The Journey of Choosing Yourself

There comes a point on the path of expansion where you stop treating yourself as the problem. You stop carrying the weight of others’ projections, their opinions, and their wounds as if they define you.

You realize you are not here to be small, apologetic, or palatable to others. You are here to thrive.

When someone calls you selfish, it’s often their own unhealed wounds speaking. When someone accuses you of talking down to them, it’s their inner critic they’re hearing—not your voice. 

Their stories are not your truths.

And here’s the most liberating truth of all: You were never meant to be responsible for their healing.

On this journey, you may outgrow the people who once felt like home. Not everyone will choose to walk beside you, and that’s okay. Their path, even when it diverges from yours, is sacred too.

But letting go can ache. There’s a reverence in that ache—the bittersweet honoring of what was, the reflected versions of yourself you are now releasing.

This pain is not a signal to stop. It is an initiation. A clearing. A declaration that you are ready for more. 

For better.

The world is a mirror, reflecting your beliefs about who you are and what is possible. If you believe you are here to barely get by, life will hand you just enough. But if you know you are here to expand, to create, to be alive in every cell of your being, the world will rise to meet you.

This journey is not about proving your worth. You are already worthy.

It’s about owning your power. About embracing the truth that you are here to live fully, abundantly, wildly. To follow your desires, to honor your pleasure, and to treat your life as a sacred unfolding of possibility.

When you choose yourself, when you say yes to your desires, you create a ripple of expansion that touches everything. You embody what it means to thrive.

Choosing yourself is not selfish—it’s revolutionary. It’s an act of devotion to the highest version of you, the version that knows you are here for more than survival.

You are here to create. To love. To feel the ecstasy of alignment. To see your desires manifest not because you fought for them but because you allowed them to flow to you.

This is not about being “enough.” You were never meant to settle for enough.

This is about overflow. About walking through life so full of love, joy, and purpose that it spills into everything you touch.

Yes, there will be moments when the world feels heavy, when others’ stories tempt you to shrink. But this is where you choose yourself again. With love. With reverence. With the unshakable knowing that your journey is sacred.

You are not here to fix, to prove, or to shrink. You are here to expand.

The mirror of life will reflect the fullness of what you choose. So choose boldly. Choose joyfully. Choose yourself.

Because the more you love and honor the truth of who you are, the more you inspire others to do the same.

Your journey is a masterpiece. And you are just getting started.

Yours in devoted sovereignty,
Sharon Marie Scott
