4 Ways to Be Yourself

My sister gave me a beautiful necklace as a gift. She admitted that the words on the box swayed her purchase. It read “There is no better gift you can give the world then to be the person you dream you can be.” Inspiring words, but how do you do that? How do you release the real you? Here are some ideas:

1. Acknowledge that your secret desires of who you can be are the Universe’s way of knocking on your heart, offering to open the door to the potential inside of you.

2. Remember that you are unique. Divinity gave you a special talent that only you can manifest. It is your life purpose to develop that potential.

3. Visualize yourself the way you desire to be. What would that look like? What would it feel like? How would you act? Spend time examining those visions until you feel comfortable with them.

4. Act as though you already were that person. Because you are! It’s inside, waiting to be manifested on the outside. It’s as simple as BEING.

It may seem like an overwhelming transformation, but the journey starts with small steps.

How to Connect to Your Higher Power

When we plug into the energy of the Universe, we share in the attributes of our Higher Power. What once seemed mundane and meaningless, now has purpose. We have an inner compass that guides us along our journey. But how do we connect to our Higher Power?

1. Become aware that you are one with the all powerful Universe. Just like your thumb is part of your hand, your being is part of a Higher Being.

2. Live life from a place of love, not fear. Love every individual and situation as part of the greater Being, just as your fingers and thumb coexist harmoniously as part of your hand.

3. Live in the present moment. Your Higher power exists only in the present moment. When you venture into the past or future, you’ve lost the connection.

4. Be a conduit for the attributes of your Higher Power. Express the love, light, peace, joy, abundance, creativity, and other positive attributes that flow through you as you put your ego aside.

5. Express gratitude for your connection to your Higher Power. What we’re thankful for increases and continues to manifest.
