April 1/17
The recent training of John Maxwell has truly changed my life for the better. One of his teaching techniques is the use of his powerful quotes to promote thinking and self reflection. One of these quotes has remained on my mind. This is "When is the last time you have done something for the first time."
So that relates to me as I recently started up a learning group using the tools I have learned from John. As I was completing this training I made a goal for myself to add value to each person I interact with. So with that in mind and with the use of this new materials I started something new.
As with anything new my confidence on this was low however my thoughts kept coming back to my goal of providing value. So the first session started and was completed. This session was a total of five weeks long with meeting once a week for one hour. Once the first meeting was complete I received a phone call from one of the participates. They communicated that prior to the start of this training was feeling the need for leadership training. As we talked on the phone both of us were moved to tears as the information shared in this session provided value to them. A significant statement was made by this person and that was they said I want to be the change in myself that I would like to see in others. At that moment I realized that yes I can do this and my goal of providing value to others was met to this person.
This conversation provided me the fuel to continue on forward, which I needed at the time to grow my confidence. I reflected on the high sense of gratefulness of the opportunity of what was provided to me with these teachings and to feel the multiplier effect first hand. Prior to this session of learning I had the belief I was on the right track in regards to leadership. What I took away from this session was the shift from belief to knowing.
All of us have a built in leadership ability and all you need is that spark to ignite your ability to lead. Also your ability to lead is not based on positional power or titles. So do not wait for the big promotion before you start to lead. I have met several people that feel that they are not able to lead and are waiting for the big promotion at their work place. I cannot express strong enough do not wait, if you feel the passion and want to lead then do it.
Start doing it right now. Start to practice providing value to others and lead when there are natural opportunities. These opportunities will come to you and when you recognize them follow your intuition to lead. You will not always get it perfect the first time and that is okay. Learn from your experience and move on. The worst possible thing for you to do is not to listen to that voice that is inside of you.
An example of being able to lead others is one of the people I met on my training asked me to do a check in with him a week later. I asked him three questions and he created three goals. He stated he needed to complete them as that would help him grow his business. So we both wrote down our next steps and goals. After the week passed we completed our check in and all three goals were completed by him.
This provided me the fuel that I was indeed providing value and also it reminded me the importance of aligning up to my goal. Nature has designed us to always be moving forward and in a state of constant transition. These are tools that will help us align up to the natural flow of our environment.

The 77th Chapter - Leading Others
March 26/17
I want to share about the process of going through a feeling of belief into the feeling of knowing. I have been fortunate over the last five years to lead an incredible group of people. As my leaderships skills grew over the last five years most of the choices made were ones that added value to people.
During this time I had the belief that these choices were the correct ones to add to the value of the team. However my confidence levels were not always high during that time and there were moments of doubt. As I have been given the opportunity to lead others for several years now I feel the last five years I have grown the most. It is during these last five years the speed of this growth has also increased.
The goal of providing value to people has been the biggest change over the last five years. As I started out as a young leader with a focus of providing results. However what life has taught me over last while is to switch my focus on providing value to people I lead. As I have done this one of the outcomes has been the quality of results have increased with my team. Not only the quality of results improved it continues to increase in the speed of the improvements as well.
All of this is getting done by the team and as individuals they operate as one unit. I am truly blessed to be a part of this team. I have seen the growth of this team explode and even as of late there is news that will change us forever. The team has not slowed down and keeps going forward while others around struggle.
The secret is once people have learned the basic skill of their job then as a leader you need to focus on building them. A daily focus of one positive conversation at a time with a goal to provide value to your people.
So the transition from a belief to knowing happened to me this last week. I was given the gift of completing the John Maxwell Certified Training Program. It was during this time in Orlando my belief shifting into knowing. It was at that moment the switch was engaged for me and I know I am able to move forward with skills to create my future. It is an unstoppable change and that force is in me now. Like the strong healthy oak tree in a storm as wind and darkness start to pull on its strength. It is able to withstand the force of the storm. Not only can it stand the force of the storm it also provides shelter from this storm to other living beings. This is s sign of strong leadership and when you arrive at this level it is your duty to serve others.
Since I have returned from this conference I have been exposed to a few folks that say or don't understand the value of this type of leadership. However like the oak tree in a storm this energy does not impact me nor does it slow me down. The goal has been written for the next chapter in my life and that goal of providing value to others will be relentless.
