Light the Path to Your Potential

Are You Hiding From Your Challenges?

2010-01-18T17:57:00.002-07:00

Are there challenges in your life that you really don't understand? And do you actually avoid looking at these challenges because you are not competent in your ability to move beyond them?

Recently it has become more and more obvious to me that spiritually conscious women are very good at seeing the best and focusing on the good. The flip side of this is that they can be very good at ignoring the bad, especially the challenges that they don't know what to do about.

At first this appears to be a good thing, when you consider the Law of Attraction. But I've found for myself that this ignoring of the challenges can be more harmful than good. And there is a real powerful energy to a person who is willing to look, to be honest with herself about what is going on and then to find a solution.

I remember when I was first building my business, I wanted to be at a point of success where I could be only doing what I loved and fully leave my old career behind. I would be visualizing, focusing on the good and still nothing was really happening to take me forward financially in the way I had wanted. Rather than face what was happening honestly, I tried to just put a happy face on through it and expect it to all work out.

What I didn't realize is that there were many aspects to this challenge that I needed to see and understand if it was ever going to get better. And after a major life change I didn?t have a choice anymore, I needed to move beyond this challenge and fast.

So what did I do?

I stopped trying to just "be positive" and I really allowed myself to take an honest look at it all. It was not necessarily comfortable but I knew I needed to do this.

Because the truth I've found is that you can't change what you don't face.

You attract what matches your ENTIRE energy, what you're conscious of AND what is below the surface. Might as well face the darkness within you so you can finally begin to attract the reality that you want.

There is light in your awareness that can break up the darkness, allow you to see things in a new way and allow you to have powerful realizations that can take you forward.

What I saw clearly was that I was lacking the business knowledge to take my business beyond the point I had taken it to. And with the added drive that the life changes had given me (others might call this a crisis!), I had the energy behind me to find the way. To take what was a huge challenge for me and to turn it around into a major success.

Within 5 months of doing this my business was 300% higher than it was the year before. I had the courage to look. I saw what I needed to see and I allowed myself to take new actions, get the support I needed, the support the Universe had brought right to me, to overcome this challenge and to be guided to a new way of being.

None of which would have been possible had I not taken an honest look and faced the challenges rather than pretending they don't exist.

So what is the big challenge in your life that you have been avoiding?

Do you see that by doing this you were affirming the belief that there is no solution or way out?

What if instead you affirmed that you could create whatever you want, that you would be guided forward, that the answers and solutions would come to you?

Imagine what you could create then?

Start now. Write down on a piece of paper what the challenge is that you haven't been facing. And let yourself write all about it. Be willing to discover more about yourself, what has been driving you in this area and what fears you have about it. Let yourself look, bring the light of your awareness to this dark place and see possibilities where there was once impossibility.

Don't fear what you can't see, face it! There's a gift in it and can only be opened once you look directly into it.

6 Tips for Creating Powerful New Year's Intentions!

2010-01-06T11:20:00.001-07:00

The beginning of a new year is one of the most exciting and powerful times. It feels like things reset and you get to start fresh and new. The slate is now cleared and what you write on it is up to you.

This year I challenge you to create some real powerful intentions for yourself. Go for what you really want, use the power of this time of year to move you into the new territory that you belong in.

Over the last few years I have had the benefit of having some of my biggest and most important intentions become my reality. And it always started at this time of year. I wish this for you and have pulled together 5 important tips for creating powerful New Year's Intentions for 2010 based on what I have learned. They're simple but powerful.

Tip #1: Set Believable Intentions

Make sure you don't make your intentions way too far out there that you can't honestly see them becoming your reality. The intentions I have set over the years that deep down I didn't believe could really happen never did. And the HUGE intentions that I set that seemed almost impossible logically, but deep down I believed they could happen, did happen.

It's a waste of your creative power to focus on those impossible to reach intentions and it often just leaves you feeling disappointed in the end because it's not possible to create something unless you truly believe (not just wish) it can happen.

I know you have the power to create amazing things this year, so go for what you really want, just make sure the deeper part of you truly believes it can happen.

If you do have a way out there desire but you don't believe it can happen in a year, break it down and see what you DO believe you can create in 2010, and use that for your intention. It will have much more power behind it and is WAY more likely to become your reality because you believe it can happen.

Tip #2: Let go of the "How"

If you really want intentions that have a better chance of becoming your reality, forget about the how. Leave the how up to the Universe.

One of my most powerful New Year's intentions I made a few years ago, that became my reality a short 5 months later, was to be doing the work that I loved full-time. And you know what? It came about in a totally unexpected way. The "how" I saw in my mind was WAY off!

But did it matter? Of course not. Since that point in time I have been doing what I love full-time? Who cares how it happened!

That's the thing about the "how". Our minds are HORRIBLE at coming up with a "how" that is any good. Our mind typically leaves out important pieces like happiness along the way, fun, and feeling good!

So this year, even if you can see a lot of the "how" for yourself, allow space for the mystery, the wonder and synchronicity to bring you what you want in a way you couldn't even dream of. Choose your intentions to focus on what you really want and hand the "how" over to the Universe.

Tip #3: Make Sure Your Intentions Have Some Fuel!

Intentions will go nowhere without emotion and desire behind them. Go for something that would really make your heart sing. Or at least work with your intentions until they feel exciting to you.

Emotion and desire will drive you forward and have the Law of Attraction helping you out as well!

Tip #4: Clarity = Power

If there's one thing I've learned it's that when you?re clear and you set an intention, EVERYTHING moves to support you in its manifestation.

And I don't mean clear about the specifics, many people get into specifics and they lose the emotion, and that's no good. I mean you want to be CLEAR in your own heart, mind and being that YOU WANT THIS and IT IS TIME! That's the kind of clarity that moves mountains.

Choose intentions that are more like a choice, even if it seems like quite a stretch? A choice that you are making for yourself, FULLY expecting the Universe to back you up and help bring to you as your reality.

I made this kind of choice two specific times with my New Year's Intentions. And each one I was SO clear on and KNEW in my bones had to happen, I WANTED to happen. And with that choice at this time of year, it set forth all of the support I needed to make it be my reality. And each time they came about 5-6 months after setting them, and they were both huge stretches for me, but I believed it could happen even though I had no idea how.

So what do you really want? What are you SO clear that you must have and that you believe you can have in 2010?

Get clear now and make your choice!

Tip #5: Write Your 2010 Intentions Down!

I can't count how many times I've written an intention down, small or big, and they somehow happen without any effort on my part. How cool is that? Whatever you do, be sure you take some time to write down your 2010 intentions. And I'd have them posted somewhere around you so you can focus on them throughout the year.

Tip #6: Write Out Your 2010 Intentions in the Present Tense

I know that a huge part of manifesting the Intention of being full-time self-employed is that I made no reference to my part-time job in my intentions. And as an extension on this, when I walked out of the door at the end of each 3 day work week in my old Engineering job, I pretended that it didn't exist to me. I acted as if I WAS fully self-employed.

This was so effective I remember on my way home on my last day having the thought Ah, back to normal!? What?! Normal? But it was. Because I had been practicing it as my reality for 5 months straight, there was no future to it, it was here now.

So write out your intentions as if they are your reality today, if you see it as something happening "one day" it will forever be in the future. Claim your new reality now.

Simple tips that have made all the difference for me!

Stop Looking For Outside Validation of You Worth... It's Sabotaging Your Results!

2009-12-15T13:31:00.001-07:00

Do you feel like the results you create in your life are a reflection of your worth and value? Do you feel let down when things don't turn out as good as you had intended?

Looking for outside validation of your worth is a sure way to keep you stuck in feeling unworthy. When you connect your value to anything outside of yourself you set yourself up for disappointment.

The thing is, you ARE worthy and it has nothing to do with what outer results you create. And I also have come to see that your outer results increase the more that your belief in yourself and your worth increases.

I have seen that people who don't feel worthy to begin with tend to see things in a distorted way. They rarely see the success they do create, even in the face of great success. And they are so quick to point out what they didn't do rather than the success they have created. It's just the natural way because they are driven by an unconscious unworthiness. And when you are driven by unworthiness you can't help but to look for evidence of it.

I know this all too well myself. This has been a great challenge for me as well. I realized that when you feel unworthy deep down, you set your expectations and goals almost impossibly high. You actually set yourself up for failure without realizing.

Then even if you create great success, it's no comparison to what you wanted. In one year I had increased my sales by 322%. That's a massive success! But at the end of that year I still felt like a failure because I didn't make my huge goal.

Can you see how ridiculous this is?

Do you see how you might be doing this?

You need massive proof of your worth when you feel unworthy, that's why you set your sights so high. And when you are driven unconsciously from a place of unworthiness, it is almost impossible to create those incredible results you want.

When you feel worthy, you disconnect from the outer results and celebrate ALL of your successes, because you see clearly without a distorted filter.

The one thing the Law of Attraction does is help you go for the best, to envision something truly amazing for yourself, that really is a major stretch. And this is a good thing. But you can't tie your worth to whether or not it happens as fast as you'd like or whether it happens or not.

If you really want big results, you have to go big, I'm all for that. But don't measure your value based on what you create. Make a choice to see ANY forward movement as progress that is worthy of being celebrated.

If you want to break out of this disappointment and unworthiness dilemma, you need to reverse the process.

If you want good results, you must detach from the outer results.

You must see your results as separate from you. Sure they are a reflection of you but if you attract limited results it has more to do with how you see yourself than your actual worth.

Which brings you to the second step to shifting this, you must shift your self-view if you are ever going to attract anywhere near the results that you want. Rather than watching for evidence of whether or not you are worthy, begin noticing and collecting evidence of your worth right now.

One way I did this was to start writing out self-appreciation in my gratitude journal. I just made myself list the things that I appreciated about myself. And when I looked at myself from this viewpoint I could finally see clearly...

I HAD created a lot, I did have a lot of successes worth celebrating, even if I hadn't made that impossibly high goal. I was giving myself what I needed, I was stepping up for myself and my most amazing life. I was committed. I was authentic.

And I really HAD created a lot of what I did want. The evidence was all around me. And through this I started seeing my true value and worth. It was not just shown in what I created, it was shown through who I was and how I was showing up in my life.

Break the connection between your outer results and your worth. Embrace your worth NOW, see the good, see the progress, see what is right. And you can't help but to create better results, because you will finally be coming from a place of worthiness and you won't need to validate yourself by results. And your results can finally soar.

You Are Meant to Do It Your Way

2009-11-29T06:32:00.004-07:00

Do you ever get the feeling that you are being "squished" into something that you're not? Like you really are a square peg trying to force yourself into a round hole but it's not really working and you're getting tired of it?

I want to share with you something I found to be very powerful that I hope changes your views on yourself and how you are designed.

When I was in my old nine to five job I had always felt this resistance to the fact that I had to be there for those eight hours, no matter what. There was even a point in my career where there was absolutely no work for us to do and we STILL had to come in for those eight hours. It always bugged me.

Now at first I just thought it was because I wanted a dream life where I could make my own schedule and wake up when I wanted and end my days when I wanted. Now this is partly true but recently I realized something big!

I am not a nine to five person. I actually found out that my energy runs differently than what is expected when you show up for your eight hour shifts. I actually work in bursts of energy where I have this insane efficiency and get massive work done in a very short time. And I also have plenty of time where I really don't do that much at all.

I thought I was lazy or something. But looking at it now, this is really just my natural rhythm. I rest and become more receptive for a time then when it's time to take action I have full and intense energy that takes me ahead by leaps and bounds. But it's a rhythm that I need to operate in to be the most efficient.

I used to think I was a "crammer" in University. I wouldn't study until almost the day before for most exams. And it worked. I thought I was "doing it wrong" but recently I realized that no, I wasn't "doing it wrong", I just needed that downtime before the burst of energy that was sure to come along to help me do what I needed to do very efficiently.

So what does this have to do with you?

You have a way that is YOU. It is natural to you, it makes sense and it is not a bad thing. In fact, I truly believe that the work that you are uniquely designed for must be done YOUR WAY by you.

I resisted the nine to five not just because I wanted freedom. Yes I did want freedom, but it is more than that, I am actually designed to work in a certain way that allows me to do what I came here to do in the most effective and powerful way.

I need lots of down time now so I can bring through the inspiration that I'm meant to share with those I'm meant to serve. And because I allow this I bring through what is SO connected with those I'm here to serve, I hear about it all the time.

And my life is set up to match Who I Am. I stopped trying to fit myself into that round hole and instead I created (or stepped into) my place in the world that is exactly designed for me. I am free, because for me to be free means I can serve those I'm meant to serve in the highest way a way that feels wonderful and natural to me.

