                                                            The Mirror

As we move forward and embrace the fact that it is our very own Thoughts and Feeling that create our very own realities, we can then realize that it is our very own Thoughts and Feelings that are responsible for our success and also our failures.

Henry Ford said;                                                                                                                           “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right”

The mirror is a powerful resource. It is like a loyal and honest friend.  It tells you the truth, it has no agenda, no reason to placate.  The mirror simply reflects back exactly what you are thinking and feeling!

We never want to look in the mirror and realize that the one looking back is the cause of any stress or anxiety.  We want to look in the mirror and see a person looking back that is calm, relaxed, strong and in Full Control.

Many famous and influential people utilize the mirror before any speaking engagement or meeting to lock in exactly how they want to present themselves.  They rehearse their speech in front of the mirror, tweaking and fine tuning it.  This exchange with the mirror gives them unquestionable confidence, allowing them to deliver a powerful speech and/or meeting.

Try this exercise to understand not only what a powerful resource your mirror is, but also how quickly you can become in Full Control.

Think of something that you are going to have to do in the future that you are not looking forward to, and that when you think of it, causes you anxiety.  Really allow yourself to feel that anxiety as you are thinking about this future event.

Now stand in front of the mirror… notice what you see… notice your facial expression, your body posture, the energy being reflected back to you.

Now step away from the mirror.  Take a deep breath in and slowly release.  Forget about that future event and focus now on something you enjoy, something or someone that every time you think of it it makes you smile, it brings a warm wonderful feeling from deep inside.  Now really allow yourself to feel that wonderful feeling, feel that smile flowing from deep inside and now lighting up your face. 

Now stand in front of the mirror again… notice what you see… notice your facial expression, your body posture, the energy being reflected back to you.

As you continue to stand in front of the mirror, acknowledge the person looking back at you with wonderful positive energy, full of confidence. Now think about that future event, as you continue to see this powerful confident person.  Notice what you see… notice your facial expression, your body posture, the energy being reflected back to you.  Notice how that future event is different now, how you are already thinking of ways to relax with it, to be calm, to be in Full Control.  Now step away and continue to hold on to that feeling and acknowledge yourself for what you are able to achieve!

Remember this, Light always dissolves darkness. Positive energy will always dissolve negative energy. What we forget in the hustle and bustle of daily life is that we always have a choice. Always!

It is simply about Trusting and Believing in ourselves.  Looking in the mirror and if we do not like what is being reflected back, stepping away, taking a deep breath in, slowly releasing, feeling yourself relax, and allowing unconditional love, courage, and confidence to flow throughout your body.  Then step back in front of the mirror, and see the Amazing person looking back.

Dedicate the Month of July to utilize the Mirror to Empower yourself!

                                                             I Choose

 

Words are a Powerful tool.  Most of the time we pay no attention to what it is we are saying, the impact it has on our lives, and how it in turn structures our reality.

The way we use words without even realizing it can zap our motivation. When we start out by saying things like:                                                                                                                                   I have to . . .                                                                                                                                               I should . . .                                                                                                                                              I got to . . .                                                                                                                                               I need to . . .                                                                                                                                           We are usually coming from a place of stress or guilt, which then keeps us stuck.  It pulls us down…,  shutting off all inspiration, motivation, and possibility.                                                            I should….  but….                                                                                                                                     I need to…. but...                                                                                                                                           I want to…. but...                                                                                                                                    and the “buts” keep flowing, giving us justifications of why we “can’t”.

One word alone that has a tremendous amount of power is the word “Choose”.

If we replace all the…                                                                                                                                 I have to’s…                                                                                                                                                 I should’s…                                                                                                                                                 I got to’s…                                                                                                                                                  I need to’s…                                                                                                                                           with, “I Choose” to…, all the “buts” fall away.  By saying “I Choose”,                                                 we automatically take responsibility and become open, allowing ideas to flow to us in ways that have been blocked before.

I Choose, Motivates us.                                                                                                                             I Choose, Empowers us.                                                                                                                          I Choose, opens up the doors to possibilities, giving us the Inspiration to move forward.

Simply replacing the I Should’s - I Want’s - I Need’s . . . to, “I Choose” is Empowering!

Dedicate the Month of June to pay attention to your Words and “Choose” to be in Full Control.

Smile,                                                                                                                                               Wade

April /May 2017

                                                                  Purpose

Nothing can be more Empowering than to have a Purpose, and Nothing can feel more hopeless than to think that we do not have a Purpose;  or not knowing what our Purpose is.

