The people.

My people.

Your people.

Our people are hurting.

Everyone I meet.

Friends, Family, People I just meet are hurting.

It’s raw. It’s real.

I see it. You see it.

WE experience it as humanity.

AND

We will always experience it as humanity.

And it won’t go away, but I don’t ever think that was the goal of the human experience.

We experience it because we are all connected.

The problem?

Everyone is looking to everyone else to be their savior.

Everyone is always looking for the way out.

The cure, the medication, the continuous happy, the new relationship, the money to fix the problem, the be-all-end-all-solutions, the creation of new jobs, the economy, heck… even the stock market…

Waiting on the world.

We’ve become, in many cases, the people waiting for the world to change, to bend to us, for the other people to get it, for the people who did us wrong to get it….

The truth is –

It’s actually not other people’s job to:

• change the world
• give you a job
• show up in a “certain defined” way
• bend to you
• tell you the next step
• fix you
• “get it”
• to like you
• to love you

This.

The above list.

It’s YOUR job.

It’s YOUR job to BE first. (BE as in Being… for clarity)

It’s YOUR job to show up, to create, to BE LOVE.

It’s YOUR responsibility.

It’s YOUR responsibility to FIND THE MIRACLE.

And guess what!

The miracle always starts with you!

Your shift in perception.

Your new way of looking at things.

Your spirit of hope.

Your shining light.

Something we, as humans, have to protect.

Don’t you get it yet?

THE MIRACLE IS WITHIN YOU!

THE MIRACLE COMES FROM YOU!

Miracles are not ‘outside’ of you.

Miracles are not for other people.

Miracles are for you.

LOOK FOR THE MIRACLE WITHIN YOU!

I guarantee you will find it.

Ask.

Ask & Receive.

It’s a promise made to you.

A DIVINE promise made to you.

Miracles don’t always show up as grand gestures.

Many times miracles show up as small whispers, a small shift in perception, a tweak, a pebble dropped in the creek.

I believe many people are scared to ask for miracles.

I believe so many of us think that when something good happens to us that surely something bad will follow.

We have created all these silly beliefs around miracles and almost anything good that will happen to us – superstitious anyone?!

Many people think they do not deserve miracles to show up in their life.

That they aren’t good enough or don’t deserve the FULL blessings of the Divine on their life.

On that note, can I tell you secret?

Okay, maybe not so secret, but when you figure this out for yourself – nothing can really touch you or stop you from really staying connected to your purpose, your desires, your divine calling.

That you create EVERY PART of your life.

It’s you.

It’s when you realize you have the power within to create the life of your dreams, all your desires – that everything you ever dreamed could come true.

ALL OF IT.

So, good news and bad news.

Bad news is that you’ll have to stop blaming everyone for your bad day, your bad mood, your crappy life:

the ex, the jerky-boss, the client that left you, the guy who cut you off in traffic, your whiny children, other people’s whiny children 🙂

Ya, when your excuses go out the window – what are you left with?

Just you my love.

And here’s the GOOD NEWS!

The miracles are within you and flow through you out into the world!

You get to take your power back.

You get to get out of your crappy financial rut.

You get to get your HEALTHY body back.

You get to create the relationships of your dreams (this includes peaceful happy relationships with your ex).

You get to BE love and compassion for your children and other people’s children.

You get to find love & compassion for the people, including your boss, who didn’t treat you very good – the people who chewed you up and spit you out.

You get to create the job of your dreams, and travel the world, explore, invent and make a difference.

You GET TO BE THE MIRACLE.

As you are.

You are THE MIRACLE.

(I don’t know how else to shake you up than to grab you on the shoulders and tell you that! You are the ducking miracle my love!))

BE THAT.

LIVE IN THAT SPLENDOR.

The Divine doesn’t make mistakes.

None of your past was a mistake.

Stand in the belief that it is all for your highest good, and TRUST that.

Find peace in that.

Find even the teeny tiniest place within you where ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Because there you will…

Live YOUR Legacy.

My Love, Lisa

PS. If you know it’s your time to take that next step and get out of your financial rut – you need to make sure you have received the gift from me at financialbliss.ca

PPS. Please forward to a friend if you think they need to hear this message! <3

What to give when you feel you’ve given it all?

