Abraham-Hicks (Create from the inside out..)

Abraham Hicks video on Creating from the inside out. I realize these ideas presented here are highly advanced and not easily accepted for the average person, but I wanted to posted for those that were ready for these concepts.

Enthusiasm & Joy!!!

Hello all.
Many people try to overcomplicated things. I believe that at the core of everything you take on, if there isn’t enough enthusiasm or joy, the chances of you going in the wrong direction is very high. Now a lot of people do things because they feel the “have to.” I don’t believe you “have to” do anything. You were put here to express enthusiasm and joy in all that you do, and allowing others to be blessed by this. It always goes back to your personal belief systems. Something is only as important to you because you believe it to be.

“Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.”
-Tony Robbins

HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR ENTHUSIASM & JOY ON A REGULAR BASIS?

Now a lot of people ask me, but how do you keep your enthusiasm and joy when everything around me isn’t working? I say, your view on life is all based on your own perspective. Yes, maybe things didn’t go your way when you wanted it to, but how you deal with it or how you resolve it is always and will always be your choice. Does it get difficult sometimes? Yes. It does get difficult to realize that you are fully responsible for the way you react towards challenges that come your way. But does this make you a stronger and better person? Yes. I believe it does. When you begin to realize that all the reactions that you have deep within you are just your own feelings towards a certain outcome, than you really get an honest look at who you are. If you are willing to change this, remember that it is just a matter of internally changing the way you look at your situation.

ENTHUSIASM & JOY IS A CONSCIOUS DECISION INDIVIDUALS MAKE FOR THEMSELVES

The people living with a sense of enthusiasm and joy everyday I believe make this consious decision for themselves. It really is a choice of the individual to live in this manner. Just as it is a choice for an individual to live in sorrow, or fear. Is it easier to live in sorrow and fear in this society? Yes. It is easier because it seems like the more comfortable choice. It takes a lot more out of a person to bring enthusiasm and joy to the table, especially in these current times we live in. I believe everyone has this ability to shift their focus on what they truly want to bring about in their lives. So although living a life filled with enthusiasm and joy may sound very appealing to many people, the reality is that if you really wanted to be at this level, you would have to make the conscious choice to do so. It all begins with your choice.

“Joy comes from using your potential.”
-Will Schultz

BEGIN NOW!
If you want to start living with enthusiasm and joy and have all these positive experiences come your way, you certainly can! It’s all a choice. Nobody can take this away from you. You were given this power, all you really need to do is start utilizing this power on a daily basis. Seek out things that empower you, and make you feel good! As you seek out these things, begin to focus on the joy it brings you and stay on that course.

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The People That Didn't Believe "The Box" Ever Existed.

I want to say thank you for the individuals that dreamed big and never Believe “The Box” ever existed.
This “box” can come in many forms. It can come in the form of a 9-5 job that people despise. It can be in the form of conforming to a long held condition belief about something that you never even believed in. This box entraps the mind.

Thank you to those that continue to follow their dreams and are not inside “The Box” because they never even believed the box existed.

This blog is dedicated for the dreamers that make their dreams happen, and inspire others to do the same.

Gratitude,

Why Doing What You Love, Never Fails.

Photo Courtesy: kimmarksart.com

Doing what you love never fails. First of all, if you are doing what you love, then you are in an energy of joy. The energy of joy is a great natural feeling. We were made to all experience this type of joy. This energy of joy cannot let you down.

If you did what you loved and didn’t make money, it still never failed you because the action was already in itself a representation of taking action on your joy.
Thus, doing what you Love never fails you. It is only the moment we try to rationalize what we are doing as being either productive or unproductive that makes it so.

So let’s say someone does what she loves for a living. As an example let’s say this lady loves to paint. However her painting all day long doesn’t pay her rent. Keep in mind, (painting is what brings her joy). However, if she says to herself “What I really love doing” is not paying the rent, I have to quit painting. Then she can easily mistake doing what she loves, as doing something wrong. She just associated the inability of paying her rent with the fact that she was getting joy out of what she loved.

She may unconsciously tell herself in her own head, “I love painting, but I have to make money, therefore my love for painting needs to stop, and I need to work for something I may not like, to make ends meet, how dare I try to do something I love, mother was right!”

