Day 3 of 365 

I do not understand anything I see.

I do not understand anything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place].

Apply this idea in the same way as the previous ones, without making distinctions of any kind. 

Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the idea. Be sure that you do not question the suitability of anything for application of the idea. 

These are not exercises in judgment. Anything is suitable if you see it. 

Some of the things you see may have emotionally charged meaning for you. Try to lay such feelings aside, and merely use these things exactly as you would anything else.

The point of the exercises is to help you clear your mind of all past associations, to see things exactly as they appear to you now, and to realize how little you really understand about them. It is therefore essential that you keep a perfectly open mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the things to which the idea for the day is to be applied. 

For this purpose one thing is like another; equally suitable and therefore equally useful.


I hpe this video lesson has been helpful in opening your mind to the new concepts being explored here.

Workbook Lesson 2


I have given everything I see all the meaning that it has for me.


I have given everything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] all the meaning that it has for me.

The exercises with this idea are the same as those for the first one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the idea to whatever your glance rests on. Then increase the range outward. 

Turn your head so that you include whatever is on either side. If possible, turn around and apply the idea to what was behind you. 

Remain as indiscriminate as possible in selecting subjects for its application, do not concentrate on anything in particular, and do not attempt to include everything you see in a given area, or you will introduce strain.

Merely glance easily and fairly quickly around you, trying to avoid selection by size, brightness, color, material, or relative importance to you. Take the subjects simply as you see them.

 Try to apply the exercise with equal ease to a body or a button, a fly or a floor, an arm or an apple. The sole criterion for applying the idea to anything is merely that your eyes have lighted on it. 

Make no attempt to include anything particular, but be sure that nothing is specifically excluded.


Day 1 of 365 - A Course in Miracles Lesson 1 - Nothing I See Means Anything

I am so excited to start this 365 days of Enlightenment and Meditation!

I would sincerely request you to start this 365 day process

I too am doing this with you on all these days.

Start wherever you are, no matter what day or month or week it is.

Just let go and let your energy rise to the highest vibration,
so you can set the world on fire and live your life to the fullest,
whatever that "fullest" means to you.



Let us begin....Day 1 of 365

Workbook Lesson 1

Nothing I See Means Anything.


Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] means anything.

Now look slowly around you, and practice applying this idea very specifically to whatever you see:
This table does not mean anything.
This chair does not mean anything.
This hand does not mean anything.
This foot does not mean anything.
This pen does not mean anything.

Then look farther away from your immediate area, and apply the idea to a wider range:

That door does not mean anything.
That body does not mean anything.

Notice that these statements below are not arranged in any order, and make no allowance for differences in the kinds of things to which they are applied. That is the purpose of the exercise. The statement should merely be applied to anything you see. As you practice the idea for the day, use it totally indiscriminately. Do not attempt to apply it to everything you see, for these exercises should not become ritualistic. Only be sure that nothing you see is specifically excluded. One thing is like another as far as the application of the idea is concerned.



Each of the first three lessons should not be done more than twice a day each, preferably morning and evening. Nor should they be attempted for more than a minute or so, unless that entails a sense of hurry. A comfortable sense of leisure is essential.

A Course in Miracles - Introduction

Introduction to A Course in Miracles Workbook for Students


A theoretical foundation such as the text provides is necessary as a framework to make the exercises in this workbook meaningful. Yet it is doing the exercises that will make the goal of the course possible. An untrained mind can accomplish nothing. It is the purpose of this workbook to train your mind to think along the lines the text sets forth.

The exercises are very simple. They do not require a great deal of time, and it does not matter where you do them. They need no preparation. The training period is one year. The exercises are numbered from 1 to 365. Do not undertake to do more than one set of exercises a day.

The workbook is divided into two main sections, the first dealing with the undoing of the way you see now, and the second with the acquisition of true perception. With the exception of the review periods, each day's exercises are planned around one central idea, which is stated first. This is followed by a description of the specific procedures by which the idea for the day is to be applied.
The purpose of the workbook is to train your mind in a systematic way to a different perception of everyone and everything in the world. The exercises are planned to help you generalize the lessons, so that you will understand that each of them is equally applicable to everyone and everything you see.