What to do when you feel you’ve done it all?

What to say when you feel you’ve said it all?

KEEP DOING IT!

There’s always more to share, always more to give.

When you are connected to source –

When you are plugged in –

When you are LIT on FIRE –

YOU FIND THE ENERGY!

You bring the energy to your work, your family, your business, your art, your body, your LIFE!

When you are are down, depressed, feeling like you don’t want to leave your bed – that’s when you need to dig deep and get connected to your why, and then take the smallest action.

The funny thing is this – you will rarely ever know the how, the what, the where, the when, the who –

But YOU NEED TO KNOW THEY WHY.

The WHY is your responsibility.

That is the only thing you really need to know!

The rest comes through action and with this blind faith (faith in and of itself is blind anyways – so I guess it’s just faith!)

And a deep knowing that it’s not your job to save the world!
It’s your job to be YOU!

Want to know what the greatest feeling in the world is (next to LOVE, obvi) is when you keep your word to yourself!

BEST FEELING EVER!

When you crush the goals, the schedule you set out to do, your to-do list:

-that’s when you get all powered up

-that’s when you get to take your power back and

-that’s when you get to re-build trust with yourself!

Guess what happened along the way in life when you continually let yourself down, over and over again, and hence, like any relationship, you began not to trust yourself.

You continually are saying you are going to do one thing and end up doing another.

Salad vs. Nutella?!?!

Look at where you are right now….

That problem you are facing, that irritation in your life, that person you don’t really like or gel with, the situation you find toxic – it’s all there because you didn’t have your own back, you didn’t keep your word to yourself and you somewhere along the way stopped trusting yourself.

This is when that yucky word we hate NEEDS to come back into focus.

RESPONSIBILITY.

Taking RESPONSIBILITY for the situations we are in.

But…..You succumbed!

You gave in!

You thought that saving their feelings was more important than your own!

You don’t own the fact that you created every thing that is happening to you in your life.

You still think that you came here to save the world!

Guess what?!?!?

Saving the world is NOT your job!

Your JOB is to basically save yourself from the world.

Follow me here… it’s really one’s own personal journey and their own job to ‘do the work’.

You know you can’t really save anyone.

You can lead. You can show. You can set an example. You can be a light.

You can lead the horse to water, but never make him drink.

So why are you still trying so DARN HARD to save the world?

Why are you still giving up your power to a world that you can’t change?

Why haven’t you decided to be the lighthouse and draw the ships to you?

When I’ve written over 500,000 words in the last few years (that’s not that much by the way…do the math…) and what I’m always scared of is that I feel like I’m going to repeat myself, or that it’s all been done before, or that I’m going to run out of things to say (funny – for anyone that knows me!) and here’s the deal with your art, with your souls work…..

YOU CAN NEVER RUN OUT OF ART OR IDEAS OR DREAMS OR MONEY OR ANYTHING WHEN YOU ARE CONNECTED TO THE NEVER ENDING SOURCE OF ENERGY (POWER, KNOWLEDGE, & DIVINE GRACE…. aka. GOD)

So how do you get connected?

AND how do you really get to make a difference in the world, maybe even be a light in this world?

Good question!

My personal opinion is to tune in, ask and receive.

Ask for the idea.

Ask for the dream.

Ask for the money.

Ask.

Ask.

Ask.

When did you stop asking?

Because whatever it is you are lacking right now, do you think it’s because at some point you stopped asking, you stopped believing?

Probably.

I know I did.

“IT FEELS LIKE IT’S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN”

Well, here’s the God’s honest truth – DON’T QUIT.

Don’t quit right before the magic happens!

Because your VEIN OF GOLD is like one inch away from you discovering it.

Stay the course.

Be consistent.

Be persistent.

Be you.

DO YOU.

Don’t worry about the rest of the world.

You’ll get to your desired goal when you focus on your desired outcome.

You get to take the world off your shoulders now.

PHEW!

Doesn’t that feel better?!

You now get to SAVE yourself and really create the life you want!

That’s the promise that was made to you, so you can….

