Images of Power and Clarity

I am, who I accept myself to be.

During our lifetimes, we create all sorts of images of ourselves. Among them are ones where we have very little power over our lives.

Whenever we embody our minds with images of powerlessness, it's difficult to pivot to images of ourselves with great power. And from a practical perspective, most of us will remain trapped in the miasma of self-deflated images of powerless until we recognize there are other ways to think about ourselves.

It seems the more we live with our self-created images, the more we become enamored with beliefs and values that portray us as powerless. And in most situations, we are not fully cognizant of our roles in creating the images we have about ourselves.

Most of us believe someone other than ourselves is responsible for the images we have of ourselves. This illusory interpretation of our inner-power makes it difficult for us to believe we are victims of our thoughts, beliefs and values.

Although most of us are victims of our beliefs and values, we struggle with accepting that we created our own victimization. In many instances, we blame society or others for our powerlessness. Unfortunately, we forget that we have the power to overcome what we have been taught by others.

Nevertheless, regardless of our current status in life, we have many opportunities to use our Powers of Mind  to change the way we think and live. Yet we continue to disown our  Powers of Mind and embrace societal definitions of our power. This makes us victims of others' beliefs and values.

Similarly, the power of clarity to recognize that we were born with Powers of Mind is the origin of change.  This awareness of power enlightens our minds to go beyond images of victim or powerless. It's the moment we know that we are greater than what we currently know about ourselves.

Meanwhile, the world changes when we change the perceptions of our own images of power. In other words, we need to spend our time working on changing ourselves before we try to change the world.

When we become clear about who we are, and our Powers of Mind, we remove the illusions creating images of ourselves as victims or powerless. At the deeper level of understanding, what we think about ourselves and others are nothing but expressions of our current beliefs and values. 

Now is the time to WAKE UP our minds and accept that we have the  Powers of Mind to create images of ourselves with great power.
