Lately I’ve been noticing how much focus I’ve been putting on the external world. Like if something good happens then I can be happy, and not the other way around; I am happy -> I notice all the good already in my life, or good things come to me.

Sometimes I find myself struggling with being happy when nothing fun and exciting is happening. I have been dependent on the outside world to be a certain way in order to be fully content. Hence, now learning to shift my mindset to just being, happy and content with what is, no matter what happens.

”I am exactly where I need to be right now.” – a favorite mantra of mine. Effortlessly existing without the need to chase anything. What is meant for us will come to us, as long as we stay open and take aligned action. However, being patient, is not my strength. Always wanting things to happen now, or even better, yesterday... But I’ve noticed that when I’m consistent with my daily habits I feel more grounded and at peace, as these habits bring a sense of security and safety. I think the external world will always be a bit unpredictable, since constant change is part of it. Nothing ever stays the same as things, nature, humans are constantly evolving and transforming. And while it may feel daunting, at the same time, it’s the beauty of experiencing this life. That’s why it’s so important that we cherish each moment, and hold them close to our hearts.

We can’t control how other people will react towards us, or every circumstance that is brought to us, but we can control our own reactions. There lies an immense power within us, and sometimes it feels that we do not take advantage of our own power, but easily give that power away to someone else. Sorry my language; but how stupid is that…? Isn’t it about time that we take our power back? Our power to choose. And our power to live, exactly how we wish to live. It’s our birthright after all.

I love to connect with my higher self, she is always so calm, wise and joyful. Gracefully grounded. She always seems to have all the answers, she does not stress and she is certain that all is well in her life. She is filled with love, towards herself and others, and she does not care if she is not liked by all. She knows her strengths and weaknesses, and she is not afraid to grow and challenge herself.

And then, I’m suddenly reminded; She is not disconnected from me, she is always here, cause I am here. I am her.
