The truth be known– the responsibility for all that is happening and all that will happen in my life falls on ‘Me’. If our inner world is out of balance and not performing in alignment with our Higher Self, it cannot perform in harmony with the outside world either. That is a Law of Nature!

Sluggishness-mediocrity-apathy or self-doubt and fear are all signs of an ordinary existence. That is not what I want for my life! In fact, I have never settled for that belief or that state. I have always looked at myself as someone who was born to be more. Who has a purpose and a reason for being and that has been the force behind my desire to push harder, learn more, be disciplined and most of all be open to new possibilities and change. My first warning sign was that I really did not love myself unconditionally.

At first those three little words (love myself unconditionally) had very little meaning, but as I continued to dig deeper into myself and ask questions from my Divine Team, I soon discovered that I was letting myself down.

My gut instincts, my intuition never lies. I may lie to myself but my Higher Self never lies. So here I was getting naked with my truth! I was seeking clarity in my vision for my life. I needed to be honest with myself and make some powerful and deliberate decisions for me if I truly wanted to push through to the other side where the light was brightly shining. I wanted to shine too!

It is through the various processes that I developed and fine-tuned for myself that I am now teaching to my students. This is the same process that I have written about in my latest book: Love-Heal-Fulfill, the Gift of Knowing you.

Once I made the decision to love myself unconditionally, I was ready to take a big step towards healing those unwanted emotions that have been haunting me, hindering my life and keeping me imprisoned. Now I can honestly say, I am living the life that I was born to live. I have lost 60 pounds, I look and feel better, my outlook is healthier and my choices are solidly grounded in what best serves my forward movement and me. I am taking full responsibility for my life and I feel completely in charge of my destiny. My Divine Team is my guiding light. My thoughts and vision are clearly on my end goal and I am proud of who I am. So I ask you the question: “What life and lifestyle are you choosing for yourself?” Are you content with being mediocre or do you have a grander vision and purpose for yourself?

Let us together strive to be extraordinary because the world needs more people like us to make it work smoothly and peacefully.

Of course most of us would say Hawaii is so beautiful that it is a given. However, even though they have many natural preserves and ideal scenery, it isn’t only the natural environment that is the only factor, it is also the emotional state of the people who reside in a particular location that needs to be considered.

We, the people who live in the different parts of the country are the ones who actually determine the response that is felt and that contributes to the healthy or ‘less than’ outcome.

No matter where you live, it is the emotional and mental outlook, your state of mind that influences how you feel and how you actually respond to life’s challenges. Your physical health, which includes the level of exercise and mobility that a person achieves daily also contributes to your overall well-being.

As a species, we need to enjoy the moments of our lives as they unfold. That absolutely requires us to reduce our stress level, release our anxiety and exhibit less anger and resentment. A tall order for a society that is highly motivated and decidedly driven to push the limits of our lives daily.

Being grateful and expressing appreciation for who you are and what you have is also an attribute that will foster greater positive feelings and thoughts. Sharing and being compassionate towards others is an asset. Why you might ask-because when you give out of concern or express caring to another you actually feed your soul and help heal your own inner misgivings at the same time.

We all have strengths and weaknesses but the key is to be conscious of what really serves you and know what depletes you on a regular basis. When you exercise more, have fewer addictions such as smoking or drugs and also have a job that you absolutely enjoy, your life and your lifestyle improves markedly. It is, therefore, imperative that each one of us takes responsibility for where we are on our Earthly journey and then decide how we want it to continually play out. In other words, be accountable for your behavior and your attitudes because they matter.

Maybe it is time for you to pay attention to where you are placing your focus and how you wish your life to play out? Change is possible for each one of us. When you are open to experience change and allow it to alter your behavior and environment you will be inspired to live your best life yet. You have the opportunity to create the lifestyle that will encourage an improved state of mind as well as an enhanced overall healthy pattern to a more meaningful life.

