Dear Precious,
Congrats on your graduation! I am so proud of you. It's not like you needed to achieve something to be congratulated because you are awesome without any doing. Just being you is something to be celebrated. But I know it is also nice to be recognized.
You have a bright future ahead, and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your company and how grateful I am for keeping me in your loop. I know now that you are pursuing your dream. I am thrilled by it! Perhaps, a little too much excitement for the old soul like me...
I have lived almost 4 times longer than you, and I know one or two things about life that you have not yet to figure out. So I decided to write you as a gift of words with best wishes for my darling granddaughter. I hope it would come in handy in some way as you embark and explore your life journey.
In our life, there would be things that no matter how you think you are prepared, you are not able to bring the outcome that you desire. Not because we didn't try hard enough or are inept. In life, there are things we simply have no control over. Just as I would be leaving this world sometime soon. This isn't only my fate, but it is for all of us. It's just a matter of when.
We could lament and feel pity, upset, or anger, but that's not going to change anything. The good news is that we always have choices in how we react to those uncontrollable things. I have accepted that my existence in this physical world is limited and made a choice to live each day to my liking. Why do we cry over the thing that's destined? We knew what we are getting into. We have "birth" and "death" of the body here on the earth.
That is a condition we agreed and understood before our birth. We were so eager and excited to experience life with the body we inherited. - seeing with physical eyes, smelling enticing aromas, hearing interesting sounds toughing and caressing, and tasting delicious foods, which aren't available without the body. There are so many things you can explore and enjoy only here in the physical world of dimension.
My dear child, live your life on your own term. Don't let anyone tells you that you are not capable of doing something, or what you want to do - No matter how the thing seems unrealistic and impossible. There aren't any things we cannot do - if we believe. Trust your feelings. Believe in yourself. Your life is only for you. - Nobody else's. You do NOT owe anything to anyone. Be a driver of your life journey, not a passenger. You have absolute control over your life in how to respond not react.
A limitation is only the self-imposed obstacle that we create in our minds. Please do NOT doubt your choice because of someone else's advice. They mean well, but they are not you and they don't live your life. -YOU do!
I said too much now….I love you so so much. Remember that I am always your No.1 cheerleader, no matter what, wherever I am and will be.
Remember that you can not fail your life even if you wanted to. Because your life is unique and original whatever you co-create with God, you are destined to succeed. You are born to create a beautiful and exciting life you so desire and dream.
Remember that too, you do not have to do everything on your own. Help is always available if you seek it. From your family and friends, even strangers, and from others who left this world before us.
Take care of yourself, and have a fantastic time with your friends in Italy. Looking forward to seeing you again this summer.
With Love,
Granny
