You Are Always in Control of Your Life

… it is never in control of you.

The story of your life is always in the pen you are holding. But how many of us realize that?

No one has control over your life unless you give it to them. You are co-creating every experience you have. If you are not enjoying the experience, it is up to you to make another choice.

Although there is a destiny in place, you have free will and can write/rewrite any chapter you like. But many of us suffer through situations because we have given our power over to other people or situations to feel powerless and trapped. Know that feeling that way is a choice. If you have had an experience and decide that it does not work for you/does not make you happy, then make another choice and change the situation. Life will NOT change it for you. If you sit back and allow yourself to wallow in the pain and confusion, the universe reads that as your choice to do so.

Learn to own your power and learn to understand that when a situation or thought form is no longer working for you, it is up to you to create a new ending for yourself. You are the author of your life and you hold the pen, why would you give it to someone else to write your story? They do not know what you need to be happy so take back that pen and continue to write.

The choices you make in this moment ALWAYS determine your next experience. You are in control of your life, no one else is. Honor that and live it to the fullest, then you will see that what you thought was such a problem in your life was just a thought form waiting to be rewritten. Life is just that simple.

When Things Fall Apart

… it’s time to put them together in a new way.

Nothing ever lasts forever. NOTHING. Things only fall apart when it is time to create something new and something much better suited for you.

You can only hold onto what is not working for you for so long before the universe will take it away from you so that you can re-create a much better situation for yourself.

Sometimes we cannot see and understand what that better vision is for ourselves. We get trapped in believing that if something falls apart on us that we are somehow being punished and that we are victims trapped in the drama. Instead of making positive change, we end up dwelling in the sadness of the loss and the pain and confusion of the drama. Sometimes we stay there for a very long time mourning the past, but that is NOT where you are supposed to be.

The real work is in the understanding that you are never a victim of your life. You are always the master and when you can see and understand that things only fall apart to help you create a better vision for yourself, you will begin to understand how the universe works with you to help you to manifest your dreams.

You always have a choice. You can either sit on the ground and feel sorry for yourself for losing what was not working for you OR you can get busy excitedly putting together a new plan for yourself that will better fit your needs.

When you learn the simple laws of the universe, you begin to better understand your life. You begin to learn that when something falls apart, it is an indication that it WAS NOT WORKING ANYMORE and now you have a chance to find something that will work. When things fall apart, your work is to make your life better because of it. End of story. There really is no other choice involved. Get excited the next time your life falls apart.

When Disturbed By Disturbing Thoughts

… STOP and think the opposite.

Simple enough, right? But we NEVER think to do it.

As Patanjali says in the Yoga Sutra, “Vitarka Badhane Pratipaksha Bhavanam” – when disturbed by disturbing thoughts, stop and think the opposite. 

Everything is energy and where you put your energy is what you will get MORE of so it stands to reason that dwelling in negativity will NEVER bring about the positive outcome you desire.

Buying into a thought makes it REAL for you. So, if you do not want that thought in your life, DO NOT give it any attention. Simple as that. Thoughts are what create our reality. 

If you focus on what is upsetting you, you will only continue to perpetuate the upset. If you can learn to cultivate the opposite, you can create a much better reality for yourself as your thoughts always set you up for your next experience.

Life is a game and you are in control of your next move. Life is too short to perpetuate situations that do not work for you. So when disturbed by disturbing thoughts, stop and think the opposite. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will naturally change. A lifetime of happy thoughts and experiences await you. What are you waiting for?

Are You Open?

… you might not be.

Just because you want something, doesn’t mean you get it. You have to be OPEN to receiving it. You have to feel WORTHY of having it and you have to be a VIBRATIONAL MATCH to it before it can appear in your life. Getting what you want is a process. And until you gel with that process, what you want will always elude you.

Many of us do not have what we want in our lives because on some level we do not feel worthy of having it. Maybe we feel inadequate for that job promotion. Maybe we feel that the object of our affections is “out of our league.” Maybe we feel we do not have enough or the right education to do what we really want to do in life. Maybe, maybe, maybe…. but just maybe it’s all our maybes that are keeping us back from having everything we truly want. Maybe doesn’t guarantee success. By nature, it is littered with doubt. Telling yourself you might not get it, assures you never will. Being truly open means acknowledging that it is there for you and anxiously awaiting its arrival with a certainty that it is yours.

So remember, isolating what you want is the easy part. Now the real work begins. Before what you want can make it into your reality, you must be able to embody the energy of being truly open to it. In other words, knowing you are worthy of having it and allowing yourself to live in a space where excitement is bringing it to your door.

Is there something you want? Learn to be open to receiving it….

Know you are worth it.

Get excited about having it.

Never ponder the possibility of it not happening.

That way your work is done and it will most certainly be yours. Are you ready to receive what you truly want? Time to be open to it.

Focusing on Problems

… NEVER brings solutions.

Simply put…

The less you think of trouble, the less of it you get.

The more you think of things that please you, the better you will feel.

And the better you feel, the better things will go for you.

End of story. ‘Tis one of the spiritual laws of the universe.

But in our society, we love to dwell on the negative and more importantly we like to play the victim and wallow in states of self-pity. Somehow we find solace in misery. And as we know, misery loves company.

If we could remember that everything is energy and everything that we attract to us is contingent on our energetic vibration, then we would realize that we are supremely in control of our lives. If we are filled with love and happiness and self-contentedness, then every person and situation we attract to us will be loving, supportive and happy. But if we are focused on self-loathing, insecurity and fear, we will only succeed in drawing to us vibrational matches to those low level energies. And before you know it, we are surrounded with mean, selfish and harsh people and situations.

Think: vibrational match. When you want to attract something, you have to focus on those qualities – the perfect relationship, the perfect job, happy friendships, etc… but at the same token, if we do NOT WANT SOMETHING, we have to be very careful NOT TO PUT OUR ATTENTION ON IT. Our mere attention to the problem, feeds the negative energy and “stokes the fire.” If you do not want something in your life, DO NOT focus on it. If you have to solve it – solve it quickly and objectively and shut it down. Do not get entwined in the emotionality of the situation. That negative emotionality is what will begin to bring forth more of the same and only succeed in complicating your problems.

Not only do you get what you give, but you get what you think about. If you do not want it in your life, do not give it any attention whatsoever.
