WHAT IS KEEPING YOU AWAY FROM A LEADERSHIP ROLE?

Most People Seek After What They Do Not Possess and Are Enslaved By the Very Things They Want To Acquire.

What is keeping you shackled? 

Is it food, cigarettes, drugs, material possessions, self-pity, or, anger? 

The first step towards creating a change or achieving a goal can be frightening, but often times it is the most rewarding move you can ever make. 

We can all improve in some way; we're only a decision away from taking action.  

Only when we're fully committed to while monitoring the process of change, we are able to discover what we're truly capable of. 

If you don't step forward you won't fall; if you won't fall you'll never learn...

It's time to show up as the leader you are.

Set an example for others to follow; be proactive in your thoughts and behavior - it will bring others up to a higher level. 

Be big. Be positive. Be strong. 

Believe In Yourself - YOU  too can win the race of life. 

Start small, think creatively and end BIG!

Never doubt your creativity - we're all creative beings and our true purpose is to bring forth our desired reality. 

We are here to expand, grow, and uncover our unique gifts so that we can give back and be of service to others. 

BECOME A CONSCIOUS CREATOR

We have the power to guide our attention and empower ourselves by changing our thoughts, words and actions. 

It's all a matter of what we CHOOSE to focus on. 

Once we're ready and willing to be a conscious creator, then the spiritual journey begins ...

THE COURAGE TO BE FREE

Courage Isn't Having the Strength to Go On, It’s going on when you Don’t have the Strength. 

Courage, much like a muscle or any new habit, becomes stronger with use - the more we practice, the more it will become ingrained within us. 

We need to overcome our personal limitations and avoid comparing ourselves to anyone else. 

Life is not a contest of who conquers more; it's a question of what we're willing to do in order to get everything we rightfully deserve.  

Believing in yourself is the first step you take towards the realization of your dreams.

Everything starts with a decision, a simple determination - nothing else. 

Once you make up your mind, nothing in your life will ever be the same. 

See obstacles as immaterial, they must be circumvented - only a person who falls several times, has the strength to face the difficulties appearing in their life. 

Do not allow episodes of frustration and disappointment derail you. You are here to fulfill a mission and it must be carried through till the end.  

The next time you're faced with a roadblock, instead of looking at it as an obstacle, think of it as a challenge. 

Then, give it all you’ve got!

LOVE IS ALL ABOUT GIVING

Only With the Heart One Can See Rightly

Why is it that we all have an inclination towards seeing what's wrong with others and always finding reasons to be frustrated with them? 

We must remember that everyone has their limitations and issues they need to work on. 

Sometimes the best thing we can do is to open our hearts and be compassionate. 

The basic difference between being assertive and being aggressive is how our words and behavior affect the rights and wellbeing of others.

If you don't have anything nice to say, it's better to say nothing at all. 

When we come from a place of love, nothing can stand in our way.

Do everything you can to transform from being a receiving person to a giving one. 

Once we come out of our skin and leave behind the need to provide only for ourselves, then our true desire to be there for others will emerge and we can finally say goodbye to negativity.

BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

Why Compare Yourself With Others? No One in the Entire World Can Do a Better Job of Being You.

Trust yourself, believe in yourself, and be all that you can be - even the sky is not the limit. 

Limitations exist only in our minds. 

Free Your Potential and Create Success

Success = knowledge, innate abilities, and acquired skills. 

The most crucial ingredient is having faith in oneself. 

Anyone can be a magician and create something out of nothing. 

There Are No Short Cuts to Any Place worth Going. 

If there's something you really want to accomplish, take the time to do it right; it will be worth the effort in the end.

Begin with your imagination to form new ideas, images, and concepts - use it to create a reality worth having. 

It really does work. 

IN THE STILLNESS

Magic Appears When You Leave Behind the Limitations of Your Comfort Zone, and You Dare To Embark On a Journey into the Unknown.

You know you've recreated yourself when you reach absolute stillness and you're in a state of "love your neighbor as you do yourself." 

That is when you have achieved a monumental change - no one bothers you anymore. 

You've disconnected yourself from the past, from what was, and you are now crossing over to what will be - the future. 

You've taken responsibility and you no longer have complaints about anyone. 

