All of the current circumstances in your life are the result of your beliefs. Your financial situation, friends, relationships, career success, fulfilment, and happiness are all influenced by your beliefs. And your beliefs generate emotions, which drive your actions. You are in charge of your own life. Yes, it is correct! You made it happen. And once you realise this, it’s actually very empowering because you realise you can just as easily change it and recreate a different outcome if you really want to.

Taking responsibility means regaining control. When you recognise that all of your experiences have been and continue to be a gift to help you grow and find fulfilment, you are truly empowered. You will be transformed from a victim to a ‘Warrior Goddess’ once you fully understand that you get what you believe. You have a sense of purpose, passion, and power. Nothing has power over you. You are not controlled by your parents, society, the government, the state of the economy, the weather, or your partner. They have an impact on you, but they do not control you. What matters is how you react to these events.

Studies have shown that people who are optimistic are happier. This is because they see the world as full of help, opportunities, and blessings. Similarly, people who believe they are lucky are more likely to win and achieve better results than those who do not. ‘Lucky people’ believe that they and their surroundings are fortunate, so that is exactly what they receive. My father thought he was fortunate when it came to parking spaces. He’d drive into town on a busy market day and ALWAYS find a parking spot. He was certain he would. That’s all he got!

What do you think? Examine your beliefs carefully. If you believe something is difficult, it will most likely be difficult for you. Are you willing to imagine a different reality? If you want better health, better relationships, and more abundance, you must change your thinking. Changing your internal feelings about something will change your emotional response. Changing your response will alter your actions. And it is your feelings and attitude towards your circumstances that cause the reality to shift. You can control both of these things if you control your beliefs.

Accepting things as they are and accepting that you are responsible is the first step in the journey of change. You’re the “movers and shakers”! Then you stop putting your power in the hands of others. Instead, you recognise your own power and fully empower yourself. Realizing that you have the power to change your life is a good place to start. If you work too hard, are unhappy in your relationship, are frustrated with anything in your life, or believe the world is not treating you fairly, there is some judgement or limiting belief at work. “I have to work hard to be successful,” or “all of my relationships are a disaster,” for example.

Raise Your Vibration to Advance When you feel trapped or stuck by your circumstances or situation, it is critical to breaking free from your fear-based feelings. The first step is to unwind. Then, connect to the Light (Universal energy / Source) and really feel what you’re grateful for. This will make you feel so much better, raise your vibration, and allow you to communicate with the guidance of your higher self. Remember that your vibration is a reflection of how you feel. And the more good, positive things you attract and manifest, the higher your vibration. Your vibrational match is drawn to you.

You’ll notice a difference in your body and mind when you relax, connect to the Light, and feel grateful. You’ll feel lighter and more optimistic about the future. You have access to these tools right now, right where you are. Even when everything feels paralysed, you always have a choice, and action is the antidote to fear. Reclaim your power, Goddess! Decide what you want to believe and how you want to feel right now, and commit to focusing on that as much as you can. It is entirely up to you how you view life. Make an effort to be positive. Expect good things to occur. Then, guess what? They begin to occur!
