How to start changing your life today!

There are three things you can do today that will begin to change your life immediately even if it takes some time for you to see the change manifest!

First... Take a look at right here, right now! You have "made it" to today! Regardless of how bad today is or how much you want it to change right now the fact is you have made it through every single problem you have had in the past! This gives a unique view of what is possible in your future!

Secondly, change is constant! This is a fact and not a theory! So, since this awesome news is real, use your mind to think about what you want that change to be and then speak it forth! Call it forth in faith and it shall come to you! Making a choice to "be the change you seek to experience" seems hard but in reality it is very, very easy... Simply think about the changes you want to take place in your life! Share your thoughts with those who will support you and if you have no people like that create a journal and write about the changes you seek to experience. You can also create a vision board online like this one!

Thirdly trust in yourself, your version of GOD and in the magic that exists all around us just waiting for us to discover it! Inside you believe in all sorts of possibilities and you have an unending hope in your being that tells you, if you listen, that your hope is the key to unlock the door of endless possibilities! If you pray... Trust in prayer! If you meditate... Trust in meditation! If you believe in hard work... Trust in your ability to work hard and see real results! If you believe in miracles... Trust that you can experience a miracle manifesting in your life!

Smile often and know that you have far more control over your reality than what you may believe! Please read my "Archives" as I am confident they will inspire you and pray for my success as I pray for the success of every reader of this blog! I am so thankful for your visit and come back soon!

Never, ever, ever give up on your dreams! This is why...

It is said...

Wise men and women from the beginning of recorded history have all said the same thing... "Be ever diligent" and refuse to take or accept no as the answer and you will achieve great things! For me personally the combination of two things (as I have stated before) 1. making a clear choice on what it is I choose to have, experience or possess and 2. calling it forth (I use prayer for this) until it manifests have always resulted in me getting those things! As I have evolved as a man, now at the age of 43, it has taken me "TIME" to gain confidence in this technique and to believe that there are no limitations to what I can accomplish. I truly believe that if you have doubt in your heart that alone is the greatest killer of your dreams!

"YOU" yes you, are your best advocate! You are and have always been your best resource! Help from "out there" rarely comes and when it does it is never really as good as you would want it to be right? You and you alone have the ability to make your life into whatever you choose it to be! Pick a technique or strategy or even better create one and then stand by it day and night until it works for you! For me, as I have said here in the blog many times, I use "Prayer" to manifest into my reality what I desire by "TELLING GOD AND THE UNIVERSE WHAT I CHOOSE TO HAVE AND EXPERIENCE" as I believe it to be my birth right to experience anything I want!

I believe that the "spoken word" was used by GOD to create the Universe and all that is in it! I also believe that the Universe is charged with manifesting whatever we desire as it was created by GOD for that purpose! Because of this I "PRAY" throughout the day and night to call forth into my reality what I choose and desire for myself! I do not "ask" GOD for things, except to expedite what I am calling forth, LOL, I simply make it "known" what I seek for myself in this life. When I am diligent and do not change my mind I have always created out of thin air what I desire. Some things are instant, some things take hours, days, weeks, months or years but it is my diligence that ensures what I choose will manifest!

While this will go against most religious beliefs and dogmas I believe GOD's answer is always "YES!" to whatever we desire! Logically how could it be anything else yet most people do not believe this for two primary reasons; 1. they believe that this awesome promise is too good to be true and 2. they believe that GOD spends his time saying yes to some things, no to others and maybe but not now to others and that for me is insane! In Conversations with GOD by Neale Donald Walsch GOD tells Neale this very thing! Having been created in GOD's likeness and image we can have whatever we set our minds to and this promise, even GOD realizes, is too good to be true for most people to believe!

It is free to pray and prayer is the most easy task anyone can do regularly! So why not use it... There is great power in prayer but instead of asking for this or that, try praying for this or that to manifest because you choose it to as asking for it only pushes it away from us! So here is the challenge... Make a list of what you desire and then pray it forth until it manifests then repeat for the new things you desire and repeat again... This is your greatest gift you know, the power to create out of thin air whatever you choose simply by making the choice and standing by it until it manifests!

Believe in Yourself!

All things are possible however there is one simple rule... It is the "Golden Rule" and it is very true!

The Golden Rule... Those with the GOLD... RULE!

The first step to your own personal success is "believing in yourself" and this is also one of the most challenging tasks you will ever take on! The world is full of negativity and if you let it, it will take you over and consume you! The fact is all things are possible and if you let go of fear you see there is nothing to lose and everything to gain! Thoughts create things and you bring about what you think about! YouTube is full of positive videos, speakers like Les Brown and many others where you can get a "shot of positive energy" however the road to success is under your control!