Make a commitment to yourself to examine the experiences that you are facing today and decide if they are actually serving you or hindering your health and well-being. As always, each one of us gets to decide how we want to feel d

That is, are you experiencing pains because of the choices that you made? We all have life lessons that must be learned or we will go through them over and over again until we get them right. Yes-it is painful to experience those situations but God is stronger than we are and he will not relent on us. He knows why we came to Earth and one of the main reasons is so that we grow, change and deal with our issues.

If we continually refuse to learn our lessons, those situations will continually surface in one form or another until we are ready to pay attention and make the necessary changes in our course direction.

We need to take the time to understand and recognize all those reasons of why we have had these situations surface and re-surface over and over again. Of course, it is uncomfortable to have these experiences but the key in life is no matter what is going on we must come from the mindset that we are a leader over our lives and we are in charge. Don’t allow your experiences, your past or your emotions to take you out. It is time for you to tap into your wholeness and truly honor the strength and courage inside of you!

I want to persuade you to start waking up to your life’s lessons! Start becoming stronger and more willing to understand why this painful portion in your life is a piece of the puzzle that can become a force for good. Get up and go out of your old way of thinking and start opening your mind, your heart and your soul for opportunities that will enable you to finally learn your lesson. If you need guidance or direction, seek it. Call and make an appointment with me allow me to be a part of your support team.

This is your time to try to find a purpose for your future. Believe it, live your life that way and know that this difficult moment in time will pass. Know that in the end, you will be able to stand tall and say: “I did it! I got through it and I understand the purpose and reason for it now; that is why I am thankful to the Lord for showing me the way.”

Each one of us experiences some form of pain in our lives. Know that it is for a purpose and that as you move beyond your difficulties, a new beginning is being birthed and waiting for you to stand in your glory.

No matter what kind of background you started out in or what you have been told, your future is solely in your hands. This is your time to strengthen your confidence, broaden your thinking and ignite your passion for what brings you Joy in your life. You and you alone hold the key for your glory! You and you alone have the power to change your environment and your attitude and Yes, you and you alone can improve and realize what your future will hold for you when you become full of the wisdom bestowed upon you by the Lord and stop ignoring those things inside of you that will thrust you forward towards your greatness.

Don’t give your personal demons the power over your mind-body or spirit. Your future depends upon you! It is your right to make your life something to be proud of-if you choose it!

This is a question that many people ask themselves daily – Are you on a journey or a treadmill? We are all busy and overwhelmed by the high speed of progress, speed on the highways and the information age which forces us to keep up or forever be lost in the abyss. The more you are willing to slow down and understand this question, the more you will begin to have a better understanding of yourself. The relationship you have with yourself is vital for your existence in a confusing world. It is all about learning to live a life that is healthy and more fulfilling because it is in balance and harmony.

Seeing the bigger picture is huge when it comes to feeling good about yourself and your environment because it helps you integrate and imagine how the pieces fit together for your self- awareness. It is like acquiring a deeper sense of hearing- seeing and being more alert, alive and fully in tune with self. Just like a blind person who develops a more acute sense of hearing, you, too, need to develop a higher sense of intuition, your innate attributes and your God given talents as you learn to excel at problem-solving. Seeing the bigger picture and simplifying the difficulties that you experience daily is key to your personal growth as you learn to live a more harmonious and balanced lifestyle.

Improving your ability to listen- hear and see the bigger picture of life as it relates to you means that you can move out of the shadows of life and enjoy the rainbow of various colors. That includes stretching your imagination, of developing your creativity and then integrating the power of your own unique blend of magic as you see it. This, in itself, will be a valuable tool to help you reach your best in a world that is competitive and often out of balance.

The magic of discovery and living a balanced life has a great deal to do with making choices regarding what is important to you and then finding a real sense of steadiness that equalizes your mind, body and spirit so that you are living in harmony in all areas of your life. In life, we must make decisions as to what is important to us and what can be eliminated or at least moved to a lesser status on the ladder of importance. We all have commitments and things that need our attention but the real question is what is really important and what brings you joy? If something does not truly serve you and bring you joy, you need to find a way to remove it from your calendar of events or relegate that experience to someone else who is better suited to take over that task.

