Then the by play began.

Bob to Me: ( teasingly) Oh grow up.

Me to Bob: YOU grow up.

Daphne: Oh it’s so hard to listen to my thoughts when it’s quiet.

Me: Oh that’s good, you don’t hear your ego too much.

Daphne: Oh so I shouldn’t listen to my teachers when they teaching or I should not think when I’m studying.

Me: Those information are used when they are needed.

This time we were already in church.

There was an annoucement that they were short of Altar Server. Immediately Daphne got up.

During the homily, the priest talked about the importance of Silence. His example was about how parents choose their children’s professions. He mentioned that Children are not parent’s property and that we should listen to what God is telling us rather than run after the money, fame, reputation so we parents can boast. He said that ” only in silence that you will hear God”. Of course my ego is very happy. One I proved that I was right and my daughter is getting this first hand confirmation from our priest. Secondly, I am happy because I knew she was listening after all she was in front not very far away from the priest. When at the altar, I find that she is more focused. It’s not so much the validation but it is making sure that the message finally got to her…I hope.

Kids these days are bombarded by so much noise, too much stimulant around them. They get easily bored and they multi task in ways I can’t imagine. My daughter doesn’t get a lot of TV but there’s the internet, iphone, Skype and all the social networks. She is very ambitious, driven and I sometime want to stop her desire to join this project or that club. No wonder she is always thinking. If I could be that parent who chooses her profession, I would like for her to have some time to just BE, even for a short time. I wanted this for her because I want her to have this gap where God  will have the chance to speak to her and not be left with her own thinking and finding ways and solutions on her own. I don’t want her ego to take over.

After the mass, we were joking about the previous conversation.

I said: So Daphne did you hear what the Fr. said?

Daphne: Oh, that you don’t own me? ( typical teenager with a selective hearing)

The teasing went on until

Daphne said:

I guess Mom, blonde girls are the most enlightened people huh? ( just another blonde joke).

I have been a student of the new age teaching on how to be positive to attract the things you desire in your life, whether it is money, a job, relationship, health even a parking spot. I believe in the Law of Attraction, and had made big changes, since I devoted my life to practicing the book The Secret. I saw it featured in Oprah but on replay. It’s been a successful book long before I discovered it. Before that I had no clue how to live my life. I did not know that I was going about it totally wrong. No wonder my life was a never ending suffering which at that time I did not know was my fault. I thought I was just a victim of circumstances, unlucky and helpless.

When I read The Secret, I connected with it instantly. I recognized what the book was talking about because in my younger years I brought about results that would not have happened in my favour if had not believed, if I had not stayed positive. In my teens I had already been practicing visualizing without knowing it. I was a late bloomer. I never really paid attention to boys but after graduating university, I wrote myself a note about what my ideal man was. I knew what I wanted. So I wrote it down and forgot about it. During my early 20′s my focus was my career. I was very driven to start my career in Interior Design or Fashion Design and I was driven to go to the US. I did not know how I would go about doing these but I again just put that desire out there to the Universe. Well, to make the story short, I am now married to my ideal man and I’ve lived in the US and now in Canada. So, I know The Secret works!

After I read The Secret, I continued to search. I found some holes and I had some questions. I went to the library,  got one book after another book that talked about same thing, but each had more information than the other. My knowledge was increasing each time and the reading went on for about 4 years now. My search led me to teachers like Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and I even read the Dalai Lama’s books now. Over the 4 years, I not only read the books but because of my committment to learn and live the teachings to change my life, I practiced it and practiced it. It was not easy, but I stayed with it. There were times when I felt my situation had not changed anything. No, I shouldn’t say that. The physical form around me stayed the same but I felt my feelings about it was lighter, and I was happier. During this time I was not working. I chose not to get a job unless I was sure that what I would get was something I love. So, since it had not come yet, I stayed focus on being happy by going for a walk, started eating healthy, making sure that I laughed a lot. I stopped watching TV unless it’s a comedy. Having no income coming in didn ‘t bother me.  Somehow, we managed to live abundantly. Because we were able to live in abundance when really the physical form of money was not present, we were able to manifest abundance. It took us 2 years before we are able to see the things we desired in life.

