A Prayer To Own Your Power

 

I’ve been afraid for so long.

Of stepping out of the shadows.

Of adding my voice to the crowd.

Of spreading my angel wings.

Of taking the leap.

Of stepping into myself and into the spotlight.

Of being heard.

Of being known.

Of being seen.

But true joy, true happiness, and true love don’t dwell in the shadows.

 

They thrive in the light.

 

By being our authentic selves, we’re adding magic to the world that wasn’t there before.

By hiding who we are, we deny the world a great service.

In writing this, with the inspiration and support of my fellow Wild Women, I embrace my power.

I accept this Greatness.

 

I own who I am.

 

My highest priority is my higher self.

I am unabashedly in love with my self.

I no longer withhold love and kindness from myself for fear of being selfish or making those who have yet to fall in love with themselves feel inferior.

By openly loving myself, I am allowing others to open up to loving themselves, too.

I am passionately in love with my soulmate.

I no longer hold back my love for him for fear that those who are still journeying towards their soulmate will feel inferior.

By openly loving everyone, I allow others to open up to love, too.

I am wonderfully in love with the Universe.

I no longer hide my optimism and enthusiasm for life for fear that I will be perceived as naive or unrealistic.

By expressing my love and gratitude for life, I am being a force of good in the world.

I believe in love. I believe in miracles. I believe in rainbows. I believe in the Universe. I believe in bear hugs. I believe in tie-dye. I believe in enlightenment. I believe in crystals. I believe in laughter. I believe in kindness. I believe in family. I believe in sisterhood. I believe in Spirit. I believe in green juices. I believe in veganism. I believe in art. I believe in trees. I believe in Angels. I believe in authenticity. I believe in pizza. I believe in flowers. I believe in turquoise. I believe in peace. I believe in the ocean. I believe in equality. I believe in magic. I believe in being the kind of person you want your children to be. I believe in books. I believe in Life. I believe in incense. I believe in candles. I believe in soulmates. I believe in the moon. I believe in nature. I believe in compassion. I believe in creativity. I believe in women. I believe in inspiration. I believe in blogging. I believe in tea. I believe in smiles. I believe in Karma. I believe in positivity. I believe in Mala beads. I believe in gratitude. I believe in writing. I believe in meditation. I believe in community. I believe in animals. I believe in yoga. I believe in joy. I believe in me.

I believe fun is sitting around the dinner table surrounded by good food, good people and good belly laughs.

I believe relaxation is spending all day Saturday in bed reading, writing, drinking tea and cuddling my husband.

 

I believe success is peace of mind.

 

I believe sisterhood will change the world.

I believe life is a roller coaster ride of blessins’ and lessons.

I believe passion is essential to happiness.

I believe enthusiasm ignites the Universe.

I believe forgiveness is healing.

 

I believe only love is real.

 

I believe all this and more.

 

This is who I am.

 

Some people think I’m ‘woo-woo,’ unrealistic, and weird.

I think there are much worse things to be called.

I believe, as Rumi did, that conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.

 

My aim is not to please others, but to be so connected with my soul that it’s whispers are louder than the opinions of others.

 

What I know for sure is that being my complete self equals pure freedom.

Embracing my complete self equals pure bliss.

Sharing my complete self with the world will change lives.

It will attract like-minded souls into my life – and repel those who aren’t suited to me.

To help me along this life-changing road to freedom, I wrote myself a prayer.

I wrote it late at night, on my iPhone, while clutching my new turquoise angel pendant in my left hand and waiting in meditation for the words to flow.

I invite anyone who is afraid of their own greatness to recite this prayer whenever needed. I know I will be.

 

 

To our Greatness,
