To be assertive is a powerful feeling, the confidence to pursue our personal desires and to direct our personal resources towards the attainment of our aspirations.
Too often we let judgements get in the way of our own power to be assertive, not wanting to be seen as ‘pushy’ or ‘arrogant’ we drop back, taking up the cause for another person’s dream, deeming that to be more important than our own.
Here’s the thing though, when we put our own energy into something that matters to us, that energy becomes the thing that drives us, it’s like a self filling fuel tank, pursuing our dreams becomes the driver to pursue our dreams.
The more assertive we are, the more assertive we become.
Obstacles become the very platforms we climb up on to see further into the future. The challenges we face, and overcome, build our resilience, testing our strength. When we pursue what matters to us we become a more powerful version of ourselves.
There is a powerhouse within you responsible for continual growth, a part that constantly refreshes and redefines who we are, in the light of our own personal experiences. That is the energy of the liver.
The liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself, you could donate some of your liver to another person and you’d both have a fully functioning liver. And fully functioning is a colossal job, at any given time 10% of your blood is in your liver, filtering 1.4 litres of blood every minute.
The ultimate multi-tasker, the liver performs over 500 functions, simultaneously. Helping blood clot, breaking down alcohol, chemicals, and other debris, making bile to break down fats and making and storing glucose for a quick burst of energy, on demand, it’s your own in-house laboratory, watching, identifying, removing, creating, storing, excreting and fueling everything you do, or want to do.
When we hook into the energy of this internal powerhouse we mainline right into our own confidence, ability and creativity. No room for doubt or timidity, we are fuelled by the thrusting energy of personal renewal and regeneration, able to take the risk required to achieve the outcomes we value.
Consider the flower bulb beneath the soil. The heat of the sun warms the earth and roots sprout, the bulb is doing 500 tasks simultaneously then, all at once, it thrusts up through the soil ‘here I am ready or not’; pushing through the barriers, making a decisive entrance into the daylight – that’s liver energy in action.
No compromise, no doubt, just confident assertiveness, in action.
