We are beginning to realize that the power rests in us, that we can choose to create our life the way we want it to be.

Change happens not by trying to make yourself change, but by becoming conscious of what's not working.
Shakti Gawain
Image
We may overcompensate for our feelings of powerlessness by attempting to control and manipulate other people and our environment. Or we may eventually burst forth with uncontrolled rage that is highly exaggerated and distorted by its long suppression.
Shakti Gawain

By learning to contact, listen to, and act on our intuition, we can directly connect to the higher power of the universe and allow it to become our guiding force.
