Too often we forget that it takes courage to live a powerful life on purpose. Many people realize that everything in our lives comes to us via the universal law of attraction�i.e. you have attracted everything, all the people, every experience, your work and your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual challenges. What ARE you attracting in your life?
Once you accept that the universal law of attraction is functioning without fail, you can step into a space where you take complete responsibility for your entire life�it is a highly self-empowering place to be. When you take responsibility for everything in your life you have the power to change it. If you refuse or fail to take responsibility�your life is outside your sphere of control. Think about that! Let those words be a source of awakening and thus empowerment.
This takes a leap of courage, but once you take it, life begins to flow easier�more effectively and with less angst. You will then see all experiences�good and bad�as part of your personal path of emotional and spiritual evolution. With this awareness you can begin to create your experiences instead of reacting. You learn where and how in your life you have been moving in the opposite direction of the experiences you desire to create.
As your eyes open to all your power, you will understand that much of what you learned about how to navigate in this world is convoluted and sometimes �backwards.� For instance, you will realize the traits of honesty, integrity and impeccability make it much easier to create the life you have dreamed about. Whereas you might have adopted the belief that �an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth� serves to create an even playing field. Or that some sort of vengeance�no matter how minor�is required to maintain honor. That some people have �all the luck� and others don�t.
Heart-centered actions like honorable intentions, compassion and non-attachment keeps you squarely on the path of awareness and consciously steering your course in life, and these are the places where you need to embody courage. In spite of others� beliefs, you can stay on a course of honorable intention, compassion and non-attachment.
When you remain centered in and use these qualities, you will move against the flow of the majority of people in this world. When you take responsibility for creating your life through the universal law of attraction and karma, you will find that you need to shed your past programming and then be willing to operate differently than the majority of people. This takes a lot of courage, courage at a cosmic level.
As you navigate at this cosmic level�the universe responds and you will see through direct experience that life goes much smoother when you operate from a different vibration than the majority. Thus, as the universe responds it makes it easier for you to have the courage to engage life differently and say no to your old programming when it shows up. You can move past any fears and the old behaviors and paradigms of aggression, competition or an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
The beginning of a New Year is a traditional time for reflection and giving gratitude. We reflect on the last year and all the things for which we are thankful. We contemplate the changes we would like to make�sometimes making New Year�s Resolutions.
Begin your New Year by giving yourself credit for having the courage to walk impeccably in this world; for accomplishing all that you have. As you contemplate your path this year, remember to ask for the cosmic courage to be a light in this world through the universal law of attraction. An amazing flow of awareness will follow.