Can you begin to embrace the idea that your resistance you feel to certain things is actually telling you that you are meant to approach things in a different way?

That maybe you?re not being selfish for wanting to do things differently, that maybe it actually allows you to Be Who You Came Here to Be in the fullest, most meaningful way?

Activating Your Authentic Way

Allow yourself to get quiet for a moment. Imagine an ocean wave of light washes over you and takes away any tension, thoughts and stresses. Just let it go.

Now ask to be shown what resistance is showing up in your life that is actually showing you an opportunity to discover "your way".

And once you receive this, ask: "what is my way here"?

And to allow this way to more gently come into reality ask: "how can I embrace my authentic way within the exact same outer situation"?

Even when I was in my nine to five I allowed myself to work "my way". I got together my "to do" list for the day and didn't act until I felt like it. I'd start with the task with the most energy and most of the time while I was doing that I'd run into people I needed to talk to in order to take care of my other tasks on my list.

So start now, wherever you are, to embrace "your way".

And I'd like to also spark within you the idea that your entire life not only can be "your way" but is meant to be "your way".

Stop Pretending You Don’t Have Negative Emotions!

2009-10-08T21:40:00.001-06:00

One thing that I have found is a common challenge on this path is that spiritually conscious people tend to not allow themselves to feel their negative emotions. They are strong, capable people who in general are very positive, yet in order to “stay positive” and have things “going good” they often ignore their emotions.

Sound familiar?

It is also a common fear that if you let yourself feel your negative emotions, you will plunge to the depths of them and never get out. That if you feel hurt by what someone says and you just let yourself feel it you are dwelling on it and it’s going to feel worse.

I really want to shed some light on this because it is one of the most damaging things I see spiritually conscious people tend to do to themselves. First, let’s look at what is really happening when you ignore or deny your emotions.

Do you often feel like people don’t seem to care about you as much as you want them to? About your needs and how you feel? Is your partner hurtful without realizing? Do you give so much and receive little in return?

These are all situations that you tend to attract when you are ignoring your negative emotions. And of course, this furthers the emotional denial because you are upset and it appears as though they are causing it… but they’re not. YOU are unconsciously.

Why does this happen?

Let’s go back to basic Law of Attraction, you attract what matches your energy.

By ignoring your negative emotions, what do you think is happening energetically?

You are saying that your feelings do not matter. It doesn’t matter that you’re hurt, sad, angry, in pain, heartbroken. You literally send out a vibrational message that you are not important and don’t matter.

So if that’s happening energetically, what do you think you attract?

People who tend to treat you as if you don’t matter, they don’t consider your feelings or needs. Or, you attract this behavior from the people in your life, even if they don’t mean to be like this.

And, by the way, if you are not allowing yourself to feel a negative emotion, you may think you are tricking the Law of Attraction but you’re not. You attract what matches your ENERGY. If you allow your emotions to flow, they dissipate, if you deny them, they become a part of your energy field and you attract more that matches them.

But the good news is that you can turn this around, and it doesn’t have to be as difficult as you think.

Now I want to be clear up front that I am suggesting this for everyday situations where you are experiencing a not-too-deep or intense negative emotion. Deeper negative emotions tend to point to stronger, deeper energetic patterns. I don’t suggest you try to make those go away by just feeling them as they are energetically anchored into your energy field and they are there for a reason you must resolve before they will release. I prefer an easier way to shift old patterns and that is using my Intuitive Healing Process. Or if you feel it may be a psychological issue, definitely seek professional help to get through it so you can get to a place of honoring yourself and feeling your emotions as you can see it is very important!

So, let’s shift the energy around this so you can be attracting better treatment from those in your life and so you can begin to feel important, honored and valued.

It all starts with you and how you treat yourself, when I say express your emotions, I mean get them out. This doesn’t mean everyone needs to know what your emotions are, again, this centers around YOU and I don’t even care if you’re the only one who knows about them at this point. In fact, it can feel good to get your negative emotions out on paper then rip it up and dispose of it, it’s a freeing experience!

Now first, I want to go back to the fear most people have, that if you let yourself feel your negative emotions you will be consumed by them. I have found that if your intention beforehand is to honor yourself and to feel better in doing so, the more you allow yourself to feel your emotions, the more they just dissipate as you get to the depths of them! Okay, so next time you feel a slightly negative emotion coming up, instead of just brushing it off or pretending you’re fine, here’s what I want you to do:

1. Stop and give yourself some quiet time to yourself and get out your journal. Even a piece of paper will do if you don’t have a journal yet, you can even throw it away after if you don’t want anyone to see it. The point is not to have a record of your emotions, the point is to EXPRESS your emotions.

2. Start out by setting an intention or asking for support, silently or on paper. This can go something like “Please help me to honor myself and my emotions and to get to a place of feeling better”, or “I intend to go higher.” This can really make the time you spend most effective so you don’t feel like you’re dwelling on your negative emotions. You are not doing this to punish yourself, you are doing it to HONOR yourself.

3. You can also imagine yourself surrounded by the light of your Higher Self or Source, so that as you allow yourself to face your emotions, you are allowing a higher vibration to replace them. If your negative emotions are like a dark room, you are surrounding that dark room with light and by allowing yourself to feel them you are in essence opening the door and allowing the light to flood in.

4. Start writing out how you feel. You can even start your sentence off with “I feel…” and go from there. And as you are writing, let yourself FEEL your negative emotions. Don’t just write and focus on how others are behaving, that’s not the point, the point is to feel your emotions so they can begin to dissipate. And again, the point is also to honor yourself and send out the vibration of “my feelings are important, I am important!”

5. Continue until you feel relief and you feel a bit lighter.

6. Once you feel some relief, celebrate that you have taken a big step by honoring yourself and your emotions!

7. To end on a positive note, begin to write about how you want to feel and as you do, allow yourself to feel these positive, good-feeling emotions.

Making yourself a priority and honoring yourself and your emotions is an important part of your journey. This shift to allowing yourself to feel your emotions is one of the most important one you can make, and until you show you’re important you can’t attract different from others!

The Comforting Truth About Your Intuition

2009-09-28T13:18:00.001-06:00

By Fia Crandall, Intuitions

Do you know you have intuition, but are sometimes afraid to check in with it in certain situations in your life? This can mean that part of you fears your intuition. This is actually quite common and can really slow down the progress in your life in the important areas you are afraid to check in on.

Why does this happen? Why would you fear your intuition?

This happens often when the logical mind sees a blank, it can’t figure out how something can happen, it can’t see the way. And when it does not see a possible way things can work out, it tends to automatically put scary pictures where the blank darkness of the unknown is.

It tends to think that in order for things to get better, there must be a huge leap that must be made. And that big leap is scary. “What if I fall? What if things end up being worse than they are now? What if….?” And the list goes on of all the things to fear.

Now this is normal for most people but as a spiritually conscious person, if this is happening you are forgetting about an incredible tool that you have within you.

Your intuition.

I have found that your intuition is really more like a best friend or a very loving parent. It gives you guidance from the most loving source of all, from your Higher Self, from Source, from the Universe, whatever you want to call it, it is giving you guidance from a higher source that knows only love.

Let’s go back to those areas that you are afraid to deal with because you think that a big leap must be involved. And remember, your mind, because it couldn’t see the way, assumed that it MUST be a big leap. Beyond the darkness must lie a big cliff with possibly no bottom.

Now how encouraging is this? Forget it. You would rather just have things be the same, even if it’s nowhere near where you want it to be.

So back to this cliff, what if this time you do something different? Let’s say that rather than assume it’s a big scary cliff you stop and ask for guidance… What happens?

I just love what happens…

You turn on a light.

You can see.

The darkness disappears.

You get to see the truth of what you have been afraid to see.

And so just what do you see?

In my experience, most often, what I find is that you see your next step.

That’s right, no big scary cliff, no major life change that has your world being turned upside down. Just your next step.

Now I have had to take a few big leaps in my own journey, but really they were not that big, and actually at that particular point my next logical step was a leap.

I KNEW it was time to start my business even though I just built a brand new house and had just been laid off from my engineering job. Sounds like a leap but at the time I KNEW it was my next step. I knew it was time to leave my old part-time Engineering job behind even though it was a bit of a leap, but again, it was my next logical step. There were a few more like that but again, they were my next logical steps at the time.

But you know what? Most of the time, especially if you are experiencing fear more than trust on a regular basis, there is no cliff.

I said it before, the Universe is LOVING. It’s not going to make you jump off of scary cliffs into the darkness!

It wants to show you the way, it wants to light up your path. It wants you to feel safe and confident.

And it wants you to take a leap only when it is time to take a leap. And by that point your trust and inner knowing will likely be strong enough that there is courage in place of fear. This has been my experience over and over.

The truth is, for the most part, when you ask for guidance, you get your next smallest step. It’s easy, it’s even logical, and it is your next STEP, not leap.

So going back to this darkness image again… without intuition, you see darkness and your mind assumes big, scary cliff. So you don’t want to check in with your intuition or ask for guidance because a part of you thinks that you are going to be asked to jump and you don’t want to do that so you’d rather not ask.

It’s time to rethink this!

Open to a new way. I love ease and one of the most important keys to ease is intuition. Intuition is your link with the higher plan, the bigger picture that you can’t see from your limited perspective.

Intuition knows the shortcuts, it knows the way that is the most fun and enjoyable.

It can put light where there is darkness and it can help your fear dissolve in the light of truth.

And more often than not it shows you your next step. It gives you a sense of peace and clarity that could not ever come from your logical mind. Intuition is beyond logic and that’s a good thing. Intuition lives in the realm of possibility and “how life can be”.

The Universe knows what you want! And your intuition is your guidance system to help you move along your path, helping you to move forward with ease.

Because struggle is an energy that we can now leave behind for good. And I know that it is part of my purpose to help people out of this struggle, and here is a first step for you.

I challenge you right now, especially in those areas that scare you the most, ask for guidance. You can even visualize shining light on the area you want to find out more about. And ask to be shown how it CAN be, ask to be shown the higher perspective. Ask what you have been afraid to ask before.

And if you don’t want cliffs, don’t ask cliff questions!

Don’t ask “should I leave my current relationship/job/home?” Remember, most often your next step is not a leap so don’t assume it is!

Instead ask: “What do I need to know to improve this relationship/job/home?” or “What is this relationship/job calling me to learn right now?” or “What is my next step toward what I am really wanting in this area?”

Move away from scary cliff thinking. To do that, assume there is a next smaller step and ask about it. And if it comes a time when you must make a leap you will have developed your trust and inner knowing to the point that you would not even need to ask if it’s time to take a leap, you will know. And you will have courage and trust and a deep inner knowing that you need to make a leap. But for now, trust that there is a next, easy, logical step and ask.

Secret for Accelerating Your Results: Honor Your Truth

2009-08-05T16:44:00.001-06:00

Are you overwhelmed by too much information, too many ideas to try, too many ways to get there?

Do you feel guided and supported in moving forward, confident in your ability to create what you want or do you still feel as unsure as you have in the past?

There is so much information and support out there. And that is great, but it can also leave you with way too much information so you don't even use any of it, or it can distract you from the specific information that is exactly what YOU need on YOUR path.

I see so many people who are trying to learn from so many sources and yet they are still not moving forward with all of this "helpful" information.

And isn't it moving forward that you"re really wanting anyway?

I understand what it's like to love to learn and be passionate about the process, but I don't want this to stop you from creating the true and profound shifts that are available specifically to you right now.

I believe each of us are on a unique path. You are on a unique journey and there is purpose behind this journey of yours. On this unique journey of yours there are certain things you can learn, certain truths to embrace that will really propel YOU forward on your unique path, to where the highest parts of yourself want you to go.

The biggest mistake I see people make (I used to do this myself in the past) is that they give away their power to experts. They trust the expert OVER their own inner knowing.

I hate seeing this!

What do I mean by giving away your power?

Is there something that you're doing because you think that you're "supposed to", even though it doesn't really feel good to you? Do you attempt to use things to improve your life because someone says it works, yet you don't feel connected to it?

This is what I mean by giving away your power, trusting an expert's truth over your own. And if you are doing this, I want you to take back your precious energy and power by honouring the truth of your being.

It is a huge secret in being able to create real results for yourself.

I am a huge believer in having a coach, if I didn't have a coach in the area I was focusing on most (my business) the last few years my business would never be where it is today. And while it's great to have a coach, and I highly recommend giving yourself this kind of support, I have learned that if you don't fully resonate with your coach, she'll never be able to help you get the results you want.

I used to think I needed to learn from logical, left-brained, business people because I was more on the other end. This was the furthest thing from the truth! If anything, this slowed me down.