It has taken me 42 years of life experience to arrive at this point and I am so excited to see the new learning will continue in me. As you are reading this and can relate to these words, your on your track. I can assure you what your seeking and your passion will be unlocked.
A key learning moment for you to achieve this is by your choice of your circle of friends that you surround yourself with. Follow your intuition. If the people you spend a lot of time with are not adding value to your life you will need to start seeking out those who do add value. As this is a key ingredient to building your foundation of unlocking the greatness that is in you.
With kindness it is important to let people know your choices as that conversation may plant a seed in that persons growth. It might take years for that seed to grow in that person however it will. This act along will be the start of creating value with people. This multiplying effect will change lives.
So right now in this moment, get up, get a piece of paper and start writing down your goals. The most import part comes next and that is to start to achieve your newly created goals.

The 76th Chapter - Start of a New Journey
March 25/17
I am about to start something new with a goal of providing value to others and to help them learn. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. The feeling of starting something new is a measure of a growth phase starting.
With this journey there is a feeling of the unknown yet the known at the same time. When you experience this feeling this is a sign that you are on your right track. I want to share that feeling and communicate that into a teaching.
As you go through your life and you know you need to make changes, yet your not sure what those changes are. Start to explore, once your start to explore allow your intuition to lead you to your energy vibrations. These vibrations are your internal road map to unlocking your success. All you need to know is inside of you and by following these vibrations it will unlock your passion.
At first the clues will come to you slowly yet this is the critical time to start reprogramming your mind to a new mind set. As you start practicing this new quest by following your vibrations you will gather strength and you will start creating you own power. Remember it will take a while but this is normal and in the flow of nature.
Picture a magnificent bald headed eagle that flies completely effortlessly through the sky on a summer day. A beautiful creature that is in perfect vibration of the energy around them. Yet as a young bird there was a time when it could not fly and was dependent on a nest and parents. The time has come for this young bird to fly and leave the nest. At that time this bird was just a shadow of what it is now. However with new not fully developed feathers it leaves the nest for the first time and followed their path of vibrations. As it leaps into the air for the the first time and never has flown before the bird completes a first step. This first step is known to the bird and knows the time is right to fly.
This same pattern applies to you in finding your passion that is inside of you right now and you know it is there. No one has sent that bird to flight school. It was coached by it's parents and allowing their inner voice to guide them to their success. Which has lead them to this moment in time on a beautiful summer day. They are freely giving to you the enjoyment of watching a eagle sore.
True grow is allowing your passion to overflow into others yet without expectations. This is the point when you are able to start unlocking your locked doors of your internal greatness.
So do not wait to start your new journey until your ready. In truth you will never have the feeling of truly ready to start a new journey. The only way to be ready is in the act to jump out of your nest and fly.

The 75th Chapter - Providing Value to Others
March 23/17
Another mini quest has been completed and this event was attending John Maxwell Training in Florida. This learning was intense and very fulfilling. I will never forget the feeling of being in a room with over 2800 like minded people and how the energy in the room was alive. My renewed goal of daily providing value to each person I communicate with is now amplified. So if you happen to bump into me, you will be either attracted to seeing value in yourself or not.
I would like to share a story about a thought pattern and how true it is when we think we cannot do something. That mind set stops our growth and with the lack of growth the slow slide of death begins.. This growth mindset is built in us from the moment we are born and is one of the laws of nature. I have learned that when I am being stubborn to have an open mind and to be grateful for others that still keep pouring knowledge into me.
My story is on one of the recent training sessions on the power of coaching others. At the beginning of the session all the audience were asked to stand up if they did not see the value in coaching or perhaps not interested in it. I quickly stood up proudly and with confidence with the thought that I could never coach something that I was not an expert in. I believed I had to be an expert in a subject in order to coach people to increase their value on what they are wanting to become better at.
As I confidently sat down and whipped out my pen to write notes I waited to see what I could learn. That is when I noticed a set of juggling balls at the table and wondered what those could be for. Well folks unfortunately I found out right away what the balls were there for. We were to partner up with someone at the table. Once that was complete to coach each other how to juggle.
Now those of you that know me you could say I was not blessed with keen juggling skills. So I rolled my eyes, stood up and tried to juggle and my partners job was to coach me on how to juggle. Keep in mind my partner could not juggle either. Well you can imagine the task of juggling was a complete failure for both of us.
