The World is Evolving

The world is evolving and it's a great thing to be a part of. I would say the world has had enough of the negativity, the wars, the economic throws of globalization, the corporate "who cares about you" mentality, the "take this pill" and it will all be better solution, and the medias sensationizing of everything bizarre, cruel and haneous. Just turn on the news...where's the positive stories of people assisting people, of the successes in life, of the accomplishments? Instead we get death counts, misrepresented information, crime statistics, warnings...even the weather is rarely correct. We are inundated with information from every direction: TV, radio, e-mail, RSS, newspapers, magazines, etc. You can stream it to you in millions of ways so you never have to face the silence of yourself. ever source is telling a different story with a different angle intended to attract you into the black hole of information overload. People aren't even comfortable sitting in silence anymore.

John and I were at a restaurant the other day (a daily experience for us) and there were numerous families present. The story was the same from table to table...drones disconnected from each other barely even conscious of each other's presence. The kids mesmorized by portable electronic games, parents sucked in the paper or sales circulars. I'm sure their convinced of the urgency to "know what's going on the world". How about what's going on in THEIR world?

People are sucked into the commercialization of everything. They NEED this and NEED that, racking up tons of debt, working harder, enjoying less and constantly stressed out about the inevitable dooms day of job cutbacks, layoffs or downsizing. The clock is ticking. Just drive in rush hour on any given day. You can feel the frustration, disappointment and stress. It's a killer. But don't worry, there's a pill (or 10) you can take for it. How about just eating healthy, exercising more and relaxing. Most people don't even "have time" for a vacation anymore.

I think the world is waking up. They've had enough. People are getting back to the basics of connecting. Just look at all the reality shows that have popped up. People want to connect to "real people". They want to see success...they want to see SOMEONE win, even if it isn't them personally. It gives them hope there's more out there. The world is changing. People are seeking answers to break free, to realize their potential. They've known there's more, they've dreamed of and now they are seeking it. I remember being in this grey haze, of going to work, surviving until the next day. Believing there was more and then I found it, grabbed it and ran with it.

The personal development marketplace is thriving. People are seeking to grow, to achieve, to live. The stories of constant death and destruction are making their own personal mortality even more apparent. Last year people spent more than $8.9 Billion on personal development and growth products (and that's not including the diet market). Tony Robbins' business is exploding. New personal development gurus are popping up left and right. What the Bleep? has become a household name. Bob Proctor's The Secret is taking the world by storm...he's been on Larry King, Ellen and even Oprah. People are tuning in to empower themselves, their tired of choosing to be disempowered for so long. They are turning off the TV and opening up books filled with worlds of wisdom, enlightenment and success strategies.

The more people who join this movement the more change we'll have - every person contributes the change in the energy of this planet. People are learning how to move from a lack, struggle, victim way of being to a prosperity, creative, empowered way of being. It's a natural happiness that is passing on to children. The school systems have been restricting kids for so long, it's time for them to empower children but we have to be the leaders first. We're on a mission. This evolution is building serious momentum and I'm excited to be a cause for the transformation of the world. Leadership is the most precious commodity. Time is the greatest gift we have. Using our time to provide people with leadership and an example of powerful living is the greatest contribution you can make in the world.

Taking Time for Me


In our society today, it is so easy to be consumed with the urgency of things. We are inundated with urgent matters - emails, phone calls, people, TV, media, etc. We live in an information society filled with distractions. We get consumed in our business, consumed by the "big of little things" and before we know it another day is gone. Recently I found myself in this position. I was very "busy" but at the end of the day, I found myself overwhelmed by what I hadn't accomplished. In looking at my day, I realized that somehow I had gotten off the path of prioritization. I was allowing little things to consume my time and had forgotten to take time for me. I was consumed by emails (emails that didn't even matter) and lots of other things that I was giving my attention but that were not moving me forward to my goals. All it was doing was leaving me overworked, overwhelmed and exhausted. Not to mention a little bit moody:)

Fortunately, once I recognized it, it was easy to "fix". In my life, the times when I am the most successful, relaxed and having fun in my life are the times when I take the most time for me. I think we get the idea in our head that if we work more and work harder, we'll get better results. We put technical things in front of the things that really matter such as personal development, meditation and visualization. We are consumed with activity and eventually after "forcing" and "pushing" are disappointed that all of our efforts haven't produce the results that we wanted. Why is that? It's because we are in a place of force instead of a place of power (Dr. Hawkins's book, Power vs. Force is a great guide to this).

We think that if we just put more in, do more activity and get consumed with busy-ness, we're going to "make it happen!". I've actually found the opposite to be true. The more time I spend on me, whether it's doing my personal development, getting a message, going for a hike, or doing some travelling, the more successful my business is and the more I'm enjoying my life. I'm in a place of Power rather than Force. I'm spending time focusing on my goals with an inherent knowing of their manifestation. When this is, I don't feel the "need" to push or force it. I'm just relaxed, confident and having fun. Not just that, but I find myself being giddy because I'm having so much fun, loving my business and loving my life. The energy of success and happiness is magnetically attractive to so many people and business explodes. I also find that I have an abundance of time during my day. It gives me tons of time to do my animal rescue work and operate my business as well as pursue other interests I have like real estate.

A few weeks ago, John and I made a decision to take an hour a day to do personal development together every day. I have to admit, I was being a slacker. I was frustrated with so many things because I wasn't putting time into me. I wasn't spending time meditating or journaling. It's funny, as much as I often think I've "arrived", I can still fall of the path so easily. I'll blame the holidays!

We're currently doing Bob Proctor's Born Rich Program everyday for an hour together. Simply taking this hour a day, in the middle of my day, has had an incredible impact. First of all - Bob Proctor is truly a master. He's one of the most powerful self-development coaches in the world. He's also responsible for creating the movie the secret (www.thesecret.tv). He's a stand for transformation in this world and I'm glad to align myself with him and his teachings. Spending an hour a day with Bob has gotten me to take a look at myself, to who I am, to who I am becoming and where I am going. I've set some incredible goals for this month and this year and I feel empowered to achieve them. I also feel relaxed and am having fun!

The key to success is simply focusing on you. The more relaxed, confident and empowered you feel, the quicker the manifestation of your goals. Spending relaxed time each day, allows me to realize my personal power and to move confidently throughout my day and week to manifest greatness. There's no stress or forcing, no breakdowns, just the confident beingness that attracts all I desire.

I invite you to take time to focus on you. You are the creative realization of your pure potential. I'd love to hear what you have created from taking this time each day, so be sure to share!
