Success Like Magic

BY LISA CAVENDER, TRANSFORMATIONAL LIFE AND SUCCESS COACH CEO, INNERGY LTD.

Have you ever reflected upon what true success means for you? What success means to me now is so much different than it meant to me years ago.

Early in my career, when I was working as a Chartered Accountant in the Entrepreneurial Services Group at Ernst and Young, success was all about the numbers. My job was to calculate the bottom line and the total net worth.

But after studying and teaching personal growth and development for the last 30 years, what I have learned is that measuring the level of your net worth is SO much more than the numbers on a balance sheet.

What I have found is that your net worth is driven far more profoundly by the level of your self-worth – that intangible essence that comes from within.

You see the shocking truth is that you just can’t consistently outperform your self-image. You must believe that you are deserving and capable of everything that you dream of achieving in order to accomplish it!

I have realized that true wealth is really more of a state of “being” as opposed to a state of “having”. When we embody the essence of “true wealth” we are feeling free and in the flow.

We are calm and alert in both mind and body. We are clear about our passions and purpose, and we have a plan to live in alignment with them. We feel inspired and have good timing. We are tapped into our intuition and heed it. Then things unfold naturally and easily; often so easily that it seems like magic!

We expend effort towards the achievement of our goals to be sure, but we don’t have intense struggle. We attract the right people, situations, and events with ease. Work becomes play.

I realized that what you REALLY need to jump that gap from where you are to where you want to be is HOPE!

We feel a sense of contribution and fulfillment to being in the service of others. We have immense self-trust and an unwavering belief in our ability to overcome any challenges and obstacles.

We are free to be, do and have anything we set our minds to. After all, isn’t this the reason we want wealth in the first place? To have more freedom? Are you with me on that?

Having said that, I know that many of us have a large gap between where we are and our “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow” kind of life. You may be thinking, “That’s great Lisa, but it’s just not possible for me.”, or something similar. I realized that what you really need to jump that gap from where you are to where you want to be is hope!

And that’s where this edition’s theme comes in to save the day! You see, a lot of what Olive conveys and represents is hope. Hope that we can thrive and not just survive, hope that our dreams will be achieved, and our prayers answered. Hope that we can reclaim our personal and authentic power, so that we can live in alignment with our soul’s calling and bring more magic, ease, and flow into our everyday lives.

In the last few years, as I have been embarking upon my own journey of further transformation and empowerment, I came across the Colour Mirrors system and it has been an invaluable additional tool for me, as well as to add to the coaching programs and mentoring work that I do with clients.

As we bridge from the previous Yellow Edition into the Olive Edition, let’s have hope that with the right tools and coaching you can be empowered to reclaim your authentic power and have the inner and outer freedom you are seeking!

The C3 bottle from the Colour Mirrors System, which is olive over yellow (pictured below), is the perfect representation of this for me! It is all about the energy of the solar plexus and our personal power.

In my early career as an accountant, I noticed that in order to succeed you had to be powerful, in control, self-confident and out for yourself. (Remember the yellow power tie?)

Now that we are evolving away from that notion of power to a more authentic energy of empowerment, the addition of olive to the mix brings some green from the heart center and adds a softer grounded feeling.

In order to manifest your dreams and business goals with more ease, passion and purpose we need a new paradigm of power and manifestation that is based in power and love. Where both feminine and masculine views and energies are needed and valued. Where leaders empower their teams to express their true selves and their creativity without fear of being unfairly judged.

The pot of gold at the end of this rainbow for me is the Colour Mirrors Bottle 15 - The Magician (pictured below). It reminds us that we are indeed magical, that we are responsible (response-able) for how we act with ourselves and one another and that only authentic power will truly set us free.

Take a few minutes now to meditate on the colour olive. Alternatively, you can place your hands over the photo of the Magician bottle (below) and absorb its wonderful uplifting, empowering and magical energy so that you can be more free right now and achieve “Success Like Magic”. If you try out the exercise, please let me know how it goes. I’d love to hear from you! All my contact details are at www.LisaCavender360.com. Wishing you a magical rest of 2022 and beyond!
