How do I live empowered and free?
Just before we dive into the big answer I have for you,
And it's both a practical and a spiritual answer,
I'd like to share with you a chapter from my upcoming book,
The Book of Love.
This chapter is titled Solid Ground.
Solid ground represents confidence and the conviction you need to live of right emotions and grace.
You can rise above what you have been taught to live by the most remarkable means.
Life and all of its perfect authority wields comfort in the certainty of truth,
The imprint of salvation,
The perfection of hope and understanding that fills you with the wondrous feelings of certainty that you are enough.
You have risen to a new level in your ability to be of ever-present goodness,
Kindness,
Just action,
And the highest moral ground.
It's an excerpt,
But I feel like it really speaks to what self-empowerment is as a living,
Breathing concept,
And I do hope that if you are listening,
You are on a journey of truly living empowered and being in charge of that yourself.
Let me show you how.
Self-empowerment is a collective of the many ways that you live and hold your power.
Power is autonomy.
It is self-reliance and self-respect.
Self-empowerment is the willingness to live awake and aware so that you continue to demonstrate the qualities and attributes that reflect the highest moral ground.
In seeking to be and live in a way that exemplifies all of the best qualities and attributes that you aspire,
And that demonstrates an ongoing,
Ever-present value system that upholds and uplifts conscious authority.
In presence of real-world experiences,
You live self-empowered as you are always willing to learn and allow life's experiences to be the positive catalyst of your confidence and evolution,
To overcome all that happens to you,
And to hold yourself in high regard.
Not of ego,
Rather the autonomy that is founded as you place value and importance on your life and all that you seek to become.
Self-empowerment is the propensity for examining and challenging old beliefs that need to crumble and fall away,
In place of what is true,
What inspires you,
What is liberating,
And what holds yourself in high regard,
Rather than self-judgment.
To live self-empowered is to be autonomous,
To enjoy one's own company,
To seek this,
To travel inward in self-reflection,
Meditation,
Prayer,
Introspection,
To find one's own answers,
And to realize that you hold the greatest source of wisdom that you will ever know.
Self-empowerment is the ideal mechanism for self-governance and living authentic and free.
Hold yourself responsible for your life and how you react to everything that shows up.
Self-empowerment is to see the good in all situations,
Be open to what challenges you to grow.
Rely on yourself first for your happiness.
Your true success is a measure of who you are,
Rather than what people and society tell you you should do or have or be.
Self-empowerment is the liberation of your heart all towards the miracles of life you seek,
All towards the faithful calling of love that inspires to you a most beautiful path of everything.
It is the embodiment of goodness towards all that you seek and all that is here and before you.
If you want to know self-empowerment,
You must first be willing to live in your truth,
In complete self-honesty,
For to live of your authentic power is to live true to yourself.
Self-empowerment requires the complete autonomy of self-responsibility and all in the balance of life's gestures towards all that you can be.
Your potential is infinite.
This will always encourage the metaphors of light and the presence of grace that becomes your majesty.
Self-discovery and self-knowledge begins with the eternal,
With the facets of being that is your wonderment and light and all towards the sacred ground of forever that lives in your heart and all for you.
In self-empowerment,
You recognize that there are no limits to living in the space of oneness with the God Source and that you have everything you need to be remarkable,
Unstoppable,
And to live of your true power.
Infinite power is the pact that you make with yourself to always live of your highest good,
To always live of your light,
And to be love in action and in all moments gracefully.
Self-empowerment embodies a spiritual path of which you realize that your power is love,
Love of all beings,
And love of yourself.
There's an exercise I share with you here which I feel is invaluable as you build a life to which you live self-empowered.
Build a relationship of love with and of yourself for all of the miracles you seek live here.
First go inward.
Identify what moments are true empowerment.
Hold these as kind words and reminders to yourself.
Imagine a life where you live of your greatness as love and all for the betterment of you.
You can begin with a question,
The question,
What empowers me?
Make a list.
Let it be a reminder and a north star of what is important in your life and what inspires your ability to live empowered,
Aware,
Free.
If you would like my help on this sweet and important journey,
Just reach out to me.
There are moments in our life,
In the course of our life,
Where we need to reclaim our power.
We recognize we've lost it along the way,
It's been tarnished,
It's been taken away.
We've been taught to believe that we don't have as much power as we do.
All of these contribute to living in the shadow of ourself.
I'm asking you to embrace all of your power.
Thank you so much for listening.
This is Dorothy Zanori Chuno.
Namaste.
