A Little Known Letter From ALBERT EINSTEIN Containing Life's SECRET!!!!

TODAY'S INSPIRATIONAL “MYTHOLOGICAL MAGIC”

________________________________________________________________

Please enjoy this letter written by Albert Einstein to his daughter Lieserl.  I think we are still unraveling the amount of Infinite Intelligence that he was able to summon during his Journey.  He was truly a spiritual prophet and the ORIGINAL NEW AGE NERD!!!.......

…”When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.

I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.
There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us.

This universal force is LOVE.
When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.

Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it.
Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others.

Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals.

For love we live and die.
Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation.

If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.
After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.
Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.
When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.

I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! “.

Your father Albert Einstein

How To Deal with what REALLY TRIGGERS You.........

My family until recently used to be close as “peas and carrots.”  While things weren't always perfect, we knew how to approach one another when the emotionally banging started causing turmoil and/or discord amongst our small familial until.  That was until my father's arduous battle with cancer 4 years ago.  THAT changed everything.    I heard often  about the challenges that befall many families who must engage such a challenging time period of caring for and then watching the slow painful death of a dearly loved one.  It is , to say the least HELL ON EARTH!!   For EVERYONE involved!  Those of you reading this who have gone through it are all saying a Amen to That.  Trust me!  Holy shit, trust me......

Without divulging too much personal familial information, let's just say that such pressure and emotional highs and lows cause individuals to engage the day to day battles quite differently.  No right vs. wrong, more like my way versus your way of making this work that is comfortable to me.  Capiche?  Great!!  And because everyone has a completely different take on the subject and how to handle the monumental day to day decisions that must be made, you can only imagine the possibilities for chaos that can ensue.    Each day becomes a nasty version of The Wizaard of Oz replete with discord, chaos, and confusion Oh My!!!  LOL   Well, it's kinda funny NOW,  but not so much back then......

Being the oldest sibling in the family and being an incredibly sensitive soul by nature, the whole ordeal was in some way a wonderful opportunity for me to deal with my darkest insecurities and challenges, but at times felt like a side show of daily whammo's and gotcha's worthy of any Fun/Scare House!  NOT exactly fun for either party.  

The interesting thing is that I truly believe that NOBODY CAN MAKE A MISTAKE!  A MISSTEP yes, but a true MISTAKE, absolutely not.  Why you ask?!  Because we act in any given moment with the  exact level of experience we have in our tool box at that given moment.  Easier to understand it by saying we are alway doing the very best we can in each and every action we participate in.  Based on previous accumulated knowledge and experience up to that exact moment in our lives.  It's a hard concept to accept for many of us but the more you ponder it, the more comes the ease of a acceptance of its tenets.  

There were many times during that three year time period in which I was completely and all engulfed with a triggering of Gi-normous proportions.  I know there was absolutely NO ill will intent involved in these maladies of emotional trauma, but to me, they created a chasm of pain and suffering on so many different levels it was hard to comprehend.  My mom seeming to side with my sister on difficult medical decisions for instance.  Usurping me in the process completely even though I had given up a job to help care for my dad during the entire ordeal.  Some painful shit went down!!  

And the more I brought up the discord, the more I was looked at as the preverbal “black sheep” of the family.  As though nobody understood my own pain and suffering in this process.  But deep down, my pain was completely palpable.  It engrained a feeling of LESS THAN as large as any of the Eight Wonders of the World.  Especially given the fact I had given up a six figure job to be a primary caretaker for my dad and now felt I was being completely usurped in many of the daily decisions that needed to be made on my father's behalf.  

Again, before I proceed, I want to reiterate that I hold absolutely NO ill will toward anyone in my family for this situation.  We were all doing what we felt was for the best and how our disperate experience could truly benefit the situation as a whole.  

