Anthony Robbins: Who Do You Think You Are?

Message From the Universe: Reading Into People's Mind!

Actually, it's not as if your angels can just drop everything they're doing and come running whenever you call for assistance, guidance, and love.

You pretty much are everything they're doing.

Before you even ask,
The Universe"
Your energy comes from within you and everyone feels it. This is what we call energy signature, everyone in the world has it. When you meet someone new, the one most important thing that attracts you to that person is their energy signature. Now, let's not kid ourselves. This energy signature is composed of many different features that one person possess, which can be both physical and spiritual. When you are attracted to someone, well, besides their physical appearance, you have somewhat of a connection that you wouldn't have with anyone else. You are drawn to that perfect for a reason you may not be able to explain, well, besides how amazing they look. Beware though as physical appearance may change through time as you grow mentally and spiritually. Nevertheless, that person's energy is unique and you want to get to know that individual in a more profound way. Once accomplished, it is crucial to always keep your energy signature in sync with each other as time may pull you apart. If, for example, you decide to take meditation and grow spiritually, your perception of the world around you will change, where the same world to your significant other is stagnant. Your views about life might create conflict in the long term, and disagreements will arise accordingly. This is the beginning of the end.

This is a very common trend among many couples who grow apart because one of the party decides to change their way of living, where the other decides to stay the same. It is important to always discuss these major life changes, especially in the realm of spirituality. Not everyone may see the way you do, which can create somewhat of a disconnect among everyone involved. Other areas where you can break ties with your significant other is when one decide to stop drinking, using drugs or decide to get on a diet while the other sticks with the same old routine. The encouragement factor is not present and one may decide to leave the other person because of this toxic environment. Relationships break apart for a myriad of reasons and I can go on discussing about them for pages and pages at a time. The key is to remember that when dealing with another person, especially with the person you love the most, is to understand what they need to make them happy. Work on making yourself a better person so they can get inspired to doing the same. Take initiative in that regard. Do not wait for them to ask for things to change. I know it can be hard to read their mind, but just give it a try. It may not be as difficult as you may think.

5 Self Improvement Tips for Personal Power, Peak Performance and Prosperity

I believe that, ultimately, we all want peace and fulfillment more than anything else.

Of course, there are other things we want. And truth is, we must actualize some of these other things if we are to attain deep and lasting peace.

Of course, fulfillment itself comes primarily, if not exclusively, from actualizing our other needs, such as the need for growth, contribution, stimulation and mattering.

All of these things mean we must master our mindset - our beliefs, habitual thoughts and expectations. We must be committed to personal development. Only if we are developing personally will our lives develop materially.

Here are five tips to create greater peace, motivation and mindset mastery.

1. Accept only self-compassion and positive self-talk.

This is a tough one. Most of us engage in self-flagellation, to one degree or another. This emanates from our belief-set; our mindset.

Make an active and habitual practice to seek out and compliment yourself on your skills, virtues and wins.

Habitually recognize, praise and congratulate yourself, as you would a child you love.

Seriously. Make a conscious, active and habitual practice of this. You will be amazed at how this practice alone will massively change your habitual mindset, feelings and emotions. Increasing your state of being, motivation, joy and fulfillment.

At the end of each day, make a list of three to five things you did well. Also add one thing you will do better next time. Always keep the ratio skewed at least 3 to 1 towards the positive.

2. Never compare yourself to others.

We all have our own path, our own brain, mind and personality. Another's path has no bearing whatsoever on our validity, ability or journey - other than in the empowering lessons we can take from their lives.

Learn from others, but don't ever compare yourself to others.

Use lessons from others for personal development and success. But never compare yourself to another.

Believe in yourself. Be aware of and grateful for your strengths, while determined to constantly grow and improve.

3. Accept, even celebrate, that life will absolutely have disappointments and pain. They are the fuel to self improvement.

We all want to grow. To figure things out. And to matter. We all want to create and experience personal success.

Success equals change. Positive change. Growth.

If WE aren't growing and developing, our lives cannot grow and develop.

When do we grow most? Heck, for most of us, most of the time, when do we grow at all?

When we experience obstacles, disappointments and pain. When we hit setbacks, which fuel motivation and determination to change and make things better. And only when we change for the better do our results change for the better.

Hack your mind to revel in obstacles, disappointments and, yes, even pain. Know that they are not permanent. Nor are they an indication of any lack on your part. See and feel them and beautiful opportunities to take advantage of and accelerate personal development. They bring us closer to being the person and success for which we are destined.

4. There is no failure, but in failing to begin or failing to continue.

I passionately believe this to be true. Whatever our outcomes, we only fail in not trying or giving up.

Stay true to your ultimate purpose, mission and vision and adjust your strategies and tactics as wisdom dictates.

