Quote of the Day – February 2 2013

“We tend to disempower ourselves. We tend to believe that we don’t matter. And in the act of taking that idea to ourselves we give everything away to somebody else, to something else.”
― Terence McKenna

 

Why do people feel so disempowered? We carry so much inside of us and have so much potential to create beauty, our lives, the lives of others and still we tell ourselves that others have the ultimate power over us. Have you ever told someone they messed up your life? Have you  ever thought it? I know I have and it took me years to realize that I was giving them power that they never had. We build our own lives. Yes, we have been influenced by our parents, by our educational systems, by the media and by society itself but we NEED to claim our own power now. We can create magic. If we don’t like the lives we live, we can change them. No one said it was easy but we have that power.
I wish to learn how to help people claim their power. I see so many people thinking they need something special to do it when it is a matter of choice usually. I hear people say derisively “What about starving children, do they choose to starve? Can they just choose to eat?” I know the answer to that is no and that’s gutting. There are too many other factors at work. Are there ways to empower them beyond their starving? Most probably and I wish I had those answers. Let’s ask the questions and work together to figure them out. But first, if you are not starving, if you are not sick or in jail then claim the power you can claim. If you’re unhappy change it. We live in a world of abundance. The more we can change ourselves and claim our power, the more we make it easier for others to claim theirs. First tho, we need to make a difference in our own lives.
Blessings, G
