smoke and mirrored out of your magick: time to take it back.

there is something that i have been thinking about heavy lately, the concept of “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” this quote attributed to Henry Ford, sums up life completely.
but it trips me out because so many of us have limiting beliefs and doubts about ourselves that the whole world reflects back to us. this constant nagging and undertone of YOU ARE NOT ENOUGH.
when i think about my relationships and the people i have interacted with in my life, i usually see this notion as their foundation. there is always this desire to be seen as worthy, whole and complete.
i know now that they were mirroring back to me what i needed to know about myself so i could outgrow and understand my own limits.
the problem with looking to validate your worth outside of yourself is that you believe that you lack it within yourself … and so you will ALWAYS miss the mark.
listen, life is quite literally what you make it. the choice to accept yourself and to believe in yourself is always open to you.
in fact, the only thing you have to do is decide and then get out of your own way.
what does that mean?
it means that the human part of you needs to get on board with the spirit part of you. you can’t neglect either. since we live in a world that doesn’t educate you much about spirit, you have to look inward for the answers. everything you need is inside of you.
if you believe that, it becomes true.
the thing about this game of life is that truth is subjective. the reason someone who started from zero can manifest anything they desire is that they create their reality inside their minds and hold onto it until it becomes physical. even when everyone dismisses them as fools and laughs in their faces.
they master their inner world.
the same inner world that is completely neglected in the physical reality we live in, and the narrative around it, is that it is fake or illusionary - when truly, it is more real than the reality we experience daily.
we have been ‘smoke and mirrored’ out of our own power by buying into the concept that magick is fake and that life is whatever it presents to you.
that you “just have to deal with it” because “it is what it is”
my friends, it is what it is until you choose for it to be something different.
your situation can look so shitty right now and you can decide that you are no longer going to feed your energy into it, and by choosing to do so you instantly shift your reality.
you have to almost reach a level that is considered “delusional.” you have to believe when no one else does because the physical world hasn’t caught up with the world you know you are creating … right now.
make the choice to detach from the chatter of the ego and the chatter of the external world. turn down the noise, trust yourself, and know that you are going to manifest all that you desire.
in a world where seeing is believing, you have to reprogram your mind to think the opposite -- you have to believe it before you see it.
your mind is a powerful tool, it is a lot like the internet. it can either be used as a tool or it can take over your life and use you as “its” tool.