As I sat down the teaching lesson started of how to coach people even if your not a subject matter expert. I sat captivated as the teaching knowledge rolled into me like a river flowing over a desert floor. I was overcome with emotions about the positive information getting down loaded into my conscious mind. So at the end of the teaching we were all asked again to repeat the same exercise on coaching someone to juggle.
We then applied the new learning in the effective way to coach people on the task of enabling people to juggle. The secret that I learned that day is all learning and the ability to learn is within all of us. By asking questions will allow others to teach themselves and the learning cycle will be much quicker. I had also learned the value of if I do not know the answers to not provide false information to others. To be mindful if I am not competent on a skill to ensure I am not giving instructions that will only confuse others. As the first round of giving the traditional instructions on how to juggle and I had no clue on how to juggle myself which ended up in failure. I realized that was a another way of impacting people in a negative way with my words.
So on with the second round of the juggling story and we set our goal before we started the coaching session. Keep in mind neither one of us has successfully juggled ever before in our life. This time we did juggle through our own mind set and with the power of coaching. This coaching created an environment where our own thinking process taught us how to juggle. This all happened in about 15 minutes.
At the end of this session we were all asked to stand up once more and asked again do you think you still cannot coach? I sat down knowing now that I am able to coach others and to provide more value. Once again I was moved to tears to realize how much is out in the universe and the ability to grow is in all of us.
As the session was over I debriefed with my partner and both of us were moved by the power of asking questions. How by simple questions will induce a complete change of mind set so quickly. I am so grateful that the wise teachers continued to present their voice even when many were stubborn to the fact of change. They continued to provide value and did not give up.
My take away of the value of not giving up in coaching people as long as the person is still in the room. I also learned about the value of humility of thinking I knew all the answers and I was wrong. I also have a renewed focus of keeping my internal compass on course and constantly adjust as required. I want to have a mind that is open for learning and opportunities that come my way.
What choices are you going to make going forward? Are you going to remain standing after everyone has sat down and moved to a different learning lesson?
The time is now to learn in grow. If I can do it I know you can.

The 74th Chapter - Recognize Significant Growth
March 19/17
I am currently on the eve of another journey of more personal growth and I would like to share through some thoughts. As time has passed in my life one thing I would like to share today is to be able to recognize significant growth. This task in me has taken a long time to develop and my goal is to help shorten that time in you.
This ability to recognize significant moments when they happen and too feel them happening in the moment has alluded me in the past. Also by seeing that a moment is happening right now is also truly special. These are moments that you will look back knowing that was a great time in your life.
Like the patterns around us not everyday in our life can it be lived at its maxim levels of awareness. However it is key to be able to realize when great moments are happening adds to our ability to use this into our fuel. By taking advantage of this fuel it will help you learn your passion at a quicker pace. You will feel an larger amount of fuel that you can currently use so in these cases store the energy for your use when you need strength to draw on. This will help you to keep growing when times of testing come to you.
This leads me to my story today. As I am sitting down in a convention centre prior to a start of becoming a John Maxwell Team Member. It is with excitement combined with the unknown of who I will meet and what I will learn over the next days.
Already I have noticed the positive energy with the few people I have met. As I reflect I am reminded of how our energy will impact others. My thought turn to so many people coming together at the same time and place. All the individual stories and choices that have brought people to one place in time. If one could only capture all the stories from all the people over the next few days.
Yet the common theme for all the people here is to have personal growth and start of a new phase of life. Key takeaway from all of us here is what are we going to do with all this positive energy and knowledge? Each of us here has the same opportunity to nurture and grow this experience.
This is another stepping stone to unlock another level up in our quest in our life. Either way this experience for all will be a turning point and a start of a new chapter. This turning point will provide answers for people as they explore their need for growth. As this growth process that has started out with us in this life needs to remain in our life for us to grow.
When you fail and fall down get back up. Take your learning and grow your learning. Keep drawing yourself forward and make your difference your difference.

The 73rd Chapter - The Fuel of Growth
March 18/17
I would like to share about the last few weeks. During these last few weeks there has been moments and periods of time that have cause me to reflect on my current path.
Sometimes I wonder if I am achieving and growing as much as I can. So like everything in life to grow we need fuel. Plants need sun and water to grow. Cars need gas and air to propel them forward to carry you to your destination. As like us in our growth we too need a fuel mixture as well to propel us forward.
An example of that fuel came to me this morning. I am on a start of a new journey of growth for me and that start is to head to Florida to attend John Maxwell University. The goal is that at the completion of this trip is to be a John Maxwell Certified Trainer.
