Perception, perspective and choice. These are your superpowers.
You are a powerful, dynamic creator. Did you know that? Your thoughts, words, feelings, and actions add up to create your life experience. You are not a victim in life and life is not happening to you. Life is happening through you. Let's get radical and recognize that life is even working for you!
A lot of people say they aren't "spiritual," but the definition of spirit is: the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character. There is a force, a source, an energy, a life-giving power, back of all things. We can harness this energy and focus our consciousness to create a life that is beyond magnificent.
Yes, the unexpected happens and there are always hurdles and situations, but every moment is an opportunity to whip out a superpower.
When my father died I could not physically swallow for three days. My body was a reflection of the emotion that was choking me. Gone from this earth? No. For an entire year I grieved hard, went to therapy, and dealt with the massive anxiety that haunted me. Diving deep, I faced the challenge head on, and now a year and half later, I can see how much stronger I have become because of his passing.
Everything that happens in my life and in your life is perfect. All of it. Nothing is outside of the realm of perfection. Pain is the touchstone of growth and the optimum space for change, so we need it. It's perfect! Change can be extremely difficult, but it is necessary for us to expand. We are ever-expanding creative earthlings.
My father died suddenly of a heart attack and I was forced to confront my eating habits, lack of exercise, and my spiritual heart space. It had been closed for a while and I was keeping people out. I've started to become more vulnerable and free and I've changed my diet dramatically. Down 25 pounds, I am lighter and freer since Dad's gone.
Everything that happens is an opportunity. Everything. There are no exceptions. Your perception and perspective is your choice.
What is happening for you today that you can change your perspective on? Is it a loss? Is it a fear? Maybe you can't see right now, but I promise you that the situation is a gift and you can harness the divine power within to see it that way. Go on with your badass superhero self. Create an amazing life!
My mission in life, through my music, is to remind people of this truth. This song of mine, "Exactly" has been downloaded thousands and thousands of times, and people tell me on the daily how much it helps them to know that this is the truth. Everything is perfect, even if it hurts. Take a listen and let the songs help you to remember how powerful you truly are.
