As a coach I have the privilege of partnering with some of the most interesting, dedicated, disciplined, intelligent, hard working, and compassionate people across the world. They all come to me with different challenges and areas of concern with a hope that by partnering with a coach they will release blocks, limitations, and set themselves free. It never seizes to amaze me that in a matter of a few short weeks profound transformations can be realized.
But you know what is the most surprising? Their external life doesn’t appear to be any different. They may still be in the same job, processing those difficult relationships, getting back into shape, preparing for that interview, or in the process of moving into a new home. Their lives are still in flux and transition.
Yet, transformation has already been made. They are changed forever and will never be the same, simply by changing one simple thing…
Are you ready to know the secret?
It’s all about Perspective.
PERSPECTIVE – A PARTICULAR ATTITUDE TOWARD OR WAY OF REGARDING SOMETHING; A POINT OF VIEW.
You may laugh at the banality of this cliche, yet true awakenings cannot happen any other way.
Have you ever heard of karma? Karma is the energetic hold of the past that dictates our future. Without clarity of insight we are bound to continue repeating cycle upon cycle of repeated stories from our past.
What does it take to break this cycle aka karma?
Again, awareness and a change in perspective.
That’s it.
Why Shifting Your Perspective Is Freedom
Profound energetic shifts can be made simply by being willing to see your life from another point of view.
It all comes down to how we define a particular event or experience. From an energy perspective, nothing is either good or bad yet as humans we attach meaning to our experiences; some positive, negative or neutral.
We don’t remember the toothpaste brand we used 15 years ago on this day, or the food that we ate because we don’t attribute any meaning to this neutral event. In other words, the experience of the particular food we ate or brushing our teeth are considered neutral or mundane and therefore do not have a strong energetic hold in our memory bank.
Contrast this to the distinct memory of your first job interview or falling in love for the first time. These memories are vivid and still alive within you since we have attributed meaning to this event.
Meaning gives rise to emotion, and emotion gives rise to a feeling tone which dictates how we see the world.
Our memories are nothing more than anchors to feeling states, images, sounds and sensations – which all rely on the meaning we assign them.
Therefore, the stronger the feeling or emotion, the more distinct the memory.
The more distinct the memory, the more we define ourselves by it.
You are the creative director of your life movie. What memories and meaning do you assign to your life which predicts your future?
“FOR THERE IS NOTHING EITHER GOOD OR BAD, BUT THINKING MAKES IT SO.” – SHAKESPEARE (HAMLET)
We cannot change the past but we do have the power to alter our perception of it.
A failed job interview can be viewed from the perspective of disappointment, shame, and fear. If you choose to label this experience this way then any subsequent future job interview will be colored with this energetic vibration.
This is self sabotaging at its best.
However, if we attribute a different meaning to this event, we can change our potential future. A failed job interview can equally be viewed from the point of view that it was a fantastic learning experience, we were given the opportunity to see where we could improve and we now have an understanding of what we need to do in order to improve our performance for next time.
With this perspective we learn from our mistakes and open ourselves up for inviting a more positive future experience.
What about situations where people have hurt or abused us? How can we possibly change our attitude or attribute a different meaning to a very obvious situation of abuse, neglect, or abandonment?
Even in these extreme experiences we have the power to choose a different meaning for us; albeit it requires a willingness to see that people act according to their level of conscious evolution or awareness level at that time.
For example, if you were neglected or abused as a child and your parent treated you poorly you can choose to see yourself as a victim and feel sorry for your upbringing, and that you didn’t grow up in a healthy and loving home.
There are many people who can relate to this narrative so you will never be alone in reliving the past through other people’s negative memories. People form all kinds of groups, clubs, or social activities to perpetuate the identification they choose to keep alive.
On the other hand, you can choose a different perspective – of empowerment and higher awareness. This requires that you dis-identify with the old story and create a new one. Why not? You are the creative director of your life! Who else is going to do it?
Freedom from reliving the past can be found through one very potent universal law: Nothing other people do is because of you. All people’s actions are limited to their conscious awareness at that particular moment in time, and they act in the best way they know how.
People act in the best way they know how. This includes you.
You and everyone else are simply doing the best they can with what they know.
“WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER YOU DO BETTER.” – MAYA ANGELOU
So, first see through eyes of compassion and understanding for others and yourself. We are all doing the best we can. If you can accept this and truly embody this, then your life will open up in new ways that have never before been available to you.
What we believe we perceive.
If you change the way you view your past (aka karma) you reclaim your power to consciously choose your future, and this, my dear friend, is self mastery at its finest!
“YOU CAN SEE ONLY WHAT YOU BELIEVE – NOTHING ELSE IS POSSIBLE.” – BYRON KATIE
These shifts are so powerful that once you accept them, you open yourself to a whole new world that you were previously blind to. Indeed this world is full of magic, wonder, miracles, and immense love.
“WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING ALL THE UNIVERSE CONSPIRES IN HELPING YOU TO ACHIEVE IT.” – PAULO COELHO
Have you lost yourself and forgotten the miracle that you are?
Have you forgotten how powerful you are?
