Worlds Best Kept Secret
After all these years
All my faces
Phases
And ages
One constant has remained trueAll you can do is allow people to be them
And honor the fact that you are you
You cannot have expectations for anyoneNot even loved ones, elders, or mates
Colleagues
Strangers
Mentors
Not even yourself
We’re all the sameWe all have a story that made us some way
So, it’s only your job to show up as you and allow them to do to the same
Show your love the same
Remember, no one’s ever to blameIf you don’t enjoy how they show up, look within
If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, look within
Then decide how you can show up in a way that serves you, decide if doing “it” even serves you and go from there even if that means no longer “showing up”
Trust you know what’s best
Because as long as you know you and you stand true then the comfort, the love, the radiance, peace and happiness it’ll all be within
You’ll know when to give, when to stay silent, when to speak, when to show up, and when to remove yourself
Regardless of who or what you encounter , you’ll remain free
No baggage, no weight, acceptance is a beautiful thingYou’ll be walking, living, breathing love
You’ll be valued while adding value by simply being you
Relationships will flourish
Life is more beautiful this way
All because of the power in you
Your ability to “choose” is a virtue
Treat it is as such and emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual balance will be your preset
Chaos does not have to be a expected
Free you
Do no harm to yourself or others
And accept all your challenges with faith
That’s the real secret
That’s where the abundance is at …
Because there truly are no limits once you get to the point of honoring your gift of “choice”
Combine it with good intent and the world is yoursLetter to my younger self just love yourself, love this life, and focus on your growth
Don’t let life shape you into a someone you don’t knowWorlds best kept secret

I love this and feel so much peace reading it. It simplifies life, which often feels so complicated. I love this idea”Regardless of who or what you encounter, you’ll remain free
No baggage, no weight, acceptance is a beautiful thing” You free yourself by how you choose to live and this letter reminds us that there is so much we can’t control as far as what happens in life but there is also so much we can control in terms of how we respond. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being a part of The Unsealed. <3 Lauren

The growth and evolution in you is amazing. Thank you for being transparent within the community. I needed this. Deciding to grow up and show up in the way that “serves” you is what I needed. That is why I am parenting my child differently than I was raised and much more differently then how my mother and grandmother was raised. I am praying for your peace and sending you much love and light. Thanks again for sharing.
