<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://darsanaroldan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/world.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1412" title="world" src="http://darsanaroldan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/world.jpeg" alt="" width="198" height="255" /></a>Lesson 2 &#8211; You are always connected, the question is to WHAT?</strong></p>
<p>I once heard someone say that we are the average of the five people that we spend the most time with. I also remembered my mother telling me when I was a kid, “Dime con quien andas, y te dire quien tu eres”. But relax, I am just sharing these two propositions with the intention to get your attention because I believe that what I am about to share has the potential to radically change the direction of your life!</p>
<p>If you take any creek or river and block the flow of water running through it, it will only be a matter of time before it will become stagnate and eventually it will dry out. Or you could dig a trench and connect it to another source of water. Like a sewer line and although it will continue to flow, the quality of the water would be directly affected by what is connected to it.</p>
<p>Pretty much this is the same thing that I am referring to when I previously wrote, “You need to understand that we live in a world in which we are constantly bombarded by information that DOES NOT support our true potential, so it is extremely important to develop a simple approach to life that supports us being <strong><em>connected and moving in the direction we want 24/7.” </em></strong></p>
<p>This statement is not about making judgements or putting anyone down. This is about being able to do something with what you know, otherwise, what’s the point of knowing? <em>“Energy flows where attention goes.”</em> For years I have been telling people that within this simple quote, is the <strong><em>secret</em></strong> to revealing the awareness required to directly alter the quality of our lives! This simple statement alone, that easily describes the teachings of great minds, like the carpenter of Galilee, if understood correctly, can be used strategically to get rid of diseases, economic depression and many, if not all, of the issues we currently face in our society.<span id="more-1410"></span></p>
<p>But first we must recognize that there is an order to everything and that we must follow this order when attempting to get different results. The first step is to come in terms with the realization that our lives are truly a reflection of what lays within the roots of our consciousness. This is extremely important because we can pause briefly and recognize that we are not the current conditions and therefore, we must focus our attention and get emotionally connected to the real truth! In another words, the challenges or conditions in our lives are essential because they give us an opportunity to reconnect and change from the inside out! How else can we ever know what’s hidden within our subconscious mind? (As you can see this is not a bad thing and changing your perception about it, can only benefit you.)</p>
<p><strong><em>Now the BIG question is&#8230; how do we re-direct without paying attention to what is directing?</em></strong> Before I give you the answer I recommend that you give a good amount of attention to analyze this question, and I strongly suggest that you follow through with at least one action, once you finish reading this article. Reading this information at least once daily for some time, will definitely help you to reveal greater understanding of it.</p>
<p>1. You learn how to train your mind to only entertain and use the information that supports your understanding that everything is possible when the law of mind is applied correctly. Whenever you become aware that you are doing the opposite, you simply let it go and reconnect! Remember what I wrote in Lesson 1 &#8211; We are all uniquely different, so no one knows what it will take for you to develop this mental pattern, but I can tell you that it only takes 21 consecutive days for your brain to develop a new neuro pathway. So get going!</p>
<p>2. You allow and release your natural feeling of JOY to be the determining factor in all your affairs and make a commitment to only do the things that bring JOY into your life. And even when you are participating in things that don’t make you feel joy, but you obviously believe you must do them anyway, consciously chose to be joyful about the fact that you are aware of it! Eventually something will unfold and you will no longer be able to do it or the condition will naturally change!</p>
<p>3. You consciously pay attention to your relationship with the Source of Life within you and use your beliefs to direct this intelligence within you to give form to your reality. I know that’s a mouth full. Let me say it differently. Regardless of your conscious or unconscious beliefs about a power greater than yourself, it is accurate to say that we all can agree that there is an intelligence within all life, this includes you, wanting to continue to move towards more life. For example, when a person gets a cut or weeds growing in the wild &#8211; life is moving towards a certain direction, whether you and I want it to or not. Can you agree to that? Good! The difference here is that it recognizes when you are <strong><em>congruent</em></strong> and it responds toward the direction you give it, rather than letting it move in any other direction. (Be aware that sometimes it may not look like what you have in mind, but it always responds because it is impersonal; that’s the law.)</p>
