There is sometimes a feeling that life is out of your control…
That things just keep happening and that there is nothing you can do to improve things…
I get emails from people telling me that they are ashamed of the life they are living and I have to remind them time and time again that it is a choice to continue to live that life…
But sometimes, humans seem to be more enamoured with their sad story than they are with change…
I used to be that person…
Sure that the gods were against me…
Pitying myself and my circumstances…
If only the car accident had not happened that broke my dad’s spinal cord then life would have been so different…
If only the armed robbers did not come then I would not be full of fear…
If only we had not gone to live in Nigeria then life would have been so much better…
If only I had not been a part of that church for so long then I would be further ahead…
If only I had not cared so much what people thought of me, then I would be a billionaire by now…
If only, if only, if only…
And all the while that I was indulging this ‘if only’ thing, Papa kept giving me options…
Kept reminding me that He is my Source…
Kept trying to get me to keep my attention on where I was going, rather than where I was coming from…
And finally, I got it!
The past means nothing, except maybe as a lesson, an experience…
I can continue to live in the past, if I choose but then all I am is a prisoner of my past…
Or in each moment, I can choose again to do something that brings the life I dream of, to life…
Always my choice.
I followed the prompting and got myself supported physically by mentors and coaches…
I leaned in ever closer to Papa…
I took new actions based on how I was guided and what I was learning
I continually improve myself…
I continually elevate my self belief and also my faith that things can work out for me…
I make a moment by moment choice to catch my mind and where it is taking me…
I get rid of guilt, shame and fear of punishment so that i am free to design the life I want…
It is not easy…
I do not always get it right…
But I never give up on myself…
I keep moving forward…
I look at my goal – 334000 people served daily: Empowered to live free, fulfilled, abundant lives, making a dent on the planet as they go. Me doing the work that I am born to do and getting paid for it.
I remind myself daily why I am passionate about it…
I see it in my mind’s eye…
And I ask for ideas daily to bring it to life…
I ignore anything in my current life that does not take me to my goal – I expect it to get sorted out as I focus on where I want to go.
And that is it – DAILY, minute by minute…
I make mistakes, I pick myself up…
I make more mistakes, I pick myself up repeatedly…
Leaning deeper and deeper into Papa, seeking guidance, wisdom, insights…
ACTING on them, I keep moving forward…
And I invite you to stop looking just at your life as it is and instead, start looking at what you want it to be.
And Keep moving towards that.
Do whatever you need to do to move forward to the vision, the dream, the purpose-driven life.
Come do life with me in the OPULENCE CIRCLE – It is time to move forward to your real life!
Much Amazing Love!