Live YOUR Legacy!

xxL

I’m so over it!

The advice.

All the advice.

Don’t tell me what to do unless you want to be standing behind the buck when it decides to kick up its feet!

And it’s not your usual suspects – like

It’s really the well meaning people of your life.

When can ANYONE on the planet really know whats good for you?

It’s always, as it always has been, up to you to actually learn to tune into your higher self – your intuition – and follow it.

The problem I believe is 2 fold:

One) That we have no time to tune in and actually hear ourselves think

and

B) That when we do get the nudges of intuition from our higher self we don’t TRUST them

The first problemo UNO, is probably where 90% of people actually fall into.

I’m too busy.

Lamest excuse ever.

I will say that it really isn’t that most people are busy, most people could make time – have the time.

I think it’s way bigger than that.

I would say most people don’t want to look in the mirror.

The fear of facing themselves is too great, so they sit with Candy Crush or watch the news – ANYTHING to not actually have to look inside and actually admit what’s going on in their world.

They are like this 24/7.

Creating some noise in their head so they don’t actually have to quiet down and think for a few minutes a day (which is really all it would take to tune in!)

The hardest thing you will ever have to do is unveil your true self to your true self and then deal with the fall out:

forgiveness, knowing you are worthy, loving yourself.

Most people don’t.

NEVER be “most people”.

It’s a rotten way to be.

Then comes B.

You do actually begin to tune in, pray, meditate, QUIET your mind, body & soul to ALLOW whatever messages need to come through you and then…..

BOOM!

You get the download!

The GREAT idea!

The HELL YES!

Then…..

Ummm…..

But what if…..

I can’t…..

MONKEY MIND goes nuts.

Brain totally talks you out of your *brilliant* truth – which you actually know is your truth, the next step you are to take – but don’t!

You go into the biggest resistance of your life.

Faking that all is okay, meanwhile you are just placating your soul with Netflix, 1990’s Meg Ryan movies because if you could just go back there, life could be, would be different……..

Then for what you KNEW was your truth, the answer you were seeking is now a few weeks behind you.

You made it so damn hard on yourself for what?

Fear – being scared to actually step out and have your back on whatever it was that you were so desperately looking for.

Your soul handed you the keys to the kingdom of WHATEVER YOUR dreams were and you basically threw them right back at her.

Oh boy….

And you wonder why we are in the place that we are?

The place where society doesn’t seem to trust anyone?

It’s no wonder, considering we can’t even trust ourselves – we don’t even have our own back….

I made a huge decision last week.

BUT… I knew ONE YEAR AGO to make this decision, and didn’t.

I was always wanting everyone and their dog’s opinion.

I got it.

Every opinion I ever wanted.

I got them all.

The “Yes”, the “No” and everything in between.

The problem when you go looking for advice and OPO (other people’s opinions) is that you will get HIGH on OPO!

But which HUMAN do you trust more with their opinion?

I mean after all, they ALL make a strong case for whatever it is that you are deciding.

So you STAY STUCK.

This is where the real damage is done my friends.

• In the place of in-action.
• In the place of lull.
• In the place of waiting on others.
• In the place of pause.
• In the place of procrastination.

Don’t be in that place. I’ve seen some people stay there forever!

One day….

one day is today….

One Day Is Today….

ONE DAY IS TODAY!

Have your own back means to really put yourself first!

Tune in and just bite the bullet and go for what it is that your higher self is leading you too!

Don’t look back.

This is NOT their journey – it’s yours.

Walk your walk.

Talk your talk.

Do YOU because only you do you best!

Follow your own advice

and don’t forget to….

Live Your Legacy!

PS. LAST CALL! Doors are closing FOREVER for this 10-day KICK IN THE PANTS start your September off right and APPRECIATE all areas of your life!  —> appreciatecourse.com

The beautiful bikini wearing girl with sun hat on her yacht in the South of France.

Trigger.

The girl who lost 20 lbs in one month, without going for a run.

Trigger.

Those yoga positions I can’t do.

Trigger.

25-year-olds making $1,000,000 a year from You Tube Ads.

Trigger.

Women who have a more successful business than moi.

Trigger.

