<p>Hi, my name is Darsana Roldan and welcome to my website. I have an extraordinary life and if I die today, I will be completely satisfied with the choices I have made. I can honestly look myself and my family straight in the eyes and say, “I consistently walk my talk and therefore I have no regrets.” My question to you is&#8230; can you say the same? Think about it for a minute.</p>
<p>But the truth is that it wasn&#8217;t always like that. I spent the first 27 years of my life trying to get ahead, but always feeling like I was behind. Going through the journey of overcoming alcoholism and drug addiction over 22 years ago changed my interpretation of what adversities represent and pushed me into Recycling My Human Potential. Through that initial journey, I realized that challenges and adversities are just opportunities for greater growth!</p>
<p>I believe that no matter how much money you have, how healthy you are, or how evolved you perceive yourself to be, life continues to bring along many challenges. This is no big deal once you <strong><em>understand the purpose behind it</em></strong>! Why? Because although this is where MOST people struggle and feel stuck, at the same time this is where the answer to their problems exists. How important is this? Extremely important, because it means that with the appropriate guidance, most people can transform their lives in a very short amount of time! You see, ‘True Success’ is a lifestyle and once you learn how to Recycle Your Human Potential, everything has value in it, especially the things that you don’t like.</p>
<p>Whether you are dealing with challenges or having trouble achieving your goals, you can overcome these issues! Is this journey easy? Honestly, it’s different for everyone, but you don&#8217;t have to do it alone. After working with thousands of clients throughout my career, counseling, seminars, public speaking, radio, and many other avenues, I have gained many powerful insights. If I had to choose one to share with you at this point is that,  &#8221;It&#8217;s not what you know, is what you do with what you know that makes a difference&#8221;.</p>
<p>But the answer is NOT to try harder. The truth is that we are all very smart and capable. So WHY is it that some of us are able to live a life of <strong>congruency</strong>. Nine out of ten people I talk too tell me that they know what&#8217;s important for them, but the choices they make moment by moment, conscious or unconscious, do NOT reflect the same thing.</p>
<p>The biggest problem I see when working with clients is that although MOST of them truly have the desire to live a certain type of life, they have very little awareness on how to do it. On top of that, MOST people believe that although human behavior is probably the most complex phenomena ever, that somehow we are supposed to figure it all out without any help. How crazy is that? For anything else is completely acceptable to hire a particular individual or organization, but when it comes to overcoming life challenges and achieving our personal goals, the taboos are endless!</p>
<p>Life Itself is our MOST precious gift EVER! Everything that you have ever experienced and will ever experience is because you are ALIVE! And the truth is that all of us only have a certain amount of time to make the best of it. So you would think that most people would be having a blast everyday and only doing things that support them being happy, healthy and enjoying an abundant life; but they are not!  I have been doing this for a long time and I know that  in order for me to really help you, we have to take a <strong>close look at your whole entire life and you have to learn how to live consciously all over again.</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Think about it! 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 can honestly tell you that not once have I worked with two different people that react the same way to anything.</p>
<p>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. My suggestion is that you call me and set up a confidential consultation <strong>immediately</strong>, before the deletion filters in your mind talk you out of it. I can guarantee you that once we get to talk, you will know my teaching comes from the way I live my life!</p>

<h1 style="font-size: 2em;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><strong> Latino, You Are Who You Are!</strong></span></h1>
<p>I am convinced that even if I spend another 47 years expanding my awareness starting from where I am now, I would only be scratching the surface of my inherent unlimited potential. I am also quite aware that the world around me hasn’t changed, but it is my inner transformation that has allowed me to create my own reality and see the physical world completely different than what it used to be. Have you ever wondered why me? For years I felt like I was so different than members of my own family, friends and other people that were Latinos like me. I was trapped in the middle of my own inner war because a part of me felt proud for growing up with certain values and interests and another part of me didn’t agree at all with some of the beliefs and misconceptions around me. Among other things, there were too many unanswered questions regarding religion and no one dared to step out of the imaginary boxes within the human mind.<span id="more-629"></span></p>
<p>I can’t even begin to explain the invigorating joy that flows through me in every moment because I no longer choose to let ignorance and illusions give form to my reality. By mastering the mental faculties available to me, I have created an awesome life in which the next moment is always pregnant with even greater experiences.</p>
<p>But it was not always like this. For many years I was suffering from self imposed fears and insecurities about who I was and where do I fit. You see at the age of 2 my parents decided to move back to their home, Puerto Rico, and I spent the next 16 years absorbing the energy that became the foundation of my reality. Right after my sophmore year my parents moved to California and I spent my senior year in high school not only struggling with learning a new language and culture, but also fighting the desire to grow and embrace the world I was exposed to, yet debating if by doing so I would loose who I thought I was. For the next 10 years I struggled even more with this dilemma and I used things like alcohol, drugs and sex as a way to hide and survive. I was fighting unseen demons, but they seemed so real to me then.</p>
<p>Like all of us I have a story, and perhaps in the book that I am writing (Latino You Are Who You Are) I will get into more details, but for now I want to speak to the 38.8 million Latinos in the USA  that could use my experiences as a spring board for the next step they are about to take. No matter what you think, feel, or do with your life, you will ALWAYS be who you are. So if you are Latino, be grateful for what it offers you, but don’t be afraid to change and become a greater expression of God just because unconsciously you don’t want to betray your roots. As a matter of fact, you would benefit tremendously from evaluating the impact that your up-bringing is having on every decision you make. Like my mother would say, “No votes el muchacho con la placenta.” Celebrate the gifts and  blessings and let go of the misconceptions and limitations.</p>
<p>Beliefs around religion, alcohol, addictions, male privilege, nutrition, parenting, competition, work, digression of women by sexualizing them, acts of violence against humanity and animals, just to name a few of the unconscious behavioral patterns that were blocking the flow of God Consciousness flowing through me in all my affairs and consequently were robbing me of my own true happiness. I am not more or less Latino than anybody else just because for the last 20 years I have become a different version of me. You see it doesn’t matter how much money you make, your reputation, (el que diran la gente), how popular you think you are, or anything else. How successfully happy you are is a direct result of the awareness, understanding and application around the  realization that You are Who You are because you were created in God’s image.</p>