<p>I know what you may be thinking&#8230; it’s the same thing people have been asking me for a long time, “If it is so simple, why are so many people suffering and struggling with their lives?” This is what I have noticed&#8230; people are constantly presented with information that is NOT accurate. This information is only the interpretations of many past generations and because people don’t use their birth right to self discover, part of their  brain (The Deletion Filters) plays tricks on them by only allowing information into their awareness that supports what they believe. Consequently they continue to give form to life with the same mold. Some people may call this denial, some others may call it convenience. I have studied this for many years and I rather called it IGNORANCIA.</p>
<p>The results are that we are surrounded by a society in which drama, disease and lack is  used to attract people who have become accustomed to fear. Some that have some knowledge, used as power to keep others under their control. Most movies, TV, music and even peoples conversations are supported by the desire to be part of the majority, even at the high price of giving away your birth rights! I normally don’t write about negativity, but sometimes we need to put things into perspective.<strong><em>The good news is that you are always connected, the question is to WHAT?</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Love and appreciaton,</em></p>

<p>Do you really understand what it means that we are all uniquely different? Have you ever considered how complex you are and to recognize your relationship with life? Do you take time daily to analyze that in one way or another <strong><em>everything</em></strong> has a direct impact on the quality of your experiences? I have been on this journey for over 22 years, and I can honestly tell you that not once have I worked with two different people that react the same way. Neither could I imagine anyone suggesting that taking a cookie cutter approach to overcome anyone’s challenges, regardless of how small you think they may be, could possibly be the best way to do it. But I can tell you one thing. The human potential is by far the most advanced and sophisticated force in the Universe and when certain things fall into place, the transformation happens quicker than what most people have been led to believe.</p>
<p>When talking with people, whether they are clients or not, I am always interested in the congruency between what they believe and how it manifests in their lives. Based on my experience people don’t often think about this correlation, unless they are confronted with some type of challenge. And even then, the deletion filters in our conscious mind play a trick on us, by leading us only to see those things that support what we want to believe as being the truth at that particular moment. It is so much easier for somebody else to see our mental patterns and habits because they are not emotionally, and in many cases, unconsciously connected to them. The question that often comes up is, “Why should I believe what somebody else is telling me, if they are doing the same thing that I am doing?” And I think this is a valid question and that’s why I recommend that everyone seriously consider who they are getting advice from. In another words, I don’t ask my plastic surgeon neighbor how to deal with my self esteem issues because I may end up with a nose job! Get my point?<span id="more-1370"></span></p>
<p>I also noticed that most people don’t grasp the depth of their existence. How things like the food they eat or how much sleep they get every night, makes a significant impact in their ability to think clearly. Quite often I have witnessed a tremendous difference in people’s lives just by tweaking their diets and/or making some changes in their schedules. Now imagine how surprised they look when I start asking questions about their surroundings. How cold is it where you live? How much sunlight are you exposed to? Or how much nature (or lack of) is around you? There is no secret as to why more people experience depression in cities like Seattle, Washington. This is all part of your uniqueness, and I am only scratching the surface of the many layers when it comes to what’s unique about you and the things that play a role in your ability to deal with life challenges and consequently, your ability to alter the quality of your day to day experiences.</p>
<p>Now lets move into what James Allen in his book, <em>‘As a Man Thinketh’</em>, refers to when he said, “All that man achieves and that he fails to achieve is the direct results of his own thoughts. His condition is his own, and not another mans. His suffering and his happiness are evolved from within. As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.” Although I wish Mr. Allen would have used female adjectives through his writing, I do admire the insights he shares. Or maybe he just recognized women as being more intelligent that men and didn’t think it all applied to them as well. LOL!</p>
