It's time to own our good fortune . Why , when things are going well for us , do we so often attribute it to luck ? I can't believe this is happening to me . We say , when things are happening to us , or it's too good to be true , waiting for the other shoe to drop . So what is it about what's happening that you can't believe exactly ? To not believe is defined in the dictionary as being astounded by something . What is so astounding about what you have achieved ? What is so astounding about your success ? What is so astounding about things going your way ? Why is it too good to be true ? Why is it too good to be true ?
Speaker 1There's a distinction to be made here between true and truth . I hold that true is objective . It's verifiable , backed by evidence . Ps . If it happened to you , it's true . Truth , on the other hand , is subjective and attached to whatever story we have invested our beliefs in and our opinions in , often limiting beliefs , such as good things never happen to me . I'm too old to be given another chance . Everyone else deserves it more than I do . Well , if that is your truth , then of course you would find it too good to be true when something goes your way .
Speaker 1But despite what we may believe . By not claiming it , we aren't deferring some revocable good fortune or miracle . Take back of what we've received . Sitting around waiting for the other shoe to drop when things going well is fear , and if we allow ourselves to be bullied by fear instead of building upon the momentum of the moment , we hand our power over to the notion that we had nothing to do with it , that it was lucky and somehow it just happened to us , like winning the lottery and then being afraid of spending the money . We are playing the victim and diminishing our accomplishments . The irony is that when we think this way and are experiencing abundance , we're actually living in scarcity .
Speaker 1If we question why it's happening , it's vital to recognize that this is not happening to us , but that we created it . You created it , and that goes for all the BS that we complain about too . We create our own truth and we make our own opportunities . Why not move through the world intentionally , through your actions , rather than being limited by the stories that you tell yourself ? If we stop long enough to recognize our value and our values and to appreciate what is actually true , then , and only then , do we become open to the infinite possibilities that the universe offers us in every moment , but it's up to us to cultivate the awareness and the agency to follow through instead of being astounded when things unfold . Instead of being astounded when things unfold . It's a gift from the universe , yes , but one that you helped create . Be grateful , but no , it wasn't a coincidence , it was a co-creation .
