Daily Divination #6

I possess the power and the free will to create my own happiness

You have had trouble with negative thinking lately. You got a new idea or vision of how you can make your dreams come true, but your thoughts keep trying to poke holes. "You can't do that." "No one's going to buy that." "No one will support you, they haven't already." These thoughts continue to swirl around in your mind, surrounding your dream and dampening its fiery glow. It makes the potential future feel like less of an opportunity and more like a nightmare. All of the risk of failure and being perceived makes it extremely hard to have any sense of optimism. The thing is though, everything comes with those risks. Every time you step outside, there is a chance for you to do something deemed "wrong" and for others to see it. There comes a time when we have to choose which risk is worth taking. Would you rather be following someone else's expectations of you or your own? Is the risk of never satisfying someone worth more than the risk of disappointing yourself? The future is always going to be there; flexible, ever changing and made of potential. Only you get to choose how you will view it.

Your perspective on freedom has become tainted by these negative thought patterns. Instead of feeling free you feel more like you're stranded; like you've been left out in the wilderness to figure out how to survive. All you see around you are other people who seem to have "made it," but none of their methods or tactics had ever worked out for you the same way. It's daunting and discouraging. However, free will didn't stop at the people around you. You can try different things that actually fit into your current lifestyle or create a new lifestyle entirely. The thing about freedom is that it's completely subjective. We've seen examples of people who were imprisoned physically but remained or became a free spirit. It's all about how one chooses to see their present and future. Take the time to sit with yourself and see whether or not you have been viewing your future with a tainted lens. It's your job to create your joy, so work to recognize and rewrite any anxieties you have about your future. View every chance that you have to work toward what you envision as a sacred opportunity to exercise your gifts and calling. By reshaping your mind, you allow yourself to execute much smoother. Use a journal to really flesh out and identify any negative and limiting beliefs that are still present. We recommend a guided journal like our Shadow Work journal for those who may just be starting out.
