Dec 11/16
Each and every start to your day - you are granted the gift of a completely new day. This day is your gift to make it whatever you want this day to be in regards to your energy outlook. The choice is yours to decide are you going to continue to build on your foundation of your greatness in a positive way or not. The great thing about being given the gift of a new day is even if yesterday was not in alignment of what you truly desire in your life - you now have a new chance to create that alignment within you with this new day.
Sometimes in life we may choose to not give something in our life another chance - and yes sometimes we do need to make choices to end something in our life that does not bring alignment to where we are going. The interesting thought of the universe always remains constant - it does not matter what you have done the day before - you are given the chance to go forward everyday. Everyday with no judgments, expectation or holding your past experiences on you - the gift of the new day gives this to you each morning when you wake up.
The universe provides you to start each day with a true 100 percent reset. The thought of this concept is powerful and if used more with our daily interactions with others - what would the outcome be? verses what you are currently experiencing in your life. If you are currently struggling with some issues in your life and you determine that you need to have these expediencies in your life then start by practising what the universes gives you each day. Does it not seem rational if you are provided the true gift of a reset that you then would use that concept with dealing with others in your life? Everyone starts their day to try to do their best - yourself included - so a tool to help you and others around you is to allow the gift of going forward and not holding onto past experiences.
Would this type of interaction add to the positive energy to us and our communities? Of course this type of interaction would only be impactful if the person we are interacting with also has the same mind set. The mind set of truly believing in the good of others.
Like in a previous chapter of the story of the boy, man and the starfish - the reality faced from each starfish was truly the same - however in that constant state two people had two completely different view points of reality. Based on their interpretations of what they saw and had experienced in their life. The power of being able to start ones thought place - one kind thought at a time - imagine how all of us would feel if each thought we have and others around us always were to start the foundation of that thought based on kindness.
Sounds impossible or improbable? Challenge yourself to start out small and have only one kind thought a day and pay that forward. Focus on - you did make a positive difference at the end of your day and let that experience grow in you. Then the next step is once you start to feel that growth and change in you start teaching this experience to others around you.
Teach others what you have learned and most importantly tell the why's behind this new you that others are seeing.
Like anything or anyone great - whatever the component is in the building blocks - it all starts small and grows to great one thought at a time.
What are you going to do today after reading this chapter? Before I started writing these thoughts I was a person that was in a negative cycle of self doubt and in a "poor me" mind set. The reason I share that personal thought is if your thinking there is no way this type of thoughts can make a difference in your life or your not able to change your current thought pattern. It is possible - I am proof you can make a difference and if I can do it - you can as well.
As I go on my journey of life my relationships with my kids have grown stronger and my work performance has improved. With all that increased richness I now feel in my life it can be contributed to what I have wrote about and continue to write about.
Now is your time to make a difference.
What if the beliefs shaping your life were never truly yours? From an early age, we inherit ideas about success, failure, money, relationships, risk, and who we are supposed to become. Over time, these beliefs quietly form a map that guides our decisions—but what happens when that map leads toward someone else’s destination?

The 43rd Chapter - Self-fulfillment and Internal Happiness of You
Dec 10/16
The quest for self-fulfillment and internal happiness sometimes might feel as allusive as the mystic fountain of youth. The patterns of life experiences and our current reality, although new to us as we go forward in this life, the general events are nothing that has not happened before.
One of the keys to fulfillment is to own these moments of yours - as they truly are only yours. Just like years ago when different European powers discovered all of North America - as they slowly explored, they would stake their claim of land and area. All of North America existed before they arrived, nothing was new to North America or the people living there at the time. The only difference was the foreign people discovery of North America for the first time and staking their claim. Please keep in mind I am not suggesting to physically take over things or to be unkind to others - this is a way for me to connect and explain that as long as people are here on this planet - nothing every really changes. The individual people change that in their life they experience growth (exploring new land) but fundamentally the patterns of life never change.
Like streets in a city or rivers on our landscapes, these are all an example of creating flow and balance. As we continue our journey of life the importance of maintaining balance and using the patterns around us to achieve our happiness or fulfillment. What we chose and what we surround ourselves with will propel us with the flow of energy of the universe and by doing this you will start to feel that internal happiness that no one or nothing can provide for you on that level. Other people or things can sometime fill a happiness void for a short time - but is never lasting. Like the flash floods of a dessert rain - the rivers flow for a short time then disappear to the lands natural dry state. Yet in these same areas you can dig down deep enough in the earth and you will find an endless supply of water.
