There was a time in my life when I felt completely at the mercy of my circumstances. No matter how hard I tried, it felt like life was just happening to me, and I had little to no control over it. I would wake up with a sense of dread, feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, drained by certain people, and unsure of how to change anything.
I convinced myself that if only other people would change, if only life would go a little easier on me, then I’d finally feel happy and free. But that day never came. And the more I looked outside myself for answers, the more powerless I felt.
One day, I had a realization that shook me: I was waiting for something outside of me to change, but I wasn’t changing anything within myself.
That’s when I started asking myself a different question: What if I am more powerful than I think?
The Shift That Changed Everything!
I made a commitment to start seeing myself as a creator rather than a victim. This wasn’t easy at first—believe me, I had years of conditioning that told me otherwise. But I knew if I wanted my life to change, it had to start with me.
So, I began a daily practice that was so simple, yet so powerful: I affirmed my own ability to create my reality.
I would wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and say: I am the creator of my life. My thoughts and emotions shape my reality, and I choose to create something beautiful.
And at first? I didn’t believe it. Not really. But I kept saying it anyway. I kept reminding myself that no matter what was going on around me, I always had a choice—a choice in how I responded, what I focused on, and what I believed about myself.
Taking Back My Power, One Thought at a Time.
Little by little, I started catching myself when my thoughts were spiraling into negativity. I would pause and ask: Is this thought supporting the life I want to create? What if I chose a different perspective?
And you know what happened? Life started shifting.
I stopped feeling drained by certain people because I no longer gave them the power to affect my energy.
I started noticing opportunities that had always been there—I had just been too caught up in self-doubt to see them.
I felt lighter, freer, more in control. And the best part? I didn’t need anyone or anything to change to feel that way.
You Are More Powerful Than You Think!
I share this because I know how easy it is to feel stuck, to feel like life is happening to you instead of through you. But I also know that the moment you decide to reclaim your power, everything shifts.
So, I want to ask you: Do you truly believe you are a powerful creator? Or, are you still waiting for something outside of you to change before you believe it?
Because the truth is—you already are the creator of your life. You always have been. The only question is, are you willing to start acting like it?
f you are, start today. Remind yourself: I have the power to choose my thoughts, and my thoughts shape my reality. Say it. Believe it. Live it.
Because I promise you—once you step into that truth, your whole life will change.
