 2005
- The Power Year - The Year to Stand Into Your Power
By Cindy Johnston 0f Gifts For The Soul
It the start of every year we think about our
year ahead. 2005 will not be different from previous years unless you start
to consciously create change. This way of thinking requires a few
adjustments and reprogramming of your old thought patterns, and it can and
will be done if you make the decision to do it.
Conscious living is about making choices in your life that feel right. It is
about living an existence where you trust that you already have the answers
and as an individual you are empowered. It means to be constantly aware of
the choices that you make and the impact that these choices have on your
life. If these choices need adjustment then make them and move your life
toward the new direction you require.
Life is really a journey -- not a destination, and as we take steps forward,
we gain a new understanding that we did not have in the previous steps. Our
life story unfolds with the knowledge of what is behind and a positive
thought of what is ahead. Many well-known authors have expressed that our
thoughts create our reality, so be aware of your thoughts and how they
impact your life.
I can hear you saying, “How does that work?” There are some important steps
that you have to follow, but know that these steps are easy to do. First and
foremost, know that you are worthy of the best. Without self-acceptance and
a sense of self-worth, you will struggle to see the opportunities ahead. So
make it a daily occurrence to look at yourself in the mirror and be thankful
for who and what you are and what amazing gifts you bring to this lifetime.
You are special in your own unique way and it is important that you
acknowledge that.
Secondly, the only limitations in your life are those that you put on
yourself. Take a snap shot of your life by stepping back and looking at it
from the view of an observer. This allows you to emotionally detach from it,
which gives you a clearer picture of what is really going on in your life.
Once you have that snap shot look at it and study it. Is your life’s picture
what you expect or what you want for yourself, or are there changes
required? This will give you an understanding of your current life’s journey
and what adjustment you may have to make in order to feel on track. If you
feel something is missing, then do some soul searching.
How you soul search will be unique only to you. Some examples could be
through writing in a journal, drawing a picture or just going into a deep
meditation. It does not matter how you get your answers as long as you get
them. This is the start of conscious living. It is about looking at reality
and acknowledging it.
From this point, you can now make the commitment to make changes happen. One
very powerful way to do this is to sit down with a pen and paper. Title the
paper “My Life” and then start writing. Include your dreams on this list and
do not hold back. What this does, is to commit you to a place of making
change. It shows you what your soul longs to do.
Should negative thoughts creep in as you write your list, know that is it
your ego trying to control you. I ask you to put the ego aside, as it likes
to tell you those dreams are not possible. It too needs to be managed and to
be put in a loving, neutral place. We are all very gifted, and if we start
to manage our ego and stop playing internal tapes that tell us that we are
not worthy, then what job would the ego have? Of course, the ego is going to
rally in it’s own favor, so know that it too can take a back seat if you put
it there.
There are some amazing people in the world who have lived their dreams and
been on track. So what makes them different? They live consciously and drive
their own bus. They create their lives and trust that they are worthy of it.
I ask you to do the same.
We, as humans, must start by taking our power back and moving ourselves
forward in a positive direction. We are fully supported in so many ways that
are unforeseen by many, but know that if we believe in ourselves we will
engulf and live that energy. We will feel whole and we will no longer be
required to look on the outside for confidence. We will look within. If we
consciously align within and get on our soul’s path, then we will feel alive
rather than just living.
Think big because you are big. As you see others succeed, know that you too
can do that and more. Just as the wind blows, so does that energy. As
everyone feels a sense of worth and becomes enlightened with their own life,
there will be an important shift. This shift will be a sense of peace and
fulfillment that we have lost as a community and bigger yet, a society. It
is time to get back to a place of harmony and balance. By you making that
commitment to yourself to do that work in your life, you will start the ball
rolling in the world.
We are at a time of understanding that will create that change. You and your
current life are so extremely important to mankind. It is time to stand in
your power.