Anyone on any trip anywhere or anyone who can fit into a size 8 (or less).

Just flat out TRIGGERED!

It’s happening.

It’s happening all the time.

Social Media, News, Gossip, Work, Social Events…are making you angry, frustrated, mad, sad, depressed.

There’s an entire whole host of negative emotions that can just “not feel good”.

You can barely do anything these days without getting triggered about something.

One second you are on top of the world, then BOOM – you are in a heap on the ground.

This is life – yes, but even more so now with things splashed in our faces 24/7….

100 years ago, you probably only got triggered when the weekly print newspaper came out! (OMG – look at her Fascinator! She sewed that dress by hand… )

You get my point.

I’m guessing it’s worse in 2018 than any other time in history.

I’m going to walk you through exactly what I do every time something triggers me.

It’s a practice.

I won’t lie. It took work to get to this place.

And FAITH, CLARITY & CONFIDENCE.

It’s life changing gold!

Step 1: You have to recognize what it is that is triggering you.

All the gossip you hear is usually something that has someone else triggered.

All the gossip you speak – that’s usually nothing more than what’s triggering you.

What are you ranting about lately? That’s usually a good indication.

You sometimes have to dig deep to find out why, but it usually relates to one of these 3 ares:

Love, Money, Health

Step 2: You have to find a way to take (consistent) action on what you want for your life.

If it’s a relationship you want, then go date.

If it’s money you want, then go make some sales, pick up the phone, network, get a job, etc.

If it’s health/body you want, go for a walk, eat better, or hire a coach, find a better doctor, try alternative treatments, etc.

DO YOUR BEST!

That’s all you can do.

And I’m going to take it one step further (one step more than my FB Live the other day)….

and let’s be clear here’s where the magic happens….

Step 3: Be GRATEFUL for the Trigger

Be thankful to the person who triggered you.

Send them a note, PM, DM, carrier pigeon and say “You inspired me today.”

The thing is this – without “them” living your dream life it’s impossible for you to have known what’s possible!

The fact that they went out and did what you want to do or created what you want to create or have what you want to have is YOUR BIGGEST BLESSING – because without them, if they didn’t exist, you wouldn’t know it was possible for you.

They showed up, and in true Law of Attraction form, you saw whatever it was that you needed to see.

It’s funny what you DIDN’T notice.

If you are happy with your relationship you didn’t see the happy couple.

If you are happy with your body size you didn’t see her bikini wearing body.

If you are happy with your bank account you didn’t see her yacht.

Do you get what I’m putting down here?

There’s a million things passing by your beautiful eyes every day.

Many of them WON’T trigger you.

And you are attracted to the things that trigger the BEEP out of you!

Your eyes MAGICALLY zero in on all the STUFF you want.

And guess what!

This is how it will always work.

This is how you are programmed.

For increase, to expand, to grow, to stretch, to BE ABUNDANT in all areas.

You will be dealing with triggers until you are in the nursing home and some hot babe in their 70’s is stealing your 80+-nursing-home boyfriend from you.

Knowing that TRIGGERS are going to be around you till the day you check out, you have to find a way to use them to your advantage.

Blessing another person with a note of thanks or a word of gratitude is always the BEST solution.

The other thing I do when I’m scrolling on FB or Insta, I will say a blessing to that person – so I may not actually contact them directly.

I will utter under my breath – “God, bless them!” or “Thank you for showing this to me, thank you for showing me it’s possible!”

PLUS – here’s what happens when you are doing your best in the area that’s triggering you & you are grateful – you actually stop creating negative emotions within and begin to focus on the fact that you are on your way to allowing/receiving in that area of your life.

Or in other words – you are changing your point of attraction – sending out a different signal which will SHIFT you to what it is that you DO want for your life.

You may not realize it now, but you are ONE step closer to having everything you desire, but you can’t stay trapped in negative emotion – so shift as FAST as you can out of the trigger or what ever negative emotion you are carrying around with you – so you can get to what you are really after….

feeling good.

or

a good feeling.

No matter how you say it – that’s what this whole thing (aka. LIFE) is really about….

All the time we spend chasing the money, love, health is only for one thing – to FEEL GOOD.

