Are you a prisoner of your perspectives or do they set you free?

How we live this question is what tells us if we are living an empowered or disempowered life. Our beliefs are perspectives of truth. We choose them. Some are formed subconsciously as they are passed from generation to generation and others gathered along the way.

When we become accountable and responsible for how we are choosing to live based on our beliefs, we open the door to be set free. When we understand the words of the Serenity Prayer: God, grant me the SERENITY to ACCEPT the things I cannot change, COURAGE to change the things I can, and WISDOM to KNOW the difference… we gain the power to empower our lives.

When I learned to hold myself accountable and responsible for the things I can change, my focus became on changing me. I changed my perceptions, thoughts, actions, and responses to align with the life I wanted to be living.

I live empowered because I know I can’t change anyone else, so the questions become— what can I do now? How can I best project the energy of love, abundance, and peace to the world? Knowing that I ALWAYS have the power to educate myself, expand my thoughts, and shift with the moment has helped me to pivot during these challenging times. I’m not scared to be me, and that is because I’m aligning with the energy I want to project.

I hold myself accountable and responsible for the choices I make today. I will represent the energy of love, abundance, and peace in my thoughts, beliefs, actions, and responses to others to the best of my ability in the moment. Some moments I will do better than others.

I will forgive myself when I stumble and fall. I will not participate in self-abuse emotionally or physically. I will honor, respect, and protect myself, so that I show others how to treat me.

When we give ourselves back the power that is ours—We are free! We understand that when we work on our internal world, our external reality shifts. It truly is a miraculous thing.

When you can say, believe, and live by these statements—you are living an empowered life.

I’m RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for:

• The energy I exude
• How I feel
• What I think, believe, and perceive
• How I act towards others
• How I respond to others

And most of all, I’m responsible and accountable for how I treat myself.

Today’s Aligning

Love

Today, I commit to empowering myself.

It’s important to figure out what this statement means to you personally and figure out how you will do this today.

Abundance

I’m grateful for the choice to live an empowered life.

What does this mean to you? Even if you don’t feel like you are doing it right now, be in gratitude for the choice to do it when you are ready.

Peace

Sit and breathe in your empowerment: This is my life. I’m responsible and accountable for making my life one I’m proud of. I’m ready to live in the energy of love, abundance, and peace right now.

With Love, Abundance, and Peace,
