Deal with problems along the way.

Things in our lives can cause us to change our course.  I have been experiencing changes for the past two years as I have been prevented from working as a Registered Nurse even though the charges filed against me didn't stick.  Such is the system of unfairness and tyranny that our country has been subjected to by our government and the people are waking up to what is happening like never before!

You have to ask yourself what type of person you are?  Do you sit on the side lines while others dictate how your life should be played out like some game?  I am determined and will turn every situation into an opportunity because that is my choise.  It may take a while to reconstruct my life but it's unfolding for me as I write.  My core values center on whole health and for that reason I am just starting to promote a natural health product of antioxidants http://myrain.me/rita and I invite you to look at this site and let me know your thoughts. 

If you find yourself in a situation like mine where you are a professional but unable to work in your chosen field try to identify your values and find a field where you feel comfortable providing a particular service or product to a certain population.  You may be thinking about making some changes to your eating habits as well as increasing exercise.  Think about how you might be able to include others in your own personal project.  Start a blog and set up a group to join you.  Reach out to others and mentor them through the steps you are taking in your life for your health and well being.  Include spirituality in all that you do. 

You can either view your circumstances as an adversity or an opportunity to expand your knowledge and experience and earn more money.  Always frame your new life within a positive context.  The more you practice positivity the more you will draw positive people and circumstances into your life.  This is called the law of attraction.  My teacher once said to repeat to yourself silently inside as you walk "I'm so lucky...I'm so lucky..," over and over again.  Our subconscious mind then follows what you are feeding it to do and that is to send out positive vibrations with your heart and soul in unison.  Read books on the subject of prosperity.  I live in Independence, MO and this is the home of Unity Church founded by Charles Fillemore.  His wife wrote books about our God given right for prosperity and gave many examples and exercercises for readers to follow to achieve abundance in their lives.  It is yours to reach out for and claim. 

I always believe in synchronicity because it happens so much in my life.  I read a copy of Ted Andrew's book "Animal Speak," and looked up the Blue Jay as a totem.  I have always noticed them around me and a few years back before I left for the West Coast I saw the same Blue Jay shreeking and diving down to the surface of a pond before immediately rising up and flying back to the branches of a tree.  This motion was repeated over and over again.  This morning I picked up a Blue Jay feather as I was out walking.  The Blue Jay represents our need to learn to fight back against people and powers who misuse their powers against you.  This is exactly what I have been dealing with for the past two years.  The pond water would represent the deep unconscious mind.  I have to confront those who wish me harm and make this a deep and permanent aspect of my true Self.

In summary as you are adjusting to your life and doing new things to generate income keep focused on anything that you have to see through to completion.  Mine is dealing with a state board and demanding justice for myself.  I will go on with my life and be successful regardless of my inability to earn income as a nurse.  Be determined and if people misuse their power against you - fight back and win your life!

Will and determination

I wrote about having strong will and intention and from a Christian perspective I aroused speculation about the validity of having a strong will as part of a spiritual person.  I have always had a strong will and since I have been on the spiritual path I can center inside when I need to stand firm in highly charge emotional situations.  Having been brought up by a mother who was raised in a typical Victorian middle class manner in the early 1900's.  My mother was a competitive athlete who in her twenties became the Thames Champion for rowing.  Perhaps finding a way to mend bridges with me she described herself to me as "harsh" in the same way her mother had been.  Although my mother was strong she always became frustrated with me when I was able to keep my cool when punished.  Punishment could come in the form of scoldings which was an emotional abuse, to spanking and one time washing my mouth out with carbolic soap after she heard me repeat words that my brother was telling me to do, which was physical abuse.  I would have become a fragmented person had I taken her intrusions into my personal space and attacks at my integrity to heart.  I learned to resist and regroup emotionally and psychologically inside.  The centering that I am talking about takes place from the throat clear down to the lower abdomen to describe the anatomy of our psyche or soul.  No one ever taught me this directly but I had the natural instincts for survival early on in life.

Each trip to England to visit with my mother had the potential for abuse and I learned to cut short the visit and return to the US as an adult.  My oldest brother was sentenced to prison for a year after he was arrested and convicted of storing a suit case full of Marijuana in the attic of our mother's home where they lived together.  I returned to England to visit him in Wandsworth Prison which dates back to Dickens time and fits with the dark and miserable past rather than today.  The visit started inside a small cottage outside the walls of the prison where I was able to get registered to visit then proceeded through a sequence of check points and waiting areas before we finally reached the designated communal meeting area.

