FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real)

Real or Not, fear can leave you with the feeling of being "trapped".  It can leave you feeling hopelessness, which can be quite paralyzing.

With just a change of your focus, you'll be able to regain your strength in a short period of time.

First, understand that "Yesterday's History" and "Tomorrow's a Mystery".  All your power is in the here and now!

Each day, make sure you take care of your spiritual needs, and no, I'm not talking about religion.  I'm talking about the spirit inside of you.  That place that offers extreme joy and happiness, the place where inspiration comes from.

Walk outside in nature, meditate, sing a happy song, laugh, smile, run.  Allow yourself to express itself.  Do things that brings you joy AT LEAST once a day...and hopefully throughout the day.

By doing this everyday, your days will be happier because you're bringing happiness in daily.  When you're happy, your soul is free to express, to feel, to create....to be in ...

Setbacks are only temporary.  Many times, growth is attainable only through those temporary setbacks.  As it affords us time to pause and ponder what happened; think through a respectful solution; and put together a well thought-out plan to move forward.

Hope is the eternal flame that burns within each of us.

Don't forget the power of the positivity you bring to this world!!  Your talents or gifts might be different or unconventional, but it's precisely the uniqueness that is entrusted to you, to bring forth into this crazy world at this time.

Embrace your purpose.

The world is inviting you to step out of your comfort zone and into a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.  This is about the very essence of who you are; the energy you bring to every moment.

You are part of the community for change!

Sometimes life hurts!

Lessons are here for us to learn and grow from. We need to find our own way in life.  Sometimes we rely on other people's thoughts, discernment, or beliefs, more than we value our own.

There's nothing wrong with listening to others thoughts and beliefs.  But Discernment, that job is ours!

We all came to this planet for a powerful purpose, and it's different for each person.  If we gather other people's opinions and try to "fuse" them into our life, it may make things "confusing" for what WE came to do!

Most of us discover our life's purpose through our personal experiences.  We need these experiences to teach us, and help us to develop.  That's why it's important to experience, explore, and discern what's real for us.  So we can share our authentic self with the world.

These disappointments not only help expand us and our purpose...they are also contributing to the expansion of the world.

Let's Grow Together!

When you watch this video, notice how it affects the people around her.  Notice how it affects you, at a soul level.

This reaches us at the core of our being.  This core area is where our power comes from....and it is at the "NOW" moment.  And then this NOW moment.  All of our power is in each "Now Moment".

We are created will all kinds of abilities we don't use.  Find your power.  Own your power, and become Free!

Definition of "Courage" from Webster's Unabridged Dictionary:

   "The quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear, bravery."

We just finished celebrating 247 years of Independence from the Crown Monarchy.  Imagine the courage our forefathers had to have to stand up against the military might of the Royal Navy and the many battleships in the harbor.

Where has this courage gone?  These men fought, some died, and others wrote our Constitution which is the highest law in the land.  How many have read the Constitution?  It’s not that big of a text….AND it defines all of the rights that are held by the People of this Country.  It also defines a small parameter which our voted official can operate within.  Anything outside of that given parameter is Unconstitutional.

What happens when the government operates outside of those parameters?  That’s what the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights tells us what we can, and must do.  If n...

Didn't our parents try to teach us this?  I'm sure I'm not the only one whose parents said, “If your friends jumped of a bridge, does that mean you have to?"

It's important for us to think for ourselves.  We are all here for a different part to play in life, so does it make sense for everyone to think the same?  Do the same thing?  Have the same opinion?

NO!  Nothing new would be created if we did!

You are expanding and growing as a person.  You're creating a new tomorrow, for you, your family, and your community.

Enjoy the freedom of learning from your experiences, the good experiences and the bad ones.  For me, I've learned more from the experiences that didn't go as planned. 

Enjoy the freedom of being Perfectly You!

 Its understanding just like every lock has its on unique key, so it is with Success

Every person has a unique purpose for being on this planet, and at this specific time. No two people are the same.  Even twins may look very similar, but even they have unique differences and purposes.

Success is understanding they have their own purpose.

Success is respecting others for the gifts each person brings to the world.

Success is holding your beliefs about your purpose, regardless of other people's opinions.

Success is trying something new and unfamiliar.

Success is getting up after a fall and courage to try again.

Objective definition:

A person who is not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.  Being impartial or unbiased.

        Subjective definition:

A person who is influenced by personal feelings, taste or opinions.  Allowing emotions or biases to sway the outcome.

To gain clarity in your life, make sure you understand which lens you're looking through.

Once you discover something is damaged in your life and needs repair, there's an honest assessment that's needed.

To be able to step back and objectively look at your options.

I actually went through my home being severely damaged due to a fire.  My sister came over, looked at the house and said "What a Tragedy!"  Without a delay I replied, "No, it's not a tragedy, it's an inconvenience."

I'm not sure if I said that for her, or for me!!  There was so much work ahead of me, so many belongings destroyed, that when I looked at it as a "Tragedy"....I felt my energy depleted; but if it's an "Inconvenience", then I had the energy to deal with the situation.

When dealing with a big change like a sudden fire, your emotions waver back and forth as you find something dear that's now lost....processing the feelings....then return back to gratitude that no one got hurt.  We need to feel our feelings, but then we also need to regain our balance and notice what is still going well in our lives....