<p>Anyway, second by second we are reacting or responding to our experiences in a way that either helps us build the life we desire or the nightmare we fear. I know it’s not easy, but neither is it to waste our days away. And it is not like it gets easier with time, if anything, it gets even harder. The truth is that everyone of us react uniquely different to the feelings, ideas, and the consequences of our actions. All of these things require examination before making significant progress. When dealing with clients I have to really spend time with them to get an idea of how aware they are, and most importantly, how willing they are to recognize their unique relationship with life.</p>
<p>I also know by my own experience that it is never fun to hear people say things like, “Your outer world, is a reflection of what’s going on inside you”, specially if you are dealing with some serious challenges. But you can change your perception and get excited because if it wasn’t for these life challenges, we would all be living in the dark. This is part of life and what makes us grow and evolve to the level that we are willing to take on. It’s one thing to say “I know” and quite another to do something with what you know!</p>
<p>Love and appreciation,</p>

<p><a href="http://darsanaroldan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/IMG_5821.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1363" title="IMG_5821" src="http://darsanaroldan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/IMG_5821-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Although I completely understand that we all see things differently, if I can get anyone to think a little bit more about the choices they are constantly making, then it is all worth it. The world needs more people who think for themselves. And although that’s part of the intention as to why I am writing this article, I am going to keep it simple by enjoying the opportunity and making sure that I don’t get to caught up in whether or not you like or agree with what I am saying.</p>
<p>For many years I have been paying attention to the relationship between what’s going on with me personally and the quality of my experiences. For that reason I have been able to make some gigantic changes, which includes everything I do from the moment I get up every morning. Today I can honestly say that simplicity plays a big role in my lifestyle. Plus I don’t complicate my life anymore by worrying about what others may think or say about me, or if they want to be my Facebook friend or not.</p>
<p>I also want to let you know that these insights about simplicity are not only from my own experiences, but from clients and personal relationships as well. The results are very similar. Regardless, most people say that they want certain things in their lives, but their actions and the choices they make, conscious or unconscious, are not congruent with what they are saying. For the most part, I believe that what they want is very simple, but how they go about it, complicates their lives and those around them.<span id="more-1361"></span></p>
<p>Let me just share a few examples for the benefit of clarity. People who say that they don’t like having to do anything they don’t want to do and once I start talking to them, their lives are full of commitments and routines. Or people who say that there is nothing more important to them than their children. And when I take a closer look, the amount of quality time they spend with their children daily is less than one hour, if even that. So the question is, why do they complicate their lives?</p>
<p>Although it may sound like a cliche, when I look around all I see is Life Energy expressing itself through everything. And whether or not I completely understand how it all works, it doesn’t really matter. I know that no matter what I am doing, if I am doing it with JOY, things have a way of always falling into place. I also noticed that whenever I am more loving and consciously appreciate everything in and around me, the quality of my experiences significantly improve. I focus on what brings more life to all and I only participate in things that support the beauty of all humanity, animals and nature EQUALLY. I truly believe this type of simplicity is the key to why I naturally live my life with full enthusiasm, gratitude and contentment.</p>
<p>I would like to end by sharing with you what I am now using as the most tangible way to bring simplicity into my life. “Say what you mean, and mean what you say”. And if you are thinking, “Yeah, but&#8230;”, I would like for you to then question why are you even having that thought? Think about it. For some reason you had the need to defend yourself, justify your position or make something O.K., when the truth is that you are just reading an article that grabbed your attention. Unless you think that you may have attracted this for a bigger reason. That’s for you to decide!</p>
