Most of us become all too easily preoccupied with thoughts, goals, and daily current events. We lose sight of how far we’ve come and/or what’s right in front of us in each moment. We get caught up with perfectionism, societal idealism, and political correctness. These ways of thinking are usually instilled at a very young age, and further enhanced by the media and our own self-criticism as we age into adulthood.

Yet throughout all this we always remain connected to spiritual, source energy. Our spirit guides (guardian angels), as well as our own higher Self/Soul, are always with us and wish for us to remember some very important facts. They wish for us to see beyond the ego, and remember our true potential.

The ego isn’t inherently evil unto itself, it can in fact be used as a tool to propel us forward and become the person we wish to be. In the meantime however, while working through ego to become our greatest version, our spirit guides are here to remind us of our truth.

Even while reading this article – at all times of every day, your spirit guides and your own individual Soul (higher Self) are with you, and wish for you to remember…

• Remember, Everything Is Meant To Be as It Should

Our true purpose here on planet Earth, in this lifetime, is to evolve our Soul and the Soul of the collective consciousness. We chose to incarnate in this material realm for the exact purpose of learning and growing and discovering who we are. Thus, the current situation we find ourselves in is where we’ve chosen to be and are meant to experience at this time. Granted this doesn’t mean we should settle (especially if facing a serious situation), for there is always a lesson to be learned, and room for growth. Each one of us is both a teacher and student. Same goes for everything around us, living or non-living. Yet by learning to accept ourselves for who we are, and remembering to be grateful for all we have, life becomes a lot easier.

• Remember, You Don’t Have To Make Sense of It All

No one is perfect and no one has all the answers – if they claim too, chances are it’s not true. Yet we still try to pick apart people we know (mostly ourselves), and the places we’re at, always looking to figure things out and make a plan. This is great for survival, yet it’s a very primitive outlook on life that robs us of our joy, in the moment. Stressing and worrying over trivial details is futile, considering how little control we have over most things aside from our own choices, words, and actions. Instead of getting upset over what could have been done differently or exacerbating anxiety levels, try to remember that we’re not meant to have all the answers. We should view ourselves kindly and with patience as much as possible.

• Remember, It’s OK To Feel

When we choose to incarnate on this material, 3-dimensional plane, we sign up for a ‘ticket to ride’ as it were, for our journey to Earth and all that’s included in the package. This means we choose to sign up for all the highs and lows, the pain and pleasure, and everything this human existence has to offer. Once this life ends and we return back to source/spirit energy, our opportunity to experience the human existence at it’s fullest potential is no longer the same. For this reason, as much as it hurts at times to experience life, it’s also equally just as beautiful and pleasurable. It’s okay (even encouraged) to truly feel what we’re feeling, and find the love/lesson in what we feel. Our emotional guidance system is very powerful!

• Remember, Your Spirit Guides Are Always Available

Our spirit guides are always available to us and they’re with us during our darkest and brightest of times. Yet they’ll rarely intervene unless explicitly asked when a strong connection is made. A great way to enhance the connection to your soul is to practice being still and silent. Being silent makes us better able to listen, to look inwardly and connect deeply without being distracted by outside influences. In the quiet stillness we can better connect to wisdom, helping us to understand ourselves and practice patience. Meditation is a great tool for this purpose, whether daily or weekly, yet the more we practice meditation the better. It not only grants us the opportunity to slow down and get in touch with consciousness, but also helps clear the mind, decrease levels of stress and anxiety, and connect with a higher frequency.

At the end of each day, we are all here to fully immerse ourselves in each and every experience. To feel the beauty and power behind who we are and live each day to the best of our abilities, making what we feel are the right choices with the information at hand. Nobody is alone in this lifetime, the Universe always sends someone, whether in person, or someone who is guiding us from the realm of spirit.

So take a deep breath. Truly be grateful and proud simply because you’re alive, despite the hardships. You’re only going to come out stronger, expanding your soul’s experience on many levels, and helping yourself to learn, grow, and evolve. ♥
