You Are More Powerful Than You Know

You are more powerful than you know, think or allow yourself to be. When you are struggling to discover what comes next, you may begin to feel helpless and powerless. And that’s what the Universe want us all to know today that despite how it might feel, you and I have great power over our lives.
It may be difficult to see sometimes, but it’s always there. You always have a choice and in that choice lies your power. As we end this month, dedicate today to the power of choice. And how very powerful you are because you have the power to choose. You can’t choose everything that you experience in life, but what you can choose is mightier than any circumstance, outcome, or other person’s opinion and that’s your power to choose how you perceive a situation and how you choose to react.
You have the power to choose where you focus your mind, how you use your words, and how you treat yourself and others. You have the power, one chapter at a time to write your own story.
You have the power to choose what you absorb and what you release. You ultimately decide what you share, what you keep, and what you let go.
You have the power to choose how long you stay mad and how long you wait to reach for hope, when you say yes and when you say no, and how long you say only what others want to hear.
And you have the power to choose to see the world with gratitude or with resentment.
Today, stop mopping about and reclaim your power to choose to look for things to feel good about. And if nothing else, choose to be as intentional as you can. Always with acceptance and compassion for the part of you that forgets how powerful you are.
Start today small, and remind yourself of your power to choose.
Today, remind yourself that you are a powerful person who always has the power to choose.
Just for today, I reclaim my power and create the life I desire. I let go of everything and everyone that no longer serves any purpose in my life. I release them with love. They are now free and I am now free to move forward with love in my heart.
I am powerful and so it is.
