Power of Determination – Part 3…

Hi Everyone,

Here we are in Leura – cold and wet – but wonderful all the same. We feel very fortunate to be here and have had amazing feedback with the programs facilitated so far. I personally gain so much each time I run a program (wherever I may be) because I learn so much from those attending – so thank you to all :)… I would also like to welcome quite a few new participants to our Powers Study Group – may you gain some practical benefit no matter how small 🙂

While I was sitting in one of our peaceful meditation rooms, I was reflecting on some of the challenges I’ve faced this year – in particular during the months of March through July (see previous posts on willtowonder.com.au). The feeling that arose within me was Appreciation and Gratitude.  I realised once again how much my inner Powers (my amazing Virtues) have helped me through – allowing me to heal in many ways – not to mention the amazing support so many of you have shown me, from the bottom of my heart I thank you… And for those of you who have shared your experiences – your challenges have been no less – your individual Courage and Determination continue to inspire me.

Determination is another one of those amazing Powers that when applied in our life, we can’t help but see some amazing results. What I also love about this Power is how we as individuals are able to inspire others through showing (demonstrating through our actions) the Power of Determination, rather than just talking about. When we are able to demonstrate in a practical way, our inner Powers work, that’s when we truly become living examples 🙂

As we near the closing of another year, it’s always a great time to reflect on where we are able to make some changes (without being hard on ourselves). Determination is a Power that helps us make these changes in a gentle yet self-assured way. This allows us to leave the past behind yet build on the experience that helps shape our present and our future 🙂

Question: When I make a mistake, do I become emotional and get stuck on the mistake or do I allow myself to learn and grow and keep moving forward?…

Tip: When you’ve made a mistake don’t get stuck on it – becoming emotional is not helpful in understanding the lesson…  If we are Actors on this World-Stage then see it as a ‘miss-take’ and simply do another ‘take’… Take 1… Take 2… Take 3….

For those who have recently joined us, towards the end of this week is a good time to share your experience of applying this Power (if you choose to do so). This gives me an opportunity to collaborate all the different experiences for everyone to share. Your experiences will only be shared in a condensed form and no names are mentioned. I look forward to hearing your stories of triumph and/or tribulation – remember, nothing is too ‘unimportant’ to share – everyone gains from hearing the experiences of others. If nothing else, it just reminds us that we are not alone… Create a wonderful week 🙂

Lots of love Annemarie