You become one with all creation. 

Anything is possible because you are a creator. 

If you don't let go of the runway, you won't be able to take off beyond the horizon...

Make an attempt to explore what has not yet been discovered.

SANCTITY OF LIFE

A Healthy Body Is A Guest-chamber For the Soul; A Sick Body Is a Prison

Whether you're among those who believe in the existence of a soul, or whether you aren’t, you still cannot remain oblivious to the fact that if you don't take care and maintain your physical health, your body will eventually cease to exist. 

Do everything in your power to ensure, protect, and maintain your health in the best way possible. 

If you want to live your life medicine free, love and honor yourself and others. 

Liberate yourself: take full responsibility for how you feel and think, and you’ll begin to no longer place blame on anyone else. 

Be accountable for your thoughts and feelings, fulfill your purpose - become the creator of your own desired reality. 

See yourself as a "high priest" and home as your temple - you will invoke feelings of love, respect, and appreciation. 

In a sacred place, there are words that are not to be said; tone of voice is kept pleasant and demeanor remains respectful - true sanctity. 

IN PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Find the courage needed to be happy ...

In order to empower yourself, you need to do the things that you are most fearful of. 

Once you overcome fear and conquer your personal demons, transformation will occur - you will feel invincible and the way to your goals will be paved. 

It's time to STEP UP!

 

Wake up each morning and CHOOSE to have a good, positive day – say it to yourself and it will happen.

"Find the Strength and Hope to Believe that in Time You Will Emerge from Your Cocoon... Transformed."

As we all go through an on-going process of change and transformation, our attention and focus shouldn't be on the discomfort we experience, but rather on what is being born out of it all - the emergence of our new, and improved version.

It's time to realize that we are the ones who are in control of our own destiny - enough with the excuses; become the master of your life.

The pursuit of happiness should not be a pursuit... it's within us, it's an internal uncovering.

IF IT'S GOING TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME

Be happy first because you CAN and practice until it becomes a habit. 

Be aware of the many  blessings in your life - be grateful.  

Be willing to see things differently - reframe situations in a positive light.

Have faith that everything happens for your highest best.   

Be accepting, loving and kind to yourself and others.  

Find your passion and your purpose will follow 

Share your Light with the world around you ✨ 💞

 

THE EVIL EYE... IS IT REAL?

What Is The Evil Eye?

The evil eye is a term used to describe the process of being afflicted by negative/low energetic vibrations from another person. 

The other person can afflict us with the evil eye intentionally or unintentionally. 

Who can be affected by the evil eye? Only the ones who are afraid of it can be. 

A person himself produces bad luck - negative/low energetic vibrations. 

There's really no one to blame. Just as nobody can insert darkness where there is light, no one can cause you harm if you do not invite it to yourself first. 

Who determines how much light you have? 

The quality of your life is determined by YOUR subjective interpretation of the external circumstances you experience.  

Only you can change whether you experience darkness or light. 

GIVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY

"The true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good." 

Ann landers

Life Is a Cycle where Everyone Has Something to Give. 

We all have something to GIVE - give with no strings attached and with no hidden agenda. 

Think of it as an exchange of energy. 

It's not possible to be depleted of giving - the more you give the more you get. 

What you give to one person, you will receive from a different source. 

Don’t give with the expectation of receiving back from the same person you give to.

Know that it will always come back to you from the never ending universal reservoir. 

Give wholeheartedly - spread your love wherever you go.  

THE POWER OF CURIOSITY

Developing a sense of wonder can be a reward in itself ....

In order for us not to be stuck in the rat race, chasing the same things over and over again, our curiosity needs to be exercised. 

If we don't ask questions and rather take things at face value, progression and self-development won't come about. 

We are the most intelligent animal around and our minds were meant to make us inquisitive - the brain is there to be utilized so we can gain more knowledge. 

Otherwise we will not grow and never feel truly fulfilled. 

Allow yourself to create an openness to unfamiliar experiences, and greater opportunities to discover joy and delight.

Let your curiosity work its magic and allow yourself to see your life through a new prospective and potential not yet realized. 

You never know, you may find in yourself the person you have been searching for; if you don't try you won't know...