So, use the internal GPS you’ve been blessed with.

The negative emotion, the trigger, it’s sooo USEFUL in helping guide you to what you really want to create in you life.

So this begs the question to you my beautiful,

What do you want to create?

Because the life you create, is how you…

Live Your Legacy!

PS. I want to invite you to join me for a 10-day deep dive into APPRECIATING all areas of your life. Time to start this new school year off right! Plus, if you join me now I’m giving you one month of Wealth Spa for FREE! We are starting September 1 – check it out —> appreciatecourse.com

The reason you feel stuck in your life right now is NOT because you actually are.

It’s because you are feeling uninspired – you are either stuck in boredom or the opposite, anxiety.

You aren’t living in the FLOW ZONE. (This is kinda the optimal goal!)

I would even go as far to say that your anxiety about life right now – the worry, stress and overwhelm or the boredom (if you are on that end of the spectrum) is mostly caused by not having enough clarity for what you want, and not being in flow.

Flow being defined as a state of mind when your consciousness is harmoniously ordered, according to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

Or in my words: being in that place where you are present focused, in the zone, creating, making a difference where your whole world just seems to clicks with ease.

So, how do we really REALLY get clear on what we want to get to a flow state?

Ask questions.

“Why does my life suck?” Is NOT a good question to ask yourself!

You’ll get bad answers and continue down your vicious circle into the realms of despair.

Been there, got the t-shirt.

The trick here is to ask GOOD questions to gain clarity.

“How can I make my life better?”

“What do I need right now to be the best version of myself?”

Ask BETTER questions, get better answers.

Better Answers = Better Clarity

And like I’ve always said, the person with the most clarity wins.

It’s true.

The reason you are struggling in ANY area of your life right now is because of a lack of clarity.

Self-Reflection reveals that to me in SPADES!

I see exactly where I need some SERIOUS clarity in certain areas and keep waffling.

Like, exactly what are my physical body goals?

What exactly are my money goals for the year, month, day?

I’m very sure I’m a walking contradiction, especially when it comes to my goals.

This year I have probably like 10 different financial goals!

How do I know that? Well, I make my goals my passwords, and then realize that every one of my devices is a different number – GEEZ.

This doesn’t bode well for manifesting!

Let me tell you – I’m like a firework – off in all different directions! (And not like a good Katy Perry Firework!)

The same goes for my health, physical goals…. even my hobby goals or fun goals seem to be a disaster.

And then it comes back to this – NOT having your own back in certain areas of your life!

You want to know why you have anxiety, stress, worry, and all the crap in your life?

Easy to answer:

• Because you didn’t have your own back.
• Because you think life happens to you.
• Because you still have to be right about everything.
• Because you haven’t really learned to LET IT GO (see last week’s blog!)
• Because you didn’t follow through with your word to yourself.

And then it happens.

You feel like a completely sh*tty person for letting yourself down once again.

You know – deep down – that you created this mess your in.

Look at the body, the bank account, the relationships, the CRAP you’ve settled for.

Why are you settling?

Bad question.

We know why.

It’s the easy way out.

Better question.

What do you want to create in these few (very few) precious days you have left?

or another way of looking at it….

What’s it going to take to get you from where you are stuck and unclear right now to where you are living your best life?

Hand to paper.

Finger to keys.

Map it. Write it. Goal it. Intention it.

Paint it so clear in your mind that there is no turning back.

That what you want (having it all – in all areas of your life) is possible!

And baby, it’s possible.

It will happen for you.

Keep going with GREAT clarity.

and don’t forget…

Live Your Legacy!

COURSE STARTING SEP 1!

What are you waiting for? This is no doubt the best value you will find on the world wide web to take your life to the next level!

—-> appreciatecourse.com

The message is this: LET IT GO!

Because the OTHER shoe is dropping my friend, whether you like it or not!

(Hint: There’s always going to be a shoe dropping as you go through life.)

Shoes I take VERY seriously.

But the rest of life?

I don’t take that seriously. I mean, like most things in my life, I’m past the seriousness of most of it!

If you choose to take life seriously, that’s your choice. You won’t get out alive!