In Eric Greiten's book, Resilience, he writes;                                                                                  "When I was twenty, I lived and worked in a Bosnian refugee camp.  All the refugees had seen brutality and destruction.  They had lost everything they ever owned.  Many had lost friends and family.  And now they were trapped in a camp, living in shacks, feeding on bread and rumors.  Everyone suffered."                                                                                                                                   

"I was struck by one thing.  It seemed that the people who were doing best in the camp were often the parents and grandparents of very young children.  They knew that they had to wake up every day and be strong for someone else.  The people who had the hardest time were the young adults and older teenagers.  They felt that their lives had been cut short.  They woke up everyday with no prospects for a job or for school. "                                                                                                                                          "The war had made them aimless, and aimlessness hurts.  The teenagers who were doing the best were often those who found something else to do.  They volunteered in the kindergarten or coached the younger kids as they played soccer.  The people who did the best in other words, found a way to live for something at a time when a lot of people around them didn't know why they were alive at all."

The people Eric witnessed doing the best were the ones that knew they had a Purpose.  It’s not that the ones he witnessed struggling did not have a Purpose, they did.  We all do…, but sometimes we get lost and forget.

Purposes come in many shapes and sizes.  Some may seem very big:                                             "My Purpose is to stop world hunger"                                                                                           Some may seem small:                                                                                                                       "My Purpose is to smile at a stranger today"                                                                                Some may take time to complete, and others only seconds.                                                          Some may take a lot of effort, while others may be effortless.

Big or small, every Purpose we set has tremendous power.  What is important, is to Believe in ourselves enough to set a Purpose.  We must believe we are important and that we can make a difference no matter how big or small it may seem.

As you begin to consciously dedicate yourself to set a Purpose, you will find that other Purposes will crop up.  Before you know it, you will be flowing through a Purposeful and Powerful life!

Having a Purpose is the spark that inspires us to get up each day to better ourselves and to improve the life around us.

Dedicate the Month of April to wake up each day . . . on Purpose!

Smile,                                                                                                                                                 Wade

March 2017

                                      Thrive or Blame which will you . . . Choose?

 

Recently, I’ve noticed a trend in society’s current state of affairs.  It seems that instead of taking personal responsibility, many people are playing the “Victim” and the “Blame Game”.  They are trying to convince themselves, and others, that it is not their fault…, that they do not have any control over what is happening around them.  By choosing to be a Victim, they are giving away their Power.  Blaming everyone and everything except themselves can drown out any inherent Trust and Belief they possess within.  

Concerning ourselves with the beliefs of others can also aid us in justifying our Victimhood.  Take for example a large organized event or movement.  It feels good to organize or be part of a big event.  So much so, that we can allow ourselves to feel that by getting “involved” with something outside ourselves, that we are taking responsibility.  It’s easy to get swept up in the group’s common cause and forget about our own individual beliefs, leading to a sort of “mob mentality” about certain topics.  This, in turn, leads us to blame the “opposing group” for the problems we’re facing.  

There will always be causes and battles, that we can be a part of, that will assist us in blaming others to justify our Victimhood.  This group justification can become very big, and the bigger it gets, the more it will distract us from the fact that the Power always has and always will come from within.                                                                                                                                      

We will always be able to find something or someone to blame…,  it is actually very easy.          

Until we change from within, acknowledging our own Power…,                                                     Until we separate ourselves from the group dynamic…,                                                                  Until we take responsibility for our own lives…,                                                                              Until we Trust and Believe in Ourselves…,                                                                                           We will never Thrive!

This Trust and Belief in ourselves is critical to maintaining our Power.  It is ok to organize or be part of a big event to bring awareness to a topic you feel strongly about.  Yet, if you let yourself become engulfed in a movement without evaluating your true reasons for being there, you give away your Power, and continue to play the Victim and the Blame Game.  The Power, exemplified by people like Dr. Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Gandhi, and Abraham Lincoln, came from within and was not the result of the beliefs of others.  It was their Trust and Belief in themselves that drew others to their cause.   

No matter what Gender or Race we are,                                                                                          Now more than ever, if we Choose to, We Can Thrive!                                                                         It takes hard work and dedication, but there is proof all around us of people from every gender and race Thriving!

No matter what Gender or Race we are,                                                                                          Now more than ever, if we Choose to, we can Blame others for not Thriving!                            Oddly, it takes just as much hard work and dedication, but there is also proof all around us of people from every gender and race Blaming!