Changing direction isn't necessarily failure or negative. Don't give up on your dream, but do stay true to your soul. If you are truly meant for a path other than the current one you placed yourself on, accept that and move passionately onto the new path.

Be generous, loving, kind and compassionate with yourself. Have and hold yourself to high standards, but with loving compassion and optimism that you will capitalize on and prevail in all circumstances. Treat yourself with the love, patience and compassion a wise altruistic elder would treat the beautiful soul of a child.

5. Love yourself. Believe you are perfect. But that you will become more perfect each day and that the journey is never over.

Keep this self-image. Constantly love, support, praise and humor yourself as you would the child or friend you most love or as you would be loved and supported by a loving, more seasoned and wiser person who would love you.

But also keep the thirst for personal development and success burning within. We are all works in process. Perfect as we are today, but driven to an even higher level of perfection today and tomorrow.

There you have it. Five habitual practices that will help bring you all you are after: Love, peace, prosperity, growth, stimulation and, probably, anything else your soul desires.

Cheers friends.

What do you want more of? Money? Career growth? Fulfillment?

As they say: "to get something we've never had, we must do something we've never done."

How Might You DEVELOP Your Assets/Skills?

Have you ever wondered why some others, who you consider, less - skilled, and lacking many of the talents and attributes, you possess, sometimes, seem to succeed, when you have less than stellar results? It might be, your self - perceptions, are overly optimistic and positive, or, while you have many quality skills, etc, you have not sufficiently developed them, to your best interest! Wouldn't it, therefore, make sense, to proceed forward, in an introspective, objective manner, and do, everything possible, to positively, DEVELOP your personal skills and/ or assets, in order to, become the best, you might be? With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means, and how it might be helpful, and personally, gratifying.

1. Delve deeply; discover: Many of us, make the same mistake, of assuming, we know what we do best, as well as our personal strengths and weaknesses. However, it is wise, to take the time, and make the effort, to delve deeply, in as introspective and objective manner, as possible, to identify these, in a realistic manner. What might you commit to, in order to discover, what you need to do, to seek self - improvement?

2. Excellence: Are you willing to go beyond, the norm, and avoid taking the often - easier path, of settling for good - enough? Your personal greatness, will only present itself, when you consistently, commit to the highest degree of personal excellence!

3. Vision; view: Have you ever considered your personal, vital, vibrant vision? Are you certain, it is yours, and you are not, simply, adopting that, of others? Would you like you, if objectivity, was your perspective and commitment? How do you view yourself, and does that drive you forward, by providing you with a greater degree of self - confidence, or is it a detriment?

4. Emphasis; evolve; empathy: Do you possess genuine empathy, which helps you better understand, the needs, goals, and perceptions of others? Why have you opted for a particular emphasis? Are you ready, willing and able, to evolve, consistently, to become a better person?

5. Listen; learn: While many people take courses, go to school, or participate in certain training, you'll only maximize the benefit, if you consistently, learn from every conversation, and experience. Transforming listening effectively, to improved judgment, and hopefully, wisdom, should be your objective!

6. Options; opportunities; opinions: Will you be one of the few, who proceeds forward, consistently, and examines multiple options, in a way, which positions you, to recognize and take advantage of the finest opportunities? How will you evaluate, whether your opinion, is based on logic, or merely, rhetoric?

7. Priorities: philosophy; perception; planning: It's important to realize, one's perceptions, often, impact their priorities! Will your developed, philosophy, be helpful, to you, by permitting you, to commit to the best, possible, relevant planning?

It's often not about your skills, and assets, but, rather, how you use and DEVELOP them, in a personally, beneficial way! Will you seek, to become, the best you can be?

A Growth Mindset

How many people have a memory seared into their brains of one particular mistake made in school or on the job that was simply so mortifying that they never, ever, ever made that same mistake again? In other words, they learned the hard way but they really learned that lesson. For life.

I was listening to an interview last week with Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, in which she was discussing her inspiration for starting the non-profit organization. In short, she was galvanized by the disparity she saw between the way girls and boys were taught to approach risk and potential failure throughout childhood and adolescence. She saw girls being encouraged to strive for perfection, therefore making them less likely to seek out new challenges or activities at which they might fail. She felt that coding, an endeavor that could easily be described as a never-ending series of tweaks, mini-failures, and fixes, was not only a valuable way to "re-train" this failure avoidance in young girls, but also an important step in closing the gender gap in the technology field.

This got me thinking about mistake-driven learning and the importance of having the freedom to safely fail in education. In his recent article, 7 Benefits of Mistake-driven Learning, Christopher Pappas advocates for its advantages in reinforcing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, higher-level learning capacity, and the key role that trial & error + solution reformulation plays in boosting knowledge retention and comprehension. He makes the case that creating an eLearning environment where students are safe to explore consequences to their actions, and then revise their approach based on individual outcomes, is crucial to preparing them for success in the real world.