<p>Anyway, the truth is that most people don’t pay attention to what they think or say and consequently do the things they do. And even if you bring things to their attention, it seems as though you are talking a foreign language because the choices they are making is limiting their ability to see things differently.</p>
<p>‘The Secret is Simplicity’ and Order is the First Law of the Universe. My suggestion is that before you continue with your life the way it is, that you re-evaluate your priorities and consciously decide if they are congruent with what you say is important or not! If at the end of the day you have no regrets, then you are making great progress. Just be honest with yourself, otherwise you will regret it later!</p>
<p>Love and appreciation,</p>

<p><a href="http://darsanaroldan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/IMG_0688.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1341" title=" Cat Jamaili" src="http://darsanaroldan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/IMG_0688-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>More than ever before we live in a time in which most people, in one way or another, have the technology and the ability to get their hands on some type of personal growth material and no cost. Social media and other internet sites, community gatherings, and churches, are just some of the places where people are coming together and telling each other what they think is the best way to fix whatever it is they think is going on with their lives. As usual, we all have friends or family members that are always making some type of recommendation about how they think we should handle our “issues”.<span id="more-1340"></span></p>
<p>I also noticed last year while traveling the nation that every where we visited, the challenge was not lack of knowledge, it’s more a lack of awareness. While reading books or attending seminars, can be helpful, that is only the gathering of knowledge. Knowledge is like a seed that when it’s planted in a fertile soil can do wonders, but in many cases, it can actually be part of the reason why people feel stuck or unable to overcome life situations or conditions.</p>
<p>Regardless, I think the fact that we now feel more comfortable talking about these things openly is definitely a sign of progression. On the other hand, we have to be <strong>very</strong> careful because every person is different and there are MANY things that need strong consideration when dealing with people’s lives.</p>
<p>So the question that I have been evaluating is&#8230; Why is it that although many people are familiar with some of the tools or concepts, they don’t seem to be using them to improve the quality of their lives? Why are so many people settling, giving up or becoming addicted to dysfunctional behaviors or vices?</p>
<p>Before I answer that, let me just say that after working with such a variety of clients from diverse lifestyles, I understand that for the most part we are blind to our own issues because of our own nature, and very seldom because of our own will. In other words, although we all have the greatest capacity within who we are, because of the deletion filters within our conscious mind, we literary NEED a new perspective outside of our own when intending to overcome or achieve certain things in our lives.</p>
<p>With that said, I am going to share with all of you the 3 MOST IMPORTANT ingredients you need to overcome challenges and achieve greatness in your life.</p>
<p>1. Every person is UNIQUELY DIFFERENT so a cookie cutter approach, making assumptions or suggesting about anything is just NOT right. And if you are doing it to yourself, this is just another way of self sabotaging your life.</p>
<p>2. We live in a world in which we are constantly bombarded by information that DOES NOT support our true potential, so we MUST find a new fun and simple approach to life that supports us being connected and moving in the direction we want 24/7.</p>
<p>3. Most people have a lifestyle, driven by old beliefs and fears, that is draining all the energy required to overcome these challenges from the inside out. So in order to step into your greatness, developing a <strong><em>congruency plan</em></strong>, primarily driven by your intuitive desire to enjoy life, will give you a tangible method to follow through with actions that support the direction you want to go, while generating and releasing the life energy necessary to bring clarity, determination and excitement back into your day to day experiences.</p>
<p>There is not one person in this world that does not deserve by birthright to be happy and truly enjoy life. So if by any chance you are in a place where this is not your experience, for God sake reach out and invest in yourself. Even if at this point you feel little hope or believe that things could not get better, I believe they can!</p>
<p>Love and appreciation,</p>

Despues de haber trabajado con miles de personas durante los ultimos 20 años, yo me siento completamente seguro de poder traer informacion de valor a tu vida. Por lo tanto estoy usando estos servicios con el propósito de empezar una relación mutua contigo celebrando nuestras semejanzas y respectando las diferencias.</p>
