<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 />

<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>