Transfer of training in true perception does not proceed as does transfer of the training of the world. If true perception has been achieved in connection with any person, situation or event, total transfer to everyone and everything is certain. On the other hand, one exception held apart from true perception makes its accomplishments anywhere impossible.

The only general rules to be observed throughout, then, are: First, that the exercises be practiced with great specificity, as will be indicated. This will help you to generalize the ideas involved to every situation in which you find yourself, and to everyone and everything in it. Second, be sure that you do not decide for yourself that there are some people, situations or things to which the ideas are inapplicable. This will interfere with transfer of training. The very nature of true perception is that it has no limits. It is the opposite of the way you see now.

The overall aim of the exercises is to increase your ability to extend the ideas you will be practicing to include everything. This will require no effort on your part. The exercises themselves meet the conditions necessary for this kind of transfer.

Some of the ideas the workbook presents you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter. You are merely asked to apply the ideas as you are directed to do. You are not asked to judge them at all. You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.

Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, and whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than that is required.

I have created a video for each exercise and the first exercise can be found in my blog here http://cosmichealingtransformation.blogspot.com/2017/02/a-course-in-miracles-lesson-1-nothing-i.html

Shifting Out of Negative Space

Meditating does not mean that you extract that part of your memory and forget all that has ever happened before. Especially life events that hasn't served you well and more than anything in this world, you would like the "pain and suffering" to be taken away. You must know, that our mind is like the revolving earth, ever evolving and spinning in its orbit in its own perfect proximity and whatever that's been planted before, it is there and always will be.

Because it is so wide and limitless, we can choose where we would like to lead our thoughts to. Our mind is the limitless space, and "negative" spaces are fundamental to building an "image and picture" of anything we wish to put together. That is how we are able to visualize dreams, scenarios, circumstances and fragments of things we have come to learn and know about. We put those pieces together inside our heads. When you learn to "un-clutter" the mind, you get to choose to be on the other side of the "negative space" that is part of your brain and living mind and you can't turn that part "off" like a switch. You can only ever attempt to make the effort for a "shift" into a different space.


When you "quiet" the mind, you see more clearly and there is a small window of opportunity to make the "shift" when that happens. Slowly, steadily, you shift yourself to a different space - a positive one. One that contains new affirmations and thoughts, new memories, experiences and places you have recreated for yourself. Planting new seeds takes time for it to grow and also takes consistent care for it to ensure that it is healthy and strong before you can bear fruits and flowers for you to enjoy and repeat the cycle.

It is a process, a journey, a learning curve for the mind to adjust and know its way around. Just like anybody you first come to know as a stranger, our minds are the same and it could be our potential best friend or worst enemy. You can make the effort to understand her strengths and weaknesses to make the "relationship" work or you can resist, resent it and feel like it is a battle and challenge every day and feel the need to fight against it all day long. It is a choice we all have and we can make it work to our advantage.

Meditation doesn't necessarily mean sitting in a chair or on a floor and just closing your eyes in a dead quiet room that could echo your breath and forcing your mind to stop the chatter. In the beginning, this would probably be counter-active to your first step of taking the leap to have control of your mind. It would probably work better if you used other tools or routines to help jump-start your mind and introduce new positive things and subjects into it before you begin to sift and sort.


Yoga is one of the methods that best serves as a physical and also a mental workout, producing best results for both body and mind. Because you literally hold your own physical body as your object of attention, all the focus and concentration put on it will ultimately produce positive results if you commit wholeheartedly and go into the postures with intent and give it your undivided attention. If you do it consciously for a full 60 - 90 minutes every day, that would definitely lead you feeling a whole lot better re-leasing all kinds of tensions and stress in your body and mind with your attention taken away from any feelings of negativity in that frame of time and put right onto your physical body directly to tone and strengthen. It is by far one of the most effective practices for easily distracted individuals.

You can of course pick up a quieter and more subtle routine and habit like a good self-development read, (if exercising is a big issue for you for whatever reason) books of a positive nature and feed your mind with more "good stuff" so that you can "fill it up" with new knowledge that are applicable in your daily activities and one that serves you well. Painting nature also serves as an extremely good way to put your attention on bright colors and natural feel-good settings and environment over a good period of an hour straight, uninterrupted with your mind stationed in a good, happy place.

