It’s Already in You
One of my favorite quotes is this:
“We shall not cease from exploration;
And the end of all our exploring,
Will be to arrive where we started,
And know the place for the first time.”— T.S. Eliot
To me, that last line reads more as: “know ourselves for the first time.”
This is the meaning of Cove’s mantra: “It’s already in you.”
The work is not to go out and find “it,” nor to create an identity, but to peel back everything that stands in the way of our innate power. Exploration—our journey—is how we do that. We say “trust the process” because the process is always divinely designed. It’s precisely calibrated to our soul’s unique growth, paired with just enough pressure to awaken the light within us that’s been waiting to be remembered.
Know this: as you walk your path, navigate your struggles, develop new skills, and sharpen your wisdom, you’re not becoming something new—you’re remembering who you are. You already carry within you the power and wholeness you seek outside yourself.
Until you come to know that force within—and more importantly, learn how to wield it—you’ll keep searching. Searching for the next identity, the next relationship, the next achievement to make you feel complete. You’ll always reach for more: the “big break” you think will confirm you’ve “made it,” the bank account balance you think you need to feel secure, the person you think will bring the joy your life “lacks.”
That is the ego’s game: to endlessly search, but never find. It thrives on the illusion that fulfillment lies “out there.” That you need to become something to be worthy. But the deepest truth—the one that will change your life—is this:
What you seek is already in you.
The source of real success isn’t relentless effort—it’s alignment. That doesn’t mean sitting idle, waiting for life to happen. It means knowing that no amount of force or striving can manifest the most awe-inspiring, soul-aligned moments—those moments that make you say, “God did that.”
It’s great to have vision. It’s normal to have desire. These impulses are there to drive you closer to your purpose. But we must understand that we don’t know what would truly bring us the most peace.
What’s meant for you is already written, but it cannot find you if you're not in alignment with your highest self—the version of you that anchored in love, not fear. Presence, not performance. Power, not pressure.
What the universe has in store for you is greater than anything you could imagine for yourself. That’s why rejection is always redirection—an act of divine protection. Why would you want something that isn’t meant for you?
My hope for you is this:
That you allow divine order to unfold.
That you make space for aligned abundance, sacred timing, and serendipitous coincidences.
And when it happens, you’ll know. It will feel effortless.
That easeful success? That overwhelming sense of rightness? That’s your confirmation.
