10 Common Misconceptions About Success

  1. Some people can’t be successful because of their background, education, etc. Anybody can be successful. It’s a matter of wanting to, then doing what it takes to achieve it.
  2. Successful people don’t make mistakes. Successful people make mistakes just like we all do. They just don’t repeat them.
  3. You’ve got to work 60 (70, 80, 90…)hours a week to be successful. It’s not a matter of doing A LOT of something. It’s more about doing the right thing.
  4. You’ll only be a success if you play by the rules. Who makes up the rules, anyway? Each situation is different. Sometimes following the rules is needed, other times making up your own rules is what is required.
  5. If you have help along the way, it’s not success. Success rarely occurs in a vacuum. Recognize the people who help you become successful; there are plenty of them.
  6. It takes a lot of luck to be successful. Sure, it takes “some” luck to be successful. It takes a lot more hard work, diligence, knowledge, and application.
  7. It’s only success if you make a lot of money. Money is just one of the many benefits to success, but it’s not guaranteed.
  8. It’s only success if everybody knows it. You may think that the more money and the more accolades, the more people know about what you’ve done. But, even if you were the only one who knew it, you’d still be a success.
  9. Success is a goal. Success is more what you get when you achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself. Saying that you “want to be a success” begs the question “at what?”
  10. Once I’m successful, my troubles are over. You may be successful, but you’ll still have the ups and downs that you did before. Enjoy what success you achieve and live each day as it comes.

Seasons of Transformation

Just as leaves change in the longer, cooler autumn nights, so do we as people transform in the autumn of our life.  If you look at Mother Nature, you will see that She does not mourn the passage of time and seasons.  Quite the contrary … She celebrates them!  Our lives also have seasons of change, transformation, if you will.  Each Season of our life is just as important as the one before!

We must celebrate each season, each transformation in life, in the same way as each season announces and heralds the arrival of a different stage in nature.  Celebrate the hibernation or gestation of Winter, where activity in nature is often covered by a blanket of snow, and if we are aware, we can see the small changes and growth each day.  We all eagerly await the signs of what is coming next.  This time is in preparation of our birth, not only of our body, but also of our life. 

Then comes Spring, ready to burst forth with life, bringing with it new life!  Much like nature, our lives burst forth with amazing energy! You might want to think of Spring as the early childhood years, when we are constantly growing and changing, springing forth with new ideas and accomplishments. Every day brings fresh excitement.

When Summer arrives, it is with a splash of bold colors!  How colorful have the Summer years of your life been?  Some may have been busy raising a family, carefully tending over those you love, nurturing your life every step of the way.  Our lives may have Summer storms or heat waves, but we make it through, emerging stronger than ever.  It is during the Summer of our lives that we create many relationships that we will take with to the next Season of Life, Autumn. 

We may find ourselves feeling down as we approach the Autumn of our life, forgetting that Autumn is truly a time of great celebrations and spectacular colors! When we are in the Autumn of our Life, it is definitely the time of celebration.  Mother Nature celebrates with all the colors of nature coming together for an amazing symphony, a splash of red here, a streak of orange there, the accent of green peeking through the yellows and browns.  Time for harvest, celebrations, festivities, gathering of people we love.  In some ways, it’s as if Mother Nature saves the best for last!! 

If is often during this time that the biggest Transformations of our lives take place.  We think clearer, speak with more intent, and step into our power.  We take the time to sort and sift through so many areas of our lives.  This is often a time where we reevaluate relationships, not only people but work and environment, and start to make changes, moving toward what is healthier for us.  We become increasingly aware that if you spend a lot of time around a toxic friend, family member, co-worker or colleague, or in a toxic environment, it can do real damage to your health AND happiness!  This is a time to take look at the relationships you have and removing the ones that leave you exhausted, stressed out, sick of all the drama (you know the ones!), sad, insecure and taken advantage of. 

