BUILDING PEACE FROM PIECES

THE WISDOM OF YOUR ELDER SELF

3/17/2024

 
INTRODUCTION
What if I told you that you already hold the key to unlocking the wisdom you seek? Imagine sitting face-to-face with your elder self, someone who has lived a life full of experiences, lessons, and growth. She’s weathered storms, celebrated victories, and navigated the twists and turns of life's journey. 

What would she tell you?
The Secret to Walking the Rest of the Journey
Picture

​Close your eyes and envision yourself in a quiet, serene space, surrounded by a soft, golden light. Across from you sits your elder self—a vision of wisdom and grace. As you gaze into her eyes, you feel a sense of peace wash over you.

You begin the conversation, asking the questions that have been weighing on your heart:

"What Was Truly Important in Life?"

Your elder self smiles softly, her eyes twinkling with wisdom. She shares stories of love, connection, and moments of pure joy. She tells you that relationships mattered most—time spent with loved ones, laughter shared with friends, and the simple joys of everyday life.

"What Should I Pay Attention to as I Continue My Journey?"

She pauses, her expression thoughtful. "Pay attention to the whispers of your heart," she advises. "Listen to your intuition, for it holds the answers you seek. Trust yourself, even when the path ahead seems uncertain."

"What Really Matters in the Grand Scheme of Things?"
​

Your elder self's gaze softens as she speaks, her words carrying the weight of a lifetime of wisdom. "At the end of the day, it's not about the material possessions or the accolades," she says. "It's about the love you shared, the lives you touched, and the legacy you leave behind."
Embrace Your Inner Wisdom
As you absorb her words, you feel a sense of clarity wash over you. You realize that the answers you've been searching for were within you all along. You have the power to create a life filled with meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.
Leave with Newfound Clarity and Purpose
Picture
As you say good-bye to your elder self, you carry with you a newfound sense of purpose. You no longer feel burdened by the expectations of others or the need to measure up to some idealized version of success. Instead, you embrace the beauty of your own journey—the highs, the lows, and everything in between.


​You step forward with confidence, knowing that you have the wisdom, strength, and resilience to overcome any obstacle that comes your way. And as you navigate the winding road ahead, you do so with an open heart, a curious mind, and a deep sense of gratitude for the journey itself.

CONCLUSION
So, as you reflect on this powerful encounter with your elder self, remember that the most profound messages you could ever receive come from within. Trust in the wisdom of your own heart, for it holds the key to unlocking the secrets of a life well-lived.
Listen to the whispers of your soul, follow the guidance of your intuition, and know that you are exactly where you need to be, every step of the way.
 
This is one way a “present self-elder self conversation” might go?
 
How would your conversation go?
Souly yours,

​Carol