In another write-up, the same author talks even more specifically about the benefits of applying Repair Theory, which explains the fundamental role of mistakes in procedure-based learning, to the eLearning design process. By implementing realistic simulations, branching scenarios, and real-time, personalized feedback for eLearners, it is possible to create a learning environment in which students are not only safe to fail and learn from their mistakes, but one that also provides contextual layers upon which the learner is able to apply new their knowledge.

One of my recent projects involved the development of online scenario-based case studies for students in health sciences programs. Talk about a field in which rote memorization of processes and procedures will just not cut it! For students in these programs, a thorough understanding built upon a scaffolding of contextual knowledge and interconnected concepts is critical. And so the instructional design of these online cases must create an ecosystem in which the students can immerse themselves in scenarios, use critical thinking skills to make interlinked decisions, and learn from their own mistakes in a safe online environment.

The idea that we learn most effectively from real experience and from our mistakes is applicable in education and in business because it is so deeply rooted in human behavior. No one wants to make mistakes and we all (at some point) shy away from the possibility of failure. But how much better would we be if we could let go of that limiting fear, allow ourselves to be brave enough to try new things and test uncharted waters, in order to then fail fast and become better?

Never Stop Learning.

The Sky Is Not the Limit - The Power Of Positivity

We often hear the phrase "The sky is the limit" and often we hear this when the people around us are expressing their negative feelings on the topic at hand. But do you know that there is another phrase that contradicts this cliché? The phrase "nothing is set in stone" is the one that many successful people use whenever they try or aim for something and that, with the power of positivity, can make anything in this world possible.

The Power of Positivity

People who are successful use the power of being positive in everything they do. One of the concepts that is practiced in positivity is the law of attraction. The law of attraction might be a scientific concept but it is never truer and more applicable than to our society today. Many researchers believe that what people surround themselves with becomes their own actions and thoughts later on. It might not be obvious or apparent at the start and this surprises many when their actions or feelings are observed later on. This is the reason many sociologists or therapists recommend that individuals should surround themselves with positive things to ward off negative feelings.

Another area of being successful is to envision one's own desires and put it into action. Oftentimes, one wants to achieve something but lacks the desire to see it through. Many people blame others for their failure to reach their goals which produces negative results as well. When one wants to become successful, it is important to focus and put their thoughts into actions and carry the responsibilities that come with achieving what they want in life. By taking responsibilities and initiative, one is more concentrated and motivated to reach their goals in life.

What to do to Harness Positivity

When people want changes to happen to their life, they need to understand that they have to leave their comfort zone and start taking charge of their lives. It may be uncomfortable at the start and even cause friendships to end, but sometimes changes can be awkward but may also be the best thing to happen to your life. Cut the negativity that runs in your life - people who you think will drag you down and negative thoughts and envision what you want your life to be. Surround yourself with positive things, find mentors, visualize what you want and you will wake up one day and realize that you have achieved what you want to do and are happier than you were before.

Improving Your Stage Presence

Why do you feel giving 100% of yourself to something in the first place? And why notice the small stuff not adding up? The attempt to create a new idea, as in building a social network, even landing roles for an audition to simply work on your own to make some money... DID YOU think to yourself it will be easy? (I didn't). What about your stage presence in the world at large, did you wonder if one form of acting had anything to do with your not acting well in other places of your life?

Me, I had a "why" question for everything. From why my life worked or didn't, to why my hustle or ambition wasn't aligning any more to my reality than my personal clarity reflecting my own inner authority. Did I REALLY even feel "at all" I can change these things about my life in the first place; From my fixed work habits to new beginnings, assuming I had some access and control to the power stage (within me already activated and design to help me win.)

This level of awareness is where I found I've been saving for others the saying: EXPERIENCE is THE BEST TEACHER, and not ever once considering it for myself. I missed the part where I am THE CREATOR of my own Masterpiece.

I would block out the rest of the world (mentally) just to tune my mind some where I was not to keep from discovering my own life's energy. I sometime felt I was a record spinning out of control and muted most of the times whole songs (EVENTS) playing noise in my head, I eventually got to the place where SOMETHING had to give: where I'd tell close friends... KNOW what you saying to YOURSELF even though I didn't follow my own advice. It happened all the time in shifts of NOW.

The hardest TIME in the world is... MOVING and fast and right in the right direction. Many of us we look for the light, except the insight might seem to be holding still...

"Humming." To do what everybody else is doing. THIS is the action position many of us are using for a POST UP stage presence..to FEEL included or joined in synced to the frequency of A TIME. Except this is not enough to later feel honored or represented... like taking medicine not knowing if you got the illness or even are sick.

