TIPS To Become FREE Of What Others THINK About YOU..!!

Today's Inspirational “MYTHOLOGICAL MAGIC”

“When we say things like ‘people don't change’ it drives scientists crazy. Because change is literally the only constant in all of science. Energy, matter, it's always changing....morphing, merging, growing, dying.  It's the way people try not to change that's unnatural. The way we cling to what things were rather than letting them be what they are. The way we cling to old memories instead of making new ones. The way we insist on believing, despite every scientific indication, that anything in this lifetime is permanent.  Change is constant.  How we experience change, that's up to us. It can feel like death, or it can feel like a second chance at life. If we open our fingers, loosen our grips, go with it, it can feel like pure adrenaline. Like at any moment, we can have another chance at life. Like at any moment, we can be born all over again.”
~~  Meredith (Grey's Anatomy)

“You're MAD, bonkers....off your head.  But I will tell you a secret.  All The Best People Are.”
~~ Charles Kingsleigh (Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland)

There seems to be an epidemic of GI-normous proportions that threatens to eradicate much of the  beauty, growth, and unlimited potential amongst us.  Climate change you ask?!  Damn straight, but that's for another, much longer post! ;0)  No, what I am referring to is the potent grip and searing strangle hold other people's THOUGHTS and OPINIONS seem to have over our own lives.  I am seeing it cause real pain and confusion.  Not to mention depression and anxiety. WAY too many of us playing small fearing the judgement of others.  Dreams and aspirations being crushed BEFORE they had a chance to flourish.  And in this wake, risk taking has become a foreign language taught in a classroom of unknown origins! 

Since I have absolutely NO desire to live in a house of glass, let me say I have not been immune to this toxic torrent.  In fact, I once became so affected by the aggregate thoughts of the masses following a gut wrenching experience,  that I left a graduate program that I was DEEPLY passionate about.  Yuperoo!  I think that's why I decided to dedicate today's post toward the subject.  Take it from me, the consequences of not addressing this issue and the manner it is playing out in YOUR life can be quite substantial.  And it isn't like things are going to get any easier to manage down the road.  Hello, social media!! Let's face the TRUTH, this brave new world brought on by technology and it's infusion in our daily lives has made it imperative to incorporate the practice of blocking out the negative ‘CHATTER’ from the unconsciousness that surrounds us! 

This topic brings to mind a wonderful exchange of dialogue I once witnessed on an old episode of Oprah's ‘Super Soul Sunday’.  She was talking with her guest when the topic of ‘worrying about what others think’ popped up.  Oprah shot up in her chair and espoused, “If you care about what other people are thinking about you, they end up OWNING you.  And slavery done ended 150 years ago!” True dat! 

In many ways, we must not forget to offer ourselves compassion for this malady that affects us all at some point.  Re-member, our primal ancestors were absolutely dependent on their tribes for survival and a poor ‘likability score’ often meant the difference between life and death.  Five days with no shelter and brontosaurus burgers saved for the ‘In Crowd’ caused a need and desire to be deeply liked.  So your genes still have whispers of an ancestral core where status was essential and fitting in was a requirement for your well being! Why else would Barney put up with so much from Fred?!!? lol

Thankfully, we have come a LONG way since the days of T-Rex and his cohorts.  While our current times are still challenging, our desires for survival and reproduction are no longer fraught with nearly the same type of daily struggle.  Which means there is NO reason for us to continue being in allowance of the pressure to meld with the masses in the never-ending attempt of expending endless amounts of time and energy on valuing WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT US.

So here are a few suggestions of things that can help free up your precious effort and energy toward things that really matter.  Endeavors that give us more SELF worth and LOVE, courage, and the inner fortitude to face our PURPOSE with verve and gusto!  

1 -  Don't Make Assumptions
2 -  Don't Take Anything Personally

I am borrowing the first two suggestions from my brother in TRUTH, Don Miguel Ruiz and his brilliant book ‘The Four Agreements’.  Further fleshing out rule number one, past the making an ‘ASS’ out of you and me template, Ruiz explains, “Find the courage to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstanding, sadness, and drama.”  Nobody is a mind reader, so it is super important that we let others know what we are thinking.  And co-creating a space for others to feel safe to communicate their TRUTH back to us.  I constantly assure my friends when I feel they are writing a script in their head for a movie that is NEVER going to be ‘greenlit’ for production. Misunderstanding is one of the biggest issues we humans face.  Heck, they made a WHOLE show out of it in ‘Three's Company’.  And I doubt the Regal Beagle is still around to drink away your pain and sorrow from worrying about something that probably isn't TRUTH anyway!  

As for not taking anything personally, I believe this is perhaps the most POWERFUL tip in protecting  yourself from the needless suffering that often accompanies our obsessive habit of allowing the words of others to affect us in negative ways.  As Ruiz also states, “Nothing others do is because of YOU.  What others say and do is a projection of THEIR own reality, their dream.”  Amen!  Nuff said!

3-  Start small if need be.  Don't not care at all, just care LESS.