People who live a somewhat balanced life may not have all the answers but they certainly know how to live each season of their lives with greater harmony and purpose. That should be your goal. When we are out of balance, we are also out of focus, which also means that we are close to burnout before we are aware of the warning signs that say our poor decisions have brought us to this dangerous point.

We definitely do not want to run on empty! Most people are crunched for time, feeling stressed over the pressures of life and the high-pace of activity that makes them feel as though they are weighed down by too many choices that we all experience daily.

The best way to remedy those complex feelings is to learn how to distinguish between what really matters for you and what simply annoys you and your senses. How much better will your life feel when you are prepared to cope more fully as your life takes on new meaning and purpose.

Our primary mission is to tap into the power within us, that is, our soul power, our intuitive power and the power to feel free. We might have a burning desire to fulfill our purpose but if we do not make a conscious decision to move in that direction, we will miss the mark and constantly wonder why we feel empty and unfulfilled. So as you continue to answer my initial question on how do you view your life, I encourage you to slow down, create a plan for your life and consciously make choices that will bring you a greater sense of fulfillment, joy and magic. After all, this is your life and you are designer of it.

Coral gets stressed and when that occurs it is more likely to get sick with disease. Some of the disease is known as black spots, white pox and another is called hot spots of disease. There is a direct relationship between coral health and sickness to that of humans. Stress, extreme anxiety and deep anger cause a chemical reaction within the cells of humans and activates those negative cells that start to infiltrate and take over the healthy cells thus causing the beginning of sickness and disease. The immune system is being compromised and when it is sufficiently weakened, it loses its ability to fight off sickness.

The ocean waters are warming and thus causing stress with the life of numerous of its plants that grow in the waters. Coral bleaching is taking place due to the change in conditions of the ocean environment. Through research and various studies, it has been observed that there are some disease-resistant corals that are thriving. Those have a more active immune system than others. That means that we need to look for ways to make more corals healthier and free from disease.

We all have different sets of genes – the main point of discussion is, why are some people less susceptible to disease than others just like the corals? Some of us are influenced by different things and as a result, we constantly need to make a conscious effort to stay vigilant as to the way we let our emotions take us out and affect our mood, our behavior, and our attitudes.

So what do we do to stay healthy, in a good physical state and vital in our emotional and mental state as well? We can live a life in a good state of aliveness and without negative threats that will overtake our bodies when we develop ways and/or methods to reduce disease progression so we can stay resilient and fit.

How do we, individually and collectively protect the people of the world in an environment that is constantly being contaminated and compromised by negative emotional energy such as anger, resentment, greed, shame and unforgiveness? It requires a humble spirit, a willing heart and a disciplined mind that will stay alert to all the challenges we face daily. Don’t buy into all that the media or society has to offer, instead be particular. Select only those books, articles, movies, and lifestyle etc. that will nurture your entire being because the contamination starts in many of those areas and affect our thinking, our behavior and our overall environment. A healthy life lies in the eye of the beholder. We all make choices daily that affect our overall well-being. I encourage you to be discriminating and careful as to the way you value your life on a daily basis and how you want your story to end.

We often choose to ignore the messages to heal our mind and bodies and blame our continual misery on God or someone outside of ourselves. We need someone to blame and it is so easy to accuse others, so that when we don’t feel better, rather than stop and really think about why we are feeling ill, frustrated, or unloved, we shift the responsibility on someone or something else. We expend so much energy searching on the outside for the cause of our problems that we lose sight of the real cause and tend to focus on the effect, the result that has left us feeling lost.

What we are dealing with is what I call roadblocks. We are very good at building roadblocks around us, not conscious of the fact that if we want to shape our future; we need to create a positive plan of action. We do not want anyone to know how we feel because we do not want to be vulnerable to his or her reactions. A powerful tool to assist you in releasing your blocks is writing out your thoughts. The process of writing allows you to write without filtering what you are thinking from what you are feeling. When you simply allow your hand to write exactly what is moving through your conscious mind at the moment, you will soon discover a thought, idea or concept that has been hidden within your subconscious mind. This self-realization is powerful and helpful because it will allow you to take control of the direction you choose to follow and take responsibility for your actions.