Me?

I CHOOSE FUN, laughter and responsibility and above all LIGHTNESS!

That’s my choice.

When you choose your life on purpose, the shoes can drop all around you and usually end up finding that you are OKAY.

I used to be the queen of holding on.

I still have over 500 (maybe 1000 sq. feet!) of STUFF in my basement in boxes.

I’m that person who literally SAVED everything.

Baby outfits (MINE! LOL!!), Cards from ALL my birthdays!, Yearbooks, All my Text Books (this is now a fire hazard!), plus – at one point I sewed, I did crafts, then not to mention my boxes labeled ‘Valentines’, ‘Thanksgiving’, ‘Halloween’, ‘Christmas’, ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ – YES, I even have boxes of decor for all the holidays – including ‘Oktoberfest’! (Don’t get me started on BOOKS!)

So as a life-long-hoarder, I’m still working on letting go. (Side note: My Opa had a farm full of junk – like old houses and cars – so I swear it’s hereditary!)

I love my little treasures.

(Side note: they are all labeled and organized and hiding in the basement – junk dare not show up in my actual living space! But yes, I do hold on to a LOT of stuff!)

Stuff is one thing to let go of, but getting over the rest of life – the stuff you can’t control – is another.

Letting go of the outcome.

Letting go of all the outcomes.

I know I have work to do on this.

I’m doing the work.

I’m taking responsibility.

And I’m having fun with it.

Holding life like a feather.

Why?

Maybe it’s time to let some things go.

I’ve actually made a list.

I have a LOT of things I’m going to let go!

And the things that I’m ready to let go of WILL create space for some new and exciting opportunities to come in.

Maybe its time to let go of:

• relationships that don’t serve you
• businesses that aren’t working
• negative thought patterns
• beliefs holding you back
• perfection
• perfection
• being the perfect mom (ha! ha! I let go of that 2 weeks in 10 years ago!)
• yelling
• yelling at kids (my fav summer activity – YIKES!)
• extra pounds?!?  Ya, those can go too!

Remember that your cup doesn’t need to be FULL!

A cup that is filled to the brim is so full that even one more drop of liquid will make it overflow.

Q for you.

Is your cup full of sludgy guck? (ie. stuff that doesn’t serve you where you are right now? stuff that doesn’t lift you up?)

Who really wants to live with their cup THAT full and full of STUFF that ain’t good?

That’s like drinking 5 cent draught beer! (Ughhh, I did that in college!)

I mean, why can’t you have a few sips of the good stuff and refill as needed?

I’m just saying that sometimes letting go of all the excess to make room for a few very specific things is the way to go.

It’s more classy.

Like champagne.

Be champagne.

Don’t be draught.

I could probably make T-Shirts out of these sayings.

But I won’t.

I’ll spare you.

However, don’t you think there’s something so calming and peaceful when you sit around people who aren’t scattered or all over the place.

People who aren’t full.

Calm, cool, collected – with room for more.

The space to create.

Also, when your energy is scattered, you better believe you won’t be attracting anything good into your life!

The money, the relationship, the body, that purse….. all the things that you want will flow easier to you when you are calm and centered – not flailing around with your arms flapping like a duck and squawking all over the place…. you get what I mean.

I’ve been there.

I’ve literally felt like a crazy person out of control.

Don’t even get me started on what that does to your anxiety level or how your skin reacts (zits, pimples – HELLO!)

Here’s a great thought to fill your cup with:

You and God together form a MAJORITY.

Think about that for a minute.

Isn’t that huge?!?!

If you and God together form a majority,

• Why are you still minoring in the minors?
• Why are you still living like the pauper?
• Why are you still allowing the crap you don’t want into your life?
• Why are you still filling your cup with cheap draught beer or bad wine?
• Why aren’t you letting it go?

Could what you are holding on so tightly to be something that’s holding you back from reaching the next level, living your best life?

Are you holding onto an outcome?

Are you giving your goals a chance to breath?

What a world it would be, for you my dear, if you let the people be people, the songs be songs, the no be the no, the yes be the yes and not let it mean anything about you?

For you my dear, what if you just took the world as it was: perfect imperfection.