Thriving and Blaming are like Oil and Water.  Both are very real, but they cannot be combined, they repel one another.                                                                                                                  Blaming is Giving up on Yourself, making excuses of why you can’t, trying to justify that it is not your fault.                                                                                                                                       Thriving is Trusting and Believing in Yourself, giving you the Power to Be in Control and accomplish anything you Choose to.

Think of the concepts of Thriving and Blaming as two very Powerful Rivers;  always flowing through life’s journey.                                                                                                                   Both Rivers are very crowded with people, both Rivers have many others to “Be” with and feel supported in!

The one on the left is the River called Blame.                                                                                  The one on the right is the River called Thrive.

For every Person that has Chosen the River of Blame to Repress them…,                                    There are other People that have Chosen the River of Thrive to Empower them, Believing in themselves and making this world a better place! 

When you Trust and Believe in Yourself, you become Empowered, and no one or nothing outside yourself can Stop You!

Dedicate the Month of March to Believe in Yourself . . . and Thrive

Smile,                                                                                                                                              Wade

                       Entering the Kingdom of Heaven through the mind of a child

 

No matter what religion you are, there is a great lesson to be learned from the bible when Jesus said,  “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

We are born with innocence, life being our vey own open canvas, ready to learn and grow.  As children, our imagination is pure, unrestricted, and abundant.  We engage and share our imagination with adults and they in turn support us, and for a moment get lost in our colorful imaginations.

Then something happens…, something changes…;  our innocence and imagination is taken from us by the very people who at one time supported us.  It’s not intentional, it is simply a repetition ofwhat happened to them as they became Adults.  We are told wenow have to grow up, we have to be “Realistic”.  Life is hard and we have to be responsible. 

We then repress our imagination, we become “responsible Adults”, we work hard and for the most part we lose our innocence, we lose our “spark”.  

It does not have to be one or the other, we can have them both.  We can be Adults and child-like, with an unrestricted imagination.  It is called “Balance”.  If we focus completely on being an “Adult”, we will be out of balance and weak.  If we focus completely with ourimagination we will be out of balance and weak.  Balance is the key to life, it is the ebb and flow, the yin and yang.  It is the dance of living life to its fullest.  Having Balance is having Strength. 

Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge”

Knowledge and Imagination are meant to work together.  There is no other combination that is more Powerful.

Knowledge is what we gain as we grow and take responsibility for our life.  Imagination is the critical link to turn our knowledge into something magical.                                                               Nothing exists that was not first Imagined…, Nothing!                                                                    We dream it, we Imagine it and then we gain the knowledge to create it.

Imagination inspires us - Imagination drives us - Imagination keeps us young!

Dedicate the Month of February to “Change” or better, to “re-engage” with the child that lies within you.  Commit to re-engage with your Imagination.  Allow it to flow pure, unrestricted, abundantly, and Re-Ignite your Spark!

Smile,                                                                                                                                               Wade

December 2016 / January 2017

                                                Moving Away or Towards

During the expansion of the United States there was a mass calling to move west. Some thrived but many did not.  What was the difference?  Why did some thrive and many others struggle, leaving one bad situation only to enter into another one?

The answer can be summed up in one word . . . “Focus”.                                                                The ones that thrived were the ones that focused on moving towards Prosperity.                          The ones who did not were focused on moving away from Poverty.

By moving towards Prosperity, the focus was on Prosperity and they found it.                                  By moving away from Poverty, the focus was on Poverty and they found more of the same. They attracted more of what they were moving away from.

The Power is in the Focus…                                                                                                            Focus on the “Get to’s”…..  not the “Got to’s”.                                                                               Focus on the “Want to’s”…. not the “Have to’s”.

There is a line in the movie, The Magnificent 7, that was, well… Magnificent!  The main character, Sam, has gathered 6 other people to take back a town that has been overrun and controlled by thieves.  He is sitting with his friend, (one of the 7), the night before they are going to take back the town.  His friend knows Sam’s past history and a vendetta he has for one of the thieves.  The friend asks Sam why he is doing this.  Sam says because the town’s people needs us. His friend’s response was powerful.  He said,

                   “Just making sure we’re fighting a battle in front of us, not behind us”

 

Pay Attention to what you are Paying attention to. Be sure you are Moving Towards, not Away From your goals!                                                                                                                                Ask yourself….,                                                                                                                                     “Am I moving away from;  Poverty - Disease - Struggle and Hardship.”                                            or                                                                                                                                                           “Am I moving towards;  Prosperity - Health - Challenges and Happiness.”

This is an extremely important distinction to understand and to always be aware of:                     Away from is a Fear based energy.                                                                                              Towards is an Empowerment based energy.

