How To Turn Pain Into Passion

"I believe in more than one way we are channels for God and co-creators. That we are instruments of the music we call life. Some of us are in harmony with everything. 

Those some are at peace, they are healed and in aliment with their song, their passion and purpose. 

While others are out of tune, in disharmony, in pain because of the things they faced or refuse to face.

They allowed life to strike a bad cord and now caught playing the same sad song. They are out of balance and to make sense of it all would take time from paying the bills, taking care of their children or whatever excuse distracts them from getting them back in harmony.

“How To Turn Pain To Passion” will get you in harmony. It will cleans your spirit, your soul the main things that can’t continue to be ignored.

7 simple steps are all it can take."

We Die

We Die

Our bodies will “fail” us. We will “fail” our bodies. Or a sudden incident or accident will occur and then we leave behind this world. I believe what happens next is what we strongly believe. Creation is continued. But what are we doing before this grand wake up call?

I came more alive when I heard Bob Proctor say “Most people tip toe through life, hoping to make it safely to death!” Is that what you’re doing, tip toeing?

Another great quote I heard from another great man, Les Brown, “The richest place in the world is not the Middle East, nor is this place in South Africa where there is a plethora of diamond mines. The richest place in the world is a cemetery, for there you will find books that were never written, songs that were never sung. There you will find ideas that were never acted upon—dreams that were long forgotten.”

I think that there are great motivators in life, death is one of them. Near death experiences, from experience, has knocked real long lasting change in people. What better to do and “go for it” then live lifeless; safe…. comfortable. Bob Proctor, in the same seminar, goes to say “The comfort zone is a dangerous place to be in.”

I can vouch for that first hand. I remember being so comfortable in my situations, whether work or outside life that I didn’t explore, I didn’t live. Everyday was redundant. I wasn’t happy with who I was or with what I was doing. I felt dead.

Most of us are not living. Most of us are dead even before physical death. We fail to search within, to ask the question & seek answers, and we live with emotional unsettled issues that drain us. We drag our feet to work, through life.

I believe you have the answers to freeing yourself of man made fear. I believe you can muster up enough courage to live out a dream. Express and demand the emotional support needed to live a fulfilled life. I believe an awareness of “we die” will wake you up. Want you, to want to live again. Then you can die a good death of old habits, reactions, and mind. Maybe even live through your heart, it has a greater GPS system to guide you to your dreams.

We die but we can choose to live: full, free, empty, here and now. You have that power to make that choice. So today, what will you choose?

Switching Negatives to Positive Thinking Thoughts

Switching Negatives to Positive Thinking Thoughts

I have found that the mind will automatically focus on the negative of a situation verses the positive. That is, if you don’t steer your mind you will get caught in the current of a negative thinking and the emotions that follow.


Les Brown said in Live Full and Die Empty that “life is a fight for territory”. I didn’t want to believe nor understand what he was saying until now. I have had my heavenly highs of happiness and success but there have been moments after I thought I could let go of the steering wheel. I thought I put in enough work and direction to hit “shore” smoothly. I was wrong but we can’t predict the weather, nor can we assume that rain or any crazy storm is out to “get us”.

When caught in the storm switching negative to positive thinking thoughts and holding on firmly will get your through.

In the same seminar Les Brown goes on to say, “When bad things happen, why say why me [lol]. Why not you? Who better?” With that, I say we take things to heart when we feel we deserve better.  We do, but don’t personalize your experience as if no one goes through them.

That is why most throw themselves a pity party. Sorry, boo hate to break it to you but we all go through things! It may actually hurt less to know you are not alone. But getting out of the “why me” and switching negative to positive thinking thoughts will shift what you don’t want to experience to what you do.


I will end it with this; we must “fight” to stay positive, NO MATTER WHAT!  We must “fight” to direct our emotions so we don’t drown in them.  We must “fight” until we have reached our goals and persist. We must “fight” and believe that positive thinking thoughts will get us through.


We will arrive at our per-determined destination when we also learn to learn as well as grow. Learning to learn will also switch the light from negative to positive. Whatever your going through it, whenever your going through it, it is happening for reason. You can’t see it right now, you can’t see it when your going thought it but I am sure when your past it, when you can reflect on the past mistakes or mishaps you can find wisdom.

Wisdom that you can pass down, wisdom that you can offer another, wisdom that you can take and apply at the right time that will allow you to avoid the fight, the storm.