What if you just took a deep breath and breathed it all in?

Breath.

Then.

Let.

It.

Go.

and you will….

Live Your Legacy!

Recently I was robbed!

I can’t lie.

They stole my JOY!

To be fair, I kinda let it hang out there for the taking.

As much as it was stolen, it probably ran from me.

And if I’m being honest, I probably just let it go – but blaming seems to somehow feel better in the interim.

Blaming actually feels justified.

It sometimes feels good to POUR out our responsibility onto someone else, anyone else, even blame the poor innocent guy walking down the street.

We like to cling to the fact that life happens to us. That we can’t do anything about it.

We want life to sometimes happen to us because when we happen to life, it gets scary.

That’s when we have to step out of our safe zone and enter into the fear zone.

Clearly it’s safer staying in the known part of life versus venturing out into the unknown part.

We stopped happening to it.

So here’s what I did to get it back:

I decided to happen to life.

I decided that life was mine for the taking.

I decided life was best done on my terms and that THAT is A-O-K!

I woke up in the middle of the night with this:

“You’re going to have to get over what other people did or didn’t do for you – it’s all about what you did or didn’t do for yourself. The real power lies there.”    – Lisa Elle

Yup, you can quote me on that.

OMG Squirrel, seriously, a cute squirrel is running about my feet as I’m writing this at the beach by the lake this morning. I’m not sidetracked ever!

AND this goes right into what I’m actually writing about today on how to get your power back.

To get you power back is actually easy.

First, you have to decide that you matter.

BOOM!  I don’t know about you, but it feels like EVERYONE on the planet has come before me lately, mostly family, then friends, but somewhere this summer I’ve lost myself, my routine, my 3-6 hours of alone time I need everyday to process and be happy.

There is no one to blame but me.

I get caught up in all the activities & festivities and forget about me.

STOP BEING SIDETRACKED and hence, putting everything else first!

When that happens, I’m usually not my happy optimistic self and my life suffers, as do the people around me.

So, best to remember to put me #1.

(And for the people that think that’s bad, get OVER it!)

Second, you have to stop blaming everyone and everything, including you.

This means take responsibility for where you are right now.

END. OF. STORY.

Third, get some clarity on your big vision.

How do you do that?

BE STILL.

Then…..

Create some plans.

Plan out your calendar.

Set a goal.

Always ask if what you are doing serves your BIG VISION.

The truth is this: You’ll always find the answers when you tune in.

My deal for today?

I’m taking back my power and for me personally that means getting clear on what I want.

Not waiting for someone else to make me an offer, for someone else to step in and save the day.

I’m going to have my own back.

I’m going to be my own hero in this story.

In my story.

There.

That FEELS better!

My JOY is back!

Live Your Legacy!

How do you find yourself?

The old cliché.

‘Finding Yourself’

Go to Tibet and sit with monks or find yourself a Shaman or Yagya?

Maybe watch Eat, Pray, Love a million times while gorging on ice cream?

Lock yourself in a cabin in the woods alone…

or complete a 10-day Vipassana?

Maybe you are one of the lucky ones and you aren’t lost?

I found myself recently.

On a toilet.

From trying the Eat, Pray, Love and giant tub of ice cream thing.

It doesn’t work.

From one soul to another – finding yourself is easy once you know what your looking for.

Me? Well, let’s say I’ve traveled many places, read many books, hired many teachers and laid with the singing bowls.

Finding yourself can be costly.

I mean, in a good way. After all, who doesn’t want to visit the monasteries of Italy?

Filling yourself with distractions is usually not the way to do it.

It’s actually much easier than that.

So, ya, I found myself.

It wasn’t a hallelujah moment when the sky departed and GOD himself came down and whispered in my ear.

The problem is that most of us are still waiting for that bolt of lightning, the clouds to part, the call from beyond, or a ghost to visit us in the middle of the night with an instruction manual, or even a pirate map would be good at this point.

We are all so desperately waiting for something to tap us on that shoulder and say “come forth my child and do this…”

It doesn’t work like that.

Maybe for a select few of really intuitive people who’ve honed their skills, but for the rest of us – there will be no bolt of lightning when it comes to finding ourselves, our true path, our calling.

