“Empower Myself” Blog #135
Do I get down, am I sad a lot with my hope running out?
Searching inside myself, am I feeling no answers left?
How can I empower myself, when I just want to sleep away the day?
Every single one of us have been so sad, so lonely and so lost, there seem to be no way
out. Yet, I finally decided once I was there, this is an ILLUSION! Fear is behind it all and fear
is simply this: FALSE EVENTS APPEARING REAL. There is nothing at the bottom of my most
empty thought! So Now I pick myself UP AND START OVER AGAIN.
IT MATTERS NOT MY AGE,WHAT MATTERS IS MY WILL TO CONVINCE MYSELF TO GO ON…
Years ago during World War Two, Winston Churchill gave one of his most famous
speeches. He spoke of never giving up and he delivered this at Harrow School on October
29, 1941. This was a time when England was most threatened by Hitler. England was being
bombed again and again. People were losing hope. Winston Churchills speech is most
remembered for these lines that start, “never give in, never give in, never, never, never -
in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor
and good sense”.
Churchill gave this powerful speech to inspire people and remind people a nation and ITS
PEOPLE MUST FIGHT ON IN THE FACE OF OVERWHELMING DEFEAT! This is what I believe about
my OWN life regardless of what has ever happened to me to try to bring me down. IT
MATTERS NOT what happened to me yesterday , I HAVE TODAY. I will not just survive, I WILL
THRIVE. I have made myself a promise to get angry with “complacency, depression and
dread”. I can go forward because I have a BRAND NEW DAY IN FRONT OF ME. I AM LEARNING
TO LOVE MYSELF FOR WHO I AM, PERIOD. This awareness is brilliant because ONLY LOVE can
empower self.
There is something IMMEDIATE that happens to a person when one gets in touch with their
“INNER CORE CONVICTION, CONFIDENCE AND CLARITY”. BRAVERY SHOWS UP.
CONFIDENCE KICKS IN. INNER GUIDANCE SUDDENLY SHOWS A PERSON “LOVE IS THE
ANSWER”. Finding love inside me is powerful. The love I feel for myself FOR “KEEPING ON,
KEEPING ON”. My inner respect is building day by day. I am strong in the face of ALL
DARKNESS. I love Jesus Christ, my life has purpose. I do not fear being alone, for I am
never alone! I do not fear failing because Jesus shows me a new way daily! Regardless of
where I am at, my mind is guided by the LIGHT OF CHRIST I refuse to live in fear, remorse,
and darkness! In my life I look at all my DISAPPOINTMENT AS THE FUEL NEEDED TO DESTROY
SELF-WORTH. I am finally seeing the art of FORGIVENESS is so freeing! The more I forgive
others and especially myself, the more I find LOVE for myself and others. Forgiving myself
now, I see my life gets better. This then is the “Turning Point” to EMPOWERING MYSELF WITH
LOVE.
I believe one of the main reasons Jesus came to earth and became ONE of us was to
experience OUR life with HIS love, forgiveness and mercy for mankind. This fact alone
inspires me to want to become more humble. (Give those around me who I am so
judgmental of “a break”, stop judging!!) I am also going easier on “judging myself”. My
heart is opening faster and bringing in the LOVE I so desperately need for myself and
others. The more I learn to love myself, the more I empower myself!
Thus, it is my own HUMILITY I now feel. I can see this only DOOR where Jesus reaches my
heart, and comes through. As I ask for HIS help today, the Christ Energy pours down upon
me. Only HE gives me “an understanding heart” (I pray for this daily). Then little by little
more Christ energy to empower me and filling me up daily.
So It’s here - I stop for a moment to say a few words about “each of us”. I know life can be
so bleak it has appeared impossible to see the light. You might being reading this and say:
“You have no idea what I am going through….” I say, “No I do not”. I can only speak for
myself. I could sit here all day long and give examples of my terror and nightmarish
situations and dark paths I have traveled down, only because I insisted on doing it ALONE!.
Yet, this is where I MUST share a tremendous truth, EACH OF US IS GIVEN OUR OWN SET OF
CIRCUMSTANCES TO DEAL WITH AND LEARN FROM. FOR IT IS THROUGH OUR TRIALS AND
TRIBULATIONS GROWTH MIRACULOUSLY HAPPENS INTERNALLY. Each of us is GIVEN ‘FREE WILL’
SO WE ALWAYS HAVE CHOICE. IF WE DO NOT CHOOSE TO CALL ON OUR INNER WISDOM OF
CHRIST ENERGY, LIFE GETS TOUGHER. I FIRMLY BELIEVE EACH OF US IS HERE TO DO THE WORK
WE CAME HERE TO DO. YES, I AM EXPECTED TO ENJOY LIFE, YET IT IS ONLY THROUGH MY PAIN
WHERE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE MOST GROWTH. I AM NOT HERE TO TRY TO TELL MYSELF OVER
AND OVER, “I will figure it out somehow ALONE”. Once again, I AM ASKED to embrace the
energy of Jesus Christ who waits inside each of us! I know through my pain came the
promise of HIS love, light and truth. I accept this, I do. I want to keep learning as.I know I still
have a lot of work to do.
Ernest Hemingway said it best when he wrote the lines for the following:;
“WISDOM”
Before you Act - Listen
Before you React - Think
Before you spend - Earn
Before you criticize - Wait
Before you Pray - Forgive
Before you Quit …. Try, Try, and Try again and again