During my learning stage ( and I still consider myself a student up to now) one of the book that really helped me move forward was the book of Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth, Awakening of New Life’s Purpose. I again understood it, so I kept reading his other books. By applying what I read, I learned to become aware of my mind chatters. Thoughts that were present, for example, what others may be thinking of me, what I thought would happen if I did or didn’t do a certain thing, or thoughts that would stop me or convinced me that I shouldn’t do something  I was thinking of doing. I recognized it right away and was able to eliminate them by just not listening to them. Somehow these chatters became less and less until finally I achieved quiet…silence…peace. I can actually, in my awake state, NOT THINK! Then, I also learned to not listen to noise. Some people may be bothered my baby’s cries. When we took a plane in London to Barcelona, we were flying with a Spanish boy’s hockey team. They were in their early teens. The plane was a small one, so you can imagine the noisy, somewhat obnoxious kids who, some were seated in front of us while the others were behind us. My hubby was not impressed, luckily he had an Ipod to listen to. Mine got lost, but the noise didn’t bother me. I actually knew how to tune out in a big way. At the lecture this weekend with Eckhart Tolle, his wife was talking about how Eckhart doesn’t listen all the time to people who are talking to him. He acknowledge them by being in the present with them, but not hear them. At that time he also knew that whatever he needed to hear he would hear. I laughed at that, because when my teenage daughter starts babbling at me, I nod too without hearing her, until she says something that was important, then I would say ” what was that again?”

Eckhart also said that the past is not important in the present. In my Importance of Stillness Part I blog, I mentioned how fear started to creeped in. The past experience started to relive itself in the present moment. The more I listened to it, the more I get anxious, the more I believe it. Eckhart said that practising to be in the NOW, by being conscious, aware of the present moment is how you will get rid of the past in your NOW. They cannot exist at the same time. People seem to live in the past by reliving the past hurts, the past life or living in the future, ” I have to get this out of the way because I have to get there then I will be happy.” So timely for my situation. I have so many things to do these days, so I never stop. I keep saying ” I will just finish this then, I can do that, so that I can finally rest, and while I do one task my mind is already on the next task, and the next…And, when I’m done, do you think I will be satisfied to stop? So when will I ever stop? I will not be able to live in the moment. Of course, as I go through this, all the negative emotions like, anger, criticism, fear, unhappiness, depression will arise. The ego will not let us rest. The ego will always take over if we don’t guard our consciousness. It will lead us, as it disguises itself as an important entity. Really, it’s not important, ego is not our true self. Our true self is living in the stillness within us.  As Eckhart said we need to awaken that conciousness so that we are aware of when the ego is taking over. The thoughts in our head, the fear, are not real. They look real to us but they are not. Just like my fear of going back to my old life is not real. I had no basis for that, my past no longer exist. yet my ego tries to justify it, tries to remind me, where I made a mistake. These thoughts are no longer real, they are not formed in the present moment.

I was very fortunate to be able to attend the lecture with Eckhart Tolle & his wife Kim Eng. I look forward seeing him again and next time I will bring my husband and daughter with me. There is no other blessing for my family greater than being able to awaken our consciousness from within. It would be a great gift to the world.

Lately, life is good. I have been riding a life full of blessings, abundance is really manifesting in my daily life. I feel very supported by God in all my interests, all my plans, all my creative endevours and even all the fun and enjoyment in life. I am happy because aside from those things I am blessed with a wonderful husband, a good, beautiful and creative daughter, parents who are still with us, good health and wealth to draw from to make things happen. Things happen so easily for me. People think I am very lucky and “favoured” by up above.

This is probably why lately I am beginning to feel uncomfortable, guilty and worried. I can feel it and I am aware of it. When I contemplate on this feeling I picture the death eaters in Harry Potter shadowing over me. That’s a good thing, for me to picture  because this means I am not conquered by it yet. That I am still separated from it.

When I feel the negative emotions that my ego tries to convince me to pay attention to, I ask it “WHY”? Why do I feel that way. Do I feel worried because I am afraid that it won’t last? Am I afraid that because I am living in abundance that soon all the money will be gone because I didn’t put limits to my abundance?

Why do I feel uncomfortable? Am I bragging when I tell about my successes, my joys, my blessings? Should I stop? That should take care of my feeling uncomfortable.

Why do I feel guilty? Do I feel I am not worthy of all the graces coming my way? Do I deserve them?