Unfortunately, my father lost his battle with this dreaded disease and succumbed to his cancer in December of 2013.  Also just as unfortunately, our familial life strains' continue to this day.  The sister I use to be so close to has become like a long lost relative that I barely know.  The same with her husband and their son(my godson Aiden).  And that has been a BRUTAL experience on many fronts in my life on a day to day basis.  

To be fair, the present is a wonderful opportunity that shines a bright light onto the areas in my life that still need love and healing addressed upon them.  And for that I am grateful.  And for the record, YES, I have tried having talks with them but my family is much comfortable sweeping things under the table rather than addressing them head-on.  And to some degree I get that.  Engaging such painful and complex matters are not easy and the hopes are that a gathering of the minds will not do even more damage to the situation.  

So until both sides are ready for such a brave and courageous step, I have devised an alternative measure to help assist you when these TRIGGERS arise in your life.  And the great thing is that it can be used for pretty much ANY and EVERY TRIGGER we usually face in the Trigger Handbook!
Want to know what my solution is?!?  I hoped so...  Because it is actually so easy peezy!!   I simply call it:

THE WALK AWAY!!!!  That's right, it is to simply walk away from triggering situations when they arise in your life.  Now some may argue with me that that is easier said than done, or even a cowardly act of defiance.  Fair enough!  But by walking away, I am not soliciting walking away from the situation entirely.  Hell No!   What I am suggesting is that you remove yourself from the situation or triggering mechanism(person, place, or thing) to allow your inner being to reflect it's true nature once again.  To allow the pain and trauma to find their rightful place within you without causing the type of  pain and/or anxiety that may cause the situation to escalate within you in a place that serves nobody!!  And Re-member that it is completely OK to temporarily or permanently love someone from the other side of the room.  You are STILL loving them, but that doesn't not meant they need to to be in your close circle of daily energy!

My personal BELIEF is that is much easier to work on allowing a piece of hurt or trauma to resonate within you in a more peaceful nature, than to try and admonish it from your inner being completely.  Because that, Jack, is sooooooo much easier to do!  Does that make sense?  I hope it does.  

I have known some people to find solace in keeping a TRIGGER journal for just such times.  It's a fantastic way to write down what triggered you and why.  And how you would like to show up to meet that TRIGGER the next time it rears it's nasty head in your life.  And here is a New Age Nerd tip:  It is completely OK to love someone from the other side of the room.  If you find yourself consistently being triggered by the same person, place, or thing, it is completely ok to love that soulful entity from the other side of the room.  You are still loving them, just giving yourself some loving space so that you can keep moving positive, progressive momentum in your life and in turn, the lives you touch on a daily basis!  

Now this might sound like an easy fix all for a complex and for many very challenging situation, but the fact of the matter is that most of our issues can be summerized from one of my favorite self realized acronym's, that being KISS.   Keep It Spiritually Simple!!  We tend to completely over think and analyze things when we are on a daily path of self realization when the truth is that keeping things on a very subtle and pragmatic path is the way to reach your own OZ!!

Now this DOES NOT get you off the hook for working on your triggers through self work, therapy, or any other number of means that feel comfortable for your own unique path.  It's just that we sometimes feel like we must be able to tackle everything in our lives at once and that is called INSANITY!!   Compartmentalizing our issues is a much more pragmatic manner to address what we need we need to work on while not during ourselves crazy in the interim.  And when YOU are ready, you can re-address these Triggers and see how they make you FEEL.  As feelings are the guideposts to the Soul!  And that guidance will give your Heart Light a litmus test on where you stand with the TRIGGERS that befall us all at some point.............

Learn The Key ATTRIBUTE Toward's Becoming a GENIUS!!!

