• REMOVE DOUBTS: Eliminate questions about who you are or what you value. You already know these things and other people’s uniqueness have tried to change your own. Do not doubt your self or your values.

•  EMBRACE YOUR UNIQUENESS: You are special and different and that’s good! There is a reason we are given the talents and struggles that are individual. Your uniqueness is not only powerful, it is valuable.

• WITNESS OTHERS: Your profound being cannot exist alone, others must also be valued for who they are. By embracing others and their journeys, you can heal your soul in immensely powerful ways.

•  CHOOSE WISELY: As human beings, we are the only species who can choose to ignore or embrace our instincts and desires. Ignoring those deep rumblings of self can be harmful, but choosing to embrace your real soul identity brings more to you than you could plan.

• GET DEEP: Cleaning only the surface of any thing does not work for long-term preservation. Your soul cannot just be dusted off every so often. Take time to really listen to your self and allow your name to resonate within you.