In the midst of silence, the answer that came to me is that… Am I grateful? If I am, these ”fears” ( yes these are FEARS in different forms) will not be there. During this time of reflection, deep within me tells me that I don’t need to feel this way. God has been very good to me not because I am favoured. He is good to everyone of His creation. I believe that I manifest a good life because I allow God’s goodness to enter my life and I did that by consciously letting it in. How did I do that? When life was not perfect I thought otherwise. I removed all the barriers by correcting my thinking and feeling. I convinced myself that I was happy and that I deserved to have a good life. Now that I am living  a better life, why am I feeling the shift towards that direction, the unhealthy thinking. You know why my life was like a rollercoaster before? I had happy moments then I let unhappiness kick in. I think that is the lesson there. Why would I want that life again? I believe that if I continue along the fearful path, my life will be heading there. I CHOOSE to change paths.

To be truly grateful, one has to know a deeper understanding on how God’s love works. His love for us is bountiful and is available equally for all. I believe that what he gives me, He can and wants to give to each and everyone of us. When I feel afraid, uncomfortable and guilty, it is a sign that tells God, ”it’s okay God, I am okay now, I can take over now, thank you though”. See the wrong thinking in this picture? It’s like I’m embarrassed to receive more. Who is putting the blockage? Not God but me. God was so happy to give for He is abundant. He wants our lives to receive so that we will all shine. In shining, we can then give. We can inspire others, we can laugh more often, we can make the world a better place which I think is what God wants.

So, how can I show my gratefulness? By reveling in my blessings, by tasting it’s sweetness, by being happy. I cannot say I am thankful when I project a negative feeling. God is probably saying, ” what are you not happy about, am I not giving you everything?” Here are some of the  affirmations I used before and I should not forget, “I allow all good things to come to my life.  I deserve more blessings for I am a child of God. I am abundant because God is abundant. God supports everything I do. I am thankful for God’s love in my life.”  It is in receiving that I manifest God’s work and in letting it happen by not blocking it by FEAR that I show my gratefulness. It is in allowing yourself to have the life you desire, that you can truly see God’s goodness, for these blessings are all God’s work.

I have been extremely busy with living my life, and  I forgot to pay attention to “ME”. It is not something new. When I find a direction to take, I journey through it so passionately that I don’t allow “Myself” to take a breather. Lately, with the preparation of my practice as a LifeCoach and Feng Shui Practitioner, I put deadlines on all the tasks I have to accomplish. Sometimes, the deadlines are placed upon me, like the lease settlement, project completions. On top of this, my mom got sick and she need some time spent with her, never mind the holiday fast approaching, I haven’t thought of that yet!

I was just taking them in calmly ( I thought), just checking off the list I as go, but what I didn’t realize was that I really never stopped. My mind kept thinking, my body kept moving from one place to another, and my spirit was getting low because I was overwhelmed. I love to meditate. I have a meditation area in  our bedroom and since I added that feature, I had practiced only twice. I kept telling myself everyday that I would meditate. Of course, at the end of the day it’s always set aside, just like eating right, exercising and reading the books that feed my soul.

Don’t get me wrong, I am happy doing the things for my work. I am happy to be with my mom and to be a housewife and mother. There was not a single time that I didn’t like what I was doing. However, I felt that I was no longer travelling with my spirit. My inner self kind of left me. I felt that there’s no light shining through me. I became sensitive, easy to get angry. I found that the love for myself suddenly disappeared.  I was looking for love from the outside by turning to my spouse and daughter and when they could not give me exactly what I was looking for I fell apart.

I was aware that something was no longer right but I thought I just couldn’t afford to stop. After, my melt down yesterday, after feeling so stressed out, I saw how important to remember to nourish the inner self. I knew this but I did not really see the importance until I had my breakdown. To me it’s a lesson that made an imprint. To me this is something that I cannot take for granted anymore.

As a new day start, I vowed today that I will take care of “Me” today. I will choose three tasks to do and the rest is for “Me”. It will be hard to do, believe me, but I will get off the habit of overworking and I will begin a new habit of spending time for myself, whatever it takes. My within is more important than my outer world. I cannot be who I want to be if I don’t pay attention to who I am. Today I will choose to just BE.

Before I end, I believe that whatever happens to me in my life journey, has its reasons. This lesson I just unwrapped is in perfect timing. This coming weekend, I will be spending two days of my life with Eckhart Tolle as I attend his TV Taping here in Vancouver. His books taught me how to find stillness in my life I went through self transition. Attending his lectures will remind me to live in the now and that it’s okay to be still.