As I sat at the airport waiting to board the plane, I posted in my blog (Chapter 55 http://empathicdeepthinker.blogspot.ca/2017/03/the-55th-chapter.html) and for those of you familiar with that chapter you will immediately recognize the significance of the timing. The overall theme is life is amazing and there is no way one can write these types of experiences in your life other than to live them. You will experience moments like these when you are in your alignment.
As I was posting this blog I couldn't help but to call my friend and actually woke him up. I then went on to share my experience of randomness and how things work out like they do. When your living your life in your alignment how things just happen in a positive way.
All great leaders follow their path and the feeling of your intuition will lead you to become a great leader. The more you practice following your insights the easier it will become to attract others that have the need to unlock their greatness. This will be providing the correct fuel mixture you need to propel yourself forward.
A way to identity how to follow your intuition is something I would like to share. For those that have not been exposed to John Maxwell there are four different streams that you need to pick one from. As I am learning about the task of picking a learning stream and found the one for me. What I received when I found my stream was a gut feeling and goose bumps all over my body. That feeling of just knowing that this is learning stream for me.
So when you are at a crossroads of your life and a growth pattern is about to start. Use these feelings I have described above as these are your internal compass directing you to your alignment.
This alignment will lead you to your passion that leads you to your purpose. All of us have been given our greatness and it is up to you to unlock it.

A way to identity how to follow your intuition is something I would like to share. For those that have not been exposed to John Maxwell there are four different streams that you need to pick one from. As I am learning about the task of picking a learning stream and found the one for me. What I received when I found my stream was a gut feeling and goose bumps all over my body. That feeling of just knowing that this is learning stream for me.
So when you are at a crossroads of your life and a growth pattern is about to start. Use these feelings I have described above as these are your internal compass directing you to your alignment.
This alignment will lead you to your passion that leads you to your purpose. All of us have been given our greatness and it is up to you to unlock it.
The 72nd Chapter - Your Attitude and Achievement
March 12/17
I would like to share an experience that happened yesterday. This was an event were people came together and volunteered at a local school. During this time the volunteers and the students worked together to build two large play houses that will be later raffled off.
What spoke to me was the confidence and competence of these young kids as they carried out their building tasks creating this large structure. Not once did I hear this project is too big or we don't have enough time to complete this in time. Or better yet, never did I hear we will never complete this large project.
The attitude from these young adults was one of completing one task at a time. As the hours passed the walls and roof were slowly completed one step at a time. It was incredible that such young people were able to complete so many different tasks with no negative energy whatsoever. Another interesting observation was that they have not worked together before. Yet you would have never guessed that looking on as they all worked together as a team.
As I reflect on this experience, what is it in us as adults that we sometimes lose this general positive attitude towards task completion. The natural ability to work with other with such ease is in our DNA as young people. Perhaps the older we get we lose focus on our natural abilities of greatness. Perhaps with time we slowly shift our focus from our success to our failures. As that lens of our outlet changes to one of negative energy it will then impact our life each day.
Are you finding yourself in a place where it is hard to connect with others? Does your manager start providing you with soft skills tools to help you get along with others? Or have discussions with you on task completion and performance seem to be a focus? Maybe this is a good time to step hack and reflect on your current mindset.
If you realize it is one that is negative in most of your interactions. Then maybe the common theme might be you and your mindset. If you determine this is the case then look back in your life when you were nailing it. Was your focus on what you can do one step at a time vs. what you can't do one step at a time.
As your mindset shifted over time to it's current negative one. It often begins a slow descent of change in you that is not in your alignment of growth. The positive fact is now that you have realized this current state in you your mindset now can change. This will happen by one positive thought at a time that returns you back your passion zone.
You are at the start of a long journey and it will be hard to clumb up that mountain you need to climb to change your currently reality. However like any new skill with practice it will become easier for you. Start out with small exercises of positive thinking. From that start of positive thoughts learn from them and recognize when opportunities come across your way.
Also recognize when your having a bad moment or day and when that happens take a moment out to regroup. All great quests of history require moments of regrouping and prioritizing of objectives. After all this is about you and there truly is not a greater quest than the one you are doing right now.
Utilize all the patterns of success around you and replicate them. Some of the most famous songs and movies are based on a simple few notes or ideas. Yet they are highly successful so use this concept in your life and keep your focus back to the basics of what you are.