TODAY'S INSPIRATIONAL “MYTHOLOGICAL MAGIC”

_________________________________________________

One of the most frequent questions I am asked is “How in the hell do you come up with all your ideas for your daily blog?!?”  Many of my fellow coaching friends deeply DESIRE to make blogging a part of their life and leadership practice, yet few rarely ever actually do!  Why?  Mostly because of their limiting beliefs in their own ability to be a true CREATOR.  Some are even vibrating at a place of FEAR in that they don't have the writing chops to devise columns that would be of value or be able to attract a large audience.  And THAT IS A SPIRITUAL SHAME!! Because it is neglecting us from the joyous wisdom and wonder that they are ALL capable of providing.  So, in today's post, I am going to let everyone in on the KEY COMPONENT to becoming and mastering the Art of, well, anything TRULY creative!

Rule Numero Uno is the realization that YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS ALONE!   There is something called Infinite Intelligence that is a powerful and unlimited energy source that is available to us all ALWAYS and in ALL WAYS!   And as soon as you understand that you DO NOT have to be alone in any creative endeavor, a true Paradigm shift occurs deep within your consciousness.   Of course, the most important action step toward being able to access and co-create with this source that is Infinite in its abundance is to relinquish your EGO within the process.  In fact, it has been scientifically proven that there is only ONE common trait amongst those rare individuals we call GENIUSES.  Do you know what the answer to this trait actually is?!  I'll give you ten seconds to use your noggin and see what your instinctual essence tells you..................................................................

Ok, time's up!  It is....   HUMILITY!!   That's right!  Humility means loss of ego.  Because that is what MUST occur in order to tap into Infinite Intelligence.  Those we deem as geniuses in their field and craft, are keenly aware that they are NOT DOING THEIR CREATIVE EFFORTS ALONE!  In fact, they actually surrender their Ego over to Acceptance and Gratitude and welcome the opportunity for the wondrous wisdom and enlightenment that embodies their invitation to let Infinite Intelligence flow with them in conscious co-creation!  

In one of my top 10 favorite books,  ‘Power VS Force’ by David Hawkins PH.D, he specifically states through scientific study, “Genius is by definition is a style of consciousness characterized by the ability to access high attractor patterns.  It isn't a personality characteristic, nor is it something somebody “has” or “is”.  A universal characteristic of Genius is HUMILITY; after all, those in whom we recognize genius commonly disclaim it, as they've always attributed their insights to some higher influence.  For example, great musicians throughout history have stated that they didn't plan their music, but simply wrote down what they heard within their own minds.  Recognized geniuses may be rare, but genius resides IN ALL OF US!  There is no such thing as accident or coincidence in this Cosmos; and not only is EVERYTHING connected, we are all members.  Consciousness, like physicality, is a Universal quality; because genius is a product of CONSCIOUSNESS, genius is also Universal. It follows that that which is Universal is available to EACH AND EVERY PERSON!”

And for all you leaders in the New Age Nerd Community, HUMILITY is just an important ingredient to your endeavors.  Author David White, a consultant to the Fortune Top 50, declares,  “Contrary to popular folklore, it’s important to note that nice guys & gals don’t finish last. Leaders who display authentic humility have broader spheres of influence, attract better talent, engender more confidence, and earn more loyalty and respect than do those leaders who rely solely upon their chutzpa and their ability to brandish their bravado. If what you’re seeking is lasting relationships, long-term success, and a better quality of life (in and out of the workplace) then you’ll be well served to forgo the pompous acts of the arrogant, and substitute the humility and quiet confidence displayed by true leaders.”

Believe it or not, I DO NOT prepare any of my posts ahead of time.  I wake up early in the morning and do a 10 minute meditation, asking SOURCE energy to work with me and align my vibration with Infinite Intelligence.  And during the meditation, the topic for each day comes to me!!  And the FEELING that I receive from literally communing with this heavenly energy is the most magical experience of many of my days!! And please don't misconstrue my words.  I am FULLY present during this co-creation.  But I am also in full ALLOWANCE of Infinite Intelligence to flow with me as I write.  And a it has become a partnership that I value like none other!


