I Have The Power

I HAVE THE POWER

The power to choose where I place my attention.
The power to decide which conversations I’ll engage in.
The power to take time out when I need it.
The power to stop expecting myself and others to behave so perfectly.
The power to think more positive thoughts, speak more supportive words
and to give unconditionally from my heart,
because it is who I intend to be.

What To Do If Someone Hurts Or Disrespects You

QUESTION: What do you do if someone hurts or disrespects you?

ANSWER: You think about it in a different way!

  • Whenever I decide to feel HONOURED, APPRECIATED and RESPECTED … the evidence that I am, shows itself to me.
  • Whenever I decide to feel LOVED, CHERISHED and ADORED the evidence that I am, shows itself to me.
  • Whenever I decide to feel SUCCESSFUL, PROSPEROUS and FREE the evidence that I am, shows itself to me.
  • Whenever I decide to feel any way I want, life proves me to be right. We have all been given that power … the power to consciously choose how we want to feel and to deliberately focus our attention in that direction!

NOTHING NEEDS TO BE THE WAY YOU CURRENTLY “THINK” IT IS: You can think anything into a different place and attract an entirely different outcome. But make sure you do the majority of your “thinking” while you’re feeling good.

A PERSONAL STORY: For the first 40 or so years of my life I was convinced my father hated me. He was really hard on me, we fought a lot and he seemed to spend more time finding fault that giving praise. But while watching a video of a Tony Robbins Live Seminar one day, my entire outlook shifted in an instant. Tony asked the person, “What if your father did those things because he loved you?” BOOM! This was a concept I’d never considered before and it truly, wonderfully, magically changed my life and my relationship with my father overnight. And the timing was perfect. I was able to spend some much needed quality time with him just before he died. That experience was priceless and well worth the wait.

It was the first time I remember having “real power” in my life. I was convinced it was HIM who needed to change. Now I know for sure that it’s me — even when I think it’s not up to me, it is — it’s always me!

It’s All About ME!

With so much love,

I Live Life On My Terms

I LIVE LIFE ON MY TERMS … in a state of eternal freedom, never to allow the constraints, judgments or expectations of others, limit who I know myself to be.
I NEVER aim for less than what I truly desire.
I GIVE what I want, when I want, to whoever I want, as often as I want and I’m open to receive as well.
I tell the TRUTH to myself no matter how much I think it might hurt.
I search for the POSITIVE ASPECTS in everything.
I ACCEPT we are all doing the very best we can, no matter what crazy behaviours we sometimes demonstrate.
I WON’T pretend to be less than the incredible person I know I am just so someone else can feel better.
I ADORE myself, but if others don’t, that’s OK too.
I’m open to find HAPPINESS, ECSTASY and BLISS in as many places as I can.
I APPRECIATE everything I’ve already been given … even if I might not understand its’ benefits at the time.
I’m THANKFUL for what I’m about to receive.
I choose to find something to LAUGH about every day.
I DO whatever it takes to be true to ‘who I really am’.
I IMAGINE myself living the most enchanting life and allow the universe to orchestrate the finer details.
I can EXPERIENCE the darkest despair and then rise from the ashes and know my higher self is always shining a light for me.
I LOVE unconditionally, without expecting anything in return.
I find as many reasons as possible to PRAISE myself and others.
I intend to be an UPLIFTING influence in the lives of those I touch.
I look for the MAGNIFICENCE in nature and the BEAUTY in people all around me.
I KNOW my birthright is to be whole, healthy and wealthy.
I FEEL my deepest passions and follow them with gentle persistence.
I LISTEN to the calling of my soul and surrender to it completely. ~ (Confession #499)

I’m A Creator

I’M A CREATOR … I don’t complain about my reality – I create it by pretending things are slightly better than they seem to be, by imagining a brighter tomorrow, by faking it ’till I make it and by having such a strong belief in what’s possible, that it can do nothing else but become real.

 

I Laugh At Problems Now

I REALLY DO LAUGH AT PROBLEMS NOW … Years ago we were taught that we should work on our issues, that we had to get to the bottom of it all before we could really let something go.

Ha ha ha ha ha aha ha ha ha … oh wow, that was hard work and oh how guilty I felt for most of my life.

But underneath, I always knew life was meant to be easier than that! So these days I quietly acknowledge the issue then just give it all to God/The Universe to handle for me. When I’m in that trusting state I can relax again, I can laugh at it all, and the solutions just come, it all happens easily, and most often when I’m focused on something completely different.