We can miss the moments to SHINE, acting unaware of ourselves..being lost in our sense of what today might be about; sometime reasoning is not enough and never gaining CONSCIOUSNESS in part, while we drift in our so call PASSIONS, seeming full with gaps minus any type of luck or opportunity. I think in a heartbeat we all experience a kind of VIBE which does go unnoticed, it is this power within that touches us AND at given 100% of our self to an ACT.

My point the next time you feel your stuff is not adding up and feeling frustrated to go alone with everyBODY around you..instead go within your own heart. Find your shortcomings, your misgivings or the doubts. While therein is the feedback and everything which will remind you of the emotional wave that keeps you out of touch with your best character, YOU.

Open to the sea of experience, appearing to crash over the growth (pain) in each fade of tides to a single blend. Start showing up AS YOURSELF..even when NATURALLY we're suppose to... ACT LIKE WAVES baring a stage presence not of our own makings, it is this finding of our experience for BEING EMOTIONAL something miraculous happens! Sometimes the vibe of risking it all for THE OPPORTUNITY pulls us IN and unsuspectingly to feel free! Most times it will not happen all at once... especially when we act alone. Pay attention I say..we are able to collect the moments... A PARADISE of our own makings.

How To Keep Yourself Happy

Think about how dull the world would be without happiness. Without happiness, it would be like donuts without sprinkles and a cup of tea without biscuits. The world needs its equilibrium, a balance like that of Yin and Yang's. Without happiness, imagine what the world would be without the vibrant colors of the flowers and the sounds of the morning birds that flew by.

The world spins around its axis and never stops its mechanical work. With heavy tasks upon its shoulder, never for once it complains or expresses its unhappiness. And yet, us living creatures deal with unhappiness and dissatisfaction every day.

Why Do People Become Unhappy?

People have varying reasons upon why they are unhappy. Unhappiness can come from large issues and serious ones like the increase in unemployment rate. In various parts of the globe, not only it leads to economic crisis, but also affects the quality of living. Sometimes, people can be unhappy with the littlest things- when one loses a notepad or when a pencil accidentally breaks. Being happy is not at all an impossible state; though, it is truly difficult to remain 'happy' at all times. With numerous factors that affect one's feelings, emotions, and thoughts, happiness runs away and dissolves into thin air from time to time.

Do What Makes You Feel Like Being Yourself

In most cases, people feel 'happy' whenever they get to do what they like. Be it sports or music, getting oneself emerged into activities or hobbies can help increase self-confidence and self-value. It is highly important to respect oneself, understand what one likes, and know what can be done to be in a healthy mood. Doing what others do to look good does not meet the requirements of being happy. It is crucial to do enjoyable things that keeps the atmosphere healthy, happy, and cheerful.

Happiness Needs No Accompany

Being sociable does not relate purely to happiness. Although meeting people and having social interactions trigger happiness in most cases, one can be happy without a companion. Alone-time is a completely different concept from isolation. Having some private time or alone-time not only allows one to have some 'quiet' thinking time, but also enables one to ask several questions about the things happening around them. Listening to classical music, planting trees, cooking, reading, and so many other activities are available for one to enjoy the time alone when friends and family members are not around.

The quickest way to happiness is optimism. Be a positive thinker and happiness will definitely come along the way. Whenever there is an obstacle, think of it as a challenge. This way, only the bell of happiness rings.

The Price of Hard Work

Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the task without realizing that the price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

The road to success is not easy to navigate, but with drive and passion, it's possible. It is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on your goal and keep taking the next step towards achieving it. If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better.

Enjoy your sweat because it doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance. I do not believe in excuses. I believe that it is the primary solution to life's problems. We all naturally want to become successful. It opens opportunities and shows the world that you are serious about being one of those peculiar human beings who use their talents at optimum level and do their very best. However, the moment we believe that success is determined by an a deep-seated level of ability as opposed to resilience, we will be vulnerable in the face of adversity.

Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. Most of the time you will fail, but you will also occasionally succeed. Those occasional successes make it worthwhile. In a lot of ways, success is much harder than we thought it would be.You'd get there and then everything would be happily ever after. But, it's almost harder once you're successful because you've got to maintain it.

Writing is work. It takes a lot of contemplation, concentration, and sweat. People are charmed with the idea that somehow writing is easy and appears by benefit of some mystical external force. In reality, to be a writer, you have to sit down and write. It's work, and often it's hard work.

I would rather have one article a day of this sort; and these ten or twenty lines might readily represent a whole day's hard work in the way of concentrated, intense thinking and revision rather than sit and do nothing productive.

It's shown and proved that working hard pays off. So,build your goals, achieve them and replace them with new goals. Even if there were moments when we were disappointed and frustrated.

