Today’s Miracle Moment Is About Owning Your Power to Choose…
We have the privilege of working with lots of people all over the world, and what we’ve noticed is that many people are stuck in a pattern of giving away their power to choose.
Do you ever find yourself in that pattern? For example, if someone asks you “What would you like to do?” do you respond with, “I don’t care, it’s completely up to you. You decide where we go and what we do.” When you respond in this way, you are giving away your power.
It may appear that allowing someone else to choose for you is selfless, giving, kind, and generous. Maybe you think (often subconsciously) that people will like or approve of you more, and it’ll be easier to get love. However, this is actually unhealthy as you are giving away your power to choose and putting it into someone else’s hands. When you let someone else choose for you, if things don’t work out well, you can end up blaming that person and feeling resentful of their decision. This is often referred to as codependent behavior. That is not living in the Miracle Zone.
Learning how to make choices that are in alignment with our highest good is what helps us live more in the Miracle Zone.
If you’re not confident or comfortable in your ability to make choices that are aligned with your highest good, the best way to get started is to practice making small choices that will have a smaller impact on your life. This practice will allow your subconscious to gain confidence in your ability to make wise choices.
If you avoid making choices, then you’re not exercising your free will. Your free will is what ignites your vital force. Your very ability to be here in a passionate living body is tied to your free will and animating the spiritual fire within.
If you don’t ever vote, if you don’t ever pick or voice your opinion and your preference, then you’re constantly snuffing out this fire in your belly. Your heart may start to weaken, and you may become depressed. You may become confused, lethargic or disoriented. You may even have a difficult time being satisfied with anything that happens. You can feel victimized, as though nothing is going your way, and feel there’s nothing you can do about it. That’s what results from not taking your opportunity to choose.
Exercising your personal power is especially vital now, at election time. Instead of giving your power away with inaction, claim your personal power by casting your political vote. Make your personal choice. This is a perfect time! We encourage everyone to claim the personal power of choice by casting your vote. Let’s rock the vote!
We encourage you to take back your power to choose (in all things).
This isn’t being selfish. This is about taking care of yourself, and in doing so, you are claiming your personal power of authenticity. This helps to empower your life in healthy ways.
Over the next several days, start casting your vote and expressing your opinion more. By doing so, you’re telling the Universe—I’m in. I mean business and I’m here to play in a big way. The Universe has no choice but to respond to you. That’s what it means to live in the Miracle Zone.
Happy choosing!
Accepting health issues at 78 and joyfully managing them, has allowed me to take back my power and make choices to manifest long-held dreams that I thought I was too old to go after. I am believing in “Dream as if you will live forever. Live as if you have only today.” I am one of Marcia Wieder’s Certified Dream Coaches and I am stepping out as a Successful Dream Coach to inspire, educate, and empower others to have the abundant life God created us to live. It is my choice.
several years ago i was spiritually led to begin a support group for divorced and widowed people. one of the very first issues we dealt with was this problem of choice. they decided they wanted to eat at a restaurant before our meetings, but “whatever you choose” was the common response. the next day someone would tell me they do not like that restaurant and do not want to eat there again. well, i had to help her and others to get past the “my opinion does not count” belief system. they did get past that, i remember when i was a people pleaser and found out that that was a problem of mine in my marriage and i had to change. so i salute you for bringing it up. (the sound is very low on my computer)
Thank you for this reminder, as being the “easygoing” middle child of four and not asserting my choice, even at age 67, has led to a pattern of resentment and giving up. Now, small steps to build consensus and compromise in work and family situations empowers me and the outcome, even if others don’t always follow along the way I’d like.
I also have a miracle voting story! I really wanted to vote early Monday, and though I went early, the lines (New York City) were already four blocks long. A woman next to me asked the poll worker if there was a disability line, and he said, sure, go straight to the front of the line. Then he asked if I had a disability too–and I said, well no, just asthma (and it was acting up that rainy, cold day). He said, well, you just go ahead with her. And so I did
and voted in ten minutes. I accepted it as a gift. I had chosen the time and had a lot of work to do, including supporting other people to vote and stay calm.
All in all, this week involved voting in our own best interest, which will also be in the best interest of many others. Thanks!!
Hi how are I would like your opinion my girlfriend and she left a month ago even though we had a good relationship she’s 63 and I’m 59 its the 3rd time she does that to me in 4/1/2YEARS
Everyone different reason even we she told me I wasn’t stable and I did move in with her she panics some reason and she pushes me away she’s a colon cancer survivor and her husband passed awY of the same thing in 2007 I don’t know if there a side effect of the cancer but I know she loves and vise versa we have alot in common. Funny too say yes its frustrating when she does that to me but I want her back. I know know its not her its inside her head and she has anxiety issues. What can I do any advice
Hello Tony. One thing to keep in mind is that a woman needs to feel financially secure in a relationship. I suggest you two go to couples counseling to get to the bottom of your issues and you work on getting stable if you want to keep the relationship. Hope this piece of advice helps you.
I do state my opinion as my authentic self I’ve lost family over it I’ve not chosen places to go etc with family & friends in the past but listening to your Message has made me think about how many times I’ve said ya that’s OK or I don’t care you pick etc didn’t realize I was giving my power away & being co dependent
The year of miracles has taught me how to best listen to my heart and empower me enough to know I don’t have to live in my mind. What a great gift. Thank you
Love this! Thank you! Universe, I’m in!!
Your message is so important…especially for women. Growing up in the south in the 50’s and wanting to be not only liked, but appropriate, I often gave my power away. I’m pleased that in later years I have gotten a lot better at expressing my wishes and making choices that are right for me even if it didn’t please another person. I like me better and I think the people I really care about not only like me better but have more respect for me. They know where I stand and can trust that I am being honest. I’ve learned to do it in a nice way and respect their position or view even when it is quite different from mine.
Thank you for telling me this!
I’m living in the Mirace Zone!!
I feel the same way as what you said. It’s like giving the power to someone else without recognising it or if recognising it I do it anyways without thinking on the consequences. Thanks for the miracle.
Thank you for the miracle of this very important reminder to be aware of and to own our own choices. The timing is perfect. I may need to do this with an upcoming job request and then be able to trust that everything will work out the way it is meant to if I don’t accept a role to try and please the company. Going into a decision with readiness and consciousness will be easier.
I am following all method to keep my self happy.But my past results are not allowing me to feel inspired. So get back on worse situation. So how miracles moment will created and hold them.
I thank you for this miracle. I realize I give my power away all too often. It does not give me a feeling of strength and courage. Yes, I’m dedicated and kind, but I need to feel courageous as well. Maybe I need to take a risk once in a while and be bold. Thanks very much for your idea to help people out with this miracle.
If we can all find ways to help ourselves be happy and content, the entire world might be better off! So making choices that allow us to follow our hearts is crucial. But I would venture to say that we can’t forget that there really are times when helping others and giving in can bring us our own personal happiness. If we know that some choice that we make will bring another person happiness, or help them realize a goal or finish a project, that is a wonderful gift. Giving that kind of gift can make the gift-giver and the recipient both very happy and content.
