Who is in charge?
In 2023 who was running the show in your life? Your parents, spouse/partner, children, workplace, friends, TV, Nightclubs, Social Media ir is it you?? Have the lifestyle you wanted in your life mapped out or are you still trying to figure things out? Well, everyday and every year you get to choose who is charge, my advice, choose you!
Many a time we think that we are in charge of our lives and then one day wake up and discover that actually, something or someone else is actually in charge of some aspect of our lives or running a portion of it.
With the amount of outlets that impact us daily, it feels we are literally overdosing on information from a variety of sources that do not create the impact in our life that is truly desired. Why is being 100% present in your own life so difficult nowadays? Many people are not taking charge or even understanding that it’s your life! It’s not titled ‘My life’ by accident. How many decisions do you make decisively, irrespective if they are big or small? Who influences your dress sense? When a senior person, in the workplace, suggests you should do X or Y to be recognised, how many people follow the advice? Advice from someone who can see your potential is so powerful in terms of bringing to the surface the skills that you do well. However, you may live your life and be on autopilot to even be aware of the greatness that lies within you. I know I’ve succumbed to a respected boss’s request of me furthering my career based on their recommendation. Believe me, it has been a game changer and I am grateful that someone took the time to support me on my journey to where I wanted to be but in some instances, wasn’t 100% sure I could achieve it. This, my friend, is called the mere-exposure effect. The effect is recognised as a psychological phenomenon that provides a view of people developing the inclination for experiences, objects, or sometimes people simply because they are accustomed to them, in one way or another.
The next time you make a decision, once done, please ask yourself, ‘who made this decision and who is 100% responsible for the outcome.’ The struggle for most of us is being accountable and recognising the impact of the decisions made. Regardless of the out, the result will indicate the direction you need to take. Life is about adapting and being open. Being agile will change your life and shift you in the direction you are working towards when manifesting the dream life, on your terms.
As we continue to evolve we have to start really taking stock of our lives in complete totality. When we do this, our level of conscious living arises. Living consciously will make you unrecognisible to the people familiar who experience you in a particular way. Simply know that rather than being in a place that makes you reactionary, you shift into a place of being responsive, which tends to make every encounter more pleasurable in one aspect or another. Your presence encourages accountability for every aspect of your life. The power you evoke within when your consciousness is at the forefront of everything you do is not just transformative to you but for those around you to. Be the light or change you want to see in the world (Mahatma Ghandi).
When you feel in complete control mentally, emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually, your consciousness is now in charge. Live your true life from the inside out, it’s the best place to operate from and take charge!
Wishing you a new you, and an amazing New Year as you take complete charge of your life.
Much Love,
