Self-awareness, personal accountability, and expanded consciousness come to you in moments, as layers, and on timelines through choices, decisions, and actions. They are made known to you from a practice of going within. They are not reliable when coming from what the vast world or any single person tells you.

You and your higher self share a symbiotic relationship, and the way you nurture trust and connection with your higher self shapes its extraordinary unfolding. How you listen to and dance with her cues and messages is your ball of clay to co-create your trustworthy inner landscape.

Your growth is, first and foremost, always occurring irrespective of anyone or anything external to you. Nobody grows and develops you. A toxic relic of control-based system architectures and designs, your journey is inspired by soul-focused motivation and determination. Grit is this.

People flow through our lives to teach, shape, model, and reflect back to us, providing contrast and complement. But ultimately, your inner knowing and self-directing compass have nothing to do with them. They have everything to do with the practice of mastery you build between your higher self and you.
