March to the beat of your own drum.....

If you compromise your desires, you will compromise your strength. – Tama Kieves

That is a powerful statement. A statement that spoke to me in a very deep and profound way. All too often we listen to the people closest to us, parents, teachers, friends and loved ones,  to take the safe path in life. To always “do the right thing”; take the rational, safe, predicable, and practical path.

Being rational, safe, predicable, and practical is not always the true reality of you and your soul’s desire; it can actually hold you back from doing what you are put on this earth  to do. There are times when rational, safe, predicable, and practical can smother your dreams to death.

Did Steve Job, Bill Gates, or Mark Zuckerberg take the rational, safe, predicable, and practical path? No, they marched to the beat of their own drums and followed their desires without looking back. They believed deep within themselves what they were doing was the work they were meant to do.

Sometimes it’s thought, ‘I don’t have an office, I don’t have the right credentials on my resume`’ Maybe you aren’t sure what exactly you are meant to do in life, but you know for certain what you are doing now isn’t’ it. Waiting to achieve the ‘office and or credentials’ or waiting to the perfect time to get started. News Flash- it is never a perfect time. Procrastination is just another form of fear and excuses. You feel that restlessness, almost like a gravitational pull away from what you are currently doing. As long as you continue to wait for the perfect time and procrastinate, you will continue to feel this restlessness. I believe this restlessness is your soul speaking to you, whispering and beckoning you to wake up.

Believe it, feel it and it will manifest into reality.

 

Now- pass me the Bongos... I have some marching to do.

 

Live consciously and get the hell out of your own way….

Words are very powerful. We constantly say things like:

I do not know….

I don’t have the money….

I don’t have the time….

I want to do ____, but I don’t know how…

It’s time to change the way you speak. Be very conscience of your words.

If you speak the word ‘want’, you are coming from a state of lacking.

Everything you have ever wanted and desired already exists. You just have to believe it and align your mind, your heart, and your actions so you can manifest it into reality.

Start by replacing “I want”- with “I will” for example:

I will write a book…

I will travel to Mexico...

I will help people…

I will go back to school…

I want vs. I will paradigm is VERY powerful.  

Change ‘I don’t know” into things like:

I am available to receive guidance.

I am figuring it out….

Another powerful tool to help manifest what already exists for you, is to take action. Nothing comes out of thin air.

Book and event or a trip that you have been “wanting to do” and turn it into something you “will do.” Even if you don’t have the money or the time now. Once it has booked you will be surprised how easily you come up with the money and the time. Think about it- we can always come up with a hundred different ways why right now is not the right time. It is NEVER the right time.

Once you change, “want” into “will” and you take the action; keep moving forward. Make sure you see it through and finish. It is easy to start telling yourself reasons why you should quit, like:

It is too expensive…

It is too hard…

 

Align your thoughts, feelings, actions, and consciences and you will see the magic.

Live consciously and get the hell out of your own way….

Ain't NOBODY got time for that shit....

You have heard the term "Frenemy"- Someone who you think is your friend & confidant, however in reality is more an enemy. Personally- the word enemy is a bit harsh. I like to think of it as an insecure, jealous, envious, judgmental, hypocritical, & miserable person.

I have in resent past encountered person(s) like mentioned above myself. Someone, who I thought of highly as a friend, turned out to me nothing more than a schoolyard bully in an adult body.

A person that was emotionally stunted and for whatever reason was never able to mature and evolve into a fully rounded, open-minded adult. A person who, surrounds themselves with likeminded adult bullies and “frenemies” to make themselves feel superior.

When sadly, in reality, these likeminded people are just waiting on the chance excrete their own version of insecurity, jealously, enviousness, judgment, hypocrisy and misery on their ‘friend’.

 

It is a vicious cycle, and…

 

Ain’t NOBODY got time for that shit…