If you decide that you would like to try and replicate this potent practice, please start slow and be very patient with yourself.  It's like everything else in life.  It takes time and subtle nuance to slowly learn how to shed your egoistic need for control.  It's kinda like a dance.  But neither person leads!  It can feel clumsy and uncomfortable at first.  And there will be some days in which you just can't connect.  Just like the beginning struggles many of us have while first learning to meditate.  It is tough to master the art of quieting our minds and surrendering to the present moment.  But, I promise you, it is worth the time and effort!!  Just please do not become frustrated to the point that you give up trying to partner up with this AMAZING source of intelligent abundance.  There is SO much wisdom and understanding wishing to be shared with us all, that can happen with and through YOU!!!

Why GRATITUDE Will Rock Your World..!!!

TODAY'S INSPIRATIONAL “MYTHOLOGICAL MAGIC”

_________________________________________________________________

With Memorial Day just around the corner, I feel it is the perfect time to reflect on how truly fortunate we are in this country.  Things aren't perfect, and we have a LONG way to go toward coming together in UNITY.  But there have been a number of individuals who have crossed my path lately, including a few clients, who are not originally from the United States.  I have been blessed to hear their personal stories of the strife, struggle, loss, and unfathomable challenges they have overcome to transition their lives to this country.  It really puts things into perspective of how lucky we are to live here.

The ONE thing I have observed that each and EVERY one of these survivors shares is an ATTITUDE  FILLED WITH GRATITUDE.  Most of them were forced to leave their families behind, many of them do not own cars, and work multiple jobs just to survive.  Yet, they share a common sense of kindness and appreciation for the smallest of things.  Their smiles are expressions of Soulful Bliss and they expend their energy not on complaining, but in reverence for the opportunity they feel this country has afforded them.  They carry the three attributes of a master; a kind heart, words filled with compassion, and a willingness to be of service. 

I once watched an interview with Oprah Winfrey in which she explained the massive transformation that started in her life 16 years ago when she started a daily ‘Gratitude Journal.’  Every night without fail, she would write down at least 5 things that she was grateful for that had occurred during the day.
“When you allow yourself to feel gratitude in the present moment, in the NOW, what I promise you is that the spiritual dimension of your life begins to change.  It opens up and expands and you start to grow with it.  That is the truth, if I have ever spoken the truth in my entire life.  If you want to change your entire state of being, start to be grateful. ” Oprah has spread this message in many of her speeches across the globe.

The very act of gratitude opens up a channel for Joy to shine through.  It might start off as a small pinhole, but with practice and focused intention, it will grow into a window wide as you ALLOW it to be!  Admittedly, it is so easy to get fixated on everything that isn't going well in our lives.  Jobs we dislike, money problems, and toxic relationships.  Remember, Energy Flows Where Your Attention Goes!

And life has a way of surrounding us with tangible examples to shake us out of our lethargy and back into a state of appreciation and gratitude.  My mom and I have been caring for a delightful woman who lives down the street from us.  She has no family to speak of, suffers from multiple sclerosis, sever diabetes and has no left arm.  Three days ago,  her best friend, a cat named Logan, passed away.  And yet, she may be one of the most grateful Souls I have ever encountered.  Never ONCE have I heard her complain.  She surrounds her house with mementos and joyful memories that are imbued with the passion, and joy of a life well lived.  And it is absolutely humbling to be in her presence.  It has a way of snapping my own problems into things of fodder. 

Iyanla Vanzant has described the word PAIN to mean Pay Attention Inward Now.  She believes that the path toward enlightenment is to pay attention to each stop along the way of your Journey.  One stop may be an illness, another a job loss, another an amazing new relationship.  And she believes that within each and every one of these stops, is a lesson for us to express Gratitude!

One of my favorite spiritual teachers, Tony Robbins explains Gratitude this way, “It is the reset button and the cleanser of the soul. When you are in a state of gratitude it is no longer about ME.  It becomes about giving thanks.  And when you are giving thanks you disappear.  And when you disappear, I believe you reconnect to the Divine.”  Amen! 

