How to Find Your Power When Everything Feels Out of Control
Every frustration.
Every “no.”
Every delay or detour.
They’re all portals; invitations to build something deeper, wiser, and stronger inside of us!
Have you ever had one of those days where literally everything feels off?
You spill your coffee.
Your kid melts down.
Your email glitches.
Your plans fall apart for the third time this week.
And you just sit there thinking, “Seriously, Universe?!”
Yeah, me too.
But lately, I’ve been trying something different.
Instead of spiraling or blaming Mercury retrograde,
(or looking up real estate in Costa Rica- hello beach life)
I take a breath and whisper to myself:
“This too is from the Light.”
That little sentence has changed everything!
It’s become my spiritual reset button.
One of my favorite teachers, David Ghiyam, calls it “spiritual weight training.”
He reminded me that the Light (aka the Creator) isn’t testing us to punish us; it’s inviting us to expand!
Every frustration.
Every “no.”
Every delay or detour.
They’re all portals; invitations to build something deeper, wiser, and stronger inside of us!
☀️ The Hidden Obsession with Control
I’ll be real with you: we are so addicted to control. And half the time, we don’t even know it!
Control wears a lot of disguises:
• The “I’ll fix it fast” mode when things go sideways.
• The “I’ll just do it myself” energy that leaves us exhausted.
• The overthinking spiral that pretends to be wisdom, but is really fear in heels.
But what if every time something didn’t go your way, it was actually a sacred invitation to build something better inside you?
Like a steadier nervous system.
A softer heart.
A deeper trust muscle that doesn’t flinch when life gets crunchy.
🎯 The Comfort Zone Is a Trickster
David dropped a line that hit me right in the gut:
“When you cling to comfort, it’s usually because your fear of losing control is louder than your soul’s call to grow.”
Whew. That one stung!
Because sometimes we think we’re being “logical” or “safe,”
when really we’re just avoiding being disappointed, rejected, or seen.
That’s not wisdom!
That is self-protection disguised as caution!
But growth doesn’t happen where it’s cozy.
It happens when we stretch, sweat, and surrender.
Even if it’s just catching yourself mid–road rage and whispering,
“There’s gold here for me.”
✨ The Power in the Pause
Here’s the game I’ve started playing with the Creator (and trust me, the Creator has the best sense of humor):
Every time something frustrates me, whether it’s tech fails, someone misunderstands me, or plans shift, I pause and ask:
“Okay, this too is from the Light. Where am I leaking energy? Where am I not connected?”
It doesn’t fix the situation immediately…
But it changes me.
And that shift? That’s the secret sauce of manifestation!! Because energy moves where presence leads!
👁️ You’re Not Alone
Let’s be honest we’ve all had those “I poured my soul into this post and… crickets” moments.
Or the “why does IKEA hate me” days when deliveries are delayed and nothing aligns.
Those are your training days!
That’s the gym where your spiritual muscles get built.
So instead of collapsing into defeat, try saying:
“This isn’t rejection. This is refinement. This is redirection. This is Light teaching me to remember who I am.”
🌱 Soul Practice for Today
Try this simple 3-step practice:
1. Catch yourself three times today when you feel frustrated, disappointed, or powerless.
2. In that exact moment, pause and say-
“This too is from the Light.”
(Or if you’re me, “There’s gold here for me.”)
3. Feel that shift, even if it’s tiny! That’s you expanding your vessel for miracles!
💎 Real Talk
At the end of the day, we’re all just trying to remember who we are - while surviving group texts, weird algorithms, and 37 unread emails.
But here’s the thing:
You are not powerless!
You’re just being invited to plug back in!
So the next time life throws lemons 🍋
..or ghosted emails
..delayed deliveries
..or calls from the school nurse! Remember to pause, smile, and breathe.
And repeat this mantra with me:
✨ “This too is from the Light. There’s gold here for me.” ✨
Stay Lit From Within
