In days gone by i have heard so many people say “believe in yourself” when really what they probably should have been doing is telling me the actual things that they believed were positive about me & encouraging me to believe in those specifically positive things.

It’s great to be reminded how having an empowered identity makes a significant difference toward future success.

Thank-you, Jo

You raise a relevant point when you question ‘delusion’, for the truth is we are all creating illusions. A ‘delusion’ is someone’s opinion that something cannot be done – or that it doesn’t fit within that person’s understanding or comfort zones. We are all human, all born to a woman and whatever family status there is. We all grow – and we all have our own versions of what life is like, according to our perception. And perhaps that is why sisters and brothers all have common threads in their story and yet all have their own outcomes?

We have people saying the pyramid’s ‘can’t’ be built the way they are, I daresay there were those who told Alexander the Great he “couldn’t”; Martin Luther King and Gandhi were sniffed at – for how can a nation be changed? Napoleon Hill’s Edwin Barnes and Tony Robbins and many others looked at their lives and said to themselves – there IS more, and proceeded to just do it.

Our whole lives are just constructs, and if it is all just illusion, and it is all our life – then surely we are free to create our own reality. I know I’d rather choose good, wholesome and flourishing stuff to create, than the ‘other’.