This pattern is the same within you. The only way to achieve a life long flowing river is within you. Once you dig down deep enough you will feel the endless gifts of happiness and fulfillment.
Over the last few weeks - this feeling of happiness and fulfillment are growing stronger in me. This morning waking up and truly being happy and not needing anyone or anything to provide me with that feeling. As you continue with your quest to dig your well of water or recognize patterns around you - you will experience moments when you will feel uncomfortable and fail with your quest of fulfillment. This will happen and with it does, do not quit, it will feel like you should go back to what you used to know. If your unhappy in your past - do not give in to to going backwards - push forward - reflect - ask why this current setback has occurred to you. What can you do to learn more? What has appeared into your life lately? This recent appearance of a person or experience might also hold a key to unlocking your next level in your quest. Like the young person learning how to walk - at the beginning they fall more then are successful in their walking attempts but yet they continue to go forward and master the act of walking for them.
This pattern will occur in everything new you do in life - somethings will come easier than other things - yet the pattern of initial failure will happen at different levels and the only true failure will be if you completely quit. To stop trying to go forward with whatever you feel you need to do will be a personal tragedy to you. Like the young child - to quit trying to walk is not even an option - use this thought to propel yourself forward to your greatness.
You are entitled to your entire gift of life that was given to each and everyone of us. The gift of greatness was given to you - it is now up to you to identify that gift and live it each moment.

The 42nd Chapter - Power of Your Thought and Your Destiny
Dec 4/16
My thoughts turn to the power of a thought or idea and that, as humans, that single act is the creation of everything. Since the beginning of time of man on this earth - everything that we have learned or built - has it origin in the human mind at one point.
Sometimes I feel a sense of awe when the relation of a single thought translate into the pattern of growth. Also that all great works and break through's starts with the replication of a simple pattern. From that pattern (foundation) everything we, as a human race, have been able to experience a impact of a direct benefit of what was created.
The great pyramids of Egypt are made up of thousand of individual building blocks that together a great structure has stood for thousand's of years. Thoughts of perseverance and about one single small action at a time has created this great feat. The value of that single thought of that created - when the vision of the great pyramids were created has left an almost unmeasured able value to man kind.
This same concept can be used in your own self-growth and the ability for you to unlock your greatness. All of what you want to become starts with a single thought from you. From there explore how you are going to achieve what you need to do to unlock your greatness. From there it will require small repetitive actions over and over to build your own personal great pyramids. Ones that will stand strong, true and will withstand the constant sand storms of life. The challenges you face will never disappear, like the sand storms of the dessert, the only change you can do is build yourself strong to withstand what life's storms will send your way.
Once you become strong and have your pyramids complete, the next step is to take a step out of your comfort zone to help others build their own pyramids and help them unlock their personal greatness. That is when a great amount of growth is experienced when you truly serve others. The power to lead others to be strong and emotionally healthy is the greatest gift one can do for another.
Imagine being able to create great pyramids all over the world and do it very quickly. Imagine the impact and change your one step at a time can make on people. Now even further imagine the folks that you teach this concept too, also pay it forward to the folks that are seeking to grow. So by one conversation at a time the world would truly change and start becoming a better place.
Some might say this task is impossible, but like the creation of the great pyramids to putting a man on the moon - it is possible - the root and foundation is the thought that this can be done. From there, by one single stone at a time, the momentum starts to grow.
People have the almost magical type ability to create whatever they want to create. As the time when people were building the pyramids - the thought of creating a ship to go into the dark vastness of space would have been thought of as impossible.
So whatever quest you are going to embark on - as long as your motivations are true and right - you will accomplish what you set out to do. Also remember, although it is simple to use the tools you need to unlock your greatness, you will experience storms on the way to your goal. Be mindful you will have all the help you need when you need it.
Whether it is people or signs there will be light houses along your journey that will warn you of danger and will direct you the course to be on the correct course to get what you truly need.