<p>El ser humano fue creado para tener éxito en todos los aspectos de su vida, indiferentemente de raza, nacionalidad, sexo, o cualquier otro tipo de diversidad. Cada persona tiene como derecho al nacer poderosas facultades mentales que les permite utilizar, en colaboración con las leyes Universales, una cantidad infinita de recursos. Segun van cambiando los tiempos es necesario aprovechar los descubrimientos en todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas y a la misma vez, cultivar las caracteristicas y valores que forman nuestra individualidad.</p>
<p>El error que yo he encontrado y ayudado a miles de personas a superar , es el mal entendimiento de que para poder seguir identificarnos con nuestras familias o culturas, es necesario no aceptar conocimientos y factores esenciales para el desarrollo de nuestra alma y la mejora de nuestras vidas. Lo mas impactante para cualquier persona, indiferente de su origen, edad, sexo o cualquier otra forma de diversidad, es sobrepasar las limitaciones de la ignorancia. Mientras mas aprendemos y ponemos en practica estos conocimientos que fortalezcan el desarrollo espiritual, mayor sera la calidad de vida que experimentamos y el impacto positivo que tenemos en nuestra persona, familia y cultura.<span id="more-102"></span></p>
<p>Por eso te invito a que recibas toda la información posible para que consigas exito en todos los aspectos de tu vida y de esa forma puedas tener un impacto mas grande en la evolucion del ser humano. Los cambios son necesarios, pero tu no dejas de ser quien Tu Eres!</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1084" title="Blog's Picture" src="http://darsanaroldan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Blogs-Picture-300x47.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="47" /><br />
One of my favorite quotes and the inspiration for this blog is by Buddha&#8230; “There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.” After spending the last two years with my precious family deeply immersed in reevaluating, reminding and reconnecting myself with Life Itself, I am walking away with what I believe is my greatest contribution to Consciousness&#8230; a disciplined mind. If you want to help the world, you must help yourself first!</p>
<p>At times this journey became so fulfilling that I contemplated the idea of moving  with my family to Costa Rica and spend the rest of my life meditating and being as close as possible to nature. On the other hand while writing this blog I debated if I should share with you that at times it also felt like I was dying. I decided that the only thing I have to share is that in order to have an extraordinary life, you must dissolve the illusion of fear.<span id="more-1082"></span></p>
<p>So if you are wondering why I am writing about this journey, if I don’t want to share all the details? It is because it is NOT important. Drama is humanities’ biggest challenge and in order to dissolve it, we must realize that it is nothing wanting to be something. In order to lift humanity, animals and the planet to its original pattern, we must abandon talking about the drama, contemplating it and believing that it is through contrast that we regain our appreciation for the gift of Life.</p>
<p>As Wallace D. Wattles said, &#8220;The moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are, you begin to lose ground. You fix attention upon the common, the ordinary, the poor, and the squalid and mean; and your mind takes the the form of these things.&#8221;</p>
<p>What’s important to me at this moment is that I have been appointed through my work, <a href="http://www.lifestyleoftherichandconscious.com/webshow.html">&#8220;Progressing Change through Beauty, Wisdom and Success”</a> and through our Foundation <a href="http://celebrandovida.org/">Living Consciously </a>By doing so I get to continue the evolution of my individual Soul in the most harmonious path, while living an extraordinary life. When Einstein said, “What the mind can conceive, It can achieve.” It is obvious to me that he meant a disciplined mind. Happiness, Prosperity, Fulfillment, it is all possible and equally available to everyone once you discipline your mind. Although this is YOUR journey of Self Discovery, you DON&#8217;T have to do it alone!</p>
<p>Experience Your Freedom,<br />

<p><a href="http://darsanaroldan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/RV-and-Us.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1232" title="RV and Us" src="http://darsanaroldan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/RV-and-Us-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>I was awakened by my precious daughter’s voice, “Daddy, I need to go to the bathroom”. Right after I put her back to sleep and I was quietly laying down next to my beautiful wife, <a href="http://kalyaniroldan.com/about-kalyani">Kalyani</a>, my old time friend/dog decided that it was time to take care of business&#8230; if you know what I mean, LOL. While I was outside our RV waiting for him, I was wondering if this was going to be one of those nights that Spirit had something to say to me that couldn’t wait until the morning. I honestly don’t know if it is because in the middle of the night the collective consciousness is most at peace, or just because my mind is calm from sleeping, but whenever I am searching for answers or ideas, 3:00 a.m. seems to be my designated appointment with the Infinite.<br />
