I Have The Power!!!

Well, I'll be the first to admit that this frigidly cold weather has gotten to me of late. I mean, come on, Mother Nature--I left the North hoping to never see these frigid temperatures again, never to see snow, never to be chilled all the way to my bones--but here I am freezing my tush off and being very grumpy about it too, I might add.

Okay, honestly--my moodiness is based on more than just the weather, but dear old Mother Nature does play a role...

Lately I have been stymied about what to do with my life--face it, I'm not loaded down with life skills (gee, do you think that might be why I have failed in my previous marriages?) Life is tough. It takes such stamina and perseverance to make it and just in the last year or so, I realized too that it takes a HUGE amount of Positivity and forward thinking, as well. How very easy it is in today's world though to lose sight of just that. How very easy it is to turn negative and look at all the "things" that we do NOT have instead of concentrating on all the things and blessings in our lives that we DO have.

Well, this morning, while writing in my daily journal, chronicling my thoughts, my feelings, my happenings of late and then talking to my god, my angels, my spirit guides and imploring the Universe to step up and help me--a miraculous thing happened. The Universe just got right up in my face and practically shouted just this: "YOU HAVE THE POWER!" my first reaction was, "huh, who said that?" then I heard it again, only one word was changed and it said, "I HAVE THE POWER!!!" oh. "Did I just say that?" then, "I DO HAVE THE POWER!!!" And do you know what? The Universe is right!!! I DO have the power! We all do!!! We can all Choose to make our lives whatever it is that we WANT and NEED our lives to BE. All we have to do is make the choice and choose to be positive and to quit giving into the negative thinking, the denial of our blessings, the harshness that invades our senses every time we look around at all the cruelty going on all over the world. WE can change things with our thought process, with our actions by refusing to become a part of the evil, the negativity that claws at each and every one of us.

I have the Power!!! I can choose to look at my life with a grateful heart, to realize that the Power to CHANGE, to BE to INFLUENCE, to WIN is all inside of me. I am NOT a failure as a human being. Just because I do not possess the knowledge and intelligence of knowing how to do the many things that my ex husband (and so many others) could do, I am NOT a failure. (I used to feel so vastly inferior to him because it felt like he knew how to do EVERYTHING. -- I wish then I had known that instead of feeling inferior, I should have felt this vast pride in him and could have recognized that we all have our own talents to give to the world--each different, but just as important as others...)

So you see, I HAVE THE POWER!!! I can change my thinking, I can change my attitude and I can change my belief system to encompass the thought process that YES, I CAN MAKE IT IN THIS WORLD and YES, I CAN SUCCEED AT WHATEVER IT IS I SET OUT TO DO. Now tell me, just how absolutely simple is that??? And you know what? I have this huge, unbelievably WARM SMILE :) nestled safely in my heart and a sense of WELL BEING that is just bursting out of me and I KNOW I can do anything. I DO HAVE THE POWER!!! (BUT SO TOO DO YOU!!!)