Your road to success requires you to make decisions and sometimes the decision is as easy to make as a right or left turn! Other times you find yourself in a jungle and you have to create your own road.... At times you walk the roads of others for a while until you are unsatisfied enough to look for a new road or build a new road! The key is to always do something! Never give up on yourself or your dreams!

In life many things seem "impossible" however all of those "things" are telling you something... They are telling your heart "I'm" "Possible" if you just listen! DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT... Ask yourself three simple questions; 1. Are there healthy, wealthy and happy people living today? The answer is yes and you are just as deserving to be one as they are! 2. Are there countless stories from very real people who simply refused no as the answer and as a result either found or created the life they desired? The answer is yes and you can be one of those people too! 3. Why does your inner voice otherwise known as your heart keep telling you that life is magical and you can have what you desire? The answer is because your inner voice (i.e. your heart) knows its connection to everything and does not believe in the impossible!

The decision is yours, you can accept life as it is right now or you can choose to "Make it Happen" and do everything in your power to do so! Personally I have been on a mission for some time to create "out of thin air" what I choose for myself! I refuse to take no for an answer and when I find myself in a place where it seems I cannot do anything I can always pray and keep a positive attitude! These two things alone have manifested my desires many times! Read my blog posts and the archives to see what I have shared on this vision board online! May you reach your goals with GOD's speed!

Do whatever you can to make your dreams come true!

Dreams... We all have them and I am referring to the ones where we "think" about what we want our lives to be like! Here's some good news... Everyone, or almost everyone, LOL, who has a life that you aspire to, when asked how they reached it, will, if they are honest, tell you that it was "MAGIC" and that they are so amazed at how things seem to work out when they choose to refuse to take no as the answer!

We each of us hold in our hands (literally and figuratively) the very real power to create out of thin air whatever we desire but most of us never put this promise into practice enough to see it as a real gift from the most amazing Creator who I refer to as GOD! This gift was given to us originally so that we can have, do or experience whatever we desire! Yes, we all gravitate towards this good news and yes we all want it to be true but most of us rarely give it a go to see if it is really true for us as individuals!

This gift (i.e. the ability to create out of thin air whatever we desire) is so awesome that it costs us nothing to "give it a try" and we stand to gain everything when we see that this promise is indeed true! How spectacular is that?

Stress and worry kills your positive energy and puts a blog on the manifestation of your dreams so let your cares be light as a feather and put your faith into the magic that created all that is because that magic is real and all you have to do in order to see it is take a look around!

Real talk... When prayer fails you!

It is said by some...

This badge reflects a "fact" that is both true and false for me personally! It does seem, when I really, really, really need my prayers to result in me getting what I want or need (funny how wants come first, LOL) that prayer fails me the largest majority of the time! Looking at this logically I have to ponder why bother with prayer at all and for me it has become a habitual action that, like a drug addiction, I cannot quit even if I want to! In previous blog posts on this My Vision Board Online I reference never giving up and staying focused! This can be very difficult to do when you pray so hard and for so long only to see no results!

Every time I think about "giving up" on prayer I have a flash of the image above and the fear of being so close to what I want and need manifesting I always choose to stay the course! For me prayer works under a unique condition that I cannot always create or maintain! The condition is "MAKING A CLEAR CHOICE OF WHAT I WANT OR NEED AND NEVER ACCEPTING NO AS THE ANSWER, SO MUCH SO THAT I PRAY DAY AND NIGHT UNTIL IT MANIFESTS" as this is harder than it may seem! When I have done this though amazing things have happened! As I work to change my life I know that I must stay the course!

In the mid to late 1990's I prayed and asked GOD to send me a book that would give me a better understanding of who he was. Amazingly GOD led me to a book by Neale Donald Walsch titled - Conversations with GOD - and I love books 1 thru 3! In these books GOD gives real answers to many questions most people have and suggests that we "keep choosing the same thing over and over until our will becomes manifested" and to "stay focused and centered" so these words stick with me and keep me going! Really, emotions aside, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain by praying diliently for what we desire until it manifests!

Going through bad things or having to wait may just be a blessing!

It is not my intention to "sugar coat" bad things happening or how much it sucks to have to wait for the things we truly desire as my only goal here on this blog is to share my own personal story as it evolves... In the earlier posts I outlined my desires or at least some of the major ones and I continue to pray daily (because I use prayer as my method of creation) for the manifestation of my choices into my reality. Today I want to shed some light on how I feel about bad things happening and having to wait!

