Dear Ones,
There are people around you who are misleading you about the way that the Universe operates and they are doing this in subtle ways that may not be easily discernible by you. We wish to educate you with this message.
When you are told that you can’t have something, you are really being told ‘We (whoever that is) don’t want you to have this.’ This is not about politics or governments, but about people who believe they have the right to control another person’s life and decisions.
You are a Child of the Universe and, as such, your only contract is with the Universe, or Source, or God/Goddess. Other people cannot deny you that which you desire because they are not the ones with whom you have an agreement about your life. You are the one who makes the choices about how you will live your life. You are, in every moment, able to make choices.
We know that there are many of you encountering these words who are already thinking about those situations in which you feel you have no control, but we would tell you to look for the aspects of those situations where you have the ability to make decisions. Understand that you have made decisions in the past that have led up to this present situation. This is not a criticism or a judgment. It is a statement of fact.
If you don’t like your job, then remember that you agreed to take that position. Even if you feel that you had no choice because it was the only opportunity at that time, you still had the option of taking no job, although that option might have brought with it some unpleasant consequences. You will never feel empowered in your life until you see that you always have the power to make a choice.
When others try to control you by keeping you fearful of something, whether real or imagined or described as dangerous when it is not, then they are trying to steal your power of choice away from you. When someone tells you that you can’t get a job making over $100,000 per year or that you can’t drive a luxury car or you can’t meet a partner who is wonderful or you can’t sell your house or retire or travel, then you must understand that they are merely demonstrating their own limiting beliefs. You do not need to agree with them.
On one day, the economic news is disheartening, on the next it is encouraging. The statistics about something are disturbing one day, hopeful the next. There is nothing being told to the population that has all the truth within it. Every report is slanted, sometimes by the omission of other information that is available, and sometimes on the ignorance or lack of understanding of the reporter. Sometimes the report has been deliberately manipulated.
None of this matters, though, because you are responsible for making the choices in your life. You must sort through information to decide what resonates with you. The tool that helps you to do this is to learn to connect with your Inner Guidance to discover what is accurate in your world in this moment for you,
Go within, for the answers to your question reside there. Make your choices after you have consulted your Inner Guidance. Explore ideas within yourself, or with a guide who can help you determine what you feel, believe and need.
Run away from those who would try to force their will on you, or who purport to have all the answers for you so that you don’t have to think for yourself. You are always at choice in your life. Sometimes it is best for you to ignore what you are being told from the outside and listen to the voice on the inside. And if the inner voice seems to be judging or criticizing or demeaning, then get some help in clearing that voice so that you can connect with your true inner wisdom.
You’ll feel much more empowered when you are living your life from this place of connection!
And so it is.





MUSE-INGS: You Choose!
October 5, 2011 — RosemarySeems this message keeps popping up, doesn’t it? ‘You are always at choice in your life.’
I used to argue with the Universe about this one. ‘But what about [fill in the blank] where I don’t feel I had any choice?’ The answer always seemed to have been, ‘You could have chosen to do nothing. You felt that you had to make a choice because you didn’t like the consequences of not choosing or of choosing other options.’ That was correct.
So how in your life today are you making a choice that you don’t realize is a choice? Look first at those things that you feel are ‘givens’ in your life, the things that feel as if they can never be different. So often these are the places where we must begin to reclaim our power by observing the ways in which we take away our own ability to choose by refusing to see that we have an ability to make a choice.
Often the most powerful moments in a coaching session come when the client begins to see that they actually have a choice in a situation in which they were feeling trapped, believing that there was no choice other than the one they had made. Opening up to the possibility that you have chosen something, that decisions you have made along the way have brought you to this moment, does not have to feel like a criticism or a judgment – it is really just an observation. And it is an empowering observation.
Are you in a job that is not satisfying? Didn’t you make the choice to accept that job?
Are you in a marriage that is not fulfilling? Didn’t you choose to marry that person?
The list goes on, and what matters is not that you beat yourself up for making that choice, but that you see there are choices now that you can make to change things. If you believe that you cannot leave your marriage, then you must realize that there are reasons that you are choosing to stay but that you CAN leave, you just choose not to [perhaps for some very good reasons, but you still have a choice]. Do you feel that you cannot leave your job because there are no jobs out there? You CAN leave your job but you might like the paycheck more than the uncertainty of finding another job.
Owning your power to choose can make a huge difference in living a conscious life. When you view your life as filled with choice, then you become empowered to grow, to move forward, to reach for your dreams. If you continue to view yourself as the victim then you are stopped dead in the water, unable to muster the energy or the power to direct your path forward toward your dreams.
Which way do you choose to live? Choose to be a victim and stay stuck or choose to see yourself as empowered to make choices and move in the direction of your dreams. It really is up to you.
I remember a time when I was just old enough for my parents to leave me at home alone. The family was going to visit grandparents and I wanted to stay home alone. My parents allowed me to make that choice. But as soon as they pulled away from the curb, I wished I had gone with them. I think I was exercising the right to choose without thinking about what the consequences of that choice might be. I was suddenly lonely. But I had made my choice. And I made a different choice the next time based on what I learned, the feedback I received after that first choice.
This is the cycle that is empowering. Make a choice. Notice the results of that choice. Analyze the feedback and decide to continue making that choice or to make a new choice.
You can change your life but only when you realize that you are able to make choices.