It is important to “know” what we “don’t want,” that is how we use the past to learn and grow.  But to succeed, we must be sure our“Focus” is on what we “Do want.”

Dedicate the Month of December and January to Focus your Thoughts and Feelings Towards what you want, and the future that you desire!

Are you moving Away from 2016 or Towards 2017?

Smile,                                                                                                                                                 Wade

                                                          The Art of Listening

As we get more and more technologically advanced, we are becoming more and more impatient.  Everything has to happen “now”.  With so many different methods of communication,  we are unfortunately becoming less deeply connected.  We are actually becoming less focused on the people around us.

We are pulled in so many directions ;                                                                                                We have FaceBook - Twitter - Tumbler - Flickr - Google+ - Reddit - Vine - YouTube - Askfm - VK - Whatsapp - Messenger - WeChat - Snapchat - Pinterest - Linkedin - Instagram…   We are posting - blogging - texting - emailing, not to mention phone calls and the old fashion snail mail.  

The combination of our increasing impatience, and being run ragged through all the various ways of communicating has led us tonot truly “hear” what people are saying;  we are too busy “replying”.  Our attention is distracted and we end up missing the most important part of communication…;  “Listening”.

Click on this link for a quick video that gives us a humorus perspective on Listening.    https://youtu.be/-4EDhdAHrOg

How many times have you shared something and felt as if the person you shared with did not “hear” you…?  They were not “Listening” to you.  Maybe they were focused on something else (such as the “nail”).  

How many times has someone shared something with you and you were not completely “present” with them?  You were trying to quickly fix their problem (like the man in the video) when all that they wanted and/or needed was to be heard…, to have someone listen to them.  

In this fast-paced age we live in, the superficial “quick fix” is becoming the norm.  We feel compelled to offer a hasty solution so we can move on to the next topic.  However, through this process, we are effectively losing the Art of Listening.

Be sure that when someone shares something with you, they feel heard.   Refrain from the offer of a “quick fix” until they have had a chance to express their feelings (and most importantly have asked for suggestions), because most of the time we are just wanting to express ourselves, not looking to get or be “fixed”                                                                                                                                 It is simple, yet more challenging now then ever. 

Dedicate the Month of November,  to strengthen your relationships through the Art of Listening.  Slow down…, Be Present…, and “Listen”.

Remember, “It’s not about the nail”.

Smile,                                                                                                                                           Wade

                                                               "How"

What we think and how we feel, will set us up to attract a matching reality.  Sometimes we can get stuck with negative thoughts and feelings, which then creates negative situations.  “How” do we shift out of these negative thoughts and feelings?  The answer is in the . . . “How.”

We are constantly asking ourselves questions through our thoughts, some questions are focused on possibilities, while others are focused on problems.  A lot of times when we are stuck, we just keep focusing on what we did or didn’t do to create the situation, or what we are not doing that we should be doing to start or complete a goal.

There is a type of question to ask that is simple yet extremely Powerful.  Questions that begin with, “How”….  “How” questions are the most Empowering questions we can ask ourselves. “How” questions bypass our conscious mind and directly stimulate our subconscious minds, opening up the door to unlimited possibilities, resources, answers, and our highest potentials.

* How am I going to . . . (get in shape? - stop smoking? - exercise more?)                                          * How did I allow . . . (myself to get angry? - him/her to pull me down or lift me up?)                       * How can I . . . (become organized? - calm? - relaxed? - patient?)                                                     * How will I . . .  (finish the project? - complete my goal? - reach out to others? - make today       great?)

* How did I accomplish . . .?                                                                                                           Answering this type of “How” question will give us clarity and assist us in acknowledging our accomplishments, which will in turn build our Confidence.

Be sure your “How” questions are focusing on what you want, not what you don’t want.  This will assist you in moving forward and guide you to create a positive and productive reality for yourself.  

This month create a “How” question and write it in Long Hand, on a 3 x 5 card.  Keep it with you and watch “How” resources that you already possess flow up from your subconscious, opening up incredible solutions and possibilities.

 

Dedicate the Month of September to Step into and Own your Greatness by asking “How.”

                                                               Life is a Mirror

Life is a Mirror, not only reflecting back to us who we are  but also reflecting back to us different situations to help us choose what we want.

A friend mentioned to me how pan-handlers really bother him.  We had a powerful conversation on Beliefs and how we cannot see something in someone else that we do not already possess within ourselves.  Two people who know the same person can see him/her completely differently.  One may see a very negative and irritating individual.  The other one may see a very positive and loving individual.