This is dangerous. The mind game she is playing with in her head is highly dangerous. This can actually lead to more negative conditions in the future. For example if in the future, the opportunity to paint comes around, she may actually begin to despise it altogether. This is simply because she linked a negative association (not having enough money to pay rent) with painting.

The opposite is also true. If she continued to paint, and let’s say still did not make money from it, and said “That’s fine, I’ll continue painting because it brings me joy, I just need to find a creative way to make money from this.” Then at that point she is proving to herself and the universe that what she does for a living will not only pay her rent, but more importantly allow her even more positive associations with doing what she loves.

The fact here is this, Do what you love regardless if it pays you or not, because it will be rewarding for you personally, and if you stay doing it, eventually you will gain confidence that doing what you love, never fails. The only real failure is in telling yourself that doing what you love is wrong.

Always Optimistic,

Limits of Responsibility and Control

Majority of individuals often falsely believe that they have vast amounts of control over others. Due to these false beliefs, they are convinced in their mind, that they are therefore responsible for the many things that (in reality) are actually out of their control. So what happens are feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, a sense of out-of controlness, and guilt.

People are thus encouraged to consider the ideal that the only true control anyone has over anything is over themselves–more precisely over their own thoughts, feelings and actions. This concept is hard for the majority of individuals who always need to feel in control over others. This ideal may totally contradict the persons perception of typical guilt/blame dynamics. The idea of human beings being fully responsible for themselves and what they do control is easier said then done.

We are fully responsible for our own thoughts, feelings and actions,. while others are fully responsible for their own thoughts feelings and actions. In essence, while we are fully responsible for how we react to others, we are not at all responsible for how others react to us.

The advantages of adopting and incorporating this perspective include: 1. an enhanced sense of personal power. 2. clarification of boundaries between self and others, 3. far less general overwhelm. 4. A vast reduction in guilt/blame dynamics. 5. An increased ability to find compassion for all human beings.

Truth Wisdom and Awakening

Hello all.

Truth Wisdom and Awakening will be found in delivering positive value during these rough financial times.

Photo By: www.mansfieldtickets.com/

Delivering Positive Value Today

Delivering positive value is important during these hard economical times. With people loosing their jobs at historical rates, this alternative route is probably the most logical. This alternative is to create positive value to people and deliver it to individuals. This is not overly complicated. This is actually so easy that many people have to question its validity.

There is an abundance of different alternatives to create value and deliver it to people. Social media and the internet is making it easier for people to hop on to a computer and create something of value. For example when I’m writing this blog, I am sparking ideas and valuable information for people that probably never heard of this concept of “delivering positive value”. This bring me great joy. I am glad to know that what I am creating is something of positive value for you. These are the times we need to share and be grateful for the abundance of positive information that is presented to us.

Constantly struggling by searching for jobs that aren’t even close to your life mission, takes you further away from your creative spirit. It drains your energy. Once you begin to run away from your natural ability to create, you gave away your power. And to what did you give your power to?

You will be surprised of the endless abundance of opportunities that arise when you are focused on creating and delivering positive value for others to enjoy and be inspired by. You will find your truth, open up to greater wisdom and experience awakening when you focus on delivering positive value to others.

A Cool Head.

Hello All.
Beyond Success is about keeping a cool head at all times. When things go wrong, being the cool headed nonchalant person in the room is essential. A cool headed person is relaxed, easygoing, and not overly concerned with the petty things that get in the way of beyond success. A cool head means that you are comfortable in your own state of being. A cool headed person has an inner knowing that regardless of the outcome in any situation, all is well, because he or she chose that to be so.

A cool head is confidence, it’s knowing what to do and when to do it. There are no actions steps that are unnecessary. When you have a cool head, all action steps taken are natural and effortless. Keep a cool head, and let it flow. You will be amazed by the cool results.

What The World Is Begining To Understand & The Upside of The Economic Collapse (Beyond Success)

Hello all.

The world is beginning to understand many valuable things in these current economic times. When we start to look at all the real life devastation that is happening in the current economy, we start to understand that there is a major upside to this. The upside of the current economic collapse is that we have a shot at regaining our freedom back. This freedom is the same freedom, that was taken away once we depended on our egos and dependent on ideas like the idea of “security.”

