"I'm the One" begins "Unseen, Undiscovered" and ends with "I've always been there. Here I am. Right here NOW, I'm YOU!"

Isn't it true that we sometimes lose sight of who we are? Not like we don't know who we are. We all have a sense of who we are, however sometimes we get caught up in the things that take us off track just for a little while. Then after the rollercoaster ride is over, we wonder how we ever got on such a horrible ride to begin with.

Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, who simply needed to click her heels three times, the ability to click her heels had always been there. She always had the ability to do that, but she hadn't.

In life, we may lose sight of our ability, but it's always there. I believe we are all born with what we need to be all of who were are. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, we find out or learn through our experiences that some things just aren't possible, or are they? Perhaps we've simply been taught or we've bought into what others have said or what we think our eyes have seen.

Let's take a look at just how it happens.

Often everything we need is all around us. And all that's needed is a request to be made for it, except we've probably ask for something we really and truly needed in life before but received a "NO" to the request. And guess what? We say to ourselves, well, I'll never ask for that again? As a matter of fact, I'm not going to ask for anything if I can help it.

Sure I'm being extreme but you know we've all done that. One bad experience and we don't take the chance again.

We also tend to dwell in what we don't have, so we don't stop to look up into the world of possibility to see what we can have.

My husband and I had furniture in our home for four years that we were not using. It was just sitting there waiting for me to figure what to do with it. I had the thought on many occasions that I'd buy something I really wanted. I made one feeble attempt to sell the furniture by asking a friend if she knew anyone looking for furniture.

I had basically resolved that we would have it until It was taking up space but I hadn't really found anything that was a must have to replace it.

Then when we decided to move, I was clear I wasn't taking that furniture with me. It had served its purpose and it was time to depart from it one way or another. So a long time friend and colleague of mine came over to help me pack. And as I was sharing with her the story of the furniture, she said "well, I need more furniture".

"Fantastic, come by and pick it up and it's yours", I said.

A few days later she shared the difference it made having new furniture in her home, and the opportunity it was for her and her son to spend quality time in their family room together just watching TV.

We laughed about it, because we see each daily and I never thought to ask her if she needed furniture. A spontaneous conversation about furniture presented an opportunity to the two of us to see how what we need is always a conversation away. Some things are clearly there to be had, if only we ask.

The power and ability to ask was "always there" within her. She just hadn't asked! The power and ability to share about the furniture was "always there". I just hadn't shared.

Isn't that how life unfolds?

Sometimes we don't realize it, but we do have what we need to have what we want. The power and ability is there and it always has been. Don't lose sight of that.

You've always had what you need to have what you want. Nothing stops you, except you. The Poem says, "Un-seen, Un-discovered", yet in the end "I've always been there. Here I am, right here NOW. I'm YOU!"

Once again, The Power Lives Within YOU, and it's Always Been There!!!

Let it emerge!!!