The 41st Chapter - Communication - Understanding - Trust and The Impact
Dec 3/16
The thought of communication, understanding and trust with other people and how that three things can interact with two people. How several different outcomes can be felt from these components. It also can translate into possible bonding issues as well - From there can lead to levels of respect that vary from different levels in people.
Recently I went on a business trip that was overall very positive - however it did take a lot of energy. Prior to the trip I did communicate to someone that I would be very busy and not have a lot of spare time - as this was an important business trip. So based on that communication and understanding an agreement was created between two people. As the week went on the agreement was kept 100 percent of that time. No boundary was crossed, high levels of respect was maintained and a very important learning objective was achieved for me. I realized from this that no energy was drained from me to try to maintain a connection with that person.
A feeling of comfort and understanding was also received during that week - even thought there was almost no contact.
As some of you reading this probably have had experiences of changed demands of communication and understandings put on you from someone else. As a sensitive and kind person - you may have had a feeling - energy drain - and depending on the level of energy drain - you may have tried to meet the demands of changing expectations - that you had not agreed too.
What I did not realize at the time of not understanding - my boundaries were not being respected. So a symptom I would focus on was to try harder to communicate and try to estimate the next changing agreement - which over time, would finally lead me to a state of being completely depleted of my energy and nothing left to give. Which leads to fundamentally low levels of trust between two people as communication is not followed and boundaries ran over by one person to another.
As I reflected on this point I realized I totally missed the root cause and grateful that I have been taught how respected communicate should be between two people. As I thought about this concept it is amazing of how much I would deny who I am as a person with this type of negative behavior in my life.
It seems so clear now as I write this of how unbalanced this type of communication was - at the time I did not see it. Like the frog put in cold water and slowly the temperature of that water increased, the frog did not move which resulted in being cooked alive.
This can be compared to the slow emotional drain of energy in you. So slow at first the changes were not noticed, until you have no energy left. I had no idea what was happening, when I was learning this life's lesson. So grateful of the clarity now that I have been gifted - the gift of understanding.
Like any new learning, I am not an expert at this, however awareness has been achieved and now I am practicing this process of clear communication with being able to realize if there has been follow through or not based on clear understanding between two people. It is now becoming easier to have understanding and agreements. When agreements change without clear communication be mindful of this and that this is happening of your boundaries being crossed. (and no you are not crazy) From there feel the impact of this to you - is it adding or taking away energy from you? Whatever you decide - you will bring more of this into your life.
As it is not possible to control how others treat you - the only choice you have is to remove yourself from interactions from people like this - if these interactions with this person are causing a negative outcome to you.
As I write these words today, I feel myself growing more calm and confident. I am so grateful that I have been given the gift of starting to see positive or negative impact of choices I make directly now.
Thank you to my family and friends that have always been there - like a lighthouse - standing strong and lighting the warnings until I saw them.

The 40th Chapter - The Importance of Gratitude
Nov 27/16
I am thinking of the importance of gratefulness. Specifically I would like to express, as I continue my journey of growth, having the growing awareness of knowing and being able to identify patterns in my life that contributes to life's experiences. I am grateful that when something happens that triggers a negative emotion that I now have the ability to firstly recognize that negative experience and secondly I am able to control my thoughts in a way to enable me to not lose my balance and focus.
In the past I would allow experiences or people to dramatically affect my center of being. When that would happen a feeling helpless would surface combined with a lack of clarity of what happened. To now have the ability to provide my own strength and reset my own course in a very short amount of time, the feeling is very empowering. Life is truly incredible.
Sometimes when you are in a a energy force or one of life's storms - it will sometimes cause your thoughts to wonder - the patterns of life will always repeat. Right now the image of a ocean storm comes to mind. With the crashing of waves and wind that makes your forward course of your journey difficult. So your thoughts can also be impacted by someone energy and can cause slowing of your direction. Once the wind and waves quiet down the journey becomes easier and a lot more clarity is possible.
As the storm, one can not control when or where a storm will exist - the same with a persons energy you cannot control this energy. The course of action is up to you to realize the impact and pull away from people that are causing a storm within your journey of life. By doing this it will allow the waves and wind to become calm and your journey will become easier again.
The importance of time and the value of what you spend your time on - come to mind now. It may seem there is endless amount of time and it is easy to get swept up in the day to day events, Once awareness is triggered on time - what will your thoughts be on how you spend your time?
