The Powers That Be

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"There are powers inside of you, which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become."... Orison Swett Marden

There are powers inside of each of us, which enable us to achieve personal excellence. An almost magical energy really does exists, but it won't automatically rescue or enlighten. Utilization of it is only an option unless we deem otherwise. Finding it only takes the looking, tapping into it uses less effort than most personal growth exercises, and controlling its direction just takes practice. And the rewards are swift, certain, and priceless.

A bit of digging will locate the mother-load then it's only practice that separates a nervous novice from a pro in total control. We cannot dictate every event in our lifetime, but we can certainly direct our own actions and reactions to any given situation. We don't always... but until we give it our best every time we cannot know real peace. With every attempt we grow stronger and an almost sacred quiet begins to settle deep inside.

Sometimes altering a drama just isn't possible, yet changing our attitude toward it is a natural way of readjusting the dynamics of the dramatics. It's our own perceptions which cast us into the role of victim or hero. We each choose to either survive or thrive, falling short of the latter just means we willingly settled for the former. Possessing the power isn't enough, mastering its use, then using it wisely is only reached by way of a path that travels straight through our core.

Fact... hard fact... yet bitter-sweet because so very few of us truly tap into it and almost none take it to the furthest point we can reach. The heights we could scale on a path so crowded with positives is well above our capacity to imagine. But owning a joy so rich is well worth any agony it takes to earn it.

Awareness liberates us in ways nothing else ever could; admitting our weaknesses is only part of the formula, acknowledging our strengths is every bit as important. We create our reality by word... then deed, if it's not a comfortable fit then re-creation is well within our power. Think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
