Does a Free, Never-Ending Power Supply Sound Too Good to be True?

It’s closer than you think

We turn to a lot of things to “give us energy”. Caffeine, certain foods (but not others!), exercise routines, music, driving fast, etc. We feel empowered when we wear a great outfit or have a good hair day. We can get a boost from status symbols such as the car we drive or the label on our kid’s diaper bag.

The problem with turning to external material things as our source of power is that they are always temporary and short lived, and the so-called effects are superficial. Even worse, they open the door to the flip side of the coin. If you don’t have access to your “thing”, you will have to suffer the consequence of not feeling your best. When we rely on a thing as our source, there is the danger of it being taken away or it not being available for us when we think we need it.

Learn to rely instead on the true source of your power. Your true supply is unlimited, it is available at all times and under every circumstance, and it is even intelligent! Intelligent meaning it is there only for your good and in just the right amount. This source is always on the job, and it never takes a break. One other thing, this source is already inside of you! You reside within it, and it resides within you. Your true source of power is the same power that created and governs the universe and everything contained within it. Some even call this source, “Source”. You can call it God, Source, Mind, Divine Love, Spirit, Universal Intelligence, Creator….But know that this is what energizes and animates you.

Digging deep and pondering this, it really begins to feel silly that we fall into the trap of believing that we need some man-made thing to power us.

Take little breaks throughout your day to connect with this source. Do it when you are feeling low AND when you are feeling high. It can look something like this:

“Hi, I just want to connect here with you for a moment and remind myself that you are my source. You are always there for me. Thank you for taking such good care of me. I trust you.”

If you feel as if you are humanly struggling with something, you might want to add something like this:

“I’m humanly struggling with ______________ today. I want to hand this over to you. Thank you for being there for me!”

The next time you are tempted to think that your day isn’t going to go well because you haven’t had a cup of coffee or a protein shake in a while, center yourself and affirm your true source of energy. You will rock it! It’s really not too good to be true. You do have a free, never-ending power supply. Tap into it!
