To learn from your failings is divine …

If you play, you’ll lose. If you try, you’ll fail. If you’re living life on this planet, you’ll do stupid shit, make mistakes, and screw up.

If you’ve never lost, you’ve never played. If you’ve never failed, you’ve never tried. If you’ve never messed up, you’re not human.

Losing doesn’t make you a loser. Failing doesn’t make you a failure. F*cking up doesn’t make you a f*ckup.

Try your best today and you’ll always win. Take the chance on something important to you and you’ll always succeed. Accepting the lessons from your mistakes makes you the most honorable type of human.

Don’t allow the moments that didn’t turn out the way you’d hoped determine how you feel about yourself now. Find the lesson, do what you have to do, make the changes, and keep going.

This is a major time of transition in the year as well as a larger moment in our human experience. The changes you need in your life now may have felt impossible at a previous time. But this is now.

You have an immense amount of support to make AND RECEIVE changes quickly and definitively today. Let yourself change. Let your life change. Be open to receiving a different life, a different reality, a different kind of story, and release any voice that tells you you’re unworthy of receiving something beautiful, new, and different!!!

What do you need to do today to release the things that are getting in the way of your ability to receive? Shame, by definition, is hidden, a secret. What do you need to do today to lay down your burden? To whom can you speak to air it out and let it go?

Today — move your energy, break through, release, gain new understandings about yourself, your life, and your purpose.

Asé.
