Life consists of highs and lows. It’s never the same; you can never predict future outcomes with 100% certainty.
However, you have the power within you to live a life with intention. Even though you can’t control future outcomes, you can think, act, and live your desired life.
There are things you can control and those you can’t. For instance, you cannot control the weather. It’s not in your power to do so. Similarly, you cannot do anything about what other people think and feel.
You can only control your thoughts, emotions, and actions. You have the power to react to a situation the way you want. Remember, it’s not what happens but how you respond to it that matters.
When you become self-aware that you have power over your thoughts, emotions, and actions, you start living with intention. You are not driven by external circumstances or what other people say. Your life moves in the direction you want it to.
Most of us worry about the past or what will happen in the future. We rarely live in the present moment. The only way you can make your future (or even the past) better is by your actions in the now.
- Your thoughts have power.
- Your emotions have power.
They help you take the right action in the present moment to create your reality.
Remember, your life is in your hands.
Often, we let other people take the driver’s seat of our life’s vehicle. They can be our parents, employers, friends, or partners. When that happens, you suffer. We allow their opinions and behaviors to impact how we live. Yes, they are an essential part of our lives. But you cannot live a fulfilled life when you give the power to others.
“A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.”
— James Allen, As A Man Thinketh
Take 100% responsibility for your life. Whatever happens to you is because of you, not anyone else.
Others might have something to do with your current situation. But, it is only if you give them the power to do so. For example, your boss yells at you because you screwed up at work. You’ll feel bad and apologize to him. But, if you start thinking you are careless and not worthy of anything good, you begin to suffer more.
Unfortunately, you will attract similar circumstances because you have programmed yourself to believe they are true.
Everything starts with your thoughts. If you can control your thoughts, you can create magic in life. When you think positive, you feel positive.
The universe responds to your energy (or vibrations), which are made from your thoughts and feelings. You attract things that match your energy. Suppose you want a job that pays a $100,000 salary. You will only get such a job if you are ready to become the person who is worthy of it. You must align your thoughts and feelings with those of the person who gets paid that salary.
“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.”
— Seneca
Live life with clear intentions. Knowing what you want your life to be like is crucial for it to become a reality.
Many people are unsure of what they want. Therefore, things happen to them without their acknowledgment. As a result, they suffer because they didn’t intend it to happen.
The number one reason is people aren’t aware of the power within them. They do not live with clear intentions or align their thoughts with their purpose.
Dr. Joe Dispenza explains that clear intention and elevated emotions create a new reality.
“We know that it takes a clear intention (a coherent brain) and an elevated emotion (a coherent heart) to begin to change a person’s biology from living in the past to living in the future. That combination of mind and body — of thoughts and feelings — also seems to influence matter. And that’s how you create reality.”
There is power in every human to create their reality. Unfortunately, they are not realizing it to live better lives. They are letting other people take charge of their reality.
Your ability to think, feel, and act in a certain way helps you succeed in all aspects of life. Remember, you are a creator. Once you start living with intention, you can create the life you want.
There is power within you. Are you ready to realize that power and create a new reality?
Or do you want to feel the same way and live an unfulfilled life?
The choice is yours.
