Clarity and the Power of Our Words
You are attracting the struggle that may be showing up in your life. Yes, I get this because I’ve been there – more times than I’d like to admit. And this is because our words have power.
I sat down at my desk with a long list of to-do’s for the week.
In addition to my work commitments, I had a list of random personal items in my head that I was putting to paper.
After arranging the papers that were on my desk from the week before, the phone rang.
Before I could see who it was, I had this sensation that it was the woman I have been meaning to connect with whose name I just wrote down on my to-do list.
And, it was!
How crazy was that?!?
Or, was it?
I should never be surprised at what shows up in my life as it’s often because I manifested it.
What is on your mind manifests – and sometimes it happens in an instant.
I see this play out in my life every day.
From parking spaces to new client opportunities, I turn possibilities into realities all of the time.
Yet, I forget and sometimes even doubt it.
And, it works both ways.
One of my dear friends recognizes that I have a special parking angel and always manage to get the best parking spots regardless of where I’m going.
Last summer, I was invited to go to lunch with a friend at the Greek church as their annual festival had just opened.
People were lined up for blocks, parking on the side of the road for miles.
We pulled up in front of the church – and I pulled into one of the two spots that had just opened up.
After I parked, she was nowhere to be found.
I got out of my car and saw my friend driving up and down the street looking for a spot while I stood in the empty spot I had mentally claimed for her.
I finally got her attention by moving my arms all around and jumping up and down – and summoned her into the parking place next to me.
After she parked, she got out and asked how I did it.
Easy.
I trust that I’ll get the perfect spot right in front of the place I’m going – and I’m actually excited to see what will show up.
As I said earlier, it works both ways.
In January of 2017, I had a debilitating bout of plantar fasciitis.
After my annual Design Your Destiny Live event, I could hardly walk offstage.
This led to me stopping my daily workouts at the gym and paying less attention to my diet.
I gained weight and started feeling crummy about myself because of the extra weight I began carrying.
The more I focused on the weight gain and the situation I didn’t want, the less I was able to shift the energy associated with it.
So, after the plantar fasciitis got better – I experienced another injury!
What I focus on increases.
And, the same is true for you.
The good news is you can make a shift.
Over the past year, I’ve focused on loving myself for being perfectly proportioned and curvy, feeling beautiful for being me, and grateful for being able to walk and do what I love for a living.
It’s made a difference – and this year at Design Your Destiny Live someone actually commented me for owning my beautiful curves!
And, not only do I feel better, I’m making better choices with my diet.
One of the areas where clients will often shy away from speaking about is money.
Yet, the same holds true for wealth and affluence.
When you’re struggling with prosperity or getting clients, a great place to check in first is what messages you’re creating.
If you believe that what you do is amazing, yet are convinced that no one will pay you what you’re worth…
Or, you recognize you need to raise your rates or ask your boss for a raise, yet just haven’t brought yourself to take action…
Or, you’ve applied for something you wanted and are waiting for the rejection letter… (Yep. I’ve done this – and it’s crazy-making…)
You are attracting the struggle that may be showing up in your life.
Yes, I get this because I’ve been there.
And, more times than I’d like to admit.
Now, this doesn’t mean you sit on your couch eating bonbons while opportunities just show up. ((Although at times they have….))
Clarity is tricky and elusive – and there is incredible power when you get clear on what you want and put your energy and thoughts in that direction.
You will manifest where you give your attention to, although not always as you have envisioned.
Several years ago, one of my clients manifested the man of her dreams after one conversation with me – and she hadn’t dated for 8 years!
And, another client manifested a car – in the color and price she wanted – $30K less than the original sticker price!
So, where are you putting your focus on right now?
Are you clear about what you want – and why it matters? (Basic questions from my 1st book, Designing Your Destiny…)
As Lisa Nichols said,
“When your clarity meets your conviction, and you apply action to the equation, your world will begin to transform before your eyes.”
Action:
The Upside Challenge of the week is to speak what you want out loud every day for the next 7 days – to yourself in the mirror and to one friend.
Remember, the world needs you and your brilliance.
