Choosing to Stand



It's not a surprise to me that one of my greatest life lessons has to do with internal power. I know that my purpose is to teach and guide others to be in their power. Yet I am aware that there are places in my life where I have given away my power to others.


Recently, I have become aware of one of these learning opportunities. That's the first success - being aware of what I have given away and to whom.


I am also aware of why I have given my power away. I see the roots of the tree clearly. I accepted that this is what is true right now. This is my second success - accepting what the current situation is, owning it and being responsible for it. Every situation takes my participation - I did have emotions that came up and my practice is to see that this is just a circumstance, a happening. My emotions do not need to define my next steps and it would be well if they didn't.


From a place of knowledge and awareness, I can now choose to create change from this place. This is my third success - knowing in myself that I have the power to create change in my life.


These are the steps to standing in my power. Now, I get to decide, moment to moment, what I want. These are also the steps for all humans to stand in their power.


The real question for me now is "How can I stand in my power and have more joy, peace and prosperity in my life?" I deserve all of this...and even more.


You deserve all of this too. You deserve to be at the helm of your life from a place of joy, peace and prosperity. And my purpose is to live the learning - here's me, walking the talk.