“The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.”
-H. L. Mencken

The moment someone says something is “secure,” the more they are lying to you because the truth is, there is no such thing as “security” In life you are either moving toward freedom or illusion. Illusion is in trying hard to find security. The truth is that change is the only thing that is constant. The world is constantly changing in these times, “appearing” secure is not the best thing to do right now. It’s better in these times to not know what to do, but focus on freedom, then appear to know what to do and copy what everyone else is doing and cling to security. There are many types of security that are an illusion. Job security is one good example, of an illusion. Job security is an illusion that was an idea that was bought up by the masses that agreed to trust their ego mind. When you begin to trust your ego mind you will fade of in directions that mainstream America has sold you into. This is why what the world is beginning to understand is that job-security really is job-insecurity. If you think about this, when did being secure have to do with hating what you did everyday, being told how much you are getting paid, what time to eat, and answering to a boss that you probably don’t even agree with? That sounds like insecurity to me. The more secure you think you are, the less freedom you actually have. The more you chase after this false sense of security the more freedom you are loosing. After many years of study I have found that you can find truth in freedom. In security you will find a bunch of bent up misleading information.

What the world is really beginning to understand, aside from jobs and career, is that there is only very little that really matters in the world. When you are connected to your inner being and operating at a vibrational level that is truly you, the concepts above don’t really matter much. When you operate out of your real self, not what some boss told you to operate out of, you have a great chance at freedom. By freedom I am talking about freedom of time, money, creativity, thought, speech, resources etc. The concepts that begin to matter when you operate from this higher level, then become about things like the value you are providing to people, or how much are you contributing to society. The upside of the economic collapse is that when it’s all said and done one thing is for sure. As a collective consiousness we will all learn a valuable lesson. This lesson will come in come in many different forms. The lesson of focusing on freedom instead of security will be a major lesson learned.

“Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.”
-James Baldwin

For me personally, the way I’m approaching what is ahead is by continually focusing on building my own personal development so I can assist and guide others, in their own personal development. I am constantly learning, growing, and expanding my mind everyday. I do this because I am focused on freedom. My life mission surpasses what mainstream society tries desperately to put me in. God will lead me. The idea of inspiring and empowering countless individuals is not some distant fantasy that I thought of one day and will leave alone, this is my life mission. When people begin to realize the real wisdom that is passed on these blogs, you will wake up to the reality that I live in. This is the reality of Being free.
What the world is beginning to understand that freedom is closer than they may think. They need to change their old way of thinking to change their lives. The upside of the Economic collapse is that it presents you with the time to do so now.

The Amazing & Spectacular Life!!! (Beyond Success)

Hello all.

The Amazing

The life you are living at this moment is amazing. It is amazing because the way in which you decide to go about your life is exactly what you should be doing. Where you are at and what you are thinking is exactly what you should be thinking. This is why life is amazing. It’s amazing because you are still breathing, you still have food to eat. Amazing is inside you and you know it. When you woke up this morning you were ready for an amazing day regardless if you knew it or not. The best part of this amazing life is the reality that you don’t need any specific or particular reason for it to be amazing. It becomes amazing the moment you see it that way.

The Spectacular

The life you are living at this moment is spectacular. You don’t need any validation, or someone to ask if you are living the spectacular life. You don’t need someone else’s opinion on what is spectacular for you. There is no real logical reason why your life at this moment is spectacular. If you are alive, healthy and able to read this your life is spectacular. You are living in such a spectacular time in history. Honor it, respect it, and be spectacular from within. Plain and simple. You don’t need a reason for your life to be spectacular, you just need to accept that there are spectacular things in your nature that allow it to be so. And so it is.

Go Completely Opposite of Society and Win in Life (Beyond Success)

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
-Albert Einstein

Hello all.
You stand a much better chance at winning n life if you go completely opposite of what society wants from you. When you conform to what society wants from you on a daily basis, you actually become a victim to being like everyone else. I don’t know about you, but being like everyone else has a lot of drawbacks.

