Why is my life so much harder than everyone else's?
You may have asked yourself this question in the past and I wanted to share with you quickly a little breakthrough moment that I just had while watering my plants.
I hear a lot of my clients and just people that I meet saying this to empower others when they're down.
They say,
God gives his toughest battles to the strongest soldiers.
And I watched people get disempowered and discouraged when they heard this.
So you mean it will always be this way for me?
It's so well accepted in society.
If your life is hard,
It's because you can handle it.
It just didn't resonate with me.
Why would God,
Why would the most high,
Why would the spirit of the universe put more weight on you just because you can take it?
And so I was watering my plants and I have about 15 of them and I have this little small watering can and so I'll fill it maybe,
Maybe twice,
But most of the time just once and whichever plant seems to need the water the most is gonna get watered that day.
Now don't come after me for being a mediocre plant owner.
I know,
Okay,
I'm busy.
But what I thought about when I looked at my snake plant,
Which I haven't watered in probably weeks or maybe even months,
And it's starting to yellow at the tips and lose its color,
But the leaves are strong and the plant is okay.
And I just realized maybe you are a bit more resistant than most.
Maybe you are more resilient and you have overcame profound and deep transformations and traumas and situations that other people would have fallen apart.
But the snake plant,
It's so strong that I didn't think it needed support.
It didn't show signs of withering for weeks when I wasn't watering it.
And so I wonder if it's really our lack of vulnerability that keeps our lives in this loop of being hard.
Is it because God,
The universe,
Is putting more weight on us?
It's gotta go somewhere.
Must be for you.
No.
No,
My love.
You have to ask for water.
You have to allow yourself to let go of control,
To lose a leaf sometimes.
Show your heart to the people that care about you.
Let them know that you need support.
Not when it's too late.
Not when you're burned out and exhausted.
You have nothing left.
Not just when you are falling apart,
But before then,
Before that moment.
Just because you can take more doesn't mean you should.
Doesn't mean you don't deserve water and sunlight and food and nourishment every day.
You deserve that.
The divine plan for you is not for you to struggle your entire life.
So break that belief system right now and reach out for support.
It doesn't make you weak.
It'll make you stronger.
I'm gonna go water my snake plant now and you go get yourself a hug.
Blessings.
