Nobody will come to save you from the internal battles you’re here on earth to overcome. Other people can support you, but you must be the one who learns the lessons you came here to embody.
It’s your responsibility to take the lead in healing yourself. You’re never alone, and there are always benevolent, divine energies supporting you, but you must courageously choose to walk the path of your healing and evolution.
