The Energy Within
Belief is a truth held in the heart. Faith is a fire held in the heart. Joseph Newton.
In this journey we call life, being aware of who we are and what we‘re really all about – living on purpose, if you will, is what can set us on fire, if only we will pay attention.
More often than not, so obsessed with taking action, doing instead of being, so focused on things rather than on people, we often are unaware of the energy we are radiating – much of it negative in nature.
This can create a toxic cocktail of uncertainty, doubt and mistrust. Many of us are plagued with constant worries and fear. We have a tendency to lower our expectations in a what-if scenario, instead of expecting the best. Often, as a result, relationships in personal and in our professional lives are often strained and tenuous, things can go wrong and abundance eludes us.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Not if you don’t want it to be. External circumstances do not determine your emotional state and energy. You do. Your life is not meant to always be filled struggle, hardship and heaviness. Rather it was meant to be filled with joy, light and ease. Is it?
What is your dominant perspective?
Are you an optimist or a pessimist? What expectations and beliefs do you hold?
Are they big or small? Do they indicate faith and trust or fear and doubt?
How you see your life is your decision to make. This freedom is yours to choose and is always available to you, even when it feels impossible to find a new perspective, one that radiates positive rather than negative energy.
But here’s the thing. In the end, it’s up to you. The energy can only come from within.
