Self Empowerment – Creating Your Best Life

“Life is what you make of it…”  That is a well known older saying. Which has recently resurfaced in my own mind and thoughts.

So I ask you this question: are you creating a life that is pleasing to you?  One that resonates with your heartfelt desires and goals?  One that is fulfilling the primal longing of your soul?

Sometimes we get caught up solely in the energy of challenges and obstacles — all forms of negativity. Downtrodden thoughts that bring us into feelings of powerlessness.

It is sadly the human condition to focus upon these aspects that are difficult as opposed to the beautiful aspect of life — our free will and our amazing ability to be able to make our own choices and decisions.

We have the remarkable power to design our lives to reflect the best and Highest versions of ourselves. It is just that most of us don’t truly get that — or don’t believe it.  Or have no clue how to go about it.

Look back on those times that you have been strong, successful and fulfilled — even if those times were brief.  There is no doubt that you have had experiences where you fully realized your own potential and inner strength. But then, instead of holding on to that knowing, you became adrift in the busy stream of life, forgetting how to tune in to your inner guidance, your core essence. You lost that Divine connection to your soul, your Higher consciousness or whatever you wish to call it.

Your physical vehicle (your being) needs to do the work of navigating life here on Planet Earth to have your most joyful, abundant and enriching experience. Part of this is to take care of YOU and realize the powerful creation abilities that you have. A second part is to understand our soulful connection in Oneness — and to have deep compassion for others and all of Life.

This realization is never easy.  It requires steadfast energetic movement along your path in a most positive, uplifting way.  Some general suggestions include:

1) Meditation
2) Positive living resources — affirmations, self-empowerment teachings, spiritual and personal development books
3) Holistic modalities such as Reiki and the like
4) Immersing yourself in nature and the natural world
5) Consistent time with family and friends and a continuous widening of your Circle of connectedness
6) Events that empower and inspire
7) Life coaching or something similar
8) Religious/spiritual practices that truly resonate with you

Most significantly, will you “awaken”  (yes, a very popular term these days) to the multidimensional, complex being that you are at your core essence? You are not some stick figure puppet meandering around our planet aimlessly and in isolation — though sometimes you may feel that way.

Though you are undeniably unique — you have a radiant connection to others.  So truly let yourself enhance and appreciate that — not wallow in the state of separation. For I firmly believe that understanding and embracing our interconnection is essential, and actually complements and enhances our uniqueness and individuality.

Your life will be exactly what you make of it.  Choose to take those steps — one thought at a time if need be — that will bring you the reality of a life that is pleasing and joyful to you.  A life you are passionate about living.
