What can one truly expect from this life? The answer you provide will depend very much on the conditioning that you have received as a child. What house did you grow up in, what were the rules? That is the great accepted delusion, the fact is, none of that counts for anything.
Sure, we should be thankful for the support, love and nuture provided by our families. They cared for us when we couldn't. Then there comes the time that we have to gain an understanding of the world and our limitations for ourselves. It becomes time to question the blindly accepted definition of the world and your capabilities. It becomes time for you to determine what being you actually means, with no input from anybody else.
Some of us get the message very early, some of us are late bloomers and some of us never get it. When you are raised by fear, you can fall into the trap of allowing fear to set your limitations. Fear= false evidence appearing real, once you truly understand this, you can then start living.
We are the products of our own self talk or the accepted talk of others. Once you realise that you can make incredible changes in your life. You can do anything that you want, all you have to do is believe in yourself. That is the tricky part; I mean truly believe in yourself.
Sure, it will take dedication, persistence, relentless attention but you are more than capable of that. After all you have been delivering the self limiting messages to yourself for how many years now? Make a choice, change your mantra from “I can't” to “ I can”. Put in the same level of commitment to that mantra and see what changes start to take place.
There will be subtle differences that you will not even notice to start with. Your body for one is going to be sighing a great big Thank you! I can hear it now, “finally some positives are coming my way, look out immune system, things are picking up!”
Life serves up all sorts to us, not always fair, not always right, not always expected, but the one constant in all situations is ….You, me, Us. We have the position of power, we just don't know it. We are the ones who are the ultimate decision makers. We can choose , “will I be a victim?”, “will I be beaten before I even started?” or “will I start living my life”, “will I start owning my choices?”
Once you start owning your life and owning your choices, then comes the power! Once you change from “I can't” to “I can”, the doors start opening.
Go ahead, don't be afraid, step through, your life is waiting.