Did you fill your days with success? Did you accomplish what you set out to do today? Is there a feeling of job well done? Or one of regret?
Today is the exact moment for you to ensure you will feel job well done and full steam ahead to conquer any storm that you may face.

The 39th Chapter - Power of Positive Thought
Nov 26/16
I would like to share a story that happened to me about three years ago in the middle of the summer. It was during a time in my life where I was really questioning pretty much everything and did not know a direction for me.
At that time it seemed like everything was overwhelming and I did not have a clear sight or any direction. Also at that time period a great friend planted the seed about the thought that you can truly get whatever you put out to the universe. At this time I was, in general, very negative and did not fully believe in that concept of you can bring things into your life with your thoughts - whether that be positive or negative things - not only physical things but also your emotional well being.
So as I was quite skeptical and not fully believing in this concept whatsoever I thought - well I shall prove this concept wrong and at the next opportunity I will prove that there is no way you can bring things into your life by the power of a thought.
Not long after this I was invited to go to a golf tournament and it was one that had a lot of prizes. Not only for the usual best performance prizes but also general prized to be won by getting your name drawn. I realized this was my moment to disprove this theory.
Some of you that know me will know I love to cook with a BBQ, so I was drawn to one of three smokers. They were quite large and could smoke any kind of meat you would like. So I put my mind on the thought that I will win one of the smokers. So the time comes to start drawing names for the smokers - one, two names are drawn and not mine yet - and the third name - sure enough I was the winner for the last smoker.
I was taken aback - I did not really believe in this concept and when I challenged it - the universe did prove me wrong - so many thoughts come to mind once this happened - and it took a while to fully understand and I am still learning and want to learn more.
Things like the importance of not letting my ego ruin what the universe wants to provide. Our minds are so powerful and we will create a reality that we want to be in. In general as little beings in this life time we are taught at a young age that we cannot do a lot of things that are non-tangible.
One of the results of this type of conditioning end up causing most of us to not be able to reach for the greatness that is inside of each of us. We will retreat to do the basic of how to survive - which our society does a great job of providing that skill set to us. Unfortunately it stops there and most of us end up living a life that could be so much richer - the key to that or changing that is awaken your inner child again and open up your intuition.
Look at your feelings, that for years you may have repressed as you were told to do. As you start to have these feelings begin to grow inside of you - stop and listen to what is happening around you - start by writing down in a journal so you can start to identify patterns that start repeating. Also start thinking about attracting a mentor type person into your life - with the thought to truly learn and start exploring a side of you that has been dormant for a lone time.
That person or readings will appear exactly when you need them to in your life. Be open to whom your attracting and do not have any preconceived notions of what you expect this person to provide. Also listen to your instincts if this person truly has your best interests in mind.
There are people out there that do not have others interests in mind but will be serving their own agenda. So you will attract those but have the strength to believe in your gut and follow the direction you need to go.. Be mindful of your own current self esteem as well, as it is very important to ensure your mindset is one of strength and health. If your in a low period of your life and you attract someone new into your life be cautious with how much you let them influence you. The old saying you are what you attract and you attract what you are is key. So you might be attracting someone new into your life that will not bring you up but continue to keep you down and to not grow in a positive manner.
As you start to practice this type of thoughts in your mind and truly want to grow your dormant side - at first it will go slowly but as time passes, like the marathon runner, your practice will pay off and this growth in you will become easier and more noticeable to yourself and others around you.
The pattern of growth will start in you - like a small apple tree planted in the soil and over time it will grown into a strong tree that provides not only apples for you but others around as well. Another example that nature and the universe will always provide more than the minimum. There is so much abundance in life.
So your choice is whether that abundance is positive or negative and your choices will provide that.
I would like to share a story that happened to me about three years ago in the middle of the summer. It was during a time in my life where I was really questioning pretty much everything and did not know a direction for me.
At that time it seemed like everything was overwhelming and I did not have a clear sight or any direction.

At this time I was, in general, very negative and did not fully believe in that concept of you can bring things into your life with your thoughts - whether that be positive or negative things - not only physical things but also your emotional well being.
So as I was quite skeptical and not fully believing in this concept whatsoever I thought - well I shall prove this concept wrong and at the next opportunity I will prove that there is no way you can bring things into your life by the power of a thought.