What have you been through that you gained wisdom from? What are you going through right now that you can find a lesson to be learned? Is it hard for you to switch negatives to positive thinking thoughts?


I would like to hear your stories…I would love to read your wisdom…share below.

Positive Self Talk - (REPOST) Archive

Positive Self Talk -

How you talk to yourself is more important than you can imagine. What you feel the world is withholding from you, you have the power to change it. Right now! Go to the mirror and acknowledge all you’ve done. Do it daily. Say things you’ve been waiting for someone to say. Start with, “I love you.” Or “I am beautiful.”


Jack Canfield (The Secret & Self Help Best Selling Author) spends time in the mirror acknowledging and encouraging himself, so why can’t you? You will find that becoming a better friend to yourself, you can be a better friend to the world.


How much negativity in put downs and let downs do you deal with?


How hard are you on yourself, hoping to get things right?


Well, positive self talk will shift your energy and inner dialog! You will strengthen that small voice of courage and self-esteem. 

The difference between who you are and where you’re at is what you’re telling yourself and what you believe. And a belief is just something you say over and over again.


You can use positive self talk with affirmation to create your perfect self.
 

Creating your perfect self:


Much like the list I have for my perfect man, I have one for my perfect self. I drew my list from my past experience of likes and dislikes from people. Funny thing is that’s what life truly is about; molding and sculpting yourself from all walks of life-to choose over and over what you want and what you don’t. Most focus too much on the dislikes and what they hate that they don’t see the deep underlying purpose.


I consistently and consciously take the good from the bad. It gives me much peace of mind. I then turn it into creating an even better outlook, so I can be aware of them now in my experiences.

All things exist here and now, just at your level of awareness, which is guided by your focus. Focus on your list of your new self and build an image that your subconscious must respond too.

Start with I am_______.


List positive characteristics & attributes of people you admire.


You will start to notice you all ready carry some but with all the negative not positive self talk, like a sun shine coming out of the clouds, it will now be easier to see. With positive self talk you can amplify your awareness by your focus & attention on it.


Positive self talk, self-image and self-esteem is also essential to success in all areas.

For people respond to how you carry yourself and how you carry yourself is from how you see yourself.

Self Help Daily

Self Help Daily

We need it. Just like we need some fruits and veggies, we need a dose of self help daily. I don't go a day without it. Self help daily keeps me at peace and in positive emotional state of mind.

I used to internalize so many negative things. I would even feel a little down or off or over emotional about small things. But when I started my self help daily regimen the same things that would normally effect me, don't. I am more at ease, more in aliment and more creative, more open even more giving.

I no longer make mountains of a molehills.

I walk away from confrontations and they no longer sit in my mind. People say don't let someone rent space in your mind. But let me ask you, how easy is that to do? Let me tell you this- giving yourself a dose of self help daily will change that.

How, you ask?

There is a saying:

An American Indian elder described his own inner struggles this way: "Inside of me there two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time." When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, "The one I feed the most."

See, what is going on inside of us is what we feed ourselves. An what is going outside ourselves is a reflection on how we feel. Also when you are at a positive state of mind more things just roll of your back.

Now, how much time throughout your day you are focusing or feed yourself something negative?

Self help daily is not about needing help. Its about feeding yourself something positive. It's about strengthening and sharpening yourself.  It's about reminding yourself of the good that is in you and outside you.

 

What you feed yourself, you become more of. When you become a more positive powerful person more positive things happen.

So make us, this blog your home. Come get your daily dose!

How to Find and Live Your Passion

How to Find and Live Your Passion

One of my earliest passions was poetry. I would do it without acknowledgement. I’d rarely share but when I did it was purely for pleasure. It was something quite like an escape from the world. I would dig deep, draw from experiences or observations and pour from the strongest emotions. I could write for hours. It healed so much in my life to have that type of release it later encouraged me to turn it into a book so others could experience the same.

I believe it has now evolved into the writing and work I am doing today.

I am sharing so you see when you know or desire to find your passion there are something’s to help you become aware:

-Is it something you’d do for free?
-Or what would you do for free if you had all the time in the world?
-Does it feel like work when you do it?
-Or what do you do that doesn’t feel like work?
-Better yet what do you love to do?
-Is it something that feels natural?
-Does hours seem like minutes doing it?

