Why would so many people feel so helpless in many situations in their lives? In life we encounter several situations where we have to make decisions and these decisions oftentimes lead us astray. It’s okay to make mistakes or make wrong decisions, this is part of being human but we are lucky despite the wrong decisions we had made in the past because we are also equipped with the ability to correct them and to turn away from the path of total destruction. We have the ability to catapult from poverty, from abusive relationships, and from any problematic life situations where we ourselves brought into our lives because of wrong decisions. We have to take responsibility of any situations we are suffering instead of blaming other people or anyone else even ourselves. We made the wrong decisions, we made mistakes because that was the only way we can see in the moment but it won’t make things better if we blame ourselves or others. The best thing to do is to acknowledge the mistake, forgive yourself and others then change your flow of thinking, your habits and the direction of your life.

I just had a conversation yesterday, with one of my best friends and ex co-teacher Violy. In that conversation she said to me “I had noticed even long time ago that you can make impossible things possible for you.” This statement is not just from her, all my best friends in the past would really think that I have the ability to change my life. Like so many people I had been into situations where problems in all areas attacked me because of wrong decisions but when I discovered that I have a power within me that can change my life’s direction everything changed easily. All of us has this power within us that turns the impossible to possible; you just have to discover those powers and activate it.

Do you want to change a situation in your life or change the total condition of your life? Then here are some suggestions:
1. Remember you are a soul and this soul is powerful to create miracles in your life;
2. Acknowledge the bad situation that trap you such as poverty, joblessness, abusive relationship among others;
3. Activate the power that lies dormant within you.

The question remains, how do I activate this power within me to better my life?

Before answering this question let me tell me experience just this week with a typical white American young lady. She was my unexpected visitor a couple days ago, the girlfriend of the handyman who worked in our lawn and fence for cash. I invited the lady inside the house because she was just in their car while the boyfriend was working. I had a good conversation with her, she told me about her four children who have two different fathers and the many situations that are really troublesome up to the present, she is actually 42 years old now and she continues to make mistakes in her life. When I asked how do you find life here in your beloved America she answered “boring!”

Poverty and bad life condition are not determined by relationships and the place where one lives. Why are they poor in this very rich country? Many young Filipina ladies would risk destroying their reputation by marrying an old American guy just so they can come to America and start building their lives whereas this born American lady is suffering from poverty and finds life so boring. Bad life conditions are the results of the mental attitudes and orientations of an individual therefore it’s a person’s responsibility to change his life’s destiny by starting the changes from within…activate your inner power, only you can do it.

Here are some suggestions to activate your power.
1. Acknowledge the presence of your soul within you by this affirmation; I am a precious soul;
2. Have constant and consistent sincere conversations with your soul in the form of affirmations;
3. Converse with your soul daily, even in thoughts only, give it positive words such as faith, abundance, beauty, happy, success and the likes;
4. Discard negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones;
5. Pay attention to your feelings and honor your desires.