Not long after this I was invited to go to a golf tournament and it was one that had a lot of prizes. Not only for the usual best performance prizes but also general prized to be won by getting your name drawn. I realized this was my moment to disprove this theory.
Some of you that know me will know I love to cook with a BBQ, so I was drawn to one of three smokers. They were quite large and could smoke any kind of meat you would like. So I put my mind on the thought that I will win one of the smokers. So the time comes to start drawing names for the smokers - one, two names are drawn and not mine yet - and the third name - sure enough I was the winner for the last smoker.
I was taken aback - I did not really believe in this concept and when I challenged it - the universe did prove me wrong - so many thoughts come to mind once this happened - and it took a while to fully understand and I am still learning and want to learn more.
Things like the importance of not letting my ego ruin what the universe wants to provide. Our minds are so powerful and we will create a reality that we want to be in. In general as little beings in this life time we are taught at a young age that we cannot do a lot of things that are non-tangible.
One of the results of this type of conditioning end up causing most of us to not be able to reach for the greatness that is inside of each of us. We will retreat to do the basic of how to survive - which our society does a great job of providing that skill set to us. Unfortunately it stops there and most of us end up living a life that could be so much richer - the key to that or changing that is awaken your inner child again and open up your intuition.
Look at your feelings, that for years you may have repressed as you were told to do. As you start to have these feelings begin to grow inside of you - stop and listen to what is happening around you - start by writing down in a journal so you can start to identify patterns that start repeating. Also start thinking about attracting a mentor type person into your life - with the thought to truly learn and start exploring a side of you that has been dormant for a lone time.
That person or readings will appear exactly when you need them to in your life. Be open to whom your attracting and do not have any preconceived notions of what you expect this person to provide. Also listen to your instincts if this person truly has your best interests in mind.
There are people out there that do not have others interests in mind but will be serving their own agenda. So you will attract those but have the strength to believe in your gut and follow the direction you need to go.. Be mindful of your own current self esteem as well, as it is very important to ensure your mindset is one of strength and health. If your in a low period of your life and you attract someone new into your life be cautious with how much you let them influence you. The old saying you are what you attract and you attract what you are is key. So you might be attracting someone new into your life that will not bring you up but continue to keep you down and to not grow in a positive manner.
As you start to practice this type of thoughts in your mind and truly want to grow your dormant side - at first it will go slowly but as time passes, like the marathon runner, your practice will pay off and this growth in you will become easier and more noticeable to yourself and others around you.
The pattern of growth will start in you - like a small apple tree planted in the soil and over time it will grown into a strong tree that provides not only apples for you but others around as well. Another example that nature and the universe will always provide more than the minimum. There is so much abundance in life.
So your choice is whether that abundance is positive or negative and your choices will provide that.

The 38th Chapter - Are You Benefiting From Synchronicty
Nov 20/16
My thoughts are on synchronicity and how a person can use that for your fuel and also gather comfort knowing you are on your correct path. I am visiting some amazing family friends that live close to Houston Texas. I have been running for quite sometime now and at home I have a specific distance I run each time. As my goal is to increase my speed and overall physical cardiac condition. I use the basic time and distance calculation to monitor my progress. As I arrived at my friend's place, I asked where I could run, a route was given to me and when I completed the run the total distance was exactly the same distance as my route at home.
Perhaps somethings in life are random, however I know this distance that I did not chose this route - was not random. I remember completing the first run and the surge of energy coming in my body because of realizing the distant was identical as I read the measurement.
I felt first hand the fuel of light flowing into my body and provided me with all the energy I needed for that day.
As I like patterns and the importance of having your life foundation strong so it will enable you to be a great person that each of us are. This pattern will replicate in a smaller way in your day to day life as you start out your morning. Your thoughts and routine create the foundation for you that day. If you start out in a positive place there will be little that any negative influences will be able to take you off your course of greatness for that day.
The small replication of your repeated actions with the intent of greatness will provide you with the foundation to open yourself up to not only feel great but have the confidence you deserve within in you.
So whatever you truly want to achieve, whether it be family richness, financial wealth or community achievements - you will have it and if you decide you want all of the above you will achieve that as well.
The power of your thoughts combined with your daily small steps and your life's quest will allow you to have whatever you chose in your life.
It really is that simple.
