Here's a little secret (or should I say big?) that they never taught you in school: you have all the power that you need INSIDE of you! Inside! Not outside! That's right! The kingdom of God is within us, in our hearts. We are more spiritually powerful than we sometimes think.
We create our lives with our thoughts, whether they are negative or positive. Our actions follow our thoughts. If we believe we can do what we desire to do, we can. In turn, if we believe we can’t do something, we won’t. Our thoughts, beliefs, and even words have incredible power to create the life that we desire. Our spiritual thoughts and beliefs have enormous power, also, and we need to be careful what we are taking into our minds each day. Prayer has incredible power over our lives.
How many times have we heard the expression, “You are what you eat”? The same goes for our thoughts. We are what we think. We must believe in ourselves first and believe that we can accomplish anything. Do you think Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs, or Mother Teresa (to name a few) ever said, “I can’t do it?” No, they each had a dream and actively pursued their dreams by believing that they could achieve them, despite any failures.
They had a dream and actively pursued their dreams by believing that they could achieve them and so can we.
Yes, sometimes we fail, we don’t always accomplish all that we would like to, but sometimes those twists and turns in our lives turn out to be bigger and better than we ever dreamed. Here is an example: Twenty-five years ago, I was offered a position at a university as a professor. I didn't even have to apply for it. However, I turned it down. Why? Because I didn’t feel good enough for that position. Me, a university professor?
I have sometimes wondered what would have occurred in my life if I had accepted that position at the university, but here I am, twenty-five years later, writing this blog, with my greatest desire and goal to help children and teenagers energize and rise up in their personal and spiritual power to achieve their dreams and highest potential.
My dreams have come true and so can yours! Rise up in your spiritual power. You are an incredible being of divine love and light.