Again, I will be the first to admit that freeing yourself from the oppressive nature of external opinions is not easy.  Like so many other Spiritual principles, it is a process and takes practice.  Letting go of a long entrenched behavior is not going to happen overnight.  I am a huge believer in setting yourself up for success, not failure.  So start small.  Set bite size goals to achieve.  And reward yourself when you see momentum forward toward even individual moments when you staved off the vitriol or judgments of others.  

4-  Practice BEING Self Confident

Unfortunately, there are many folks clouded with their own unconsciousness, and they feed off of making themselves feel BIG by making you feel SMALL.  Don't let these emotional vampires sink their teeth into ANY part of you!  Get into the habit of doing things that allow the feeling of confidence to bubble up deep within your core ESSENCE.  Super hero posing, recalling past proud accomplishments, or listening to music that ‘PUMPS you up’ are all things you might try.  Anything that makes you rock those pearly whites and stand taller will work wonders!  Start walking with the motto, ‘Things in life DON'T happen to me.  I HAPPEN to things!’  Even subtle shifts in core energy can do wonders in how others treat you!  TRUST.....!

May these suggestions bring you closer to a life FREE of the imprisonment of your mind, and the needless anxiety, pain, and suffering that comes from the opinions of others! Life is so short, please do not waste precious moments on worrying about what anyone else thinks about you.  At the end of the day, it is NONE of your business anyway!  Cause that NOISE is all about THEM!  ;0)

LEARN The FIVE PILLARS To Live a BLISSFUL Life..!!

With just three days left until Christmas, I know that most of you are busy crossing off a Holiday sized To Do list to ensure that this special time of the year is sure to be filled with an abundance of Joy and Happiness, and plenty of Love and Laughter!!  And please know that I will be holding a continued SPACE of that very vibration for all the NEW AGE NERDS, as well as their friends and family who all truly DESERVE that very experience!  

And while we are all too well aware that each year the Holiday Season starts earlier and earlier, mostly due to the over commercialized nature that has nearly stripped this Holiest of traditional calendar time of it's true meaning, I would like to guide you all back towards the Re-membrance of how we can once again consciously reunite our soulful DESIRES with our actions of intent. 

The Hero's Journey teaches us that a life of BLISS is what each and every one of us ultimately seeks.  And in order to find and live within that vibration of unadorned happiness and joy-and teach others how to do the same, we must have the courage to accept the nature of our life's CALLING, and that is the individual manner in which we fulfill the Universal Purpose of all souls on this planet;  to be in service of others through acts of LOVE and COMPASSION.  (Please refer back to an earlier post on December 15th for more on the topic of the difference between our Calling and our Purpose)

Through much trial and error, missteps and misunderstands, as well as years of practical application of a variety of different principles, I have devised a guidance system to assist you as you navigate your individual Hero's Journey called THE FIVE PILLARS that I would love to share with you today!  And I even recently shared these proven principles with Santa and his ebullient elves, and now The North Pole is frickin rocking out day and night with a renewed Re-membrance of truthful ruminations!!  Blissful Baddasses...... Just sayin'!!   ;0)

So what exactly is this Grounded Spiritual System I am referring to?!  Let me break it down for you!

THE FIVE PILLARS are the individual entry points that when properly navigated, become the individual building blocks that will form the FOUNDATION of earthly BLISS that comes from following our individual Hero's Journey!

Here are THE FIVE PILLARS broken down individually:

1.  YOUR CALLING
2.  LIVELIHOOD/WEALTH -  And by Wealth I am talking about financial abundance~
3.  HEALTH
4.  RELATIONSHIPS
5.  PERSONAL APPEARANCE

Ok- raise your hand if you are in agreement with me that these five attributes are the FOUNDATION that helps us create a life filled with the Heaven sent feeling of BLISS.....   I know my arm is getting tired from holding my hand up...LOL  

As we step into our Hero's Journey through daily action steps, Infinite Intelligence assists us through sending trials and tribulations that we must confront and overcome to obtain our own answers to create the foundation of BLISS that lay within THE FIVE PILLARS.  Like Luke Skywalker battling through his fears and obstacles to become an enlightened Jedi Knight and discover his personal BLISS which gave him the tools to show others how to do the same thing; and that's what The Hero's Journey IS ALL ABOUT!!!  And if we have already fully fleshed out THE FIVE PILLARS ahead of time, they become the END RESULT we can turn to as a form of self mentoring and guidance along our chosen calling/path when we lose our way! 

To help give you a better understanding of how to flesh out THE FIVE PILLARS in your own life, I am going to peal back my own personal veil to reveal what I seek to manifest using this principle...  Sound good?!?  I hope so.......Here goes......

1. MY CALLING:  Using my spiritual based coaching/teaching creativity, I am INSPIRING millions of people around the world by helping them Re-member Who They Truly Are through the process of sharing the principles within The Hero's Journey to guide them toward their Life's CALLING bringing me and them a life of Bountiful BLISS......

2. LIVELIHOOD/WEALTH:  An Unlimited stream of Abundant Financial Wealth is flooding my daily experience allowing me the freedom to live the life of my DREAMS and allowing me to give back to all others in need....

3. HEALTH:  I am experiencing Self Love and Compassion that together with exercise and proper nutrition are bringing my body and soul into perfectly aligned HEALTH...all so that I may have the ability to fulfill my life's Calling....

