Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Stop Giving Away Your Power by Jane “You can’t always control your circumstances.†Your life can change at any time, from harmonious to difficult. The reality is that you have no control over circumstances that may turn your life upside down. But there is something you can control. That something is your reaction to the situation. When you accept this and resist the urge to blame and act as the victim, you regain control. Be mindful when life gets tough. Never give away what power you do possess, when confronted with a bad situation. The Cost of Living Up To the Expectations of Others “You are your own best judge.†When you start judging yourself by looking through the eyes of your parents, husband, friends, or boss, you end up running around doing more and more in an effort to gain their approval. It does not take long before you end up feeling exhausted, resentful and ready to give up. Trying to live your life by the expectations of others disconnects you from your own desires. It leaves you feeling empty and unmotivated. The gratification that comes from fulfilling the expectations of others is very little and short-lived. Reclaim the energy and happiness that is rightfully yours! Be your own judge and live by your own expectations. As you reclaim your potential, you will thrive and feel energized, because you are accomplishing things that are important to you. Start today! Stop stopping yourself Stop stopping yourself. Stop holding yourself back. Yes, the world throws all sorts of difficult challenges your way. And you can find a way to transcend every one of them. Yet you must choose to do so. You must make the commitment, deep within yourself, to live with richness and purpose and fulfillment. Many events, people and situations will challenge you and impede your progress. However, the only limitations that can stop you completely are the limitations you place on yourself. See that the doubts and limiting beliefs are of no use to you. Choose to simply and effortlessly let them go, just like that. Your dreams are calling to you right now, calling for you to begin living them in this very moment. Stop holding yourself back, and let yourself be all you know you can be.
