The Swan

Welcome to Tuesday, November 14th which is an 8 in Numerology.

The 8 is about personal power, self-confidence, and inner strength. Combined with today’s card, The Swan, it is giving us a hint of who we can become… The Swan.

I’m sure you’ve heard the story of the Ugly Duckling before. The Ugly Duckling hides away, picked on, ridiculed until one day it becomes a beautiful swan. Take that analogy and mirror it unto yourself. The Ugly Duckling is you and your perception of yourself. Once you shed away your fears, bad self-perception, old stories, etc., that is when you become the Swan.

There is a reason that we see more Ugly Ducklings than Swans.

So few shed their feathers and hide in their old stories. The ones where they were abused, mentally, physically and emotionally. The ones where somebody said something to them that ‘made’ them who they are now. You will never become a Swan until you can leave those old stories behind.

Understand that in this paradigm that we live in that there will always be ‘good’ and ‘bad’, ‘happy’ and ‘sad’, etc. We have to accept both of them as equal partners because the Swan knows that you’ll never know true happiness until you’ve experienced true sadness.

So embrace the good times and the bad times. Own them. Experience them. Cry when you need to cry, laugh when you feel like laughing. And don’t give a care about what somebody might say about you. This is your dream, not theirs.

Today’s song is; Broken Hero from my band DNA from a few years ago.

“You have to let go of the past and move forward and capture that inner warrior, healing that hero in you. Heed this call to yourself just this one time.”