AWARENESS... What does that mean to you? For me this question has evolved as the meaning seems to be getting more and more interesting the older I get! In this fast paced world we live in it can often be a challenge just to slow down and take 5 minutes to yourself much less spend any considerable amount of time in meditation or prayer! When bad things happen and/or we find ourselves waiting for what we choose "MOST OF US MAKE TIME TO INVEST INTO MEDIATION OR PRAYER" because our needs and wants outweigh the busy life that would otherwise consume us! When we experience a slow down in our lives because of bad things happening that make us reflect or seek new answers we are "open" for wisdom to make us more aware!

Additionally when we are in a state of waiting we usually spend more time in meditation or prayer and as a result are working to connect to the higher knowledge that we know in our hearts is there somewhere! This too opens us up to new awareness!

Those with a positive outlook on life often say that "EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING" and there is great wisdom in that thought process! Logically we cannot know or experience good without knowing and experiencing bad and likewise we cannot know hot without cold, up without down, light without heavy and so on... For me personally the bad things, looking back, were not really that bad and most increased my awareness and wisdom. Also when I find myself in a holding pattern waiting for what I want I am more focused and diligent towards getting it and as a result more open to new awareness and wisdom! This proves for me personally that every cloud does have a silver lining and that we have a choice on how we judge our own life experiences! Because of this I truly believe that there are blessings hidden in every single situation just waiting to be uncovered and acknowledged!

The physical realm verse the spiritual realm!

Today I realized, once again, that for me personally my power to create is based more in the spiritual realm than the physical realm so I want to share this thought process as it pertains to my ability to turn my vision board into physical reality. We all have experienced ourselves as "creators" on some level and for some of us we have seen first hand our ability to call forth and/or create out of thin air what others would deem to be miracles! Each soul, I believe, is here to experience itself as an individual aspect of divinity. The question we all must ask is "Are we better equipped to create from the physical realm or the spiritual realm?" as this may be one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves. The answer may lead to both a better sense of freedom and more confidence in our abilities as a creator!

I share these blog posts for two primary reasons; 1. as an action of expression from my being out into the Universe using the means of the internet and 2. in hopes that my logic, which I admit is relative to me personally, strikes a cord for others and helps them in their own journey as a creator! Today I had a discussion with two people who are both friends and clients of mine... As I was trying to convince them of the logic I was sharing, that by the way was intended for their benefit, it hit me once again like a ton of bricks that my "ACTIONS WITHIN THE PHYSICAL REALM OF CREATION WAS NOT GETTING ME ANYWHERE" because, at least in theory, I am better suited for manifesting from the spiritual realm but let me explain that...

I believe that those people we see as successful and accomplished are experiencing what we judge as success because at some level of their being they have found or created their own niche as a creator. This niche is grounded in either the physical realm or the spiritual realm. People who are successful either focus their efforts based in the physical or the spiritual and in some people we can tell which one and in others we cannot. I can only make assumptions about others so let me share my logic by using myself as an example... Taking my history into account there is no question whatsoever that I am a conscious creator and a very good one at that! Personally speaking my path has led me to creating the physical reality I desire by using the spiritual realm. In other words, those things that I have really wanted in my life and have caused to come about and manifest derived from my focus on the spiritual realm and not the physical realm.

I have rarely, if ever, created what I have truly desired through the physical realm (i.e. through hard work, who I know, academic credentials, using my own financial resources, leveraging my business acumen or portfolio of completed work, etc...) and believe me when I tell you that I have tried very hard to do so! Almost every single significant manifestation into the physical realm for me personally has started as a sincere prayer telling my GOD and the Universe what it is I seek for myself and asking for assistance in its manifestation! In fact, it is my intentional determination using the power of the spoken word through prayer that has caused the physical manifestation of every significant thing in my life!

Today this wisdom hit me once again "LIKE A TON OF BRICKS" and for many of us we have to become aware, of our own accord, of wisdom before we can apply it to our benefit! Before I chose to blog about this on My Vision Board Online I did some self-evaluation... My self-evaluation concluded that my thought process is validated, at least for me personally. I assume it may be a valid fact for others as well! If you have been able to create the things you desire in your life through your hard work, who you know, academic credentials, your own financial resources or through leveraging yourself then you may be better at creating your reality through the physical realm. If on the other hand you have used prayer, visualization, meditation, sheer determination through discussions with yourself or other like kind activities then you are like me in that you are better at creating using the spiritual realm! These ramblings are just my thoughts put forth and I thank you for your warm positive energy projected my way!