I knew that since I had made a gigantic request to Spirit over 3 years ago and I had consistently held on to my side of the deal, that the gestation process was coming to an end. I had convinced myself, which is all I ever need to do. The Universe never withholds anything from me and this time would not be any different. I felt congruent between my heart and the vision I had been having a love affair with.<br />
I quietly reached for my MacBook and began writing. As far as I am concerned, following through with my inspirations is the only option. When you have the awareness that I have to understand the gift of life, dwelling is something you don’t give any possibility to. Otherwise what’s the point of setting intentions if when it’s time to take action, you are not willing to take risks.<span id="more-1231"></span><br />
Some people may say that God was talking to me. Others will say that the law of Mind in Action was responding to the impressions of my thoughts, feeling and actions. I say, who cares! Life is too precious to wait another day trying to figure the whole thing out.  I have been there and done that before. Your ego feels threatened by your intuition and selects the information that will invalidate what you know. Blah, Blah, Blah!<br />
I say, “Don’t Wait Another Day”! Go after every one of your dreams today! Is this crazy? I don’t think so. Crazy would be not to do so. At the end, what do you have to lose? Well&#8230; you may be unhappy, broke and sick. No thank you. I rather discover what’s ahead in my journey, even if it means getting out of my comfort zone!<br />
So if you are wondering what I decided to do? After talking to my <a href="http://celebrandovida.org/theradicalroldans">precious family</a> we have decided through our <a href="http://celebrandovida.org/">Foundation</a> to travel the nation for a whole year inspiring, empowering and educating families of all socio-economic status to up level the quality of their lives, so together we can make a difference in the world for all Creation. That’s right! But this is not about me, this is about you. We all have to have faith and know that our individual souls are leading us to stay connected with our heart’s desires. It actually knows what we need better than we do because we are conditioned to pay attention to things of lower values.<br />
We all have gifts and talents that are waiting to come out because the world needs what we have inside! I am just very fortunate to have the consciousness to understand things that others can&#8217;t YET. Pay attention to the signs, they are everywhere!<br />
Love and appreciation,<br />
Darsana</p>

<h1 style="font-size: 2em;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><strong> Is It Choice or Is It Destiny?</strong></span></h1>
<p>I remember over 21 years ago driving to work in the morning and right before I lit up a marijuana joint I thought, “There is something wrong with this and at one point I am going to have to face it.” I also remember another time having an affair and as I was leaving her apartment I felt shameful and I knew at that moment that somehow I would have to pay the price for my actions. More recent I remember having to say good night to my children on the phone and I knew at that point that no amount of money was worth missing out on the things I value most in life. The truth is that since I have learned to love and forgive myself, I can probably go on forever, remembering time after time, stories of how at one point in my life I had enough clarity to recognize that I was drifting away from the path, but not necessarily doing anything about it at that particular moment!<span id="more-995"></span></p>
<p>But the question is&#8230; Was I really choosing to drift away from the path, or was it ALL part of a bigger plan that would eventually lead me to my destiny? Even up to this point, I honestly don’t have the answer to that question. I could tell you that many times while reflecting in silence it is evident to me that everything I have ever gone through has been preparing me for the role that I am now playing. Not only that, it is because of all these experiences that I have become the most magnificent version of me today. I think it is relevant to mention that I have grown the most during the hardest times of the journey, so there must be a reason for the challenges we encounter along the way!</p>
<p>I know that if I google this question, (Is It Choice or Is It Destiny?), I would probably get many answers. But the question is&#8230; Do I want someone else’s answers and beliefs or do I want my own? Through my meditation practice I am understanding that our human experience can lead us to believe in many illusions, but Spiritually we always remain as perfect as the Laws of Nature and as Beautiful as the blooming of roses during Spring! This is crucial to me because it means that at any point no matter how far I may drift, I can reconnect with my True Self and find the most harmonious and fulfilling way to the evolution of my individual Soul.</p>
