Soul Eclipse

“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility”.  - Eleanor Roosevelt

Everything you create or don’t create in your life - comes from CHOICE.

You must understand and embrace this fundamental essence of power.

When you feel that you are not in control of your own destiny, you are disempowering yourself. The freedom we should experience in life is the understanding that we choose everything! Even in our “inaction” there is a choice.

You may justify your situation by saying things like, “I can’t do anything to change my circumstances”, “there is nothing I can do”, “I had no choice” etc. But this type of reasoning is based upon a false belief system. You can choose to allow the world outside to affect the way you see your situation - but; there is NEVER any situation in which you do not have power of choice.

We must also understand that with every choice we make, there is a consequence as well as an energetic price to be paid. You see, it’s not that you don’t have a choice - you are only choosing which energetic price to pay.

If you are currently in a situation that makes you unhappy, you can make several choices.

You can choose to stay because you are too fearful of change, of the present economic state or whether you would find another means of income. Here the price for your choice is a continued feeling of unhappiness, lethargy, depression and discontentment; it won’t be long before it starts to affect other areas of your life as well as those around you.

You can choose to stay by changing the energy of the way you see your situation. By using a simple empowering thought you can dramatically change the way you see your and perceive your current situation. “I will stay in this job, because it is providing me with an income, I will keep my eyes open for other opportunities and know that this is a temporary situation, I can always make another choice at some other time - I am Not Trapped!”

You can choose to leave with the understanding that you are a creative and resourceful person who is always on the lookout for opportunities. It won’t be that difficult to secure a steady income. Looking from the outside this looks as though it could be the most “expensive” choice in terms of energy. But, on another level it is not. What is required however, is a strong belief in self and profound courage.

In these three examples I have given, the first two are actually the most “expensive” choices. Because to continue to live or work under such circumstances will eventually rob you of you “Life force” the less conflicting and gentler of the two is the second choice, but the most daring, magical and dapper is the last.

This wisdom of choice is also applicable to relationships (romantic or platonic)

You can continue to remain in an abusive, stagnant and unhappy relationship. You may continue to complain about how unhappy and miserable you are and how you cannot leave the relationship for various reasons. You can continue to make excuses and justify your circumstances- yet; all the while you will continue to live in pain, anxiety and unhappiness. You can choose to dream about what else there is in life for you outside, and never give yourself the opportunity to explore the possibilities. The price for this choice is un-measurable.

You can choose to stay in the relationship with an attitude of “I love this person and I choose to communicate that to them to help bring about the needed changes. I choose to focus on the positive qualities of our relationship and allow that to be my guide. After a period of time has passed, If I am still unhappy and can see that there is no change to the present situation, then I can choose again“.

In having this type of attitude, you are empowering yourself by knowing that you are staying because it is YOUR CHOICE- not because you have no other options available.

You can choose to leave the relationship with the understanding that there will be some pain and discomfort for a while. You may even at times feel sad, lonely and fearful, but will soon you will have an undeniable sense of freedom. Your level of negative thoughts and feelings, as well as your anxiety will slowly diminish, making room for a higher life of affirming attitudes and energy. Your affirmation would be “I am choosing to leave this relationship because it is not contributing positively to my joy and ultimate happiness. I am aware that it will be painful in the beginning- but, I know there are millions of other people out there as well as numerous opportunities to meet new friends and finally my soul mate”.

When you use the words choose or choice in affirmation, or in your thought life and prayer life. You are realigning yourself for success. You begin to act and think differently, you whole outlook on life, situations and circumstances, take on a more constructive and positive energy. There is so much power and magic in the understanding of this dynamic.

This principle is also applicable to things that you feel are “missing” in your life. You want to start and grow a business, be prosperous, have a new job or relationship yet you see nothing is manifesting in your life. You CHOOSE how you see the situation. You make a conscious choice on how you are going to get to the place you want to be. Statements like, “I will never work for myself, I don’t have the means to create my own business”, “I will never find a good job”, “I will never meet my soul mate”, “I will always be poor”, “I will never achieve anything in life” - All this reinforces the CHOICE to create more of the same.

You should choose creative and life affirming statements and thinking habits, and be amazed at the positive results it brings in your life.

I choose to take the steps necessary for creating my own business, I choose to immerse myself in the knowledge and learning I need to be successful in my career. I choose to put all my energy into creating the life that I desire.

I choose to KNOW an ACCEPT that there is a wonderful abundance of potential life partners and friends in the world for me. I choose to attract people who I enjoy being with. I choose not to allow people to control how I feel about myself.

I choose to LOVE those around me unconditionally.

I choose to embrace COURAGE and PERSISTENCY in my life.

I choose HEALTH and VITALITY.

I choose to FEEL GOOD.

I choose to have an ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE.
