(If you believe in reincarnation and afterlife)
Our souls can evolve only when we actively seek to work through our issues and lighten the load. From the moment we are born, our souls may feel heavy, burdened by the weight of all we have lived, loved, and learned in our past incarnations. By addressing our issues head-on, we can begin to divest ourselves of what no longer serves us—unwarranted fear, the inability to feel empathy, and self-limiting behaviors are just a few of the many challenges we may face in this lifetime. Some issues are easier to resolve as they are merely the final remnants of past-life residue, while others pose greater challenges, requiring us to work through them throughout this lifetime.
We often expect to recover quickly from difficult or painful circumstances and may feel emotionally inept or hopeless when we do not or cannot. However, the evolution of the soul is an ongoing process that spans many lifetimes. Accepting that even our best efforts cannot control every situation, person, or outcome is crucial. Your current experiences may lay the groundwork for future healing, whether in this lifetime or the next. The more you release each time, the more you grow, allowing your soul to evolve.
While it may not be possible to work through all our issues in a single lifetime, it is essential to confront what we are called to face in this life and do the necessary work. Remember, the most effective way to let your soul grow is to be an active participant in life. By being present in each moment, your soul will naturally undertake this work for you.