4. RELATIONSHIPS:  A new TRIBE of spiritually like minded, caring, authentic, compassionate, and fun loving plutonic and romantic relationships are constantly entering into my experience....so that I have constant companionship and a super support system...

5.  PERSONAL APPEARANCE:  My Mind, Body, and Soul are aligning in perfect vibrational harmony keeping my personal aesthetic in a state of angelic beauty.......Inspiring others to do the same ......

If you will notice, I worded each of these in the PRESENT TENSE!  And that is the first ingredient to the SECRET SAUCE at the core of this principle........The Second ingredient is that you may have noticed that I included a WHY into each of my fleshed out PILLARS. And I urge you to do the same.  By letting the Universe know and understand exactly WHY you desire what you do, it will flood the HOWS(plans) of obtaining these things into your consciousness.  Usually through signs, synchronistic meetings, etc.  Basically, it is delegating the Heavy Lifting to God!!  Does that make sense?!

I spend five to ten minutes, twice a day, repeating these Five Pillars with my eyes closed.  And since we know that our feelings/emotions are the fuel that turbocharge our Thoughts into becoming Things, I actually picture myself already in possession of the fleshed out DESIRES contained within each PILLAR WITH A DEEP AND FERVENT FEELING OF GRATITUDE, HAPPINESS, AND UTTER JOY .   In fact, I am often quite thankful that there are no cameras on me during this twice daily exercise, because I often become SO entrenched in my imagination of already being in possession of my FIVE PILLARS, that I often dance, holler, and scream with joy!!  Really!  LOL  And ya know what?  I suggest you do the same.  NEVER underestimate the power of your emotions. Used correctly, they become our most powerful ally!  Yoda REALLY did know what he was talking about....  ;0)

To summarize my intention in teaching today's post, it is crucial to re-member that THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS.  NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!  Yet the majority of us live life from the polar opposite way of thinking.   We constantly overthink about our current challenging, painful, or confusing situation, wondering HOW in the world it is going to change! And Guess What!!  As long as we keep our focus on what currently IS, the situation will not only never change, chances are, it will actually get worse!!  Yeah...   No joke!!  And absolutely NO FUN!  ;0)  

However, by using THE FIVE PILLARS in our daily manifestation practices, we keep our emotionalized thoughts on the things we desire, as though they were already in our possession.  And although this post may fall too far into the Woo-woo category for some of you, which I can appreciate, it has worked MIRACLES for both me and many of my clients when practiced on an everyday basis!!  Sometimes in the form of the actual materialized abundance directly manifesting, and other times, the plans of action to obtain the desires showing up in all sorts of magical Universal signs and whispers of Divine Intelligence!!!  

Now this process can be taken into a more specific direction, broken down into individual goals, which will be the topic of my next post!!  But for now, using the first stage of THE FIVE PILLARS, which is a more generalized version of this practical paradigm is the perfect way to get ready for what comes next......  Sound groove-o-matic?!!?    TERRIFIC!!  

I'm super excited to hear feedback from any of you who try this paradigm by fleshing out the answers to your own FIVE PILLARS!!    I'd also LOVE to hear about any additional practices you NEW AGE NERDS have used to great result in your own bucket of bristling ideas......

This Is My FAVORITE STORY About The MEANING Of Life..!!!

