In this place, allow your higher self to come out and tune in to the world beyond the physical.

 We can sow and reap from our harvests through faith and our hands. We often focus on the lands we currently reside in as hindrances to our growth, whether spiritual, mental, or material. While this can apply to some instances, in others this is our chance to become more creative in how we plant our seeds, come to test how meaningful things are and whether we are willing to put more effort into something and see outside of the outcome what else can we grow from and appreciate in the long run. Each seedling we think of into existence and choose to plant may immediately come to fruition or take consistent work to become what we had anticipated eventually. It is our job if we decide to dedicate our spirit and time to something, not to cut corners but truly take what time we have to nurture things fully because shortcuts can lead to short runs and either failure in harvest or not reaching the best fruits possible. So why settle for less than what you deserve and can produce?  On the other hand, we may find that our harvest never comes to fruition. As easy as it is to become disheartened, lose faith, and spiral into negativity and emotion, we should allow ourselves the time to look back on the process toward whatever we strive to achieve. Look back at what you learned about yourself, the levels of strength you had to become vulnerable and ask for strength potentially, the patience and compassion you gave yourself as you moved and may have stumbled, or a higher level of appreciation for those who leaned support and the connections you solidified and gained. There is truth to the saying that the journey holds more weight than the outcome, and looking back at moments like those mentioned and others indeed confirms that. Looking back at these things learned, gained, and experienced, we grow more as individuals while on this plain and show the Divine that although we did not achieve what we thought we would, we see what was gifted and are grateful. This leads to more blessings because you see them when given, but also, the Divine understands you are ready to receive and freely give. When you look back and sincerely are grateful, you also confirm that you have learned whatever extra lessons may have been sprinkled in to help you get ready for the more enormous blessings coming your way and the work that may be needed to go toward them. So you reflect on your past, present, and future investments, look not only at the outcomes but also at what was or could be gained along the way, and if specific outcomes occurred, what could be the reasoning behind that? As you look at the reasoning, do not take this as a slight sign of your worthiness to receive; what else could be reworked within yourself or your plans to meet your goal? It is straightforward to enter, for lack of better words, a pity party mindset, so do your best to forgive yourself, and feel what needs to be felt, but do not remain stuck there. Reflect with grace, friends, and for those inclined to read Psalms, I was led to mention Psalm 150 as a way to remember to praise God if that resonates.
