Day 99: Why Other People's Opinions Are Blocking What You Actually Want

There is very often doubt, conflicting thoughts, and other people’s opinions about what we should be doing or how we should be living.


It’s no wonder there is resistance to receiving what we say we want, with all of this going on.

It really is simple:

You are an energetic match to the thoughts you think most often.

That means what you’re in alignment with 51% of the time is what is coming into your life.


If you pay attention to the opinions of others and try to take them into account when making your decisions, you will find yourself getting what they think is good for you rather than what you truly want.


Your desire has been diluted or altered, possibly without your conscious awareness.


And then we wonder why we are working so hard to make something happen… and it still doesn’t.

Working hard and trying to make things happen is also part of the issue.

Because it means you are pushing or pulling instead of allowing.

The Teachings of Abraham explains it this way:

“When you really, really want something, are thinking about your desire, and are feeling pleasure from the thought, your current thought-vibration is in alignment with your desire—and we call that: allowing.

But when you really, really want something and are feeling anger, fear, or disappointment, that means you are focused upon the opposite of your desire; and, in doing so, you are introducing another non-matching vibration to the mix—and we call that: resistance.

The degree of negative emotion that you are experiencing indicates the degree of your resistance to your receiving your desire.”

Those negative emotions can come from many places.

Your own thoughts and actions.

And also outside influences you may think have no sway over you.

Other people may strongly campaign for what they feel is best for you.

It’s coming from their own beliefs, which are shaped by their own fears.

When someone is opposed to your desire for yourself, there are several ways you can cut that off.

First, they may not be the right person for you to share that desire with.

They don’t understand it.

Second, when you are receiving resistance, change the conversation.

Talk about something else.

You cannot debate or convince someone that you know what is best for you when they are committed to seeing it differently.

Remember that you are a sovereign woman.

You are in charge of yourself.

You are self-led.

You don’t live your life by committee.

Think about why you have given away your power in the past.

Why you allowed the opinions of others to influence your happiness.

When you clearly and confidently stand in your own power and choose your life, your emotional frequency will attract other strong people who are aligned with you.

Your highest priority is your sanity and your peace of mind.

And you are 100% in charge of what that looks like.

No one will completely understand the uniqueness of what makes you, you.

And you are under no obligation to explain or defend.

Simply live your life in a way that brings your soul peace and joy.

Today’s Gentle Practice

Take a quiet moment today.

Think about something you want.

Notice if there are any conflicting thoughts around it.

Any doubt.

Any outside voices.

Ask yourself:

“Is this mine… or did I pick this up from someone else?”

Then gently return to what you want.

Not what makes sense to others.

Not what feels safer.

What you actually want.

Stay with that for a few breaths.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear where you’ve noticed outside opinions influencing your decisions.

With you,
