Karma, Knowing your Power, and Attracting Higher Frequencies
As many of you know, I went to see the one and only Taylor Swift on Thursday. I felt so incredibly grateful to be able to attend and sing my heart out. One of the reasons I love Taylor is because of the important concepts she brings up in her songs. Today I wanted to focus on a few songs and the topics that are brought up.
First off, my favorite song Karma. She ended the concert with this song, as she should, because of the power it holds. Karma is defined as destiny or fate as a result of your acitons. I think of this as cause and effect and in relation to the fact that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Whatever you put out, is coming back around. The good things that you do will come back and the bad things will too. I try to live my life thinking this way as it settles my mind and makes me a better person. Especially in high school, when someone does something bad to you, it is easy to want to get them back, but the more mature thing to do is bite your tongue and let karma take the reigns. It can be hard to not be petty in a world full of pettiness, but be the bigger person. Live your life for you and don’t let other people take your power and make you a bad person. Even if other people try to tarnish your reputation, don’t tarnish there’s. Be you and your real friends will know the truth. Stop trying to impress people who are so quick to assume the worst of you. If you do good, kind, honest things, you will not only create a personal environment that is filled with positivity and joy, but you will get this energy back.
This relates to attracting higher frequencies. It’s true that whatever frequency you give off is what will take hold of you. You choose how you live and how you react. If you make it your goal to create a productive, positive frequency that is what will happen. The bad things won’t seem as frequent or as bad, the good will become your life. This was recently put into perspective for me. Before spring break, I had the worst senioritis possible. I complained about school and drudged through the work. I was still putting in effort of course and getting good outcomes to the places I was giving a higher frequency. However, in terms of excitement and happiness, I was not attracting a high frequency and thus that good energy was not coming back to me. I wasn’t putting energy into a positive friendly environment and so I wasn’t getting that. Recently, I got out of that slump, I realized how amazing my life is. I put on clothes that made me feel good, I stopped hanging out with people who didn’t have my best interest at heart, and I fell back in love with the grind. Life is a grind, let’s all fall in love with it and do the things that light us up. Reminder that although life is a grind, we don’t live to work. I love the way that productivity makes me feel and how the pieces seem to fall perfectly into place when I put effort and happiness into everything I do.
I recently realized how much of a difference the frequencies around you make in your own frequency. The people, places, and things in your life make a difference. The people who don’t add to your life or who aren’t striving to become their best selves are hindering you. Surround yourself with people that want to push you and themselves to be the best you guys can be. Find people that love you and care for you. This brings me to the next Taylor song, Tolerate It. For me, this was about people just simply tolerating the life and effort you are pouring into them and how we can’t let that happen. If the people around you are just tolerating you, you need to leave. You deserve so much more than to be tolerated. You deserve to be loved and bowed down to for how amazing you are. On the other hand, if you are not giving love and energy into your life or your relationships then people will just tolerate you. Don’t allow yourself to be the type of person that is tolerated, be better and do better for yourself and others. Then, don’t allow people to tolerate you and don’t tolerate others. If you love someone let them know. If you like someones outfit, tell them.
Lastly, one of the things I loved about her concert was how she acted like the absolute queen that she is. I have now been to six of Taylor’s different tours and seeing her come into her confidence was inspiring. The energy and people around you can tell when you are confident and when you are insecure. You act completely different when insecure. We all have insecurities, but we have to accept ourselves and realize how amazing we are. A few flaws or insecurities does not make you a bad person. Walk with your head up, put your shoulders back, and know your power. Unhappy people want unhappiness for others. Happy people want happiness for others. Know that if someone is trying to knock you down, it is a them problem. Once again, keep your cool and let karma do its job. When you stand tall, you attract others that do the same and become a more successful person. Success does not just mean having a good job or money, it can be defined differently for different people. My version of success means being my best self, trying my hardest and pouring my heart and soul into everything, and attaining pure happiness. What is life without joy? Read that again. What is life without joy? Why are you living if not to be happy?
