Confidence and empowerment is much need in our current environment – core confidence that is. If you have built your sense of self upon external opinions and the quicksand of what material possession, job or degree you hold, you may be feeling insecure right now.

I used to be caught in the trap of comparing myself to others. I had “delusions of inferiority” instead of grandeur. I’ve noticed that the story lines are not that varied. Most people spend their lives living much less content and abundant than they need to.

The problem is, we give all of our attention to the external world, to the neglect of our inner Spirit. This is why we don’t feel empowered. We are more than “only human”. Human is fine, and I think we should be grateful to be alive and appreciate the journey.

Yet, if you are not aware of the power of the invisible world, including “thoughts, feelings and emotions”, you will hit all sorts of land mines on the road of life. We tend to only look at the physical. What we do not realize often, is that the physical is that last thing to manifest, meaning, your physical world is formed from the invisible.

Your body believes every thing your mind believes, as they are not separate. If you believe that “life is under pressure”, don’t be surprised if you develop high blood pressure. If you think that people around you are a pain in the neck, don’t be surprised if you have tight neck and shoulders. You may even demonstrate a rigid personality, which could be the source of your aliments!

When we believe that we are at the mercy of people places and circumstances, we unconsciously keep our attention on what we don’t want, who we don’t like and “if only” something outside of ourselves would change – then we could be happy.

Well, don’t hold your breath, because you will not be long on the planet.
