Meanwhile, people like me — who simply remind others to go within, to trust themselves, to heal and awaken — are called “woo woo” or conspiracy theorists. We are mocked for seeing beyond the surface. But let a pastor speak, and the world listens. Why do we place so much faith outside of ourselves, yet struggle to hold that same knowing for our own souls?

No one else can hand you your truth. Your tears are not mine. My lessons are not yours. Just as we have different tastes in food, fashion, and love, how could we ever share the exact same truth? It’s not possible. I no longer believe. I know. I walk with truth — my truth. And that is what I encourage you to discover within yourself. The world will always be loud. Leaders, celebrities, and systems will always demand your attention. But your freedom, your power, your clarity — that is an inside job.
