POWER

Power ability to do or act; capability of doing or accomplishing something. 

The word "power" can indicate many different meanings. In this writing, I will be referring to the power of thoughts. 

Thoughts are very powerful. It is a form of communicating with our higher divine, and controls our habits and behaviors. We all have ideas of what we want to accomplish or have in our lives. It is through our thoughts that gives us the power to make those dreams come true.

For instance, the idea of buying a house may come to you. You start thinking how cool it would be to own a home. But, it does not stop there. Your dreams of owning a home begin to manifest into the kind of home you want. Guess what? You have put that thought of what you want out to the Universe and it has been granted. Think I am crazy?

Listen to this: 

Many years ago I was sitting with a friend of mine talking about my life and where a was at. I was complaining of all the things I want and do not have. He started laughing, which kinda pissed me off. But the reason he was having a nice chuckle was because he said to me, "Yeah, all those things you want have already been given to you. As soon as you put it out, the Universe began to orchestrate it and it is there." I just looked at him so confused, and he could see that I did not understand what he was trying to say. So he pointed at one end of the room and said, "That is where you are at." He then pointed to the opposite end of the room and said, "Over there is all the things you have put out to the Universe that you want. But, the reason you are not on that side of the room enjoying all the things you have been manifesting is because you have put so many blocks in front of you to get to them." Suddenly the light bulb went off and I understood that my negative thoughts and self doubt was standing between me and my dreams. 

We often allow our minds to get flooded with self doubt and destructive thoughts. I tend to believe that is a human and earthly thing. We are all designed to live in bliss and somehow we get caught up in the ways of the world. Perhaps that is why meditation is so important, it allows us to move our minds away from "Earth drama". Let's go back to the house scenario. Maybe you can't afford the home you want. Yet, you have the power to make it happen. Yes indeed you do! We have the ability to switch our negative thinking around into positive thinking. Perhaps a new job with higher pay is needed. Whatever it is holding you back from getting exactly what you want, you have the power to acquire it through your thoughts. Once the understanding of what needs to be changed in order to get what you want, then the action begins. Again, you put it out to the Universe that you need a job that pays more money so you can have the house of your dreams. It is your responsibility to move forward and believe that the Universe has already got your back on that higher pay.

Will this happen right away? It depends, sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. Many times we have to work at removing one block at a time to finally get to the goal.I like to think of it as a way of growth in the journey of life, embracing the power of turning our thoughts into magic created by the Universe.