Scientific studies are showing that unhealthy relationships can be just as bad as fast food or toxic chemicals, leading to stress, depression, anxiety, and even heart disease. Removing toxicities from your life releases energy to thoroughly enjoy and embrace the Transformations of your Autumn Years.  You’ll be amazed at how much lighter and brighter your body – and your outlook – will be.  You’ll be amazed at how this Transformation helps you Celebrate and Embrace the Autumn of your Life.

If I Hold the Key, Why Isn’t the Door Unlocking?

          Many times, we feel that we should be able to unlock any door in our lives because we hold the key.  Yes, you hold the key, your very special, one-of-a-kind personalized life key.  The problem is that you have to use the key, not just sit there and hold it.  Be in life.  Be part of the solution.  Be active in it.  This is your life.  You’re the director, the artist, the one who determines which doors you will approach and which doors you will not approach.  Are you living inside the bubble of fear and/or denial?  Are you ready to use your key? Sometimes that isn’t enough.  Sometimes there are reasons why the door doesn’t unlock.

 

1.  Is there a lack of doorways?

Could it be that the door is outside of your Divine awareness?  If you’re looking down a hallway and there’s no doors, then you need to set an intention or remove the veil that prevents you from seeing the doors that have always been there.  The Law of Attraction says that your energy and mindset are metaphysical aspects of manifesting that help create and identify the doorways.  “When you follow your bliss, doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors and where there wouldn’t be a door for anyone else.”  (Joseph Campbell). 

 

2.  The key doesn’t fit.

Are you trying to unlock the wrong door?  It could be that the key doesn’t fit because it isn’t your door. Sometimes people think that all doors are theirs and that because they can see it, it must be their door, it must open today, it must happen in the moment.

 

What are you looking for?  When you align your will with Divine will, you release the negative energy of not getting what you wanted.  So many people want to do things that aren’t in their highest good.  They say or think “I want to do this” and then it doesn’t happen.  Take your free will, unite it with the will of the Divine, and then every door that you need opens.  Just because you think you can sing doesn’t make it happen.  So often, people try to do things that aren’t in their highest good.  Could be it’s not your door, not your time.  Manifestation is about aligning your desire with Divine providence.

 

3.  Adjust your key

Did you ever have a key that didn’t work?  It seems that there are so many different nuances to opening up a lock.  You turn it to the right, and it doesn’t work.  You wiggle it, you jiggle it.  You walk away and say ,”My key isn’t working.”  Need a new key?  Maybe not.  Having the key made at a local hardware store might be convenient, but it may not be the best choice.  Manifestation is about going to the Source.  Keep going back to the approach of your manifestation, regroup, re-intend.  Look at it from a different perspective.  If you want something and it doesn’t happen, do you give up and quit or do you take a step back and look at it from a different perspective?  Let go of the attachment and connect more with Divine will and Divine intention.  That’s a part of adjustment.  Put it on hold, create or work on other things. You’re still working while you are moving forward.  Sometimes we even have to go sideways!  When you want something desperately, let go of the attachment of it and be willing to keep doing whatever you can while you’re intending it.

 

 

 

Being Truly Spectacular

You may find it hard to believe, but spectacularity, achieving more than you ever dreamed, is more than just a possibility. It is your birth right to achieve all that you can dream. Although it is the natural state of people, many typically fall short of achieving spectacularity. Some may think they don’t deserve it, that being spectacular is for others, not for them. Some may think that they couldn’t possibly be spectacular. Others don’t know how to achieve it. What stops you from being truly spectacular?

Fear, and its constant companion, lack of confidence, plague the road to spectacularity, creating an endless path of sharp curves, speed bumps and hurdles. A root cause of fear is the misconception that you are alone and powerless, that you will not succeed. Often, ego, the false mask of fear, tags along for the ride, but this false mask serves no useful purpose. The interesting thing about ego is that ego-driven thoughts, beliefs and behaviors can be challenged and discarded, like a pair of worn out shoes or an old coat, at any time you choose. The choice to discard, however, an only be made when you are willing to admit that ego serves no useful purpose. This is a giant step and a continuing challenge on the journey toward being truly spectacular. The antidote to fear, lack of confidence, self-sabotage and ego is the dawning discovery that you are not alone, but rather, that you are intimately connected to an immense reservoir of power that is the Spiritual Universe and that you have within you a great power to be truly spectacular. Not only do you have the power to be truly spectacular, but you also have the right to be amazingly spectacular.

