IF I CAN TALK TO MY OLD SELF, I WOULD TELL HER… By: Rita Hallak Rita, each hardship, heartbreak, pain, humility, sorrow as well as the greatest joy you will face, will shape you into the best person you have yet to become. In time, you will meet that person. Oh, but beware! You’re going to have some tough painful times ahead of you that will ultimately serve you. You’re going to think about quitting. You’re going to trust the wrong people. You’re going to think that the world is against you. You’re going to create self-doubt. You’re going to start believing nothing can or will ever work out. You’re going to meet some jealous snakes, mean people, short-lived friendships, bad relationships, naysayers, haters, and bullshitters too. Every negative experience you encounter will become your source of energy, and that said energy will fight off the dark getting you closer to the light and your greatest purpose of all. You’ll realize those sources will be the most important part of finding your true self and thank them. You, my precious darling are a blazing soul meant to survive in this world. Believe me when I say that every experience will never make you bitter, but all the better. Oh beautiful soul, you will survive what you presumed would have at one time shattered you and killed you. Reflect on those unforgettable sources and thank them for serving their purpose…for serving you. There may be some who will frown on you, those aren’t your people. There will be the envious and the admirers who will wish they had your courage to stand alone in this tough world but choose not to stand with you out of fear of oppositional forces who will underestimate your capabilities and your worth. You are that powerful force of energy, a system buster here to break down what doesn’t work. You’re here to inspire the people that vibrate towards you and enlighten others who don’t know how to get closer to the light. Raise your head up high and straighten your crown…the crown you were born to wear. Allow your spirit to shine through you, you are the gift to this world and your inner glow will always survive, you are the unstoppable soul.