Elizabeth xox

P.S. I used to call them MY problems as if I owned them. You might notice people refer to things such as MY cancer, MY disabilities, MY worries etc. Lately I’ve found it really empowering to soften the effect and lessen the vibrational impact on my psyche, by just calling them simply “problems”. This is working extremely well and I’m so pleased I made the change.

Sit Back And Enjoy The Ride

CONFESSION #102 … I KNOW HOW TO GET WHAT I WANT

Some people take action, some use visualization,
some people pray, some just don’t know any way.
But for me, I relax and I flow with the stream,
and have faith that what’s happening will show me my dream.

But my dream isn’t a bigger house,
or to have more success,
it isn’t money or love or even to do my best.
It’s simply to comprehend fully, how MUCH I’ve already been blessed.

(I’ve set the wheels in motion, now it’s time to sit back and enjoy the ride.)

Decisions That Changed My Life

I DECIDED THAT THINGS COULD BE EASIER … so I chilled out a little more.
I decided I wanted more love in my life, so I GAVE a little more.
I decided today is the perfect time, to change my point of view,
and to appreciate what I have right now as if it’s all brand new.

I DECIDED THERE WERE THINGS THAT I WANT that I believed I just couldn’t have.
Then I decided I shouldn’t want them, ’cause it made me feel really bad.
But wanting them wasn’t the problem, into my heart they’d already been thrust,
so I found the faith to remember, all I need to do is trust.

I DECIDED TO TRUST MY FEELINGS … and let them guide me through the day,
I decided that if something feels good to me, if it calls me out to play …
if it lights up my life and opens my mind, there’s nothing more I need from above,
my bright energy attracts all I could possibly want, my heart leads me back to love.

BUT SOMETIMES I JUST DON’T FEEL ANY GOOD … and it seems nothing I do or say,
can find the connection I once enjoyed, peace seems oh so far away.
It’s times like these I need to relax, to let go, to do my best,
and hand it over to “the universe” to fix up all the rest.

SO NOW I JUST NEED TO REMEMBER … there IS something I CAN do,
to make my days go better and to uplift someone elses too …
I can decide to make peace with whatever’s happening, to find the heaven contained in hell,
no matter what seems to be going wrong, remember we are loved and all is well.

You Are Perfect Just The Way You Are

I’M NOT HERE TO FIX YOU

I know you are perfect just the way you are, that you are completely worthy and no longer need to prove it, that you are loved and appreciated more than you will ever know,

and when I give you space to decide what’s right for you, when I trust you’re receiving your own guidance too, when I accept your uniqueness is what makes life sublime, you’ll find your own way too, just as I found mine.

~ an excerpt from 500 Confessions (CONFESSION #326)

I Change My Attitude First

THE WAY OTHER PEOPLE AROUND ME ARE BEHAVING
… is often an indication of how I’m really feeling inside.

Before I change anything else, I change my attitude towards them,
what I’ve been thinking about them and how I’ve been talking about them.

Before I decide that they are the problem,
I decide that I WILL BE THE SOLUTION.

~ from the author of 500confessions.com

I Decide What I Focus On

I STOP GOOD THINGS FROM HAPPENING … every time I feel disappointed that I haven’t yet got what I want!
I START MORE GOOD THING HAPPENING … in the moment I feel appreciation for what I’ve already been given.

I DECIDE what I focus my attention on.
I DECIDE the direction my mood swings.
I DECIDE my responses to situations.
I DECIDE the quality of my life.

The Universe Is On My Side

If you don’t think the Universe is conspiring to assist us all, then you forgot to watch the sun come up, without anyone needing to pay for it, making a business plan to get it, setting an intention about it, consciously asking for it, praying over it or begging for it.

Nature always adapts, bodies heal, lives transform, people help each other – heck, if you smiled at someone today, in that very moment, YOU assisted the world more than you probably give yourself credit for.

I Don’t Make Promises

CONFESSION # 15

I DON’T MAKE PROMISES

A promise is a pledge we make in an “attempt” to repair a mistake we made in the past, to keep what we have in the present the same way forever, or to make the future more predictable.

Promises we make to other people just to keep them happy or make them feel more secure, are unsustainable, unwise and generally untruthful.

The best promise I can ever make is that I will do my best to remain true to myself.