FEAR tells us to NOT go. FEAR tells us to stop and retreat. FEAR tells us that if we continue with the path, we MIGHT see a gate closed. Then what? It will try to convince us that we are making a big mistake. But, if we listen to it, how can we see what is in store for us at the other side of that gate? The more we pay attention to the FEAR, the more our belief on taking that path diminishes. We will begin to believe that we are heading for trouble.

Hear it NOT! Listen to your heart instead. If your heart tells you that you must take this path, regardless of the unknown, move forward and BELIEVE!

Sometimes we don’t know what’s waiting for us at the end of the road. Sometimes, we don’t need to know and all we need is to TRUST. If we feel that we are at the end of our strength, we have to surrender. We have to accept that we are no longer in control. When we do this,  we will find peace in our hearts that will allow us to take this journey easily and peacefully. FEAR doesn’t like this and it knows that it can never win anymore so it will also surrender. If we BELIEVE that things will work out for us, usually that is what we get and more.

I had an opportunity to test my FAITH, when my financial situation was a mess. I did not know where that could lead. After the acceptance and the surrender, I began to consciously choose to live a happy life, like I didn’t have any financial issues at all. It was a long road for a while, till I knew it was coming to it’s end. I didn’t see any solution or outcome. In surrendering on not being able to control my situation, I lived my life in gratitude for nature, my family, our dog, good health, etc instead. I learned to see the beauty of living and I nurtured it. As I came close to the end, I did not see a closed gate. I saw a gate that is opening. Things started to change. It opened to a new world. At the other side of the gate was all my financial burden disappearing. Money became abundant. It opened new experiences like travelling to Spain, becoming a Lifecoach and Feng Shui practioner, a beautiful rented place, but most of all, I experienced how great God’s love for me. What happened is unimaginable. If I had been FEARFUL, if I decided not to hold on to FAITH,  I wouldn’t have seen the promise of BELIEVING.

Today, I am totally living a different world from the old road I travelled. This new path I take, is again unknown. As I began my journey to a new career, new life purpose, I have no doubt at all that this is where I want to go. I have not tested the water, as the saying goes, all I carry with me as I walk this new path is again… my FAITH. My belief that I am going to be good at my chosen work. My belief that I am provided, whatever I need to do the work. My resources are unlimited.

Sometimes FEAR creeps in. I am aware of it. However, when I go deep within me and KNOW who I AM? There is no place for FEAR to stay.  For ” as within, so without”.

Somehow as we got older, we experienced the lack of happiness. We seem to work harder to get it. Our life became a roller coaster. We fell in love, got a promotion, had an accident, reconnected with an old friend, had to move, travelled, had a spat with your flame, on and on. We have mistaken the good events as our happiest and best moments of our lives. Then we see the undesirable events to be misfortune or lack of luck.

In truth, those events are just that… events. We walk this journey in life full of them. The way we respond to it is what truly makes us happy. We should try not to attach ourselves to them. We can try not to judge or identify ourselves with them. Let’s say, you are not your promotion, nor your success in business nor the money you have in your bank account. The same goes with the things that are not working in your life, you are not that either.

When we choose to respond this way, we avoid the feeling of the high and low tides of our emotions. We stay on an even keel, therefore we are more peaceful.

What I find in my life is that the greatest joy is when I shared laughter with a group of women, who couldn’t figure out how much to tip after dining, when I see the sky lift up as it becomes brighter over an expansive ocean, when I watch my favorite hockey player because I admire his determination, when I talk to my family. I cherish these moments as they happen. I let go, as it passes by because I am open to receive more of these kinds of happiness each and every day. Sure, I am happy when I achieve something or when I get to go some place. Don’t get me wrong, I allow myself to celebrate and rejoice when I receive these blessings and I should. In doing that, I became grateful.

When you know you can choose happiness, it is so easy to collect the events that will make you happy. It’s no longer depending on luck, or others to give them to you. It will not be dependent of any unknown circumstances. You are responsible for having them appear in your life. You can choose to look at a flower and be happy…this is the kind of happiness I’m talking about. And you know what, the more you consciously choose to do this, the happier you will be.  The big events that you think is important won’t matter anymore because your heart sings everyday regardless.

