Most people underestimate their power to change, evolve and grow; don’t be one of them. When we experience patterns in our lives, we must own what role our habits; thoughts and beliefs play in our personal suffering.

 

Does This Mountain Look Familiar?

 

When we find ourselves facing familiar challenges and repeating a similar story line, we can become reactionaries, constantly triggered and tossed about by every wind and external happening. Or we may choose to go passive, underreact and fall into the self-delusion fantasy that “something is coming,” hoping that our situation will magically change without with much effort on our part. Unworthiness and powerlessness are two crippling emotions that reside beneath patterns of pain, both act as magnets that drag us down into the pit of familiar despair and learned helplessness.

 

We don’t eradicate these powerful life patterns merely on hopeful thoughts, wishes and causal prayers; we must actively, consciously and intentionally participate in our own rebirth, we must engineer our own Life Reset.

 

It’s not failure, it’s feedback

 

You experienced a result you do not want. You now have the power to correct it and change. It is NOT failure; it is feedback. It is an invitation to choose differently. People tend to repeat the same actions, hold onto the same beliefs and think the same thoughts, and then act surprised when life remains the same. Life will not change until we do.

   

Patterns keep us STUCK

 

These patterns of pain may keep us in soul-killing jobs, poverty, anxiety, depression, powerlessness, unworthiness, shame, unhealthy friendships, and toxic romantic relationships, because ultimately, patterns of pain keep us in destructive relationships with ourselves. These patterns place powerful barriers up to what we desire most, freedom, success, happiness, peace and fulfillment.

 

We are not guests in our lives, we are owners.

 

Life reveals and mirrors our beliefs, and as tempting as it is to believe life is happening “to” us, it is not. Life is being accurately expressed through us. Our expectations create our beliefs, our beliefs guide our habits, our habits shape our character, our character determines our choices, and our choices create our reality. WE are the only ones who can control this. We must release our temptation to “fix” others and embrace the power to heal and change ourselves.

 

3 Keys to Success

 

If you could break down the core principles from thousands of success books, achieving happiness and success in life would boil down to these 3 steps below:

 

CLARITY: Be clear about what you want.
AWARENESS: Create actions to accomplish what you want. Pay attention to the results your actions are creating.
FLEXIBITY: Keep adjusting behavior and changing actions steps until you get what you want.

 

Do you know what you want? If so, determine the steps it will take to reach your desire. Then, keep adjusting and changing behavior as life/results provides feedback until you reach your desired reality.

 

You can manifest a new reality, one that accurately reflects who you have become. You can cultivate a life that reflects the deeper, authentic desires of your heart. You do not have to continue in the emotional stress of having a desire within for better life that in no way matches what you are experiencing in your daily reality.

 

Internal vision and “real life” will align, once you decide that you are worthy enough to release the courage it will take to get there.

 

This is our soul-work

 

The moment our souls begin asking for more, life provides the tests, lessons and encounters to accomplish more. The moment we ask for more, God, our Source becomes our MORE. We are lovingly led by intuitive wisdom to expand our capacity to receive. Our souls choose the lessons they need to learn in order to experience greater depths of maturity, wisdom and power. As we expand, we are empowered to release any patterns that are no longer in alignment with our truth.

 

 

Change your mind. Change your life. Change it all!

 

Remaining stuck in painful patterns is not an option for the conscious, evolving person. Onward is the only direction. We can own our God-given power to think new thoughts and choose new behaviors.

 

By releasing old patterns, setting new intentions, and creating new actions we heal and transform our lives. We will restore confidence, serenity and transformative peace with the most important person we will ever meet on the wholeness journey…ourselves.

 

Blessings and much love,
