Today, You are a New You

What are you bringing into your life today? What are you drawing toward you with your focus, intention, and emotional state? What are you creating in your immediate future?

Everyday, we are building our stories. Everyday, we are attracting and manifesting the things we focus on, and intend, and feel. Everyday, whether we want to or not, whether we believe it or not, whether we make an effort to do so or let it happen passively, we are creating our lives.

The present we are experiencing today is the result of what we have been making up to this point. Everything you see in your world is the result of your focus and intention in all the days before now. Most likely you have (as most of us) spent the majority of your life in ignorance of this fact, and therefore, have witnessed a lot of your life with wonder and confusion, not realizing from where it has all come.

But today?  Today you know what you are bringing toward you. (And if not, then I am here to tell you.) Today you are being given the opportunity to focus on, intend, and delight in realizing the life you know is right for you. 

It exists already inside you. You feel it and know it as if it were your own hand. You always have.  

You've just been too afraid to believe it.You've just been duped by the naysayers preaching into your ear since you were born. You've just been deceived about who and what you are, and what you are capable of doing, and how life works. You've been lied to. And now, today, you are in the right place and time to say, "No more lies."

You can be who you are now. You can do what you dream now. You can have your life now. You simply have to believe it. And know it. And feel it in your bones that you are your most magnificent you. You are the creator of your life. 

When you believe that – as a beyond-any-shadow-of-a-doubt belief – then, and only then, will you begin to see it. Look where you are and realize that it is all the result of what you have believed until now. And recognize that if you want to see something different, you will have to change what you believe. 

Today is when you begin to believe in what you will see next. SO get busy, you've got some focussing, and intending, and feeling good about your life that you've got to get to. Your time is now!

Be well.

Synchronic Messaging Service Presents...

Just noticed in my inbox this delicious little reminder about owning our power, and taking responsibility for every aspect of our own lives. It came to me via a "Daily Quotes" email from Abraham, which is one of the few daily emails I can tolerate. Abraham often helps to frame my day in a potent way. Thought I'd share this one with you today, since it is timely. I'll be bringing more gorgeous little tidbits from there on occasion in the future.

               Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the
               hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing.
               Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will 

               not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel -- and then, you'll 

               love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because 

               you're using them as your excuse to not feel good.

                                                                                                               --- Abraham

I hope you have a potent day of recognizing your strength and enjoying your power.

Who Controls You?

Are you a puppet? No offense, but seriously, is someone controlling you? Is someone conjuring your life and making you play along? Is someone else writing you in as the unwitting character of your own story?

Well, I'm hoping that by the last one of those questions, you were shouting a resounding, "Noooo!" But put more subtly, I wonder if you might find yourself frighteningly less disagreeable. What I mean is, you may be willing to resist being called a puppet, or being outright controlled by another, but are you giving away your power in other less obvious situations? 

Here's a good way to check – answer these few questions:

• How did your life get the way it is?
• How did you get to be the way you are?
• How did you arrive at your current financial state?
• If things aren't the way you'd like, how do/will they change?

If you responded to any of the above questions with any answer other than, "By my choice and intention" or a variation thereof, then you are giving away your power. 

How, and to what degree, we take responsibility for our lives and what is showing up in them right now, are fantastic indicators of how much power we currently have. If we are aware that we are responsible for everything, then we are already more powerful. If we own that responsibility and make it our motivation – well then, our power becomes immeasurable.

A place to begin taking more responsibility in your life is by refusing to ever play the victim again. 

I don't mean become a bully, take self-defense classes, or increase your vibrato in adversarial scenarios. I mean stop blaming anyone else for anything that happens to you. Stop saying that the universe doesn't want you to have something. Stop saying that you "can't" because of someone else. Stop pointing the finger at coworkers, bosses, spouse, lovers, friends, kids, or strangers. Don't let them have that power over you. 

Take that power back! Own every aspect of your creation. Delight in the surprises that you have made for yourself. Revel in the opportunities for growth, and exploration, and change. Savor the many chances to bite the dust on your own volition, by virtue of your own power, and at the end of your own choices.

Sounds hard, but you begin with one choice. Make the one choice to own your power. And then, just don't stop using your ability to chose, recognizing that your life is all your choice.

Be well, powerful choosers.

Building the Super You: Recognizing Your Limitlessness

Ever thought of yourself as infinite before? How about all-knowing or all-powerful? Ever felt like you could make magic, heal sickness, or fly? What about when you were a kid?

Here's one of the many places where I think kids have got life figured out more than adults. They still have a grasp on the limitless power we humans have at our whim. Unfortunately, most children are raised by adults into "knowing better", and eventually forget just how incredibly capable they are. By the time they are adults, the concept of having anything more than average abilities has generally been coaxed or crushed out of them, like all the rest of us "grown-ups" – or more appropriately "ground-downs".

But we don't have to be worn out, mediocre yo-yos, lurched and jerked around helplessly by our circumstances. We don't have to be victims. And we don't have to be insignificant, either.

Coursing through each and every one of us is some of the most potent energy in the universe. If you could harness the human will, you could light every house on Earth. And if you could fill the sails of human potential, you could ride them to the other side of the cosmos (and back!).

What I mean to say is that we are powerful – each and every one of us. And so much so that we are even able to keep ourselves ignorant of our potency while simultaneously creating every aspect of our existence. We are even so powerful that we live whole lives here, manufacturing every moment we experience, and still die without knowing who or what we are. It takes a hell of a lot of magic to manifest a whole lifetime without ever letting on – even to yourself.

Still doubting that you're an all-powerful, all-knowing cosmic creator? Well check out some of these links to human "miracles" to remind yourself of just what we are all capable, and doing:

• 1994 study that concludes the "placebo effect" often accounts for more than 1/3 of all positive reactions to treatment of any kind in which both practitioner and patient believe
• Urban legend of Supermom lifting a car
• One of many spontaneous remission of cancer stories
• "When Fear makes us Superhuman"
• The Yogi who Lived without Food or Water
• And other People with Abilities Beyond Belief

After you've had enough of that, check out the documentary What If? the Movie for a full-on celebration of our human potential. You'll be amazed and inspired by what "ordinary" humans are doing.

The bottom line here is this: there is more to you than you have yet dared to believe. You are moving mountains everyday, you just haven't stopped long enough (yet) to notice what you're doing or able to do. So let me encourage you to look into what's possible, and then to dust off that beautiful imagination of yours and get serious about unleashing some of the potential you've been hoarding for so long.

Believe me, you aren't the only one who will benefit when you decide to own your power.

Be well.