Those who are most similar to you, who get you, who's truth resonates with you, who have been where you are and got out of it, can help you accelerate the results that you get more than anyone else. Because they are aligned with your truth, because you are on a similar path and they have met and overcome the challenges you have in a way that honors you.

In Step 1 of the Light Your Path Process, we establish the foundation that allows you to shift your reality from within. And a key part of this step involves knowing and honouring your truth.

I have come to believe that there is not one truth. There are many different truths, depending on who you are and the path that youre on. I believe that each of us has our own truth, that works for us, that supports us on our specific unique path with our specific unique purpose.

And do you want to know the real key to truth?

You are the only one who knows YOUR truth.

It's true. You are the only one who knows your truth.

I trust my Light Your Path Private Mentor Clients truth over my idea of what their truth might be, always. I trust them to know what feels right and true for them, because I am not them, only they can know their truth. I trust that they are each guided from within. Of course I help them uncover their truth, and that is important but I cannot know their truth, and in the same way, only you can know yours.

So how do you know your truth?

You know your truth because when you hear it (or read it), it resonates within you.

It FEELS true for you, even if you have no explanation why.

Even if you're hearing it for the first time. Your truth feels right, without any further explanation. Something about it rings true for you and you know that from within.

You know how some things can make the most sense to you. Say you hear of a technique for manifesting for example. They say it works and in your mind you can see how, but for some reason, it doesn't feel right when you use it. There's no life to it, you are not sparked from within as you use it, it's empty because it only makes sense in your mind, it's not your truth.

If this is happening for you, this tells me that this particular technique is not for you. And you'll never get the results you want by trying to live by someone else's truth that does not resonate with yours.

So what happens when you honor your truth?

If you are willing to let go of what is not true for you, you free up your energy. You give space around you for what you actually need to come in. You are much less scattered and you have a stronger sense of direction.

Knowing your truth prevents wasted effort and struggle.

As I still am an Engineer at heart, I am all about efficiency. I love doing things with least effort and maximum effect. I really do believe life doesn't have to be hard (and because of that, things ARE so much easier!).

That's what knowing your truth allows you to do. It allows you to accelerate your results. It allows you to live in a much higher energy because you are being more authentic. By following what is true for you, what really resonates for you, you truly can accelerate your growth and the shifts in your life that you are looking for.

Honoring your truth is like listening to your intuition. And intuition ALWAYS leads you on the most joyful, ease-ful, most efficient path.

And the other benefit I see my Light Your Path Coaching Clients experience from knowing their truth is that they have such a strong sense of self and what is right for them. They trust their truth because they have seen it lead to so many breakthroughs for themselves. It gives them a clear connection to their Higher Selfs guidance and allows them to KNOW beyond a doubt what is right for them, even if it wouldn't appear that way to anyone else. They make decisions from within and their trust in life always taking them to a better and better place is so strong.

Your Light Your Path *Shifting Higher* Action Step:

Get quiet for a moment and allow yourself to look within. Ask yourself:

1. Is there something I am doing in my life that is not honouring my truth?
2. Am I trying to do something because my mind says "I should" but in the depths of my being it doesn't feel quite right?
3. Is it time to let go of someone else's way an find a way that really resonates with me?

And as you go about your days over this next week, just start noticing your truth. What rings true for you? What doesn't seem to match who you are? What are you doing because you think you "should"? And, what if I was to let go of other people's truths that are not my own and really embrace what is true for me?

From Restriction to Freedom

2009-07-21T14:17:00.001-06:00

I have really had freedom on my mind a lot lately, so I want to ask you:

How free do you feel in your life right now?

Do you feel a sense of freedom as you look around at your life or do you feel restricted?

Do you feel free to be yourself? Do you feel free to live life “your way”?

Looking back, in the past I experienced way more restriction than freedom. This showed up in how I approached new experiences, how I expressed myself and it especially showed up in my career as I had suppressed my true desire of doing the work I love by choosing an "acceptable" career.

The thing is, when you have patterns around restriction, it tends to show up in many different areas of your life.

Take a moment to ask yourself, what situations in your life do you feel restricted in? In what ways do you hold your true self and desires back?

Even noticing that there is restriction there in the first place is a great start towards creating freedom.

In spite of all of this self-restriction I experienced along my journey, I always felt a deep and strong desire to be free. The one thing that I loved about University as I pursued my previous Engineering Career was that you were free in a lot of ways. You created your schedule, you chose if you showed up or not. Of course I did, but I didn’t have to, I chose to.

And the one thing I had the hardest time with in regular jobs were that you had to show up at a certain time and leave at a certain time. Maybe it’s not a big deal to everyone but it always bugged me. What if I wanted to stay up and watch my favorite show? What if I wanted to sleep in? Too bad, no freedom here.

Now I look around at my life and I am so pleased to see that I have created my life to be based in freedom. This was always one of my most important values. I love that I can go to sleep when I want, I love that I can wake up when my body just wakes up. I love that I make my schedule. I love that my work is a true, authentic, free expression of who I really am. I love to experience this true freedom every single day.

And the thing is, this freedom I now experience every day did not happen by accident. I didn’t just magically have this life given to me.

I created it, on purpose.

Just how did I do that?

I created it from within.

I realized that if I was experiencing restriction in my outer life, I MUST HAVE restrictions within me.

And if I am ever to experience freedom in my outer life, I must first create freedom within.

In Light Your Path Coaching, we create freedom from within. We identify the specific energetic patterns that are causing the restriction in our outer reality and we shift them for good using the Intuitive Healing Process. This always creates a sense of lightness as you are releasing energies and patterns, restrictions that are not really you. This is what we do to create freedom from within.

Your Light Your Path *Shifting Higher* Action Step:

Now because freedom is one of my most important values, I want to help you at least begin opening up to experiencing more freedom in your life.

To start opening up to freedom, begin by giving yourself a couple of minutes to answer the following questions to yourself. Be honest, you can’t change what you aren’t aware of.

1. What is one area of your life that feels way more restrictive than you want it to?

2. In what ways are you holding yourself back? In what ways are you holding your true desires back in this area?

3. Now likely things have been going ahead unconsciously in this area. Begin now to bring your conscious awareness to what is going on here and open to having it be a new way. Ask yourself: What would I love to be experiencing instead? What would true freedom feel like in this area?

4. Now there may be many different conflicting energies within you around allowing freedom in your life. But can you at least start by giving yourself permission to open to a new level of freedom in this area? And wouldn’t it be nice to have support creating that freedom?

If so, express your permission. “I give myself permission to open to a new level of freedom in _________ (area you are looking at). I allow myself to be supported in creating this new freedom.”

A baby step but that’s how it all starts.

Our lives are meant to be incredible, we really can experience freedom in our every day. I know this because I am living a life based in freedom now and my life looks nothing like it used to when it was shaped by restriction. Allow your journey to freedom to begin.

Building An Unshakable Foundation

2009-03-27T17:04:00.001-06:00

Copyright 2009 Fia Crandall

Is there something shaking your foundation in your life right now?

Does life seem to be forcing major changes all around you?

When this happens it can make us feel fear, insecurity and sometimes even shock.

We so often feel secure in our lives when the outer situations make us feel secure. But that security is an illusion as many of you have come to find out. We feel comforted by our "rocks", our home, our relationships, our job, our financial situation. But what happens when one of those rocks starts shifting or disappears altogether? All of those "rocks" can not give you a true and unshakable foundation. Why do you think it is so hard on us when any of those rocks changes?

In the last couple of years many of my old, steady "rocks" have disappeared. I know what it's like, when this happens it can feel like we lost our foundation. It can be unsettling and scary.

Have you been experiencing your old "rocks" shifting or disappearing?

What if you could feel stable and secure no matter what was going on in your life?

What if you had new rocks? What if your foundation looked a bit different? What if it was an "energetic rock" that could never really be destroyed or fall away?

An unshakable foundation can only be found and created within. An unshakable foundation must have you and Spirit at it's core. Anything else can not give you unshakable security.

Open to having a new foundation. Imagine your foundation was built up with trust in the Universe, self-love, self-acceptance, belief in yourself, honouring of yourself, truth, freedom, and joy. And what if that were your foundation regardless of what the outer situation in your life is like?

And if you find yourself in a major transition right now, can you open to seeing that you still have a foundation regardless of what is happening around you?

Sometimes outer situations have to change. Sometimes relationships have to end. Sometimes you must leave a job or be laid off. Sometimes you must leave a home you love.

But if your foundation is rooted in trust in the Universe and belief in yourself you can see that whatever is happening in your life is for your highest good.

Highest good? Even when it feels as scary and emotional as this?

Yes. If something is leaving your life, take a moment to imagine why. I've come to see this "highest good" concept is not just the Universe deciding your fate in a way you may not like. It is the highest parts of who you are, guiding your life. Sometimes we will hold onto things that no longer serve us. Sometimes we can deny our true desires, holding onto what is out of false security and comfort.

But your Higher Self will cause things that no longer serve you to leave your life if you don't do it yourself.

Out of love.

Highest good means the best possible outcome. Not some imposed fate. It is the best possible outcome.

As our personality selves, we can't always see the big picture. We can't see how good life can be so we make the best out of what we have. This is good in some ways but can hold us back tremendously in some cases.

Open to seeing your higher foundation. Look at the trust you already feel, in life, in yourself. Bring up your inner knowing that everything is always working out, even when we can't see how at the time. Bring up your knowing that the Universe is friendly and lovingly guiding you even in the scariest of times.

Let that be your foundation. Build your foundation from within, I bet it's already partially built. Embrace it, strengthen it in whatever way you can. Let the foundation of your life be trust, truth and light. And when things are really being stirred up in your life you can rest in the true comfort of this foundation.

In Times of Fear, Remember the Inner Creates the Outer

2009-03-13T11:24:00.003-06:00

By Fia Crandall, Intuitions

It is so normal in our society to look outside ourselves for so many things. And when we hear fearful things going on in the world around us it is easy to get caught up in it. It is so easy to give in to the fear that so many are holding.

But I want to remind you of who you really are. You are an infinite being, you are more than just your physical body, your mind, your title, your ego. Those are a part of you but only a small part.

Remember who you really are. Take a moment even right now to look within. Let your thoughts fall away and focus within. Notice that there is an energy there.

Remember it? Maybe you only notice it a little bit and that's fine. But maybe it's time that you acknowledged this deeper, bigger part of you. This part of you that always KNOWS that all is well, that you are taken care of, the part of you that only knows love and abundance.

It is only us that can limit our abundance. No one outside of us can do that to us without our allowing of it. And we limit our abundance so easily by allowing restrictive thoughts and going into fear.

Feel the energy of that fear and nervousness. It wants you to shrink down and feel lower than you are. It wants to lower your vibration.

And what does that mean? It is an illusion. And one you don't have to buy into.

You are not alone and you are not small. There is a deeper, wiser part of you that is your true source of abundance. And you aligning with this energy of abundance and love will help you let go of fear and begin to move into trust. And it is this shift of energy that will help you create abundance in your outer reality.

No matter what.

Remember, the inner creates the outer. If you hold fear, the Universe brings you what matches your energy, which means more to fear. If you hold trust and the vibration of abundance, you can manifest that in your outer reality. No need to fear your thoughts, just lovingly notice when you are in fear or nervousness and remember that the inner creates the outer and that you have a choice in any moment to remember spirit. To remember that your true nature is only abundance.

Releasing the Trap of the Ego

2009-02-18T20:09:00.003-07:00

By Fia Crandall, Intuitions

Do you find yourself feeling dull and lifeless at times? Like the outer experience of your life is missing some depth, joy or richness?

Or maybe you are wanting something outside yourself to make you happy. Is that what your desires are, a way to give you the wonderful feelings within you feel you are missing?

All of these things I have been realizing point to an underlying cause. Living life too much on the surface, too much from the ego. Whenever we lack the positive emotions we want to feel, whenever we are looking outside ourselves for things or other people to make us happy, we are likely operating too much from the ego.

Over the past week I have been getting message after message on this. I love how that happens. And because I know you may be in a similar place I want to share with you what I have realized to shift this, and also share a special audio I channeled for you. When you realize you have been floating on the surface of life, operating from the ego there are a few important things to remember.

* YOU are the source of all the good in your life.

Ego thinks that all of the good we want is outside of us, something we must strive for, which is actually an empty process that never ends. We attract based on our vibration, our energy. All of the potential for your life in how you can feel or what you can attract lies within you. Your spirit is within you. This is your source.

Remember this when your ego takes over telling you outer things are what you need to make you happy. Remember that you can attract all of the outer things you want when you are connected to your true source, your spirit.

* Your spirit, your Divinity is your source, a well that is ever-present within you, awaiting you to access it.