Which one is correct?  They both are, because they are just seeing themselves through that person.  Life always mirrors back to us who we are, the good, the bad, or the challenging. 

Instead of allowing the trigger of the “pan-handler” or anyone else to bother or irritate you, simply use that trigger to first Forgive yourself, and then to send that person Peace, Prosperity, and Bliss.

He also shared with me that he currently knows two couples that have both retired.  One couple has a trailer at the beach and just sits all day watching old concerts and movies, not really doing anything at all.  The other couple is always out and traveling the world, seeing amazing things, and having wonderful adventures.  The first couple he felt is throwing their life away, and he has lost some respect for them.  The other couple he felt is doing everything “ right” and admires them.

I believe that life does not just mirror back to us who we are, but we also attract situations and events that are mirrored back to us to help us decide what we really want.   

Treating life as a mirror will help us to see life in a much more powerful way.  It will help us to stop judging other people and situations which ultimately results in the judgement and punishment of ourselves.

Seeing life as a mirror will give us compassion…, without judgement…,  for the “pan-handler”, and ourselves.

Seeing life as a mirror will give us perspective…, without judgement…,  on how we want to live life;  “Relaxed”  - “Adventurous” - or something in between.

Dedicate the Month of August to become Empowered by seeing life as a Mirror Reflecting back our True Selves and Possibilities

                                                   Living from the Inside Out

It can be easy and seemingly natural to live from the “Outside In”, allowing circumstances and events “Outside” of ourselves to dictate how we feel.  Unfortunately, this is the exact opposite of how to be in control of our lives.  If we live life from the “Outside In”,   we have no control.  We then use excuses from “Outside” events and circumstances to justify why we are feeling sad, mad, overwhelmed, or stressed out.   

“Outside” events and circumstances will even justify why we are feeling happy or content, yet we must realize that we are still being controlled by whatever may be happening “Out There.”  

We become Empowered by living from the “Inside Out”.  

Developing an understanding and realization that we do create our own realities, (our own “Outside” events and circumstances), is accomplished by taking the responsibility of becoming aware of our own Thoughts, and most importantly, Feelings!  It is our true Thoughts and Feelings from “Inside” ourselves that then create our “Outside” realities. 

Often times when we set up a goal to create, quit, or improve something;  we do it for someone else.  We do it for:                                                                                                                                        our spouse, our kids, our parents, our friends, or …whoever. It is ok to set a goal and have a portion of our motivation be dedicated to someone or something outside ourselves, but the foundation has to be set from the “Inside”;  from within us!

If we live from the “Outside In”, we give away our power and become dependent on what other people think and feel.  Our actions may be well intentioned, yet they will continue to be dictated by the thoughts and feelings of others.  We will just keep spinning in endless circles, like a dog chasing his tail, and will never accomplish our goals.  Once we develop the understanding that negative people, events, and situations “Outside” ourselves can only affect us if we allow them to, those negative people, events, and situations will then lose their grip on us.

Living from the “Inside Out”, is the most important element in being successful at anything we do.  It prompts us to be aware of our Thoughts and Feelings, and understand that they create our “Outside” realities.  Living from the “Inside Out” is about acknowledging that we are Worthy.  It is about Respecting ourselves, Trusting ourselves, and Believing in ourselves.  When we do this, we then open ourselves up to feeling an incredible connection in knowing that we are a part of…, not separate from…, something greater than ourselves.

When you want to create something, quit something, or improve something;  do it for yourself, “Inside Out” first!  By living from the “Inside Out”, you will not only Empower yourself, you will be an even more Powerful Resource to everyone around you.  An Authentic Powerful Resource!

Dedicate the Month of July to become Empowered by Living from the Inside Out!!

                                          Worrying…, there is a better way

 

“Worrying”…, especially when we “worry” about someone or something, creates a “lose - lose” energy.  Not only will we be attracting the negative energy of worry, but we will also be sending that negative energy to the one we are worrying about.

We may think that by “worrying” about someone, it is showing that we care about them and are helping.  What we don’t realize is that we are sending them the negative energy induced by worry, and there is a great possibility that they are now worrying about something they weren’t before, or worrying more about a challenge they are facing.

We are all connected in more ways than we realize. If or when you get a feeling of worry about someone in your life, use that feeling to then send them Positive Energy.  Instead of continuing to worry about them, Feel them being Healthy, Happy, and Whole!  

