Hope Honesty Healing Honor

Early on in my son's struggle with his substance use disorder, I came up with these four words (phases/steps) as a mantra/motto for us on his road to recovery.

Hope: Never lose this.
Honesty: Be truthful about why you are struggling.
Healing: Heal what is causing you to hurt.
Honor: Sobriety must be chosen daily.

Now that he is on his recovery journey, I started to wonder how these words could be used in any aspect of life. I found that they all ring true as a process for pretty much anything that we do. Let's take praying (manifesting) as an example. 

Hope: Never give up on what YOU (your soul) knows is right for you. Ego will try to deter you.
Honesty: Ask for exactly what you want (no waffling!) and know that there is no ceiling in place for that ask. 
Healing: Acknowledge your ego's roar and replace it with your soul's whisper. Ego is the noise; the roar in your head. Soul is the whisper you can hear but is drowned out by the ego. 
Honor: Each day is a choice to trust your soul over your ego. Affirm each day.

All things will come to us if we focus on how we need to get there. The trouble with us imperfect beings is that we doubt the power of the soul that we each carry with us every moment of everyday. Instead, we allow the ego/voice/noise inside our head to dictate our reality. 

Find your soul. Set your 4H's. Do the work to make them happen. Choose to trust your soul.

Remember: A soul does not discriminate. It cares very little what the outside world thinks of you or anyone else. It only knows the true you. Find your soul...you will know what I mean when you do. <3