Are you a procrastinator? Many are. Thinking about doing rather than actually doing – or inaction instead of action – is what unfulfilled dreams are made of. When you settle for less than you hoped or dreamed for, you are in essence saying to the world, “It’s OK – I don’t deserve better.” Nonsense! Each and every one of us deserves all the best that the Universe has to offer. When you settle, you give away your personal power and just accept whatever comes your way, you become a volunteer victim. Interestingly, procrastination rhymes with stagnation, and the similarities don’t end there. The antidote to procrastination is a single word: action. Achieving spectacularity lies in this simple rule: Set an intention of being spectacular. Start from where you are and take one step at a time. The journey of a thousand miles starts with that first step, no matter how small that step is. It may be scary, but you can do it. Dare to be spectacular!

Those who are spectacular focus on a clear sharp vision while maintaining a solid grounding of full present awareness and involvement. They practice the art of mindfulness, fully being in the here and now, fully being in the present. Vision is the energy that adds inspiration and ease to action. Vision is the solid conviction that you are about something really important, even though you may not be certain what it is. One of the great paradoxes of life is that, in order to fulfill your vision, it is often necessary to let go of any attachment to a particular result or outcome. When we hold on to a specific result, we give away or may even block the potential of even greater things coming our way. When you release the expectation of a specific outcome, it makes way for the Universe to send the most amazing energy and experiences your way. Commitment, another part of being truly spectacular, is a function of vision, not will. Rely on will, and commitment is sporadic at best. This becomes easier if you can realize that, at a higher level, you are engaged in a grand design in which the full pursuit of process ensures a right result. Being flexible is a path toward being truly spectacular.

The journey to becoming truly spectacular is not without risks. To risk is to be willing to sacrifice that which is comfortable, that which is familiar, and that of which you are sure. To risk involves relying on one’s own measure of success rather than on society’s measures. Often, society’s measures of success are material, transitory, showy and foolish. Society appears to have taken the notion that goals should be concrete and tangible to ridiculous extremes. Relying on one’s own measure of success leads toward being truly spectacular. While on one level, risk-taking involves uncertainty, at a higher level, it involves trust, the trust that you will be guided, step by step. Trust is necessary in order to be truly spectacular. Trust and faith in what is coming your way means that you know you will receive whatever is perfect for you, whenever it is the perfect time to receive it. Spectacularity depends on our willingness to accept that our Spiritual heritage is all good. As a prelude to discovering your own great uniqueness and spectacularity, you need to accept the possibility that it is so! This is what makes you truly spectacular!

My Wishes for Your New Year

As 2015 draws near, these are some of my wishes for you…

…may you be IN life, not OF life. Memories are created and woven into the tapestry of our lives by fully participating in life and experiencing them.

…may you love yourself more fully than you have ever loved someone else, for it is only by loving yourself can you truly love another.

…may you see yourself as perfect just the way you are. You are a magnificent gift to the world and you are one-of-a-kind perfection.

…may you find peace and joy in your life. Be patient with yourself as you would have with another. Everybody struggles. Everybody goes through difficulties at one time or another. Be kind to yourself, and you show the world that you are to be treated with respect and kindness.

…may you find the inner strength to do that which you think you cannot do. You are stronger than you think. Believe in yourself!

…may you celebrate the many transitions that life presents, no matter how large, no matter how small, no matter how challenging they may have been. Celebrate your life.

With best wishes for the coming year,

Beyond Forgive and Forget

We have often heard the words “Forgive and Forget”. What part do they play in your daily life?

