The Power of Your Pen: You are the author of your story!

Life is one BIG story and the world is creating the novel of humanity in every moment.  Every single thought we have, feeling we express or repress, and every action we take or do not take is creating the story of our lives. We are either creating our stories through the power of our love pen or our fear pen.  When we author our stories in fear we deny our story to be filled with happiness and a zest for life.  Our fear pen writes in the shadows and doesn't allow the light in our lives to shine though. Our fear pen really never allows to write a new chapter in our lives because it only knows how to write in and re-write the horror, pain and suffering of the past.  If the fear pen is able to create a new chapter it fills the pages with the same ole drama, misery, self-sabotaging recollections of the bad and the ugly and rarely the good. 

Now our love pen, that's a whole new literary genius.  It has a power of its own and creates words of lyrical delight on the white pages of our lives.  The love pen writes from a place of forgiveness, acceptance and gratitude for all that is good and bad in our lives.  The love pen holds no grudges, it is free from the captivity of the past bondage in our lives.  The love pen knows that what happened to us is not who we are but events that happened in our lives.  The love pen is brave, courageous and seeks to share the authenticity of who we are deep in our souls.  The story of our lives written with the love pen speak the truth, embraces every part of who we are, honors our experiences and allows us to celebrate the light in all situations.

Your pen comes in the form of the thoughts you think, the actions you take and the words you speak.  The life you live is the result of the story you tell yourself, others and the stories that live in your heart.  If you are living in fear you will think, speak, feel and behave fearfully. Fear shows up as doubt, worry, anxiety, panic, shame, guilt, procrastination, denial, immobilization and a long list of other things that keep you captive within your own skin. When you live in  love it shows up as confidence, trust, acceptance, faith, action, movement and ultimately knowing all may not be perfect but all is well.

Creating your life with your love pen takes more work and of course courage but the journey and the ending is so much more fulfilling.  The choice is yours.  Live and create in fear or live and create in love; it's that simple.  In every second of your life you are creating not only your story but the legacy you'll leave for your children and their children.  What story do you want BE, LIVE, CREATE and  leave behind?

If you want to live different, better, bigger, more joyful -- then stop telling the sob stories, the pity stories, the "I live in the past" stories and all the other stories that DEFEAT your greatness and dim your light.  Take back your power today and start telling stories of love, courage, victory, success and see how your life will dramatically change.

I hope you choose to pick up a new, powerful pen today.  The pen of love and create the life you dream of, a life that fulfills you, a life that makes you and your family proud...a life that you love.