This talks about how our hardwork pays off. Difficult but possible.

Give Up Negative Self-Talk to Go Up

Maria, was one of my first coaching clients. She powered through a Multiple Subject Credentialing program, but was stuck. In order to exit the program, she needed to pass a comprehensive exam. She failed three times. To Maria, it was an embarrassing failure, and she pledged to give up--to sit along the sidelines. She hadn't taken the test in a year and a half. She would have been content with her plan except the school district, for which she worked. started sending her letters-- the latest one gave her an ultimatum--Pass the examine by the end of the school year or find other work. At this point, I was called in.

One of the chief arenas people need transformation in is in how they view themselves. Maria, after three failures, branded herself an unintelligent failure. She felt she lacked the goods to finish her program and live her dream as a well paid teacher professional.

As you do regular autopsies in areas of your life, ask yourself: "How do I describe the events that happen in everyday life? Does your description move you toward your goals or does your discourse cause you to hesitate or even abort your plans?" How you describe things that happen to you in life determines the level of your success.

Letting go in this critical category entails you observe yourself frequently. What type of people do you draw to yourself? Are you satisfied with the people who surround you? Are they supporting the best self you're building? Or are they harsh, critical or foolish? What in you seeks such people out? What do you need to change in yourself to draw better quality people? How does self-talk affect your behavior? Does it keep your motivation red hot? Or do you struggle with procrastination? Have you been immobilized by critical voices that float through your head? Do these voices stir anxiety and fear within you? What would you be doing right now if you weren't immobilized? Skiing? Pursuing a better position at work? Opening yourself up to dating? Unplugging the cord that is plugged into past messages you absorbed from childhood is well worth your time. The quality of your relationships with yourself and others depend on it.

Many people find affirmations helpful, building self-esteem through acquiring skills is powerful, but a simple practice I call, "Refuting Self-Talk with Reality" has a profound ability to train your mind and emotions to overcome those little pesky gremlins in our head.

For example, with Maria, I had her regularly writing down the self-talk that loomed as I held her accountable for behavior that would help her pass the exam. She folded the paper in half on the left side of the journal entry an wrote one time, " I'm no good. How can I be so messed up? My son and daughter are depending on me to pass this exam. Will I fail them?"

I coached her to write realistic rebuttals to those thoughts. On the right hand she wrote, "Well, the truth is, I am cooperating with Rosalind. I put together a study group with other teachers who have yet to pass. We study every week.We are REALLY sharing our strengths. I have a couple of months before the test.Around them, I feel less stupid. Actually, I feel empowered. What I'm doing is better than sitting around doing nothing."

As with all training, Maria had to regularly take out pen and paper every time she was overcome with an intense barrage of negative self-talk.

It took time.
It too persistence.
However, she was willing to give up this false assessment of herself.

On the fourth try, she aced the exam.

If this is true for her, it is true for you. Pruning your negative self-talk, emotions and image of yourself is an important way to realize the best version of yourself.

Tony Robbins Tips On Changing The Way You Feel

Do You Know How Much Is Enough?

I'm sure we've all been to events of one kind or another where immediately the buffet is served one group of people jump up and start filling their plates to the brim, without any thought or consideration for niceties, other guests, or restraint.

In those situations there's a reasonable chance that if we don't quickly follow we'll be left hungry, as they'll often revisit several times to restock. The concept of 'enough' or 'too much' doesn't appear to enter their thoughts.

Then there are those people who always say 'yes' to whatever is asked of them, whether it be requests from work or to attend to the needs of family or friends. They never say 'no', are always available and yet are often tired, stressed out, and left with little time for themselves. It may be their personal preference as they thrive on being busy, would despair if they had time on their hands; but how much is enough to ask of someone?

Should we be psychic and intuitively pick up on the limits of another person's capacity to cope, or instead let good manners prevail, where we put ourselves in their shoes, assume when they're doing too much and second-guess their motivation? Giving money, time and effort to others can be an unremitting commitment, but if the person doing the giving says 'yes' why shouldn't we take them at their word? After all, they're an adult, it's their choice to say yes. It's their responsibility to vocalise what they want or need.

It may be, in fact, that they're genuinely happy to be involved and love being constantly on the go. Busyness may be a life-saver for them. Our insightfulness may be all well and good, but none of us can truly appreciate the workings of someone else's life or mind, or know when they're reaching their limits.

They may revel in being valuable and useful, define themselves through their service to others. Granted, they may have issues that need to be dealt with at some point, past experiences and insecurities that colour their confidence and outlook on life, but being busy can provide a buffer to life, giving time and distance for healing and readjustment. It can be a valuable alternative to seeing a therapist or doctor.