Centering ourselves daily is an important and necessary tool to listening and receiving the messages from our Source. To center oneself means to focus your thinking on calmness, quiet, thinking of self-love, well-being or nothingness. It is the quieting of Ego-self in order to hear Inner-self. Allow yourself a few minutes each day to focus on nothingness in a setting where you are not likely to be disturbed. As with the butterfly, when we sit quietly and calmly, we allow the Little Voice within to move in closely and be heard. At the same time that we are quieting ourselves, we are also creating a peaceful quality in the surrounding atmosphere in which we are sitting. This in turn, allows one to re-balance and release, for a moment, their anxiety, fears and frustrations thus re-directing their energies in a positive way. Then when you sit down to write, you will be writing from your heart not your ego mind.

Our bodies want to support us and fill us with loving and healing energy but it is teamwork that is required for this process to unfold properly.

Most of us spend a lot of time buying clothes to improve our body, make-up or hair products to make us look younger or sometimes older, more attractive, more desirable, or whatever quality we are trying to achieve. But I believe that most of us have either forgotten or never taken the time to realize that the flesh, the body, cells and bones that cover our being is simply that– cover. The real you and me is the being inside who is beautiful, pure, loving, kind, gentle and simply wonderful. We are spirit beings who have chosen to come to this planet Earth to fulfill a contract, a task so we took on a body shape and voila! Here we are.

When I finally was able to sit and look at myself, my inner self for a few moments, I started to understand my persona, my inner being who is the essence of who I am. This practice allowed me to see through me-to watch, observe and appreciate me without criticism. Oh, yes, for sure, there were things that I saw and didn’t like it but I needed to make an apology to myself for them, ask my body for forgiveness and send it love. I needed to heal myself, to heal my longing heart that has been crying out in pain and my body that has been sending me signals for a long time. I just simply ignored them. I started to learn that I needed to release all guilt; I could not heal if I felt guilty. Guilt is a destructive emotion. It has no value to a person who is trying to heal and move into the higher vibrational realm of love, joy, peace and balance. The guilt that you hold in your heart and mind is what makes life difficult for you so get off it! Release all guilt now from all past life experiences because you cannot do anything about them anyway. Release the guilt and learn – learn from your past experiences and transmute those negative emotions into a healing energy of forgiveness, that is, self-forgiveness, love, balance, joy, and ultimately, great inner peace. After I was able to focus on healing myself, I began to ready myself for the next step in the process of healing my life. It doesn’t matter how old you are, it is never too late to change and heal.

We become so attached to a feeling, a person or some event in our lives that we do not see any other new opportunities or pathways to progress to the next level. Some people love their pain, whether it be physical or emotional so much so, that they are afraid to let it go because then they will not know what to do to get the attention from others that they crave.

A strong ego or continual excuses often begets complacency, which stops our movement and/or progress. Negativity leads to undesirable consequences. Don’t let your arrogance and depressing attitude set you up for lack-that is, lack of joy, happiness or inner peace. Each one of us has the power to choose our destiny, our experiences. If you are stuck in a repetitive lifestyle and you seem to be going backward or in circles, then heed this: Open your eyes and open your mind. Raise your awareness through meditation, time in nature or prayer so that you can begin to see the potentiality that exists around you. Know that pride or arrogance can be an awesome feeling, but it takes a humbling experience to truly see the possibilities that surround you.

It is a most uncomfortable period in our lives to be caught up in the dysfunctional periods where nothing seems to be flowing and everything feels difficult to manage. I know that feeling because I have experienced it, however, I can truthfully say that as I was going through it, I was able to find a sense of ease and flow as I tried to understand what was happening in my life. Answers did not come immediately but with time, I was able to see more clearly the larger picture, which helped me stop challenging and start accepting the process of life.

Timing is everything! This is the perfect time to explore all those areas within us that are holding us back or preventing us from receiving our best.