Be honest with yourself and your performance as without your honest gauge of reality you will not be able to move forward. This concept can be compared to finding your way with an old school compass. You are provided with a map to your destination however if you do not set your compass to true north you won't be able to reach your destination. You will have all the tools that everyone else has yet you will not reach your goals.
The key take away in this thought is your ability to be honest with yourself. How well you do this will enable you to set your internal compass to true north. Once you have completed this step you will experience growth which leads to your success. The time is now to reset your compass.

The 71st Chapter - Your Choices Impact Your Results
March 11/17
Thinking of great stories that live over time and how in some stories the themes are similar yet the topics are different. I recently watched a short video of a writer and they spoke of you never know where your choices will lead. Also how long it will take for an individual quest to become a major positive life change event.
Recently I have started taking another learning step in my life. One of my quests is to serve people and help people see things in a different light. In my new learning quest I will be doing some traveling to go to a university. I am feeling excitement mixed with uneasiness as this journey is new to me.
As I started this journey I reflected back to about a year ago and someone came into my life expressing they have just completed the training. As the conversation developed they commented that I might also benefit from this training they themselves has completed. So I did some research and yes agreed this is something that is in alignment with the direction I want to go. I have a passion for this type of learning.
So now on the evening before I go to be around over 2800 people from all over the world. I am grateful for a single thought of over a year ago that was shared freely to me. I am in a another growth phase and know it is one as I am feeling a slight sense of being uncomfortable. Hence a sign of individual growth when you are feeling this uneasiness.
A sign I have learned to recognize in my life that this feeling is needed to be in a growth phase. When you have these feelings it is vital to push yourself forward one step at a time. The reality is you don't know how or what to do right now. However with one step at a time as you move forward all will become clear to you.

As you move forward through the dense fog you are able to see around the corner and the visibility of knowing is given to you.
This pattern replicates in your own personal growth. It is important to want to grow and once this awareness is realized in you. The universe will provide you a path for your want of growth. It is vital when you are in this state to keep your eyes and feelings open to your opportunities. One of the most important tools is to listen to your feelings or intuition. As these act as your guide that aligns up to your passion.
This passion is what you have been created for in this life time. Through this passion will allow you to live a fulfilled and happy life. The key for this to happen in your life is keep your passion focused in your feelings and your sight. Make each thought and choice on a daily biases that aligns up to your passion.
You will be distracted in your daily life with other peoples demands however work each interaction back to your passion. This should be in your alignment of your passion or your foundation.

The 70th Chapter - Coaching Your Kids - The Skill of Transition.
March 5/17
As a single father being able to see my children grow up has been such a grateful and fulfilling experience. Watching, guiding and coaching my kids go through each major life check points. From starting school, to changing schools, to sport activities and seeing them adapt to each new check point.
I have discussed with other parents as to what to expect next and what do my kids need in their next phase of life starts for them. From all those conversations the need for kids to be able to have the skill of transition is a pattern that has reoccurred. A major one of life chapters is just starting for my oldest and just behind my youngest is starting that journey.
That major life change is starting a career and starting the transition of moving on their own. Years ago this event seemed so far away, yet now it is here and happening right now. It is with happiness and some sadness, as I realize this major life change even will change our dynamics forever.
We have called ourselves the three musketeers for the last nine years. During that time we have all experienced so much and all have grown. I am grateful of the opportunities that surround my kids as with these opportunities will enable them to go out into the world to function independently.
The thought of time comes to mind and to embrace each moment with your kids. Depending on where the age of your kids is currently at. I encourage you to stay in the moment with them and enjoy being the single biggest influence they will have in their life. With that influence comes great responsibility and the impact you leave them with. This impact will be the starting base of their foundation of their entire life.
As a parent the need to truly serve your kids is paramount in all factors of their growth. The importance of taking your personal success in every aspect of your life. From your professional career to your successful personal relationships. It is your duty to transfer as much knowledge of your successes to your kids.
The age we live in on this planet, the real reality is there are now more human beings than has ever been before. As such less resources for each person, so at the end of the day your knowledge transfer can be game changing for your kids success. As this world is very competitive and cold in regards to human beings trying to gather the energy we all need to survive.
Some cultures handle this transfer of knowledge in different ways and each has different levels of effectiveness Yet the pattern of being the most successful remains in the this world. The importance of being able to teach the skill of transition to our kids is one of the key areas to enable them for a strong foundation of adaptability.
