Don’t Relinquish Your Power

January 27, 2009 By Martha Alderson

My apologies up front. After today’s consultation, I’m in the mood to rant.

Hold onto your own personal power no matter the cost.

Don’t give your energy over to another and/or to a belief that no longer serves you. Let me repeat that. Do NOT give your energy over to another or to a belief that no longer serves you.

Don’t forget, no matter who critiques you, you are the artist. You are the final decision-maker.

Don’t give your power over to anyone else.

Listen.

Take notes.

Thank them.

Do for them what you want them to do for you.

Go home and mull over what they have to say.

What resonates with you, follow.

What doesn’t feel right, let go of…

You’re in this with the divine.

Trust yourself.

Listen to yourself.

Whatever drains your energy run from.

Whatever fills you up move toward…

Have fun…