5 WISHES FULLFILLED’s  FOUNDATIONS

1. Using your Imagination – Visualize what you want to have in life.

1. Imagination is more important than knowing. Albert Einstein
2. When the subconscious mind starts to chatter, imagine putting a Do not Disturb sign to stop the chatter so as not to
   interrupt the imagination.
3. Everything that we are enjoying now in life are all first imagined.

2. Living from the end. -  meaning, live as though the things which do not exist, is already present.

1. Disregard ANYTHING that denies fulfillment of your desire.
2. Must overlook your current situation and focus on the things you desire like it is already yours.

3.  Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled

1. Being positive is not enough. It is important to be true to yourself.
2. You must feel it and it should feel natural.  Let say, you want to become a famous actor. If you truly want it and it feels natural to you, when you believe it, it will be fulfilled.
3. You have to involve the emotion but it must be a positive emotion.
4. A change of feeling is a change of destiny. Neville
5. Ask what does it feel like to be your desire?
6. The subconscious mind responds to what you suggest to it. Habitual subconscious mind rules our life 97%.
7. Use I am ___________ rather than I will or I want.
8. There is a spiritual knowing in the “ I am “ and you feel it.

4.  Give it ATTENTION.
1.  2 kinds of attention – Subjective & Objective

        2. Subjective – when you choose how to think and therefore react while you are creating your desires.

        3. Objective – is a programmed information you have acquired by habit.

        4. Make this a rule “ Don’t complain, Don’t explain”

5. Now you lay me down to sleep.
1. The last 5 minutes before you head to sleep .
Review only what is positive and wonderful that happened during the day. Be thankful. Think of your dreams and desires

         happily ( like you already have it).

         2. The sub-conscious mind is open to suggestion and it is during the sleep that the mind is working on the  working on

          the suggestion ( which is an instruction) that will affect your days to come. Program the things you want in your mind

          during this time.  

And if it doesn’t work? It will not work when…
1.   Some people don’t want to commit in deprogramming their sub-conscious minds.
2.  If it doesn’t feel natural it’s not going to work.

           3. Lastly, if you feel Condemnation, Criticism, Judgment towards any of God’s children, it
will not help you manifest you dreams.
4. One must work from the ACT OF LOVE.

To me God is a loving God. He is not a difficult God. He is not one that punishes. Punishment is made up in our minds, affected by old beliefs from our past, other’s past. We please God by loving Him, praising Him and how do you praise Him? How do you make Him happy, I mean truly happy?

We think praying and going to church is enough. That’s only part of it. We do those things because we love Him. We  want to spend time with Him, talk to Him and not only because we are obligated to do so. We think we have to do our best to not offend Him. That’s not all true. We follow the 10 commandments and yet we live our lives miserably. Why is that? We have so much pain. We struggle to live, never mind experiencing the joy that I think we are meant to have from the day we are born. Is it because you believe that God did not mean to give that kind of life to you? That it is not in His plan? Did you sin and God is punishing you? Did you make a wrong decision? In my experience… for most people who are trying to live a good life and still suffering, NO. Did they make choices? Did they make the right choice? (their own and not influenced by others?) That is the question we need to really think about.

People want to change their lives. There is something that is not settling right. Their soul is resisting something. It may be that they hate their jobs. So they pray for God to change it, to give them another job, any job just so they can get out of where they are. These people don’t even know what they want but they know they need change. So they pray harder. Then they wait. While they wait they are getting down and depressed.  I can tell you that this scenario is not glorifying God at all.

He is not happy so see people suffer. He waits for us to GIVE IT TO HIM. When we give it to Him we need to TRUST that all the burdens were totally taken away from us already. We may pray at that time for let say, the job we would LOVE to have. At this point, we need to FOCUS on the LOVE. First, we need to love ourselves. We have to try to eliminate the things that remind us of what we don’t love. This is a slow process. Nobody can change that overnight. Because we now are conscious of what we LOVE, we are more inspired to be HAPPY.  When we think positive we are happy and loving about eveything and everyone, so we need to focus only the positive things in our lives despite of the current situation in our lives. I know it sounds unrealistic but this is where you make CHOICES. You may choose to be happy, kind, loving, patient, trusting or you may choose to live in your realistic world of pain.