There used to be a time when we could rest for a while after achieving something. Whether it was in our personal life or work life. Now that is not the case anymore as with the speed of knowledge transfer over the last 50 years has increased. Hence the reality is that due to this increase level of energy that exists in the world around us. The importance for us to teach our kinds how to complete the skill of transition. Change as we used to know it will never be the same and as each passing moment that speed is increasing.
To teach the the value to our kids to never rest and to keep pushing forward with their dreams is vital. The harsh reality is if they don't master this skill others will and your kids will be left behind. If this process starts to happen when they are older, as a parent it will be more difficult for you to teach them the skill of transition.
The process of continuous improvement within your kids life is required for them to live a full life. Isn't this a goal as parents we all want for our kids? To be better and stronger than we are.
For our kids to have the skills to be able to live their life to their greatest potential. To be not held back by us and our dreams that we have failed to accomplish in our life.
Enjoy each moment with your kids and by doing this it will help build the skill of transition.

The 69th Chapter - The Energy of Creativity
March 4/17
My thoughts have been on the energy of creativity. So whether you enjoy creating stories, new songs or new art all that energy of creativity is floating around us.
So whatever your natural passion is of your form of creativity your thoughts and creations come from the universe. Like an old school radio signal your antenna is able to pick up these creative energies for you to harness. The beauty of this energy is abundant and unlimited in it's giving to you. When something comes to you, grab it, mold it into you based on your experiences. If you do not capture it when it comes to you that exact form of opportunity may go to someone else.
Picture a park bench waiting for someone to come sit down and enjoy that place to sit. If someone sits down at that bench before you that spot is now currently taken in that moment. That opportunity is now closed for you. The importance of making each moment count and make each opportunity to create value in your growth is paramount.
Grow your own personal accountability and realize it is you that is creating your now. You are attracting that energy into your life. The concept of time and how we view use of that time to create our reality is key. Also the concept of balance and how great growth comes at great risks of our current normalcy. Our natural comfort zone can sometimes act as a barrier for our growth.
Like most great companies and people there usually is a story of a start in a point in time. Where people have risked all in the effort to succeed. Due to this all in great risks tactic the universe provided a great return in regard to success.
So what are you doing in your life that you would like to continue? Or what do you want to improve? Are you using your time in a way that is providing value for what you want? Are you taking risks that are in alignment of what you want? Perhaps it is time to start making different decisions that are in your alignment? It is not an option to remove the person sitting on the park bench however it is an option to look for another one.
So whatever you chose to create the amount of energy put into your creation will equal itself in strength. As nature is in perfect balance the energy needed to undo your creation has to be greater than the energy you have put into it. All things can be impacted with the energy of creation the only variable that can determine how something can be undone is time plus the amount of energy.
There are stories of people leaving their hand print in a mountain side. In this equation of leaving a hand print in the wall the amount of time was very high and the amount of energy produced by laying a hand on solid rock was low. Yet with time a result was seen with a hand print on a solid rock wall. If one was to take a power drill bit and drilled a hole in the same rock. Fill that hole with a explosives the results of setting of this explosions would also change that rock wall forever. As the origin of change is different hence the end result will look different.
The equation variable has also been inverse as such the amount of time required to complete this result is low and the energy of blasting is high to over come the strength of the solid wall. So create your identity of one based of strength with high amounts of positive energy. When you notice a force trying to undo your growth be aware of the two facts of time and amount of energy directed to what you have created.
If you truly want your creations to remain intact you will need to make changes to stop the process of undoing what you have created. That might be staying away from a person or perhaps a refocus on your diet. At the end of this journey only you are the captain of your ship.
How are you going to use your energy and time?

The 68th Chapter - Personal Relationships and Honesty
Feb 26/17
My thoughts turned to personal relationships and honesty. The communication process of getting to know someone and to trust your instincts when you have feelings.
As I have moved through life there was a time when the need to have a personal relationship was important. Regardless of the fact of what my insights were feeling I would sacrifice them to satisfy the need to have a relationship. At the time I did not realize this unhealthy behavior was causing a end result of me losing myself. By one conversation and thought at a time I slowly disappeared to a place of terminal and internal dismay.
The importance of trying to make something happen out of nothing comes to mind. No matter how hard I tried to be successful in my past relationships I was not able to level up. The signs were all there as well as the patterns of replications. Yet I refused to acknowledge them and integrate them into my life.
