My Journey of Empowerment

Right before my precious mother passed away, I remember vividly when she said, “Enjoy Life” while you’re young, because you don’t know what alignments you’ll have once you get older. Live your life to its fullest potential and have FUN! Being emotionally attached and overwhelmed, because of her illness, I wasn’t thinking about getting older or potential alignments or enjoying life & having fun. My focus and energy was on her and her well being. Years later, after much reflection of many memories we shared these words… “Enjoy Life” stayed deep within my heart and soul.

On my Journey of Empowerment, I realize that Life is a Choice! Life is what you choose to make of it or not to make of it.

I realized I wanted to choose the Life I Desire. Not, settle for what Life gives me. Have you heard the phrase, “When you change the way you think about things, those things will change?” The first time I heard this phrase used, was by Dr. Ellie Drake, an amazing Transformational & Inspirational Speaker. When I became consciously aware that I can choose the Life I Desire, I made a decision to change the way I looked at my Life. I decided to “Enjoy Life” and create Love, Peace, Harmony and Happiness within my life.

Then I connected something else, while continuing my Journey of Empowerment. I’m sure you’ve heard this phrase used before, “What you think about is what you bring about.” When I started reflecting on things I use to think about, for example, “I think I’m catching a cold” or “I think I’m going to run into traffic” or “I think I’m going to be late for my appointment,” etc. And, what ultimately happened, the inevitable, right? I would catch a cold, I would run into traffic, and I would be late for my appointment. So, what I use to focus on, I would get more of it. Then, I decided to focus on positive thoughts and feelings. And guess what happened? My Life began to change and positive events started happening in my Life.

I also learned something even more powerful, along my Journey of Empowerment. It turned out to be the secret, key ingredient to receiving empowerment. When I infuse “Gratitude” with positive thoughts and feelings, I FEEL a higher level of “BEING.” Meaning, “BEING” Love, being at Peace, being in Harmony and being in Joy, deep from within. In case you’re wondering, what does infusing “Gratitude” means? To me, it means being grateful for where I am today in my life. And, being grateful for all things – the good & not so good. For example, when I awake in the mornings and see a new day, a new beginning… I start my day out by saying “Thank You” God (or your higher power of belief) for allowing me to see another Beautiful Day! Therefore, it’s my intention to infuse positive energy, thoughts and feelings into having a Beautiful Day. How you decide to start your day is your choice. It’s up to you to make a conscious effort and give gratitude for the many gifts you receive daily.

I’ve shared a few ingredients of what I’ve learned on my Journey of Empowerment. In closing, allow yourself to make a conscious Choice & create the Life you Desire! Change the way you think about things, one thought at a time by re-conditioning your thoughts, and then you’ll re-condition your feelings. Ultimately, what you think about is what you FEEL. Infuse “Gratitude” daily! “Choose” the Life you Desire! And, like my mother shared with me, “Enjoy Life”… and “Enjoy” your Journey of Empowerment!
