When You Choose You, Everything Else Will Too.
This is the secret...
When you choose you, everything else does too…
Like, seriously. I’m not just saying fluffy words of inspiration lol.
When you stop outsourcing love, validation, meaning, and inspiration, and begin developing it from WITHIN…
That’s precisely when the universe is able to give you what you’ve been endlessly seeking for on the outside.
It’s a sort of paradox.
When you pursue the outside, it runs. Whether that’s money, a relationship, a career, etc.
But when you turn inward and begin embodying the energy of joy, fulfillment, and heightened excitement…
AKA: when you give yourself permission to feel NOW what you were waiting to feel from getting a thing…
That’s when the universe gravitates it towards you.
It’s kind of like the moth and the flame.
When you chase the outside, you’re like a moth wildly flying around looking for some sort of light.
And you end up destroying yourself because of how frenzied you are in trying to get what you want.
But when you become the light… you attract what you want TO you. You don’t even move. You’re like a lighthouse on a dark night.
Also, this is really important: choosing you is the prerequisite to actually being able to make informed choices of things you want on the outside.
Meaning: if I never choose myself and only chase and pursue the outside, I’m not actually making informed decisions.
I’m acting from desperation, scarcity, and panic.
But when I deeply and wholly choose MYSELF, that’s when I can make decisions from clarity.
I can CHOOSE to be in a relationship, or I can CHOOSE to say no.
I can choose to stay in a particular career, or I can choose to leave.
I can choose to build my dream-life.
I can choose because I’m already fulfilled within. And that gives me the bandwidth to make grounded, informed decisions elsewhere.
Otherwise, we’re like puppets being controlled by the outside world.
Someone says this, you feel that.
The world does this, you do that.
You see what I’m saying?
Learning how to choose you will through-and-through transform your entire life.
