Dreams come true when you dream with your eyes open. Especially your third eye.

A lot of folks can’t hear themselves because they’re too busy over explaining themselves. Constantly justifying your existence leaves little room to simply exist.

What you accept as your baseline becomes your energetic floor. The moment you stop accepting less than you deserve, you activate reality to reorganize around you.

If your heart's desire is clear, don't mess with the designer imposters version of it.
Don’t teach your emotional energy to redirect onto something safer, more accessible, and lower quality than what you envision.

Jim Crow tried to keep her in her place. Bessie Stringfield burned rubber on the open road.
She didn’t wait for a path. She made one.
In the 1930s & 40s, Bessie crisscrossed the US on her motorcycle.
8 solo trips.
She had no destination in mind, tossing a penny on a map to decide her route.

Self-compassion makes you unashamed. It clears the shame that never belonged to you. Without shame shaping your self-love, you walk grounded in full self-regard. You finally understand that your presence is your alignment.
