Show up with your masterly will!

This force, which is the best thing in you, your highest self, will never respond to any ordinary half-hearted call, or any milk-and-water endeavor, It can only be reached by your supremest call, your supremest effort. It will respond only to the call that is backed up by the whole of you, not part of you; you must be all there in what you are trying to do. You must bring every particle of your energy, unanswerable resolution, your best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no failure... Only a masterly call, a masterly will, a supreme effort, intense and persistent application, can unlock the door to your inner treasure and release your highest powers."
- Orison Swett Marden, was an American writer associated with the New Thought Movement.


There are times when you just know that you are out of order, when you are just reacting and not responding in an empowered way. There are some days when you know you can do better and when you know you are not holding yourself to your highest standards. Today was one of those days and the good thing is that I am learning to recognise this and do what I learnt was a pattern interupt. Recognise the pattern and stop it and start over! I said to myself I was going to do something, show up as ME and speak up! I chickened out and just as I was in the middle of the act of falling back into old patterns the other person said something to me and it was a trigger, I was like ok a pattern interrupt needed right now!!!

What did I learn today?
Show up and show out! Bring your authentic self to the party or bloody well stay home! Give it your all and be bold because you will only have yourself to be disappointed in when things turn sour. Why? Because you short changed yourself! Caroline Myss says "when you betray yourself you are no different to the people that betray you, the ultimate form of betrayal is self betrayal" and that is as simple as not honoring the promises you make to yourself with  eating a bag of potato chips!! sounds radical but the small things turn into the big things!
Have the courage and self love to do it!
Peace!!