We face disappointments and daily events that, in order to move forward in life, need to be forgiven. Our partners, our friends, and even the world at large, may hurt us through their words or actions. While it isn’t always intentional, it hurts just the same. When such deep emotional pain is placed in your life, how do you forgive and forget? For some, the burden of this event can be with you 24 hours a day, hanging onto your every breath, filling your every waking moment. How could you possibly forget what happened when your life is so changed…and you didn’t even have a say in it? For some, hurt is etched indelibly on your mind, in your memory. How can you possibly forgive them? The pain becomes a part of you, a compass for each day. This pain can also invade and take over your every waking moment, if you allow it.

If you allow it. You see, you do have a choice in the matter.

How does one forgive something when often the unkind act is purposeful and maliciously intended? How do we go through life and say “Yes, I forgive you” for altering the course of my life, for shattering the trust I had in you, in my world, in mankind, for taking someone who I hold dear to my heart, for acts that are so unkind.

Forgiveness does not mean that you accept inappropriate behavior towards yourself. It means that you are no longer prepared to carry the pain of reaction within you, and that is when you can begin the healing process. Take away the power of the act and regain, reclaim your own personal power. Holding on to the pain can set you up for stabs of bitterness. Let go of the substance of the pain that stops you from living a life of unlimited joy and love.

The mere act of releasing the negative feelings of the past is empowering. This release makes room within your heart to truly love and fully live once again. Release this pain and you will break the chains that bind you to the past, to the act. Release the pain by asking for it to be healed without any negative repercussions in all directions, past, present or future.

This act of forgiveness does not only pertain to large events in your world. A friend says a careless word, a partner does something that hurts you, your child hurts you. We easily brush off the little things in life, but it seems that the bigger the hurt, the deeper the emotional tie to the event or person, the harder it is to forgive. Let it go. When you hold on to unforgiveness, you are only hurting yourself. Often, the one who hurt you, the person who you “cannot possibly forgive”, goes on with their life as if nothing happened. You keep yourself chained to a wall in a cage with the invisible chain of unforgiveness. You have the power to break that self-imposed chain. Open the door of the cage you put yourself in. The door, the cage, the chain were never really there. They existed only in your mind and as such, you can move them out of your way at any time.

You see, you do have a choice in the matter.

Forget? What does it mean to you? Forget can mean that you stop thinking about something, that you put it out of your mind, or that you put it behind you. As humans, we hopefully learn from our mistakes, from events in our lives, from the mistakes of others. The event may forever be a part of your memory, but it doesn’t have to rule your life. You deserve to feel happy and have love and joy. Learn from the mistake, and move forward. Letting it weigh you down keeps you from fully experiencing and living the life you were meant to live.

How effectively and safely would you drive your car if you only looked in the rearview mirror and never looked out the windshield? Sure, we must use that rearview mirror from time to time, as well as the side mirrors, which give us a different perspective of the past. We learn about our future by looking at the past, but we can’t get stuck in the past. Life can only be explained by looking backwards, but it must be lived forward.

When you think about it, we have four different kinds of sight that can help us see life through different perspectives. We have eyesight. Another word for this would be our vision. It allows us to safely and effectively navigate our way within the physical world. We have hindsight…that’s always 20/20, of course. Hindsight gives us retrospection, a perception or observation of the past. We have foresight, a forethought that hopefully helps us to not do the same thing, make the same mistake, in the future. Perhaps the most important sight we have, though, is insight. Insight is that ability to really see and intuitively understand the problem at hand. It is that little light that goes on in our minds, that “aha” moment we’ve all experienced. Insight is what helps us find solutions and move beyond. Insight is what helps us move forward in life.

Forgive and forget? You see, you really do have a choice in the matter.

What To Do About the Holiday Blues

Not everyone shares in the celebration and joy associated with the holidays.  Many people feel stressed and unhappy in response to the demands of shopping for gifts, spending large amounts of money, attending parties and family gatherings, and entertaining houseguests. It is not uncommon to react to these stresses with excessive drinking and eating, difficulty sleeping, and physical complaints.  The holiday blues are a common result.  If you experience reactions like these during the holidays, you are not alone. Let’s take a look at what causes the holiday blues and what you can do about them.