What you don’t know is that, as you prayed for that dream job, God heard you. He is just happy to give it to you. He is already planning how to give it to you, how to put people together in your favour, how to switch people around so you can have that job you LOVE.  BUT… you choose to live your realistic world. You became desperate and you went back and asked for that job again, this time really beg. What most of us don’t realize is that God doesn’t operate from lack. What do I mean? We are blocking God’s grace to come to us. We are not aligned with God and our desires. Our God is Great, He is not small. He did not make us small. Each and every one of us were created with so much potential. He couldn’t create us smaller than Him. Remember, He created us in His image and likeness. Why do we have people like Steve Jobs? Do you think he is more special than you and I? Not at all. What made him special is that he used his greatest potential and did not let FEAR, the FEELING of LACK or any negative thinking to enter his mind. He COOPERATED with GOD by using his gifts, by allowing things to happen without blocking it by being fearful, doubtful, impatient , and GOD cooperated with him to make things happen. That’s how prayers are answered.

If we only allow God to do His work and TRUST Him, we will be in a place so unimaginable. Then and only then we will see the greatness of GOD. And when we do this, we please Him, we honour Him because we ALLOW for Him to manifest His own greatness through us. What do you think God feels when we are depressed and hurting? Do you really think He is happy because He knows we will go to Him and He will make things right. To me that’s a selfish God, and egotistical God and that’s not the God I know. Open your hearts to God’s Goodness. He expects us to be like Steve Jobs or just to have a dream job where you will be happy. Imagine if all people believe this, the world will be a better place. Each of us will be living the life with LOVE, FAITH, PEACE, CONTENTMENT AND ABUNDANCE. Then we will repeatedly pray our THANKS TO HIM.

As a working individual we all experience these situations in our work environment. Some of us are happy and successful, others are just getting by or hated going to work. Most of us have moved companies due to the desire to have more. More money, more power or stature, more of what was before. A lot of us too have transferred from one company to another in search of better work, better people to work with and work for, hoping to find a happier place to be.  Then there are times in our life that you work because you just have to, because you need to pay the bills, put food on the table, send the kids to school. It seems sometimes it’s not always enough. We never find contentment.

I was one of those people who had ambition. I wanted to be the best Interior Designer I could be. I planned every step of my career, starting from the bottom by being in sales ( and I didn’t like selling) working hard to finish schooling in North America, moving from one company to another carefully, so not to mess up the thread of experience I put in my resume. I had my ups and downs, from being promoted to handle two departments in one company, from achieving high sales, to being ignored or being done away with to keep another who was found disloyal. Success and being treated unfairly are part of being in a work force.

Today, I work for myself as everybody might consider. But to me, I have a boss. A Big Boss and I am an employee. I like my Boss and I like working for Him. He is a good boss. He gives me everything I need to do my job, He is a good advisor, a good financier, a good teacher. I listen to Him all the time. When I make mistakes, He is just quiet and let me figure it out by myself. I tell you, it’s a harder punishment when you realize your mistake. You can be so hard on yourself and so embarrassed, that you guarantee you will not make the same mistake again.

My new job is in conjunction with His work. I serve Him in my best ability always. I create the job description, I have no deadlines, I have a lot of learning and experiencing yet to do. But He is a patient employer. He evaluates the daily process of my work, my commitment to it and not the result. He already knows I will get there. He planned it that way. All I needed to do was figure out what I wanted to do and how I can help Him. Pretty neat huh? The rest is provided by Him, my housing, food and clothing allowance, my travels, my entertainment costs, and all the finances and the tools needed to do the work. When you ask Him for something you need at work, He always says YES!

Pretty AMAZING!

Do you want to work for my Boss. He is always looking for people, you know.

( After being away, i haven’t really completely recovered from jetlag. However, as I was putting away things, I had this thought, the idea of God being my boss. I waited for a while but it’s there in my head that I had to stop what I was doin…g. I deicded I better start writing this down. I was in quandry whether I shuld write or type. In typing, I always lose what to typed but strong feeling made me do just that and guess what…my hands just kept typing till the end. So here’s what inspiration gave me. )

We see her ambition and her dedication to almost everything
about school. Her number one ambition is to be a Student Council President on
her senior year.

That is three years away from now. Still a long way to go
but she already started working on this dream. In Grade 9 she made sure she
planted her seed by attending the meetings, volunteering and even befriending
the Grade 8s who were just coming to school. She has within her the confidence
on how to tackle her goals.

