I just completed a year of being president of my toastmasters club and I pretty much sucked at it. I'm a reluctant leader. I want everyone to lead themselves.

So I was frustrated when folks stepped up to officer positions with no interest of actually doing the job, they didn't even read the leadership manual that said what duties were expected. I think of folks like these as 'seat warmers'. They're just there occupying space, and in some ways taking a lot of energy as well.

But in a volunteer organization, you can't expect people to do anything. You can just appreciated the ones who are present and show initiative.

In the world we see everyone is becoming more internally empowered and self governing. That's what this evolution is about, accessing your own internal power and own internal wisdom and creating your reality from that space, that energy. it's not about doing it because someone else told you to, or doing it to impress someone else.

At the same time there's increased networking and interdependency. People are working together for the common good. so when you observe a group of people who are working towards what only benefits themselves, to the detriment of the whole, it's especially irritating. There's increased intolerance for those kind of folks.

We're all in charge of our own reality. We don't need gurus. We need peers and mentors, people who've walked this way to show us options. But we also need space to experiment and try our own ways.

I like coaching and teaching because it empowers people to do it for themselves. Coaching sees you as whole and complete. If you have a dilemma then you have within you the resources to resolve it. As good coach will ask powerful questions that allows you to connect with your inner wisdom and discover what's right for you.

During the last presidential campaign I observed a lot of low-vibration, dark energy, crawling out of the woodwork. It was coming to the surface to be cleaned and I assumed it would clear by the election. But the infestation was deeper than could be imagined, which is why the clearing process it taking so long.

So now I'm noticing a lot of high-vibration, light energy, emerging. It is fiercely coming forward with truth and integrity.

It's exciting to see how Consciousness is evolving into form. What isn't in alignment with it will disintegrate.

If this feels daunting, if this feels scary, just know that's your body-personality, the part of you that is physical reality and so interprets these changes from a survival level. When you as Consciousness anchor into your body, it calms and reassures it.

Then you can be excited about the changes, and amused by the drama. Then you can enjoy the roller coaster ride called life.

Your Life Vision and Purpose

Your Life Vision and Purpose

Do you know who You are and why you are here?  Do you have a clear picture of what you want in life, or are you too embroiled in chaos, or just crawling out of the craziness?

Maybe you used to know, when you were younger, before marriage, before kids, before the reality of working for a roof over your head?

The yearning never goes away, Source is always calling You.

Sometimes you may think that it has to be hard, or that you haven't a clue, when it's right in front of you the whole time.

Sometimes Vision starts with a feeling.

It feels right.  It feels clear.  It feels as if you were born to do it.

Often, it's something you were inherently drawn to from a young age.  Maybe you gave it up because it seemed too frivolous.

Maybe you stopped doing it because the expression of it was distorted.

Purpose is really basic.  You are here to create.  You are here to give.  You are here to express YourSelf.  Maybe you create beauty.  Maybe you create environments.  Maybe you create music.

Whatever it is, you give to the world, you enhance everyone's experience by it.

To get to awareness of your purpose, you have to have other bases covered first.  You can't be running away, and be in touch with Source.  You can't be fearful and expressing Your true Essence.

When you're preoccupied with compulsive behaviours it's hard to have a vision, beyond basic needs. Even if you think you know your purpose, you're just spinning your wheels.

After you've taken your focus off outside things, you regain access to your inherent wisdom.  It's not out there.  It's in you.

Achieving your vision takes baby steps, even micro-actions.  Take the first steps, and the Universe quantum leaps You.

Look On The Bright Side

Thoughts become things, but first they make ruts in our brains.  Repeated thoughts create neural pathways, so it's possible for your mind to get stuck in the rut of negative thinking.  To shift one's perspective initially takes effort - it's like exercising a muscle - but after a while it becomes a habit.

 

How our brain makes memories

We view the world through our 'mental image pictures', so things can look rosy or glum, depending on our 'slides'.  

That's not to say to be merry as a Mormon if you're in a toxic relationship.  Viewing things with clarity, without judgement, viewing things as they are, you can make better decisions on what to do.

Our brains are constantly recording everything, not just visually but aurally as well.  Think of how we're bombarded with noise and random conversations in the world around us.  We've learned to block this out, but images and conversations can play back to us on an unconscious level.  If you don't want to be programmed by commercials, turn the sound down on the TV and look away during the times they're on!

As sentient beings, we're always looking to grow and expand.   We are naturally going towards the light (although sometimes it seems the way out of darkness is to dive through it)!  Even if things seem like they are getting worse, they are in the process of getting better.

Breakdown always means there's breakthrough in store.

We don't need to keep all the random impressions we've taken in during the day.  A simple way of clearing your inner cache of pictures is to imagine creating and deleting roses (or rose colored bubbles).  Imagine a rose.  Make it disappear.  Imagine another rose, make it disappear.  Now imagine a string of roses, like blowing bubbles, and make each one 'pop', or disappear. 

Don't worry that you'll delete something that's important, you've stored the truth it contains elsewhere in your energy system.  

But 'blowing roses' is a great way to fall asleep at night.  It helps you wake refreshed, and clarifies your dreams as well. 

The clearer your thoughts, the cleaner your manifestations.

Try this for a week and see what happens!