After the visit my sister took my mother and I to her home in St. George's Hill where she and her husband lived in a mansion inside a gated community.  It was a stark contrast to the sooty black old brick walls of Wandsworth Prison.  My brother was the first of four children born to my parents who lived in a region in Uganda where my father had worked for an Italian mine after WWII.  My mother lacked experience with infants and was visited by Catholic nun in their home to help her cope with the new baby.  She was told by the nuns that he was "lazy."  As a nurse I have heard the term used to describe an infant who lacks the necessary buccal muscle movements necessary to successfully feed from a nipple.  She applied the label out of context to account for where my brother's life had taken him.  I responded to her assertion by informing her about the real meaning of the term which triggered her rage toward me.  She seethed anger and shouted at me before abruptly leaving, telling my sister that she didn't want to see me anymore.  I recalled in that moment how I had felt as a child when I was shouted at and emotionally attacked by her.  I recalled how it felt as a child, like a shattering of my psyche.  Now as an adult I could immediately turn to a picture of my spiritual teacher that my sister had out in her living room and center my energy inside in one coherent and strong energetic mass.  I stayed calm and didn't get pulled in by the situation and the hysteria that followed from my sister about my having caused the reaction in my mother.  Even going so far as to accuse me of not being sensitive to her because as she went on to explain our mother felt that she had failed in her role with both our brothers as the younger brother had been murdered.

From a Christian perspective of will it is in context of applying God's will is in our lives.  God's will is always for divine order.  Even thought there is chaos in the universe and on this planet in terms of the destructive physical forces of nature there is also a reordering.  No matter how much we misuse the earth's resources the earth will restore its balance.  Someone said "We can be shaken off like a bunch of fleas!"  It is a common experience that people have wondering what is the right thing to do in any given situation or with our purpose for life and choices we make.  What you have to know is that God wants you to follow His moral commands and teachings.  I read books by my own spiritual teacher and have read many throughout the years I was with my first teacher.  You will learn how to develop your own good qualities and virtues.  There is a quality of living from a space of love.  My teacher emphasizes ethics in our lives and positive thinking and striving to become free from any negative thoughts or malintentions toward others.  When you are doing the right thing in context of being within the framework of your religious and spiritual teachings added to the ethical principles that you can apply in life you will align with the will of God. 

When I spoke about my own will I mean that I am strong in my will be aligning my soul with God and closely following the teachings of my particular path and inner guide.

This is your life - make it happen!

During my adolescents I used to watch a program on television with my mother called "This is your life!"  Each program had guest who was public figure or celebrity.  It was a kind of "roasting" with friends and colleagues who surprised the guest by airing funny little secrets to the public.  It was a good hearted program and it made me think about what life could be like for me.

As a Professional Life Coach I realize more and more that our life goes by very quickly and we can be forever looking at our lives as though it were something on a television screen that will be eventually turned off. 

It becomes clear to us to get up and do something that will change our life and make it into something that we want it to be.  There is risk involved and it can be like free falling.  I have never done anything like bungee jumping or sky diving but in essence when you let go of all that is familiar and soar into the unknown it is similar. I can understand what our restrictions can appear to be like during various stages of family development when there are children to care for that may outweigh our freedom to take risks.  When you are ready you will know and seize the moment when an opportunity presents itself in your life.

Take the necessary steps to prepare for whatever endeavors you are interested in and when opportunity knocks you will be ready.  Always plan and keep your heart and mind on what ever success you want to bring into your life.  Mine has been helping people since I was a little girl and I observed nurses taking care of my dying father.  I am now at a point in my life when I can do other things and that is why I have chosen Life Coaching.  I no longer ascribe to pharmaceutical remedies and like to motivate and promote health life styles as a prevention to ill health.  Diet is a focal point and I ask those who work with me to become vegetarian and develop a regular practice of meditation.

When you are seeking to expand your opportunity to earn income start by building your networks through social network sites like Twitter.com and Facebook.com  When you have a product or service that you would like to build start a business page on Facebook and join similar groups to yours on LinkedIn.com  It takes time to build a following but once you have an interest in your work you will be able to take your particular business to the next level.  Forbes.com has some information on the necessary licenses etc. that you need for a start up business.  There are software programs for developing your website or you can join a free website and go from there.  From my experience it is best to build the social network groups first and then use the website as a place to connect all the groups and offer a fee for product/service.

Always start with yourself and where you are.  If you feel fenced in by circumstances don't think that it excludes possibilities for creating an ideal lifestyle.  Your responsibility as a parent comes before all else.  Write your dream life out on paper and specific goals that you can achieve.  If you cannot see the goals being met in the foreseeable future then write something like "when I can."  Keep this in a special place i.e. with your Bible or by a picture of Jesus or your Higher Power.  Everyday read over your dream and work on the things that you can do.  It might be steps like taking a particular class or setting up a savings account for a future business.  Do something that keeps the dream alive.  Make a special prayer for your dream.  Make each word a positive statement to draw positive results.  An example may be as follows:

Today I bring myself into the work place with an open mind and an open heart,
I welcome everyone I meet as someone whom I see Jesus in (Higher Power)
People like to do business with me because I always go the extra mile and love to serve my client's needs,
I am happy to make my customer's lives better through the product/service that offer from my heart
I spend time getting to know about my clients lives and when a particular problem arises I can offer a wealth of solutions
My God blesses me and all that I have contact with.....

