Finding Alignment
You deserve to live your dreams. Your day dreams are well-earned and valid. As human beings we are blessed with complexity ingrained into our experience. We exist both externally and internally. Managing both experiences is a lifelong commitment.
Admittedly, the word alignment is overused in self-help and life-coach spaces. Although this is true, I cannot think of a better synonym to replace it. Personal alignment is bringing your dreams into reality. It is the merger of our internal and external worlds. Personal alignment is communicating your needs with others, setting yourself up for success, using healthy coping mechanisms, living without shame, trusting and believing in yourself with your whole heart. We begin to break down our inherent complexity as we work towards holistic alignment. Not saying the process is easy, but the reward is.
Personal alignment isn’t living without fear but rather using our external tools to easily validate those feelings and live through it. Yes, live through it - not work through it. Personal alignment is attainable for everyone.
Without being blind to systemic privilege, some complexities are harder to position than others. There are many systems in place that need fixing and that process is necessary, but while you’re fighting those injustices, you also need to fight the ones in your direct control. That being said, I believe in you. I trust your dreams. I believe you can create the life you want to live. Trust yourself, trust the alignment process, and live through your complexities. You are worth it.