It is a little obscure as people always have this idea that only professional artists can pick up that paintbrush to do something like that. But really, you don't need to be Picasso to attempt to engage in this activity. If you have a love for nature, it will not be a difficult task for you to set your eyes on it for a full hour, however your painting turn out to become is totally irrelevant and only serves as an outlet to grab hold of your attention.

The more positive activities and attitudes you choose to include into your daily life activities, the easier the road to be able to sit down and literally do nothing and naturally be able to quiet you mind comes quickly. You will no longer have to use external tools to aid you in doing so. It will just be you, your space and your mind. That is the ultimate goal eventually. Not having to meditate while you're in an awkward pose (yoga) or having to set your eyes on something beautiful to do so (nature) will be the best outlet to go about because you take yourself and your mind everywhere you go, literally.


You can't always carry your yoga mat with you 24/7 or readily have paints and brushes in your bag pack or a new book constantly at the back of your palms so if you can eventually do it with nothing in your hands or on your plate to "keep you occupied", you have successfully achieved the best method to do your meditation. To simply just sit there, close your eyes and let it all go. (Negative thoughts and feelings) To allow well-being to enter with ease and flow, making the shift to the positive space of every-thing you ever desired for and want in your life.

My latest Book "Pause. Breathe. Shift." is now available worldwide on Amazon. http://www.createspace.com/6355855 (Special Offer / Promo)

This is a book specially written with my deep love nurtured for diversity, growth and development to uplift, inspire and lead you one step closer to living the life that is free of emotional struggles towards your health, relationships, food and everything that matters most to you learning how to make the shift in your perspective towards negative circumstances and living your life out to its fullest potential.

Empower Your Eyes and Ears to Tune Into What Works Best in Your World of Daily Events

***Anytime you wish to do something for your betterment, keep it to yourself, that's until your concept is fully realized or you have a plan in motion. I wish that I could say that people, friends and family are always wanting the best outcome for us, as well as for themselves, but I would be remiss if I made such a blanket statement.

Learning to rely on your own opinion and listening to yourself is more important these days than anything else. It's okay to get opinions, from others, in off-handed events, though going to another for approval, counsel or inclusion is a bad decision. Be empowered MORE by what your heart feels is correct, done in justice, or with what resonates with your individual way of thinking and achieving your goals.


Goals are individual. And while goals are individual, let's also know that UNLESS you are depriving another person of their rights, or of their right to decide what to do with their own property, or as long as you aren't committing a crime, you have the right to do whatever you wish. Nobody has the right to steal from another or to exploit property for unjust enrichment, especially if you are not the owner of origin,if it NEVER belonged to you. With all of those disclaimers disclosed, I want you to know that you are empowered to do whatever it is that makes you happy! Seeking improvement or betterment of oneself is best accomplished by acknowledging or recognizing that you deserve to experience or attain your desires.

Betterment of oneself is analyzing your past actions and focusing your intention to begin, continue or to cease doing what you are doing, especially it is not bringing you the results that you seek. If for example you really like writing and doing some reading, but you are a lousy writer who struggles with grammar, punctuation and sentence structure, yet you don't want to hire an editor, then I suggest you find another field of choice. Another example: Say you enjoy singing and get inspired by the sounds of nature, put some lyrics together, start writing songs, and be assured that one day you will be happy and content with your accomplishment.

Be supportive of your own inborn joys and talents. If your effort needs fixing, correcting or review, then if you can't do that, hire someone to do the finishing touches, of your project, for you. Empower yourself to be in tune with what works best for you!


Car mechanics are very shrewd people and have an amazing way of listening to automobile sounds and are readily able to assess a car's condition. Like a medical physician would do, they are able to tune into a car's problem(s) by listening to the car. Mechanics are readily listening to the cars' normal sounds, sounds coming from moving missing or worn-out parts, or clanking noises coming from the engine. I call mechanics car doctors, they simply are outstanding and empowered by their perception and insight. Auto technicians are experts at fixing or repairing parts and engines, attained over many repairs or many years of experience. Empowered by practicing their trade,memorizing past sounds and recalling situations when an automobile was/ wasn't operating correctly. Empower your eyes and ears to tune into what works best in your world of daily events.

I could readily name so many industries that empower their employees to use their senses to fix problems, or to be of service. Sales people, of any industry, are competent and knowledgeable about the goods and services that they sell. They are empowered to educate consumers, patrons or large corporations to make the proper selection between what one competitor offers, distinguishing the difference, between one company's quality, product or service over others.

