In a world that constantly demands our attention, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, lost, or even uncertain about the path ahead.

At Je Mérite, I Deserve, we believe that everyone deserves the gift of guidance—whether it’s a whisper from within or a nudge from the universe.

Guidance is not just about finding direction; it’s about embracing the journey with confidence and clarity.

 

This week's affirmation is…

I Deserve Guidance

 

It’s important to remember that seeking guidance is not about having all the answers. It’s about allowing yourself to be a work in progress.

We all deserve the grace to navigate life’s uncertainties with compassion and patience.

Trust that the guidance you seek will come in its own time and form.

While inner guidance is crucial, the external world also offers signs and signals that can lead us in the right direction.

Sometimes, guidance comes through the people we meet, the books we read, or even the challenges we face.

These experiences, both big and small, shape our journey and provide lessons that help us grow.

 

"Teachers help us in being who we become in life. Teachers have always been there to assist us in making the right decisions. Teachers help us differentiate right from wrong without judging us. When you are struggling in life, you don’t need to be alone. If you have some great teachers, you can always seek guidance from them."