It is also very important to do this for ourselves.  Use the trigger of worry as a signal that you are drifting off course and need to make shift.  Then, instead of going deeper into a negative energy and closing doors, simply breath deeply and allow positive energy to flow through you. This will then allow doors to open, giving you the answers and strength to move forward in a Powerful way.

Dedicate the Month of June to being aware of negative energy, especially “worry”.  You can then use thatawareness as a Powerful guide to make a shift, creating True Transformations and the ability to be in Full Control.

Smile,                                                                                                                                              Wade

                                    The Power in our Words, Thoughts, & Feelings.

 

We can talk about what we want (or do not want), but if we are not Feeling it, it will not happen.  It is our Thoughts and Feelings that create our reality, not what we say.  When our words do match our Thoughts and Feelings, it locks it all in.  We become Empowered when we realize that what we are locking in can either be negative or positive.  

One of the greatest rewards of offering people the tools to become Empowered is witnessing the amazing Transformation that takes place from our initial session to our closing session.  We don’t know what we don’t know, and we often don’t realize how powerful we are.  What we Think about, Feel, and Say really does create our reality.  

At the beginning of our sessions, I hear people talking about a variety of challenges that cause them feelings of stress, frustration, anxiety, anger, and more.  As they continue to talk, I can feel their energy match what they are saying.  When they begin to receive tools to assist them in building their awareness, they start to pay attention to what they are saying…, what they are thinking…, and most importantly…, how they are feeling.  It is then that a beautiful shift begins to emerge. 

Dedicate the Month of May to paying attention to what you are paying attention to.  Be sure your Words, Thoughts, and Feelings are in alignment what you really want.

Using Curiosity to break a Habit

There is a way to gain more control over our habits and other things that we seem to “mindlessly” do.  These seemingly “mindless” reactions to certain situations are in fact a developed behavior that can be altered through awareness. 

We train ourselves to do what we do by repeating a pattern several times until we build an “unconscious competence” with it. Most of our “unconscious competence” is established by Default. Making a choice to become Aware and live on Purpose instead of by Default allows us to reshape our “unconscious competence” of bad habits that we seem to have no control over.  This enables us to be in Full Control of our decisions. 

Our conscious and unconscious minds are always working together whether it is by Default or on Purpose.

For example:

We see cake ...  we eat cake ... we feel good … we repeat.

It becomes unconscious competence,

and …, we can get out of shape.

or:

We see cigarettes... we smoke cigarettes ... we relax ... we repeat.

It becomes unconscious competence, 

and …, we poison our body. 

There is always a pattern:

We see the cake ... which triggers an emotion in our bodies, (pleasure), that we have built an unconscious competence with. 

We then eat the cake ... "mindlessly”.  

We can use Awareness to help break a bad habit by being “Curious” about the causes and effects of our actions.  The next time you see the cake;  become “Curious” before you react. Pause for a minute, consciously assess the “urge” you are feeling.  Get “Curious” about how you would feel if you didn’t eat the cake, or if you ate something else instead;  and how you would feel if you do decide to go ahead and eat the cake.  

By pausing and being curious, you have now made the distinction of controlling the habit, and not being controlled by the habit. Repeat this process every time you encounter a habit you want to change.  

By living on Purpose and becoming Aware, you will now be able to Pause for a second instead of reacting. This will allow you to become “Curious” about your actions, and then be able to Choose what you really want to do.  

Dedicate the Month of April to become “Curious” and Empowered!

 Smile,                                                                                                                                           Wade

March 2016

The Last 4 months I broke down each of the 4 keys in “TRIC”.  Below I have them all together.

                                     Four Keys To Build your Awareness and Success                  

                                                                        (TRIC)

Key# 1)   Truthfulness:

     Truthfulness is about taking the blinders off and being honest about where you are in your life, how you got there, and how you're feeling about it.  It's about taking a look at and acknowledging that you might need to change certain things about yourself and your life, and most importantly, why you should want to. Being truthful with yourself will allow you to become aware of why you do the things that you do, and if you really want to, or need to change.  Being truthful gives you the power to be in Full Control.

