Life Gets To Be This Way
Dear Mary Kethya Khuon aka my future self,
I can feel you closer each and every day. I want to be you so badly. You’re so confident in who you are. You no longer doubt yourself, your abilities, or your light. You shine your light fearlessly and unapologetically.
What’s most impressive about you, is you can confidently tell people you are a CEO, founder, speaker, and performer without throwing up.
I’m still on my way there..but I can’t wait to meet the day I become you. When I envision you, I hear your voice saying to me.
“Life gets to be this way.”
“It gets to be good.”
“So good it turns into greatness.”
Words from my future self have become my 2023 mantra after years of healing from complex trauma.
Anytime I experience a moment of joy, I sit with the feeling in my heart, and I repeat, life gets to be this way…envisioning my future self.
She’s standing in front of her convertible BMW, in a white blazer, hair slicked back in a ponytail, and admiring the view of her new home..the city of angels.
She’s in a radical state of peace, love, and acceptance for her life. She fought hard to reach her success in her own way, no longer needing any validation from forces outside of her.
She knows who she is.
She knows where she came from.
And she knows never to stop dreaming.
Isn’t this the point of healing your traumas?
So you can be free to experience what life has to offer rather than fighting to feel worthy of existing.
You never had to fight to be seen.
You never had to fight to be heard.
You never had to fight to be you.
So I hope today, I can remind you that you’re allowed to exist exactly as you are and stay in the joy of good things coming your way.
Life gets to be good now.
Life gets to be this way.
And if you need an everyday practice for your body to believe in the good of life.
Dream up your future self with details, clarity, and connection.
Feel into them, and soon, you’ll become them.
Sincerely,
Mary