Boundaries are an important way of introducing two-way respect and pre-determining how much is enough. Both sides understand and appreciate that give and take should alternate, not be all one-way. There can be times in a relationship when one person wants or needs additional support, and that may be fine and offered with love. Family, financial, work, or health situations may be draining or stressful for them and support can be essential in order for them to continue managing and coping.

At another time the situation may reverse and it then becomes important to alternate the role of supporter, to reciprocate and give time, attention, advice, love or input where needed. There may not be a balance sheet which reconciles each person's contribution, but at the end of the day give and take often work out evenly distributed.

As a therapist, working in a caring profession means being aware of not over-stepping the mark and being pristine about boundaries. It's important to demonstrate care, interest and support, often through active listening and tailoring each piece of therapeutic work to be the most beneficial for each client session.

We must also recognise that our role is to provide a framework for the client to address their own particular issues, whilst refraining from becoming overly involved. No one can fully appreciate the layers that have contributed to each person's experience, how their different challenges have affected them, how emotionally invested they are in their situation. It's for them to discover what they need to work through to be able to move on from where they're at. That's why a therapist or adviser's role is to step back and encourage answers to questions like, 'what needs to happen for you to move forward from this?'

Answering 'how much is enough' is paying attention to how we personally feel, how much we're giving and taking, being aware of others but also checking that we're continuing to feel good about our input. Just as with the buffet, it's important to recognise that we don't exist in isolation. There are ongoing people and situations around us. No one is an island and just because some people don't push to the front of the queue doesn't necessarily mean that they're not hungry or in need of sustenance too.

Yes, it's their responsibility to take care of themselves and ask for what they want but being less self-absorbed and a little more alert to other peoples' presence allows everyone to have enough and enjoy their share of what's available.

Let's Talk About Love*

First understand this: Love is a frequency, not an emotion.

The fact that we have been programmed to believe that we are not complete without someone to love us (or even more dramatically, finding our so-called soul-mate) is the greatest deception and distraction of this modern era.

In fact, this concept-the necessity of having a partner in order to be in Love-is responsible for the disconnect we experience with regard to our own higher selves, and interferes with our ability to experience ourselves as the Love we are in fact.

***

We are one. All life is one. Everything that is, is one quantum, unified field. Within this oneness each component, each being, vibrates at its own signature frequency. We are like the members of a choir, each carrying a different note, contributing to the hopefully pleasing sound of the whole. But unfortunately, unlike a choir, as humans we do not vibrate in harmony-barely being harmonious within our own selves-and so the result of our dissonant and distorted vibrational toning is cacophonous and chaotic, with the consequence being all the ills we experience as individuals and society.

***

One of the analogies I use consistently is that of humanity being a single enormous body, with each of us being individual cells in that body. If we want to enlighten that collective body and create a more Loving environment on the planet, each of us must Lighten up our own cell and contribute that Light to the whole.

And that's where Love comes in: Love is the highest frequency there is and contains the greatest Light-why we often hear them linked together: Love & Light.

Love, the frequency, emanates from the heart-center-and if faithfully cultivated will be experienced ecstatically as it begins to fill in all the cracks where fear, sadness or disconnection dwell. That Love-frequency transforms everything it touches, and it will transform your life if you make it the focus of your attention.

"How do we do this?" you may ask.

One inspiring teacher** suggests a very simple process: close your eyes, place your hand (or hands) on your heart center and repeat "I Love You" over and over and over. You can also look in the mirror and do the same thing. You can sing it in the shower or in the car while driving; you can repeat it when you're going to sleep and first thing upon awakening. (I like to sing it and have created a ring tone-I hear it all day long)

One thing is for sure: if you do this simple little practice daily, and devotedly, in a very short period of time you will change the frequency in your body and energy field, begin to embody a higher vibration, and have an entirely transformed experience of life on Earth. And that's when the real fun begins- because joy arises in your heart and you start to affect those around you with the Loving vibe you carry.

***

For years now, as Valentine's Day approaches, I have been handing out hundreds of little reminders randomly on the street and in shops as I go about my day. Every year I choose a new graphic, but the message is always the same:

You ARE Love. Love yourself.

Take it to heart and see what happens.

*******

*I capitalize 'Love' when I speak of it as a frequency, as opposed to using the verb meaning "having great appreciation for." In the same way I capitalize Light when referring to the Cosmic Quality.

You Are Always at Choice - No Matter What It Looks Like

Over the years I've had more and I've had less.

I've had extreme highs and deep lows. Along with many ups, downs, bends, twists and turns. My life often felt as if I was on a large roller coaster in the middle of an amusement park wondering when this crazy ride would ever end.

As if someone else was in charge of the off button and that someone was not me. All was a blur as I was tossed about, out of control, dizzy, scared, and anxious.

Of all the rides in this amusement park called life, had I really picked this one?