You can use this prayer as a guide and tailor your own prayer to your own design.  Know that your life is under the divine guidance of our creator and we have lessons to learn while living and blessings to receive.  Everything has a season and if there is a time lag know that what you are waiting for to happen will be even better than you first anticipated.  Learn patience.  Meditate and eat vegetarian foods.  Monitor your thoughts.  Always have positive thoughts and if you keep a journal you will be able to improve your minds habits that have been holding you back from the success and abundance that is your birthright.

I am going to attend a talk tonight by Jimmy Ezzell who is a great business and leadership mentor about NutriRain a product that I hope to promote and to incorporate into my work.  Find a Coach who can show you how to develop the right attitude and embrace life to the fullest.  Make your life one that is expanding your horizons and your capacity to create streams of wealth.  Look after your health.  Napoleon Hill said that there could be no success without health and I think that's right.  Think about it.  You can adapt to almost any circumstance but it is an extra burden to try to rise up and achieve your goals.

Moving with the Power within.

One of the most enjoyable scenes from the Bible is that of King David as he danced his way into Jerusalem (I hope that's the correct city.)  Anyway David had a penchant for getting into the groove with God.  He understood God and he could resonate with God's vibrational frequency.  There is a type of Meditation called Sound and Light Meditation and it's just what it says - it connects you with the sound and light vibrations within once you are initiated by the Master.  Through the Grace and guidance of a Master your own frequency of light and sound becomes attuned to that of God.  With liberation you remain emersed at the same vibrational frequency level of God all of the time.

The more pure your own frequency becomes, the more divine sounds you will hear.  David was experiencing these divine sounds as his feet danced and his robes flapped and twirled  about his body. God has the kind of power that fills our body and soul with so much joy and energy that it's only expression comes through the dance like David did on that day.  He must have been a good looking guy with his long golden hair perhaps and sweat pouring off his brow.  He would have been muscular and agile reminding me of a Michael Angelo statue.  Servant women lined the path to cheer him on, perhaps giggling and gaping at the beauty of his movement and flashes of his loins.  Later when he got to his home or palace, his wife was waiting.  She was angered by his open display of his private parts to all the servant women in the city, and scolded him for his brazenness.  That scene ended their relationship because his wife didn't understand him.  His dance was about his love for God, and the power that flowed through him was so powerful that it moved his body and soul.  He was totally in the present and it was totally about his togetherness or oneness with God.

I like total abandonment to God and it's up to others if they wish to judge - farewell my friend!  I would rather be called mad for God.  Yet you must be sincere with your love for God.  If not, who do you think you're fooling?  Don't you think that God could sense David's fervor?  I hope that we all move our bodies and feel the Power of God's Love and Majesty in every movement.  Taking care of our bodies and being agile and athletic as David was, is a worthy goal that God will support you in achieving.  We all have our karma to deal with in life.  Some of you may actually be burdened with some physical illness and I hope that you will still try to reach your potential.

Bill Clinton has a tape which I have posted on this site.  He shares how he is undoing the damage that he caused his body through vegetarian diet which allows the body to unclog the arteries.  I recommend vegetarian diets because I have found it to be a very clean way of keeping the intestines clean.  Also you don't absorb the antibiotics and steroids that they feed to live stock.  If you haven't already done so please watch "Food, Inc."  (posted on this site.)  We are supposed to be a civilized society and when I saw how factory farms operate and the cruelty that is done to the animals it breaks my heart.  The slaughterhouses are like something out of hell.  Is this what you are looking to energize your body that is a vessel for God?  My Teacher asks "Why do you want to make your body into a graveyard?"

I like business and have always thought that people should be able to earn as much money as they desire.  Business creates the potential for wealth and as long as you tithe and take care of your loved ones, money is a blessing.  Whenever you are stingy with money it shrinks your capacity for love and contracts your experience of the power of abundance.  Generosity is always the higher path and even if it's a little bit it's always a good thing to give.  If you run a business be aware of what is going on with your customers and don't just take from them.  If you live from the heart you will do this naturally.  Let's all strive for abundance and create opportunities in our lives where we can "go for it" as the saying goes.  Create an avenue for your business to serve your community.  For instance Office Max sponsors "Adopt a Classroom," so that children will get the school supplies they need.  Tommy Spaulding a famous Coach impacted they way people network.  His philosophy was always to serve those you were wanting to be your clients and take the relationship to a higher place through getting to know your client's lives thoroughly.  It takes effort and a desire to connect on a deeper level.  He called his networking "netgiving" because the focus was always on the client's needs and giving them what they needed and more by going the extra mile.  As the saying goes "Just do it!"  Your heart may not be as open to this idea as you would like but the more you step out into the realm of generosity, more will come back to you.  That is a natural law of the universe.  Make your intention clear about your desire, then release it.  If you hold onto the intention it will become the focus instead of the process that is about to unfold that will bring blessings to you.

