How often have you had insight into how a conversation or situation would play out before it happened in your life or the lives of others? How often do you think you tried to warn others about what you could see for their future? Isn't that interesting? How can we use that knowledge as power to generate new realities and conditions for ourselves and future generations to come?
For the last 20 + yrs, I have studied the intricacies of this human existence and the roles and tolls it takes on all of our relationships and life situations. While we were not given a handbook on a perfect way to be human, we certainly have enough history to come to some educated conclusions about what might influence, enhance or diminish the experience of ourselves and others in this journey we call life. Until further findings, I am going to borrow the three groups of people analogy. In no way do I claim to hold any truth or certainty of this message. Nor am I discriminating against any group mentioned. My intention is to further explore how we as human beings can take personal responsibility for ending the chaos, clutter, crime, violence, hunger, hatred, prejudices, injustices, greed and inhumane treatment of all living things. The following comes from my work with individuals and groups exploring the human condition. Remember, be careful what you practice, you will get good at it. If you keep doing the same things, you will create the same results. As you courageously declare and step into a new future and reality for yourself, you open the space for others to follow. I am open to updating my perspective in the future. While the rest of this post may be challenging for some to read or digest, know that you are always at choice to be a person that watches it happen, one that makes it happen or one that wonders what happened. You are the keeper and creator of your energy, experience and future! Those that watch it happen. - Their past predicts their future. They are not aware of the role they play in the results of their lives. If they are, they are not readily willing to do anything about it. They have made themselves hostage and are victims of their programming, conditioning and blueprints of previous generations, cultures, religions, relationships and environments. They are not intentional and purposeful in identifying what is working and what isn't working in the midst of doing something about it. They have settled into a "this is the way it is" attitude and will defend it till death. They are not challenging the filters through which they see their world and themselves in it. They are not practiced at shifting thoughts, words or actions. There are some in this group that are totally blind to what they can't see. There are some that are totally aware that it is up to them to change the situation yet they are unwilling to learn or practice what to do differently. They are resigned and have bought into their TRUTH of their current reality. (I say their TRUTH because it is their own interpretation of the situation that creates that limited reality). Ultimately, their focus is blaming others, making excuses and justifying the condition of their lives. Bottom line, they are not happy, fulfilled or peaceful. They are depending on the outer world to make their inner world okay. Those that make it happen - They use the awareness of their programming and conditioning as information to interrupt the patterns, choices, habits and results. They don't let the past determine the future. They generate new realities and new futures in thought, words and actions. They are more able to live in the moment, trusting that they have every quality known to man to make choices in alignment with responsibility and integrity. They are aware that they are solely responsible for their experience and their suffering. They create long-term fulfillment and don't settle for short-term gratification as a way of life. They have made peace with their past and do not cloud their future with expectations, attachments, judgments or resistance. They have surrendered to the collective purpose of mankind. They see themselves as an integral part in making this world a better place for future generations than the one they personally woke up in. They have accepted that it is no longer okay to sit back, do nothing, live mediocre lives, blame, complain or explain how their situation is special, different or not likely to change. They have accepted the larger mission of moving forward in spite of their life situations and current realities. They are willing to risk disappointment and disapproval from others as they forge forward. They are the pioneers of a greater tomorrow for all of us. Those that wonder what happened. - These people are confused, empty and searching for a more, better, different life. They often play both sides of the other two groups. They are aware, yet don't hang in there long enough for their results to shift. They are easily shut down by needing approval, permission, a sense of belonging, love and acceptance from others to be okay. They have not embraced their intrinsic worth and value. They sabotage their results and their relationships for the sake of looking good, feeling good, being right and fitting in. They suffer silently yet pretend it is all right and promise that one day they will have their turn. In the meantime, they put themselves second or last, give up on their dreams and set out to manage, control and manipulate others for crumbs of peace, happiness and fulfillment. They burn out quickly. Lots of activity but no real movement forward. Their experience of success, love, peace, fulfillment and joy is limited and short lived. Which category do you fall into? It might be time to update what is working/not working about your current thoughts, words and actions ? What are you doing to move yourself and your fellow man forward? How are you contributing to the well-being of future generations? How would your life be different if you were to TAKE CONSISTENT ACTION to live your life with intention and purpose of a better tomorrow for all mankind? What message of hope and possibility would that give to others that have put their lives on hold? As you courageously declare and step into a new future and reality for yourself, you open the space for others to follow. What have you been putting on hold? Are you ready to quit "settling for" mediocrity and start living your heart and soul's desire? Your partner in possibilities! Contact me, 985-860-8861 or denise@empoweringpotential.com

Energy is a property, characteristic, trait or aspect of matter that makes things happen, or, in the case of stored or potential energy, has the "potential" to make things happen. Whenever anything happens or moves there is an energy change.
For the sake of this conversation, I am sharing my thoughts on your personal energy and its impact on the way you can choose to experience the holidays. For the next several weeks, life as you know it is about to change whether you believe me or not. You are about to be bombarded with holiday activity, family and friend gatherings, commercialization, music, decorations, traffic, travel, additional expenditure, etc. I would suspect some or all of this might begin to take its toll on your energy, mood and perspective. Think about it. Believe me when I say, "Everything Is Energy". Every thought, word and action brings forth different energy. Every variation, nuance, tone, intensity, sequence, duration, etc. carries with it the potential to enhance or diminish your energy. If you are conscious to this fact, you will have a greater capacity to make choices in alignment with your preferred energy and experience of the holidays. The energy you bring to a relationship or situation will determine your experience of the relationship or situation. Practice increasing your awareness to see what you can learn about choosing your energy instead of being swept along with the season. Take on the body posture and mental state of a couple of different moods to have an experience of what I am talking about.
Make a list of the energies you are choosing for your holidays. Let them be the context of your intention in thought, word and action. Notice what people, situations, thoughts, words or actions take you out of alignment with your energy intention. Make notes, This is valuable information.