People are drawn to other empowering people, so feel empowered by your knowledge or wisdom! The more you share your light of joy or wisdom with others, the more you empower another to share their acknowledgement, support, or appreciation back to you! It's called the circle of empowerment- May the empowerment of kind acts, or deeds circle back to you, in as much effort, as you released to the world around you! May you reap the product of your deeds in the same or greater measure! Any worthwhile empowered, kind, loving heartfelt act, attracts the same kindness back to the source!~

I enjoy learning from you and from others continuously!


*Writing daily especially for you, inspiring heartfelt, empowering passages!~
***Freelance Writer of Inspirational Articles, Motivational Speaker and Writer of catchy, trending, poetry- Advertising and more! You pick the venue and I will expertly write it for you!***You can reach me via U.S. mail in Orlando, Florida.~ Writing is my hearts genuine desire to reach the masses and teach, share, learn, motivate, or engage my readers in an original, poetic, whimsical or informative discipline.

Making Room for the New - Creating a Vacuum Is the Number One Rule in the Universe

Recently, a friend of mine said, I have learned "you have got to get rid of the old in order to make room for the new." If we all realized just how poignantly true this statement is, we could easily and effortlessly claim our good.

Creating a vacuum is the number one rule in the universe. Often, we cling to old, worn-out things because we are afraid to embrace the new and often unknown. Creating a vacuum applies to all areas of our lives. This has to be done frequently throughout our life. First, start with areas that seem insignificant. Clean out your car, your desk drawers, your closets and all the physical crooks and crannies in your surroundings. Don't forget the trunk of your car as well as your wallets and
handbags. After you have thoroughly cleaned out these areas donate, throw away, or give away the items that no longer suit you. There are a few guidelines to remember. Anything that makes you: a) feel poor or unworthy, b) has not been used in a year, c) will never be used again, d) makes you feel sad, must be discarded. The emotional attachment, as well as any financial concerns regarding these items, must be released and forgotten. Starting with these areas will result in some immediate improvements in your life. Be honest with yourself. If you feel at all anxious during this process, here is a prayer that may help:

I freely and fully release all worn-out things, conditions, and people who are no longer for my highest good. I freely and fully release them to their highest good and my highest good comes to me with speed, ease, and wisdom.


For some, this will be an easy process, however, for many, it will not be. Just remind yourself that nature abhors a vacuum and is busy creating the appropriate items to replace the ones that no longer suit you. Now the real work begins.

You will also have to take the next step if you are seeking permanent change. You must decide to concentrate on "healing" you. This means you will have to take a break from "fixing" the people around you. Letting others be is a difficult task, but somehow I think they will survive.

You begin this tedious process by discarding relationships, not for your highest good; releasing past hurts and feelings; severing emotional attachments to old lovers; forgiving painful events in the past and casting off old ideas.

All these things, as well as possessions that have outlived their usefulness, block the flow of good in the universe. Dwelling on past events of your life will guarantee that you will continue to relive these experiences. Old feelings and hurts will be cast into all new relationships, causing them to end in the same way. When relationships end, remember the heart is not broken. This is only a signal that it is time to continue your journey on another level. Carry with you only the good, the love you shared. Allow all else to fade into nothingness, for that is truly what it is.

If you are having difficulty determining if your current relationships are toxic, ask yourself if the relationships are abusive in anyway, i.e., physically, emotionally or financially. If the answer is yes, then you have some arduous decisions to make. When we become entangled in toxic relationships (personal, physical, family or professional), our growth is stunted. We try to heal the others, forgetting that the only person we can truly heal is our self. By becoming fully committed to our healing, we will be able to let go of these relationships. Once you have freed yourself, you can begin to grow and your life will be bombarded with miracles. I will not promise this will be easy. Because this is a very difficult step, it will be one of the most rewarding.


Spirit has promised to not fail or forsake us. This applies to all areas of our lives. After you have completed the task and created a vacuum, Spirit will rush in and fill the empty places with wonderful people and delightful things. So do not panic if it looks like you are all alone and do not have a thing to wear.

Remember, life is too short to drink cheap champagne. Dream Big! Live the life you have imagined.

