The Power to Create

How does today contribute to your goal?

What do you need to shape-shift or change in order to transform your current perspective into what is needed to achieve this goal?

Where are you holding back?

Do you ever wonder why we keep attracting the same experience again and again until we are sick of it, yet we don’t quite know what we need to do differently in order to break the cycle?

When I started in the job market in 1988, I kept attracting jobs where I could use my basic skills (such as typing, etc) but not the more advanced and exciting skills which I use today, such as communication, writing or creating strategies. Part of it was lack of experience and part of it was lack of clarity of how to achieve this fuller potential.

I then realised that another reason was that I needed to use my safe skills and didn't have the courage to use my special skills, my gifts. So what I attracted were safe jobs and safe money, even though every second I was spending doing these tasks were soul-destroying: repetitive, boring... they would put my mind into a comma. 

So my work wasn't thrilling, to say the least. 

Then one day I realised that there was a cycle that kept repeating - this was the first step to be able to break it: the realisation that it was (and had been for maybe a long time!) taking place.

Becoming aware of it was like switching a light on that couldn’t be put out. It was the fact of having outgrown the lesson you were working on. When the awareness was switched on, the pain of doing a lesser job would become more unbearable than the pain you used to feel before you understood what was happening. It is as if one can endure what life gives us while in the darkness of consciousness because we don't understand at that point that we have the power to break that repetitive pattern. 

But when the light of your consciousness is on, suddenly a new sense of empowerment and courage seems to take you over - as you see the fears associated with the lesson clearly for what they are, a misled understanding of your lack of power based on a fear of not being safe, or a fear of not making enough, a fear of the unknown or a fear of uncertainty... you start trusting. Trust means the dismantling of your fear. 

And trust is the beginning of moving away from pain and getting closer to joy.

As you move closer to joy, your overall vibrational level shifts. Suddenly you start seeing possibilities where you saw limitation. You start making a plan to move onto your next stage and you work on preparing yourself, committing your energy to your new path.

I decided that I wanted to become a Life Coach in 2000 so I studied for two intensive years with Coach-U. You always want to teach what you need to learn yourself, and I definitely needed all the empowerment I could get my hands on. So I decided that I wanted to commit my skills into a business and no longer a hobby.

With the joy, the preparation and the empowerment that comes with further development, more options started to open, more courage was gathered and more commitment and determination were making themselves present in my matrix. I started making myself known to prospective clients, dabbling in all the areas of the business (even the old-dreaded marketing!), making contacts with like-minded people and creating partnerships. So I started to reach out with the new clarity I had acquired.

What happens next is that by continuously focusing on your new path, you start consistently bringing opportunities to yourself. The confidence that is created makes you take new choices, which breaks the old limiting patterns that you used to repeat when you were unconscious of your strengths, and you are then ready to leap to one more level of communication or self-expression, which comes from being consistent with your integrity.

By finding out where you are not consistent with your integrity, where you are selling yourself short because of fear, you will find your needs. Needs push away our dreams so it is good to have a good look at the real reasons behind staying put in a less than desirable situation or pattern.

Customers relate to your level integrity (the Who) and not merely to your words (the What). You will only attract them when you release needing them. Releasing the attachment to getting money from your clients means that you know that you are the one who creates your abundance. Clearly, it will come through your clients, but not from your clients. That is a very common misconception of how money works and we have been fed this untruth from people who believe the 3-Dimensional reality is all there is. We know today that there is quantum reality influenced by our thoughts, desires and emotions, and that is the real trigger or block to our abundance. 

Basically, if you are not genuine (or you are out-of-integrity = des-integrated) people will detect it straight away and you won't have much of a chance to make anyone believe in you!

To have faith means to have a child-like trust, to be in-genious. 

To be in-genuine-nity means to know that we are safe and we are provided for. 

Then I came to the realisation that this is the power of belief, something I had always had, even when I didn’t realise I did. The same power that allowed me to survive and thrive against all the odds, against all the negative circumstances in my life.

But what is more difficult is to take it to the next level - when we are required to make a leap of faith, which is what is needed in order to lead a memorable life.

This means to do things before we know what the results will be, to release control of the outcome and to believe in them before they are manifested - see them with our eyes and touch them with our hands.

And this requires that we become ready to announce to the world that we are prepared to accept whatever comes. Without demands or expectations. Without conditions or limits.

I have done my best to release my fear of success, my fear of lack, my fear of commitment and my fear of uncertainty. In fact, I enjoy being in a situation with the freedom of all possibilities. Perhaps because I have come to a point where at last I trust my abilities and skills, my talents and my creativity. I believe that the process that I have undertaken has been to appreciate and nurture my gifts and then give them space by creating a “breathing space.

I have made myself comfortable with not-knowing (this means releasing control); I have understood that the Universe wants me to be prosperous and happy (this means increasing my faith) and so I am able to accept each day, knowing that whatever happens is taking me one fast step forwards to my life-work and my goals!

I read somewhere that the three stages to find out your life work are:

1. Know who you are.
2. Your talents are shown to you.
3. Your life-work is shown to you.

I have decided that it is time to get myself out of my own way so that Spirit and my Higher Self can position me at the right place, the most appropriate scenario for me to go forward faster towards my future.

If I had to express these words in a formula, this is how I would say it:

Surrender + Faith + Self Confidence + Acceptance = Big Time!!!

Where:

• Surrender – Release control
• Faith – Trust gained
• Self Confidence – Allow my gifts to flourish
• Acceptance – of Responsibility
• Big Time – Taking of my own Power

Your gifts are really the representation of your soul; your key-note; your self-expression; the part of you aligned to the Universal Harmony; the instrument in the Cosmic Orchestra.

The idea is to take each day as a task and accept it, be willing to learn the lesson hidden in the task, not attach yourself to one result or another, this way avoiding struggle and frustration and knowing that the reason why this task has been presented to us is because there is something we need to learn or someone we need to meet in order to progress further. In other words, there is a piece of your shadow that is demanding to be integrated into the whole, shape-shifted or transmuted into light.

The question to ask yourself is:

WHAT STANDS OUT?

“These articles are written as a means of inspiration for those who enjoy reading spiritually based literature. Through them, I intend to give you different perspectives, a detached outlook, and my personal insight so that they can help you shift your view of your present reality and realize that we always have a choice and that it is this choice which makes the difference between a life of struggle and a life of empowerment. While Practical Spirituality I focuses on perceiving spirit in everyday situations, in the small things and intends to give a different perspective on everyday life’s events, Practical Spirituality II focuses more specifically on success and achievement, but still including a spiritual element.”
