Amber Lyon Quotes

while you may not have the full plan or understand where the next step will lead you, trust that the action you take will always lead to where you need to be.

✺FOUR REMINDERS FOR WHEN YOU GET CAUGHT IN OVERTHINKING 1. Taking action will always give you more clarity than trying to figure it out in the isolation of your mind. 2. You don’t need to know how to do step six or seven when you are on step one. 3. If you want new experiences, you have to be open to taking new actions. 4. Trust that the magic of your life exists in not fully understanding what will happen next.

What we can control, however, is how we show up to this day. The attitude we bring to this day determines what we are attuned to notice most.

You Get to Choose How You Respond to Challenge

The mind resists change because it wants to remain in the realm of what’s familiar. But when what’s familiar no longer feels good, you must consciously push yourself to practise a new way of being in the world. And when you do so, you’ll begin to emit a new energy from your core, attracting more loving experiences, people and situations into your life.

When we wholeheartedly trust that life is always working in our favour, we can trust that the right people will always show up in our lives.

Our fundamental creative power in life is the ability to choose. To choose our thoughts, our habits, our behaviours, our relationships, our careers and even our identities.

We see the world not as it is, but as we are, or as we are conditioned to see it.

The primary focus is to connect so deeply to your authenticity and what brings you joy that your outer world reflects and draws towards you more experiences that affirm this state of being.

I was constantly trying to find myself in the world around me

Magnetism is all about acting in alignment with your authenticity and whatever vision you have for your life, letting go of the details around how it all unfolds.

The problems in your life are much less about the things that are happening, and much more to do with the way you see them.

As our magnetic mind screens our environment for evidence that validates the stories we tell ourselves and ignores the evidence that does not, our worlds suddenly become a reflection of what we look for, rather than what is.

Surrender statement = ‘This is no longer working for me; I open myself up to finding a new way of showing up in the world

Whatever you lose through showing up more authentically is making space for more aligned connections and opportunities to enter your life.

Magnetism requires us to take responsibility for our internal world and how our inner state shapes what we experience.

It’s crucial to create distance between what is happening and your thoughts, feelings and assumptions about it. Because the less space you have, the more you assume your thoughts to be an accurate reflection of reality when more often than not, they are simply a justification for how you feel in the moment

Except no one has it all figured it – even when it appears so. In fact, if someone says that they do, it’s often a good sign to run in the other direction. Each experience informs us of the next step to take. Our passions are supposed to change and adapt as we grow and learn new things.

But not all paths are immediately clear, and although it’s scary to walk a path we’re not sure leads anywhere, that’s what life asks of us. To trust that we’re going to be ok walking in the dark.

If you feel you can’t figure something out, it’s likely because you do not have enough information right now. Spending all your energy thinking without sufficient information leads to mental stress and anxiety.

Our paradigms determine which information from our environment we prioritise and where our focus naturally lands.

External changes always start with internal shifts. To change your life, you must start, quite simply, by changing the way you see it.

There is no bound- ary of what’s within reach to everyone. What is ‘realistic’ is set by each of us personally, defined by our own unique set of expe- riences, desires and beliefs. What’s realistic to someone else is a reflection of what they believe is possible in life, but that doesn’t have to be your truth.

Healing is forgiving the pain of your past, knowing it has shaped you into who you are today.

When you learn to like yourself, you will radiate that energy into every space you enter.

When you surrender the idea that someone else is going to save the day, you take back your power to save it yourself. You are capable of change at any moment. If what you’ve created so far no longer feels good, you can shift your focus, energy and actions to bring about a new reality.

Perhaps you’ll have more resources, skills and time in the future, but perhaps not. The idea that you are not ready is an illusion. The truth is you are ready when you decide you are. In fact your very desire for something is an indication that you are being called forward. The question is: will you take the first step?

Running from difficult conversations and uncomfortable truths blocks you from having deep, meaningful connections with others.

Sacrificing your needs for the sake of meeting others’ is a fast track to burnout.

When we expect the worst of things, we prevent ourselves from showing up with the energy required to prove ourselves wrong.

What may not make sense now is leading you to what will in time.

Trust that what you desire is already on its way to you.

Stay soft. Stay open. Let it in.

And one of our greatest challenges in life is to stay soft to what could be when it would be so much easier to harden.

It’s not about avoiding failure but embracing it as part of the ride towards success.

What could I do this weekend to nourish my mind, body or soul?

AFFIRMATION ‘I am a magnet for joy. When I focus on the good, the good gets better. I radiate this energy into every room that I enter.

Trying to control the world and what happens next is like trying to swim upstream against the flow – we exert a lot of energy and end up exactly where we started.

When we flow with the river of our lives, we will always arrive where we are meant to be.

Life will always be sending a constant flow of personalised invitations to stress. It is up to you whether you wish to keep accepting.

Sometimes, despite our love and effort, things don’t grow to be what we would have liked – but sometimes they do. It’s not our job to try to figure out what’s going to grow and what will not. Our job is to stay open to pouring into our beginnings, even when we have been disappointed in the past.

TODAY’S INVITATION Be like the day: release the judgment, expectations and pressure to be anything other than what you are. You will rise and you will fall, you will shine and you will pour and, when all is said and done, you’ll realise there was never any requirement for anything other than to simply be. Allow yourself to just be and feel whatever feels most truthful to you in this moment.

What would my truest self do in this situation?

✺THREE REMINDERS FOR WHEN YOU ARE STARTING A NEW SELF-CARE PRACTICE 1. The way to close the gap between the life you have now and the life you crave for yourself is through consistent action. 2. The work you put in today will be enjoyed by your future self. 3. Every little bit of effort accumulates.

Because when you are in tune with what you need in order to feel your best, you have so much more energy to give to the world.

True love says, I see you, I hear you and I accept you as you are.

I wake up next to a loving partner, with a connection that is stable, honest and filled with respect. I live in a peaceful home, with no raised voices and only kind, direct, truthful words. I have a successful career doing what I love most. But, most importantly, there is a peace within myself – deep inner knowing that everything is going to be ok. I am capable of finding the light no matter the darkness . . . because I am the light.

And do you know what her mother said to me when my arms were aching and my throat so dry from singing? She told me to leave the child alone. Amber will always find her way in her own way. She is like her mother in that. Her mother did things as she chose, and woe to any man to tell her different.” Admiration rang in his tone. “And did Amber find her way?” “She did. She picked up my carving knife and made a bird of wax so she could fly back home whenever she wanted.” “Really? Do you have it?” He snorted. “No! It was a badly done. What eight-year-old can carve a bird? But she had stopped crying, and so I let her keep carving.” He threw back the rest of his drink, then stretched out his legs with a smile. “I trust you, my lord, with my greatest treasure. Find her a husband who will let her find her own way, yes?
