Underneath the smog of a difficult day or the impatience of a frustrating situation, your soul is there doing its thing. Shining. It may require some buffing and polishing of the exterior, and you may need to do some habitbusting to sense it. You may need to expose your raw and tender underbelly to pinpoint it, especially if your shine is hiding under a few thickened layers of hard knocks or a self-destructive lifestyle. Sometimes we have our perspectives so shifted that we can’t see this shine in others—or, worse still, we can’t feel it in ourselves. Know that it’s with you, bringing magic to the mundane, because we are all connected to Source energy and to cosmic grace. Your soul is always there, just shining through your flaws and your secrets. It’s lovingly pushing through your insecurities and any positive affirmations you’re working on, even the ones that aren’t working yet. And it’s so proud of you. No matter where you’re at, you are loved from the inside—from the soul side—out. Decide to open up your connection to its ascension, and get out of your own way by trusting that your brilliant soul will radiate peace in every room you walk into. You have that choice. It’s waiting patiently for you to ask, because it will lead—whenever you are ready.
