Who do we see when we look into the mirror? Do we see ourselves as a curious child of the world, or do we see ourselves old and weathered by the world? How we look at ourselves and our circumstances can change how we label the problems in our lives. If we wake up each day and see the world as we did the day before, nothing will change or improve. And if we keep expecting someone else to show up with the answers, we’ll never come up with a solution on our own. If we see ourselves as limited, incapable, or doomed, then that’s what we become.
But when we connect with our inner knowing –personal power– we can decide who we want to be and forge our own path fueled with our own answers. Instead of seeing our problems, frustrations, and negative events as something that needs to be fixed, we can learn to see them as room for growth. We don’t have to see the negativities of the world as something that’s being done to us. We can see everything in our lives as something that’s there for us.
While it might not seem like it, we do have a choice whether we see problems or solutions -questions or answers. We can choose to wake up each day with a sense of newness and openness to ourselves and the day that lies ahead. Once we trust that we have everything we need within us, then we’ll discover the answers that are meant just for us.