Hopefully, you are understanding the Re-membrance that Gratitude is is the most direct line of connection back to SOURCE.  Back to the Divine from which we came and which surrounds us always to be in service to our desires.  As Bishop T.D. Jakes says , “Appreciation leads to duplication.”  When we focus our energy and attention on what we are in appreciation of in our lives, it activates a system that brings even more of that very thing into our experience!  Yet, most of us spend out time focused on all the things that we don't like in our lives and experience....well....even more of THAT!  And I don't know about you, but I think we could all use more experiences that bring us love and inner joy!  And evaporates feelings of depression and anxiety and transforms them into lasting inner PEACE.

So what would it look like, if we all started to incorporate the practice of GRATITUDE  in our lies starting today.  Keeping our attention on the things we are truly grateful for and perhaps even starting our own Gratitude Journal to write down at least 5 things we have appreciation for from the current day's experiences?!

Here Is The Most POWERFUL Action In The Universe..!!!

TODAY'S INSPIRATIONAL “MYTHOLOGICAL MAGIC”

J.R. Tolkein        (The Lord of The Rings) ___________________________________________________

I was recently working with a client who was, to say the least, completely frustrated and utterly confused.   She was doing what she THOUGHT were all the ‘right’ things to try and improve certain areas of her life.  Yet it seemed that instead of experiencing the changes she desired, she was manifesting complete CHAOS.  After several minutes attempting to calm her down back into a space of peaceful alignment so that our session could continue in a productive manner, I decided this was a job for the my inner SuperHero ‘The Connoisseur of Consciousness’.  You see, the true skill of coaching is in the subtle art of figuring out where the TRUE block of the client resides.  Sometimes, this comes after one session and becomes quite obvious with divine, heartfelt listening.  Now on other occasions, it's kinda like being a crime detective worthy of a Sherlock Holmes type prowess. 
And after only 15 minutes, I knew this was going to be much more like the latter!  lol

Some clients can be quite tricky and mercurial to try and coach, because they have a way of being very persuasive with their vernacular.  They come across as quite confident and self aware with pat statements that they THINK  display that they have things under control and that it is the cursed people, places, and things OUT THERE that are the cause of all their pain and suffering.  Refusal of self responsibility for any of their current life ‘predicaments’ is one sure sign that they are out of alignment in some foundational manner.  Of course, trying to break through their level of self refusal takes patience, compassion, with a huge helping side of intuitive knowhow.  And trust me, sometimes you just don't KNOW HOW you are going to find out where this misalignment reside.  ;0)

Most of us spend our energy living ‘within the shadows.’  Caught up in the drama of the darkness rather than moving toward the direction of the actual obstacle that is BLOCKING THE LIGHT in the first place.  For those of you who just can't grasp the true value of having a life coach, hopefully this helps explain the miracles that a co-creation with the right qualified coach can bring.  We help our clients in finding that obstacle to “let the Sunshine in, and face it with a grin!” (For your Flintstones fans! ) ;0)

During our third session, I noticed something quite contradictory in nature.  My client would say what she desired with a fervent passion.  Only to back up the statement with something that COMPLETELY contradicted what she wanted!  For instance, after saying she really wanted to find a new career, it was quickly followed with something like “Most companies are greedy and don't care about their people so I am being extra picky!”  And she wonders why the numerous resumes she has been sending out have been met with two results.  One being that she hears nothing back from them.  Or even worse, she lands an interview, and sure enough, the experience turns out to be caustic and off putting.  Same thing with her diatribes about relationships.  For each declaration of “I would love to find someone to settle down with, and be a true partner”,  it was soon followed by “But most men can't be trusted and lie and cheat!”  AYE DIOS MIO!!  Can you imagine how stressed out her spirit guides must be!  No doubt they have perhaps requested a reassignment from time to time.   LOL

I bring this up NOT to place any sense of judgment on the client, only to use it as a TEXTBOOK example of how what we BELIEVE actually creates a much more POWERFUL energetic vibration than what we think or even say.  Just as the conscious mind is the source of thought, the subconscious mind is the SOURCE of our true POWER of manifestation.  It is deeply and profoundly rooted in instinct, and it is aware of the most basic and extraordinary desires within us all.  It is a POWERHOUSE through which the most incredible amount of SOURCE can be connected with.  And it is within our SUBCONSCIOUS that we store our actual BELIEFS!