 

Going through a difficult life transition. For many, going through a life changing transition (such as divorce, moving, new job, unexpected life changes and new responsibilities) can cast a sadness over the festivities.  It’s hard to be happy or cordial when you feel sad or lonely.  The last think you want to hear about is someone else’s happiness or joy.  It’s important to understand that these feelings are very normal and although they can be extremely painful, it is a part of the process of healing.

Fear of disappointing others.  Some people fear disappointing their loved ones during the holidays.  Even though they can’t afford to spend a lot of money on gifts, some people feel so obligated to come through with a fancy gift that they spend more than they can afford.

Expecting that gifts will improve relationships.  Giving someone a nice present won’t necessarily strengthen a friendship or romantic relationship.  When your gifts don’t produce the responses you had hoped for, you may feel let down.

Anniversary reactions.  If someone important to you passed away or left you during a past holiday season, you may become depressed as the anniversary approaches.

Bad memories.  For some families, the holidays are times of chaos and confusion.  This is especially true in families where people have substance abuse problems or dysfunctional ways of relating to each other.  If this was true in your family in past years, you may always carry memories of the disappointment and upheaval that come with the holidays.  Even though things may be better now, it is difficult to forget the times when your holidays were ruined by substance abuse and family dysfunction.

 It could be SAD.  People who live in northern states may experience depression during the winter because of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).  SAD results from fewer hours of sunlight as the hours of daylight grow shorter during the winter months.  After the winter solstice (December 21), the daylight hours start to grow longer again.

 Strategies for dealing with the holiday blues

While the holiday blues are usually temporary, these ideas can help make this year’s holiday experience more pleasant and less stressful:

 Be realistic.  Don’t expect the holiday season to solve all past problems.  The forced cheerfulness of the holiday season cannot ward off sadness or loneliness.

 Drink less alcohol and watch what you eat.  Even though drinking alcohol gives you a temporary feeling of well-being, it is a depressant and never makes anything feel better.  Holiday eating can also stress a person out.

 Give yourself permission not to feel cheerful.  Accept how you are feeling.  If you have recently experienced a loss, you can’t expect yourself to put on a happy face.  Tell others how you are feeling and what you need.  It’s OK to not feel cheerful or like celebrating. 

 Have a spending limit and stick to it.  Look for holiday activities that are free, such as driving around to look at holiday decorations.  Go window-shopping without purchasing anything.  Look for ways to show people you care without spending a lot.

 Be honest.  Express your feelings to those around you in a constructive, honest and open way.  If you need to confront someone with a problem, begin your sentences with “I feel”.

 Look for sources of support.  Learn about offerings at mental health centers, churches, and synagogues.  Many of these have special support groups, workshops, and other activities designed to help people deal with the holiday blues.  Connect with your inner self and the Universe around you.

 Give yourself special care.  Schedule times to relax and pamper yourself.  Take a warm bath or spend an evening with a hot cup of herbal tea and a good book.

 Set limits and priorities.  Be realistic about what you will be able to accomplish.  Prepare a To-Do list to help you arrange your priorities.

 Volunteer your time.  If you are troubled because you won’t be seeing your family, volunteer to work at a hospital or food bank.  Volunteering can help raise your spirits by turning your focus to people who are less fortunate than you are.

 Get some exercise.  Exercise has a positive impact on depression because it boosts serotonin levels.  Try to get some type of exercise at least twice each week.

 After the holidays

 For some people, holiday blues continue into the new year.  This is often caused by leftover feelings of disappointment during the holiday season and being physically exhausted.  The blues also happen for some people because the start of a new year is a time of reflection, which can produce anxiety.  If these feelings of the blues continue for longer than a couple of weeks after the holidays, it may be more than the holiday blues.  A mental health professional can help determine your need for counseling and/or medication.

The Alchemy of Intentions

 Alchemy is the magical power or process of changing common into something very valuable. Add some magic to your life by changing your every day interactions with others into wonderful experiences. The Alchemy of Intention shows you how you can turn an ordinary day into one of amazing abundance.

I believe that first you set an intention, then the manifestation will arrive.  I also believe that manifestation is all about aligning your desire with Divine providence. When that happens, the magic of Spirit becomes a heart song like no other.