How To Stay Positive To Enjoy Successful Manifestation

To Enjoy A Successful Manifestation, One Must Be Positive

Everyone is talking about manifestation, the law of attraction and the power of the universe. Many think they know how to use it, how to manifest, and benefit a lot from that knowledge. Many still struggle and keep wondering what are those successful people did to manifest anything they want and harness the power of the universe.

The key is everything is made of energy and vibration. You are what you vibrate. When you vibrate fear to the universe, the universe will send you more event to be feared. When you vibrate anger, you receive even more event to be angry at or people who are angry with you. On the other hand, when you vibrate happiness and positive thinking, you will receive more happiness and positivity in return.

So let's learn how to become a positive person to ensure you don't vibrate any negativities to the universe and start enjoying successful manifestations, and receive only the fabulous things in life.


How To Think Positive Even When In The Most Challenging Situation

1. Always smile

Smiling at yourself in the mirror helps to uplift your spirit quickly as well as reducing your stress. Please bear in mind that you need fewer muscles to smile than to frown.

2. Review all the blessings in your life

It is worthy to go through your diary, old happy photos, amusing VDO clips, or any past accomplishments. By revisiting those proud moments, happiness, and joy, you cannot hold on to the negativities and sadness. You will feel proud, confident and positive. Remember the feeling.

3. Reward yourself sometimes

Give yourself some compliments, flowers, or small rewards sometimes when you achieve something no matter how little it is. You can also reward yourself with some new opportunities to learn something new, to explore something new, or to meet new people. These little awards help you feel good about yourself. It is a way to show your appreciation to yourself. A positive attitude can never arise if you do not even feel good about yourself.

4. Stop whining!

Whining is a reflection of your negativities that have been put into words. It does no good to anyone. On the other hand while complaining you have unknowingly vibrated your negative energy to others and the universe. The law of attraction will work and attract the same energy to you. Moreover, you may get into the habit of whining. And when you do, the negativities will dwell in your constant mood which will attract people of the same kind to your life.

Many people complain to get what they want, the way they want it. There are many ways to get things done, have things we want, the way we want it by using other positive approaches like rewarding, complimenting, encouraging. These positive approaches may work slower but guarantee to draw back only positive energy to your circle.


5. Appreciation!

Learn how to be thankful for everything you have right now. It is always a good idea to thank other people for everything they do for you no matter how big or small. Admiring others and be thankful for others guard away negativities from your mind. On the contrary, these acts of appreciation and admiration vibrate positive energy to the universe and will draw back the same energy to you. Sincere admiration and heartfelt appreciation do not only make people who receive them feel happy but also make you realize your significance and presence.

6. Surround yourself with positive people

Talking to positive people help tuning our mood. We can absorb and study the way they think. Eventually, we will become positive too.

7. Stay away from negative people

Negative thought is contagious. When we hang out with negative people, we gradually absorb it. Sooner than we realize, we will find ourselves a negative person too.

8. Learn Dhamma, motivational quotes!

Reading good books of Dhamma or motivational and inspiring quotes from successful people help to stop us from going down the negative lane. Whenever negativity arises, grasp a book or read a motivational quote we like the most. It helps.

9. Think of others who have less and suffer more

Sometimes when we think about people who are less fortunate, people who are suffering more from the scarcity of necessities in life, we might as well appreciate our lives and what we have more. Moreover, many who suffered poverty and hardship have fought to rise above the water. Many have fought to rise above the crowd and become extremely successful. How could they make such a great achievement? Sometimes learning about other people's success story could inspire us. Learn how they managed to lead their lives from zero to hero.

10. Help others and learn to forgive

Helping other people in every possible way you can would make you feel very positive about yourself. Forgiving people also uplifts your spirit. It makes you let go of negative feeling and make you feel good about yourself too.


11. Blessing others and wish them well

When we bless someone or wish someone well from the heart, we automatically create a positive feeling and kindness in our heart. When we wish, we vibrate favorable energy to the universe. And by that, you have sent the signal to the universe you want a blessing too.

12. Stop thinking negative

Practice meditation to be aware of any negative thought once it occurs. When you realize you have a negative thought, ask yourself whether what you think is real. Ask yourself whether those thoughts are healthy and make you feel happy. What could be gained from holding on to negativity? What could be gained from letting it go and be positive instead?

