Road Least Travelled - A journey of the Soul

Zhang Su Li

After half a lifetime travelling around the world on roads less travelled I decided to go on the ultimate journey - on the road least travelled, a journey inward. The most fascinating journey is one of the soul. And I just want to share with you what I've learnt along the way. If you've been to places where even angels fear to tread, you're on the right channel!

    S2 E14. Why counting your blessings doesn't always work.

    People who tell you to be grateful when you’re unhappy are more harmful than helpful. They are making you even more unhappy, and making you feel guilty for feeling ungrateful. Don't listen to people who have no idea what you are going through. Don't force yourself to be grateful. Instead, feel your pain, feel your suffering, feel your sadness. Don't skip that and go straight to feeling grateful. Don't count your blessings when you are not ready. Gratitude is not something you do, or something that can be forced. That's fake gratitude that doesn't last. Real gratitude comes only when you heal yourself, or when you are on a spiritual journey of healing. If you rely on counting your blessings or think about all the things to be grateful for, it doesn't necessarily last. No external comfort, or circumstance can make you grateful for long. It’s temporary. To be happy, and to love yourself, stop listening to others, and listen to yourself. Listen to your body. If you’re in pain, feel it. If you’re suffering, feel it. If you're sad, feel it. Don’t listen to toxic positivity from people who have no idea what you are going through. Healing can only happen if you face all the demons and banish them from your life. Then gratitude comes easily.

    S2 E12. Someone is making their way back to you.

    Website YouTube If you'd like to support my channel Letters to my goddaughter I've been asked many times, how do we love ourselves? What does self love feel like? I went through a very long and hard journey, a lot of self reflection and deep questioning. And I want to tell you that you don't have to re-tramatize yourself over and over or go through the same abuse from different people again and again. You don't have to beat yourself up or re-live past trauma in order to understand what you went through. However, you still have to revisit your past to acknowledge it, feel it, learn not to judge it, and then let it go. Otherwise, trauma will stay stuck in your body and history will repeat itself. You will be stuck in the same cycle of abuse. Same scenario, only different people. Abuse lives in a toxic environment. Even if you cut the tumour out, the environment will create new tumours. It's extremely hard to learn to love yourself in a toxic environment. So you have to change your environment in the physical world as well as internally and spiritually. You can leave a toxic environment and create a new life for yourself in an instant if you have a genuine desire to, the determination and courage to see it through. You will lose friends and family who do not want the dynamic to change, who want the same familiar patterns of behaviour no matter how toxic and limiting. They want you to stay in the role they are most comfortable with. Your evolution and personal growth will unsettle them. It will trigger them by shedding light on their demons. It will stir up their fears, insecurities, and make them even more resistant to change. You are doing nothing wrong. It is not selfish or arrogant. Stay true to your path, honour your growth. Be proud of your own authenticity. It's a lonely journey, do not give up, because there is much to gain by losing.

    S2 E7. Vultures celebrate scapegoat's departure

    Website Letters to my goddaughter If you'd like to buy me a coffee You’ve suffered for most of your life as a scapegoat. You stuck with them, you were loyal, you tried so hard to help them, tried so hard to have a healthy relationship with them. Tried so hard to protect them from each other. Don’t you deserve at least some financial compensation? Some considerations of staying in a toxic and dysfunctional family versus leaving for good: If you stay because you deserve your share of the pie, you’ll have to play their dysfunctional game. You’ll have to outsmart the dysfunctional people. Can you? Are you willing to invest more time and energy into this toxic dysfunction? Are you strong enough to play a game on their turf, by their rules? The flying monkeys and enablers are on the side of the abusers. They are following the money. They will never support you. If you leave, you have to be extremely focused on your healing, on those who do love you, focus on raising your spiritual vibration to an even higher level. So that you can shift your reality to a better one. So you can attract better people and life circumstances. Either scenario is possible, but both are difficult. Which would you choose? If you’ve tried your best, and they continue to ostracize you, don’t see it as losing something, see it as the universe pushing you out of a morally bankrupt environment. Scapegoats have two choices - die or fly. Is the possibility of losing your inheritance worth your mental, spiritual and physical health?