TODAY'S “MYTHOLOGICAL MAGIC”

~~~  George Bailey   (IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE)


________________________________________________

Back in 1996, I was caught in the middle of an incredibly vitriolic and spiteful business relationship that nearly cost me my life.  I had only been out of college for a couple of years and still finding my way in the wild and at the time wonderful world of television broadcasting.  After a two year stint working for WRC-TV (NBC-Washington, DC) as a sports producer for the ‘George Michael Sports Machine’, I decided that 80 hour work weeks and Holidays spent behind closed doors editing video tapes of college football games while chowing down on what I THINK was cold turkey and stuffing was not the things my dreams were made of!  

So I landed a job for a local TV production company in the suburbs of DC.  They produced a local half hour business program(that I shall refrain from naming for legal purposes) that promoted up and coming tech companies in the DMV area.  The first year was a total BLAST!  Here I was 24 years old, holding meetings with the likes of Steve Case of AOL, and Larry Ellison of Oracle.   This is when the technology revolution was in its infant stage, and simply being around the icons who were prescient enough to see the future was mind blowing!  And in the process I definitely got my MBA at the University of MIH- MAKE IT HAPPEN!  LOL  

During the second year of employment, my boss and then close friend asked me to relocate to San Francisco to start a West Coast version of the show in Silicon Valley, where most of the most influential tech companies were setting up shop.  I had been itching to to get back to the West Coast (I was born in LA) for years and jumped at the opportunity.  And for the first four months, I woke up every morning thinking I was in some sort of duplicate Universe where dreams ALWAYS come true. It was the Land of OZ for the tech set!   I had daily meetings with the CEO's of companies like Sun Microsystems, Yahoo, and Oracle.  Although I sometimes felt out of my league, I NEVER let em see me sweat.  And they accepted me as one of their own.  Meetings by day and parties at night, all in one of the most beautiful and eclectic cities in the world!  I was truly a STARGAZER collecting information and memories of a lifetime.  

And then, one October morning in 1996, I got an email from one of the companies I had met with the previous week.  They were calling me a fraud because I had told them that the sponsors of the show which was to air on the local ABC affiliate were The Wall Street Journal and Dunn and Bradstreet.  The company had connections at both companies and they claimed they were in no way affiliated with the show.  While reading the email, my heart began to pound arrhytmically!  I started having a minor panic attack.  They were threatening to send a letter to every tech company in San Francisco telling them that I was running a scam and to not accept meetings with me.  

I immediately called my boss back in Virginia to try and straighten out this unbelievable mess!  After all, he was the one who told me that those two entities were the sponsors of the show.  I was only repeating the information given to me by him and our company.  After an explicit tirade he fired me on the spot and told me I had 24 hours to vacate the apartment he had set up for me and the rest of the crew.  Needless to say, I was shell shocked.  What the HELL was going on, I thought.  

After having no other choice than to hire a lawyer, the TRUTH slowly unfolded like a guilty lover hiding his dalliances with the utmost discretion.  My boss had lied about the sponsors singing on to the show.  In his infinite wisdom, he believed he could get REAL sponsors signed onto the show before anyone found out.  In the meantime, I was the companies face man out on the West Coast.  The waiter serving food that had been screwed up by the cooks in the proverbial company kitchen.
To save his own ass, he blamed me for all the confusion and sent me to the awaiting wolves.

When I was fired I lost my health insurance and the massive amount of stress over the possibility that my reputation in the tech community was ruined, caused my Crohn's disease to spiral completely out of control.  By the time I was actually able to obtain decent health care, my doctors said my colon was so diseased that it was about to perforate.  Which meant, instant death.  I had lost an enormous amount of weight under the pressure of the previous few months and was actually too weak for the 12 hour surgery to have my colon removed.  But after a long chat with my doctor, I decided to take the risk of having the operation rather than waiting to regain enough weight and strength before going under the knife.  

The memories of the whole surgery and the almost 16 month recovery is still haunting to my soul.  It was excrutiating in ways human beings should never have to suffer.  And let's say that wearing a colostomy bag at age 27 is not exactly a hit with the ladies!  lol  Even though it was hidden underneath my t-shirts, every time I passed gas, the bag blew up like a balloon, scaring the shit out of anyone in arms distance of me.  Yeah, that's how I rolled!   :0)

While recovering from this nightmarish ordeal, you can only imagine the amount of anger and frustration I had toward my former friend and boss.  He went so far as to forbid ANYONE in the company to visit me while I was in the hospital.  There were days and nights in which I absolutely fantasized about ripping all the tubes from the hospital machines from my body and taking a taxi to his house to ummmmmmm...have a little chat!  With my fists acting as compassionate truth seekers!

I held onto that anger and pain of betrayal for quite a while.  In fact, at times it consumed my every thought.  Ironically enough, it was during this time that my current path of self realization started to take its core form.  While still in the hospital, a friend of mine gave me a book called ‘The Celestine Prophecy’, and I for the first time in my life I felt like I was home. A few weeks later i was finally released from the hospital and went straight to the nearest Barnes and Noble with that book firmly in hand.

I excitedly asked the nearest store clerk where this book could be found in the store.  And within a few yards, I was in a row that felt like Conscious Christmas land.  Books after books of like energy to   the one I had carried into the store.  I bought about twenty of them and stormed back to my car to get home as fast as I could to begin what I know now to be the start of my own Hero's Journey.

The first book I read is still today the most influential on my own personal resonance with the world of spiritual truth and Universal Law that felt like TRUTH to me.  The book's title was ‘Conversations with God’ by Neale Donald Walsh.  Page after page was filled with wisdom and knowledge that fed my soul and strengthened my faith!  This was as close to feeling Heaven on Earth as I had ever felt!

And then something that transformed my understanding of human interaction occurred when I got to the section where Mr. Walsh told the story of The Little Soul.  And that parable struck a cord so deep within my consciousness that it still informs my daily interactions nearly twenty years after reading it.  Here is the excerpt from the book itself:

There once was a little soul who knew itself to be the light.  This  was a new soul, and so, anxious for experience. "I am the light,"  it said. "I am the light." Yet all the knowing of it and all the saying of it could not substitute for the experience of it. And in the realm from which this soul emerged, there was nothing but the light.

 Every soul was grand, every soul was magnificent, and every soul shone with the brilliance of MY awesome light. And so the little soul in question was as a candle in the sun. In the midst of the grandest light- of which it was a part- it could not see itself, nor experience itself as Who and What it Really Is.

Now it came to pass, that the little soul yearned and yearned to know itself. And so great was its yearning that "I" one day said, "Do you know little one, what you must do to satisfy this yearning of yours?" "Oh what, God? what? I'll do anything!? The little soul said.

"You must separate yourself from the rest of us," I answered, "and then you must call upon yourself the darkness."

"You may choose to be any Part of God you wish to be," I said to the little soul.

"You are the Absolute Divinity, experiencing Itself. What Aspect of Divinity do you now wish to experience as you?"

"You mean I have a choice," asked the little soul.

I answered, "Yes." You may choose to experience any Aspect of Divinity in, as, and through you."

"Okay," said the little soul, then I choose forgiveness. I want to experience my Self as that Aspect of God called Complete Forgiveness."

Well, this created a little challenge, as you can imagine. 

There was no one to forgive. All I have created is Perfection and Love

"No one to forgive?" asked the Little Soul, somewhat incredulously.

"No one," I repeated. "Look around you. Do you see any souls less perfect, less wonderful than you?"

As the Little soul twirled around, and was surprised to see himself surrounded by all the souls in heaven. They came from far and wide throughout the Kingdom, because they had heard the little soul was having an extraordinary conversation with God.

"I see none less perfect than I," the Little Soul exclaimed." Who then, shall I have to forgive?"

Just then another soul stepped forward from the back of the crowd. "You may forgive me," said the Friendly Soul.

"For what?" the little soul asked.

"I will come onto your next physical lifetime and do something for you to forgive," replied the Friendly Soul.

"But what? What could you, a being of such Perfect Light, do to  make me forgive you?" the Little Soul wanted to know.

"Oh," smiled the Friendly Soul, I'm sure we can think of

something."

"But why would you want to do this?" The Little Soul could not figure out why a being of such perfection would want to slow down its vibration so much that it could actually do something "bad."

"Simple," the Friendly Soul explained," I would do it because I love you. You want to experience your Self as Forgiving, don't you? Besides, you have done the same for me."

"I have?" asked the Little Soul.

"Of course. Don't you remember? We've been All Of It, you and I.

 We've been the Up and the Down of it, and the Left and Right of it.

 We've been the Here and Now of it, and the Now and Then of it.

 We've  been the Big and Small of it, the Male and Female of it, the Good and Bad of it. We've been the All of it.

"And we've done it by agreement, so that each of us might experience ourselves as The Grandest Part of God. For we have understood that.....

"In the absence of that which You Are Not, that Which You Are, is NOT.

"In the absence of 'cold,' you cannot be 'warm.' In the absence of 'sad,' you cannot be 'happy,' without a thing called 'evil,' the experience you call 'good' cannot exist.

If you choose to be a thing, something or someone opposite to that has to show up somewhere in your universe to make that possible."

The Friendly Soul then explained that those people are God's Special Angels, and these conditions God's Gifts.

"I ask only one thing in return, " the Friendly Soul declared.

"Anything! Anything," the Little Soul cried. He was excited now to know that he could experience every Divine Aspect of God. He understood, now The Plan.

"In the moment that I strike you and smite you," said the Friendly Soul, " in the moment that I do the worst to you that you could ever  imagine---in that self-same moment....remember Who I Really Am. For I will have forgotten."

"Oh, I won't forget!" promised the Little Soul. "I will see you in the perfection with which I hold you now, and I will remember Who You Are, always."

