You cannot fail at life my love.
You have been taught that you have to get a qualification,
Get a job or maybe start a business,
Find the one and marry them,
Buy a house,
Have children,
Go on holidays once a year,
Watch TV,
Retire,
Go on some more holidays ideally,
Play with your grandchildren,
Watch some more TV,
Get decrepit,
Die.
You have been taught that you have to look a certain way,
Have to behave a certain way,
Have to aspire to certain things,
Have to obey,
Have to keep the questions tucked away,
Have to keep your heart's yearning at bay,
Have to ignore this feeling that there has to be more to life than this,
Have to follow the rules even if or maybe especially if they contradict each other.
You have been taught that you have to stay safe in this three-dimensional world.
Don't go taking risks.
This is what being a success is.
But you are not a three-dimensional being.
You are multi-dimensional.
You contain the universe.
What does your soul want?
As long as you are breathing,
Your soul is having a wonderful time and you are a success from your soul's point of view.
Your human might well find that some experiences are thoroughly unpleasant and prefer not to experience them,
Like sleeping on a park bench in winter because you are homeless.
Your soul might find that this is a thrilling experience because you get to experience the world in a completely new and different way.
Your soul knows that this does not in any way reflect your worth as a human,
But your human could find that very challenging.
So following some rules to not end up homeless could be a good idea.
What your soul and your human have in common is a deep yearning to feel ecstatically alive.
Your soul's desire is for your body to be so light that it can fully embody in it,
That it can fully experience the wonder and the miracle and the intensity and the exquisite sensations of life on planet Earth.
How do we do that?
By following joy.
Notice what lights you up and be or do more of that.
Tune into your heart.
What makes it sing?
Tune into your body.
What makes it feel radiant and vibrantly alive?
You absolutely have your soul's permission to not do what is expected of you,
Especially if it is out of alignment with your soul.
And if you do make choices that are out of alignment with your soul,
It will offer you opportunities again and again to make different choices,
To return to it.
You absolutely have your soul's permission to let go of people who only suck your light and leave you as an empty shell,
Even if they are your family.
You absolutely have your soul's permission to rest,
To try new things and to not pursue them if you lose interest,
To work so you can pay your bills rather than to change the world,
To sing out of tune,
To play,
To do things just because they give you pleasure,
To have a messy home,
To feel grief and anger and sadness and despair if that is what is arising for you out of your human experience,
To be completely enraptured by beauty,
To love with abandon,
To have your heart broken wide open,
To adopt another pet.
What really matters as far as the soul is concerned is the energy and the intention behind everything you are,
Do and have.
If you are living a life of love,
Gratitude and joy for yourself and for other beings,
You are inviting your soul to come closer and that my friend is success.
