Ignite your Soul

“Three things differentiate living from the soul versus living from ego only. They are: the ability to sense and learn new ways, the tenacity to ride a rough road, and the patience to deepen love over time.” ~
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

The ability to sense and learn new ways

Our perceived sense of safety in our comfort zone is an illusion of our Ego. Our Ego wants familiarity because new is scary. We can become paralyzed by our ego. Fear of failure and fear of trying new things, fear can make us standstill. But you can step out!

Determination and belief start in the mind and you need both. Open your mind to new possibilities, new opportunities, new paths in life. You got this. Take baby steps, try something new today.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline”
2 Timothy 1:7

The tenacity to ride a rough road

No one has a perfect life, even if social media is trying to portray that. We all have our ups and downs. We all have our seasons. Seasons of joy, seasons of sorrow, seasons of pain, and the seasons keep changing. (Now I have a song playing in my head) Again, you got this. Keep going, keep moving forward, keep praying, keep trusting, and know that God has you! Baby steps, one step at a time.

“Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock.”
Isaiah 26:3-4
