Take back the power in your life

I’m a firm believer in things happening for a reason, destiny, and being open to pathways that are in my best interest– especially the ones that make no sense whatsoever.

I used to give all of my power over to this part of the Life | Death | Life cycle: surrender.

“I’ll get what I am meant to” “If it’s meant to be, it’ll happen this way” or “I might as well not ask for anything because I’ll be given whatever is meant for me anyway” or “I cannot possibly be smart enough to know what’s in my best interest, so I’ll leave it to the fates”. Or better yet “I’d really like this thing but you know, the universe knows best so let’s just kinda sit back and see what happens”.

I thought that this was powerful surrender and would create space for brilliant things would pour into my life. But what it really looked like was me giving away all my power and instead of growing trust in the Universe and what was to come, I was incrementally picking apart my ability to trust myself and my choices and desires.  I became very good at surrendering to life (a very very good skill!) but had unwittingly stomped out my soul’s creative fire.

You see, all parts of the Life | Death | Life cycle require

active participation.

I can’t live the depth of my humanness and a life brimming with purpose without stoking the

fire of creation through asking for what I want + taking action.

A brilliant client of mine states this simply. She has made oaths with the universe around her desires which might go something like this: “I desire a healthy, loving partnership in my life. Send it my way and I declare that I will take every opportunity and do all the work required to have it.

She puts it out there, and she follows the breadcrumbs and takes the action. She activatesher desire and through this process, easily co-creates the experience she wants. Notice that she doesn’t put any rules around how it should come her way or what it might look like when it does aside from the broadest desire: to feel good.

What are the things you truly want in your life? Have you asked for them? Have you held up your side of the bargain? What more can you do?
