Newsletter 5: -The Gift of Being a Misfit: Unveiling Your True Value: Feeling out of place or peculiar, is a rare and invaluable gift in itself
Dear Sacred Soul Seeker,
In a world constantly pushing us to define worth by social media status, material possessions, or fleeting appearances, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We often find ourselves judging others, and even ourselves, like scattered pennies, overlooking their profound inherent value. But dear Sacred Soul Seeker, I want you to remember this:
Embracing the identity of a misfit, feeling out of place or peculiar, is a rare and invaluable gift in itself. Always remember you are not simply a trophy to be displayed; you are a treasure, rich with depth and meaning. You should never be relegated to a wall or treated as mere décor, never regulated to a person's outer view or facade masked for the crowd. You're not one of those "delusions" that make others feel and look good, masking internal mistreatment or existing only to hold up a masquerade for external views.
My elders would say, "Just because it looks good, is it truly good?" You never know what is housed behind the walls or behind the smiles, much like social media. Stop believing what you see and hear; just because it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it might really be a chicken. Instead, you were created to be cherished, adored, nurtured, and respected for your true essence.
The mantle of the seer, healer, and sacred creator is an extraordinary shimmering treasure with potential and purpose. Yet, this sacred covenant that flows from our ancestors and the spirit world demands unwavering honesty with ourselves and with the Divine. This is not something to be taken lightly or treated casually. We each dance to our own unique rhythms and harmonies—only those who are equally yoked can journey side by side in this intricate tapestry of life.
Treasure is a breathtaking wonder, captivating to the eye and stirring awe in the heart. It inspires reverence and love. True treasures are elusive and often hard to discover, much like a needle hidden amidst a sprawling haystack. They are not just selected; they are intentionally sought after. While fruits ripen on trees, treasures lie waiting in unexpected places—at the bottom of deep mines, glistening in clear rivers, or tucked away in neglected cardboard boxes. We often overlook them while strolling through parks, wandering down alleys, or walking along busy sidewalks.
Trauma Bonding, too, can hide in plain sight, an insidious connection often mistaken for love or loyalty, tucked away in the shadows of relationships and overlooked by those who walk by.
Consider, like Adam in The Garden of Eden, God graciously decided to create a helpmate, a gift, a lover, a best friend, a soulmate. God did not ask Adam what his physical desire was, or what the woman he wanted to look like, or her anatomy. God placed him in a deep sleep, and when Adam woke up, he was in awe of the treasure. Adam did not pick Eve; she was created and chosen.
These treasures can be as unassuming as the scattered pennies we find on the streets or floors, often undervalued and dismissed. As my wise elders have shared, “The more pennies you collect, the greater their worth becomes.” These small coins can be found in our moments of need, especially when we find ourselves just one penny short of our goal, our purpose.
Never cast aside a penny; while it may seem insignificant compared to a quarter, nickel, dime, or dollar, with time and perspective, you will come to recognize its true value. Let’s strive to cultivate a culture of appreciation and understanding, seeking beauty in every individual, rather than diminishing their worth through harsh judgment.
For Your Reflection:
How often do you measure your own worth or the worth of others based on external appearances or societal validations?
Where might your "true treasures"—your innate gifts and connections—be hidden, waiting to be acknowledged and cherished?
In what ways can you cultivate a deeper appreciation for the overlooked "pennies" in your life, recognizing their true, quiet value?
With warmth, Zawadi – Gift & Sacred Healer
"Many are sleepwalking, devaluing people according to social media status, societal status, material status, outer appearance, or even what others may think and say. They're looking at and judging them like a penny—it's not until you're awakened that you'll see the true value of a person." — Inspired Zawadi Eaton