Basically, we can think one thing, and do another that matches that thought, BUT if our BELIEFS about what we are saying and doing contradict the intended outcome, well, that's the space in which CHAOS rules.  I love this quote from the sensational book ‘The Power of Believing’ by Nido Qubein, when he states, “Therefore visualize the exact thing(job, relationship, home etc) you desire and use daily affirmations until BELIEF in your goal becomes a vital part of you and your body.  See yourself actually doing the things or experiencing the people you desire, because every thought, backed by an equal BELIEF in that thought sooner or later materializes it into your life.”

It's really all about BEING in alignment.  I have a suspecting intuition that if you truly start to check in within yourself several times a day, many of you will realize that what you think, say, do and BELIEVE are not in alignment with one another.  One, two, or more of these things are not congruent with the WHOLE!  And all that gets you is a whole lotta frustration, chaos and disappointment.  

So I urge you to think about the principles I have explained in today's post, and be honest with yourself.  RE-member, your outer experiences are a direct reflection of you inner reality.  Basically speaking, you cannot lie to the UNIVERSE.  It knows what you truly think and what you BELIEVE and will deliver to you the exact order you are putting in to the Wisdom Waiter always at your side!
So before you scream, “EXCUSE ME GOD, BUT I DID NOT ORDER THAT!”, Re-member that based on your BELIEFS, you actually did!!

Your TROUBLES Are Your TRANSPORTATION To ABUNDANCE!!

Today's “MYTHOLOGICAL MAGICAL”

Optimus Prime  Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon   “You can lose faith in us.  But NEVER lose faith in yourselves.”

Gladiator~~

Many of you may have noticed I have not posted in a few days over the weekend.  And if you have noticed, BLESSED BE ME because it means you have taken notice and that means a great deal to me!!  As usual, sending out a Gi-normous hug to all the ardent followers of the New Age Nerd.  As most of you are aware, I suffer from Crohn's disease as well as a devastating form of arthritis that many individuals with Crohn's are afflicted with.  It is called AS or Anklosing Spondylitis and when it flairs up, it fuses the bones of the spine together.  Nasty stuff!!  Well, I have had pretty severe flair ups of both of these conditions the past couple of weeks to the point that I could not walk up the stairs because my knee swelled up so bad .  Now, before you think this is going to be a post about my trials and tribulations, hang in there with me for a moment.  

I will be the first to share with you that I HAVE had my moments during the last two weeks of throwing little pity parties for myself.  Trouble is, nobody I sent invitations to showed up.  Not because they don't care, but because they all have their own issues they are dealing with on a day to day basis.  And I get that.  I really do.  But it can make a guy feel lonely and forgotten.  Tear!  LOL

But this morning I finally felt well enough to make a trip to the grocery store and found a renewed strength and vigor about my situation.  I became ANGRY.   Not in a malicious or destructive manner, but in a way of INSPIRATION.  That's why I use Batman as my individual totem.  He too uses his anger as INSPIRATION.  He doesn't want others to feel his pain and that fuels all that he does.  And that same sort of energetic foundation filled me this morning as I drove to pick up a cup of warm coffee to start the day.  

