“The Twelve Illusions”
By Tahlia Hunter
And on the path of self-acceptance,
These twelve illusions you shall shed:
The illusion of being unwanted:
For, in truth, there is no such thing
as an unwanted soul.
The illusion of being unlovable:
For Your True Self is Love.
The illusion of unworthiness:
For you are always deserving of
love and success.
The illusion of being weird:
For there is no such thing as Normal.
The illusion of needing external validation:
For your worth is never dependent on another’s approval.
The illusion of being insignificant:
For your presence Impacts all of humanity.
The illusion of being powerless:
For within you lies the strength to shape
Your destiny and influence the world.
The illusion of not being good enough:
For you were Born good enough.
The illusion of being a burden:
For your existence is a precious gift, and
your contributions add value.
The illusion of being unsuccessful:
For success is subjective, and
your path is uniquely yours.
The illusion of being ugly:
Because that label only ever reflects the viewer being incapable of seeing beauty.
And the illusion that aging
decreases your value:
For, in truth, you are not a body but a Soul.