THE WORLD IS A NARROW BRIDGE

"The whole world is a very narrow bridge, and the most important thing is not to fear at all."

Rabbi Nachman 

There's nothing to fear but fear itself. 

If endless joy, unlimited happiness, and enthusiasm are always before one’s eyes; then why be afraid? 

What fills the mind fills the heart as well. 

Your thoughts lead to your feelings, which then move you into action - that inevitably determined your fate in life. 

 

FINDING YOUR POWER

Every Oak Tree Was Once an Acorn

We all begin our journey as seeds. Within us lays the potential to be who we want to be - if we have the will or the desire for something, that means it is already there... waiting to be uncovered. 

The universe was created for us to take advantage of the abilities within us, so we can bring to fruition the life we want. 

Think of it as if you are a young child entering an immense room filled with games and all the toys you could ever dream of having, right there in front of you. 

All you have to do is decide on the toy you want, reach for it and grab it. Claim it, it's yours!

Our purpose on earth is to move the wheels of our ongoing internal evolution; each moment of everyday has within it the potential to give birth to another change, one step at a time.

YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR REALITY

Long ago a righteous man, came to his rabbi seeking advice about how to rid himself of the constant bothersome thoughts he's been having.

Unfortunately the rabbi he went to could not help, but knew of a rabbi, who lives in a distant city, that can help him.

Time had passed, being he couldn't bear his affliction any longer, the righteous man decided to take his rabbi's advice, in his quest to lessen his burden.

After a long cumbersome journey, in freezing temperatures, the man had finally arrived at the door step of the rabbi who he had believed has the key to his salvation. 

He could see through the window some folks around a table, enjoying a delicious, hot soup.

The righteous man was hungry, shivering and wet to the bone. 

He knocked at the door, but no one answered.

He knocked again - no answer. 

He knocked several more times, until he finally gave up, curled into a ball, and went to sleep right there at the doorstep. 

A few minutes had passed, and suddenly the door was opened by an elderly man. 

The righteous man jumped up and said: why didn't you open the door to your house when I knocked? 

The frail old man said, this is to show you that when you are the master of your kingdom/home/body/soul, YOU decide who enters your home and who stays out. 

You came to me because you cannot seem to get rid of your "bothersome thoughts, yes?"

Yes. The man answered.

Well, it's really very simple, although I heard you knocking, I still chose not to answer the door, similarly, you also do not have to allow any thoughts that don't  bring you some kind of benefit, to enter your mind, fester and cause nothing but havoc. 

Likewise, we decide who we welcome into our domain: we choose our thoughts.

We have the ability, like no other animal on this earth, to imagine the feelings we wish to have, bringing them to life - that's our jobs as creators. 

A creator is someone who takes responsibility for his inner world - he is driven by his desire to resolve his inner conflict between good and evil. 

REINVENT YOURSELF

Reinvent Yourself Everyday

Self-reflection and the desire to elevate oneself is a necessary practice if one wishes to come upon higher levels of thought and action. 

Push yourself - search for ways to reach a new level in whatever it is you are currently doing. 

Don't take yourself too seriously - joy is not found in the world around you, it's found within yourself.

Be like a chameleon, slip into change - it doesn't take much to create change in your life. One little action will get the job done; SHIFT the way you look at things.

Live up to your true potential - explore your possibilities and make your mark on the world.  

There's no sense in crying over what once was. Brush yourself off and leave only the dust behind. 

Search for new opportunities awaiting you just around the corner. 

Remember, your future is what you decide to make of it - make it worthwhile.

BOTTOMLESA PIT

If you fell Into a Pit, What Would You Do?

Once upon a time in a small village, there was a donkey that fell into a pit. 

The donkey tried with all his might to come out, but wasn't able to do so despite all his efforts. 

The villagers came to the scene, tried with all their forces to rescue him, but failed. 

Finally, they took pity on him and decided to fill in the hole with dirt and put him out of his misery - to bury. 

Whenever there was dirt poured on him, he simply shook it off his back and climbed on top of it. 

The donkey climbed higher and higher until he was able to step out of the pit on its own. 

What is the moral to this story? 

Even when dirt is thrown at you, you're the one who decides what to do with it. 