13. Be careful before asking yourself 'why?'

The 'Why' is good when you need to find out the source of conflict or find a solution. However, asking 'why' to find fault or to create conflict and negativity is not healthy at all. Be aware before asking why. If it is for the good cause, do it. If not, better not asking 'why?'. Try asking yourself a different question like "Why do we expect everything and everyone be as we expected?", "Are we being self-centered?", "Should we think less of what we want and start accepting things the way they are?".

14. Exercise to uplift your mind

Your mind has an impact on your body and vice versa. So when you feel down, use your body to uplift your spirit. Exercise is a great way to light up your mood and generate healthy energy for your body and mind. Try running, jogging, yoga, or any exercises that would help you see your daily progress and experience some new achievements every day. When you are sad and discouraged, try some posture that would light up your mood quickly like smiling, look up the sky and take a deep breath. Your feeling will revert to positivity in no time.

15. Ask yourself some questions

One of the effective ways to tackle negativities is not to believe in those negative ideas. First, you need to be aware of the feeling. Second, find out what was the cause. Then use a series of questions that help to stop you from being negative which are:

Is it true?
Are there any proofs?
Can we prove it wrong?
Is it useful?
Would this thought make us happy?
What are the cons if we hold on to these ideas?
What the worse that could happen if we still hold on to these negativities?
Lastly, is it necessary that we believe in these negative ideas?
16. Meditation

Practice meditation for at least 15 minutes a day. You can try a peace meditation that helps you calm your mind and feel peaceful.

However, it is better to practice insight meditation. Insight meditation helps sharpen your mind and your awareness. You will be aware of any thoughts and feelings that come to mind quickly and be able to response more wisely. With awareness, you start vibrating only positive energy to the universe and sooner or later the universe will draw the same to you in kind.

17. Singing

Music can pull you out of your misery even for a short time. When singing, you have a chance to release your sorrow, troubles, and difficulties through the song. You feel a lot relieved after that. Music can help you feel good too.

18. Change your attitude

Given the same scenario, two people may have different opinions toward the situation. For example, when encountering difficulties, a positive person may see it as a challenge. The negative person may view it as an obstacle or a setback. So whenever facing troubles, try seeing them as a challenge, or an opportunity to develop your skill to overcome this problem.


19. Start your sentence with 'At least'

When life has been unkind to you in any way, it is wise to look at the positive side of the situation by using 'at least.' For example, when you fail something, you could say to yourself 'At least I have tried my best.'

When you lose your job, you can say to yourself 'At least I still have good health and now the new opportunity to explore my potential.' By looking at the positive aspect of any situations, you will see more opportunity in it and can gain more from the situation than staying negative.

Try practicing these secrets as often as you can until it becomes your habit. The law of attraction will start working on you. You will find your life changing in a positive way and start seeing how the universe is responding to your every wish like a miracle.

Message From the Universe: There Is Abundance Out There, Enough for Everyone

"If everyone wanted the same thing, if everyone wanted whatever was super trendy and wildly popular, or even if everyone wanted independence, wealth, health and happiness, it wouldn't change the fact that you could still have yours, pronto.

There is enough for everyone.

And you do know the "right people."

Unlimited,
The Universe"

With the billions of stars and galaxies in our Universe, there is as much abundance out there to meet the needs of this planet's whole population, a million times over. We are always fearing others taking what we want because we are afraid that if they have wealth, there is not enough for us to have as well. We constantly look to find opportunities and make sure to keep it to ourselves because of our thought process. There are enough opportunities and wealth out there for you to have your piece of the pie.


Everyone might ask: "Well, if that is the fact, why aren't we all rich, and wealthy, and this or that?" That is because we were trained to think this way. Let me explain. As we were raised to be an individual participating to the greater good of society, we were thought by our parents that you need to work a steady 40 hours schedule to fulfill your role as a breadwinner, no matter the gender. We were then taught on how to fulfill our obligations to get to work in the morning and get back at night, and repeat this as much as needed until retirement.


