Who Were You Then, Who Are You Now

I was looking in an old photo album for my school certificates and I caught sight of photos of me at 18 years old. I was amazed at what I saw. I looked at two photographs in particular:-
At 18, I was focused and in control of my life.
I saw in these pictures, a strong minded, confident young woman who was focused and in control of her life. She knew what she was doing and where she was going. And, the funny thing is, that although bad things had happened to her in her young life, it did not dampen her happy and pleasant personality or mind-set.

She did not allow events to deviate her from her pathway in life. She automatically allowed bad events go ‘over her head’. For her it was just ‘instinctive’. She was always in a state of ‘Repose and Poise’. She was not fickle. She was loyal and faithful and adhered to the Laws of the Universe. She was resourceful, resilient, dependable and reliable.

I remember that people used to think this young woman in the photo was older than her years because of her focus, maturity, knowledge and wisdom. As I looked at her pose in the photograph, it was a strong, grounded, confident poise that said ‘I AM’. I noticed the clothes she was wearing. It was not that of a teenager but a young person whose statement was;
At 19 years old I was resourceful,
 resilient, dependable and reliable. 

‘I know who I AM, I know where I am going; I know what I want in life.’

I saw this amazing Powerful person….I saw ME as I was then. I am this person now, as I was then. And, I still dress in my own style that says ‘I am ME, I know where I am going, and I know what I want in life’.

Not many people can still boast youth, vitality, and Personal Power past 50 years old.

But, you know, it wasn’t always this way for me. Between the ages of 19 and 38 years of age, a ‘thing’ happened to me and for whatever reason, I decided to forget how resourceful I was and made it an ‘issue’ for me. For many years I wandered in the wilderness, doing my ‘poor me’, ‘low self-esteem’, ‘victim’ drama. Life and opportunities passed me by. It took me many years to realise that this ‘performance’ was not getting me anywhere. So I made the decision to ‘buck up’ my ideas.

I embarked on a pathway of Personal Development in all areas of my life; body, mind and spirit and I regained my Personal Power. I AM, once more, this powerful person I was many years ago. This is my revelation. What an incredible accomplishment. I never really lost it; it was always there, within ME.

And, I will tell you a secret; do you know that everyone is born with the same Power that I have. As young children and/or young adults it is instinctive to be resourceful and resilient.

Not many people can still boast youth,
vitality, and Personal Power past 50 years old. 
We grow up, things happen to us or we make bad choices; it’s natural. We can either stay down or get up and start again.

Have you lost your personal power? What would you do or pay, to have your Power back. Are you ready and willing to give up your ‘stuff’? Take back what is rightfully yours. Whose life is it anyway? You know, you never really lost your Power; it is always within you.

People ask me if I still coach clients, the answer is Yes. Even though I am concentrating on my book(s), I will always make time to assist clients to get where really they want to be.