<p>As a Transformational Life Coach I often talk to and witness many people who are struggling with situations, circumstances and conditions that are robbing them from the opportunity to experience how magnificent God’s Creation truly is, them included, but unfortunately do nothing about it.  Although I have been blessed to see and hear about  others who have transformed their lives, I often wonder if there is any way we could change the statistics and significantly increase the amount of people changing their lives and consequently changing the world! Or Maybe I just need to continue expanding my awareness and TRUST that Infinite Intelligence has a Divine Purpose for everything!</p>
<p>After searching for so long for things outside of myself to make me happy and fulfilled, I have found that Infinite Source is really within ME and YOU and there is a part of me that wants everybody else to experience how awesome it is living life this way. Perhaps is because now that I have overcome these obstacles I find myself completely in LOVE with the Divine Presence flowing through everything and everyone.  Or maybe it’s just that since I have dissolved the illusion of separation I know that I am ONE with all the Love, Joy, Beauty, Abundance and Harmony in the Universe and therefore I can’t help but to want to release this energy as the most important piece as to why my life ROCKS! So, what about your life&#8230; can you choose your destiny? Let me know! I love to learn from you&#8230;</p>
<p>Love and appreciation,<br />

<h1 style="font-size: 2em;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><strong> Shift Happens!</strong></span></h1>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica;">Have you ever read or heard about synchronicity? Have you ever stopped to think what are the possibilities for things to unfold the way they do every day? All the unlimited things that could have completely changed the outcome of any particular situation in your life? No, I am not tripping, it is exactly the opposite! Over 20 years ago I made a conscious decision to stay away completely from drugs and alcohol to discover myself and how life would be without them. Because of that one decision, my life has continued to CHANGE in ways that I would have never even begun to imagine. Every day is full of infinite possibilities because I have grown from within, enough to understand that the outside world is only a reflection of what is going on inside of me! That as long as I continue to have passion, determination and appreciation for the present moment, not one thing has to change in the world for me to be happy and celebrate the things I value most!<span id="more-981"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">If you are not becoming more interested in what you are reading by now, I suggest you  tie your Self down to the chair and continue reading because this is not about me, this is about YOU. You see, there is no accident to why you have attracted what you are reading and either you can make the decision to take this information to heart and shift the way your life is going, or you can continue doing the same things you have been doing and continue looking for answers in the wrong places. In all honesty, that is actually the way we are programmed to survive by our ancestors, and it’s probably not such a bad idea when you were learning how to walk and talk, but I believe you are ready now to make a conscious choice to unleash the unlimited potential within your True Self, while learning how to gratefully appreciate all the blessings in your life!</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Let me just quickly highlight that when we don’t listen to the subtle signs going on in our life, consequently we bring the crazy DRAMA right into it. From there, it can get worst or better, depending on wether or not you choose to be a victim, or reach out and learn that taking risks is what allows us to CHANGE and GROW! After making so many mistakes and making life incredibly hard and painful, I am now experiencing a more loving, prosperous and rewarding way of experiencing life, one day at a time. My heart desire to live a meaningful and purposeful life is what motivated me to create this blog and to activate the power of collaboration to change the World!</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When you begin to live life this way, you begin to understand and develop higher levels of awareness that allow you to experience a new reality. All of the sudden life has new meaning and your beliefs, along with your mindset, shift and you are guided to serve others. Prosperity consciousness reveals itself through your passion and purpose and now success is no longer a goal, it is within your Self and it becomes a lifestyle. What others think of you have very little impact on who you are and you express yourself more freely because you are not attached to the outcome.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Remember, it all begins with the conscious choices you make and in order to do that you have to learn how to go within. Part of my life purpose is to inspire, empower and intensify your ability to discover the changes you want to make for the evolution of your individual Soul and for the contribution you add to the shift in Consciousness going on in the world. Together (<a href="http://www.joinPEACEtribe.org"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">joinPEACEtribe</span></a>) we can Be The Change We Wish To See In The World and shape the vision for younger generations to follow. I believe that One Love, One Wealth and One World is the way things were meant to be and I will do everything I can until the day I die to Be loving, Be Giving and Be Willing to equally celebrate humanity, the animals and the planet!</span></p>

