Instead of carrying the most popular desires your society currently holds,
Go within and listen to what your heart wants.
The things you've been raised to believe you need to be happy may not align with your heart's desires.
Giving up the pursuit of false desires you've spent many years chasing isn't a failure.
It's okay to give up the wish to be successful by society's standards and to choose a simple life instead.
Your heart's desires are the only wishes that will bring sustainable happiness if fulfilled.
Society may say or imply that success comes from growing your net worth and influence,
But this kind of growth is likely not what your heart desires.
Everything you need to be genuinely happy already exists in front of you,
But the can you see it?
There is incredible beauty and peace in appreciating mother earth's priceless gifts that are abundant and available to everyone.
Your eternal soul is always watching you with pure unconditional love and wants you to fully appreciate the gift of the human life you've been given.
The most beautiful part about your human self is that you are you.
Instead of trying to copy other people who have what society says is success,
Focus on appreciating what makes your heart sing with joy.
It's beautiful to be the person you were born to be without trying to become someone you're not.
Just like each tree has a unique feel and look,
Your essence is one of a kind and nourishing to all the life that surrounds you now.
Let go of the idea that there is something you must acquire before you can be complete.
You're already perfectly yourself,
Which includes all your imperfections.
Loving yourself isn't about embracing your unique gifts so that you can become successful in society's eyes and change the world.
True self-love is about falling in love with the person you already are and the life that surrounds you now.
There is a time for ambition and personal growth,
But these things are best pursued for the joy of evolution and not because you unconsciously believe they'll help you more fully love yourself.
You're already a divine miracle who makes the world a significantly better place with you in it.
You're already the beautiful healer and artist you long to be.
Around you now is a world of abundance lovingly supporting you as you grow from a unique seed into a marvelous tree.
But you must never forget that a tree's love for itself is just as strong when it's a seed as it is when it's a 1,
000 year old giant redwood.
