Taking Back Your Power.
It feels so much easier to say, then to do right?
But now more than ever we are being asked to gather the strength within us & take back our power.
We are being asked to speak our truth & do what feels right within ourselves instead of looking to outside sources.
Only we know what our True North is. What our true essence is.
How exactly do we begin to do this for ourselves?
Like always we can look to our Sacred Mother for guidance. She shows us how the trees stand tall regardless of who is around or beneath them. She guides us with the beauty of the flowers and how they do not open or close because of who is walking by. They simply stand in their beauty regardless.
The sun is always shining regardless of what is happening around it.
The most important thing we can remember is not to allow someone’s presence, beliefs or actions to change your true nature. To hold you back from shining what is great & powerful about you.
Don’t allow someone's opinion to change your mind or to steer you off course.
Don’t allow yourself to play small to keep someone else comfortable.
Don’t allow situations to determine how strong you are.
Walk tall and strong because you belong here on this planet. You were sent here with the purpose of being 100% you. To step into your gifts, speak your voice & share your medicine with the world.
There is no hierarchy. No one is better then or less then. There is no value placed on the letters behind our name, certificates on our wall or the number in our bank account.
We may show respect, listen & learn from others, but we must not hand our power to them. That is ours to keep, ours to hold and ours to strengthen.
If we are seeking any kind of validation or approval we are fragmenting ourselves from our power. We are asking for permission from others to approve who we are. We are asking others to help put a title on who we are. There is no need to ask permission. You came to this Earth with everything you need to be your magical & powerful self.
This was a major lesson in my own life. I had given my power away time and time again. I ended up losing who I was. I couldn’t even make the simplest decisions for myself, let alone the bigger decisions in my life. I fell into our hierarchical society trap. I believed that if you were older than me, had more education then more, made more money than me, then you knew what was best for me.
Just recently this lesson was so deep for me. I was seeking validation and approval from someone I had looked up to & trusted. To receive this, I ended up handing all my power away believing this person knew what was best for me. In the end I felt I had absolutely no voice or held no value.
In the beginning & while going through this lesson, I was quite upset. I was in the shadows, and crying the ugly tears of victimhood. I was so mad at this person. I then realized that by doing this, I was still giving away my power. This situation was actually a real gift. A chance to claim my power back, but not from this certain person, but from within myself. I may have given my power away, but I still had power within me to reclaim this part of myself.
I had a chance to rewrite my journey; are you ready to rewrite yours?
Much love,
Paige
