Letter To My Soul:
In the years ahead, you'll come to knowledge and insight that cannot be conveyed in words. I could tell you what you'll experience and see and feel. But I'd never be able to make you understand, not really. There are so many things, my younger soul, which you just cannot get from a book or a story; no matter how smart you are or how much you wish it were so. So instead of simple advice, I'll offer you something far more valuable—hope!
Although you will experience pain, you will also experience healing. For in that process you grow. Although you will know sadness, there will also be great joy. Don't dwell too much on either one, but instead seek the steady embrace of contentment. It's here that we find our greatest peace. In your darkest moments of rage, hold on to that noble part of you called forgiveness, for that is life and anger--death.
Many of your disappointments in the years to come will actually be blessings in disguise, as they will clear the path for better things than those which were lost. Life will always have its highs and lows. But those who quest for the true word know that the hard times eventually pass, and brighter days will shine again from behind the clouds of despair.
Know too that we all have unlimited potential; I see this at last within us. It's never too late to do something wonderful, but don't wait too long! You have too much to give to be slowed by fear and indecision. Love the world like you can, and it will love you back.
I know what you can do.
Be your true self, for the world needs this from each and every one of us. And never be afraid. I am always here with you my brother…
THE ONCE AND FUTURE YOU