 Setting intentions.  We talk about it, but do we realize just how many times and opportunities there are in the day to set an intention not only in your  head but to actually say it out loud for all to hear?  I find myself repeating the intention of having a spectacular day time and time again throughout the day. 

 The cashier at the store says, “Have a good day!”.  The attendant cleaning up around the gas pumps says “Hope it’s a good one!”.  The server at your local restaurant writes “Have a good day” on your check.  It’s all around us, but what does “Have a good day” mean to you?? 

 To me, it’s an opportunity to set an intention for the manifestation of a wonderful day, a day chock-full of love and people and experiencing pure joy in every moment.  My response is always “That’s my plan!” or “That’s my intention!”  People just smile and say, “Oh that’s nice.”  Many don’t realize that if you intend it, you will manifest it.

 Then there’s  “How are you?” or “How are you doing?”, questions asked with very few actually listening to the answer.  I respond with “Magnificent” or “Spectacular” or even better, “I am stellar!!”  A response, or intention, like that invites manifestation of a magnificent or spectacular or stellar day.  It draws attention because it’s beyond the usual response.    I regularly invite people to also be magnificent or spectacular or, yes, even stellar.  Most will say, “I like that!”  When you do this, you have successfully set the intention for your day, for this moment, and have also shared your heart song with someone else. 

 These conversations around me made me think about intentions.  The quote  “Carpe diem”….”seize the day!” comes to mind.  How many times are we given opportunities to seize the day but we don’t grab onto it?  Seize the day and pass it on.  It really isn’t that hard at all.  Hold the door for someone.  Smile at a complete stranger.  There’s nothing quite like observing someone’s face turn from no particular expression into a great big smile….all because somebody acknowledged them!  Compliment someone.  It doesn’t cost anything, and it can enhance someone’s life a hundredfold.  Manners cost nothing, and yet there sometimes seems to be a scarcity of them around.  Share yours!

 How many opportunities during the day can you find to set an intention?  Each and every day, I intend to share the magic of Spirit and sing a heart song .  I intend to share love and great feelings with all who come in contact with me.  Everyday.  Every way I can find.  If I intend it, I will manifest it.  Remember, only you can sing your clear, sweet heart song in your own way.  Start now.

If I Hold the Key, Why Isn’t the Door Unlocking?

      Many times, we feel that we should be able to unlock any door in our lives because we hold the key.  Yes, you hold the key, your very special, one-of-a-kind personalized life key.  The problem is that you have to use the key, not just sit there and hold it.  Be in life.  Be part of the solution.  Be active in it.  This is your life.  You’re the director, the artist, the one who determines which doors you will approach and which doors you will not approach.  Are you living inside the bubble of fear and/or denial?  Are you ready to use your key? Sometimes that isn’t enough.  Sometimes there are reasons why the door doesn’t unlock.

 1.  Is there a lack of doorways?

 2.  The key doesn’t fit.

Are you trying to unlock the wrong door?  It could be that the key doesn’t fit because it isn’t your door. Sometimes people think that all doors are theirs and that because they can see it, it must be their door, it must open today, it must happen in the moment.

 3.  Adjust your key

Did you ever have a key that didn’t work?  It seems that there are so many different nuances to opening up a lock.  You turn it to the right, and it doesn’t work.  You wiggle it, you jiggle it.  You walk away and say ,”My key isn’t working.”  Need a new key?  Maybe not.  Having the key made at a local hardware store might be convenient, but it may not be the best choice.  Manifestation is about going to the Source.  Keep going back to the approach of your manifestation, regroup, re-intend.  Look at it from a different perspective.  If you want something and it doesn’t happen, do you give up and quit or do you take a step back and look at it from a different perspective?  Let go of the attachment and connect more with Divine will and Divine intention.  That’s a part of adjustment.  Put it on hold, create or work on other things. You’re still working while you are moving forward.  Sometimes we even have to go sideways!  When you want something desperately, let go of the attachment of it and be willing to keep doing whatever you can while you’re intending it.
