Living Your Dream

Realizing Your Potential
There are a lot of people who have come to me to say "The Secret" doesn't work for me. I've tried to manifest (money, relationship, health, etc.) but to no avail, it seems not to work for me. There are people who want to make some amazing, positive, changes in their lives but truly have not been informed as to 'how'. This is where I come in.

I usually go over the critical 10 list with them, one by one, and we begin to sort out all that truly needs re-examining first. It's like going to a new restaurant: You need to look at their menu to know what to order. The same applies to the core menu within us. What have you been serving up all these years? Have you taken a look at your own menu?

The process toward adopting a new perception, a new reality, a new awareness comes with some work. Once the inner core is identified, new awareness sets in and a new way of living automatically kicks into gear. The Universal Spiritual Laws cannot help but help you. I have summarized the critical 10 for you.

The Critical 10

• Beliefs : What’s Your Pay-Off? Check: Are your beliefs based on truth? Reality? What beliefs are you holding that may not serve you to where you want to go now.

• Assumed Limitations & Faulty Assumptions: Usually related to your self-image and size of your vision. For example, I do "a" I will receive "b". How is that working for you?

• Blaming & Victims: Based on self-pity and gets people nowhere fast. Forgiveness is the only way to heal, feel a sense of freedom once more and you will be able to move on.

• Negative Payoffs:A negative payoff is a situation in which you say you want something to be different than it is, but consciously or subconsciously, you block the desired goal because there is a payoff in maintaining the status quo.

• Masks Or Acts: 1. What mask or act have you been utilizing? Many people have large walls up around them and think they will receive amazing benefits from not being true to themselves and others. What mask are you wearing? Victim? Martyr?

Subtract something from their life: people, things, environment, challenge, et cetera. Get the person to be who they really are. This is transcendental change. Accepting what is in yourself is the beginning of transformation, because you can't change what you don't recognize. Masks are repressions, which is fear

• Incompatible Goals & Values: If your goals and values are not compatible, you will either subconsciously block yourself from achieving your goals or you'll change your values to make them consistent with your goals.

• Resistance To “What Is”: It is your resistance to “what is” that causes your suffering. Freedom lies in the acceptance of what is, for when you recognize and accept things as they are, you stop wasting mental or physical energy attempting to change what cannot be changed. That includes people, things, places, events.

• Mirroring: The positive or negative qualities you react to in others are a reflection of the same qualities within you. Other people are a mirror for you; if you are aware, you can learn from the mirror. If you see fear in someone else, you're recognizing fear within yourself. If you think someone is selfish and it bothers you, be aware there is selfishness within you. Any quality in another person that really bothers or attracts you, exists within yourself as well.

• Fear: Fear is a big word. As I remember Gary Busey's words "Fear stands for future energy anticipated real". I had to borrow his unique definition here. All disturbances between human beings, large or small, interpersonal or international, are rooted in fear. Fear means all the negative emotions such as anger, selfishness, jealousy, prejudice, hate, repression, envy, possessiveness, greed, anxiety, guilt, insecurity, depression, inhibitions, vanity, malice, resentment, blame, et cetera. The fears work against your spiritual evolution, and it can paralyze you, keeping you from acting when you need to act—keeping you from making a growth choice when it would be in your best interest. Something truly amazing happens once you tackle one fear at a time. Once you begin to do that which you fear, all other fears start to melt away.
