Hey love,

The biggest reason you're not where you want to be yet is simple.

You've made comfort your god.

Your fear of losing what you have.

Your mind is clinging to the familiar because this is safety.

It is clinging to your old friends,

It is clinging to your old habits,

To old places you went to,

To the old thought patterns that you had,

To all the things that make you feel safe because you have been there before and your body and your brain knows that you're safe here.

You're not going to die when you do those exact habits and rituals and meet the same people over and over again.

This is your safety zone and this is familiar for you.

But when you want to grow,

When you get somewhere new in your life,

You have to let go of the old things because those old habits,

Those old patterns,

They will not bring you to something new.

And I understand that you're clinging to the familiar.

I do the same but we have to let those things go with love,

With gratitude.

They were here in our life for a reason and now it's time to let them go and open our hearts to receive new opportunities,

New patterns,

To create new habits,

To bring in new people that match our frequency of our vision of where we want to be,

Of the person we want to become.

We so often mistake comfort for safety and we try to stay comfortable as much as possible.

But in those comfortable space,

We quietly block our own growth.

Growth is happening outside of our comfort zone.

It's happening in the moments we feel anxious,

In the moments we stand in front of such a big wall and such a big challenge that we look at it and we're like,

Whoa,

How would I be able to overcome that?

And these are the moments when we keep going that bring growth,

Even when it feels uncomfortable,

Even when it feels heavy sometimes,

Even when we keep shaking off.

But this is where we grow.

This is when we start to fail and overcome it,

When we try and we try and we try and we fail and go get up again until someday we get there.

And I want you to believe that you can hold more.

I know that you sometimes believe that you can hold,

You cannot hold anymore.

But expanding your capacity to receive is the key to your next level.

You only have this vision in your mind because your soul believes that you can do it.

You only see the things that you are capable of.

You will not become a challenge set into your mind that you cannot overcome.

This is made for you.

You are bigger than the vision that you see in yourself.

You can do that.

I believe in you and your soul and God is believing in you as well.

Otherwise,

You wouldn't have that vision.
