Hello Girlfriends – Tony Robbins (American self-help author and motivational speaker) stated, “We limit ourselves to our true potential.  We are afraid to ask for too much in life.  We have a sense of guilt to want it all so in turn we settle.  We settle for less pay, we settle for mediocracy, we settle for the so-so relationships.

THE QUESTION HERE IS, “WHAT ARE WE ASKING, AND ARE WE SPECIFIC IN WHAT WE ARE ASKING?

DO WE ASK WITH LIMITED BELIEFS?

DO WE ASK WITH UNCERTAINTY?

DO WE ASK KNOWING THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO REALLY GET IT?

-OR-

DO WE ASK WITH CONVICTION!

DO WE ASK WITH CERTAINTY!

DO WE ASK KNOWING IT’S COMING OUR WAY!

It’s how we ask and what we believe that opens up the universe to start working in our favor.  I want to share a story of a homeless man.  I was walking home one evening and I was quickly being approached by this homeless man.  As he was approaching me, I thought, “Well what do I do?”  I don’t like to give the homeless cash for I’m not sure if they will buy much needed food with it.  The other voice inside me said, “Who am I to judge on what he’ll do with the money for in giving we receive.”  So he asked like I thought he would, “Do you have a quarter?”  Whatever can he do with simply a quarter I thought?  So I gave him exactly what he asked for – A QUARTER! 

YOU SEE LIFE WILL PAY WHATEVER PRICE YOU ASK OF IT!

So why not ask BIG and for exactly what you want?

–Think BIG and Ask BIG—

The late Jim Rohn who was mentor to Tony Robbins stated that we ask these questions to ourselves:

“WHY – WHY NOT- WHY NOT YOU – WHY NOT NOW!”

We are made in the image of GOD and our creator obviously thought BIG – He moved mountains, created oceans and made each one of us unique and different.  We so often want to stay in our boxes and think we can’t ask for too much.  We can’t ask too many questions, in fear of appearing unknowing.  We can’t laugh too much for we risk appearing the fool.  To reach out to another is to risk involvement.  To love is to risk being loved in return.  To try at all is to risk failure.  But risk we must, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. 

Use your imagination and ask away – ask with conviction and ask with belief in knowing there is power in the unspoken word.  Sit back and be in WONDER and AMAZEMENT……Enjoy the possibilities of the greatness of our DIVINE!

When GOD has a plan for you that’s BIGGER than you – no one….and I do mean NO ONE can stop you……

Stay focused and think BIG!

Remember, may the possibilities of today excite you!

Hello Girlfriends – change your thoughts and watch how your life changes.

Albert Einstein quoted, “you can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”

We can create all sorts of problems for ourselves in life.  Most of these problems stem from thinking life is greener on the other side – until you get to the other side, and you find out you didn’t have it so bad.  In the process of discovering what the other side has to offer is where the problems are created.  All the decisions we make and have made in our past are what shapes us to who we are today.  Like Albert Einstein stated, “you can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”  So in turn we must change our thoughts and change our minds.

Personal breakthroughs happen when we change our core beliefs – so how do we change our core beliefs?

• Question old beliefs – do they serve you anymore and where did they come from?
• The habit of the same thoughts is repetition like riding a bike -awareness of changing our
       thought pattern is key
• It’s not CAN you but WILL you?
• Living in your truth and not what others feel should be your truth

Eckhart Tolle states, “if I no longer inflict suffering on myself, I won’t inflict suffering on others – for the two go together.”  If you put your thoughts on what always has been – whatever has been will always show up in your life. 

Manifestation = Visualization + Emotion x Repetition

Here is another quote by one of my favorite singers – Willie Nelson - (yes, I can get crazy like that by having Eckhart Tolle and Willie Nelson on the same page – it spices up life)…

“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.”

Think of your past as the wake of a boat – the wake is a trail left behind – present moment energy is driving the boat – can a trail that is left behind make the boat go forward?  You see as you live in the present moment you are in the driver seat and are steering the boat called life.

Once we change our thoughts we can actually watch how our life changes.

Carl Jung stated, “our most important problems cannot be solved, they must be outgrown.  We have to grow up.”  This statement allows me to see that we must get out of the victim roles.  Growing up to actually know who we are and living in the truth of who we are.  Accepting ourselves and keeping our dreams alive; growing up each day to knowledge, to be open to change and become better people for ourselves first and then for the world.

Remember, may the possibilities of today excite us all!

Hello Girlfriends – What is the J-Junk, you ask?  I came up with this term today when I was talking about being judged.  I discovered that as a child I was always pegged by my family as the quiet one, the one that would sit and not speak; sweet, angelic little girl.  How many of you also had this label?  To me the J-Junk stands for the “Judgment Junk” that we learn as children.  I learned this type of behavior as I observed my father judging and belittling my mother as I sat and watched my mother being victimized.  Looking back, I realized that I was a very smart little girl.  I learned to stay quiet, in order that I not be judged from my judgemental father.

I spent years fearing the idea of giving speeches in front of my classmates or talking in front of groups.  I didn’t want to be judged!
 
As I grew older, I didn’t feel comfortable stating how I felt, so I followed the crowd.  I hope you can see how much influence our parents have on us.  We carry tapes of their voices, and even if we move on in other areas of our lives – there can be parts that we don’t realize still have a hold on us.  As an adult, you come to a point where you must speak the truth and claim your truth.
 
How many of us are afraid to have our own voices in fear of being judged?  Because of fear we remain quiet – who wants to be judged?  Who are you hurting by being quiet, by not living in the truth?  I believe you know the answer – you hurt yourself and no one else.  You must remain true and authentic to self in order to truly live for your purpose in life.
 
We have to dig deep sometimes and find where those old tapes lie within us?  Who put those tapes there?  Our choice is to either keep them there or realize that these old tapes don’t serve us anymore. It’s time to put them in the trash once and for all and start living in your truth! 

“Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.” Stephen Covey, author and speaker.

Hello Girlfriends – Eleanor Roosevelt stated, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Challenges are beautiful opportunities in disguise.  Our dreams, our passions, our purposes in life – those opportunities are wanting something so bad, but not knowing how to achieve it.  If we sit back, it usually doesn’t come knocking on our door.  If we believe in what we are doing, we must go out and get it!  The more common is that we have to get out there and make our own way.  This teaches us perseverance.  This takes tenacity, persistence, desire, and determination.  How badly do we want something? I’ve always worked under the influence that if I want it bad enough – I go get it! I don’t like where I live, the job I’m in then do something about it. This indicates a time for a change; time to go to investigate new possibilities.

We must not get complacent and be okay not liking the way we are living, the job we are in, a relationship that is dysfunctional at best.  I believe it’s easier to stay in a situation than change the situation.  Of course, FEAR gets in the way.  FEAR stands for False Evidence Appearing Real.  We get scared of taking the leap of faith and actually jumping to new ground.  A much needed move may be exactly what will transform your life, but we stay stuck in the same place.  Some other reasons of not being able to move on would be children, spouses, jobs. I say it’s time to stop using these people in our lives as excuses.  If we don’t like something bad enough, then we’ll want and desire a change.  We must go out there and find our new possibilities. I assure you that they are out there; it’s our minds that can’t grasp that we can actually do something about it. We limit ourselves to thinking small - it’s time to think BIG! We must get out of our boxes and go play in this vast world that is before us.

Desire and Determination WILL take you to new heights

The paradox in life is that we can often stare for so long at the door which has closed; that we can miss a new one that has opened!