Key# 2)   Responsibility:

     It's important to take responsibility for where you are in your life, and to take responsibility for your actions and reactions to any circumstances that you may encounter.  Knowing that you have choices, and being open to different possibilities, will remind you not to focus the blame on any particular person or event.  Take responsibility and be patient with yourself, by taking 2 Steps Forward, each and every day to get to where you want to be emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Key# 3)   Inner Strength:

     There will be challenges that lie ahead, and not everything is always going to be easy, but you will get through it with Inner Strength, perseverance, and determination.  It will require an understanding on your part . . ., a Trust and Belief that you can meet the difficulties and challenges that lie ahead.  Overcoming challenges will increase your self-esteem and motivation, strengthening the Trust and Belief you will be building within Yourself.  Through Hypnosis you will establish a Powerful Communication that will resonate directly with your Subconscious, creating Harmony and a Rapport with your entire being.  Acknowledging your Inner Strength will allow you to Step into and Own your Greatness 

Key# 4)   Commitment:

     We are all committed to things that are important to us in our lives - family, loved ones, friends, jobs, relationships, and hobbies.  Now is the time to commit to yourself!   Make yourself just as important as you do to the family, friends, jobs, and hobbies.  Make a commitment to yourself, whatever that commitment may be, and take it seriously.  It’s important and you deserve it!  This is your life, that you get to create any way you want.  Building a Powerful Trust and Belief in yourself will Empower you to stay committed to your Dreams and Goals, causing them to metamorphose into Reality.       

It’s about building awareness . . .

Going to a place inside yourself . . .

Acknowledging yourself . . .

Trusting and Believing in yourself . . .

Stepping into your Greatness . . . 

and most importantly . . .

Being in Full Control!      

T.R.I.C.  = Truthfulness - Responsibility - Inner Strength - Commitment

Truthfulness = You are being Truthful, developing a Powerful Trust and Belief in Yourself, allowing you to be in Full Control.  

Responsibility = You are taking Full Responsibility to build and create your Reality.  2 Steps Forward, each and every day.

Inner Strength = You are Driven, Motivated and Inspired to be your Very Best;  Stepping into and Owning your Greatness.

Commitment = You have “Ignited Your Inner Torch” By making a commitment to the most important person…….  YOU!!!  

Anytime you encounter a struggle with something, you may find that one or more of the key components of T.R.I.C. 

are missing. It could be that;

1) You are not being Truthful with yourself in what you are trying to do…,

2) You are not taking Responsibility for what it is you are trying to do, or needing to change…,

3) You are not Trusting and Believing in yourself and the Power of your Inner Strength…,

     or, 

4) You have not made a Commitment to yourself to see your Goals and Dreams become Reality.  

When you find yourself struggling with a problem, take a moment to evaluate which one or more of the 4 keys are missing.

Your “Inner Torch” will be “Ignited” once T.R.I.C. is complete and you will discover the power of being in Full Control.

Dedicate the Month of March to becoming Aware and Successful by using the “TRIC”!

February 2016

Truthfulness - Responsibility - Inner Strength - Commitment = “TRIC”

 

“TRIC” gives you the keys to create Awareness and Success. 

 

In November I covered the “T” in the “TRIC” process, December, the “R”, January, the “I”, and this month I will cover the “C”. 
 

Key# 4)   Committment:

   We are all committed to things that are important to us in our lives - family, loved ones, friends, jobs, relationships, and hobbies. Now is the time to commit to yourself! Make yourself just as important as you do to the family, friends, jobs, and hobbies.
  
   Make a commitment to yourself, whatever that commitment may be, and take it seriously. It’s important and you deserve it! This is your life, that you get to create any way you want. Building a Powerful Trust and Belief in yourself will Empower you to stay committed to your Dreams and Goals, causing them to metamorphose into Reality.

    The fourth and final key, “Commitment”, is very important. As we move towards our Dreams and Goals, we will always come across obstacles and setbacks. If we do not stay committed, these obstacles and setbacks may become overwhelming, causing us to give up.

    When we Trust and Believe in ourselves, we will buckle down when hardships occur, allowing us to stay committed and accomplish anything we want!

Commitment = You have “Ignited Your Inner Torch” by making a commitment to the most important person……. YOU!!! Dedicate the Month of February to making a Commitment to build a Powerful Trust and Belief in yourself! Each night before you go to bed, and First thing each Morning, say to yourself 10 times:

 “I Trust and Believe in Myself”

Wade

January 2016

Truthfulness - Responsibility - Inner Strength - Commitment = “TRIC”

 

“TRIC” gives you the keys to create Awareness and Success. 

 

In November, I covered the “T” in the “TRIC” process.  In December, the “R”.  This month I will cover the “I”. 
 

Key# 3)   Inner Strength:

     There will be challenges that lie ahead, and not everything is always going to be easy, but you will get through it with Inner Strength, perseverance, and determination.  It will require an understanding on your part . . ., a Trust and Belief that you can meet the difficulties and challenges that lie ahead.  Overcoming challenges will increase your self-esteem and motivation, strengthening the Trust and Belief you will be building within Yourself.  