Recognizing your passion and applying it to your career is the greatest thing you could ever do and offer the world. I have never heard of a passionate person hating their job but above that they are the most successful people I could ever have learned from.

Don’t think for a second your profession has to be a cookie cut job. Everyday I am wowed by the amount of people successful with out a drop of formal education in their field: Les Brown, Tony Robbins & Bob Proctor to name a few.

Above all happiness, fulfillment, joy and a greater connection to your purpose are wrapped up in your passions.

“True masters are those who’ve chosen to make a life rather than a living.”  Neale Donald Walsch

Its funny how many people I’d ask if money wasn’t an option what would you do and the answer is never what they are currently doing…

It also funny because I was them and the toughest thing I could ever do was to give up everything to get out of the fears crippling me to begin again & whole heartily live. Working my job although “promising” felt like a death sentences something in me was dyeing, I felt it. I would look around and rarely inside me to find out what was wrong. But deep down I knew.

I became alive when I began my writing career and nothing can replace the feeling of inspired writing. I also live my dharma when coaching because I love knowing I made a difference in someone’s life.

I say perfect your passion, draw from that incredible energy and take it to the next level. It makes life truly vibrant.

With Love,

How to Find and Live Your Passion

Quote

It doesn't have to be like this....Poem

In my heart there was pain. I looked up and there was rain. A cloud of confusion hovered over me. At a time it was all I could see....and something deep within whispered...it doesn't have to be like this.

So began to I healed my heart and the dark disappeared. Light began to shine and it drove away my fears. Some clouds still l lurked so I learned to forgive. For those I allowed to hurt me and me for having not lived.

A letter from "God" (RE-POST)

Dear One, 

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively, but I say "No." 

Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being alone, with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, will you be ready to have the intensely personal and unique relationship that I have planned for you.

You will never be united with anyone or anything else until you are united with Me. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and start allowing Me to give you the most thrilling plan in existence - one that you cannot even imagine. I want you to have the best. Please, allow Me to bring it to you. 

You must keep watching Me expecting the greatest of things. Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM. Keep listening and learning the things that I will tell you. Just wait. That's all. Don't be anxious. Don't worry. 

Don't look around at the things others have or that I have given them. Don't look at the things you think you want. Just keep looking up to Me or you will miss what I want to show you. And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you have dreamed of. 

You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working even at this moment to have you both ready at the same time), until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me. This is Perfect Love. 

And Dear One, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, a love that I offer. Know that I love you utterly. Believe that and be satisfied.

Love,

God


This is from a email I received from Ariella Ford, Author of "Wabi Sabi Love". She received  a copy of this letter 20 years ago when she was single and it inspired her so she shared it with "me". Now, I am sharing it with you. Pass it on if you are inspired as well. :)

Happy Valentines Day

a letter from God

Judgmental People

Judgmental People  

It came to me to write about judgmental people . Because of the damage it causes not only to the person being judge but the person judging. Judgment is a very negative behavior. Judgmental people are very common in my (Ethiopian) community. 

Now, if more positive encouragement were carried in conversations the dynamic of the relationships between each other would shift. Not just within adults, with young adults and teens.

Most conversation between the young and elders is more of an interrogation. It almost like the conversation is used to shine a light on a weakness or insecurity.  A casual hello could turn into: marriage, weight, education etc.. 

Most conversation between most adults in our community is gossip. What so and so is doing with their life, how bad someone is etc…

But there wouldn't be as many judgmental people if we educated ourselves about the power our tongue. 

If more judgmental people knew  how powerful words are they wouldn't dare waste a word focusing on the negatives. Or talk about someone negatively.

Karma is not physical. What I mean, it is not just about what you do. Karma is energy it’s the energy you project into the world that comes back you. Gossip and judgment carry negative energies.

Now much of my talk is positive BUT negatives can serve some. Some negative feedback and comments I’ve encountered has driven me to accomplishment. Some comments drive me up a wall! But when that happens I think this: 

Judge those who judge you makes you no better than them. 

Yes, it is all-relative.  

But the destruction and damage it can cause some who has not developed thick skin can lead them down a path of low self-esteem, defensive behaviors and self-sabotage. In return those who caused/contribute to it, haven’t or won’t amount too much either.

I believe it is better to lead by example then to impose your will on another that might affect them negatively.

In conversations focusing on the positive will serve the one speaking as well as the one spoken to or about. 

Judgmental People: You have the power to uplift or nit pick. You have the power to brighten or dim someone’s day. You hold that power with judgment or encouragement. 