~~~ from Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh

And that is why Jesus the Christ, on the cross, looked to the prisoners also being crucified to his left and right and looked to the sky and said to SPIRIT, “Forgive them father, for they know Not what they do.”

That parable created a wave of conscious sensation that removed the veil of illusion from my shortsighted emotions toward my former friend and boss almost instantaneously.  He had given me an opportunity to learn the true and authentic power of FORGIVENESS.  And from that moment on, I decided to hold a space of LOVE and LIGHT for him for as long as I lived. 

In what way does this story touch your feelings about the possible intentions behind the actions and words of those who have hurt or wronged you on your path?  Could it be that there is someone in your past or even in your life currently who stepped up on YOUR behalf to allow you the exact experience you chose to have on your Journey?!  And more importantly, have you remembered WHO THEY TRULY ARE when they caused you that strife and pain, because they chose to forget themselves as the ultimate gesture of Love and Compassion? !  

It might be something worth pondering  as you continue on your path and purpose!  I know it has saved me an enormous amount of resentment, pain and suffering.  And my wish is that it does the same for you......

Learn Why If You Want To Make GOD LAUGH..Tell HIM About Your PLANS..!!

With only 13 days left until we enter the New Year of 2018 (Can you Believe It Already?!?) , many of you New Age Nerds are using your free time to make plans for all the GOALS you which to accomplish.  And for those of you are have started to flesh out your DREAMS and GOALS for the New Year....What the heck are you waiting for?!?  ;0)

Did you know that simply by actually writing down your GOALS, you are FIVE times  more likely to achieve them!!  Hopefully that statistic in and of itself is enough motivation to THINK about what your DESIRE to manifest into your experience during the next 12 months!!  During the last 20 years of my studying to become an Inspirational Life and Leadership Coach and Teacher, I have come across a plethora of of information about the “Right and Wrong" way to manifest your DESIRES.  Now everyone who follows the basic tenets of being a NEW AGE NERD understands that Right and Wrong don't actually exist.  Why you ask?  Terrific question.  It is because there would have to be a Universal judge to decide on what actions are in which camp.  And as we all understand, GOD DOES NOT JUDGE!  EVER! Do not misunderstand me; that does NOT mean that there are not repercussions in this Earthly plane for our actions.  Our actions carry with them an energy that vibrates with them a reverberation that ECHOS out through all SOULS on this planet.  And so they affect everyone as a collective whole.  But I teach a principle that states that so long as our DESIRES DO NOT hurt any other Soul, and truly serve our Highest Purpose, they are worthy of our attention.   For energy truly flows where our attention goes.  