I decided right then and there that I was sick and tired of the struggles I had been facing the last 10 years of my life.  I  have fleshed a great majority of them out in various posts throughout the last year so I will spare you the chaos here.  Let's just say it has at times felt like I was the Universe's punching bag.  It's own personal Rocky for the ages in a knockdown, drag out fight that wouldn't end.  Well, it ends NOW!!!   And that doesn't mean I am not going to continue to have my trials and tribulations.  In fact, I expect them.  It's just that I am going to not allow myself get caught up in the Ego game of life.  Where things happen TO YOU not FOR YOU.  It's easy to do, as I am sure many of you know firsthand. AND it all happens to be a tenet of the Hero's Journey.  Which if I were to narrow down into its most basic form would be that NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE IS EVER WASTED!  EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.  That job you lost.  It's because you weren't supposed to be there long term.  Your destiny lied elsewhere.  That relationship that lit up and then burnt down just as fast;  it wasn't meant to last forever.  Both sides received what they needed for their own Journey and purpose.  Let it go and move on.  That illness that suddenly showed up and knocked you to the bathroom floor (perhaps many times).  Embrace it!!  You heard me,  Embrace it because whether it came for a reason or a season, the fact that it showed up means it has real value in your purpose!!  Trust!!  

If this all sounds a little harsh, it is NOT meant to be.  Stern perhaps, but NOT harsh.  In fact, the second  side of this tail is to give yourself compassion for what you are going through.  Whatever that THING happens to BE.  You are a precious piece of God's plan and He needs you.  In fact,  the Universe wouldn't be the same without you.  So don't EVER THINK SPIRIT DOESN'T SEE YOUR PAIN.   In fact, in your darkest hours, there are ONE THOUSAND ANGELS AT YOUR SIDE.  Did you know that??!  Because it is true!

As I got home this morning and walked in to turn the tv on, I saw that Joel Osteen was on the boob tube.  Given his often touching and profound messages that have so frequently resonated with me in exactly the manner I needed at the time, I decided to sit down and listen to his homily.  And BOY did it strike a nerve!  He fleshed out the story of Mike Llitch.  Unfortunately he just passed away in February at age 87.  But before he made his transition, he made more than an indelible mark on this planet.  You see, as a young boy, Mike dreamed of playing for the Detroit Tigers professional baseball team.  But a traumatic injury forced him to retire from the game he loved so passionately.  So his father, who had opened a small, humble pizza parlor asked if he would like to work with him at the pizza joint.  Mike begrudgingly accepted and in time, learned to absolutely love the pizza business.  So much intact, that he went on to found Little Caesar's pizza and became a billionaire.  He eventually used the money to purchase the Detroit tigers, the very team he once dreamed of playing for!!  Talk about a true Hero's Journey.  

This story caused a burning sensation of fervent determination deep within me.  I have found FAITH hard to come by these past few weeks and this story reenergized my fervent HOPE in Spirit.  In its ability to create magic and miracles seemingly before our very eyes, IF YOU ONLY BELIEVE and put that belief into persistent action!!

Whatever you may be currently going through, please know YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  There are many of us who are praying for Faith, Hope, and just one break to keep us going in the direction of our Purpose and Destiny!  If there is ONE THING I have learned it is life can literally change in an instant.  Hopes and dreams can manifest seemingly overnight!  And I promise to hold a space for all my fellow New Age Nerds as they follow their Hero's Journey that all their deepest heartfelt desires come to fruition in ways before unimaginable.......

How To Attract The RIGHT People In Your LIFE..!!

TODAY'S INSPIRATIONAL “MYTHOLOGICAL MAGIC”

__________________________________________

One of the most common issues I am confronted with by my clients is the manner in which they are BEING treated by others.  Be it their spouse, co-workers, family members, or friends, it certainly seems to be an EPIC problem.  And it's completely understandable.  We all would like to be treated with respect, kindness, and love.  As Oprah has stated over and over again, the ONE common trait she has found on her Journey meeting with people from all over the world is their DESIRE to be seen and heard with respect.

