The Power of Mindful Beliefs and Conscious Consumption.

I saw a post the other day that read, "Every job sucks. If you want to do what you love, expect many years of doing things you hate, and 7 other harsh truths." Well, damn. Should we all just throw in the towel on joy and succumb to misery, or what?
Here's an ACTUAL harsh truth: It's not only our own limited beliefs that we have to fight against to live a happy, positive, high-vibe life—it's others' beliefs too. Everyone has their own set of expectations, views, opinions, and limited thinking. I believe we live in a world that, for the most part, sees more limitations than abundant possibilities. And it's simply because so many of us are asleep at the wheel, unaware of how our thoughts impact our reality; we're disconnected from our own power.
I felt bad for the person who posted that message, that she believes it. That she's adopted that thought pattern potentially without even realizing it's a thought pattern and that she has a choice to accept it as her reality, or not. And in doing so, she's most likely making it true via self-fulfilling prophecy and manifestation. You attract what you believe and you see what you focus on in the world.
I used to believe these kinds of statements too, which is why I worked tirelessly and sacrificed precious time with my kids to attain "success" that never satisfied me. In hindsight, I didn't need to do that. I just thought I did. I wasn't clued in and awake to my own power to create and to change my circumstances from within—not with more effort, more work, and definitely not by accepting that every job sucks. Because I'll tell you, mine sure as hell doesn't.
There's nothing I'd rather do than help other women find their own power to create from within, with less stress and hustle too. To remember that while life does include hard work and activities that we don't particularly enjoy, it is also supposed to be fun, joyful, and meaningful, and that this can pour into your work as well. It doesn't have to suck!

The Takeaway: Be mindful of what you consume and what you believe. Don't take it subconsciously at face value as ultimate truth. Question where it's coming from, your reaction to it, and how it's serving you. The brain loves repetition, and as long as it's spinning the same messages around in your head day after day, you're trapping yourself in the same existence. No new or different expansion can occur when the brain and body repeat the same thoughts and behaviors every single day. Let that really sink in. As long as you're repeating the same program from yesterday, you're living in the past.
It's time to break the cycle, embrace your power, and create a future that's truly fulfilling and abundant.