Finding myself was UNEVENTFUL at best!

Sorry, not sorry, to disappoint.

The truth is you will need to pick up your magic wand and ANOINT & APPOINT yourself.

You still haven’t done that.

And that is why you are still STUCK in the “finding myself” phase – and will be forever and ever AMEN.

That is NOT the place you want to be STUCK.

Okay, it is fun for the first year when you are backpacking across Europe.

However, from one seeker to another – it gets old after a while, and you end up wishing you just comitted in the first place.

When you don’t find yourself, it eventually goes from FUN to BUM.

Yes, it becomes a bummer to flip-flop through your life. (See chapter 2 of my book: Strut)

YOU become a bummer to be around.

YOU have no direction and people who are directionless are B-O-R-I-N-G!

YOU end up attracting more BUMS around you.

However, there is a way to overcome all of this.

There is a way to FIND YOURSELF.

And of course, I want you to find yourself, so hence I’m sharing the STEPS to FINDING YOURSELF!

Here’s HOW I found myself and YOU can too!

STEP1: Assert your “I”

What?!

Follow me for a minute here.

When you use the word “I” you invoke the “WILL” or your innermost part of you, your spirit and ego and all the stuff you can’t see.

Using the word “I” is the most power of words. The word “I” is always used in setting an intention.

“I am going to exercise.”

“I need to get groceries.”

“I want to watch TV.”

You can’t NOT use “I” without setting an intention.

Even if the intention is trivial, like going to the bathroom, you still, in some way, shape, or form, set that intention.

AND YOU FOLLOW THROUGH.

Almost every time!

When you assert the “I” statements, you draw up from your internal “WILL” you actually end up “establishing a close connection between the Individual Will (your own personal desires) and the Universal Will (that of the universe or God, whatever you believe)” according to my ol’ pal William Walker Atkinson in his 1901 works on Thought Vibration. (Another great read from the past!)

The problem with many of us is that other than asserting ourselves for great purposes we don’t aim very high and claim what is rightfully ours.

We aim for comfort, not for the magnificent. 

Finding yourself requires one simple thing and that is asserting your “I” in a powerful way.

Create the statements of what you want to bring forth into your reality.

When you don’t know what you want to create or bring forth in your life you are scattered, directionless, and chaotic energy.

When you set the clear intentions of ‘I will’ or ‘I am’ you instantly create some order in your life, a path to follow.

You have found yourself when you have direction, and when you have direction, you have found meaning for your life.

Assert your “I”.

Then take it a step further and….

STEP 2: Claim Self-Mastery of Your Lower Self

What?!

Again, my good friend, William Walker Atkinson writes this.

AND it hit me on the head.

FINALLY!

This is where I flail about.

This is where I get stuck.

I imagine most of us do.

We haven’t mastered ourselves.

We haven’t mastered the “animal” part of us that just wants to eat, drink, and have sex all day long.

“All things are good when we learn to master them – but no thing is good when it masters us.” – William W. Atkinson

How are we to do amazing things when we are “slaves to the lower parts of our mental being”?

We are slave to our moods, passions, appetites, unworthy thoughts, negative thoughts – to name a few.

I ask myself then, “So, how do we master the parts of us that end up running the show?”

Ask good questions, get good answers.

To this, I have but one answer so far…

Give yourself some marching orders.

Your “rebellious” self is running the show.

Create a new show.

Get a new script.

Create new thoughts.

Get a new cast.

Take your rightful place as QUEEN (or KING) of the gong show you are calling your life right now.

Again, I speak to myself here. But, you know that you are called by the Divine to be the Queen/King of your life, so why are you letting the lower planes, lower vibrations, lower self take hold of you?

All I know is this, that all the people I admire, look up to, & who inspire me are the people who have mastered the lower levels of themselves.

They eat with restrain, exercise, do the work, have all the money and relationships and pretty much HAVE IT ALL!

And they have self-mastery in ALL areas. Not just one or two areas.

So, I encourage you to find yourself, where you are today, right here, right now.

Don’t wait!

Because today you….

Live Your Legacy!
