They go through life constantly in search of a place that feels like home mentally, physically and spiritually.
Here are the eleven life-changing truths old souls learn the hard way:
1.
You are here to break the cycle.
God & Man
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you.
Once youve addressed the terror driving your self-limiting beliefs, however, youll start to disturb the cycle.
In many ways, the cycle repeats itself when no one bothers with healing the core wounds underlying it.
you’ve got the option to be the one who interrupts the status quo.
You are here to learn how to break the cycle and create a new one for future generations.
There is no such thing as a truly safe relationship until there is safety from within.
With each new relationship, there is a risk of vulnerability.
Risk is intrinsic to intimacy but the growth is inevitable.
Old souls can fall into a pattern of becoming ensnared in toxic relationships.
These patterns are ingrained in ancient wounds that demand a second look.
Consider children who are severely bullied or neglected.
They will find the sacred intimacy of knowing themselves.
Being compassionate doesnt mean you have to be anyones emotional punching bag.
It often means being your own guru in setting healthy boundaries.
Many spiritual gurus purport that were here on this planet to learn how to love unconditionally.
The truth is, enabling toxicity doesnt do you or the person youre excusing any favors.
It doesnt give other souls the accountability they need to learn their own lessons, either.
It always bears repeating that you are a divine being and you are here to be cherished as such.
Contributing to someones mission is wonderful, but your true purpose may be larger than life.
Its possible to be both practical and passionate.
Make space and time for your own talents, goals and dreams.
Your hardships can be the guide to the populations youre here to help and serve.
Chances are, your soul already knows deep down what that is.
The ability to enjoy being alone is a goddamn superpower.
Youre meant to spend some time alone growing, reflecting, and flourishing.
You dont exist to do things half-assed.
Youre not here to settle for or bow down to those who give you crumbs.
Cherish quality over quantity; one good friend is more satisfying than several false ones.
Your disowned parts are just as important as your public persona.
We all have an ideal person we would love to be 24/7.
These are authentic parts of us that also happen to be socially acceptable.
Its wonderful to be friendly, generous and kind.
These inner parts deserve just as much air to breathe.
Itll eventually blow up in unexpected ways.
What desires are being silenced?
Your inner parts are not meant to be disowned theyre meant to be addressed and rediscovered in healthier ways.
Abundance and miracles are your birthright.
Everyone defines abundance in different ways.
Whatever wealth means to you, you are deserving of it.
Small-minded people are also haunted by those who succeed in areas that they have yet to thrive in.
You are a divine being and you deserve to feel rich in everything you do.
Ecstasy is your love letter to yourself.
Self-discipline is admirable and should be cultivated in all areas of your life.
However, your lifeline to success shouldnt be dependent on deprivation.
Give yourself permission to surrender to what gives you pure, unadulterated ecstasy from time to time.
Youre not here to starve, emotionally, psychologically or physically.
The detours you take are just another part of your journey.
It is vital to allow yourself some indulgences that set your body, mind and soul on fire.
Remind yourself on a daily basis, I am worthy of pleasure.
I am worthy of the ecstasy that makes life so worth living.
Emotionally desensitizing yourself or spiritually bypassing the pain cuts you off from the power of self-transformation.
Gratitude means celebrating the things that are working, not sugarcoating or sweeping everything under the rug.
Youre here to lead a charmed life one filled with miracles, synchronicity and abundance beyond your wildest dreams.
It gives you access to the boundary-building that you might feel otherwise too timid to undertake.
Darkness becomes a lot easier to manage when you know that it is giving birth to light.
Not forcing what isnt there can speed up the process of whats actually meant to be.
Finally leaving the toxic people and experiences that we are most terrified to leave actually upgrades our experience.
As our soul exits damaging environments, it uplevels into higher planes of thinking, feeling and being.
