After many years in strategic leadership roles across global institutions—spanning project management, management sciences, and complex systems—I chose early retirement from corporate life to follow a more soul-guided path. I now walk the path of my highest purpose. I am also a mother of two daughters, a widow, and a friendly presence to everyone I meet. I bring my whole self into everything I do. My writing is spiritually inspired, shaped by a lifelong devotion to purposeful service and a journey of conscious, lived experience.

Inner turmoil, caused by the guilt projected onto you, can feel like “being imprisoned”—which could become a life sentence if not faced and healed back to inner peace, with the reassurance that God knows the truth, and that’s what is most important.
Feeling like that was a missed opportunity to be your best self: Put yourself on your own pedestal which will allow for missteps. We are all a work in progress and even though we strive to always act from our highest and purest intentions, sometimes we may make a bad judgment call through our fears or pain. Do not let this misstep define you. Do not punish yourself through this by thinking you are “bad” and do not deserve love. Be gentle with yourself as you deserve love more so through this rough moment of your life. Just make sure you come out of this learning from all its consequences and evolve to have a better experience in any future similar situation.

If you are trying to achieve your highest aspirations (soul’s desires) and you are not progressing well—chances are that you may not be taking the best approach for you nor doing it consistently at your highest potential. Step back and clearly define the challenges you’re facing, then figure out and try the optimal approach *for you* instead of quitting.

We sometimes unconsciously build a wall to protect our open heart from bleeding from the panic and pain created by our fears of not understanding “what will be in our lives”. Shifting to embracing “what is” will create that step to tearing the wall down and open us up to seeing and recognizing new possibilities.

On the way to becoming your authentic self (of the soul), you may have to part with some “relationships” which are a distraction to your process. Each person may be distracted by a different type of “relationship” and no experience is necessarily better nor worse. If needed, part with them graciously; be grateful for what they contributed to your process and keep that light between you two.

Sometimes our action will inspire others to “up their game”, i.e., improve the quality of what they are doing. Sometimes our action will trigger others by bringing forth issues that need to be addressed. This goes both ways and it’s our right what we choose to do with this. An empowered soul would choose to evolve from this interaction, either way, by recognizing that we are interconnected.

Shadow work helps us to love the part of us that feels rejected or feels “bad” especially when exposed to others. Every part of us has its place so working to accept and integrate that part that needs more love and healing can open us up to unconditional self love which helps with our inner peace and with reaching our full potential.

Feeling overpowered by the other? Chances are, you are in a low vibration or off-balance. Or maybe you are feeling separated from the other because of their self-righteous judgment.
Every part of us has its place so working to reintegrate that part that feels overwhelmed or abandoned or rejected that needs more love and healing can open us up to unconditional self love – which helps us to connect to ourself first and then the other in a healthy way.

Was your emotional pain caused because your expectations of them weren’t met? Were your expectations of them fair to them? Are you trying to heal from the experience or do you think remaining mad at them and/or withholding your love from them will give you justice? But, should you only give them your love as a reward for meeting your expectations? Unconditional love should also include giving them your love even if they can’t meet your needs because they have to tend to their needs first.

If it is a similar situation to a past one, this time around you should be able to view it from a higher perspective by using the lessons learned from the similar past experience. You would know for sure that you have broken the old pattern of limiting behavior if you do something this time that puts you closer to achieving your highest aspirations.
