The Power of Creating Your Own Experiences

Have you ever found yourself in a situation that was less than what you had hoped for?

Recently my team and I paid for a booth at an expo that promised to bring in large crowds and many like-minded vendors. What we got was far from what had been promised.

There were half as many vendors as predicted. Among the participating vendors, there was an overall feeling of desperation and lack (which completely conflicted with the products and services they provide to the public). Traffic was almost non-existent; approximately 100 people passed through the expo the entire first day! It was definitely not worth the time and expense.

The Power of Creating Your Own Experiences

I had a feeling of uneasiness that reminded me of when I was sixteen and arrived at a really bad school dance that only a few people bothered to attend. My mind said "You don't belong here. Don't even set your booth up - just walk out before anyone notices!" I was scheduled to speak at 4:00 p.m., but to whom? Only a trickle of people walked in the door. Who was going to stay and listen to the scheduled speakers?

Have you ever been faced with a similar situation, where you were very disappointed (or even shocked) at the gap between what you thought you would receive and what you actually received. What did you do?

Here is a suggestion for what you CAN do when faced with this kind of situation in the future. You can exercise your right to create your own happiness and fulfillment by making a choice.

Did you know that, regardless of the circumstance you're in, you always have THREE CHOICES?

Here they are:

1. Accept

This does not mean you agree with the situation. It simply means you don't waste your time and energy wishing it was different. Instead, you see it for what it really is, and you accept that it is what it is.

2. Change

The way you choose to view the world greatly influences the world's impact on you. By changing you perspective to a loving, positive, non-threatening point of view, your life can become very joyful very quickly.

3. Leave

How many times have you stayed in a situation that you were complete with because you felt you had to? There are no chains binding you! Moving on is a natural part of life. Sometimes the appropriate action is to exit. After you have done all you can do, leave!

Once you begin exercising your three choices, you will enjoy liberation and increased freedom.

At the poorly attended expo, my team and I chose to relax, give up all resistance, and behave as if there were hundreds of people visiting our booth. We focused on the people who did show up. It was obvious those people could feel the positive attitude, clarity, and joy coming from our booth. They made comments such as, "I can just feel the power of what you're doing!" And " You guys are different - you seem so happy to be here!"

My team and I had a lot of fun with the people who bought books and signed up to receive more information. A number of them even stayed to hear my speech - I had the largest audience of any of the speakers!

What was the secret to making a silk purse out of a sow's ear?

We exercised our three choices (to accept, leave or change) and followed our hearts!

Have you ever found yourself in a situation that did not make sense to your mind, but your heart knew full well what you had to do? Checking in with yourself is a powerful tool that can give you confidence and strength , even in awkward times. It may not make sense at the time, but as long as you honor what is right for YOU, you will always have a strength that does not come from your head. Instead, this strength comes from "being out of your mind" enough to follow what's true for you.

I felt such gratitude as I witnessed my team staying focused on the commitment we had made to present ourselves professionally, regardless of how well others had kept their promises. We had power and confidence, and it showed. We felt great despite the circumstances. We exercised our right to be 100% responsible for our experience.

This expo was a great example of the power of being out of your mind, which increases your personal power. Personal power is real power - the kind that is solid, regardless of the choices the world around you makes.

Don't take my word for it - try it for yourself! Exercise your three choices in any area of your life where you are frustrated, stuck, or bothered, and see what happens. Remember, YOU are responsible for your experience. Which experience will you choose to have?
