The Power of LOVE . . . Keeping it accessible!

My holiday breaks are probably the best times of my life. The whole concept of me being with me and being with those I love in a full way is what makes it so special to me. I became aware of this in my first week back at work! I could feel the person I was the week before slipping from a place of parking all the good, the connection with LOVE / Core Soul and openness to the great in life towards a person obsessed with tasks, deadlines, creative ways to turn something around and seeing to other's needs.

I found myself constantly asking how do I keep the Power of LOVE accessible to me like it was before I got back to work?

The closer I got to the first day back at work, the more I felt that pit of uneasiness grow in my tummy. I figured it was the fact that it was the kind of work, the sh1tty working environment, the horrible people and the immense defense mechanisms I needed to survive the ordeal. But when I really unpacked the truth, it is more that I was uneasy about losing the person I am! That person that knows gratitude, counting his blessings, treating all people from a place of power and not victim hood / an insecure place! That was more the bottom line when I think about it.

I was tired of being a victim of people's opinions, conclusions on me or reactions or a sh1tty situation!

That is truly not empowering as I see the faces of those people flash past my eyes! When I worked through all the noise, that is what it came down to. I do not enjoy the version of me that operates when I am around those people that seem to have power over me. People that bring out the shadow in me. People that hook me into my insecure place. The people that bring out the BITCH in me! That BITCH that gets it all done but at the cost of taking no prisoners and crushing perceived opponents!

What I have been reminded of this week past is the power of staying plugged in and connected! Staying connected and allowing yourself to remember who you really are goes a long way to keeping your truth accessible! The next question would be, where is it manifested and visible in your immediate surroundings? That being your house, your car, you work desk, the close relationships etc etc

I have seen in my life how I have over complicated my truth with noise. Too many vision boards, affirmations floating around, too much seeking of wisdom, too much theoretical concepts that I was playing with, unpacking and putting back together. It was getting overwhelming and noisy!

I decided to simplify.

I am down to 3 key affirmations on my mirror that support two themes where the highest vibration resonates with my soul at this point in my life. And that has been the bottom line. Working with what is available to me now. I am in the process of wiping my vision board clean and taking the intention of putting on there what resonates and letting it grow from there not merely filling it so a complete picture exists that I can baseline and work with!

I realised the power of consistency!

In there I have found that being grateful, engaging in some exercises that help my mind to calm down or operate and get different perspectives, make it my duty to stay aware and release when I need to, finding ways to remember my truth when reality causes me to forget in those moments when all those powerful decisions get made inside!

I do believe that we are NEVER a victim of another person's agenda or view of the world or even a circumstance. The power they / it has over us is all down to what we have allowed. The beauty is that we can change it around simply by remembering our truth, believing our truth and keeping its song strong.

This week I have kept my truth strong with the following reminders :

• See the truth beyond the person / situation - This exactly what my Leadership Law #1 pointed to. I had a run in with one of my module managers. He was so full of it when I wanted to understand why his area was not progressing forward as it should have been. We had a heated disagreement at first. I knew I handled that as a BITCH! So I set up a follow up meeting. All I asked the Universe (2 minutes before that session) was for help. I remember throughout the day whenever thoughts came up of him and the situation, I kept saying I surrender all , I surrender all! The meeting ended up going very well. I got the truth beyond his behaviour, beyond the area's progress and actually now have the way forward for that! But more importantly, I felt empowered and supported during and after that follow up meeting!



• Surrender it all - This is fairly new to me especially in the professional setting. I am testing this theory currently, but it seems to be coming together nicely. I am beginning to see how all is connected and the Universal Intelligence is far beyond my understanding. All I need do is trust it rather than find a way to see the loop holes in it! With this, I have managed to gather support from my leadership, peers and team on how to move some challenges forward. I have been able to shine my light and have it appreciated by people that are around me. I find that solutions and clues are unfolding in a way that are clearer to me than before.



• Remembering that I am a Child of GOD which makes me DIVINE in all aspects - This is a big thing to believe. That as a child of God, you have divinity at your fingertips, you have guidance, you have support, protection and the next step to bliss! I have discovered Luther Vandross's Power of Love song. Merely listening to that song reminds me of that. It is now the most played song on my iPOD. I am dancing and singing my way to BLISS ;-)

Life will happen. There will be events, situations and people that are there by no coincidence! Your decision is to step closer to your core or step further away. Find ways to remember your truth and who you are! When those moments and situations happen, you are in the positon to deal with it utilising all the best that is within you! That could only mean good news for this world!
