I want to sum up this week with one overall theme/lesson: we are 100% in control of our lives.  We set our goals, we decide who we surround ourselves with, we choose how we spend our time/our purpose, we chose what serves our purpose, and we find ways to get where we need to go/what we want.  Life truly isn’t that complicated in the grand scheme of things.  There are certainly things that challenge us, but so much of what we do is determined by our thoughts, decisions, and actions.  This world is magic and responds to the frequencies we put out and even more so to the actions we take.  We can talk all we want to, we can wrestle feelings and choices, but the bottom line is our follow through is what determines the end result.  It’s about our choices—everything from what we eat to who we surround ourselves with and what our environment looks like.  While life isn’t about controlling anything, we are absolutely in control of how we feel and respond and the choices we make. There isn’t much we can control in this world but we can decide what we do with what we have and we can choose the path we take.   

I never said the burdens that come with choice are easy to carry, but the direction and what we need to carry certainly become clearer and more defined when we decide.  As humans it’s easy to attach our emotions to the outcome of a situation—I know I spent a ton of time choosing to protect myself and not going for the goal because I didn’t want to be perceived as a failure.  It felt like my mistakes were in the spotlight.  The truth is we highlight our own mistakes and they only define us if we let them.  The truth is also that we don’t have to do the same thing as everyone else so if people talk, it’s more indicative of their fears than our abilities.  We are in control of the burden we carry and choosing our path.  Those things alone determine the course of our lives.  Life will throw challenges at us no matter what we choose but we are in total control of how we respond to them.  Always remember the power that comes with choice and alignment.  The further we stray from our truth, the more resistance we face.  Don’t try and control all the variables, simply decide to stay the course and take it as it comes—the results are made in those moments.