But before we jump into the discussion of how others are treating you, it is absolutely vital to acknowledge how YOU are treating YOU.  When was the last time you spent quality time checking in with yourSELF on such important topics such as what are your core values, beliefs, and feelings; especially with regards to how you are using these emotions and thoughts and how they relate toward your own sense of SELF worth.  Would you agree that it is quite challenging to ask others to treat you in a manner that you don't even treat YOURSELF?   I would say HECK YES!    

Here are a few important questions you can ask yourself.  What is your Code of Conduct system?  Do you even have one?  What is your ideal vision for a true CO-Creational relationship?   What are your boundaries regarding the way you desire to be treated?  Do you have a defined value system for yourSELF?  What does respect mean to you? 

I know all to well from my own personal experience how damaging NOT having answers to these questions can be for our interpersonal relationships.  The reason being is THAT WE TEACH OTHERS HOW WE WANT TO BE TREATED.   Re-read that last sentence.  It will be one of the most important tenets to your happiness and success in your lifetime!  

My birth father abandoned our family when I was just 3 years of age.  And the long lasting affect it had on my psyche was devastating.  I consequently grew up being absolutely terrified that if I stood up for myself in situations that I knew were not being respectful of my feelings, the person would leave.  So by MY actions of NOT saying anything, I was actually teaching people it was A-OK to treat me in such a hurtful and disrespectful manner.  And it took me a LONG time to gain the sense of self LOVE to in a sense re-teach others how I desired to be treated.  And it was FAR from easy to do so.  Once people get accostomed to to treating you in a familiar manner, trying to undue this behavior can cause some friction, to say the least!  

In fact, it took me into my 30's to truly redefine my own sense of Core Conduct and develop a deep rooted and overwhelming degree of SELF LOVE.  The type that compassionately sets the tone with others.  And what a difference did it make!  I now make it very clear to my personal Tribe members what I expect in our co-creations and make DAMN sure I do my part in returning the sense of love, respect, and kindness I seek for myself!

Plus, with way of the Universal Law of Attraction, we actually attract people who are going to treat us EXACTLY how we treat ourselves.  Haven't you been witness to many a friend who continues to attract the same ‘wolf in sheep's clothing ’ in their personal relationships?!?  It's because like attracts like.  I love the saying “Likes tend to last!”  And they DO!  No doubt about it!

And here is something else that is so vital to remember when we DO attract people into our life who cause us emotional pain and discomfort.  They are actually providing us with a wonderful gift.   They are shining a light on the areas within YOU that still need LOVE and attention.  That's right!  They are showing you where healing still needs to be done.  That doesn't mean we need to keep them in our life forever, but instead of reacting outwardly toward them in a non compassionate manner, thank them internally for the gift they came to give you and then realize it is perfectly OK to love them from the other side of the room if their behavior continues.  

Another important thing to remember is that people are not mind readers.  One tweak that has created miracles in my personal relationships is actually sharing with others how I need them show up for me in certain situations.  Most individuals tend to go into ‘fix it mode’ when we come to them with our problems.  When very often, all we need is for them to listen.  But we rarely share this information with them.  So  I urge you to start implementing this technique into your relationships and see the MIRACLES that start to manifest!

The last suggestion I will impart on this topic has to do with conflict resolution skills.  Sophia Nelson, a writer for the Huffington Post said it brilliantly, “This is critical — you must surround yourself with people again who have a similar code. I like to TALK things out. I think it is essential to talk before you walk. No matter how uncomfortable, or challenging, at some point mature adults have to talk about their differences and seek to resolve them peaceably in ways that make us better, wiser people. I detest (and I mean detest) people who do wrong things and cannot own their mistakes, apologize and grow up. I do not suffer people lightly who cause drama, then exit out, leaving others to clean up their mess or to have other left holding the emotional baggage of the wounds they have caused. Find out how people resolve conflicts before you get attached to them or in business dealings with them.”

I hope this information will help you move forward in all your relationships with a better mutually understanding of common respect, compassion, and fellowship.  The kind this world desperately needs!
