I have always been fierce.
Growing up I was told that I was “too much”? I was told I was intense and uncontrollable. The things is, I was told these things as if there was something wrong with me. I grew up with the sense that my fierceness was aggressive and abusive. For many years I turned myself down and shut myself off so that others around me would not be uncomfortable.
Turns out…That really didn’t work for me!
Have you ever done that? Cut off pieces of you in order to make others feel comfortable? Shut yourself down in order to fit in? Is that working for you?
Let’s look at this word fierce, shall we?
The current definition of fierce is: having or displaying an intense or ferocious aggressiveness.
If we look at the etymology of the word in a dictionary dated prior to 1946, the definition of fierce is: proud, noble, bold, mighty, great.
Well that sounds more like it! What if this is one of those lies we’re told in order to keep us small and controllable? That we’re aggressive and ferocious? I know people have been accusing me of that my whole life. What if people are always accusing you of what they themselves are doing? I mean, how kind is it to ask someone to not be them?
What energies would be available to you if you embodied all of you? What could you change and create if you chose to fiercely be you?
There is a fierceness that is required in order to create a different world. A different reality.
Martin Luther King, Jr was fierce. Rosa Parks was fierce. Joan of Arc was fierce. Nelson Mandela was fierce. Ghandi was fierce. See a trend here?
Most of the greatest social changes that have occurred have been created because one person had a fierce point of view that something needed to change. A true leader forges a new path even if no one else is willing to go on that journey with them.
We all have gifts and abilities that have the potential to create great change. Are we allowing ourselves to embody them? Or are we hiding because we don’t want to upset anyone?
What if there is another possibility available?
As an Access Consciousness® Certified Facilitator, I’ve had the great pleasure of working with these amazing tools to empower my clients into creating the life they know is possible, beyond what this reality dictates. I’d like to share with you some of the questions I’ve used personally and professionally to facilitate change.
What if you could be fierce with your creations and your business?
Have you ever had an amazing idea and then you shared it with someone else who didn’t “get it” and so you didn’t create it? How many times have you given up you in favor of someone else’s point of view or projection?
What would the world be like today if Martin Luther King, Jr. had given up on his dream?
What dream have you given up on that if you chose to create it would change everything?
What else is possible you haven’t even imagined yet?
What if you could be fierce with your awareness and your choices?
What do you know that no one else knows that if you allowed yourself to know it, be it and have it would change everything?
We are so much more aware than we give ourselves credit for. Also, each of us has a gift that only we can give to the world. Sometimes, we don’t even know what that gif is exactly. I know I’m still uncovering my gifts and abilities!
What if, everyday, you could make one choice that will bring you one step closer to uncovering the magic of you? That’s really all it takes. Choice. A choice will create a new set of possibilities for you and if you chose something everyday, where would you be in a year?
What if you could be fiercely happy?
What if the purpose of life was to have fun? How much fun can you have creating the life of your dreams?
We are taught that we must “work hard” in order to create. Is this really true for you?
I know if I “work hard” things just get….hard! When I’m having fun and following the energy of what is light and true for me, things are easy! I wouldn’t choose that for what reason?
What grand and glorious adventure can you have today?
What if you could have and be you with such fierceness, that nothing could stop you from being all of you?
Be the magic you are,
