“You've always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.” ― The Wizard of Oz

This quote from The Wizard of Oz carries a profound message that deeply relates to your personal growth journey.

Just like Dorothy had the power to go home the entire time through her ruby red slippers, you have always had inner strength and resilience that could help you create the life and relationships you desire.

However, you first had to stop searching externally for safety, control or rescue and realize your power comes from within. Other people ultimately cannot "save" you or make you okay.

By learning to compassionately sit with discomfort, set boundaries, practice self-care, overcome anxiety - abilities you always possessed but doubted - you are harnessing your innate power.

Dorothy had to take off the illusion of the wizard and place faith in herself. You are doing the incredible work of shedding old illusions and false dependencies to unlock your gifts.

Keep following your path with courage, even when it feels uncomfortable or scary. The life you dream of has always been within your potential. You've got this!