Choose well. 

With Love, 

judgmental people

Procrastination

Procrastination 

Hunger, drive and determination can kill procrastination but for those who don’t have the energy or the will you have to start with acceptance.

Accept that you procrastinate. Recognizing that you do procrastinate is the 1st step to really start making moves. Give yourself a pat on the back!
So now that you recognize it, accept yourself in any given moment you feel like your not doing enough or anything at all.

I know this from experience, from deep learning and teaching.

Now you can either beat yourself up and feed the energy of procrastination or accept it. Acceptance will free the mind of the self-hate chatter that is keeping you going in circles.

Now that is the 2nd step. 3rd step is healing and feeding your mind with positive messages consistently. Yes, letting go of the past(healing) self-Help & personal development is going to break you through to accomplishing whatever you feel you been putting of.

Healing clears the past. The past can be like mental weights draining vital energy to accomplishing your goals.

Self help and personal development books or audio feeds you positive energy to get you moving. For instance you can’t listen to self-defeating thoughts and expect to move. Just like you can’t listen to slow music and expect to JAM. Put on some feel good audio’s and get to work!

See more progress on: stop procrastinating

The Wisdom Within

The Wisdom Within

If you’ve been around the self help block you would be familiar with the term “inner voice.” This voice, to brief you, is your internal guidance system, your intuition & your true self. It’s ageless, intelligent and formless. It sometimes speaks to you through

feelings. I am sure you can recall someone or yourself saying,“Something told me I shouldn’t have XYZ.” “I had a feeling I should have X, Y, Z.” I refer to it as the “wisdom within”.

“Changing The Face of Wisdom” the title of my eBook & website spawned from that voice. There was a time I had so much static between “wisdom” and I couldn’t understand the directions it would give me. I would struggle with the depth of insights I would receive because a lot of my actions and who I thought I was on the surface contradicted themselves. Therefore I had to “[Change] the Face of Wisdom”.

Wow, now looking back I can’t believe how long my journey was, how long it took me to settle into what I “felt” I was meant to do. In so many ways I resisted my gifts, my “greatness”. One of Les Brown slogans is “You have greatness within you”. I would get emotional listening to him because my belief in myself was so minimal. I also recalled him saying that it took him years before he thought he could get on a stage, and how he would talk himself out of doing what he is doing now.

I wonder what you’re talking yourself out of doing?

Every time I move towards my true goals, accomplish them and even fail I always find a new found respect for those who succeed before and after me. I say that because the most difficult thing to do in life is overcome “yourself”. On this journey it seems, sometimes you have to betray yourself and all the thoughts of limitation accumulated in life and begin to listen to the wisdom within.

The wisdom within does not just guide you in and out of trouble.

 

It is always communicating with you in some form but only to the extent of your awareness of it. There are also some layers, static that must be removed to clearly hear it.

If you want to know more about clearing the static, uncovering your true self, tapping into your greatness & gifts, contact me to learn about my workshops & coaching programs.

What is a balanced life? - Out of our Archive June 2010

What is a balanced life? 

 A balanced life involves positive emotions, a clear vision of goals, and a core foundation of family or friends that love and support you. Emotions can either be the seeds of positive growth or the weeds of self-destruction. Running on negative emotions is like filling your car with used motor oil and expecting it to run at its best. Practicing forgiveness (ho’popolo), tapping (www.thetappingsolution.com) and/or meditation is like giving your body an oil-changed and yanking the weeds out by the root.   

I personally do these things and it has changed my productivity, my attitude and automatically changed my thinking.  It was 1 million times easier to be positive after my inner cleansing.  You see, how can you expect the best when your body is carrying all that hurt from when you got the worst—all that luggage can’t come on THIS stand-by flight. When you’re ready pack light and bring only what you need. Only then will your life will take off….Next stop a clear vision of goals.  The more clear your goal the less time it takes to get it. You can tame a lion with a four legged stool because he cannot focus on a particular leg.  As a result, they stand frozen. Unfortunately, the same can happen to us when we try to focus on too many things—we freeze, or we might focus on the wrong things. 

So choose your goals wisely.  It can promote greater action for a balanced life. Now you cannot share your goals and dreams with everyone.  I suggest if you don’t have a support group find one or share with a dreamer.  It’s so uplifting to share with someone as equally driven or positive.  Otherwise, anyone can cause you to doubt yourself and your mind does that enough for you (if you know what I mean).  So talk to the people who love who will support them every day.

