Owning my power is owning my uniqueness. It’s not giving a rip about whatever the peanut gallery thinks. And this is a challenge for m0st of us. We kill people because they are different. We are anxious if our kids aren’t the same as everyone else’s.
As I think about the new year ahead and what it will bring me I’m both excited and afraid. I know it will be an amazing year because at the end of every year I always look back over the year just finished and am in awe of everything that has happened. Every year is like that and this one will be no different.
I’m excited when I think of the possibilities for me this year. Abraham (see side bar) says every subject is two subjects, that which is wanted and the lack. I’m afraid that I won’t get…whatever. To stay with the excited end of the stick I have to step into my power and not only know my uniqueness but trust my uniqueness. Embracing what makes me who I am will bring me what I want and bring it faster. That’s that Law of Attraction.
We worship at the feet of sameness to the extent that we are numbed to how we feel about it. It’s too dangerous to think about not liking and doing what everyone else is liking and doing. Better to just suffer and stuff it.
I think there is this wave of apocalyptic thinking in our culture because our religion of sameness has finally pushed the other side of the subject which is difference to such an extreme its as if we feel the energy around us stretched to capacity in some way.
Something’s gotta give. And for me I’m committed to allowing my differences first and then developing a greater acceptance of the world around me. Accepting what is and even appreciating what is. If I don’t like what I see, I can allow it simply by not focusing upon it and turn my attention to something that feels better.
Now can I apply this to the muffin top I see in the mirrow with the jeans I put on today!
With Love, Connie