As I continue my quest to learn and grow by using these types of thoughts in my life. The confidence and knowing has been expanding in who I am as a person. It feels incredible and at first this process was difficult for me in the beginning. There was not as many good days as there is now. As time goes forward I am experiencing more great days and the sense of positive well being is felt.
This is a key takeaway to have this component in your life's quest to find your direction. If you find yourself in your current situation that your insights are telling you to change. Follow them as this is the universe providing you with tangible tools for you to integrate strength into your life.
When you have a moment of quiet time, quiet your mind and ask yourself are you happy? If not, write down a list of three things that are affecting you in a negative way. Once identified explore ways that you can address these three things. Return back to your alignment core and determining what you really want. In this modern age of convenience and internet dating a lot of folks are sometimes looking for the next best thing. While continuing a current relationship and having a eye looking for something else. If you find yourself thinking and feeling this applies to you. The importance of taking a time out for yourself is what is required.
Create your alignment of what you truly want and listen to your internal insights. Once you successfully completed this task the universe will provide the perfect partner for you. You will know before this person comes into your life exactly what your looking for. Once you meet this person you will know this is the person sent for you. The desire to look for anyone else will be over.
Like the passing of time, you will feel a sense of calmness and be able to live life. You will know you have learned with your past and have integrated a new skill set in your life. The sense of the feeling of leveling up will provide you that feeling of comfortableness.
Nature always trusts their instincts and this concept needs to be replicated in you. This will allow your growth and you will notice you will start attracting positive new people in your life. Allow your insights to guide your growth. Be mindful to not live your life in fear of not following your insights.
Imagine a bird never following their instincts to leave the nest and to never fly. That concept does not make sense so as your insights are telling you to fly then leave your nest. Wouldn't you naturally want to fly and grow?
What is your instincts telling you? What are you doing to do right now?
My thoughts turned to personal relationships and honesty. The communication process of getting to know someone and to trust your instincts when you have feelings.
As I have moved through life there was a time when the need to have a personal relationship was important.

Once identified explore ways that you can address these three things. Return back to your alignment core and determining what you really want. In this modern age of convenience and internet dating a lot of folks are sometimes looking for the next best thing. While continuing a current relationship and having a eye looking for something else. If you find yourself thinking and feeling this applies to you. The importance of taking a time out for yourself is what is required.
Create your alignment of what you truly want and listen to your internal insights. Once you successfully completed this task the universe will provide the perfect partner for you. You will know before this person comes into your life exactly what your looking for. Once you meet this person you will know this is the person sent for you. The desire to look for anyone else will be over.
Like the passing of time, you will feel a sense of calmness and be able to live life. You will know you have learned with your past and have integrated a new skill set in your life. The sense of the feeling of leveling up will provide you that feeling of comfortableness.
Nature always trusts their instincts and this concept needs to be replicated in you. This will allow your growth and you will notice you will start attracting positive new people in your life. Allow your insights to guide your growth. Be mindful to not live your life in fear of not following your insights.
Imagine a bird never following their instincts to leave the nest and to never fly. That concept does not make sense so as your insights are telling you to fly then leave your nest. Wouldn't you naturally want to fly and grow?
What is your instincts telling you? What are you doing to do right now?
The 67th Chapter - The Gift of Interactions With Others
Feb 25/17
As you know I value the gift of experiences and interactions from other people. As my journey goes forward I am reflecting about an experience I had this week.
The importance of how one interacts with others is brought to my mind. I randomly bumped into a person I have known for quite sometime now. I was surprised of the large amount of negative energy this person was carrying with them and projecting this energy towards others. As I briefly started to talk with this person this behavior of projecting negative energy towards me continued. It was like being in a dark room with someone having a flash light and that beam was negative energy. One couldn't help but feel that beam of negative energy piecing the darkness.
I know we all struggle in our life from time to time however the importance of always being mindful of what your projecting onto others should be taken into consideration. With this experience I have become quite curious if that same energy would be directed to me again if I saw this person in the future. So I purposely went out of my way to see if this feeling could be replicated again. Sure enough it was and it felt the movie Ground Hog Day.
So in both times of a brief conversation and the impact was a feeling of negative energy. I was not personally offended or hurt by this persons negative tractor beam force in anyway. The take away for me was to be mindful of how my interaction with others and how my impact can effect others.
