Let’s talk about something you probably haven’t thought of very often.
Let’s talk about something incredibly empowering. Let’s talk about your personal resourcefulness. You might have heard people say over and over that you need “fixing” or that you’re lacking what it takes to solve your problems. But let me suggest a bold concept… No, you are not a broken object that needs fixing. You are just facing a challenge and you already have all the resources within yourself to overcome this and any challenge.
Limiting Beliefs
When we hear this nonsense over and over, about being broken, damaged, useless etc… We can take them as fact. They become a belief. A disempowering, limiting belief, that pins us to the spot, unable to pivot toward success. It’s time to break free from those limiting beliefs and understand that only you hold the key to your own solutions. This is the beauty of your harnessing your own personal resourcefulness, to take charge of your life.
Embrace Your Wholeness
Buddy, you are not broken, my friend. We all face hurdles and struggles, but that doesn’t mean we need to be “fixed.” You are a unique individual with a wealth of experiences and strengths that make you who you are. Embrace your wholeness and acknowledge that you are capable of handling whatever comes your way. The mess you find yourself in during times of turmoil will become your message of hope and strength down the line. So don’t dismiss it, own it.
Tap into Your Inner Strength
Dig beneath the surface and discover the well of strength within you. Your personal resourcefulness is like a treasure trove of talents, skills, and abilities. When you acknowledge this, you tap into immense personal power. Once you recognise your strengths, you’ll be amazed at how much you can achieve. You have heard the often used, throwaway cliché “You’re stronger than you know”…. It is oft used because it’s f***ing true. Unfortunately, it is less common for this statement to make it past the ear canal and be truly understood.
Rewrite Your Story
The world might throw false narratives your way, making you doubt yourself. These false narratives can come from the very people they shouldn’t – spouses, parents, even “friends”… But to use another cliché: “You hold the pen to your life story”, my friend. So, take charge and rewrite the script. You are not defined by other people’s opinions; you define who you are. Embrace your uniqueness, and let that guide you to new heights.
Embrace Your Perspective
Imagine your life is like a brand new artist’s canvas, and you are holding the brush. Your perspective is unique, only you have walked in your shoes. I hope you understand that your experiences thus far, directly shape your understanding of the world. This is YOUR “map of the world”. Don’t be afraid to see things differently from others. Your unique viewpoint holds wisdom and insights that can lead you to the right path.
Trust Your Decisions
At my age and at this stage of life, I can hand-on heart offer this viewpoint:
When facing tough choices, remember that you have the power to make the best decisions for yourself. Sure, seek advice, and gather information… but ultimately, trust your gut. Only you know what truly aligns with your heart and values. Oh, and remember, it’s okay to make mistakes; they are opportunities to learn and grow. Because only you will have to live with the full consequences of your decisions and actions.
Conclusion
If you have scrolled to the bottom, and want a summary of my points made, here you go: You are just as incredible as the next person, and you have everything you need to create the life you desire. I encourage you to begin to embrace your personal resourcefulness (yes you do have resources). So, let your resourcefulness guide you towards a brighter future. Believe me, you don’t need fixing, regardless of what he or she has told you – you need a bit of self-belief and the courage to embrace your unique journey.
To rewrite your story, you must trust your intuition and the decisions you make, and never forget that the power to transform your life lies within you. Embrace this new story I have told you, and watch yourself soar to new heights you never thought possible. I’m telling you, we all change, we all evolve – I suggest that you grab the bull by the horns and Change on Purpose!