Have you ever meditated? Do you remember the feeling of it? For me it is this beautiful, wonderful energy that moves within me. When I connect with it I remember that all is well, this joy and life starts to become who I am. Or, I remember that this is who I really am.

When your ego takes over, remember it only takes a moment to reconnect with your source and your ego shrinks as you remember who you really are. And it is this source that can fill you with all of the love, peace, trust and energy that you could ever desire. It never comes from ouside of us even when it appears that way. We really are the source.

* We are all pieces of Divinity, parts of the whole, of all that is Ego sees us as separate. It is this separateness that leads to us feeling as though all good is outside of us. It is this separateness that causes fear and lack. When we connect with our spirit, we KNOW that we are all connected and that there is nothing to fear. We remember our infinite nature, that there is only abundance when we are connected to and coming from our Divinity.

And from this connection to our spirit, we have infinite power to create all we desire.

Your Light the Path to Your Potential Call to Action:

I was so inspired by the feeling of connecting to my own spirit that I channeled this quick guided meditation for you. Give yourself 10 minutes for you to connect to your spirit and open to the wonderful gifts this connection can bring to you. Give yourself this special time to connect with your source, with who you really are. So you can go deeper in your daily life, so you aren't being thrown around on top of the waves of life seeking that which actually lies below the surface.

So you can come from the depths of your being. That infinite source of love and all that is good. Remember that you are not the turbulent wave, you have a depth that runs deep down to the ocean floor. You have a solid foundation and stillness that you can connect with at any time. And with that knowing the waves calm and you remember that all is well. And from this knowing life becomes brighter and richer.

The Moment You Can Finally Leave Old Groove of "What Has Always Been"

2009-02-13T12:19:00.002-07:00

By Fia Crandall, Intuitions

There is really no success or failure, it is more like a continuous progression forward. I used to find myself giving up on my deepest desires every other week. Wanting so badly to be doing what I love full time and a part of me feeling as though it was impossible. I'd try and try, do this and that. I'd read another book. I'd try another technique that came my way. And each time I'd try something new I'd think "this is it, THIS is what I was missing, NOW it will finally happen". Yet it didn't. At least not in this instantaneous magical way I was hoping for.

You know if there's one thing I've learned in my own journey it is that it is a journey and hoping and wishing for that magic pill that magically transforms your life overnight just leads to the frustration of giving up thousands of times along the way. Since it is a journey and all that is coming your way, all that you are learning is helping you advance on your path, why not just embrace the journey? You're not failing if your desire isn't here yet. You're on the journey. If you have expressed any form of intention the road starts to unfold before you.

While it is a journey, I'm guessing you don't want that journey to take forever. I didn't either. It just helps to have the most supportive perspective to ensure you are moving forward and not giving up at every turn.

And there's good news. As you may already know, I am a big fan of speed and ease. I KNOW manifesting your biggest desires can be done slowly or quickly, with pain and difficulty or with ease.

Yes it is a journey, but there really are a few important keys to acceleration. But do you want to know what really got me onto an accelerated path, this year, and in 2007 as well?

I can remember this happened twice. Once in 2007 before I made the shift to doing this work full time. And once in 2008 before I created the most fulfilling year I can remember.They were the moments that changed everything. They were the moments that took me off of the "groove" I was in and allowed me to begin my accelerated journey into the new groove, the new reality I so deeply desired.

In March of 2007 I went on a vacation that was a lot of fun and also had purpose in it. I booked it at the last minute and so was on my flight home by myself. Not long before I got on the plane, my Mom handed me a book she picked up and said, "I keep reading this thinking, this is for you".

So I read. And as I read the desire within me for true and real change was sparked. I got home, went into my job and lost my voice. Doctor said take 3 days off. That works because I only worked 3 days a week. I continued to read that book and something important happened.It wasn't so much about the book I was reading. It was what came from it.After putting the book down I decided once and for all, that I 100% wanted my desire. I accepted it completely and chose it. Never before did I have such clarity and complete commitment.

Sound too simple?

I know that it was in THAT moment that things REALLY started moving forward. Up to that point I wanted my desire, but part of me was still comfortable holding on to the old. Part of me accepted the struggle of "making it happen".

Until that moment. In that moment I accepted that there was no other way. There was no failure. I chose that desire fully and completely. I let go of any watered-down versions of it. I chose that desire with all of my being.

And that is what opened all the doors and started the process of real positive change. Within a month things were in the works to change my situation and less than two months later I was doing what I loved full-time.

Your Light the Path to Your Potential Call to Action:

Dig deep. Be honest with yourself. Get out a pen and paper and answer the following questions, writing all that comes to mind:

Is there a part of you that feels comfortable being "not quite there yet"?

Is there a part of you that accepts things as they are and maybe takes comfort in the struggle of it all?

Is there a part of you that is afraid of this seemingly wonderful and positive change you are wanting?

Be honest. There are parts of you not in alignment with your desire and you are better off acknowledging this so they don't hold you back.Now get clear. Of all that has come to mind in answering those questions, ask yourself: "Are any of these reasons really worth not having my desire become my reality?".The truth is, the journey is guided. Yes there are fears and doubts along the way, but there are also ways to deal with them. Isn't your desire worth it?It's up to you now. If you feel more sure of your desire, claim it. Let the Universe know that this is what you want and there's no turning back. Even if you don't know how it will come about. Exercise the power of your intention and claim this new reality for yourself

Will I Ever Live that Life I Envision?

2009-01-22T23:58:00.003-07:00

By Fia Crandall, Intuitions

If you're like a lot of people I talk to, you're tired of being stuck and held back from what you most want in your life. You have some idea about what you want, and have probably been trying to make it happen. Yet it's nowhere in sight.

Feeling tired of being stuck can be a powerful place to be in if it creates the desire within you to make the changes you want. But I often see people getting trapped here in this stuck feeling.

And if you stay here to long you might end up feeling like giving up on what you want most. That feeling of "stuckness" becoming so normal that the idea of making good things happen seems almost impossible.

And you know what? It IS impossible from that low-vibration state!

And the thing is, most people tend to feel stuck when they try to make positive changes and don't see results right away. They look at what is and feel disappointment.

As hard as seems, if you don't pull yourself out of this not-so-good feeling state, you'll never create what you really want.

Why?

The Universe can only bring you what matches your energy. That's the Law of Attraction.

So until you shift to a better feeling state, until you start to get back some of that hope and belief in what's possible, the outer can not shift to the better-feeling reality that you want.

It won't happen.

I can remember feeling frustrated at the reality I looked at. Knowing what I wanted, to do the work I love full-time, yet being "stuck" in my old career. Yes, that was the outer reality at that time, but what was creating my future reality was my energy in the moment. Was how I felt day to day. Was the energy I showed up in.

And you change your future from where you are now. Right now, in whatever situation you are in.

One day I realized, if I didn't get myself out of disappointment and hopelessness, I'd never have the reality that I wanted. It would have been impossible. So I made a promise to myself that I would show up feeling as good as possible, enjoying what is as best as I could, no matter what. I let go of that "will it ever change?" sad-feeling approach, and chose to do what I could to shift my outer reality from within.

A few months later my outer reality did change. And not in the hopeless and seemingly impossible way I thought it would. It changed with miracles, synchronicities and blessings I could not have predicted.

I would like you to get out of this too. Because the outer changes only after your energy does. And you are the only one in charge of that.

Shifting Your Energy from Lack to Fulfillment

2008-12-15T20:56:00.004-07:00

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

Do you find yourself feeling disappointed sometimes with the way things are in your life?

Do you find yourself thinking... with all I know and all I have, why am I not as happy as I think I should be?

With all I've done to create the life I want, why am I not feeling fulfilled like I think I should?

I know what it's like. To know so much, to have so many tools, yet looking around at your life and not seeing it be the way you want. Or maybe having a lot of what you want and not being capable of feeling the joy you thought it would bring you.

I have learned that no matter what happens on the outside, no matter how good the outer is matching what you wanted, you still have to become the person who is happy and who enjoys life. If you don't become this person, it can be an empty chase of the outer trying to make you feel better within.

What have you had your fixed focus on manifesting? For me it was always career. To do what I love full-time. When this outer reality finally appeared I realized something. I hadn't shifted who I was to be the person who could fully live this in a way that felt good throughout the days.

The truth is, the outer can't make you feel good. And I love finally knowing that when you become the person who feels good, the outer manifestations you want come so much easier. And more than that, they just add to how good you already feel, rather than make you feel good.

What a shift.

Sound like something that you're ready for?

Take action. Let's get you started moving toward this reality.

Light the Path to Your Potential Action:

Give yourself 5 to 10 minutes of time to yourself where you can be undistracted and really give yourself the space to connect with this new you, the person who fully enjoys life.

Pull out a pen and paper and let yourself get quiet, get comfortable and relax.

Close your eyes and let yourself imagine what life would be like if you had all you wanted and lived a life you fully enjoyed. Let the scene play out in your mind. Let yourself really tap into the feeling space of that life. Notice the vibration you hold as you live this life. Let yourself be in this state for as long as you like.

And realize that you created this feeling out of thin air. You are fully capable of feeling this way now. Let yourself tap into this feeling as often as you like and become the person who feels like this as your normal state.

Are you tired of doing all you can and not being able to fully enjoy your life on a consistent basis?

Is there something within you saying "it's time", time for you to give yourself the support you need to really make the shift in your life that you're ready for...

To step out of disappointment and "trying" and to really move yourself forward to that next level and to the fulfillment and abundance that's waiting for you?

I'd love to help you get there, and I have a step by step process to help you do that. Give yourself the gift of starting on the journey from here to being that person who fully enjoys their life and is in a place where creating is so much easier. Book your free "Light Up Your Potential" Call with me to get clear about what is really going on and what the path to that fulfilling reality really looks like for you.

Open to a New Way of Seeing Things

2008-11-11T06:18:00.002-07:00

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

What if every single thing that happened in my life, happened to lead me to the life I have always wanted to live?

What if all the challenges I faced were to not just help me grow, but to help take me to my most amazing life?

To help me become the person I need to be to be able to attract and live that life as my reality?

What if the Universe is fully supporting me and always has been, to move into the life that calls to my heart?

How would I be different if I believed this at a deep level?

How would I approach the challenges that came my way, knowing that with each one I grow I get that much closer to all I want?

What if I truly knew the Universe was supporting me 100% in helping me create the life I have always wanted?

Would I get frustrated when challenges come up, or would I be grateful for the opportunity to take me forward?

Would I just have the determination to quickly move through the challenges I face, knowing the good that will come of them?

Would I still focus on what is not working or would I start to see all the magnificent ways the Universe is supporting me?

What if everything that happened to me, happened to take me to the life that makes my heart sing?

This is the truth that I have found and with this truth came an understanding that truly supports me. One that has led me to continuous, conscious
forward movement, into living a life that gets more and more amazing all the time. Despite any challenges that come my way.

What is Your "New Normal"?

2008-10-21T18:56:00.003-06:00

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

Did you know that one of the biggest challenges to creating new things in your life is that you must literally create a new "normal" for yourself?

This has been my experience, particularly in creating the work I love as my full-time career. The old normal that I lived in was fairly low-energy. Looking back
I see that the primary feeling I had day to day was sort of a dullness, a longing for something more and at the same time feeling stuck and the lack of it.

One of the most important lessons I learned in transitioning from Mechanical Engineering to my Intuitive Coaching and Healing business was that it wasn't just about "receiving" this dream of mine. More than anything it was about becoming the person who lived that dream as her every day reality.

So imagine my surprise when I left my old career and was now available to my new career full time, and I realized that I had to become the person who truly enjoyed my work. The work I loved could only bring me the fulfillment that I deeply desired if I became the person who could fully live it and enjoy it day to day.

My "normal" had to change.

So there is much more to changing your reality than just changing the external situations. The Law of Attraction is always in operation. So if you change the external situation, you will continue to experience the same reality until you change your vibration, until you feel as good as that wonderful new reality you
envision.

So take a moment now to check in and to really be honest with yourself. Notice how you feel right now. Take a look over the last week and notice how you felt. What was your overall energy? What primary energy or feel do you experience as your normal?

Give yourself a minute to do this, close your eyes and really connect to the general feeling that lies at the foundation of your days. Acknowledging your current reality is a HUGE step in being able to go forward. It is far more powerful than denial. Write down a few notes on this to help make it concrete and ground your awareness.

And now take a look at what you are really wanting to create in your life. Really let yourself start to feel the energy in this new experience, this new life. How
would you feel if that was your reality? What would your new normal look like? Write down what this is like.

And give yourself a moment to see how different the energy is in these two different realities. How does your new normal compare to your current normal?

And now open your mind. Close your eyes and let yourself relax. Have the intention that you are looking to see how you might begin to shift your current normal in the direction of this new life that is possible for you.