The pattern of what the overall effect you create in your life is so simple. How one moment and one thought at a time can shape your life. The importance of always checking each and every thought before you allow that thought to grow. Ask yourself what is the origin of that thought and did it come from a place of kindness or not? Whatever your thought pattern is, does it align up to what you truly want in your life?
So when we enter into an area of our life that seem to be negative and to stop that spiral spinning of losing ones life force. Step one is to realize you are the one creating your reality. Step two is to make one thought at a time that is in alignment to what you truly want in your life. From these two steps you will start to experience a shift of focus into your life.
With my interaction with this person I realized the negative energy had no effect on me and my positive energy actually provided an environment where this person felt compelled to leave. In both meetings I could feel my positive energy overpower the negative energy. When this person realized their energy had no effect on me this person quickly withdrew.
As these two interactions left an impact of observation and experience. I couldn't help but wonder if these two interactions had left an impact with this person. My guess would be no as there was such a high level of negative energy in this person. I realized we can not impact everyone to see the world in a positive view point however what we can control is our mental work space health.
The great experiment would be to join these positive work spaces through mental energy to others around us that are like minded. So picture a massive matrix of positive thoughts and energy. We are all connect so by connecting this matrix of touch points with our alignment of thoughts would truly start to impact others. I will suggest the ability to create a positive environment would be unlimited and only limited to the thought of what is possible.
This would be timeless and leveling up of our continuous energy to enable us to travel to places we have not thought possible. All this is possible by one thought at a time in yourself and like the movie the Field of Dreams. Having the thought of you to build your internal ball field they will come and by that you will continue to attract positive into your life.
This process will continue to grow and is truly unlimited in it's growth. All starts with one positive alignment thought at a time.

The 66th Chapter - Gratefulness and Your Alignment
Feb 20/17
The choices we make on a daily basis ultimately will add to our life or will take away from our energy. Currently I have posted 48 chapters of sharing of my thoughts onto my blog. I was recently asked by someone who has read each one. How does it feel when you have finished posting a chapter? This has caused me to pause as I never really put this specific thought into a feeling.
So as I thought about what my answer would be and how to articulate this thought from my feeling. The sense of gratefulness was the first thought that came to me. This person also communicate how much they have enjoyed reading them.
The next thought was the sense of accomplishment with the completion of each chapter followed by the wish that others feel a sense of value also in reading the blog. Then lastly followed by a sense of excitement to where the future will direct my quest. The sense of feeling more confident and that this is truly another beginning for me also comes to mind.
The sense of wanting to continue creating as well to improve the quality of these writings is another goal I have. One of my original goals was to use the venue to help provide a foundation of my personal healing combined with growing my confidence. As I check in and reflect over the past year. I think about what have I done well and have a sense of accomplishment. What are areas that I could improve? Have I made choices that are in alignment to my healing?
Once you start on a new journey in your life the importance to take a moment to reflect on your progress is vital for your continued growth. Perhaps changes have occurred or your growth has shifted your lenses of reality and it is time to move onto something else.
We are genetically programmed to improve and grow. Ultimately it is up to you to create that growth so be mindful to the fact if you stop to grow. Identify what is causing you to stop to grow and focus back on your alignment. The pattern will become clear to you as you reflect to your growth and next steps will also appear for you. Also know that no one person or any external factors can stop that growth in you. Granted your current situation might be extremely difficult in regards to how other people are impacting you. However at the end of the day you have the power to change your reality.
The moment you blame others for your current lack of personal growth is the moment you have truly started to fade away. With this mind set the quest of your growth and happiness will seem to be like a distant far away land. You will become a prisoner in your own thoughts and will not be able to step forward to that oasis of greatness that waits for you.
Although there might be current external factors surrounding you that are creating an environment of not being able to grow. The first step is to realize this growth has stopped and you are not able to recognize the person you currently are. Your inner child will always be there is is currently waiting for you to allow the quest of your growth to return.
You have all the strength inside you to make positive changes. The secret is to believe you are capable to make these changes in your life. Like a small tree that starts to grow in a crack in concrete and over time that tree will shatter the hard concrete. You to will be able to replicate that level of strength. The first step is to listen and feel your inner child. This will enable you to once again love yourself which then leads to your confidence to blossom.
Even if your external factors of concrete feel too strong for you to grow. Like in nature it can over come anything over time. So can you replicate this process in your internal person you are.
Encourage your inner child to take that first step and go forward to realize your greatness. Become a source of strength.
