I am having the most amazing experience in the midst of world turmoil. I can only feel Love; it keeps radiating through me and in me and it is the most amazing sensation. When we are in the NOW with love for ourselves and love for others nothing can stop us. Love makes us feel like eagles, soaring in the sky, invincible and free.
Growing up, I did not always feel loved and I know how painful it is to not feel loved. As I got older I learned that the love I thought I had missed out on had always been with me, it rested inside of me. I simply needed to learn how to truly love myself so I made a choice to no longer rest in the lower levels of consciousness and I began seeking a higher truth and learned to forgive and let go of anger. This is when Love began to make itself visible in my life. I learned by observation as well as trial and error that I could choose to either be a victim or an owner of my life and destiny. Steve Chandler is an amazing coach and author who teaches about Fear vs. Love and about being a Victim vs. an Owner in ones life and I learned a lot from him.
It might very well have been easier (at first) to play the victim, blaming others for the gaping hole in my soul, sitting around, waiting for someone else to show me my own worth. But, that would have meant I would still be waiting so I chose to take a different route.
Intrinsically, we all know our value and when we let go of anger, fear and judgment we begin to see ourselves as the magnificent beings that we are. Actually, we start seeing everyone in that same way. Out of the billions of people that live on our planet no two are alike. No other human being is like you, not in appearance, skills, traits, though, passion, gifts and talents. How magnificent is that? We are all so wonderfully unique and beautiful. How could anyone but you know and be able to tell you how spectacular you truly are?
Innately, all of us know our true value but our ego, when young and immature, may have been wounded and hurt, and it clouded its inner wonder with grief and fear. It is your obligation as a mature person to take your inner child into your safe arms, comfort it and show that child how it grew up to become a magnificent, hopeful and loving person. When we love ourselves, we heal, and we love others, and feel how genuinely we are loved by Creation.
The Creator loves you and wants you to become all of which you were designed to be. It wants you to live up to your full potential and excel. Creation designed us in its own image, embedded with the gift of creativity. We were given freedom of choice yet the Creator knows what we are capable of creating, and wants us to use our creativity wisely and lovingly.
You are an important cell in the body of humanity. If you can design yourself to be and become all you ever wanted to be, and be a being that makes a REAL difference… what would you create? What wonder and magic can YOU and only YOU bring to the world?

Levels of Consciousness
Anyone can travel the path towards enlightenment. It can be as easy as a decision. We are powerful beings, gifted with countless opportunities and the ability to make countless choices. Why not choose to transcend our spirits to higher levels of consciousness?
The levels of consciousness are sometimes referred to and in the order as follows; shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, pride, courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, and enlightenment. Where is your consciousness at this moment? And, where would you like to be. Where are you choosing to go from here?

Paradigm Shift - Humans are Changing
I am still witnessing a lot of fear out there so I feel inclined to address it once again. Why bother fearing the worst? Fear is so dull and uncreative.
I have heard a few people state that mankind is destined to self-destruct. And, yes, it is true that we do not have the greatest track record on how we have treated one another and our precious planet. But, there is definitely hope for us still. Humankind keeps evolving and changing for the better and YOU are a part of that change. While some of us may resist and remain dwelling in humanity’s lower levels of consciousness many more will awaken from slumber and find the true meaning of life. At this very moment, in the midst of global turmoil, and financial setbacks we are progressively evolving and being lifted towards light and peace. A paradigm shift is taking place right before our eyes. No matter how we may try and resist, we are destined to become the beings we were designed to be; loving, joyous and peaceful.
Many can feel how they are changing at the core of their beings and may feel unsure on how to deal with these transformations. Rest assured, you are not going crazy but may be releasing the burdens of your ego. Let go of fear and embrace uncertainty knowing that you are being guided towards a brighter tomorrow. In a way you might actually be the prototype for what is to come, the new mankind, eternally joyous, loving and peaceful.
When we finally stop resisting and accept change in an open and loving manner our prior fears seem distant and irrelevant and we allow ourselves to open up and embrace this divine process. Eventually, all of mankind will be fully transformed to collectively rest in the highest levels of consciousness, and the world will be a glorious place filled with love, joy and peace that radiates to and from every living being.
The first step is for YOU and all of us to visualize this and then create it into existence.

Change your mind, and you change the world.
It may seem as if it is very bad “out there” right now. Our global financial system, which we previously took for granted is standing on wobbly feet. The perceptions and expectations we had now seem naïve and unrealistic and fear and panic is spreading across the world.
Choose to not get caught in the grips of fear. We are making this out to be far more serious than it really is. Acknowledge that your beautifully creative mind is capable of making everything seem so horrendous and horrific that it can absolutely scare itself to the core. What we are witnessing right now are fearful people creating fearful actions. Choose to not join their party and instead create your own. Invite your positive friends to join you. When fear gets a hold of people their irrational actions can create their worst nightmares into existence. So take charge and conquer fear!
Breathe, exhale, calm your mind, and find your center with its infinite truth and serenity. The worst thing that can happen to you is a thought. Catch your negative thoughts and turn them around. Your thoughts are very powerful when you believe them. They can cripple you in fear and anxiety or they can drive you to excel and transcend boundaries. What do you want to be thinking?
What reasons do you have to be fearful? You are actually watching an exciting time in history, a major paradigm shift in the making and YOU are witnessing it and participating in it. Let people say that this is the beginning of the end as it is end to a sad and greedy period in human history and the beginning of a brighter and more loving world. You are as free as ever to simply open up and be your spectacular authentic self. Let that authentic self be a creative, courageous and caring creature.
Let us not waste our creativity on finding someone to blame. Let us unite and help each other. Support each other. Accept and love each other. Let us collectively collaborate and open up to one another. The human mind is capable of spectacular creations. Let us feel our connectedness. We are all here together as ONE.
When we conquer our fears there is absolutely nothing that can stand in our way. The base of our fear rests in our beautiful and creative minds. Expel fear from your mind and invite courage and creativity to come on in. The power to change is within you. You can be the change you wish to see in the world. Change your mind, and you will change the world!

