To Help You Understand and Fully Embrace Your Power!
By Deborah M. Cofer
Women are natural nurturers of others but, for the most part, we have not been taught and do not clearly understand the importance of our loving and nurturing ourselves. Not doing and providing for ourselves, in the same manner that we endeavor to do for and give to others, causes an imbalance in our emotions as well as chaos in our lives. Knowing and Xhibiting our value, at all times, is one of the most emotionally, spiritually and soulfully empowering “Acts” we can engage in. And, like the saying goes, “people will always treat us in accordance to what we are willing to allow.” No matter what we have been conditioned to believe our value to ourselves, our families and the world, in general is even greater than the sum-total of our collective beliefs. The key, however, to gaining a crystal clear understanding of who we were created to be can only be found within the core of our souls and only we can do the work that is required to reveal the truth of the power we possess.
We are the first teachers of all humankind, the carriers of life and the rock that holds our families together. Ours are the shoulders others cry on and the ones who are there when no-one else is. We are the ones who bear the burdens and the ones who stand strong through the trials and tribulations of life. Many of us have learned to ride the Tsunami waves of indifference and inequality…and rise out of the ashes of the fires that rage around us…with the majestic beauty and grace of the phoenix. Our strength, individually and collectively gives us value greater than we or anyone else can place on us.
Possessing Xtraordinary love for ourselves and a clear sense of our value is essential to the process of confidently and powerfully being who we are, in the present moment, as we continue to grow and evolve into the Xceptional women we were created to be. Toward the attainment and enhancement of this goal, below is a Daily Self-Actualization Declaration that I designed Xclusively to help women like you recognize, accept, embrace and Xuberantly Xhibit the uniqueness of the got-it-going on “SISTAH” you really are. All you have to do is to take a daily meditative time-out to read and reinforce the wisdom provided so that you can connect to, feel and be fully charged by the totality of the power, poise, potential and presence you really possess. This daily Xercise will provide your soul with the nuclear nourishment it needs, uplift your spirit to new heights of Xcellence and jump-start your day whenever your spirit is dragging.
Overtime, this truth will become etched within your mind and heart and begin to illuminate your uniqueness, value and importance to both you and others. You will be amazed with the results of your efforts, as well as, become passionately Xcited about how Xercising your God-given power on a regular basis, will enable you to see, detract and permanently get rid of any negativity seeking entry into your very sacred and simply sensational life. And, if you’d like, feel free to drop me a brief note to let me know how this super-naturally energizing power-tool is working for you. And as you do the work to grow and become the dynamic woman you were created to be, I’ll be sending lots of Super-Sized “Sistah Power” energy into the universe to help you live Xuberantly, love wholeheartedly and master the process of strategically maneuvering around, rising above and soaring beyond the reach of the people, places, things and situations that don’t support and enhance the truth of your awesomeness.
1. I will not submit to people who need me to serve as a “sacrificial lamb” in order to satiate their own sense of insecurity and inadequacy;
2. I will not allow that which is unnatural to my super-natural nature to become the model by which my life is guided and/or governed;
3. I will not work for any organization that does not respect, provide for, and protect my needs as a woman, mother, and grandmother;
4. I will not engage in certified “Acts” of ignorance in order to “fit in” where I am clearly not loved with the love of the Lord;
5. I will not grant a “passport” to anyone seeking entry into my private space…who come with baggage filled with nothing more than superficial trinkets and a 365 magnum loaded with bullets that fire jealousy, hatred, bigotry, gossip, ego-gorging, idol worshiping, etc. in my direction;
6. I will not do to others what I do not want them to do to me;
7. I will not be forced into living within other people’s limitations;
8. I will not engage in religious activities of any type that don’t promote, support, and sustain positive spiritual growth;
9. I will not trespass against those who trespass against me, but rather immediately turn them over to God so that I can continue living the life I was created and born into this world to fully Xperience and live “more abundantly;”
10. I will not submit to participating in ungodly “Acts” of any type with anyone…for any reason;
11. I will not serve as a “scapegoat” for the feudal and often fatal “Acts” of those who choose to serve God in their own egotistical and self-serving way;
12. I will not submit to being spiritually raped and/or molested, either blatantly or subliminally, in order to help others “live large” while me and mine struggle to merely Xist…and barely survive under conditions that are both ungodly and inhumane. Charity begins at home. So, I will take care of home first and give what I can to others!
