Becoming Deep...

Recently, I found myself in the midst of total chaos. I have a to-do list from hell and a whole slew of projects on my desktop, just waiting to be completed. In the middle of all this, I'm working my day job and building my coaching clientele from referrals. I'm pooped today.

My dream is to be a full-time coach, teacher and writer while making a fortune. My desire is to support myself and my partner completely as a teacher, coach and writer. This is my dream, but in the meantime, as I transition into this phase of my life, I need to sustain myself and that's what becoming deep is all about. How can I eliminate the fluff and get to the essentials?

How can I sustain myself as I work towards a better tomorrow? How can I, today, set it up so that in a year from now, I'm full-time, living my genius and inspiring others to do the same, all the while getting paid a fortune to do so?

I feel wide today, I would even go as far to say thin. And now, it is time for me to go deep. And that is my invitation for you too: What are you needing to delete, delegate or develop in your life? What incompletes do you have laying around the house, on your computer, or in your heart? Don't you think it's time to get deep, to clean house for good?

This week, this is what I'm doing. I'm taking fun on the road inward, on a journey to financial freedom while living fully in my genius, doing the things I love to do. But of course, this journey takes time, so today, I'm writing my game-plan. I'm completing my to-do list, getting current with all the people and projects in my life and stepping on the train to the life of my dreams... one check mark at a time.

Today, do something different: Take some time out for yourself to consider doing the same. Isn't it about time?

Remaining Loving... no matter what!

Are you ready to take the biggest step towards enjoying a fulfilling life?

Recently I've come upon, what I see as the greatest lesson of all: To remain loving in the face of fear. I discovered this treasure in relationship, but of course, like most life lessons, it applies across the board. Here's the question:

How can you remain loving in the face of your biggest fears?

As you might know, I have a passion for relationships. I think they're fascinating, but sometimes, I'm a bit obsessive and get off track of my intended goal: To enjoy a genuine, conscious, loving and fun relationship with my partner. I get more wrapped up in the details, than that fact that we both want to be together and we're willing to go the distance to find paradise, hand in hand.

So, in the midst of everyday routine and emotional roller coaster, how do you find a stable ground to stand on in relating? You start with love, combined with understanding and compassion. Now, it might sound simple, but in many ways it really is. Whether in relationship to your partner, your job, money, other people or yourself, finding that place in yourself where love exist will give you a foundation to stand on, relate from and use as example, when wanting others to do the same.

I think we could discuss this "problem to solve" for hours, looking at it from many angles, but in the meantime, while life is happening, the important question to be asking: How can I remain loving in the face of fear? My own and others? How can I stay with myself, when I feel abandoned, betrayed or wanting to throw in the towel?

Today, begin with loving yourself. Find that place inside you where you can celebrate who you are, what you've created in your life, and relate to the world from there. Be willing to be surprised how much your partner and life will be more of what you want to enjoy.

I Commit To Being Happy!

Recently, I keep getting this non-stop feedback, I'm not happy with some certain things in my life. Shock, I know, but at first, it was subtle. A sort of whisper about my current situation, but now it's a loud, "wake up!" I have been running around, now, for a couple of weeks, looking for a "good" day-job. You know, the sort of 9-5, with freedom to come and go whenever and making the right amount of money that satisfy your needs?

Well, if not, let me tell you, the first step was taking 100% responsibility for my finances and life. I woke up one day and realized, I'm not on the path I want to be on, I'm not making money in a way that feels good, anymore. So, I'm back to the "daily-grind," looking for work in all the wrong places. But are they?

I would have to say, "yes" and "no." A job is a job, despite how you look at it, but a dream is a dream and making your dreams come true requires a good foundation to work from. I've been living the lifestyle of a rockstar without the record label to back me up. Call me a natural, but ultimately, this week I realized there's more to life than work and money. I've been looking for a job to make me happy, to get my ends met and fuel the career of my dreams. However, I've been doing way to much "doing" and not very much "being."

Today, I commit to being happy.

Today, I commit being happy, so that when I do get a day job, I have things in perspective. My job isn't my life source, I am. The money I make isn't my happiness, I am. Therefore, as I go to my day job, continue to work on the release of my new book and set course to enjoying the life of my dreams, I'm very well prepared by starting today. I commit to being happy!

First and foremost, everything else comes next.

Does All That Personal Development Pay Off?

Recently, a friend of a friend coined me as a "New Age Nightmare." At first, I felt sad and went to my usual place of "I'm not enough... I need more self-help to improve upon my current character." Well... that's a little exaggerated, but I did take his comment as feedback. Am I really caught up in a world of illusion, like Disneyland, where fun is only a choice away?

As I thought about this... my first response was, "I am creating the life of my dreams!" Yes, I have to admit, sometimes I get a little obsessive about my own personal development, but at the end of the day, are my results showing my hard work is paying off?

In the last two weeks, I can see how 3-years of intense inner-work is starting to pay off. From stepping more fully in my role with LifeWorks to enjoying a conscious, loving relationship with a man I adore, who adores me... looks like I'm doing pretty good. Considering where I was over 3-year ago, I've come a long way, but only until recently have I see physical matches to my inner change.

So, my dear reader... where have you not given yourself enough credit that you're very well on your way to the success of your liking? Where have you, maybe, gotten off track from your vision and life dreams?

Try it on, be willing to give yourself a chance at actually creating what you really want. From experience, looks like a nightmare can be transformed into living the life of your dreams! Choose again.

Spirit Gives Life.

(Check out this Quote:)

We live in a world of form and when you're in the world of form, you get in "form"ation. When you're in the world of Spirit you get inspiration. When you are inspired (in spirit) by some great purpose or some extraordinary project, your consciousness expands in every direction. By moving into inspiration, you can activate dormant forces and make them work for you. When you're inspired, everything works. You don't get tired, you don't get hungry, you don't worry about money, or you don't think about what's going to happen tomorrow. So becoming inspired is probably the most important thing you can do. The way that you do it is you look at the world of form, and all the things around you and you say, where did all of this come from? It all came from the world of inspiration. It's spirit that gives life.

So may you and I be inspired!