One way to do this is to focus on feeling the new energy as often as you can. This is not just about focusing on what you want, this is about bringing in a new energy that can help raise you to the desires you have for your life. A much more powerful way to manifest as your energy is in alignment with the reality that you want.

Take Action!

What can you do today that will help you to feel the new energy of your desire? Even if it's something small, sitting out in the sun, giving yourself time to
relax and enjoy a good book, calling up that fun friend of yours you don't spend enough time with. Whatever matches the new energy of your desire.

How do you feel, how do you act in this new life? In what way can you adjust yourself and way of being to be more in line with this new you?

Take action today to move forward into this new life, to creating a new normal for yourself that will allow your desires to come much more easily to you.

Open to the Incredible Potential For Your Life!

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

We live in a Universe of constant expansion. We will never get it done, we will never reach some final destination. Our mind tends to think that there is some final destination, where you will finally be able to "relax" and then enjoy your life.

I have found this not to work for myself. In leaving behindmy old career and doing this work I love full-time I reallygot that. My mind told me "once I'm doing what I love, then I'll be happy". Yet the reality showed me otherwise.

We are the only ones who can change our reality. And inmy experience you never do it "out there". It is definitelyan inside job. And what a blessing that is, there is no needto push and chase something that is outside of you!

Anything that might happen in your future, any new realtionships that might unfold, new career paths that couldopen up, exciting new experiences that you may have...all of this exists within YOU right now as potential.

We are so conditioned to focus outside of us to find whatwe want. I'm sure you have some understanding that youcreate your life. And that truly powerful creation does not occur just by doing alone. Many people who are just takingaction to finally reach some wonderful destination, may never get there.

Why is that?

Let's go to the basics of the Law of Attraction. You attractinto your life what matches your thoughts, beliefs and energy.

So if you are in a mode of constant doing, you are so focusedon working towards that one day where life will be good, what is your energy like?

Your energy says "I am in a mode of doing this and that in order to get there where I will finally be happy".

So your energy says you are not there yet, you have to work to get there.

So from this energy space, by the law of attraction, you will always attract into your life more things to do to help you get there. You will continue to do, do, do and your final destination will always be outside of yourself.

What does this have to do with the potential that's ready to unfold in your life?

The potential is within you. The potential must be present within you in order for it to manifest as the situations, relationships and wonderful experiences in your life.

You have to live your potential in order to attract it.

And just what is this potential?

Think of it as a new "normal", one that is rich with energyand positive qualities. One where you are more of the real you. Perhaps one where you feel freedom, ease,
joy, richness on a daily basis.

That is the potential for your life, we all have a unique potential we can access based on where we are at at this particular moment.

Open your mind now to what that might be. How wouldyou feel when you have actually manifested what you want? How would you be? What would life feel like?

The energy of that potential is available for you right now.It can be tapped into and can transform the situations,relationships and every day reality you have into a high-energy experience.

Who says "normal" can't feel great?

Start accessing that potential right now. What is one of the qualities or feelings you had as you looked at being at your destination.

Maybe it's aliveness. Live it now. Bring in that energy, breathe it in, let it become you, how you feel and who you are. And from that wonderful space, what does your life look like? What can you do right now to live that feeling, that quality in this moment?

Go for a walk? Call up a friend? Meditate?

Take action from this space and you will begin to live your potential. And when you live your potential your energy is higher and you will begin to attract other wonderful experiences to match it.

A different way to approach your desired destination, a way where you match the energy of your desired outcome and therefore it must manifest. The more you live this,the more your "normal" shifts and you begin to attract all the wonderful things to match it.

Shift Out of Disconnection and into Connection and Presence

2008-10-10T11:38:00.002-06:00

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

How much of your day is spent in "go, go, go" mode? Where your mind is in charge and has completely let behind your emotions and body… Where you feel a sort of tiredness all over. Where everything seems to be without life and joy.

How often do you spend in this disconnected state?

In my experience, it is this state that holds us back from the wonderful joy that lies all around us, waiting to be discovered. It is the state that leads to struggle.

It is our mind or ego fully in charge, not considering or caring about our deepest desires, only concerned with performing, with getting it done, with "doing it right" Sound familiar?

This disconnection is SO common in our society. I know it’s the mode I was in throughout my University, pushing my way through a career I chose, having to "do my best" above all else. Letting the most important priorities, my happiness, health, relationship success, need for fun and adventure fall to the side.

I have found that this disconnected state, although "normal", is driven by a couple key things:

1. Attachment to the outcome

We are so focused on what end result we are trying to achieve that we forget the JOURNEY IS OUR LIFE!

The results are not our life, the journey is our life. We feel the outcome is so important that all else is secondary. How we feel, our bodies, our happiness, our relationships, our fun seems to get so easily forgotten.

Take the household errands for example. You need to get groceries, take the kids to here and there, drop this off here, on and on. Isn’t it normal to think "I’ll feel better when I get it all done". You see the outcome as the place you must get to. And when you get there you’ll be happy.

But does this ever happen? Do you ever get it all done?

So where does that leave you? In a constant state of "getting things done" that never leads to the future outcome that you want of being happy.

Funny how attachment to the outcome is actually pushing away the outcome we want.

2. The need to be in control

When we feel like the only way to get a desired outcome is to take action our ego takes over and goes full speed ahead. "I have to do this", "If I don’t do this, that will happen", "If I don’t do it, who will?"

This is ego once again, and this creates a disconnect from Spirit, the energy that can actually feed us and allow us to take action with inspiration and energy. We end up taking empty, energy-draining actions that deplete rather than feed us.

Law of attraction says that from this state, we can only attract more of the same… more empty feeling emotions, more draining actions to take, more disconnection, and even more things we need to control.
I don’t know about you but this all seems too tiring to keep up! What about what you really want? What about feeling good? What about your deepest desire to _______?

Can you really make it happen from this disconnected state?

Now lets paint a better-feeling picture…

What if your life was filled with actions that felt good deep down to take. What if your life was actually a joy to live, throughout all the activities of your day? What if from this good feeling space, the things you really wanted came more easily and naturally?

I’d like to help you move in this direction if you are feeling ready…

Light the Path to Your Potential Call to Action:

Get out a piece of paper and pen. Read the following questions and allow the answers to come to you, then write them down:

1. In what area of my life am I in "go, go, go" mode? How does it feel to be in this energy?

2. How does this feeling of disconnection impact my life?

3. What else is me being in this energy state causing in my life?

4. Is this really serving me?

5. What would connection look and feel like? What would it be like if I was fully connected to my true self and living from that higher energy?

There is such a wisdom within that we have access to! Take action on this, how can you BE connected now?

Use Contrast to Take You to Your Desires

2008-10-06T06:08:00.002-06:00

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

Contrast is a part of life as we are on a path of continual growth and expansion. The Universe is in a state of constant expansion and that is how it is supposed to be.

Look at your own life for a moment and see the contrast of where you are now to where you were 5 years ago. Even where you were 6 months ago. Notice any contrast from now to then?

The truth is, as you grow and expand, you are taking your life to a new level in the way you feel and the reality you experience. Would you ever turn back the clock to live back where you used to be? I doubt it. You are on a path of growth and of taking your life to wonderful new places it has never been before. Whether that’s internal in the way you feel or external shown in the experiences in your life.

So contrast is a part of life, but more than that, it can be used as a powerful tool to take you higher, to move you forward into the life you are creating for yourself.

I’m sure you have some intentions for your life. Think of one of them now, maybe you want to have your ideal body. We’ll use that as an example, lets say you don’t take very good care of your body and you would like to lose some weight and feel better about your body.

Your intention is strong, you are visualizing your body as you want it to be, imagining how it would feel to have that body. How you would be so confident, feel great physically, work out often, eat healthy foods. How great that would feel you imagine.

You are motivated for a bit, go for a walk, work out, start to eat healthier, then what tends to happen?

Suddenly one day you don’t feel like going for a walk. You start craving things you know your body doesn’t really want. You start to feel down and discouraged.

This is normal!

You are moving from the old you (your current body, or other situation you’re focusing on) to the new you. What’s the difference? Contrast.

The new you is fit, energetic, alive, treats her body like a temple with exercise and the best of foods. Feel the energy of that person. Isn’t it incredible!

And imagine the contrast from that person to who you are now. If you think of contrast in terms of light, you are moving from a darker light to a brighter, more vibrant light.

There is such a high energy to where you are going, to what you are manifesting and at the moment you are not there yet. You will attract situations such as the lack of motivation, feeling down and discouraged, etc. (we’ll call this "contrast" from now on) because you’re not there yet! There's still lower, darker energy within you that needs to be upgraded for you to live that new life and have that new body!

So there is a hidden blessing here.

The contrast is coming up to help show you where you are off and what needs to be moved into alignment in order to be that new you. The contrast is where the Universe is guiding you to a low energy way of being that needs to shift so you can discover how to be that new you.

Next time contrast comes up, which tends to show up as those situations that seem like the opposite of what you’re trying to manifest, next time I want you to try something new…

Exercise: Use contrast to open to a new way that matches your desires

Next time you are faced with a situation that feels so far from what you want in your life, stop and ask yourself:

"In what way is the Universe trying to show me the mis-alignment between my current way of being and the new, high-energy way of being I'm wanting to move into?"

Recognize that you are experiencing and old energy way of being that needs to be upgraded. This old way is so natural to you, it’s automatic. But you take yourself off automatic when you stop and question it.

Express your intent to go higher: "I now see my automatic, old energy way of being that has attracted this experience that’s showing me the contrast, and I am now willing to let go of that way of being so I may align more fully with who I really am and what I really want in my life"

And then, open your mind to receive guidance, energy or information: "I am open to a new way of being that is aligned with where I’m going, with who I’m becoming". Open to receive it and take action on what you receive. Affirm through your action that you are ready to live this new way.

You are on your way, and the contrast is to help you get there. Next time you feel it or see it in front of you, stop and open to a new way of being that’s ready to unfold. It is your willingness to open to and adopt a new way of being that will help accelerate you from where you are now, to where you wanting to be.

Why it's so hard to create that "better" life!!

2008-09-29T11:57:00.002-06:00

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

I'm sure you've been there, maybe you're there right now. Wanting your life to be better, your love to be better, your career to be better, your life to feel better. Yet not ever fully being able to move from here to "better".

Maybe you start moving forward in the direction of better. Maybe you've started using some manifesting tools that you've learned about. You feel good, you know you're moving forward and you're excited about how things will be.

So why is it you can't stay in that forward momentum?

Why is it there always seems to be something that comes up and knock you down and bring you back to the normal you are used to?

Why does it seem so hard to create the positive shifts you are looking for?

It's only hard when you don't realize that there is a process to it. When you think that the challenges are coming up to show you that it's not possible for you to have what you want. When you don't realize that you need to shift internally to become the person you will be when you're living what you want as your reality.

And it's hard when you don't understand what it takes to shift internally to become that person who lives that "better" life as thier reality.

I'll share with you one thing I have come to learn helps this become easier. That has allowed me to stop searching for that "better" life and to instead start living it.

The journey toward that "better" life is really an inward journey from who you are now, who you have been unconsciously, to who you you know you can be.

Yes you take action as well. All the external things will show up, all the actions you need to take, you will take, from that new energy you.

The real journey is internal. And you will be faced with external challenges on this journey. Those external challenges are there on purpose. You are being guided to that "better" place, to being that "better" you. And the challenges that come up are uniquely designed to help you do that.

And when you see the challenges as not something to overcome, but something to help you create that "better" life, to become that "better you", you begin to see how truly supported you are in creating that life.

The Universe wants you to live that life, it is here to fully support you in making it happen. But if you get frustrated and give up because there's a challenge you're telling the Universe you're giving up.

So next time you find a challenge coming up as you move toward this "better" place, ask yourself:

1. What is this situation showing me about how I am now, perhaps that has been unconscious before and doesn't match that "better" life I want to live?

2. In what way could I shift my thinking, energy or way of being to match that "better" person I'll be when I'm living that "better" life?

3. How is this challenge allowing me to become the person who lives that "better" life as her reality?

Don't just respond from your mind. Get quiet. There is an infinite wisdom that is available to all of us, but it comes in stillness, through the mind, but not from the mind. Open to what can be. Be willing to release attachment to struggle. Allow ease. Allow yourself to shift with ease.

Of course, there are times when the challenges are bigger or heavier and you need more powerful tools. And even if you don't have those tools, use this process. Just asking the questions gets the Universe supporting you to find your answers and having you open to overcoming the challenges rather than resisting them.

Moving through these challenges and being willing to grow into the person you need to be to live that "better" life is what I have found is necessary to move to that "better" life. Embrace the journey and what you need can come to you much more easily and moving into that "better" life becomes a reality rather than a dream.