Through Hypnosis you will establish a Powerful Communication that will resonate directly with your Subconscious, creating Harmony and a Rapport with your entire being.  Acknowledging your Inner Strength will allow you to build a Solid Foundation that will Empower you.  
 

The third key, “Inner Strength” allows you to become Empowered, giving you the confidence to accomplish anything you set out to do.  


Inner Strength: You are Driven, Motivated, and Inspired to be your Very Best. Stepping into and Owning your Greatness


Dedicate the Month of January to Empower yourself by acknowledging your very own Inner Strength.

December 2015

In November, I covered the T in the “TRIC” process; a process to enable you to create Awareness and Success. This month I will cover the second key element; R, (“Responsibility”). 

Truthfulness - Responsibility - Inner Strength - Commitment = “TRIC”

Key# 2) Responsibility:
   It's important to take responsibility for where you are in your life, and to take responsibility for your actions and reactions to any circumstances that you may encounter. Knowing that you have choices, and being open to different possibilities, will remind you not to focus blame on any particular person or event. Take responsibility and be patient with yourself. Start taking 2 Steps Forward, each and every day to get to where you want to be emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

   The second key, “Responsibility”, gives you the ability to be in Full Control. This is a Powerful key that places you in the driver’s seat or your life.

   Going through life making excuses to try and justify how you are, why you react a certain way, or blame everyone and everything, is like being a tumbleweed getting tossed around whichever way the wind blows. Having no control in this respect is ultimately giving away your Power.

   When you take the Responsibility for your life, your actions and reactions, what you have created and will create; you stop the blame game and you stop giving away your Power!

   Responsibility: You are taking Full Responsibility to build and create your Reality. 2 Steps Forward, each and every day. 

   Dedicate the Month of December to taking Responsibility for what You have created, and what You will create. Give yourself the Power to be in Full Control.

Smile,
Wade

November 2015

For the last 2 months of 2015 and the first 2 months in 2016 I will go about breaking down a process I call “TRIC” which will enable you to create Awareness and Success. There are 4 key elements in the “TRIC” to build your Awareness and Success These 4 keys can be utilized to unlock your True Potential to accomplish your goals: 

Truthfulness - Responsibility - Inner Strength - Commitment = “TRIC”

Key# 1) Truthfulness:
   Truthfulness is about taking the blinders off and being honest about where you are in your life, how you got there, and how you're feeling about it. It's about taking a look at and acknowledging that you might need to change certain things about yourself and your life, and most importantly, why you should want to. Being truthful with yourself will allow you to become aware of why you do the things that you do, and if you really want to, or need to change. Being truthful gives you the power to be in Full Control.

   The first key, “Truthfulness”, is very important, (as each key element is). If you are working on changing or setting a goal, you have to be Truthful with yourself about the reasons why. If you Truly want to improve yourself or accomplish a chosen goal, then you should, and will by following the next 3 Keys.

   If you Truly don’t want to accomplish a chosen goal or don’t feel the need to change a certain aspect of yourself, then you should not pursue it. Only doing it because someone else wants you to, or because you’ve heard it is the "Right" thing to do, is potentially setting yourself up for failure.

   Most important is your ability to be Truthful and in touch with yourself.. Only you will know how you feel, and only you can make the choice of which path to take. As you Trust and Believe in Yourself, you will discover that you are taking the correct path.

Truthfulness: You are being Truthful, developing a Powerful Trust and Belief in Yourself allowing you to be in Full Control

Dedicate the Month of November to being Truthful with yourself and becoming Empowered.

Wade

October 2015

Love vs Anger is our Choice

 

There is no right or wrong with how we choose to be, it is our own personal path. We can choose to respond to life with Love, Peace, Harmony, and Understanding. And we can choose to respond to life with Anger, Frustration, Hate, and Resentment.

What is important to know, is that we always have a choice. The Key is to then pay attention and be fully aware of how we are choosing to respond.

We may choose Anger, because we think it makes us feel better… Allowing us to "Vent.” Venting from Anger restricts us, and shuts down all our rational thoughts. Venting from Love opens us up, and Empowers us!

We may also choose Anger because we feel Love is weak. Choosing Love is not choosing to be weak, it is choosing to not allow people to walk all over us.

From Love we can still establish our boundaries, and hold our ground. Love is Strength!

Believing that we always have a choice and then being aware of how we choose to respond to our daily events allows us to be in Full Control!

Dedicate the Month of October to become Empowered by paying attention to how we are Choosing to respond.

Smile,
Wade
