Quotes by Joy Page
Don’t let anything stand in the way of you claiming and manifesting the life that you choose rather than the life you have by default.
Freewill means that the Universe never judges, never interferes with your own choices – and sees you as a being of equal creative power.
Choose beliefs that serve your soul – choose beliefs that serve the grander dream of who you choose to be.
Fear is your greatest obstacle – so question your fear. If it does not serve your greatest life then do not make it your master.
You manifest based on who you are already – so you must own the identity of the dream in order to manifest it.
Information can bring you choices and choices bring power – educate yourself about your options and choices. Never remain in the dark of ignorance.
Instead of focusing on that circumstances that you cannot change – focus strongly and powerfully on the circumstances that you can.
This is a grand test for our souls; can we remember and keep the soul-truth - no matter what our lives seem to be telling us? The truth that we are powerful, worthy and love - no matter what!
Pain pushes us to question everything. So question who it is that you want to be and what kind of life experience you want.
