It Doesn’t Matter Who Believes In You

… as long as YOU believe in you.

When it comes to living your life, YOU are the authority. Never give your power over to anyone else to make you feel badly about yourself.

No one has control over your life unless you give it to them. If you give your power over to other people to prioritize their judgments/ opinions of you, then you lose yourself. You have no one but yourself to blame if you choose to buy into other’s opinions over your own. It is always a choice.

No one’s judgments or opinions should matter to you unless they support your view of yourself. If they do not, they should be kindly disregarded. Don’t waste your time feeling insulted, misunderstood or slighted. It is not worth your energy. Every time you choose to put your energy there, you take it away from building the beautiful being that you are and/or want to become.

It’s your life and your path to walk every day. Those people will always come and go into your life, but you will be the one left standing and upholding their judgments/opinions long after they’ve left. So ask yourself if that is what you want to be doing. Make a better life for yourself and decide today that you will only accept perceptions that are authentic to you and which support your positive growth. If those perceptions do not, throw them out and replace them with more suitable options.

The only thing we have in life are our choices. Learn to choose wisely and not give your power over to anyone else to malign you or take you down. Life is too short to play out other people’s perceptions of you. Time to live your own.

Learn To See Your Patterns

… otherwise you will repeat them.

We all have patterns, we are just not acutely aware of them. In fact, we spend our lifetimes going through the same patterns over and over again. It’s called sleepwalking our way through our lives. We keep hitting our head on the walls over and over again wondering “why things like this keep happening to us?” We feel victimized by the pattern instead of empowered and awakened to make necessary change.

What is a pattern you might ask? Any obstacle, hardship or adverse encounter that continually shows up in our lives signifies a pattern. Clearly the pattern continues in our lives until it’s addressed. Our patterns show up everywhere in our lives – at work, at home, in our relationships with lovers, colleagues, family, friends and strangers. Patterns are highlighted over and over in our lives until we work through them. If we do not catch the pattern, it will undoubtedly repeat again, but with a new situation and a new cast of characters.

Your work is to wake up to the patterns, catch them and heal them so that you can be freed of them. Once you wake up and apply a certain degree of conscious awareness to your life, your life changes. Patterns are meant to be addressed and worked through, not experienced over and over again.

The next time you find yourself in a tough spot, stop and ask yourself if there is a pattern here that you are not seeing. Has something similar happened before? Once you catch the pattern, you can choose to show up differently and make a new decision that will change your outcome. As long as you stay stuck repeating negative patterns of behavior, you keep yourself back in life. Patterns keep you stuck. Healing the patterns set you free. Where do you want to be?
