Shift From the Shadow of Wants to Embracing Your Power

Wanting continues to overshadow and stifles us from recognizing, understanding, and pursuing our needs.

Which is our own doing. 

We are sick, struggling, and oversaturated by literal and social pollution. Why? Because we are not strengthening the faith in our being, which provides quality of life, endless grace, compassion, courage, coping, troubleshooting, respect, honesty, and prosperity for our lifetime. 

Discomfort is necessary for us to take a pause, so we wake up, become aware, acknowledge, and shift toward what is needed, our stream of consciousness. 

But instead, we grab a life preserver and jump into someone else’s stream because we are too lazy to do the work we need to be our best selves.

We are tired because we are taught to be aloof and follow what others offer. Better job, more money, a bigger house, newer car, proper education, anti-aging remedies, glamorous lifestyle, salvation, etc. 

How’s it working out for you? 

Are you content?

How many times have you wanted validation today?

How many times have you projected blame today?

How many medications are you on to keep you alive? 

How much have you laughed or just smiled today?

Being in the flow and listening with the intention to our intuition, spirit guides, ancestors, and divine energy fosters strength of personal power, grace, and peace within. 

Handing our choices and power over to another by following expectations and allowing instilled fears to guide our decisions pollutes the personal process of making decisions. It deflects our attention away from what we know we need in hopes to gain frivolous validation from someone else. 

Part of the challenge is we want to know what our purpose is for this lifetime. 

Are you here to follow the doctrine of another?

Why do you want to know the details of your purpose?

What if your purpose is simply to be your best self while enjoying a combination of needs and desires all while leading with compassion and grace. 

Yes, it’s this simple. But to get to this place of simplicity we need to be honest with ourselves of what choices we are making. 

You are all-powerful and it’s up to you to embrace where you go from here.
