The Power of You
2009-01-09
You have within you this incredible power, the power to create for yourself a good life, or a great life, the power to be average or great. You have within you the power to change your world in an instant.
How many people do you know that have waited their whole lives to be happy? How many of them are still waiting? Are you still waiting?
So many people get caught up in the waiting game, not able to do anything because they are waiting for the right partner, waiting for the right job, waiting for the right opportunity, waiting for the right amount of money in the bank, waiting for better health. You literally put so much pressure or weight on relying on things outside yourself, that you find yourself stuck, weighed down or in paralysis doing nothing other than waiting. Its here in this state or during a crisis in our life when we realize that our behavior is not working for us, that we ask “Who am I, what do I really want?
How much time have you lost? How much time are you still losing by sitting back and waiting? Isn’t it time to stop waiting.
By waiting for things outside of yourself to change you are literally giving them power over you, whether it’s a person, a situation or a desire. You are saying I will give you my power in order for you to guarantee that I stay stuck where I am, wishing that things are different. Worse still this behavior keeps you focusing on the lack of. And we all know that what you focus on you will receive. It’s the law of the universe.
Waiting is usually really a cover for fear, doubt, uncertainty and not taking responsibility for your own life. Maybe you want someone else to do it for you, so you can then blame them if it’s not to your liking. Remember that if you point the finger to blame you actually have three pointing back at you. But what if you stepped into your own power right now reclaimed your energy, your spirit and decided it’s now time to take control of your world. Time for you to be, do, and have all your desire.
Is this what you want? Are you ready to step into your Power? Are you ready to own your Power and be the Best you can be? Is that a Yes I hear? Go on say it again. Yes!
Now what comes to mind as you read the next sentence? If you want things to change you must first be the change. Mmm we don’t really like that do we? Sounds to much like hard work. Well you know what? Change has no meaning other than the meaning we give it. Actually nothing does, rain is rain, to a bride it could ruin her big day, to a farmer it’s a reason to celebrate. Either way it’s still rain. Change to me is exciting, it means something new. We all like new things, a new house, new car, new clothes, so why fear the new. Remember what you fear the most offers you the most, you just need to take that step forward with faith.
Your new and amazing life awaits you, and the doors will open the moment you change your mind.
You have within you the power to literally change your world in an instant. You just need to learn how to tap into the enormity of yourself and that starts as easily as deciding to. The mind is an incredible tool. When I teach about the mind I talk of the conscious mind being a general and the unconscious mind being soldiers. Now we all know that whatever the one general says the millions of soldiers always do. They are designed to only follow orders whether they agree or not they just follow orders. So when you, the General or conscious mind says I can’t do this or I never get what I want, how come everyone else does, or, oh I’m too sick etc etc etc. Your unconscious mind the soldiers immediately say “Yes Sir” and go into immediate action to radiate the energy to create for you, that which you have ordered. Whatever you say, whatever you believe, whatever you think will continue to be true for you.
What you must first do is free yourself of all past issues and experiences that no-longer serve you. The way you view and have handled the events of your past has contributed to the creation of your today, however it’s what you do and think today that will create your tomorrow. That is the Power of You. Be aware of your sabotaging thoughts, change your mind, be aware and grateful for the wonderful things you already have in your life and believe that you deserve more, focusing only on what you do want. It’s very important to express these things always in the present tense for example I easily attract abundance in all areas of my life, rather than the words will or going to because this is like tomorrow, it never comes. Committing to this means taking action, you know you have to be in it to win it, I’ve still not met anyone who had a bag of cash land on their lap while meditating. The conscious creation article in this issue gives you a process which can assist you in finding clarity on what it is you want and taking action.
When you finally commit yourself to making simple changes and start tapping into your power, you will notice that everything changes around you, not only do you personally feel better and more positive but you suddenly seem to attract more positive outcomes and people to you. You find yourself more often than not surrounded by teachers, mentors, books, and sign’s all nudging you in the right direction towards your goal. As they say when the student is ready the teacher appears.
Once this begins, once you have had a taste of the power of you, you won’t want to settle for anything less. However it is the desire of the ego, the conscious mind to try and keep things the same, to sometimes sabotage your efforts. This is your first test. Here you need the courage to look honestly at the victim in you, how the victim plays and decide that you want more, deserve more and decide to move forward, turning it into your ally. You will also need to open your heart, learn to love yourself more and recognize when you are sabotaging, selling yourself short, and love yourself enough to turn this old behavior that no longer serves you into a positive. Above all learn to use your intellect to work with your saboteur helping you to recognize the warning signs and keep you on track. From now on you decide how long you will allow yourself to stay in that dark space and how much of your power you will lose.
When you get caught up in a negative thought process you tend to slouch forward, falling even deeper into the dark zone, your breathing becomes shallow providing less oxygen to the brain and plummeting you even further again. Take a moment to think about something you really want, as you do this you will notice your head is raised, that’s because what you want is up high not down low. If you want it you must step up to that level, raise your vibration to the same level that it lives in order for it to be yours.
Changing your state is as easy as easy as changing your mind, however if you find yourself to deeply entrenched in a negative thought and unable to easily change your thoughts or emotional view point simply straighten up, this immediately makes you take a deep breath in. Now move, if you’re standing take a walk or a step into another space, if you’re sitting move to another seat even if it’s the next one along.
It’s up to you, you can stay where you’re at or you can step into your power.
If you want to step into your power try the following exercise, It’s one I like to use at the end of personal sessions with my clients to really empower them.
Stand and notice a circle in front of you, this circle can be any colour you want it to be, really see that circle and colour and then allow all the colours of the universe to start to filter in swirling around and around. This is your own personal circle. Visualize all the positive tools and resources you want and need filling this space, for instance all the confidence, strength, courage, and love you need. Add good health, abundance, prosperity, happiness, the ability to achieve all your heart desires etc etc etc. Now intensify those things making them 10, 20, 50 times stronger and when you feel they are as intense as you would like, step into your circle and breath in all of those wonderful resources allowing them to become one with each and every cell in your body, really feeling them. Step backwards out of that space shake them off, intensify again and repeat. Then finally step forward notice that those energies are with and will never leave you. All you need to do to enhance them at any point in the future is see your circle step in, breath in all those wonderful feelings and know that you have everything you need within you.
This is the Power of You.
