Life is there for us to live our own dreams and not to live it through others. It must be with a freedom of expression of our true nature, desires and birthright gifts and not about compromising in any shape or form to fit in. It is not about attaching to a label to derive some form of ownership or identity as everyone should be his or her owner and should derive his or her own identity from their own true nature. But it’s a process to get to this level of living and it’s ours for the taking when we learn how to align our state of being with our full confidence.

Remain hopeful during uncertainties
From my eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn Marshall
Remain hopeful during uncertainties to keep your vibrations high.
Sometimes we are put in “what may appear to us as harsh” situations for us to recognize our true divine gifts and talents. Choose the best steps to empower yourself from this situation and it will open up new possibilities and experiences in your life which would serve you well on your journey ahead. Always make the choice to empower yourself rather than succumb to defeat of any sort, the likes of self pity etc.
Meeting needs of an interdependent relationship
From my eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn Marshall
Be cognizant of each other’s needs to “be at home” in any interdependent relationship.
Give them what they truly want from us for them to “be at home”. Consider this carefully as we sometimes tend to think that we are meeting someone else’s need to “be at home” in an interdependent relationship when we give them what we think they want because that’s what we want from them, when this may not be what they truly need from us.
Allow others to also change for the better
From the eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn Marshall
Allow others the space to change for the better
We should not hold people to their “mistakes” of the past if they have changed or are showing signs that they are willing to change for the better. We too would not like others to hold us to our “mistakes” if we have grown and move on from the state of being that we were in at the time of the “mistake”. In other words, allow others the space to change for the better and try to understand them from their current, changed state and not from their previous state. Being able to do so shows spiritual maturity on our part.
Savor the process to getting there
From my eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn Marshall
While it’s important to focus and work on our dreams, it’s equally important for us to enjoy the process to getting there, one moment at a time.
Being grateful for where we are in the process helps us to be in that state where we can enjoy the moment and hence enjoy the process. Patience comes from enjoying the moment. Impatience comes from focusing only on the outcome and ignoring the joy that can come from the process.
Saying sorry to another is ultimately about us
From my eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn Marshall
It’s beneficial to us when we say to another that we are sorry if our action toward them was not of our highest form as it would not have produced the results that was in alignment with our highest aspirations. Saying that we are sorry gives us a second chance to achieve that optimal results. Remember, we are all a work in progress.
Being ready to seize that opportunity
There are certain things in life that are meant for each of us to help with our growth but we don’t always know how to get it. When we go about life with anger, greed, lack of integrity, lack of compassion, fear, low self esteem, worrying about what people will say etc. instead of being our authentic self, we delay the time these things come to us. When we follow the guidance of our hearts or intuition/gut feelings which is the guidance from our soul, we go about getting what is meant for us the quickest. In other words, making ourselves ready for when the Universe brings that opportunity to us so we can be in the right “state of being” to act on it as opposed to missing it because we are unprepared.
On Spiritual Maturity
On Spiritual Maturity:- When we can readily assess our emotions and move pass the limiting ones to be in a state of love rather than succumbing to them.
Stuck in emotional confusion?
From my eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn Marshall
Your emotional pain is caused when “your perception of what’s in front of you” seems worse than what you expected.
If there is nothing you can do to get justice or fairness then you can choose to learn from the experience by seeing what benefits you the most rather than succumbing to your feelings of emotional pain. Whatever it is has already happened and succumbing to the “emotional pain” will only harm you. So, choose to not create that “emotional wound”.
See “obstacles and challenges” in the best “light”
See “obstacles and challenges” in the best light, as an opportunity to grow.