Hadn't I always been afraid of roller coasters? Couldn't I have picked another safer ride?

So, what was I doing on this one? And, how would I get off?

Life is made up of many choices!

Some made consciously, and some not. Yet, as I look back on my life here on planet Earth, I see where many choices that I made brought me to my life as it is today.

It reminds me of the year I turned ten, my parents decided to pack up our lives in Wisconsin and move to California. Almost everything was sold, including our home in West Allis, leaving only a few items that were shipped via the mail to my paternal grandmother.

Left behind was my best friend, my bedroom on the second floor tucked away from the rest of the house, and the big, sprawling backyard with the huge weeping willow tree and the much used swing that I could soar high in the air - confident and assured.

Overnight, all that changed. Only a long, tedious car ride across the U.S. loomed ahead with endless stretches of blacktop and windy roads to endure.

The sight-seeing that my parents so loved, I did not. The hours spent in the car, were endless and too close for my much needed personal space and comfort.

I felt a sense of dread with all the unknown that stretched ahead.

If only I had known back then what took me until much later in life to comprehend. That I was an introvert and what I experienced and felt were the common emotions and reactions of an introvert.

Something that I thought was a fatal flaw in my personality. A flaw that often left me feeling ashamed and distraught.

Over the years I would wonder what was wrong with me? Why did I not jump in with glee and enjoy the experience? What made me hold back, withdraw, and be unsure?

Like the huge, rickety roller coaster on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk that everyone was so excited to ride, even my much younger brother who hopped right on with no fear - but not me.

So many emotions battled within me.

Wasn't it scary enough to be in a state in which I did not feel I belonged? Made fun of in school for my mode of dress, my tall lanky body, and my Wisconsin accent. And, now, it seems, I am expected to get on that monstrosity and call it fun?

NO THANK YOU!

This is how life unfolded for me. The hesitation to dive in. The long moments of assessment before I would participate. The cautiousness that always came before the enthusiasm or acceptance of what lay before me.

I would stand on the sidelines and watch. I would assess the safety of the environment, person, place, or thing before I would enter. Did I wish to make the effort to join in or would I just let it flow past without me?

What I have learned over my lifetime is that we all have choices and we come to decide which ones are a yes and which ones are a no for ourselves. No one else can successfully make those choices for us.

No one can assure us it is safe, fun, or what we are meant to experience, No one can say which is the right path, course of action, and which is not, except ourselves.

Life takes us on many rides. Some scary. Some enjoyable. Some we swear we never signed up for.

Yet, in every instance we are at choice.

Not always at choice whether to move or not, as with my 10-year old self. But, how we perceive it. How we remember it. How it will mold and form us.

For me, I have come to embrace and accept that aspect of me which hesitates, steps back, and assesses before I jump in. I know this is the way I "play" in life. Have I ever hesitated too long? Indeed, I have. And yet, even in this, the outcome was what I was meant to experience.

I look back on the journey my parents took us upon when we left everything we knew behind. What it took for them to give up the life they knew, for the one they did not. It took tremendous bravery and courage.

They forged ahead with the determination to make our lives better.

No matter what it looked like to others. They made a choice and off we went to a new land of opportunity, healthy living, and a lifestyle dramatically different than the one we left behind.

Taking along this introvert, often kicking and screaming, yet it is a journey I do not regret.

Your money-life does thrive in clear, open, tidy spaces. Yet, do you find you don't have any of those?

Maybe it's time for you to step back and assess the situation -- determine how you can free up space? After all, don't you deserve to have a lush, green money-life? No need to fret about money and no need to spend it needlessly on stuff that you do not use.

Don't know how to do that?

Going it alone can be scary.
It begins with simply asking for help.
So, Let's talk

Life Is Too Short To Care About What Other People Say

We cannot please everyone. So, why do we care? Let's live life to the fullest and have fun. At lease we give them something to talk about.

Reality check: It's not possible to meet up to everyone's expectations. There will always be people who will judge us no matter what we say or do, or how we treat them. It's inherent to human nature. In fact, we often worry what others think about us but it won't help us move on with life. It will just upset us and hinder our vision to see things in a clearer perspective.

Sometimes, we tend to settle on the status quo. We have a tendency to flip life just because of the things we do to please others, not as a result of what we believe. Eventually our actions become wrought by how we expect others to understand us. We cannot stop people from judging us but we can do something to lessen its impact on us.

Think about the worst factor that might presumably happen once somebody is judging you of what you are doing. I guarantee that nothing can happen. We may react for that matter but nobody really cares.

Start standing up for what you think in-causes, opinions, anything. you are going to possess those that ail you anyways, therefore why not specific however you really feel? I've learned that it's better to be cherished by a couple of folks you care regarding, than to be liked by everybody. These are family, friends, who love you for who you are, and also the folks that are going to be there for you throughout your worst times.

