There is a diverse spectrum of places and ideas that a person focuses their energy and attention. This doesn’t stop because the even stops or because time passes. We still place much of ourselves into old moments long since past battles. Its essentially unfinished thoughts and desires taking out parts of an individuals’ strength and mind. But you can take this back as soon as you recognize it. This is going to get sort of metaphysical and sound spiritual so keep an open mind. Its just your thoughts, and thats all it ever is.
Take an example for the biggest hinderance you have currently between you and your dream. Its probably not a dragon to beat, a degree to get, or a wall to climb but an improper investment of emotion. You’re distracted because perhaps you are too distracted or too angry or can’t focus due to social stress or some such distress of the mind. This is what you must identify. Your parents beatings, girl friend’s tormenting words, a mistake at work or insecurity… anything that you have invested emotion in that is leaching you still. Now focus and feel this. Look at how it moves your gut, the aura or emotional atmosphere it creates just to think about it. That is your power, your passion, your energy, you effort, that is yours. And its being used elsewhere than where you need it.
Take the situation and visualize it now. See the piece and force of you put inside it and feel the likewise force inside yourself. Its how important you are to you, how powerful you feel. When you notice the similarity of these two things, then you have an answer. It easy if you try to feel and think, not just one or the other and probably nothing done before. Certainly nothing you’ve heard of before. Look at all the investment you have made, the excitement. Worry, anger, lust, desire is all excitement of a type. But you left it there and the book’s draining on your mind as well as your heart. So here we stand now looking at the money we dropped and our wallet in hand. Put it back into yourself, invest in you. Let the worry and excitement and anger and whatever else you have spaced out of your own passion be like a shinning light, beaming back to you. Watch it stream and imagine in flowing back into you. Allow yourself to feel as powerful as all that you are. I personally like to imagine Goku from Dragon Ball Z powering up. I want all the wasted energy and pieces of me to be back in me. This is being present, this is being solid and tying up loose ends.
You are all that power and you can decide where to aim your passion and what dreams to chase.
You are always this powerful and we should remind ourselves any chance we may forget. Its strange to realize how big you really are but it takes poise and the integrity to acknowledge your pride without being overcome by it. Accepting how great you are is more difficult than it sounds. All the excitement of your child self is the power you full posses but you can aim it with a fuller view of the world now. Take that power back and realize your full power.
