The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast

To Become More I Am Willing To Be More

"Boldness doesn't mean rude, obnoxious, loud, or disrespectful. Being bold is being firm, sure, confident, fearless, daring, strong, resilient, and not easily intimidated. It means you're willing to go where you've never been, willing to try what you've never tried, and willing to trust what you've never trusted. Boldness is quiet, not noisy."~Mike Yaconelli

Everyone wants good things. They want to have that fit body they desire, they want to have that great relationship they believe they deserve, they want to have a better job or make more money, they want to have people who listen and respect them, or maybe they want to be spending more time doing the things they love.

And it's great to want things, but the real question is—are you willing to be the person who it takes to have those things? And if you noticed what I did just there, I didn't say you have to be willing to DO what it takes to have those things…I asked are you willing to BE the person who is worthy of those things.

I don't get what I want, I get…because of what I am willing to do; I receive because of who I am willing to be... (hear the rest in the podcast)

Strong Within Weekly Affirmation: I Keep Going

"Art is longing. You never arrive, but you keep going in the hope that you will." ~Anselm Kiefer

The thing I love about this affirmation is that you can add so many different types of empowering words you want after "I Keep"…I keep planning when things feel uncertain, I keep communicating when things feel chaotic, I keep being weird because my uniqueness is awesome, I keep loving when I hurt, I keep healing when I feel broken, I keep hurdling my obstacles because there is more going on than I am currently seeing at the moment.

And for me the thought of those 3 words, I Keep Going, is the sentiment of what life is. Life keeps going. When you get fired, the business keeps going; when you break up with someone, the other person keeps living; when one opportunity has passed, another one will come...

I believe the Universe is always speaking to us. I believe that we all are connected and aligned with that source energy at every moment. And maybe you have felt it or experienced it before that what you needed to see or hear happened exactly when you needed to have it happen. And that's exactly what happened to me, while I was focusing on the things that were going wrong. Even during my hardest times I still had this want to pivot from the darkness I was reaching towards. While I could feel my focus being directed towards the anger, the mistakes I had made and felt I might be stuck in… I still was working on trying to find another way to BE in that moment....

Catch the rest of my thoughts on the podcast.

"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." ~Carl Jung

I was speaking with a life coaching client of mine this week and we were talking about an anxious situation in his life, and we expanded that conversation to all the anxiety he feels in his life. And after letting my client speak for a bit on what was going on, I asked him, "where does the anxiety you feel come from?"

They thought about it for a moment, and I stayed quiet.

I've learned to keep my mouth shut for as long as it takes when someone is thinking of an important epiphany in their life...

Who we are and who we are to become lies not in what we have been given, but rather is determined by what we consistently think about...

and sooner or later I know you will step into your strength, you will remember who you are meant to be and who you already are...and you will not only think it, but you will know it in your every action from here on out.

Is perfection holding you back, is your sense of obligation to having everything in order freezing you from taking chances in life, and are you stuck with the same negative mental patterns continual telling yourself why you can't instead of telling yourself why you can?

If so, have a listen to help you think differently about your life and your mistakes.

Your thoughts will determine the direction of where you point your life towards. Thoughts are things, they are the beginning point to manifesting what is within ourselves into the outside world. So the thoughts we focus on not only helps to create the emotions we gravitate towards, but it also is how we create the world around us and what we attract to ourselves as well.