There are, in some circumstances, some who broke out of this mold and said: "Screw this upbringing. I am going to create my own opportunities and become the person I want to be, no matter what the outcome. I will be my own boss and create my own wealth. I will not let anyone dictate my schedule and will be the best I can be. I do not fear uncertainties, I do not fear failure, I do not fear anything. I will prevail no matter what". This breed of people are called Entrepreneurs. It is with this mentality that we have many entrepreneurs that are successful OR in many cases not, but still going for their dreams and their pursuit of happiness.


There is no reason to think that wealth and abundance is not around you. Be one of the few that will train your offspring to think that there is enough out there for everyone to take their portion of that wealth. If you teach them to keep everything for themselves or that if someone have reached wealth, that there is no longer anything available for them to go for and should abandon their dreams. Teach everyone to NOT compare themselves with someone who have already reach ultimate financial success. It will be the beginning of the end for them. Not a good way to start teaching good habits here. So what can you do as a parent? Teach them abundance and attitude of appreciation for everything that is happening in their lives. Teach them to be grateful for the wealth they already possess, not necessarily in currency, but more in health and friendship and more importantly, in family.

Make Every Day Better by Your Decision to Be Happy Before the Day Begins

***Did you know that emotions are programmed or shall I say monitored and controlled by our perceptions? That's nothing that you haven't heard before. I'm sure... Though I can be assured in telling you that nobody or nothing can make you happy- BUT YOU! It is you who chooses, or should choose, to have an emotional outburst, outlook or happy expression.~ Everyday we all experience internal self-talk, decide to be a positive moderator. Talk yourself into remembering your victorious accomplishments and feats and be aware of conditions that challenge your progress.

Leave a lasting impression on yourself and on those that you effect. Everyday it is within your power to decide how you choose to handle situations, or outer events that are experienced,replaced or renewed, by your own actions. Make everyday better simply by your decision to be happy before the day begins! Set an intention daily, decide to grace yourself with thoughts of happiness and great potential for progress! The thoughts that follow will be within your emotional control, and given to you, by your own internal counsel. Your intention and outlook will soar in more winning ways than your imagination can foresee. Don't forget to see the warning signs of past defeats and use the signs as counsel and be vigilant when things are done that cause your stress or warning. Foresight is one of your best defenses and be happy to have it and use it wisely and often.

Foresight and outlook when contemplated and done in finesse bear happiness while reaping calculated success and advantage. If you and me decide to make happiness the tone that we desire to engage daily, then what we reflect, eventually will have a ripple-effect on our way of processing challenging or uncomfortable situations. In a defensive sense, foresight is a warning system that again, is a reason to be happy that your internal talk is helping you to be cautious- to utilize and calculate your fate and decisions wisely.


Be of the greatest service to yourself first. By assured by knowing how you want to feel from day to night. What that does is it convinces your mind that it is so much easier to be kind, content than it is to be critical, impatient or being contentious. Also, be sure to listen to balanced self-talk that is coming to you from your heart and not from your ego or from you mind.

Emotional progress is accomplished through one successful feat, lesson or experience at-a-time. My life experience is different then yours, though as long as you and me know that nobody's life is better than another's it's all about the perception that you choose to invite on a daily basis. Yes, some people appear to have everything, though unless and until you can hear the words of their own thoughts and emotions, you will never really know who is happy and who is in pain. Suffice it to say, take the road to joy and watch yourself and your emotions power-up like a toy soldier does for his owner on Christmas Day! I have been privileged to meet, work with, and to interact with many people of different nationalities and cultures! I keep an open mind to learn how wonderful their perceptions have helped them strive and accomplish their dreams by simply deciding to be happy before their day unfolds...

I enjoy learning from you and from others offering me knowledge continuously!

Social Media Strategy: Become That Which You Desire To See

As I trolled social media this morning I couldn't help but notice how many postings are of a negative nature. Take away the ads (which many of them fill you with fear to buy) and the personal postings of pets and children, and virtually every message we see is negative.

Yet ask anyone if they'd prefer to be a generally negative or positive person and the answer will be overwhelmingly, "positive".

So why do we do it? Why do we not only post such negativity but then, delight in viewing it in such massive quantities?

According to an article in The Telegraph by Lauren Davidson (17 May 2015), "The average person has five social media accounts and spends around 1 hour and 40 minutes browsing these networks every day".

And with so much time spent and so much negativity distributed, it's easy to s
ee how we can become disenchanted and negative too.

