Your past can IMPRISON you or EMPOWER you!
I’m becoming so aware of the ways that I’ve allowed my past to IMPRISON me, especially where ABUNDANCE is concerned.
Since I met Jami, he’s always said, “Babe, you have the Midas Touch” and every time he’d say it, in my mind, I’d silently say back to him, “yes, BUT you don’t understand … I’m not REALLY abundant. Other people are really abundant, not me.”
Is there a “Yes, BUT …” in your life?
I was holding on TIGHTLY to a way that I thought I was in LACK and NOT ENOUGH. I was raised to “hold on” to the abundance that we did have so that it wouldn’t “run out”. My mom judged those who lived an abundant life. I wanted her love and approval, so I stayed LOYAL to HER beliefs rather than taking the risk to embody MY OWN beliefs.
Can you relate?
Are there ways that you’re STAYING LOYAL to someone else’s beliefs? Staying loyal to your past?
When I began to give myself the love and the approval that I was looking for from my mom, I began to give myself permission to live by my own beliefs rather than being loyal to her beliefs.
Little by little, I risked.
I spent money the way that was true to ME, risking my mom’s judgment and disapproval.
I learned to spend money on myself, even when it was so much easier to spend it on everyone else but me.
I became EMPOWERED. EMPOWERED by the very same past that once IMPRISONED me.
My past didn’t change. I DID.
When I learned to love, approve and accept myself, the door to the prison of my past opened and now, I’m EMPOWERED by that very same past!
What from your past do you need to let go of in order to step fully into your POWER?
In order to step into your AUTHENTIC SELF? Let me know! I’d love to hear!
Much love,