Don’t Be Held Back by Your Logical Mind

2008-06-03T11:46:00.001-06:00

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

We are blessed to have such powerful minds to put to work for us. Unfortunately, our minds tend to end up getting a much bigger role than they should. This can cause us to be held to the same old comfortable reality, which I imagine, you would probably like to see improvements in!
Our logical mind has a definite purpose, it can figure things out, it can plan, it can analyze, figure out how to make things work, figure out how to implement a plan. These are all wonderful things that help us in our day to day life.

But the logical mind is just that, logical. It does what "makes sense".

And just what makes sense to the logical mind? What has worked in the past. What it has seen work for others.

Hmm, let's see, so if you are making decisions and living your life with your logical mind in charge, what could the future possibly look like?

Same as the past!!!

And is that what you want? I'm guessing no. We are always growing and expanding and with that comes the desire for more. That is a natural part of this life and it is a good thing.
So how can you prevent your logical mind from holding you back like this?

It helps to see it from a bigger perspective. You see, if the mind had the perspective of the soul it would have a much bigger picture of your life and of what is possible. It would not look to the past to see what to do. It would see the potential and move forward.

But the logical mind does not see this big picture. It only sees what is and what has been.
So if you are wanting to take your life to a new level, to break into wonderful new territory do you really want to be putting your logical mind in charge?

I don't think so.

So how do you deal with this? Who is in charge then?

You.

You are not your mind. Your mind is a tool you have available to you.

And you have the ability to access higher information through your intuition. You can receive guidance from a higher part of yourself that sees the big picture.

It is up to you to choose how you make decisions in your life. From the logical mind, or maybe based on a higher knowing. You choose.

That is why your intuition is an important part of this journey to your even better life. It is your access to the big picture. And you may never get to see that bigger picture and that doesn't matter. You just need the insight from the part of you that does see it.

So now it's time for action! You'll only get so far with just reading. If you truly want to take your life to a new level, here is an exercise that will help you begin to give your logical mind it's rightful role and open to a higher wisdom that knows how to take you there. This is a simple yet powerful exercise to help you do this.

Exercise: Self-Awareness, Opening to Higher Wisdom

For this exercise, and in life, it is helpful to see yourself as the observer of your mind. That way you have the true power to decide, rather than just leaving it up to the part of you that only knows the old way.

Get out a piece of paper and a pen. At the top of the paper, write: My Ideal Life.

Then, close your eyes, take a couple deep breaths and allow yourself to begin to imagine what that ideal life might look like. When you really start feeling good, begin to write out a few of the things or experiences that you would like to have, what your ideal life is like.

And when you are done, take your list and really look at it. Review your list and ask yourself: "Could I really do this? Could I really have that?"

And see what thoughts come to mind, be honest with yourself, one of the biggest trip ups on this path is to pretend you are more positive than you are, I know this all too well! When you notice these thoughts, write them down not in detail, just the main idea.

Now begin to take a look at these thoughts and ask yourself:

Is this thought telling me why I can't do it? Is this thought about HOW it can't happen? Is this thought denying the possibility of it happening?

If so, recognize that it is just your logical mind in it's limited perspective, seeing only what has been to determine what will be in the future.

Now let's open this up! Take the negative thoughts you know are from your logical mind and ask the question: "Am I 100% sure that this is true?"

And if you aren't 100% sure it's true, ask: "Could it maybe be possible for me to have this thing I want?" And just allow your mind to calm down and open to receiving wisdom from a higher source. This is easy, no need to make it harder than it is. Simply see what new thoughts, images or ideas come up.

You've just seen your logical mind in action and opened to a higher wisdom, congratulations! Begin to notice throughout the day these similar thoughts that tie you to the past. Question these thoughts, "are you 100% sure that it's true?" and if not, open to a higher possibility.

A powerful skill that can help you break out of the old and into that wonderful life you've been envisioning, stopping your logical mind from holding you back from it!

Be Open to Receive What You Create!

2007-12-15T14:54:00.001-07:00

So you have something you have been working on
creating for some time now. Maybe it's your dream
career, maybe it's a car, or maybe it's a deeply
fulfilling love relationship...

Whatever it is, if you really want to receive
something new into your life, you will need to be
open to receive it.

In this world of ours, there is so much focus on
action, pushing and making things happen. Even
those of us who use the Law of Attraction on a
regular basis can fall into this trap.

What you will want to know that this is NOT the
vibration of receiving.

The vibration of receiving is much softer, it is not
a pushing our way kind of energy. It is much more
like an allowing energy.

Think of it like this. Imagine your dream was at the
top of a mountain. Yes, there is definitely a journey
to the top of the mountain, but at some point the
journey ends and you reach your dream.

The energy you have as you pursue your dream can
tend to be stuck in that action mode, but when you
receive your dream, you have to relax and take it in.

You don't want to be so tired from your action journey
that you are exhausted when you reach your dream!

And you don't want to be stuck in the action mode,
reach your dream and say "okay, I'm here, better get
going to the next one..."

And more than that, you don't want to get so stuck
in the action mode that the Universe sends you the
long way to the top, the way filled with difficulty,
stress and frustration.

Learning to receive is a lot like allowing yourself to
enjoy your life. It's not all about the actions you take.
If you really want to align your energy with what you
want, to be open to receive it, you will want to stop
along the way and feel the wonderful energy of your
dream.

You want to be connected to the feeling of your
dream when it will be your life. You will want to
relax into that feeling. You want to enjoy that feeling
now, so you match what you want and it can come
into your life easily.

When you are open to receive, your energy matches
what you want so much that it feels logical that
what you want be your reality. Rather than be
something "out there" that you’ll get to one day, you
want to feel as though it is your reality.

Sounds simple, but it is a huge shift in energy. As a
spiritually conscious person, who is likely intuitive,
the way of action alone no longer gives us the results
we want.

Rest in that softer energy of receiving and enjoying
your dream. I will bet it will make your dream come
so much faster than if you take the action only route.
And it will be so much more enjoyable because you
have been living it all along.

Take a few moments along your journey to relax
into the wonderful feeling you will have when your
dream is here. This will help you be open to receive
your dream much more quickly and joyfully than if
you were to only focus on action.

Want to learn more about how to be open to receive
what you're creating?

For Those in Transition: A Light in the Darkness

2007-12-06T15:12:00.000-07:00

There are times in your life that you come across
more difficult challenges. These challenges can test
your faith in yourself and your trust in the Universe.
The challenges that shake your foundation for you
to see that it isn't as stable as you once thought.
The parts of your foundation that you had leaned
on for so long are suddenly not so stable.

Sometimes challenges come to help you to shake
loose those things in your life that are no longer
beneficial to you. Recognize that this is all a part
of growth and it is a good thing, even if it doesn't
feel like it at the time. If you are facing such a
time, realize that nothing leaves your life unless
it is time for it to. And nothing leaves your life
unless you really are opening up to the possibility
of something truly better and more rich and
fulfilling in its place.

And in these more difficult times, the darker
times where confusion, uncertainty and unknown
seem to be wherever you look, know that this is
only transition time. And that transition only
leads you closer to the life you long to live. A life
filled with all of the wonderful things you have
wanted for so long.

The thing is, if you ever want to get to your
dream, you must go through transition. And
while most of us prefer to feel steady and stable,
allow that need to be set aside and trust in the
process of life.

Transition is necessary. Facing the darkness of
confusion is necessary to help you dissociate from
what has been and to begin to open to what can be.

Some people call this the void, because you look
around and don't see much. You have no idea what
is to come. Yes, you may know what you want, but
you see no signs of it coming.

Remember that the void is necessary. It is the
transition between what has been and what is yet
to come. Welcome it and allow yourself to be in this
uncertainty. Any rushing or attachment can cause
limitation and lack in your future. While allowing
yourself to be in this uncertainty allows you to be
aligned with and open to the pure potential of this
time.

And in letting your need for certainty go, you allow
your future to be so much brighter. In relaxing in
this time of the unknown, you allow your life to
move more toward the infinite, the unimaginable,
the Divine.

Be easy with yourself during this transition time.
Allow the purpose of this time to be served. Be
open to the unfolding of that absolutely amazing life
you've been wanting for so long. Release your need
to know it all. Trust spirit. Trust life.

Trust that you are always taken care of and are
always being guided to your true desires. And with
that trust comes the possibility for much greater
depth and dimension to your life. Enjoy the gift of
this time. Allow yourself to be cared for by the
Universe, rather than being comforted by the old
comfortable familiar. Let the silence of the unknown
deepen within you. Feel the potential of this time and
rest in it.

Know that even the darkest times are a gift. Be willing
to see the gift of this time and it will be given to you.

5 Simple Ways to Overcome Self-Doubt When Creating Your Dream!

2007-11-08T18:08:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wanted to create something in your life
that was a bit out of the comfort zone and found that
you had talked yourself out of it almost as quickly as
the idea entered your mind?

Perhaps you were excited about the idea when you first
had it - "I'm going to have an amazing relationship!",
"I'm going to find a job I love", "I'm going to live with
a greater sense of peace"... then what???

That little voice of doubt shows up. "I'm not sure I am
capable of doing that", "I might fail", "Maybe I should
be content with what I have", "What if I'm not good
enough?"... sound familiar?

Why is it that even the dreams that mean the most to
us can so easily be crushed by a single doubt?

Maybe it is time you overcome this self-doubt so you
can be free to create what you really want!

The truth is, if you want to create something that is
beyond your current "normal", you will likely have some
form of self-doubt to overcome. When you find self-doubt
coming up, realize that it is natural and does not mean
that you are not capable of manifesting your dream - It
just means that you're human!

So how do we put this self-doubt in the back seat and take
charge once again of the path toward our dreams?

Here are a few helpful tips when you find yourself coming
across self-doubt:

1. Let go of the need to know HOW you will create
your vision of what you want.

You likely do not know how you will create your dream,
especially not in the beginning. That is the way it is supposed
to be! Your intuition is how the Universe shows you the way
to your dream! We often end up doubting ourselves when
can’t see how we can create what we want. Or, sometimes
we think of one way that to create it and think that we aren't
capable of doing it. Let go of this kind of thinking and trust
that if you have a vision that excites you, you have within
you what it takes to create it. And trust that you will be given
what you need to make it a reality, when you need it.

2. Remind yourself of how important your dream
is to you.

Give yourself 5 to 10 minutes of free time to spend focusing
on your vision of what you want and how you will feel when
you have created your dream. Let yourself feel these positive
emotions and imagine that you have already created what
you want and are living your vision. Let yourself get excited,
these positive emotions will energize your vision and allow it
come to you faster. This reminder of why your vision is
important to you can help you set that doubt aside.

3. Be a witness to the voice of self-doubt.

As you notice the voice of doubt coming up, watch the thoughts
that come up rather than participating in Recognize that it is
the voice of the part of you that wants to keep you the same
and to keep you in familiar territory. Distancing yourself from
this voice can help you to gain perspective so you are still in
charge and the doubting self is not. Release the need to fight it,
simply allow the doubt to be expressed and move on.

4. Get the doubts and fears down on paper and out of
your mind

In your mind, they tend to endlessly repeat themselves and keep
you stuck. Get out a piece of paper and write out all of the doubts
and fears that come to mind. On a new piece of paper write down
positive statements around why you CAN create your vision. Maybe
you are downplaying your strengths and abilities, list these on this
paper as well.

When you are done, read over the doubts one last time, then tear
the paper into tiny pieces and throw it away. Read over your positive
statements and let the positive emotions and a feeling of confidence
take over. Feel free to read these positive statements whenever you
need to remind yourself that you are capable!

5. Repeat a personalized affirmation to yourself

This will instill positive beliefs around your ability to create your
vision. Make sure the affirmation feels good when you say it is
meaningful to you. The better you feel when you repeat it, the faster
it can become your reality. Examples: I believe in myself, I deserve
to have what I want, I am safe, etc. whatever resonates with you.
You can also use the positive statements you created in #4 above.

Self-doubt is likely something that you will face on the path to your
dream, but that is no reason to stop moving forward. Take a few
minutes to readjust your focus using the tips above and you will
be feeling better and more confident, ready to move forward to
your dreams once again!

5 Tips for Recognizing Your Intuition!

2007-11-08T17:58:00.000-07:00

Knowing what your intuition is telling you is a
valuable tool on the path of spiritual growth. In
recognizing and following your intuition, you can
be guided from your Spirit, your Higher Self
rather than just your mind.

Your Higher Self sees the big picture of your life
and can help you take the shortcuts and choose
the best path for you which is a wonderful gift!