“Listen to society and fall, listen to your spirit and ball.”
-Baker

Have fun and do exactly the opposite of what society is teaching you. Society is teaching you to be like them so that the people at the top can win big. Why not be the person on the top winning.
Listen, this day and age we need more courage and less fear, because the world is changing fast. Don’t try to keep up with the people that aren’t at your level. Push forward, be you all day every single day. A lot of the news on television are used as scare tactics. The best advice I received at a young age is to go opposite of what they are saying in the news, and see what amazing opportunities emerge.

“Fortune favors the brave.”
-Publius Terence

You have a better shot at winning in life, if you be what society doesn’t want you to be. Play by your own rules. Live how you were destined to live, not what some television show is trying to get you to be. The true winners in life operate from their spirit based knowledge, and not ego needs. The ego needs to feel alive and society places a great opportunity for the ego to survive. Society rewards the ego time and time again, so I don’t blame people for buying into the path that leads ultimately to destruction. However the higher consious individual understands this and takes a stand, and artfully moves in the direction of the soul. Let go of this need and desire to be like everyone, this is not the style anymore. Be you, and grow at the pace you know is best for you. Don’t let this twisted society determine where you should be. You know the answer to this, what you focus on expands. Go inward and let the outward manifest the way it is supposed to.
Life has no boundaries when you see the world as an inspired individual. Go completely opposite of society and win in life.

Don't Use a Yardstick To Measure Up (via Beyond Success)

Don’t Use A Yardstick To Measure Up August 4, 2009

Hello all.

NOT TRYING TO MEASURE UP

The real secret to my personal life of beyond success, was the moment that I began stop using a yardstick to measure up to other people. I refuse to measure my accomplishments and failures with that of others. This is because I understand that the yardstick is actually a form of the ego. Like I’ve stated in my previous posts, the ego is desperate for survival. It needs to cling onto some fixed idea in order for it to survive. The idea of trying to have accomplished a particular thing at a certain time or age, is all ego.

I believe that the way the school system is structured actually strengthens the ego. For example, the idea of finishing college in 4 years, following orders from your teacher to get good grades, is a mental and social conditioning that enables people to start using the yardstick to measure up to others. The social constructed individual takes this into the workplace, and the ego chooses to hang out with people that identity with similar conditioning. So using a mental yardstick to measure up is actually something people, through social conditioning start to live up to. They begin comparing themselves, because there is a certain “time” things need to get done.

I don’t know about you, but the idea of having to always trust this yardstick doesn’t feel natural.
This has nothing to do with being either an ambitious or lazy individual. It’s about being in your natural flow at the time you are meant to be. I write a lot also about being in the present moment in my previous posts. This all ties into not using a yardstick, because when you are fully present in what you are doing, the thoughts of “measuring up” to others, slowly diminishes and ceases to exist. That’s why I believe the yardstick is a form of the ego, because it takes you out of the present moment, and instead of doing what needs to be done, you look outward for suggestions, when the real answers are within you to begin with.

“When You Try hard, You Die hard”
-Kanye West

The great thing about the way life works is that everything comes when it’s supposed to come. Nothing in nature is ever forced. If you look at the way the trees grow overtime, they actually just grow naturally. They don’t try hard to grow, they don’t compare their size to other trees. One tree doesn’t try to grow taller than the other tree, it just grows at the level that is natural for the tree, neither does one tree try to shrink to make the tree next to it look bigger.

AN EXAMPLE FROM NATURE
The tree will lose leaves, and grow new ones. It’s just being. That’s what I feel more people should consider. Just being. Your personal growth may come really quickly or may come at a slower pace. You may have a run of tremendous accomplishment, and a time for a few disappointments. Begin now to be okay with the pace of whatever is best for you in your own life. Let it flow. Everything happens at it’s own pace and it’s own time.
Put your faith in yourself and you and express gratitude for the small victories along the way. Allow good things to come and don’t rely on the yardstick of other people, to determine where you should be, or what you should have. You are actually at a better place, than you realize at this moment.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
-Steve Jobs

A PERSONAL EXAMPLE-THE SUCCESS OF THIS BLOG
An example in my own life is that when I began to see a lot of success with this blog. To be honest, I couldn’t really keep up with the success of this blog at the time. When I started seeing 80+ visitors to my blog I got a little scared. From going to 0 views a day for 6 straight months, to my readership growing to 80+ was a stretch for me at the time. This fear has taught me to except what is and let it be. I have to be willing to accept the fact that I’m moving to higher levels with my writing. I’m learning how to accept the victories I’ve been blessed with along the way. I have to stay with this flow, because this is where I’m at.

