I Empowered Myself!

Self-doubt and lacking confidence are often experienced by people, who reenter the world of employment after an illness or raising their children. 

Such was the mindset of this middle-aged women. She has raised her children.  Now, she has been successful in her job, but her perceptions of herself have lagged behind her accomplishments.  She struggled with accepting her success and the benefits of her success.

She thought she didn’t deserve good things.  She felt she didn’t deserve the accolades and consequences from being successful.

She realized that there was a golden ring in front of her.  She always has been ambivalent about reaching for the ring of opportunity and success. She knew it was there, but she just couldn’t reach out for this ring of success.  She worried and was fearful she couldn’t measure up.  So she remained in an inhibited and fearful comfort zone.

This woman has a very successful daughter, who has grabbed the ring of opportunity.  Her daughter overcome her anxieties and fears to the point she could move across the country, successfully achieve in college and excel in employment.

I asked this woman if she would tell her daughter that she deserved or did not deserve her successes and consequences from her successes?

She immediately said that she would tell her daughter she deserved her successes and the consequences of her successes.  Without a doubt she would tell her daughter to let go of her doubts.and enjoy her successes.

Today, two weeks later from my previous conversation with her, this woman had an air of confidence about her.  She excitedly verbalized "I Empowered Myself".

What she would have told her daughter, she told herself.  She told herself that she deserves her successes in the consequences from her successes.  She has grabbed and taken ownership of the golden ring of opportunity in her life.

She empowered herself.  As soon as she began to believe that she deserved success, she also began to trust herself and enjoy her successes.

Too often, we hold ourselves back from successful self-actualization, because we don’t believe that we deserve more success.  We remain too stuck in old self-perceptions, self affirmations, life scripts and unfulfilled life circumstances.

You can have greater success in your life, once you realize that you deserve more.  Break out of the thought pattern that you don’t deserve more.

Remember, You Live within the Environment Created by Your Choices!