But it does take recognizing your intuition in order
to be able to use it! Here are 5 tips on recognizing
your intuition:

1. On this Path, Fear is Not Always Intuition

On the path of manifesting your dream, when you
are experiencing fear, it typically means that in that
moment

you can not see clearly. You are seeing through filters
of the past that want to keep you safe, protected from
any pain you had experienced in the past.

Fear is most often an illusion that holds you back, rather
than an intuitive message telling you not to do something.

In my experience, fear is only showing you that you
have reached the boundaries of your comfort zone.
This is something to be celebrated as your dreams are
always beyond your comfort zone!

Fear does not always have to be walked through, especially
if it is a deep or intense fear. It is most often better to
heal it at it's source. And in releasing the fear, you can
more easily hear your true inner guidance.

2. Your Intuition is Positive and Encouraging

Your intuition is a positive, encouraging voice and would
never motivate you out of fear. I guess in some cases a
sinking negative feeling could be your intuition telling you
something is wrong or that you need to take physical
precaution for your own safety, but that's not what we're
talking about here.

We're talking about wanting to create a life that reflects
who you really are, that is a joyful experience for you to
live and allows you to express who you really are and live
abundantly.
And on this path, your intuition will speak in a quiet,
positive, encouraging voice or nudge. It speaks softly,
so you may have to listen closely to hear it!

3. Your Intuition Resonates Deep Within You

When you get an intuitive insight or message, you will
feel it resonate within you. You are in intuitive person,
which means you have the added gift of KNOWING
what feels right, rather than needing it to be proved to
you through logic.

If you see a book and suddenly feel an energy or a
resonance within you, know that this is you feeling your
intuition.

When this happens, see if you can find out what your
intuition is guiding you to do. Perhaps it's to open the
book and get a message, perhaps it's to buy the book as
it has exactly what you need in it for your next step.

4. Your Intuition Is Easier to Recognize the More
You Use It!

Everyone is different and their intuition speaks to them
in different ways. So the best way to find out how your
intuition works for you is to use it! Test it out on smaller
things like "Where should we go for dinner?" or "Which
shirt will make me feel more energized today?"

By using your intuition, you will begin to see the results
of following your intuition and that is how it will strengthen.
When you see where you are led when you follow your
intuition and find it is to good results, you will begin to
trust yourself and your intuition much more. This will
allow it to develop even more!

5. Intuition is Not Always Black and White

Your intuition operates beyond the logical mind that
always thinks in terms of either/or, yes/no. Your
intuition recognizes the gray area. It knows that there
are infinite choices and paths for you and that there is
really no such thing as a wrong choice.

Your intuition is messages from your soul, which may
see "both" instead of "A or B". In this case, asking A or
B is irrelevant. So rather than thinking of your intuition
as something that will give you a concrete "Yes" or "No",
see it as more of a playful thing that can guide you in a
more elusive way.

Release the need for the concrete and give yourself
permission to be more playful with it!

Revealing Test: Do You Believe You Deserve Your Dream?

2007-10-22T12:38:00.000-06:00

What comes to mind when I ask you the following
question?

Do you really believe that you deserve to live your
dream?

Yes or no... This is your logical mind answering.

Now try this.

Let the dream you have for your life come to mind.
Take a moment to imagine the different aspects,
how you'd feel, how your life would be different...
How much more amazing would it be?

And now, imagine that suddenly your entire life
was transformed before your eyes and your dream
was your reality right now.

How do you feel? If you feel excited, let that feeling
pass until you get to the true base feeling.

What is it? Maybe you can't name it, but do you
feel comfort, or do you feel discomfort?

Be honest. If you really want to improve any situation
in your life, you will need to be honest about your true
feelings.

Do you notice any physical sensations? Maybe around
your solar plexus? Or your heart?

This is giving you more of a real picture of how
deserving you truly believe you are.

If you feel comfort, that is a wonderful sign, you likely
feel you deserve to live your dream.

What is more common is the discomfort. And if you feel
discomfort, you may be uncomfortable with you living
such a wonderful dream.

Part of the reason for this is that we want to live in the
comfort zone and our dreams are ALWAYS outside of
the comfort zone.

But beyond that, when we are living such an amazing
dream as your life, most of us tend to start shifting
our focus inward. Subtle fears and feelings come up
around you deserving to live this dream.

And they are usually subtle, because in our mind we
want to be positive and believe that we deserve it.
We know the Law of Attraction so we think we should
put a happy face on and be positive.

But this is not real. And when you put this happy
face on and don't face your true, authentic feelings,
you don't allow yourself to see the real, unconscious
beliefs. If you deep down don't believe you deserve
to live your dream, better to find out and to do
something about it.

Because regardless of how happy and positive you
appear, your results will always show your true beliefs.
Maybe you're starting to realize you may not be as
deserving as your logical mind tells you.

So how can you begin to believe you deserve your
dream?

1. Become aware of why you do not feel deserving,
where did this belief originate?

2. Heal the undeserving belief (One way to do this
is through the processes I share in my "Releasing
Old Patterns" Audio Recording)

3. Bring in a new energy and consciousness that
you deserve your dream.

If you would like help with this, I've made it easy
for you. Wednesday night (Oct 24th), I will be holding
a special teleclass to address this important block
and to help you move through this sabotaging
"undeserving" belief, easily.

All you have to do is show up to the teleclass and go
through the exercises with me on the call. We will
go through steps 1 and 2 above and you will leave
with your own "new consciousness" sheet that will
help you integrate this new consciousness after
the call.

http://www.lightyourpath.ca/ideservemydream.htm

As a special bonus, I'm also going to be Channeling
a message you can print off and carry with you to
reinforce that you do deserve to live your dream.

Because you do.

If you'd like to truly feel and KNOW deep down that
you deserve to live your dream, and to stop sabotaging
your efforts with such a limiting belief, you may
want to attend Wednesday's Teleclass.

Is your current situation far from the dream?

2007-10-10T21:03:00.000-06:00

Do you find yourself frustrated that your current
situation is far from your dream?

If so, I have something important to share with
you...

I understand what this is like, I know how it feels
to want something so much, yet to feel stuck
in your current situation...

You are spending time and energy focusing on
creating your dream. You've spent time and energy
clearing through the fears, doubts, and uncertainty
along the way. You have grown so much...
And it's not here yet!

Yes, this can be frustrating, but it is all part of
the process.

The thing is, you don't want to keep thinking of
how it's not here yet...

This way of thinking is a trap you do not want to
let yourself get stuck in. And if you find yourself
stuck here, you will want to get out quickly!

Think about what happens when you are focusing
on how you are not living your dream yet, that it's
still out there in the future and you are still here
without it...

Your energy is saying: "My dream is out there and
I am not living it".

So you know what happens...

Your dream stays out there. You stay stuck living
without it.

So how do you get yourself out of this trap?

GRATITUDE.

This is why I believe gratitude is so powerful.

When you are grateful for what you have already done
to create your dream, when you are grateful for all
of the learning you have experienced to help you create
your dream, when you are grateful for the simple, little
good things in your life... you feel good.

Maybe in your vision, you have lots of money. Be grateful
now for ALL of the money you have and receive now (GRATITUDE),
rather than feeling as though it is not as much as you want, (LACK)!

When you are grateful, you feel good and when you feel
good, what you want is on it's way to you. When you
feel bad, it's not.

When you focus on all of the good things in your life,
your vibration is one of ABUNDANCE.

When you vibrate ABUNDANCE, you attract into your
life ABUNDANCE in all ways!Take action!

I have found it helpful to write out what I am grateful
for every night. Even if it's just 5 things that don't
appear to be all that important. It's the FEELING of
gratitude that is the most important...

Or you can try another very helpful exercise...

Before you get out of bed, think about all of the things
in your life that you are grateful for, one after another.

When you start to feel really good, then you get out of bed.

What a wonderful, high-energy way to start your day!

To start off in gratitude of all the abundance you have
in your life now... Vibrating gratitude and abundance,
feeling great!

From this good-feeling state, you begin to feel much
closer to your dream because in your dream you feel
really good. And in your current reality, you feel really
good.

Your current situation is already closer to your dream!

So even though your dream hasn't officially arrived yet,
be grateful for the good things in your life and for what
you have done to get closer to your dream. You'll be in
a much more powerful state, magnetic to your dream
rather than pushing it away with the feeling of lack!

Another way to feel good now is to live from your heart
instead of your mind. In my Heart's Wisdom Audio
Program, you can find out how to feel good more easily
by discovering and listening to the guidance within you.

Click here or read the next section for more information
on how this audio program can help you feel good now, and
live that much closer to your dream every day.

What does it truly take to succeed?

2007-10-10T20:57:00.000-06:00

I've been asking myself this question recently, what does it truly
taketo succeed? I have grown immensely over the last 8 years or
so and can't believe how amazing my life has become. I am literally
living my dream... I get to do the work I'm most passionate about,
helping people create their most amazing life. I get to live my purpose
with passion for a living. Incredible.

I have started looking back and thinking, what were the most important
keys to this success?

Today I am sharing with you 3 key things I believe it took me to
truly succeed. And they are not so much spiritual as they are practical,
but I realized I found a huge reservoir of energy to create my dreams
in these 3 keys. If you find these helpful, feel free to email me and
share your thoughts!

1. Facing Your Current Reality

When I finally stopped denying to myself that I truly wasn't where
I wanted to be, when I actually allowed myself to see my reality as
it really was, without putting on the rose-coloured glasses, things
began to change.

I know you think you are supposed to always be positive for things
to work out. While this is true, for me, I know I've had a bit of a denial
habit of my own. When I faced allowed myself to truly face the results
I was getting and to be honest with myself, I found a real strength and
power to create my dream.

From that point forward, I knew I would do whatever it took to create
my dream of doing the work I love. This brings me to #2.

2. Be Willing To Do Whatever It Takes!

I have read somewhere that the number 1 characteristic all extremely
wealthy people share is persistence. They never give up, no matter
what.

When I look back on my journey, I realize I could have given up
along the way when things didn't go as I had wanted. But I never
did that. For me, it's like I had no choice anyway. I knew what I wanted
and I had to have that life, nothing else would do. Being willing to do
whatever it takes, to keep going in spite of any obstacles is one of
the main reasons I am here writing to you now, rather than sitting in
a desk longing for more yet settling for less. (Actually, I'd be sleeping,
right now it's 1 am and I'm working because I am so inspired at night
and love to sleep in... I love it!).

When you are willing to do whatever it takes, the Universe can more
easily guide you to what you need to do. Whether that be through a
book, a realization you have when you hear a song, hiring a coach...
Being willing to do whatever it takes helps you succeed with far greater
speed.

3. Be Willing to Learn and Grow Out of Your Old Ways

If you knew what you needed to succeed right now, and your thinking
and energy was truly aligned with what you want, you would be living
your dream.

Right now, you are getting the results you are getting based on your
current knowledge and whatever old conditioning you are still stuck in.

When you are free from your old conditioning and patterns, you attract
a new reality, period. If you're still experiencing the same old reality,
you need to be willing to do the internal work in order to get the result
that you really want.

When you are free from your conditioning and limited ways of being,
when you move to a higher consciousness, your life will change.

I've seen it over and over in my client's lives and in my own. It really
does take growing out of your old ways and internal change to make
your dream reality.

That's actually the primary work I do with my Coaching Clients, it's
sometimes hard to see these old limits for yourself. But it is my true
passion and gift to be able to help people identify and shift out of the
old ways, so they are free to live the life they so long to live. And it's
so much easier with outside help!

So there you have it. 3 of the most practical keys I can give you, that I
know helped me immensely to be able to be firmly planted on the journey
to my dream. And now I'm here and creating new dreams from my fresh
new perspective.

I congratulate you for focusing on your important dreams. Not everyone
has the courage to do this and from my experience, your life will become
more and more amazing, simply by going for what's in your heart.

By the way, if you are tired of trying one thing after the other and being
frustrated to find yourself no further ahead, maybe it is time you give
yourself the gift of having a totally supportive, high-consciousness,
transformation expert by your side.

The truth is, this journey to your dreams can be so much easier!

I have seen that within a single conversation, old ways of thinking and
old patterns that have held you back for lifetimes can be leftbehind.
Allowing you to feel better than ever and so much closer to living your
dream. Imagine how much you could accomplish byhaving regular
support of a coach...

The True Power of Meditation

2007-09-24T13:59:00.000-06:00

You may have different ideas of why you should
meditate, but I'd like to share what I see is the
biggest benefit. In meditation, you still your mind.
It becomes quiet...

Think of the last time your mind was racing with
unstoppable thoughts... Maybe it's like that right
now! I know for most people, having constant
thoughts is normal. I know what that's like, it was
normal for me too a few years ago.