Frantic Friday
What a whirlwind week… These are surely some interesting times that we are living in. Is everyone feeling the excitement? I know I am.
In one of my favorite books, "Fearless", Steve Chandler quotes Fritz Perls stating "fear is misunderstood excitement". As the world remains in turmoil and people seem to be spinning in circles, I have no fear, I can only feel excitement.
Earlier today, I watched CNN, proclaiming today, "Frantic Friday" as they reported on the plummeting stock markets, and repeatedly showed clips depicting the global panic. It is amazing how powerful our perceptions can be. The worst things that can happen to us are our thoughts. If nobody watched the news and people simply went on with their lives acting clueless, the markets would probably have calmed down by now. Yet this storm is not meant to settle until the world conquers its fears.
Surely, I have many friends and family members who are afraid as my home country faces a very real threat of national bankruptcy. My personal earnings are not too impressive, and bills keep coming in the door and I have little kids to feed. Still, I have no fear! Everything happens for a reason and I am excited to be witnessing this paradigm shift and can’t wait to see what is in store for us all.
These are not times to be fearful; these are exciting times where creative minds in clarity and calmness are to stay open to new ideas and opportunities. Let us not waste our imagination and creativity on worry. Let us for a moment stand in stillness at the center of the storm as calm observers. It is in stillness that one gains the most valuable perspective. When you see calmly and clearly you can not see obstacles, because they do not exist, you only see opportunities. It is in the face of challenges that we become most creative.
Let us summon all creative minds, entrepreneurs and courageous souls in uniting as one, standing together at the center of this storm, finding clarity, and endless opportunities that are simply waiting for their spectacular creators. Be courageous and take advantage of this time in history. We are all here for a reason as we are fortunate to be watching a paradigm shift in the making. A global mind shift is about to take place. How exhilarating is that?
Be creative. This is why you exist. Your moment is here. Be who you were meant to be. Be in the now. Be courageous. This is your time!

Perception and Reality
As the world’s financial markets are in turmoil and my home country is on the verge of national bankruptcy, I am choosing to focus on positive thinking. If our perception is our reality and people genuinely believe that the financial markets are in a downward spiral then that is most definitely what they will feel, live and create. To the negative "thinkers" out there a global bankruptcy might feel like a very real possibility. “The world is going to pieces” was something I heard someone say today. “Are you absolutely sure?” I asked, somewhat teasingly smiling at that person's dramatic exclamation. She quickly replied, “Yes! Haven’t you been watching the news?”
Why yes! Of course I have been watching the news but most definitely not obsessively so which is probably why I have managed to remain calm and centered (for the most part). The news, although informative and sometimes entertaining, are not exactly a clear window into the world. When the drama gets heightened the news get more viewers and exclaiming crisis and terror is exactly what is needed to get people to watch with a focused and undivided attention. While they are at it we might as well convince them they need some Bud Light and a trip to Wal-Mart to help drown some of those fears.
I choose to surround myself with positive thinkers and agree with Byron Katie in that the worst thing that can happen to me is a thought. The lens through which we view the world is ours to pick so even our perception can be as easy as a decision. My decision is to see the world through my positive lens and rest assured knowing that the world markets will eventually calm down and reach equilibrium. They always do and it is not as if mankind hasn’t weathered a few storms before.
The funny thing is that it was our perceptions that got us to where we are at right now in the first place. Unrealistic perception of what this entire boom was actually based on. Nothing can keep growing and expanding without a solid foundation. A house of cards is destined to come crashing down when some of its foundation gets pulled out from underneath it. Yet, somehow people have been caught by a big surprise.
I for one have to say that I am honestly quite excited about this situation and in getting to see how it will evolve and play out. Was it not about time that we sought and discovered a new and sustained equilibrium, one that is based on a more accurate and loving perception?
When placed in comparison to "the grand scheme of things" this really is not so big and horrendous. In the not so distant future we will once again find balance and go on with our beautiful and creative lives as usual, except we may actually be more open, loving and thankful beings by then.
Our thoughts are truly the only thing that can harm us by scaring us to the state of depression and even paralysis. The future is not yet upon us and will always remain an unknown yet we fear it as if it were here, right now, as horrendous as our worst nightmares, real and staring us in the eyes. What good is a life lived in fear? What wonders can you bring to the world when your creativity is spent making up horror and fear?
If you want a beautiful and joyful outcome it is time to change the lens through which you view the world. Change your perception of reality and that becomes your reality. There is only one truth and your truth is in the now.
