What is your reality?
- Do you believe in a scary world?
- Do you feel there is only so much to go around, so you must take what you can before someone else gets it?
- Are you afraid to get your hopes up by believing in your dreams, fearing you might be disappointed in the end?
- Do you manipulate and control to earn approval, recognition, respect or power?
- Do you blame others for things gone wrong in your marriage, family, job and life?
These are just a few of the ways we try to dominate our world, performing for approval, denying our authentic emotions, all the while trying to stay in “control”.
In domination, we can never be happy because we believe happiness is something outside of us. We tell ourselves, “When I have this much money, someone to love me, or the better job, then I’ll be happy“. You may achieve those things, but as you have probably learned from the past, you soon find yourself wishing for the next mirage to make you happy again.
True happiness comes from INSIDE of you. It’s a choice. Everything outside of you (what you see through your eyes) is an “illusion” or a direct reflection of what is going on within you.
Think about it.
What you see in your (outside) world is just feedback for what’s going on within you. When you understand that your physical reality is just a reflection of what’s going on inside, you are able to turn within to your true source of power: your thoughts, desires, beliefs, authentic emotions and choices.
YOU are the author of your life. You are not a victim of anything. True responsibility and freedom is in knowing that YOU create your reality. And in that knowing, the world doesn’t seem so scary anymore. Now, that’s true power!
When you take complete responsibility for what’s going on around you, the results are incredible freedom, fun, love and joy!

Take Action Now! The first step to living an authentic life is to recognize how you are giving your power away to the illusion. Begin to slow things down enough to notice when you are trying to perform, control or manipulate. Notice, also, when you give your power away by blaming others for your circumstances or by comparing yourself to others. Feel the impact this has on you. Feel the pain, the limits, the frustration, the confusion and the loss. Feel the fear of not being “enough”. Forgive yourself. When you begin to awaken to the truth of how you have sabotaged your true happiness it is easy to fall into a pattern of anger, frustration or pity. This will not help your progress. Remember, you are learning. Forgiveness is key. You are awakening. As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts about this article and anything else on your mind. Come on over to my blog! |
