At the core of your being you possess all the strength, courage and wisdom you need to consciously create the life and work you love.  If you do not have joy in every area of your life, then you are not fully standing in the light of your true power.

Being truly empowered is about making a decision to have fun and enjoy life not endure it.  This is not to advocate being lightweight, but to be light-hearted and joyful. It is about taking full responsibility for your choices and being willing to know yourself very differently indeed.

Are you ready to move beyond your beliefs? Beliefs keep people in limitation.  What you believe creates the reality you experience, for energy follows thought.  Do you believe it is possible to live joyfully in all areas of your life? If not, why not?  Where do those beliefs come from? Are they your own or inherited from family, peers or absorbed from mass consciousness generally?  Do you believe it is possible to create abundance and financial prosperity for yourself?  Again, if not, why not?  Abundance is just energy. It is just as easy to create an abundance of lack as it is to create a wealth of abundance because consciousness directs energy. Observe your thoughts and feelings for a few weeks and  see what you create.  If you are thinking about lack, are worrying about money; believe you are at the mercy of external events and / or staying in the company of people who hold similar views, you will indeed effortlessly create an abundance of lack.  Poverty consciousness is created and sustained in this way.

Intention gets energy moving. You can be truly empowered if you choose to be so, regardless of the nature of external circumstances. This may sound impossible for people currently experiencing loss or pain in any form.  It is not. Naturally, there are times of hurt, which can feel joyless.  However, the choice remains to either process and transcend pain through acceptance and learning or remain enthralled to victimhood.  Neither is wrong, it is merely choice.

How do you choose to be?
