Sometimes you find yourself in a rut, curled into a ball beneath your covers and wondering “why in the hell is life so hard?” while eating an entire bag of peanut butter puffs in a single 15 minute sitting (or maybe that’s just me?).
Sometimes you feel stuck. Sometimes you feel lost. Sometimes you feel sad and confused and stagnant without a clear idea of how in the heck you’re supposed to move forward.
And sometimes, you find answers in the most comforting of places.
Sometimes you invite some friends over to laugh and talk and connect around the warmth of your fireplace, and bathed in the glowing light of the flickering flame, your wise and beautiful friend Candice (who also happens to be an amazing life coach, btw) stops and pauses before asking you a question that blows your mind and causes your forearm hair to stand on end:
“What would your inner queen do?” Candice asks.
With conviction in her voice, Candice speaks again: “She’s already written the book, you know. She’s already done it all.”
I paused pensively, feeling the sheer power of that statement swirl within me.
Woahhhhhhhhh…
She’s already done it all – she’s already written the book!
My head spun at the thought that somewhere inside of me, whether I knew it or not, laid an extremely wise and powerful woman who was not only capable of moving forward in the right direction, but already knew exactly how to do it. She’d already lived the story. Already been through the hardships. Already experienced the victories. Already tasted the nectar of sweet joy.
And – guess what?
You’ve got one, too, Sweet HoneyChild!
Of course, yours might not have a queen, per se. Some people have a king or a warrior or a goddess or, hey, a badass mother*&$%er. It could be anything! It’s different for everyone, but the title doesn’t really matter: The point is, there is a supremely wise, loving, capable, powerful being within you, charged with the highest form of badassery you’ve ever experienced in all of your cumulative years on earth. Call her (or him!) your highest self, if you will.
You’ve got one!
And the best part?
That being IS you. She is you. You are her. You and her are one.
*Insert Eye-Roll Here*
If you’re rolling your eyes a little now, I get it.
I used to get annoyed when people spouted platitudes like, “You already know the answers!” and “The answers are within you!”
Yeah freaking right. If I already knew the answers, then why would I be laying here now, curled up inside my sheets, sniffling while inhaling aforementioned bag of peanut butter puffs?!
(Wait. Don’t answer that question, please.)
Anyway, it sure doesn’t always feel like we know the answers, does it? Sometimes we feel so far away from and so cut off from our inner guidance that the beautiful, divine songs of our queen sound like whispers at best, or like complete silence at worst.
In those moments, it’s easy to think that it’s just us. That we’re all on our own, and that it’s completely up to our small, paltry selves to figure every impossible thing out and to find our way out of this mess or this difficulty or whatever it is that we’re stuck in at that particular moment in time.
But you know what? No matter what, she’s there. Your inner queen. Your inner warrior. Your inner badass mother*&^ing sorcerer of divine light. Whatever you want to call her, she’s there.
And she’s already written the book! She already knows not only how to help part the seas of your difficulty and sorrow, but she also knows the exact steps you need to take to create your most powerful, most meaningful, most fully embodied life – the life that you were born to live on this beautiful green and blue planet we call earth.
She already knows because she’s already done it.
Yes – she already knows, if only you can learn how to tap into her (or rather, into you – into that all-knowing force that is you and is her and is everything-that-is).
It’s just that you might not be able to feel or see her (yet!), you’re so stuck in your current state… though you think you’re ready to finally meet her, thank you very much.
Or perhaps you’ve caught glimpses of her here and there, or have made contact with her every once in awhile, but the truth is, you want more.
You want to develop a real working relationship with her where you can hear her guidance loud and clear. Where you can feel her presence more often than not. Where she and you effortlessly intertwine to become a real, in-the-flesh, living, breathing version of that person you were meant to become – and in fact already are, but have somehow forgotten.
Because, truly, how might your life change if you were only able to reach out and talk with your inner queen/divine sorcerer/goddess at any time, receiving guidance, help and answers with ease when you need them most, allowing her to lift and strengthen you and ultimately transform you into who you’ve been all along: Into the greatest, grandest, most spectacular version of yourself?
How might your life change if you knew without a doubt that somewhere within the depths of yourself laid that inner powerful, peaceful self who already knows all the answers, already knows exactly what to do to guide you through your deepest troubles and your most confounding times, and who already knows how to lift you into your greatest, highest, most powerful self, with crystal-clear clarity and unwavering confidence?
And what if…
What if she wants to know you, too?
Perhaps just as badly as you want to know her?
What if she’s been waiting patiently, longingly, lovingly, for you to open the door? To let her in? To embrace her? To let her lead the way?
What if she’s been waiting your entire life?!
I believe all of this is true. (It’s certainly been true in my own experience.)
Sometimes…
Sometimes, this relationship happens all on its own. Sometimes, it’s just time. Life opens the way, your queen steps forth, and magic pursues.
But other times, you could use a little help getting to know her and learning to hear her, to open to her, to let her in. Sometimes you could use a little guidance in learning exactly how to communicate with her, build a relationship with her, and ultimately become her…
And sometimes, it’s your lucky day.
Because sometimes, your wise and powerful life coach friend Candice inspires you so much that as you’re sitting together in the warmth of your living room fireplace, the two of you giddily decide to team up and create a kingdom… err, queendom… that’s designed to help anyone who is ready to do just that: To get in touch with your inner queen/king/goddess/warrior/badass motherf&*^%er until not only can you see her and hear her loud and clear, but until you can actually feel her peaceful, powerful presence welling up deep within yourself, creating a massive tidal wave of transformation in the midst of your crazy beautiful life.
And that, my friend, is what’s happening – and it’s happening very soon, in fact.
And that is what I’d like to invite you to be a part of.
And that’s what’s gonna transform your 2018. Blow it out of the water. Make it the year you’ve been waiting for, hoping for, dreaming of… basically, like, since you were born. Ever since you were just a baby, wearing diapers and pooping and crying, blissfully unaware of the fact that you had literally zero responsibilities (yet).
What I’m trying to say is that 2018 could very well turn out to be the most transformative year of your life so far.
