You Are A Powerful, Magnificent Being

Before you read on, please sit for a moment and let that sink in. Say it out loud or silently: I am a powerful, magnificent being.
If your mind is saying no, I’m not, then just say yes, I am, and continue reading. It’s not ego to recognize your own magnificence – it’s acknowledging the spirit within you.
With all the loud noise of politics, it’s easy to forget that we are participating in a glorious, powerful, awesome shift in consciousness. A shift in consciousness is a shift in perspective. As we change our beliefs about life, the life we see and experience then changes accordingly.
Globally, this shift has already started and is gaining momentum all the time. You need all the power and magnificence that is your natural state because the old way of living isn’t going to work well anymore.
There’s a new paradigm emerging – a paradigm that thrives on sharing and valuing the creative contribution of each person. For a long time, creativity was the exclusive domain of an elite few. Those few created ideas, created art, created educational and power structures, created gender roles and religious regimes – and everyone else followed along.
That’s all changing. There’s upheaval in this new consciousness – a change from seeing ourselves as limited human beings, playing it safe, following other drummers and seeing others as special, gifted and extraordinary – to realizing we, too, are special and gifted and extraordinary.
Now people everywhere are beginning to awaken to their own infinite creative potential – and it’s causing a radical shift in our world. The still, small voice inside each of us is becoming louder and louder. We’re each beginning to become aware of the miraculous inspiration coming through us. We’re starting to hear our own muse inspiring us to keep a steady conscious connection, let go of control, listen and express ourselves!
This ground-breaking journey is not for the faint of heart. You may have periods of smooth sailing followed by bumps and bruises, hesitation or resistance and then smooth waters again. However it looks, it’s important that you love yourself – by taking actions of self-care – through this courageous process.
Just imagine a world where everyone – elders and youngsters alike – participate as empowered, magnificent, joyful and contributing members of society. You are part of this.