Worrying an excessive amount of concerning what others suppose will become a self-fulfilling prophecy, as a result of the means we predict starts to become the means we tend to behave. These people become people-pleasers and excessively accommodating to others, thinking it'll stop them from being judged. In fact, the public don't love push-overs and are turned off by it. The behavior we tend to use in an endeavor to please others will truly cause the opposing result. This implies that if you are a push-over, then you are going to be attracting others in your life WHO are also push-overs.

We tend to begin thinking that this is often the norm and that we stay comfy which is often not an area you wish to be. First and foremost, you wish to understand what is vital to you in life, what you actually worth, and what you are ultimately aiming for. Once you recognize who you actually are and what matters to you, what others think about you becomes nothing.

Stop saying YES to everything. Instead, learn to say NO and straighten your values.

Surround yourself with those who are self-assured and live life without comprising their core values.

How To Stay Happy When You At Work

Are you happy to go to work? Do you see your work as fun or a burden? How do you feel when you are about to go to work? Are you searching for tips to help you to be happy to go to work? Do not stress out; at the end of this article, you will be well-informed about how to be happy to go to work and stay happy when working.
First, you should realize that your state of mind has a direct impact on your attitude at work. And your work has a lot of influence on your mood. Given that, it is crucial that you find the right job or work that makes you happy. However, if you are not satisfied with your existing work, you need to find ways to be happy so that you will not feel burdened.

#1. See The Bigger Picture - The Work Is a Means to an End
You should have personal goals to achieve in your chosen career. To be seen as an experienced professional or worker in your chosen field, you must satisfy certain conditions such as years of experience and overall attitude to work.
Your work is undoubtedly one major way to climb specific ladders in your career. Consequently, you need to see your work as a means to achieve your career goals, and every passing day, you are getting closer to becoming an authority in your career.

#2. Change Your Attitude - Feel Fulfilled
Nothing can be more effective than changing your attitude about your work. While other people, including you, view your work as being overly tasking and boring, see your work as exciting and fun. Picture the complicated processes in your work as a puzzle game and gift yourself a trophy or prize when you finish each day's work completing your duty - like a cup of cappuccino.

#3. Embrace Co-workers - You Are Not Competitors But Partners
Irrespective of the attitude of your co-workers, you need to embrace them to be happy at work. You are meant to complement one another and achieve the organizational goals together. And you need them to meet your targets and deliver expected goals. You are partners; find a reason to like each one of your colleagues.

#4. Find a Reason to be Proud of Your Work
If you are not proud of your company, you certainly will not be happy to go to work. Instead, jot down what you do like about your company and find what your company stands for in your field. Be a part of something that your company does that makes you happy, then you will always be happy to go to work.

Let Yourself Shine

Day in and day out, you are connecting with family, friends, co-workers, service professionals and strangers. In these connections lies the opportunity to create a positive impact upon your life and that of the other person. Whether you verbally engage, or silently brush by, you have the chance to let yourself shine! What message do you silently convey to the people on your path? Are you pleased with the energy you leave behind?

You cannot control how others receive your words or body language, but you can become self-aware, and exercise control over yourself from a place of awareness.

I recently had the best time holding my little great-nephew. He is 3 months old and a joy to snuggle. His head fit against my chest while his feet curled up in the palm of my hands. While I was holding him, I instinctively walked, bounced and cooed in order to engage with him in a manner that felt good for him. At the same time, I was on cloud-nine, feeling wonderful about our interaction.

I know the next run-in with your boss may not be as magical as holding a precious infant, but you can elect to put your attention upon your behavior - your words and body language, and feel excellent about them. Since you cannot control your boss, stay clear minded about your response to her. Imagine you are tending to a baby. Your instincts would be nurturing, gentle and thoughtful. Now imagine you are that innocent baby and you want to be so careful so as not to be harsh with her. With this gentleness in place, tune in to your words, gestures, eye-contact, and facial expressions. Let yourself shine and see how events unfold in a positive manner.

When you are self-aware and representing your best self to all who cross your path, you are living your best life. Sometimes we must rely upon our reserves - strength we have developed in the past that when called upon, will serve us now. Other times we will come up with creative solutions in the moment. When you are self-aware and allow your light to shine you will leave behind your glow with those on your path, and you will take that glow onward with you.

Are you ready to get clear about the outcomes you desire yet are worried about what obstacles are in the way? Maybe you have an opportunity, but are not certain about what your options are. Coaching is an opportunity to explore Outcomes - Obstacles - Options - and Opportunities.

You know the outcome you want. Obstacles are in the way. Namely, fear. Ready for the work you love, peaceful parenting, vibrant health, happy relationships? Contact Carla for your Breakthrough Session: carla@getcoached.com