<h1 style="font-size: 2em;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><strong> You Have A Choice!</strong></span></h1>
<p>Good for you! You just made a choice to open your self to learning something new or be reminded of something you already know. Regardless, the point is that you are making choices all the time. Now imagine being able to make the right choices most of those times&#8230;  Although wrong choices are here just to let you know that you are going away from your path, they are not FUN! Wouldn&#8217;t you agree? I personally feel that I have made too many of those choices in this life, and I am done with them. I no longer believe in contrast, I am into consistency these days!</p>
<p>My guess is that you are probably thinking that you already know you have a choice, so what is my point. First lets bring some understanding into this dynamic exchange of energy that we are having. Knowing something doesn&#8217;t mean that you understand it and it definitely doesn&#8217;t mean you can use it to get the results you want. If you don&#8217;t believe me, just pay a great deal of attention to how many times people say, &#8220;I know that&#8221;, or &#8216;I heard that before&#8221;, but in the next breath or action they show you that they don&#8217;t know it, otherwise they would be making a different choice. So knowing is being able to apply it into your life and get the results you want!<span id="more-928"></span></p>
<p>Now, back to knowing that you have choices. Let me give you an example, that sometimes works better for me. Imagine that you sitting next to the Dali Lama in a very loud concert. He has some amazing things to say, but you cannot hear what he is saying. That is pretty much what happens when your inner voice, full of wisdom and intuition, is waiting for you to be silent, but since you are making a choice to continue to think and think, you missed your one to one appointment with the Infinite within YOU. But I am going to make the assumption that if you are reading my blog it is because you have a higher level of awareness than most people and you make the conscious choice to quiet your mind every day like I do.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s continue with the same example since the first time it worked so good or at least it did for me, LOL. The music at the concert stopped for the intermission and you got to listen to the Dali Lama for a little while, and of course he gave you some powerful insights. But once the music started you began to listen to it, perhaps you justified having a beer or a glass of wine. Wait, what I am saying? You are reading my blog, so you would NEVER put mind altering drugs into your body temple. I am so sorry, I thought I was writing to another group of brothers and sisters. My apology. Where were we? I know, after listening to the Dali Lama, you started listening to the music and thinking about past memories or perhaps you slipped into an old mind habit of predicting the future, and all of a sudden, what seemed so powerfully insightful, escaped your mind. Oops! The point is that we have to make conscious choices to stop the noise from the outside world, but we also have to develop a discipline to stay connected and take immediate actions, otherwise, well, you know what happens.</p>
<p>Let me finish by adding this final point. The human mind is just a tool by which we co-create our reality. Quickly I want to underline OUR REALITY, because in that statement lies one of the most transcending understanding of human kind. We are co-creators in the Creative Process of Consciousnes and therefore that is why we can CHANGE our reality and the world by making Conscious Choices together. I know that was a mouth full; just take a few minutes and reflect on what that means to your life right now. What can you take responsibility for and make a conscious choice to change right now in your life because you have the power to do it ? Good, I am happy for you!</p>
<p>This is the key, it becomes a conscious choice when we have the ability to MASTER the mental faculties within our unlimited powers. So whatever it takes in your individual case, is what it takes, but you MUST do it! My advice is that you don&#8217;t compare yourself with anybody else. Most of the beliefs that are co-creating your reality come from your unconscious mind and only you can change them. We are ALL different in our humanity and for that reason, your journey has different choices than anybody else. The gift is that inherent within your human potential is the Power to CHOOSE and CHANGE!  If you don&#8217;t, you are still making a choice, but it is probably not the one you want!</p>
<p>Lets stay connected and support each other in making the choices that co-create the reality for One Love, One Wealth, One World!</p>