You can either let it stick to you or transcend above it and move on. 

If you fell into a hole in the ground what would you do? 

Ultimately, it's your choice! 

That is what defines the difference between people who are high achievers and those who give up. 

A successful person understands that he is the one who creates his own reality with his own hands.

Therefore, whatever happens to you needs your attention - watch it carefully until you find a way to be victorious. 

Until you stop blaming others for what happens to you and instead look for a solution to your problems, you'll stay exactly in the same place...

BELIEVE

When you believe, you inevitably uncover...

Having faith allows you to discover that with hard work, patience and certainty, you can sail away to the unknown, just by trusting. 

Trust gives you the freedom to be more open minded, more relaxed, and accepting.

You learn to refrain from taking things personally.

You become open to consider other ways of thinking, and learning; you develop curiosity.

You hear yourself say, interesting points of view, I wonder why I think this way? 

You become more peaceful and happy. 

You become more playful and laugh more often.

You allow yourself to love unconditionally and readily receive love, because you choose to free yourself.

When you believe in yourself and trust that everything in the universe works in an impeccable order, you become a better person and affect everyone around you in a more positive way.

Believe and return back to who you truly are ~

HAPPINESS IS ... YOUR CHOICE

You don't need to be spiritual, or New Age-ee, in order to take a break from it ALL and look intimately within. 

Being happy doesn't mean everything in your life is perfect. It means you allow happiness to live and fester in your heart. 

Have enough love and care for yourself, to consciously CHOOSE to distance yourself from anything that no longer serves you, contributes to your growth or, makes you happy. 

Your happiness is what counts most, because, if you don't choose to be happy, no one can make you happy.

APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE NOW

I have spent the last two weeks, both night and day, with my mother in the hospital. She has been under close medical care for over thirty days, from a fall which required major surgery. 

I've been tending to her, doing my best to help her recover back to health.

I find myself thinking about how precious the gift of life is.

Most of us take our health for granted and we don't really invest time in thinking about the impermanence of life; how it can end at any given moment... 

Invariably, we spend most of our days thinking about our daily troubles and difficulties, instead of enjoying the love we share with others, not to mention all the beauty and goodness existing around us.

We often don't think of expressing to our loved ones how much we truly treasure them.

I feel I've been given a second chance with my mother; unfortunately, I cannot say the same about my late father, may he rest in peace.

I talk to my mother about things I would have never thought of sharing with her, cherishing each and every moment.

I find myself closer to her than I have ever been.

Is there a price tag on that? 

It's as if I was meant to be there, to connect with her more deeply, whilst listening to her sharing  her life story with me.

Amazing ...

How fortunate am I to be able to look at her from a completely different point of view. To see things I have not seen before...

I treasure my time with my mother, because I know every minute counts ...

Don't wait until "something happens" or else God forbid, you may not have another chance. 

Tell the people that you love how you feel about them. Spend as much time as you can nurturing and cultivating the relationships that are important to you.

You may not get another opportunity, when you finally realize what you've missed.

Appreciate what you have now, not after it's long gone...

MEN AND WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER

Today is the International Women's Day. It is a day women all across the globe celebrate their achievements in both past and present. 

Women's Day honors and celebrates great contribution and success. 

To me, women's day serves as a reminder of all that can still be accomplished. Not necessarily separately from men, but rather together with them. 

Think about what this world would be like if we only believed in our ability to be all that we can be together as one... 

We need not look for what sets us apart or makes us different from the "male world", but rather rejoice and put an emphasis on our commonalities. 

Although I may cause some to "raise their eyebrows" in contempt, I do not feel women need to strive for equality. 

I do however feel we need to search for more ways we can work jointly with our men partners; collaborate more, bring our strengths, attentiveness, intuition, sensitivity, emotional intelligence, etc, to the table.

Teach each other, promote one another in order to create a better world for us to live in more harmoniously.

We need to forget about "men" and "women" titles that only end up creating a sense of separation and competition, and instead focus our attention on consolidation and cooperation. 

We need to rearrange our agendas and create an international day that celebrates male and female energies working together in unison.  

We need to invest in tomorrow's world, we need to invest in renewed energy that will benefit us all. 

So what do you think, can we do it?