Now that we have gotten that discourse out of the way, let's get back to the main course of this post; namely creating our GOALS for 2018!!  And here is THE SECRET SAUCE to creating your most heartfelt DESIRES in the New Year!!  Your subconscious mind CANNOT determine between what is real and what is IMAGINED in your mind's eye.    There is a Universal teaching called THE LAW OF AUTOSUGGESTION that states that THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS TO THE MIND EXCEPT FOR THOSE WE ACKNOWLEDGE.  Basically, you can 'CONVINCE' your subconscious mind that you are already in possession of that which you desire!  How, exactly, can this seemingly Magic Trick of the Cosmos performed.  Well, it isn't nearly as complicated as you may think.  And Re-member that THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS!  PERIOD!!!!  Unfortunately, the majority of us turn this truth around and then become completely frustrated with what shows up in our life.  Meaning that most of us concentrate on what is currently going on in our lives(THE THINGS) and with wishful thinking believe that these THINGS will somehow become our THOUGHTS if we can somehow change them into being so!   

let me give you an example. Let's say you are in a job you cannot stand, and your heartfelt GOAL is to find a new job that will make you happy and give you the income your DESIRE.  Most of us will concentrate on our current situation with feelings of lack and want.  And because the Universe, through the power of AUTOSUGGESTION to our subconscious mind, will feed it with the energy of our focus, namely lack and want, we will continue to experience NO THING different than our current situation.  

HOWEVER, if we feed our subconscious mind, through our IMAGINATION, the NEWLY DESIRED goal we seek, our subconscious mind, unable to determine between what is real and what is IMAGINED, will convert that energetic focus into your reality. 

So when writing down your GOALS for 2018, take time out of each and every day(10-15 minutes ) to find a quite place, close your eyes, and IMAGINE that those GOALS have ALREADY MANIFESTED INTO YOUR LIFE.   In order to convince your subconscious mind that you are already in possession of your heartfelt Desired Goal, you MUST mix your thoughts of it already being in your possession with the POWER OF EMOTION, actually feeling the desired goal, through the VISUALIZATION of IMAGINATION .  For instance, if a new job is your GOAL, actually IMAGINE yourself in that new office, with that new boss, and how you want to feel while being in that new position that you so DESIRE.  And do not be afraid to let your Freak Flag fly during this habit.  As you imagine this new reality now in your precious possession, DO NOT be afraid to allow your deepest feelings and emotions shine through.  Pump your fist, jump up and down, as you feel the thrill of actually KNOWING that you have actually created this new reality for yourself!!!  

The last and final step is to take daily ACTION toward your desired GOALS.  That's right, the last part of the magic elixir that will help to manifest your GOALS is through the power of daily action steps.  By taking small steps toward your goal each and every day, eventually, the subconscious mind, having now been convinced through the power of AUTOSUGGESTION that it is already in your possession, will actually deliver into your CONSCIOUS mind the plans of action you should take in order to make your GOALS a reality.   You will actually start to have daily silent whispers and intentions of the actual steps you should take!   How absolutely MAGICAL is that truth?!?   Right?!?

I hope incorporating these suggestions into your Goal Making for 2018 will leave you BLESSED with all your heartfelt DESIRES manifesting into your life..................

Do You Know The DIFFERENCE Between Your CALLING and Your PURPOSE..?!?!?

As the majority of us are in the throws of the amazing and tantalizing feelings of BELIEF and GRATITUDE that befalls us every Holiday Season, I wanted to focus today's post on a topic that may be the most vital to your ability to live a life of unadorned BLISS!  After all, isn't that what we all truly DESIRE!  Whether we realize it or not, the majority of our actions stem from our unconscious state of Re-membrance that occurs when we re-align ourselves with the vibration of utter HAPPINESS and JOY.   That is the ultimate END RESULT that we all seek, whether we are conscious of this fact or not.    And “perfect happiness and great joy” just happens to be the EXACT definition of BLISS!!  Go check it out for yourself....I'll patiently wait...:0)     See.....Told ya so!!!   LOL

As an Inspirational Life and Leadership Transformationalist, the most commonly asked question I am confronted by my clients with is “WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?!?”, usually followed by a raspy declaration of “AND WHY AM I HERE?!?  Sound familiar with you?!  I am willing to bet this year's lot of Santa's bounty with anyone that the answer is a resounding HELL YES!!  ;0)

In fact, I have spent over a decade trying to construct and summarize a paradigm that would dutifully assist others whose lives have become mired in this seemingly unsolvable mystical puzzle toward their purpose that most can NEVER seem to solve in a manner that would be both practical and completely understandable in both ethereal and pragmatic vibrations!  And in the process, I have witnessed a cacophony of SO much inordinate and unnecessary emotional pain and strife that comes as the byproduct of BELIEVING that we must find the RIGHT answer to this question or be forced to live a life of guilt and utter confusion.  Ummm.....Yeah....  No fun!!   Feel me..   I sure HOPE so!!  

