self-fufilling prophecies

Good.

I really enjoy your videos, you're incredibly wise and have a great perspective. This year I've learned the easiest way for change is simply letting go, surrendering to the Universe or your higher power/God, or both. Quit fighting what's in your heart and mind, see the beauty of this world and beauty of life. Let go and allow the change, the change to your true self.

@SonnyL3773 thank you for the kind words. I agree, 2024 was about surrendering. Both beautiful and a terrifying experience 😂 mostly just breaking down any illusions we ever had of control. Any hopes for 2025?

[@SonnyL3773]

@IlluminateYourPower Just trying to make peace with myself. And try to get the most out of life. It flies by and life is fleeting. Don't want to be in positions where I'm not comfortable anymore.

[@SonnyL3773]

@IlluminateYourPower what about yourself?

[@IlluminateYourPower]

@@SonnyL3773 that's a solid focus for the year. Life is short. I hope everything works out in your favor. For me, just continuing to put myself out there and embrace myself with love and compassion. Same focus as you it sounds like.

[@SonnyL3773]

@@IlluminateYourPower Very cool, you're doing great putting yourself out there. Your content is wonderful!

"You can change things pretty quickly" My question now is how, how do I shift focus on the things that I do want over the things that I don't want.

[@IlluminateYourPower]

@SvengelskaBlondie where attention goes energy flows. If we don't acknowledge something it basically doesn't exist for us. Do you know what you do want? Or just what you don't want?

[@SvengelskaBlondie]

@@IlluminateYourPower I know what I want, just been struggling a bit with how to change my beliefs so I can have what I want. Allot of the stuff is pretty standard stuff, want health, money, a nice house to live in with the kitties. Some are more specific like I want to have a hydroponics farm for growing food and my own custom arcade/pinball making company. A few are really personal stuff like wanting to change things with my body, most of those personal things are also a test to see how much I can change my reality.

I disagree, but I'm not interested in changing your opinion. If you're happy with your mindset, then please keep it. For me, expecting awful things doesn't lead me to seeking them out. For an example, I hope that my car starts every time I turn the key. But if I expect the car to fail, then I'm met with a pleasant surprise when it starts. The one time it does fail, though, I'm mentally prepared for it. One line I've written that I'm a little proud of is "To anticipate tragedy is to rob it of its sting." I believe that the happiest people are like me, people who have nothing to lose because they know that they could lose anything. I like hearing opinions that I disagree with, though. Unless it's astrology.

@virtutisoccasioest I also appreciate differing povs! I don't think there are many one-size fits all approaches to life since we are all wired different just think we should reevaluate our approach from time to time if things aren't working out well for us. It sounds like your approach works well because if the bar is low then anything you experience above that is positive.