After bringing in an A in Science 10 last night, I reminded
her that whatever she sets her mind to, she can achieve. This is the summary of
my talk;

The only reason why people don’t get what they want is that
they put barriers in their minds. First, you have to be sure of the things you
want. Do you really want it? Then you have to believe that you will get it.
Some people want something and then along the way, they change their minds or
something made them change their minds on it. It could be their own fear or
other’s fear foisted upon them, unexpected situation,or a belief coming from
their pasts and so on and so forth. This becomes so real to them that they
convince themselves that maybe that dream is not for them.

I heard my daughter say sometimes. “ Oh, this person might
become the president because he is more popular. He attended more meetings than
me and his slogan is really good.”

I told her, that what she said were the barriers I was
talking about. One, she doubted getting her dream, secondly, she just
affirmed that he will win the position by saying all the things she said about
him. Thirdly this thinking becomes real to her. It became the proofs she needed
to convince herself why she may not be the president.

When you think this way, God cannot really freely move into
assisting you in fulfilling your wishes. He must see that you really want it.
Therefore, He wants you to prove it to Him why, by you saying instead, that you
are great for that position and will make sure to do everything to make that
happen. Only then will God opens opportunities for you to take to help you. If
you believe and relax when there are bumps along the way without compromising
your stand, that dream will come true.

Sometimes things don’t happen right away or don’t happen at
all because doubts enter our minds. This negative belief entering your head is
your ego and not your true self or the God in you. We know that we are all
created in the image and likeness of God. If this is so, we should know that we
can do anything possible. Our desires or dreams are manifested in conjunction
with God. God wants all of us to be happy always. If our desires are not met,
we are responsible for that not God. Eliminating doubt which is one of the
barriers is the first step.

How do we eliminate it? By not giving it too much power. It
is our ego’s overly protecting us from maybe getting hurt. You can listen to it
but not react or base your actions on it. We are given by God free will to
choose. You can choose to ignore it and to stay focus on your dream or choose
to believe that voice whispering to you why you cannot be your dream. We need
to learn to separate our ego ( that negative voice) from our true self ( that
inner voice or that God in you).

Always believe in yourself  and you’ll see that God is with you. Remember
He said “ ask and you shall receive”. He’s not lying.

If you believe in yourself, nothing is impossible and
nothing or nobody can stop you from attaining it. Not any situation. In facts
God will bring to you all the people, things and events to assist you. You just
need to believe.

Sometimes when we let our ego self does all the work we
struggle too much. Why is that?

The ego will not only contradict you it will also push you
to strive harder. Do you know that when you relax and remain faithful to
yourself, you will still get there? Regardless of any problems you encounter
along the way?

Sometimes people try to think positive but when things
doesn’t go the way they want, they started to listen to their ego giving them
the list why it did not go right instead of just accepting that, that’s the
case today. Tomorrow will be different. There’s no judgement, no excuses just
being in the moment of what is. This is the time when God gets the opportunity
to work with you. He’ll be able to because you did not doubt what you want to
be. This is when you’ll get an inspiration to solve that problem or maybe
you’ll meet somebody that could help you.

Sometimes people get there anyway but with a lot of
unhappiness that goes with it like stress. If we let go of struggles, things
will start to unfold. The ego tells you to do more and then you get frustrated,
worried, afraid and stressed. These states will hinder you from getting the
assistance from God right away. That’s why we get our dreams a lot longer than
we wanted.

Learn to relax, meditate for 2- 3 minutes (the gap) and
listen. This is the fastest way to getting your dreams. Being happy is a must.
Cheerfulness adds to the magic. Be light hearted, have fun along the way and
stop taking things so seriously. This is how you manifest your dreams and
create a charmed life.

PS

When I got back, my hubby asked me what did our daughter and
I talked about on the way to school. So I told him.

He paused for a while and said “you know, that reminds me of
Gord, my friend in high school.

He wanted to be the Head boy for the School Council in our
senior year. I asked him “when did you make this decision to run? I was surprised
when he answered since grade 9. I said “why?” His response was simply “ because
I want to and I know I’ll be good at it.” Some doubted how could he win the
popularity race for the position. He was a great kid but not overly well known
in the school. Bob seeing his dedication looked around the meeting of people
willing to work on this campaign and saw the
Star Quarterback of the football team, head cheerleader, the band
president, almost all the popular kids in school. They all saw the same thing
in Gord, and they made it happen for him.

This a perfect example that when you are sure of what you
want, and believing in your dreams, God will provide you with opportunities,
in Gord’s case the right people to support him.