So before I continue, I would love everyone still reading to take a DEEP breathe, exhale, and then simply RELAX!  Why, you ask?!?  Because the TRUTH is that we ALL share the exact same purpose!!  Let me repeat that.  JUST AS WE ARE ALL ONE, WE ALSO ALL SHARE THE EXACT SAME PURPOSE!!  All souls on this planet have the PURPOSE of sharing LOVE through being of service to the world using our Heavenly Father's specialized talents and gifts meant SPECIFICALLY  for YOU.  That's right! No one soul has ever carried a Heart Song that sounds like yours and no soul EVER WILL!  And that's the answer so many of you have been diligently searching for the majority of your lives.  Whewwwwww!!! No more searching in vain!   While I am not done fleshing out the full equation of this former dilemma for so many, hopefully you are already feeling the soothing Re-membrance of this core TRUTH!  ;0)  

However, I am currently feeling from the ether of Infinite Intelligence the steely glare of many of the NEW AGE NERDS who are following along with today's discourse whom are still very much confused about the eternal TRUTH that EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PURPOSE!  Ok, ok, before I lose your confidence in my Divine Epiphanies, allow me the opportunity to further explain myself.  Capiche?! Terrific! And THANK YOU for your patience!  ;0)

There is a Secret Sauce to this quandary that will hopefully further define the Divine Clarity to any and all confusion that may be entering into your understanding of this post.  And the main ingredient of this newly concocted formula has to do with your CALLING!  That's right!  And those of you who are dishearteningly thinking that digesting the fact that we all serve the EXACT SAME PURPOSE without any distinction, please allow me to further explain.  Because this is where I believe you will be ignited with the Passion of your unique and individual CALLING that will IGNITE everyone in your chosen PATH!!!!  

In the simplest of spiritual terms, we already now Re-member that we ALL SHARE THE EXACT SAME PURPOSE!!  But each and every one of us are also a UNIQUE emanation of SOURCE energy and carry within us a beacon of differentiated divinity.  Basically, we are all given a very special set of gifts that are meant to be shared with the world.  They make a true positive and loving difference in others lives.  Gifts that when are activated in this realm cause time to 'fly by'!!  When we have the courage to unleash these gifts in the physical realm, they will usually be met with an amalgam of various external praise from those who experience their power.  For instance, have you ever let one- or many- of your freak flags(unique divine gifts) blow without expectation, only to be met with a plethora of freakishly positive declarations of feedback from all those around you?!?  Strangers suddenly sharing with you their experience of your Heroic deeds and gifts with a bountiful praise that only re-confrims your inner KNOWINGNESS that you are on the path meant to share your precious gifts with the whole world....   Heck....Even the entirety of the whole Cosmos!!   And it's as though the Universe is issuing you confirmation that you are meant TO BE sharing these gifts with The Whole as your individual CALLING ?!?  Raise your hand if this rings true.....Holy Guacamole......Almost everyone's hand is up and shaking!!    That's what I'm talking about!!    LOL   ;0)  And you thought the Universe didn't have a PLAYBOOK especially designed exactly for you and your special gifts......    AS IF!!!!!

If you are still somewhat confused about the purpose of today's post, that is OK.  This is important stuff.  This adventure you agreed to before the invention of TIME and SPACE is NOT for the faint of heart.  Thankfully the Universe has spread their answers of Re-membrance to many teachers throughout the many Galaxies so that you may Re-member WHO YOU TRULY ARE AND WHY YOU ARE HERE.!!

To simplify the intention of today's post with as much clarity as possible, let me make the following declaration!   Although everyone has the EXACT SAME PURPOSE, we each have a myriad of INDIVIDUAL CALLINGS that are No Thing less than a support system that allows us to fulfill our UNIQUE reasons for BEING!!  Our CALLINGS are the individual means to support the PURPOSE we all share.   For instance some are CALLED to be teachers, mothers and fathers, financial instructors, musicians, coaches, architects, artists, writers, speakers, entrepreneurs, caretakers, and the list is never-ending........And even cooler than that.....Most of us have SEVERAL callings in each lifetime!!  Several Hero/Heroine's Journeys that we have agreed to experience  bring forth the hidden Strength, Courage, Compassion, and soulful understanding that each Calling requires for its completion!   So no more need to spend precious energy on whether we are spending our energy on the RIGHT calling....  As long as we are using our gifts to spread LOVE in the of SERVICE of others...  we are fulfilling one of our CALLINGS!! Nuff said!!!   

If you take No Thing else away from today's post, my wish is your new understanding of the difference between your CALLING and your PURPOSE.   One last time.....Your PURPOSE is to share LOVE with others by way of SERVICE!!  Your calling is the UNIQUE manner in which you decide to fulfill your PURPOSE by sharing your Heaven sent gifts with the world!!  It is the outlet in which Free Will reigns supreme and we are given the green light to unleash our unlimited bounty of energetic gifts in a vibrational frequency that will attract our personal TRIBE who have been patiently waiting for our CALLING to assist them i!

