The Place To Start. The Searching Is Over. Do We Care?
If you want to see something through, it requires you to care. We have 2 options. To find something that resonates and then go down that path or to find something about what we are already doing that we can nurture our caring about. What are we DOing today? Family, relationships at work, in personal life, jobs, play, wellness, spirituality... Where do we struggle? What could we DO differently (where could we care more).
If we care more we will put more attention on that area, person, if we care in a positive loving manner then that is the energy we will give and new possibilities will manifest. If we choose to focus our attention on that which fuels our anger, fears, and discontent then we not only drain our energy and thus our ability to spend our energy helping ourself, others, and the situations that we care about, but we also reinforce our default future.
To keep the same reactions and resign yourself to the thought that no other possibilities exist is to ensure that your life will NOT change. No one and nothing is coming to save you. That job is yours and waiting to start the instant you choose it. Time to stop analyzing (it’s exhausting) and start acting: Right Now is the best time to act and actually it is the only time to act as Choosing to live in the present is choosing joy over living in the fearful future we make up or the dispirited past we also make up to avoid taking responsibility for our present state.
Each of us chooses how we spend our energy and where we focus our attention. To reclaim your power from others and the environment is to realize where you spend your time and attention AND your energy.
Where do you leak energy and feel unempowered? Here is the place to start your new life. Life is right now and there are no guarantees of any more to follow.
To check if you are on track: something about what you are doing will feel uncomfortable. You are stepping in to the unknown and this is where all new possibilities exist. To support your new action ask yourself: Are the old ways (inside your comfort zone) working to give you the life that you really want?
Congratulations you are NOW taking your power back and allowing your creativity to emerge. Action + Creativity = Joy
The search outside yourself for love is over; it has been bottled up inside the whole time. Once aware of the fears that kept you from expressing your love you can acknowledge them and let them pass as just another thought that has not served you well. Thank you for stopping by Mr. Thought, now off you go as I now choose to spend my attention (energy) elsewhere. Ahh back to the good stuff!