If you are having this experience, maybe it is time for you to slow down your energy and see what needs to be done differently in order for your life to flow once again. I admit it is an uncomfortable time yet I suggest that you may need to simply be patient. Did you ever think that possibly God is trying to get your attention and cause you to think through all those areas of your life that aren’t working? Without a doubt, it will force you to examine your various situations. Maybe this test in time is necessary in order for you to better understand where you need to be so you can appropriately achieve your best. God always has a plan for us so don’t get overly frustrated; instead use this time for your good.

Timing is everything! I didn’t like to hear those words because I believed I was prepared but I know that if I am not flowing the way I expect, God must be telling me that I need more refining; I have more work to do in order to flow freely. Never underestimate the power of God! God is putting us in certain situations to let us better know about those areas that need our attention and improved concentration. God wants us to stir our gifts and talents and refine our interests. He wants us to rise up and do something that will make us shake off our disappointments and seek out better ways to get us to our deserved destination.

We are all well able to accomplish our true purpose for our lives. God is preparing us for our new opportunities and our new growth. This is not the time to complain or to feel defeated but rather to ready our minds, body and emotional state. Sometimes our set backs are Divinely orchestrated, so I ask you to slow down your mind, be patient with yourself and see if God is using your situations to refine you, improve your mind set and redirect your energy. Is this your time to grow stronger, more confident and more resilient? Only you can answer that question!

I do, however, ask you not to move into a state of depression or doubt, but rather, use this time to trust God, gain greater insight and stay in faith knowing that She/He has a far greater vision for your life than you can imagine.

Once you realize what your niche is, it is like being a child who first learns how to link the alphabet together to form words. It is an awesome feeling finally being able to unfold the treasure that you have had available to you all along but were not quite sure what it all meant or how to successfully use it.

The same holds true to those of you who have struggled throughout your life because of missed opportunities. You work hard day in and day out; and by the end of the year, you look back and wonder where all your money has gone, where the time has gone or perhaps why things keep happening to you over and over again. I promise that misfortune is not out to get you. What is happening, however, is the fact that you have locked away your niche and are not using it to your best potentiality. A good example of that is in one of my past clients. As the proverbial “starving artist”, he had worked retail management jobs for the better part of his life until he wanted to make a full-time career out of his “hobby,” that is, of painting beautiful structures on canvas. “I want to be a renowned artist like Michelangelo or Picasso,” he said. His satisfaction came from the recognition of his artwork. By the time he completed my one-on-one lifestyle coaching program, he had discovered his niche and re-discovered his passion. He was ready to take his ability to the next level, but it was not nearly what he thought it would be. Let’s call him Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith decided to take night classes to finish his degree in the arts and became a teacher where he now teaches architecture and landscaping. Not only is he recognized for the great work that he does with these young adults in the community, he also gets to show others how to facilitate their own gifts to create their own useful works of art as they enliven their lives.

There are countless others, who have turned one, two and even more numerous gifts into something useful, joyful and gratifying in their lives. Like Mr. Smith, they possess a unique niche but have neither discovered their gifts, nor have they sought other avenues to further their prospects with those gifts. But I can say that it is never too late to start a new venture on your journey toward your greatest joy. Sometimes individuals become so focused on an idea that they do not see other paths they can take to fulfill their life’s dreams. This also applies to acquiring things and even people in our lives. Maybe we are trying so hard to make sure that our present life works that we miss the bigger picture of exploring other possibilities that are more fulfilling.

I know people who are trying so hard to meet the love of their life that they lose sight of what might just be right around the corner for them. From this moment on, I do not want you to focus so much on trying to get everything at once, or just get one thing – rather, I want you to say to yourself: “Everything is as it should be.” Remember, all things happen in life to help us to grow emotionally, mentally, spiritually and even professionally. When you learn to let go and let God steer your way, or simply allow the flow of the Universal Energy to enlighten your path, you unexpectedly will discover the niche you were intended to enjoy in order to fulfill your life’s journey.

I have a great deal of information and articles on my website that will help you grow and fulfill your highest best good. Don’t waste another day doing something that is low energy as it causes you to miss your fullest. Make the time to find your niche and enjoy the richness for your life today.