And guess what.......WE SET THIS SYSTEM UP OURSELVES....Pretty frickin' cool, huh!?!?

Interested in Having a FANTASTIC 2018.. READ THIS...!!!

I can't BELIEVE we are less than 3 weeks from 2018!! While I know many of you are making plans and goals for the New Year, I wanted to share with you a very special INVITATION that I hope will INSPIRE you to RAISE THE BAR on the types of individuals we choose to have in our lives. Please Re-member, it is perfectly acceptable to LOVE people from the other side of the room. Because the greatest aspect of determining our happiness and success is who we let into our TRIBE... So choose wisely....

I'm not interested in the accolades you have accumulated in the presence of others...

I want to know what you do in the solitude of your darkest nights..

When one's true integrity is discovered...

Do you shrivel before the RESISTANCE of your ego..

Or carve through the Veil of Illusion even as your own tears cloud your vision...

With unbreakable FAITH that a Miracle will be birthed on the other side..

I could care less how many times you go to church...

to be 'FED' by the word of God........

I INVITE you to tell me how many hours you've spent feeding others through acts of CHARITY....

It doesn't impress me that you ALWAYS remember Birthdays and Anniversaries..

I'm curious how many times you've done something special for another...'JUST BECAUSE'....

I'll NEVER remember how many Facebook friends you have amassed.....

But I will NEVER forget the times you were a true friend by loving me in times of SORROW.....

I won't treat you any different based on how many degrees you have plastered on your walls....

But I will study how well you've learned by your previous missteps...

I may never know how many musical instruments you have mastered...

But can you make my SOUL SMILE through the song your heart plays in my presence....

I'm not interested in your favorite bedtime stories from a childhood past....

I want to know what STORIES you tell yourself about your

own purpose for 'BEING'....

I could care less about your current net worth....

No.....What I want to understand, is in what ways are you

WORTHY of your own SUFFERINGS....

I won't notice how fancy your 'dance moves' may be...

I want to know if you are courageous enough to 'Dance to the Beat of Your Own Drummer' even if it means being laughed at for being 'DIFFERENT'

And PLEASE do not bore me with how technologically savvy you fancy yourself to be....

Rather...I want to comprehend why you'd rather TEXT ....Then

pick up the phone and hear my VOICE say.."I MISS YOU..TONS!!"..

I'm not interested in how many 'Thank You' notes you've sent for all the amazing gifts you may have received...

I want you to tell me how many times you've said "THANK YOU"..for still being your friend...Even AFTER your words may have 'cut to the bone'...

I will never be impressed by how much money you've earned, or even given away.....

I want to know how often you've shared your ABUNDANCE of FEARS and FAILURES with others.....So that they know they are NOT alone when confronted with theirs

And I will not be offended by how many times you forget my Birthday...

For the only thing I DESIRE you to remember...Is how utterly PERFECT... You already are.......

This End of Year HABIT Will Change Your LIFE..!!!

Here is a wonderful end of year practice I would like to share with my fellow NEW AGE NERDS! But before I do, I would like to share a very sobering TRUTH about the world's abundance. Did you know that less than 5% of all the SOULS on this planet own over 90% of the world's collective wealth?!?! THAT IS FACT!

And it is an absolutely crying shame. DISGUSTING in fact! Did you also know that if everyone, no matter how rich or poor, gave just 10% of their wealth and we distributed it fairly, ALL poverty in the world would be eradicated in an instant?!? ALSO A FACT!!

With those truths in mind here is something we can all do that not only shares our own abundance with those who live in a vibration of LACK, but also will fill our own experience with new BEGINNINGS of abundance to start the New Year...... In fact, I spent all day doing this very yearly HABIT......

There is a little known spiritual law that I would like to share with you! The UNIVERSE absolutely abhors a vacuum. What does this mean in layman terms?!?! Well, let me espouse further on this oh so very important UNIVERSAL LAW.....

When Source Energy experiences a reduction in ANY form, it floods that reduction with new energy that matches the EXACT form in which it was eradicated. Basically, Earthly energy can be neither created or destroyed. Only replaced!!

So at the end of each and every year, I go through my clothes, and all my other earthly possessions and give away any of them that no longer serve me. So any clothes I haven't worn in eons, or possessions that no longer enhance my reason for keeping them, I simply GIVE AWAY. Today, I gave away two GI-normous bags of my personal items to the United Lupus Foundation. And it felt absolutely AMAZING to know that so many of my fellow brothers and sisters who are in desperate need of basic material necessities will receive what no longer served me!

And while my INTENTION for this yearly habit is to share my own abundance with others in need, there is a MAGICAL repercussion in my actions of doing so that will also be replicated with anyone who practices this action of GRATITUDE. As stated earlier, the UNIVERSE absolutely abhors a vacuum. So when you give away your own abundance, Source Energy will tune into that frequency and flood your experience with new people, places, and things to replace that which you gave away! Pretty COOL huh?!?! Does that make any sense?!? I hope it does!

So I urge all my fellow TRIBE members to incorporate this Powerful end of year HABIT into their practice and watch the MAGICAL experiences replace anything and everything you gave away!! For as the SAGE saying espouses, that which you give away you become......!!!!
