"Magic (ma-JIC): extraordinary power or influence apparently from a supernatural source". Trying to define magic is difficult at best. It is used as a word to define rather than a word that can be defined. The same can be said about who you are. We try to define ourselves, but there are no adequate words to describe the complexity of who we are. We can describe what we look like, what kind of work we do, our ethnic heritage, or our gender. Still, it doesn't come close to the truth about what animates your being. You are a mystery. You are a magician.
Historians, philosophers, scientists, and theologians have searched for the origin and meaning of existence since the beginning of time. Various religions were born out of the attempt to define the undefinable. We often engage in an endless effort to define who, what and why we are. We measure ourselves against others and their achievements. Every day we are inundated with media images of what is acceptable or unacceptable. There is a constant search for an explanation of the unexplainable. You are who you are and that is constantly changing. You are delightfully indescribable. Every moment you are remade. Every morning when you open your eyes, you start a new journey. The choices and decisions you make color and change "who" you are. You are an indefinable, magical being. Did you forget this? Have you allowed the world to take your magic away? Every time you have an idea or a task and give it life - you are creating! From preparing a meal for your family or painting a picture. Everything you do adds another dimension to who "you" are. Life is a mystery and by accepting this fact you will become one with it and be more able to maneuver with it.
Think back and remember the last time you were truly "in tune" with something you wanted to achieve. Remember how easy and enjoyable it was to put all the puzzle pieces together to create the final result? You weren't anxious and didn't care one bit about what other people thought or did. You were one with the energy of your creation. The same dynamic is possible in all aspects of your life. By becoming one with the magical energy of who you are, you create. You can also create your limitations by building walls of fear and inadequacy. Embrace your strength; consider what you create each day. If you can put together the ingredients to make an apple pie, you can use the same recipe to make anything else you desire. Create a recipe that works for you. Be in tune with the energy of what you want to bring into your life. If you have made several attempts with no apparent success, try another method. Add or subtract something from the recipe. Be in tune with the universal power of magic.
Where is your energy at this moment? Are you focusing on life-affirming activities or catching up on what someone else is doing or not doing? Is your energy focused on getting someone else to change or do what you want them to do? What is the topic of most of your conversations? Think back to your last conversation - did you share hopes, dreams, and ideas or complain that things weren't going the way you wanted them to? A large percentage of our words, thoughts, and energy are devoted to what is happening around us. By understanding that you are a powerful, magical being, you reclaim the power that is wasted on things you cannot control. You cannot control another person's emotions or actions. If someone is in your life and causes you anxiety - it is because of your choice to remain a part of their life. If you are not happy with the situation you are in, that is your choice. You are not your past. You are not what someone has done to you or what has been taken from you. The events and people in your life have served to shape "who" you are at this moment. Today's events will further refine who you are tomorrow - and so on…
To become a truly empowered being, you must reach down into the magical place within you and tap into your power. It doesn't matter what your spiritual or theological beliefs are. What is important is that you understand the fact that you are the creator. what do you want to create? Peace, harmony, and joy, or chaos and drama? Do you feel angry and frustrated all the time? Being angry or frustrated is only beneficial if it serves to point you in a different direction. Conflict can be an incredible catalyst for change if you use the energy to move it. Choose a different path or see things from a different perspective. It doesn't matter how you do it, what matters is that you get to where you want to be.
You are who you are and that is "magical". Don't let anything diminish your power. Allowing your inner self to grow and blossom is a process. Magic happens when you jump into the mystery and become what you wish to be. Like attracts like - to manifest magic, you must be magic. Just as you cannot adequately define the mystery of life, do not try to define "you". Embrace the undiscovered parts of who you are. Embark on a journey to uncover the secret that resides within you. If you have to define yourself, you are a magician.
