It’s mind boggling to think that everything we do starts with a single thought don’t you think? Nothing is possible or exists without being first thought of.
So what are your thoughts about the most important person in your life?
I wonder who you thought about when I put this question to you? Was it someone other than yourself? Of course I meant you. Yes you. You are the most important one in your life. Often though we don’t feel this way do we. Why is this?
The answer may be due to the thoughts we have of ourselves. We want to believe we are strong, confident, decisive people when, truth be told, we aren’t this way at all. Our thoughts make us how we are. Sometimes however it’s other people’s thoughts that have made us how we are. We have given our power away and listen to other people’s opinion of ourselves and adjust our belief into what they tell us even though, sometimes, we don’t particularly agree.
Have you given your power away?
I think as you get older and you’ve been a people pleaser in the past there comes a time of rebellion and being fed up with that foolishness. Some are smart enough to sort out their self esteem issues early, others are finally worn out with being a door mat and decide they’ve had enough of that sh#t and take it no more.
Our thoughts are double-edged swords. When thinking positively, they can significantly enhance how we feel about ourselves and what we manifest. When thinking negatively, they contribute to our limiting beliefs about ourselves and help manifest what we don’t want. We always haves choices and it’s up to us to steer out thoughts into their positive, empowering mode. Having said that, it isn’t always easy to do that alone and sometimes we just need help to start that transition.
I’ve always thought of myself as strong and self determined yet creating and maintaining healthy boundaries with others has been a huge learning curve for me. Putting other people’s feelings ahead of my own has led me to give my power away and sorely regret it later. I believe listening to your gut feelings and trusting yourself enough to follow them, even if others don’t like it, is very empowering.
