You Are The Captain

It’s been said that in our lives, we are the captain of our own ships.

This of course doesn’t mean that we always get to decide what happens in the world around us. Thing is, we’re often not in control of a bunch of what goes on “out there”.

What we are in control of, is how we choose to respond to whatever the heck is happening. I call this being the captain of your “shift”. Taking responsibility for who we’re going to be and how we’re going to be in relation to what life is bringing to our door. Are we going to respond from fear? Or… are we going to have the miracle of shifting our mind to Love.

I’m going to take it a step further and say that we're not only the captain of our ships and our ship… but we’re also the captains of our SH*T. Ha! We’re the captains of the sh*t we leave behind us, the sh*t we pulled in relationships, the sh*t we say and the sh*t we think.

So it’s wicked important to be aware of how we’re showing up as the captain. Are we operating a steady ship? You know the kind that moves steadfastly through the water and does what it's meant to do? Or is our ship leaving a trail of sh*t everywhere it goes?

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about how we can give ourselves permission to not have to keep doing what it is we've been doing. We don't have to keep saying what we've been saying. We don't have to keep thinking what we’ve been thinking or believing what we’ve been believing. We can steer toward a better destination and outcome.

And we absolutely don't have to stay stuck in the same generational patterns, that maybe our parents and their parents had previously.

We CAN have the self recognition that we’re the captain of our ship, that we get to clean up any sh*t we’ve left behind and shift our direction, perspective and reactions at any time we want.
