Let me share with you a dream I recall having, a dream which validates this message for me. I was walking barefoot along a beautiful white sandy beach in a very secluded area. No one was on the beach but me. It was as though this beautiful beach was created just for me. This very peaceful and tranquil place had a beautiful white sandy shoreline and crystal clear turquoise waters. I could stay here forever, I thought to myself. It felt so heavenly. As I was walking along the sandy shore I looked down at my feet and noticed beautiful crystals in varying colors of reds, blues, purples, pinks, and greens. Some were even translucent and others were iridescent reflecting back a rainbow of colors. I had been walking on these beautiful crystals all along but hadn’t even noticed them until now. I remember thinking to myself, how could I have not noticed them? As I was admiring the colorful gems, I was drawn to pick up a few. They varied in shapes and sizes, not one gem was the same. A big beautiful purple heart shaped crystal glistening and gleaming in the sunlight caught my eye. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and I felted honored to hold it in my hands. I recall feeling how excited I was and how much I loved their beauty that I wanted to bring them home with me. I remember being reassured in my dream that the crystals are mine to do with what I want. They were the treasures to my soul. I was surprised. How can something so beautiful belong to me and I can do what I want with them? I was so grateful and delighted that such beauty could be mine. I decided to leave my gems on the beautiful white sandy beach where I found them so that I could come back to that location and admire them whenever I chose to. It was my private little piece of paradise where I could come to any time, a place where I could relax and admire such immense beauty. My gems, the treasures to my soul will always be there waiting for my return.
Once I was able to forgive and release the pain of my past, that’s when my gems became visible to me. By pushing forward when I felt it was hopeless was the key to my success. My pain and anger dissolved away uncovering my beautiful gems, the treasures to my soul. Your gems, crystals, or gold and silver, or whatever you see as a treasure, is in your treasure chest to your soul waiting for you to discover. You could be trampling on them and not even notice just like I did until I was willing to forgive and release the pain of my past.
Life is like a treasure hunt, seeking our hidden gems. Be willing to stop and see what’s there inside your treasure chest.