One year ago, I couldn’t say that was the case at all. Two years ago I operated at a much slower pace of success. Two years ago things seemed to move slower and things felt muddy. So acknowledging that I’m in a higher place for me creatively is key. It’s not about whether others say it’s a success or not, but really what I honestly know from what I know for myself. Begin now to trust your flow, your own pace. This is a more reliable way for you to go about life.

Don’t use a yardstick to measure up, it’s not reliable.

Not looking for gaurantees- The Real Secret To Success.

11 11 2008

Hello All.
Let me you in on a little secret that great successful people know.

The secret is that you have to be willing to do things that have no Guaranteed results. This can mean means that you go after things that you know won’t pay you money (at first). That means ask highly successful people questions that you know there is a high chance you will get rejected.

Yes that is the secret. The secret is to train yourself to become very comfortable with uncertainty. We have been conditioned to believe that there are answers to every single question. We have been trained to always go for the path that is safer and secure. This conditioning comes from a place of mediocrity.

The truth is the more comfortable you become with uncertainty the more you come in direct contact with your fears. The more you understand your fears, the more likely you are to understand yourself. You see that’s how it works, you have to prove to yourself that you will do whatever it takes to succeed but by being in a state of not knowing what is going to happen next… is the real secret to success.

Nothing in life is guaranteed, the more you are comfortable with that idea, the more success will flow towards you.

The Difference Between Being and Having

1 02 2009

Photo From: http://www.townofbeloit.org/earth.gif

Hello all.
There is a difference between being and having. Being is a state of mind, while having are the effects of being. Being is something you are, it is your essence, having is just stuff you acquired because of who you were. For example a real salespersons job is to sell. That is who they are. They sell. If they are good at what they do, they are rewarded with money. Money is what they now have, but it isn’t what they are. They are a salesperson first, and the money comes second. That is why they say “man makes the money, but money never makes the man.”
When you focus on being, and who you are, the secondary things like money come along. I don’t understand why people work so hard for money, and forget about who they really are. When you work hard for the money and who you are being is lost, isn’t that the same thing as someone trying to find meaning in life?

Being is when you know that what you are doing is in alignment with who you really are. When it is out of alignment, then you are not “being” you. Your emotions will guide you in telling you if you are in alignment or not. For example, if something you are doing feels like a major struggle and your health is in jeopardy from what you are doing, there is a good chance you are not being you. If however you feel a strong good energetic feeling, aliveness, and goodness in your body there is a good chance you are being you and what you are doing is alignment with who you are. You have the capacity to be the real you, when you sit down and listen to the inner voice that is present in all of us. You will begin to be aware of amazing and awesome experiences when you tap into this energy of yourself. Opportunites, events, and the right people will manifest because you have focused on being.

Being is primary, having is secondary.

Attracting V.S Chasing Desires.

Hello all.
Do you attract or chase after what you want? Either way, if you do both the correct way you will get what you desire. I personally don’t chase after my desires. I consider myself a very determined and ambitious individual, but I attract rather than chase. You put yourself at the mercy of what you are trying to get when you are chasing. However when you are attracting things you are dominate to your desires, you place yourself in a better position to receive your desire. When you are attracting you have a detached quality to how you go about things. When you are in alignment with the right kind of detachment you have the attitude that if you get what you desire then great, if you don’t, that’s fine too. It’s a passive quality that puts you at the dominate position that allows things to come instead of you having to try and chase it. Attracting things to you is more natural and allows you to “be” instead of “do.” When you are truly being you, you tend to attract your desires instead of chasing your desires. Sure, there are things you will go after with a gusto, but the majority of good things and experiences are what you draw towards you sometimes effortlessly.
It’s really a matter of belief. When your belief is at a high level, it is much easier to attract than chase. So I recommend this for people that are operating at this high level of energy.
You will feel the difference between chasing and attracting, when you step into this awareness.