We all know people (maybe even ourselves) who get into extended debates on social media about topics that are important but not necessarily topics over which we have control. We debate to reinforce our position and to try to sway others to agree. But rarely does anyone change his or her mind. In the end, we simply get frustrated and become distant.

What good does this accomplish? Aside from stroking our own egos and from having others who agree with us come to our defense it does no good.

And if we endeavor to have a better life (I'm assuming everyone does), wouldn't it just make sense to focus on good things instead of bad?

To suggest we take a social media diet or hiatus is advisable, but not very likely given our proclivity to use it. So how do we fix this trend of negativity?

We must become that which we desire to see. We must understand that we cannot be who we want to be as long as we are who we are.

I've been experimenting for the past month or so with my own social media posting and consumption. Here's what I'm doing, perhaps it can help you.

I do not click on any posting that is political in nature. I know exactly where I stand on the issues. Should I need further knowledge of a topic to form an opinion, I will rely on trusted sources, not on social media postings.I will not respond to anything in any way that is not constructive, supportive, and positive. If I cannot post in a way that will be helpful there's no need for my comment at all. Humor is allowed only to the extent that it does not attempt to influence others to my way of thinking.

I will purposefully find postings which I may comment on in a supportive or encouraging way every time I am on any social platform. Further, I will not leave any platform without making at least one encouraging or supportive post.

I will make my personal and business postings be inspirational and beneficial to those who view it. There are two purposes of posting on social media; To benefit others or to benefit myself. I will create my posts with the benefit of others foremost in my mind.

Finally, I will realize there are plenty of people hurting in the world today that use social media as an outlet for their pain and I'll have empathy for them. I will encourage where I can and will not criticize when I am tempted.
Of course, I haven't been able to avoid negative behavior completely. I fall back into old habits just like everyone else. But what I have experienced has been life-changing.
Since beginning I've seen people have responded to my posting more than ever before. Who knows, maybe everyone has it wrong and people prefer good news.

But most importantly I've seen a change in me. I find my day starts with a lightness of heart that continues throughout the day. I'm more patient and joyous. I'm grateful.

And hopefully, that means a change in those around me as well. For while I know that perception is reality I further know that a smile brings a smile, and good is returned by good.

Give it a try and see for yourself. Only you can become that which you desire.

Message From the Universe: It's About the Right Feeling!

"How about I share a little secret with you in exchange for a nice, toothy smile?

Deal. Here goes... There's someone about to enter your life, either presently alive in time and space, or about to be born, whom you've obviously not yet even met, who will, in short order, fall very, deeply in love with you and the other way around.

Teeth, please - 
The Universe"

Has it happened yet for you? I know it did for me. However, for many others, it will come very very very soon. Why do you think we have so many dating website out there to cater to this need? That is because everything is looking for that magic connection, a chemistry that is very difficult to obtain, a love that is very hard to find. Many navigate through life, connecting with the wrong person, making mistakes and realizing it afterwards. No one can really predict how a relationship will end as many put a nice front in the beginning, then changes afterwards. By that time, a co-dependent relationship is created and it will eventually end really badly. So the question is often asked: "How will I ever know if this is the right person for me?" Many have tried to find the ideal significant other by dating many people and being more aware of odd signs that can and will be detrimental to a healthy relationship. Sometimes, humans will give priority to physical looks and ignore the signs of that person being the wrong one in every aspect. Unless you are just looking for a good time, long term hope with that individual shouldn't be a top priority. It is important to listen to that inner voice that will always guide you the right way and if signs are telling you to run in the opposite direction, I would suggest to tie your shoes and start running fast.

People get attracted to certain others because of the energy signature to exude from their bodies. It is not uncommon to come across similar energy signatures with someone but if you do not cultivate them TOGETHER, these energies will fade out and problems begin. Always focus on how you work together and if someone is looking for a heightened spiritual guidance and the other isn't looking for a similar calling, chances are that the relationship will eventually fail if no one makes the effort to reconnect down the line. It can be challenging to keep these energy signatures following the same parallel path of life as many couples may look for something different as they get older and their need changes. Like anything else in life, if you want something to succeed, you need to work hard at it. Don't fret the little arguments you may have between you and your significant other as they demonstrate that difference of opinions is important to be shared between both parties and as long as it stays to be a healthy argument, you will be able to built a strong foundation for the future.