The Why's That Makes Me Fly

The Why's that makes me Fly

For 2 years of my life I worked at a spiritually defeating “real job.” I stayed to say, “I could do it" to myself & family. Prior to that position, I didn’t “have to work”. I had money that came to me from 3 different sources and anything I did outside of it was pocket change. I was never satisfied with what I was doing.

 I grew restless with modeling, bartending, assisting & “living”. Needless to say I took it for granted. Not that I was a brat, it’s was just that I couldn’t appreciate because I didn’t know what to do with my life. My understanding of passion & purpose was minimal. I was lost & confused.

I wanted to be a photographer but you couldn’t get me in a class.

When I was modeling opportunities came but you couldn’t get me in the gym. 

When I was up for managing positions in my self defeating career I’d self-sabotage with some drama.

The list goes on....SMH

There was a time you couldn’t pay me to be “positive”. Victim was my middle name. It was them, her, this or that. To why I couldn't be happy.

Most people couldn't even see who I really was because I was conflicted with my false identify & my real self. I couldn’t even show my true self because I couldn’t see the “real me” in them.  I am a rare breed (lol).

Deep down I was drowning my inner voice & wisdom. I do it when I can’t see the full picture. When I don’t Trust, Believe & know that I have Family, Love & real Dreams that can be realized. I had to get it tattooed on my wrist so I wouldn’t forget.

I am into self-help, personal development and writing about it because if not I would not pursue anything outside the norm of what is expected of me. I grew up around you are nothing without education. And yet with no formal education, I am published several times. 

I am even working on a book proposal now.

I don’t force my writing because I am inspired to write.

It is always effortless.

I enjoy it immensely.

It feels like I make beautiful art with it like I did when I wrote poems.

I love sharing things that could help someone in some way.

It is my gift to convey things from a level of understanding that we all have but don’t tap into as much.

We all have something to give, a gift from source to be given. It heals your life when instrumented. Use it or life will seem useless, lifeless.

~Opportunities will come that will require both your left (calculated) & right(creative)  brain. And I am learning now to be a lefty (lol). Business & Beauty!~

Find that voice. Find that inner dreamer. Find your Passion. Better yet uncover it.

Those are my WHY's that makes me FLY!

The Wisdom in Our Hearts

The Wisdom in Our Hearts

I can feel the truth of why I can’t have certain things when I want it, be it love of a man or material positions. I have this knowing that it’s not him, that “he’s not the one” or that it’s not time.

But the childlike mind wins with “I want it anyways!”

I go after it, receive and I learn the hard way.

The biggest lesson I learned is that no- thing, nor no person will bring me (long lasting) happiness. (Also what may bring another happiness may not bring me.) Especially, prematurely.

How many times have you been there? Where you could look back and say something told me he or it ain’t right. But we proceed without caution.

I believe we will always posses all three: the women, the girl and the child/baby. (the man, the boy & the…) Our intuition can only go as far as we listen to it. But if we only listen to the women, the girl or the…it will either guide us to greater discovery or destruction.

Our heart is the greatest gift of all; it carries far more wisdom than our feelings that could either grow beautifully, die softly and/or make us suffer hard.

But we want what we want when we want it!

And with all of me I say: sit down!

(God/Universe may have something for you or someone greater…)

Grow an understanding between your heart, mind & feelings about your innermost desires. This is essential to create harmony within & to uncover your TRUE desires with long lasting fulfillment!

Whether it be:

Your career

Your relationships

Your loneliness

Now of these three:

Your Heart

Your Mind

Your Soul

Bring them into a meeting and have a full discussion.

Weird, right? But dammit, if you’ve been hitting a wall, you’re not listening to your inner voice.

It’s time to sit down and figure YOU out!

Within you it’s in fact “figured out”- I know I am contradicting myself….but…

Deep down…

You know, like, you know that, you know more than you know. It’s in you, real deep.

To begin to uncover this knowing, the wisdom in your heart…

Start with putting your hand on your heart and say, “I’m going to listen to you more” or just sit with your hand on your heart and quietly reflect.

Let no man, no woman….not society, not your circumstances tell you what’s possible, what you are meant to do, what you are capable of or what’s going to make YOU happy. Only you know…to the extent you are willing to listen, learn and love.

With Love,
