\"Jodi<\/a>You won\u2019t find the answers out there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can look far and wide. You can look up, down, and all around.<\/p>\n

But you won\u2019t find them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You won\u2019t find the answers in another\u2019s voice or another\u2019s experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can try and try to hear your truth in another\u2019s words. You can try and try to copy and mimic and put yourself in their truth. But it still won\u2019t be yours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You won\u2019t find the answers in the books that have been written or the songs that have been sung or the prayers that have been prayed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They may lead you closer to your heart. They may lead you closer to your soul.<\/p>\n

But they are not your heart. And they are not your soul. They are simply messengers to help you get there. They are simply tools to help lead you home \u2013 to your truth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The answers have always been inside of you. Always.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And in order to reach them and hear them and embody them, you must realize how powerful you are. You must realize how wise you are. And you must realize how wonderful you are.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The answers are right there just waiting for you to access them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right underneath the surface. Just under the fear and the running and the insecurity and the defensiveness. They are right there.<\/p>\n

Your beautiful soul is always connected to all that is. Your beautiful soul is always a part of everything. Your beautiful soul is so, so wise. And your beautiful soul is always available to you \u2013 at any moment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your beautiful soul holds all of the answers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

And to access this amazing knowledge, it\u2019s imperative that you slow down. It\u2019s essential that you make time to go within. It\u2019s important that you sift through everyone else\u2019s answers until you dig deep enough to reach your own. You\u2019ll know them when you find them. You\u2019ll feel in your gut that they are your truth. You\u2019ll know it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are the answers I\u2019m speaking of. <\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the answers that only you can have access to. These are the answers that are so important for you to become one with. Because these answers hold your truth, your essence \u2013 you.<\/p>\n

When you find them, you\u2019ll be filled with such a deep sense of peace. You\u2019ll be home.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the most wonderful feeling. A feeling that I wish for all of us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hugs,<\/p>\n

Jodi<\/p>\n
