Ruby Slipper Revelations

When Glenda the Good Witch informed a bewildered Dorothy that she indeed had the power all along to have anything she wished for embodied in the ruby slippers, including a trip back to Kansas, we all took a collective sigh. Imagine possessing something that amazing yet not having a clue?

We all have our own pair of Ruby Slippers and rarely realize or employ their magical abilities; to create, to heal,  basically to have anything we want.  The key is understanding we possess that power within ourselves and then learn how to use it. Our thoughts and words are how we manifest. Nobody else can tell you what to think or say, or keep you creating what you want in the world. But by the same token, you are also the only one who can block those creations from happening…again through your words and thoughts.  And THAT is the issue.  

If we are the only ones who can create and we are the only ones who block things from working out, that means whatever is happening in our world is our own doing. Pretty much rules out the role of victim, huh?. How much of our own success and happiness do we prevent through not believing we are worthy or don’t possess the ability to succeed? Do you spend more time thinking up excuses as to why you can’t have something instead of determining ways to get it? People spend an inordinate amount of time arguing for their own limitations.

Sure there are mitigating circumstances or events that occur in our lives that we may think are the reason for a failure, but those are merely rooted in your own original thoughts, and is the way the universe  brings those ideas or feelings to fruition. Look back over events in your life both positive and negative with this new filter and determine what thoughts did you hold that were the true cause for the occurrence at the time.

This realization will open up a whole new world, for it puts you in full control of everything that happens in your life. It all originates with your words and thoughts, no matter how fleeting. They are the most  important tools we have, treat them with intention and respect. Too often we have a cavalier attitude in what we say or think, as if they didn’t matter. In order to be better disciplined, imagine whatever you say or think will happen 3 minutes afterwards and see if you aren’t more careful.

Then click your heels three times and make it so!
