Don’t speak “about” your matters – speak “to” them!

Are you one of the many people who have felt the need to pair down their social media contacts lately? Or have you noticed that you just don’t enjoy being around certain people or groups any longer? I was recently called to eliminate some social media connections because the words they would post were far too often promoting negative thoughts and feelings. This spreads like wildfire and we need to be careful about what messages we are sending “out.” Not only do our words define us, they affect others.

Have you noticed that many people speak “about” their issues, obstacles and perceived roadblocks very frequently to anyone who’ll listen? There is a quote I heard recently and it goes: “Don’t speak about defeat and expect victory.” Isn’t that the truth!

I had an interesting experience today that I feel called to blog about. Though I never watch TV on Sunday mornings, I happened to click it on - almost unconsciously - today. On our default channel was a Christian inspirational show – Joel Osteen. I felt compelled to listen to him for some reason and as soon as I gave my attention I heard him say: “Don’t speak ABOUT your mountains – speak TO them.” Then he said something like: “Your words and thoughts will create your experience.” I was amazed that here was a Christian Evangelist speaking the same message Buddha spoke when he said: “Your thoughts create your reality!” I realized too that things in the world really are changing. It does seem that what so many of us feel about the big changes for 2012 is happening! I was thrilled that a bible-based man of faith is speaking the same message as so many of us! Watching the show left me feeling grateful and hopeful – hopeful that our world can begin to come together much more.

For a very long time, many of us have believed that 2012 will be the beginning of a different world. We have waited for 2012 for a long time…and now it’s upon us. I see so many things happening recently that give me more and more validation that what I (and many others) have felt and foreseen is right on track.

I believe 2011 is the time to finally decide who you really are – if you aren’t quite living to your 100% authentic self standard. It’s time to stop doing what you think you “should” do and do what you know (at a soul level) you “must” do. It’s time to stop pretending and procrastinating. It’s time to stop living in fear-based thoughts. It’s time to stop listening to the media and the negative words from others. It’s time to quiet your mind and follow the path your soul is calling you to. We can ALL do this. It’s the most natural thing to do and to live life any other way – THAT’S THE HARD WAY!

Why is it SO important that you speak TO your issues and not ABOUT them? Because talking about things that are not positive, inspirational or spread joy is just spreading feelings of fear and defeat. Its one thing to seek support from someone who cares for you, but it’s another to speak randomly about your hardships and expect others to just tolerate that energy. Can’t sell your house? Can’t find a job? Don’t speak about “This economy!” Can’t quit smoking? Can’t lose those 10 pounds? Don’t speak “about” it – speak TO it! What does that mean? It means – take control over your body, mind and spirit and COMMAND it. Yes – you can command it! Of course you can…it’s who you are! And remember, you are working in tandem with the universe too. Work with your faith; work with God, your angels, your version of spirit – don’t go it alone – and don’t expect them to do it for you without you (even though they can!)
If you are ready to step into your power, in whatever way you need to, but don’t know how – yes, I can help you.

Find your teacher – we all need one – whatever path that is for you. But know this: you MUST listen to your soul – you must talk to spirit! Whatever you believe about God or whatever you aren’t sure you believe – now is the time to step that up! Plant your feet in Mother Earth - reach your spirit to Father Sky – and for the sake of the world – live the life you are meant to live!

Remember – you have to believe – you have to trust – you have to act - you have to know! Know that God, the Universe, Spirit (whatever you call the Source of all that is) will conspire with you so you can reach your destiny…but, you have to let it be so! Show the universe and the world what you are made of. Show yourself the powerful being you are. Show the world that you have the courage to be everything you were meant to be and do NOT let the illusion of “obstacles” stop you.

I can’t say this enough: Take control over your life. Don’t just talk about your lack of money, lack of health, lack of satisfaction – do something about it. You and only you can. There is no magic wand – we all have to do the work! Remember, it can take time – so don’t give up and ask for the strength to persevere!

Here are some questions I encourage you to think upon and write about:

1. Why am I here?
2. What are some of my purposes?
3. What do I want from my life?

If you’re ready to move up to the next level of your life in any area of body, mind or spirit and need some guidance – call me. It’s time to invest in yourself and stop waiting for tomorrow! You can reach me via the information below.
