Be Your Own Authority

It's not true what you've heard. Those who say you can't accomplish what you're passionate to achieve, and that you shouldn't even bother trying. Or those that remind you of others that are already doing something like what you've got in mind. As if it were true, there's only so much room for success.

Too long the critics and critical voices have dominated our thinking, and left us in a semi powerless state.

Somewhere between I might and I'll try.

That way of thinking and I became good friends. I always knew if I didn't finish something, or shied away from accomplishing my goal, my inner critic would applaud me and remind me to take a seat.

Are you with me on this?
How many times have we believed others have our answers?
How many times have we thought something, kept it to ourself, only to find out that we did know!
How much of our passion has been lost by sharing our vision with those who judge us, rather than empower us?

Question is, how much longer will you hold back? No one will know about your authority if you keep quiet. Time to venture out. Step up to the plate. Take a few swings. Pretty soon you'll find comfort holding your own. It takes patience with yourself, and a safe place to let your gifts unfold.

Life needs cheerleaders. Those who understand that encouragement breeds greatness. In the presence of those who see us as whole, complete and blooming, we flower. Surround yourself with kindness, even if you know just one source. Visit it often. This acceptance will open you up to YOUR voice, YOUR Wisdom. YOUR Authority within.