Ask yourself what is your deep passion.  What do you need to "go for it?"  David didn't hold back and he didn't take a berating from his wife either.  It is important to know yourself through self-enquiry and journaling.  When you are confident about who you are you can be a pillar of strength for others who need you to help them grow.  If you are in business it is your responsibility to deliver all that you say you will and do it in a loving and courteous way.  If you are doing something that you don't like try to build a business up on the side and when it is more fully developed you can maybe switch.  Keep your enthusiasm high by preparing and always honoring whatever you are called or asked to do.  Like David don't let anyone rob you of your power.  Follow the advise of one of the world's greatest power brokers, Mahatma Gandhi, "I will never let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet."

The week is ahead of you now and it's important to write your goals out.  Write a long term goal for the month and split it up into measurable weekly or short term goals.  Stay focused on your projects and keep working day and night to get the job done.  Excellence is the key to getting referrals.  When people speak highly of your work they will be bound to tell others.  The process is character building for you and motivating when you get as Spaulding coined "Return on Relationships."  Who gets up thinking of doing something with a negative attitude and gets it done well?  No one I hope!  You need to be your own hockey or football coach.  Life is like a training camp but the game is for real.  Be sure that your self talk is positive and that you are spurring yourself to continue on.  Attitudes are contagious so make sure yours is worth catching.  Believe in yourself and put your trust in God or your Higher Power.  Remember to think of your God or Higher Power through out the day and speak to He/She as though she were with you in every moment.  Know that God wants you to succeed and that you will have many blessings to help you accomplish fame, fortune or whatever your ultimate goal.

Care.ly for those you serve!

All of us have to deal with the political climate that affects the economy and thus the job market.  Now more than ever it is important to have several steams of income.  If you have a job keep it and try to save money.  With all your spare time and with total commitment develop a business plan.  That plan will include your business mission, goals and measurable outcomes that will help you keep track on your progress.  Marketing is the most important means of promoting your business so you need to get linked with people who can mentor you. 

I recommend that you start a Face-book fan page which allows you to promote your business but doesn't restrict the number of contacts you can recruit to join your page.  Your professional image is what will attract people to you.  You will gain trust through consistent professional presentations via video and blog articles.  When people join your group be sure to send them a note to welcome them to the group and let them know that you welcome their comments and suggestions.  Keep a conversation topic going.  Write a blog article each day and post it to your site(s.)  Follow up with people and ask them to give you feedback.  If you are starting a new service you may offer basic services for free.  For instance I am a Professional Life Coach and can provide an initial complimentary consultation.  That would be enough to help a person get focused on what it is that they want to do and identify goals and set dates to achieve those goals.  The role of a Life Coach doesn't end there because in my role I am totally behind the person who uses my service.  I link with them through prayer and constantly uphold them in my thoughts.  I do research for clients and help develop daily plans that bring about positive results.  I also coach people to learn and practice meditation daily; journal and do the self- enquiry that is necessary for spiritual development.

Prepare for your destiny by clearing emotional baggage.  According to the law of attraction we attract people and things to us according to our own vibrational frequency.  Have you heard the saying "I can feel his vibes?"  That is because you are tuned into that frequency yourself.  If you are at a higher vibrational level you will attract money and other measures of success that you may wish to attain.  Believe it and achieve it through inner work.  Suze Orman says that we have to be in complete harmony with all aspects of our being.  That means all realms of your life.  Your relationships, finances etc.  A coach can help you focus on the areas that are holding you back and bring you up to speed in a short period of time.  Isn't it time to get what you deserve?

Write a list of priorities to achieve the success that you need and deserve.  Put yourself first.  My Teacher said that we can have all the zeros in the world but unless there is a one first, they don't mean a thing!  Remember to take good care of yourself.  Your second priority most likely will be time.  It takes time to build a business and keep the customers coming.  Marketing is the key.  The key to marketing is relationships.  You will have to spend time reaching out to people on social networking sites and networking groups.  Contact thirty people each day and develop relationships and trust through openness and consistency.  Your you set for yourself intention will be the vital force to drive you to success.  Make an intention daily to greet each person with love and respect.  Welcoming is a high spiritual act that will warm your own heart and be felt by those whom you communicate with.  Center after meditation and check your own energy.  Are you able to develop a relationship based on caring?  If you give you will receive back.  That is a natural law.  It actually behooves you to be kind and generous toward others.
