Lights, Camera... Personal Power

Posted on February 4th, 2023

You are the star of the show in your life.

There is no understudy to take over, no way to take a break from the show when things don't go as planned. What it is it that allows you to keep shining and making those positive choices to make your life re-run worthy? It's call Personal Power.

It comes from your strength of character, your values, confidence and self-esteem. It is also the easiest thing to lose or give away. Usually we don't even know we have lost it until...you guessed it; you no longer feel like the star in your own life. The foundation of this precious gift is your values, what you believe in, morals and those things that you feel are most important to you without exception. As Alexander Hamilton said: “You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything.” Keep your foundation strong by not letting others' opinions of you affect how you perceive yourself. Your worth is not dictated by others. Who is writing this script anyway, right?

Not only are you the star of this show you are also the director, yeah! How you respond to your environment and the people in it is completely in your creative control. There will always be negativity, or someone that may treat you poorly but that doesn't mean you dwell on it, stoop to it or wallow in it. Accept it, shine through it, forgive and let it go (que Elsa...just kidding, really that part takes practice). When you waste your time and energy on negativity it takes your power. Who, what and when you spend your time on is your choice; make them positive, uplifting and memorable. 

Yes, unfortunate things will happen. Don't complain, it's not worth the energy drain (sorry, didn't mean to rhyme, but that was pretty good, lol). Accept how you feel and take responsibility for them (your feelings that is, no one else can). How you handle situations will make the difference between a box-office bomb and Grammy award winning smash hit. Remember, you are the director and star...so push out the fear, self-doubt, feelings of helplessness and hold tight to your power.

Stand on that stage and dare to be the beautiful light and shining star you were meant to be. Until next time love and light to you.