But it's not like that for me anymore, in fact, as
soon as my mind gets into this "over-thinking"
mode, I immediately feel drained and my energy
goes way down.

So what does this mean to you?

If you find that you are constantly thinking, you
are only able to access and feel a very limited
amount of energy.

If I could show you how much more energy you
would have if you were able to quiet your mind
even for a small amount of time each day, you
would be amazed!

Because what happens when you quiet your mind
is that your Spirit begins to shine through you.
Your Higher Self or your Divinity becomes present.

So you not only have more energy, you also have
access to an infinite wisdom, creativity and even
love.

That's why I believe meditation is beneficial. You
stop allowing your mind to constantly be in control,
you open to your more expanded, wise and loving
self to come through.

And this can open your life up in ways your mind
could never imagine... I know this has been true
in my life.

Had I left my mind in charge, there's no way I'd
be sharing my true passion through Intuitions.
I’d still be in my old engineering career, filled
with doubts, fears and uncertainty. Knowing at
a deep level what I always wanted, but not
knowing how I could actually make it happen.
It took inspiration, energy, opening to possibilities,
letting go of fear, allowing transformation within...

None of this could have happened had I let my mind
stay in charge. I had to open to a greater wisdom, to
a greater consciousness.

So try it for yourself, for the purpose of accessing
the more amazing, infinite, creative, loving self that
you really are, to open your life in wonderful ways
you can't yet imagine.

Another important point is that it is not how long you
can meditate for, it's that YOU CAN STOP your
thoughts. That's all. That you can consciously stop your
mind from it's crazy, non-stop, exhausting thinking...
and open to peace, energy, vitality, inspiration, creativity,
wisdom, and clarity. In just a moment.

Try it now, close your eyes, focus your attention within
your body and allow yourself to relax and allow the
thoughts of your day to just slip away. Focus on your
breath, just watch it, feel it.

Why?

So you are focusing on something which allows your
thoughts to stop.

If you have a hard time with that one, try a guided
meditation. In guided meditations, you are focusing
on the words so you are still stopping your thoughts,
which is the point...

I talked a bit more about this in my Heart's Wisdom
Audio Recording. How to get out of your mind, be more
present, and more than that... fully enjoy the moments
in your life now. There is a guided meditation audio from
the teleclass that you can also use... Click here to find out
more.

Either way, begin today, even if it is for short periods
of time. Even if it is for 30 seconds, the point is why
you're doing it and that you are doing it. It's not about
performance, it's about allowing your amazing Spirit
to shine through you and into your life. Opening your
mind and energy to the wonderful possibilities for your
life.

Move Beyond those Old Stories...

2007-09-20T00:43:00.000-06:00

I've got a quick little revealing test for you...

I want you to right now list on a piece of paper or
simply in your mind, what are the reasons you aren't
able to live your dream yet.

List as many reasons come to mind.

Now I want you to put at the top of the paper: My Stories.

What you've just written out are the stories you have
created that you believe in.

By believing in these stories, you are making them
reality. They areliterally standing inbetween you
and your dreams,preventing their manifestation.

It's what you tell yourself to justify where you are and
why you're not where you want to be.

You may recognize yourself stuck in your story when
you say any of these:

I can't have that because...
It wouldn't work because...
I could only have that if I...

What follows is a "story" of why you can't have what
you want. Although it may appear to be reality to you,
what it really is is a story. It doesn't have to be true, but
when it is true in your mind, you actually continue to
attract it as your reality so it it's what you'll see in your
reality, where it becomes true.

How can you start to let go of these stories?

You just did the first step, you are now AWARE of what
they are! It's harder to change something if you don't even
know what it is.

What next?

How about a little unlimited thinking on those stories you
just gave.

For example: Maybe one story you had was: "I can't do
what I love because I don't have the education".

This is just a story.

Let's take the limits off of that thinking... Subtly, easily,
and believably.

Begin to challenge this, see it from a bigger perspective, begin
to doubt your story!

Expand your thinking, for example:

- Maybe there is a way to do what I love without having the
education I thought I needed.
- If I do need the education, maybe there is a way for me to
get it that is easy to fit into my lifestyle. (I can't go to school
because it's too expensive... OOPS! another story!)
- Okay, maybe the Universe has a way for me to go back to
school, having it easily paid for (a way I don't know yet!).
- Or maybe there is something even more amazing I can do
right now to create this new career...

Whatever you can do to take those imaginary limits off will
help to begin to make possible what you were literally blocking
from coming into your life with those old stories.

Your "logic" that was so precious to you growing up and
fitting in to this world can actually be a huge limitation
and block to any new experiences and especially to the
big dreams you have that are close to your heart.

Start now to begin to lift those limits off!

But what about the stories that are so engrained in us that
no matter what we do to change our thinking, they seem to
never go away...

This is what I call a pattern. It is a way of thinking, a way
of being that is an unconscious thing. It is so normal to you
that it is hard to see another way of being.

But it is costing you because the pattern (old story you probably
don't remember anymore, turned into a repetitive pattern in
your life) is shaping your life and what is possible for you to have,
to attract, to receive into your life.

What I have found and been so passionate about developing
is ways to use your own energy, awareness, intuition and
intention to let go of these kinds of blocks. If you want to
end some of the old stories and patternse, EASILY and
QUICKLY, even on your own, you may want to attend my
teleclass coming up on September 27th... You'll even receive
it at my special Mailing List/Blog Subscriber price (until Friday only!).

An example of how the Universe takes us to our desires...

2007-07-25T16:12:00.000-06:00

Thought this was a neat one to share, my story is
about a minor thing but I realized it shows the
powerful organizing force of the Universe...

I've been a bit out of shape lately (haven't exercised
in forever!) but decided I want to focus on manifesting
my body as I want it. I found a picture in a magazine
I thought was perfect to help me manifest this (my only
use for magazines!)... it was basically the legs I want to
have. Maybe it sounds a little crazy but whatever, I know
it works. Every time I saw that picture I imagined that
those were my legs!

Meanwhile another thing I was focusing on manifesting
was having my dogs be well behaved, especially when
guests are over.

Not much was happening in either of these areas, and
then, my neighbor was mentioning the Dog Whisperer
(Cesar Millan) and I decided I needed to buy his book.

It's amazing, check it out if you want to transform how
your dogs behave in drastic, amazing ways, and even
improve your relationship with them!

Anyway, I read a couple of chapters before I went to
Kamloops a couple weeks ago and gave my Mom, who
was looking after them, the basics. They were so well
behaved when I was gone, how wonderful! Part of
my creation is manifesting, and so easily!

So I get home and see the book and follow my intuition
to read it and can't put it down until I'm done. A lot of
his focus is on giving your dogs lots of exercise daily,
mostly by walking them... I was so excited after reading
his book that I wanted to try it out.

I had so much fun and my dogs were unbelievably well
behaved. They used to pull me, walking them used to be
a nightmare...

A couple times, I walked with all 3 of my dogs, all of them
by my side! 2 dobermans and a golden retreiver, the ones
that used to drag me down the block, all walking with me
so calmly and peacefully...amazing!

Anyway, I have gotten so much exercise in the past week
and I love what it is doing for my dogs behavior. I don't
even think about the exercise, it's actually fun!

Compare that to how hard it is to try and motivate
yourself! Obviously, the Universe knows the best ways
and should be in charge of how your desires will manifest!

The book also focuses on how you need to be the pack
leader, calm and assertive. It's helping me strengthen
these qualities which I know will help me in all areas
of my life!

I just realized last night, what an unexpected and fun
path the Universe set up for me to manifest two of my
important intentions!

Thought I'd share that with you... thought it was pretty
cool how it all came together.

And like I always say, if we let go of the how, the
Universe will take us along the best, most joyful path
to the manifestation of our desires!

Oh, and by the way, my dogs have been amazing, big
annoying problems have disappeared, almost miraculously!
If you have dogs, you may want to check out the book!

Have a wonderful day!

Honour yourself and your true desires...

2007-06-27T14:41:00.000-06:00

Recently I was feeling a bit off and realized I was a bit
out of balance. I had been focusing on 2 areas of my life
only over the last couple of days - I was taking care of
one aspect of my business and taking care of cooking for
us.

Well that's good, but there's more to life than that!

So I opened up one of my favourite books by Iyanla
Vanzant, One Day My Soul Just Opened Up . I
love this book, I always open it to a "random" page
and it ends up being exactly what I need to hear at
that moment. I love it!

Anyway, I opened this book to the page on Discipline.
What it talked about and what I realized is that I was
not honouring what was important to me. I was doing
this with some things, but not all of what mattered
most to me.

What I learned was that you honour yourself with
discipline. This means you honour yourself with
action in the areas that are important to you. What
I realized I needed was to honour my intentions
in all areas with time. For me, I give time to
something and the action I need to take will come
to me. So I decided to honour myself with time
for things that are important for me.

Is there an area of your life that is important to you
that you are not honouring?

You can try this exercise as I did, it helped and now
I'm feeling much more balanced and honouring what is
important to me in all areas...

In the last couple days I have found myself naturally
giving myself time for these things. I guess that's the
power of clarity and pure intent!

Exercise: Honour Your Intentions with Discipline

Get a piece of paper out and write at the top:
My Intentions that I honour with discipline.

Below that write out all of the intentions or
areas of your life you'd like to honour with time
or action.

Here are a few of mine, but do it any way you like:

- Time to care for my body and health
- Time for nurturing my Divinity
- Time to take care of our home
- Time to take care of our dogs health
- Time for inspiration and creativity
- Time for fun and laughter!

I figure no matter what your situation, there is only
so much time, maybe a little or maybe a lot. Either
way, if you have intentions that are important to you
then they deserve whatever time, energy or action
that you can give them.

You honour yourself by giving what's important to you
whatever it needs...

Have a great day, honouring what's important to you...

It's not about action... it's about following your joy!

2007-06-19T11:44:00.001-06:00

Realized this morning that I have been pushing myself again...
I can always tell when I'm doing this because the activities that
are supposed to be fun and inspiring suddenly feel like a chore.
So I caught myself taking actions, caught up in "doing", pushing
myself and struggling... Gratefully I really do know better.

Nothing needs to be difficult. I do know this but I forget now and
then.

So how can it be easier?

Manifesting basics... stop and imagine right now that you are filled
with joy and wonder! Let yourself stay here in this wonderful
feeling for a minute. Then see what comes up, watch what happens.
Begin to see the joy around you. Stay with the energy of joy and watch
what happens. Watch for the spark of inspiration and once it's there
follow it!

Talk about ease, whenever I act from inspiration, what would
normally take a day, can be done in an hour. Not only that,
it can be so much more fun and exciting!

But it is a choice. Choose to take action out of "should" or "I
have to", or choose to imagine and see the joy, then when you
feel the spark, follow it. You're not always changing what you
do, but how you do it, and how you feel when you do it.

Now that I'm back on track, acting from inspiration rather than
pure effort, I really see the power in this!

Have a wonder-filled, joyful day!

My first blog entry!!!

2007-06-08T12:39:00.000-06:00

Welcome to my new and first-ever blog!

I figured I'd start one seeing as I love writing and have
many thoughts and insights that come at random that
may help someone else. Plus my passion has always been
learning cool life-changing things and sharing them with
other people... So I'll get to do that even more!
A bit more about who I am and what I'm about for those
who don't know me...

My work is dedicated to helping people who are already
focused on manifesting their dreams, become even an even
more Powerful Creator of their life... helping people to
manifest what they want with joy and ease and helping to
clear the internal blocks that stand in the way.

Why?

So you can look at your life and feel the wonderful feeling
of knowing that you and you alone created this amazing life
before you... There's no better feeling than that that I've
experienced.

I know what it's like to be living in a reality that doesn't
really match who you are inside, or who you know you
can be. I started out my career as a Mechanical Engineer!

Of course there's nothing wrong with that career, but since
I started working as an Engineer I had this knowing, this
feeling that there was more for me to be and do. Of course
there were things about Engineering that I enjoyed, but
for some reason, I wanted to have more than good enough...
I wanted to live my life with passion. I wanted to do what
I absolutely loved each and every day...

What a journey it has been. I could not have imagined how
much I'd needed to grow in order to be where I am today.
But of course the benefit is huge. The payoff is unbelievable.
Not only do I get to do what I love, I get to be who I always
knew I was but didn't get to fully express.

That's why I'm so passionate about my work. I know how
amazing it feels to live a life that is my creation and I
love it and love helping other people get there too!

Plus I see so many people who know some tools, they know
the law of attraction, they have so much knowledge and
information already, yet they can't seem to put it into
practice to the point where they actually see the results
they want. I love helping people apply all of this
wonderful information to get results...

Well, didn't expect my first post to be that long, but that's
okay!
