Princess Victorious

You are being asked to be a “big picture person” for the moment. Sometimes immediate gratification has to give way for a grander scheme unfolding, which will ultimately lead you to far greater and more meaningful success. What seems to be a delay, obstacle, loss or even failure now is a twist in the plot of your life, necessary for your gracious destiny unfolding according to a higher plan.

It can be hard to keep the faith when you’ve been defeated just one too many times. It is easy to make fear and doubt mean something they don’t; it’s usually something like being doomed to fail and so we might as well give up. However, fear and doubt are just symptoms of fatigue. They are signs that we are feeling battle weary when it comes to life.

To overcome weariness and create happiness, you are being asked to temporarily surrender your need to win-just for now. Instead, you are guided to step back, regroup, replenish, be kind to yourself and know this: sometimes you have to be willing to lose the battle to win the war. That means being willing to go through things in the short term that might seem like failure without losing confidence, courage and trust that everything is going to go your way in the long term.

The oracle of Princess Victorius encourages you to know that you are strong and determined enough to bounce back and overcome difficult circumstances. You will be given the power to succeed at the right time and in the best way for all concerned.

For now, an apparent delay, failure, loos, or change of course is really a saving grace. In time, with a broader perspective, you’ll look back and be grateful for not getting what you thought you wanted, in the way you thought you wanted it, because what will come to you eventually will be so superior in every way.

So give in to how your journey is unfolding-even is it seems like you are losing when you’d rather be winning-but don’t give up hope. Trust that the universe is strategic. It is helping you to succeed. It knows that the things that don’t work out now can help you move towards the things that will work for you in the long term. If you need a sign to know that things are going to work out for the best, even if it seems like they are falling apart along the way, then this is it.

Healing Trick:

To help you take the wisdom offered and put it to best use in your life now, do this healing trick to clear obstacles to putting this guidance into place.

Start by standing up and saying aloud: “Any perceived failures cease to have power over me. I release all judgment, fear and doubt about my future success. Victory will be mine! Victory will be mine! Victory will be mine! I cut the cords to anything other than my soul’s success!”

Now you are going to pretend to be a karate expert, and you are going to karate chop through any invisible cords of connection. Those invisible cords might be unintentionally connecting you to past memories, fears about the future and people who don’t believe in themselves (and therefore find it hard to believe in anyone else). Those connections can drain your energy and make it harder for you to believe in your own inevitable and ultimate success. You don’t need that anymore!

Using swift cutting motions with the side of your hands, like a knife, sweep down in front of your body, behind you and all around you. If you want to add some impressive martial arts-like sounds while you chop, perhaps something like “KEEEEE-YAAAA!”, then feel free to do so.

Once you have karate chopped enough, say this aloud three times: “The  universe leads me to victory now, in the perfect time, and the perfect way! I am victorious! I am victorious! I am victorious! Woohoo!”

It will now be the perfect time to do a victory dance. This is like your modern-day version of a rain dance, only it is calling in sunny skies, sweet success and all good things into your life. Can you feel the happiness of the good that’s going to be? Feel it now as you swing your hips and enthusiastically wave your arms in the air.

If you want to chant/sing/rap/yell, “I am the Princess/Prince of Victory,” while doing your victory dance, all the better.

You have completed your healing trick.

Affirmation:

Say the following affirmation aloud to boost the power of this message and to integrate it into your body, mind and soul. You can say it morning and/or evening for a few days, or even a few months if that feels right for you, or just at the end of your healing trick.

“Victory is mine,

In perfect time divine!

Victory is mine!”
