Figuring Ourselves Out.

 

You may get many different opinions from experts. They’ll tell you everything from when to get up, when to go to sleep, what to eat, what kind of cosmetics to use, and the best exercise to take part in. And then you will listen to another expert, and they will tell you the complete opposite.

Many years ago, my father told me that while playing golf with a renowned physician, he learned that many times it is very difficult for doctors to be absolutely certain of what is wrong with a patient. This is because two people can have the same exact symptoms, and yet for very different reasons.

So what do you do? Listen to your own cycles. As human beings, we are very similar, yet we are all designed to be unique. When we use our intuition and document in order to recognize patterns, we become aware.

In my video, I share what I do to get a big picture sense of what is and isn’t working for me. I document everything to give me insight. This allows me to live in a way that gives me energy aligned with who I really am. Conversely, it gives me awareness if my energy is being consistently drained by certain people, places and activities. If you choose to do this, you will see things that may surprise you. This is partly because we are conditioned at a very young age by our upbringing, environment, and the will of others.

You will see if you are at your best when you go to sleep late and take your time getting on with your day, or winding down early and waking up with the sun. How you feel after you participate in team sport, or with individual exercise. Are you invigorated by art or music? Do you get a jolt from crime stories? Most importantly, what is your emotional state after spending time with specific people?

This awareness is to recognize, honor and live the life most aligned with you to be at your best.

This process is extremely helpful to learn your own rhythms, and to also give others the space they need to recognize and live by theirs.

Holding Grudges, Hurting Ourselves.

 

We’ve all been there…betrayed, disappointed and at times, shocked by someone else’s behavior.

We want to nurse our wounds, and NEVER FORGET, but the cost to us is pretty significant. As human spiritual beings, living in the physical world, the longer we hold the hateful energy in our heart, we are blocked. When we hold so much resentment, there is less room in our hearts for love, light and growth.

Not hating on someone and holding grudges is way different than setting boundaries, which I believe in. I think it is intelligent and necessary to do so. We have to learn from others what they will give us, and be smart in protecting ourselves.

But when we continually hate on someone, be it a co-worker, an ex or a neighbor, we are hating on ourselves.

Why?

It creates walls that can’t be taken down. A cold heart wants a fight, and it takes a lot of energy to keep the promise to ourselves “to remember.”

Once we let go, and let live, we become connected. Humans are flawed. We know that. But when we project our hate onto others for their flaws, can we see our own? Can we grow, re-route and become ascended? There is also good karma in finding the grace that we would like to be given for our flaws.

Resolving our past, forgiving others for not being perfect, and looking inside of our own heart will present space and a pathway for others to see our goodness.

Judgement is a trap. It blocks us and blessings from coming to us.

Acceptance creates expansion, giving others a pathway to meet us, see us, and want a connection with us.

I hope this blog and video help you, be it the person holding the grudge, and being begrudged.

The Life Lessons I Learned from Watching "Becoming Led Zeppelin"

 

Led Zeppelin was described by Rolling Stone Magazine as “unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history.”

I recently saw the movie “Becoming Led Zeppelin.” Watching documentaries and biographies is one of my passions, because I believe that we all have a life story to share. Through the mundane of everyone’s story, I believe there are always meaningful moments, and gold nuggets to glean.

I got a few really great ones from the movie, which I would like to share. I hope you can incorporate these golden nuggets into your life if need be, and that they inspire you, give you faith, and keep you strong.

Having Courage To Pursue Your Calling
Jimmy Page was a busy session musician. Although he didn’t suffer for work, he knew there were something else out there that was more aligned to who he really was. In his own words he “wanted to do something bigger to share with the world.”

He had the security that most musicians would give anything for, yet he took the chance by putting himself out there and starting something new. He gave himself to what was his calling. He took the chance, although he didn’t know what obstacles he would be facing. He pursued his dream, wanting to give the world something new. He showed courage, faith and selflessness, which I believe the universe rewarded him for.

Tuning Out the Critical Noise
People criticized them, and some tried to discourage them, and yet they persevered. The noise will be there for all of us, and yet we have to be able to shut out the noise. Other people may not understand what we are doing. They might be jealous. Perhaps, they just don’t get it. Not everyone is going to be on board with what we are doing. Regardless, it is up to us to do ahead with our vision. This takes a lot of de-conditioning, as many of us are taught to do what others want and need from us. We have an agreement that order for us to feel wanted, accepted and safe, we go along even when we know it is not the right direction for us. Listening to our inner selves and the spirit within, we will get the guidance we need to live a rewarding and meaning life.

Attracting “Our” People
When Led Zeppelin first appeared on the scene, even some audience members didn’t understand what they were doing. The lesson here is that we are not going to appeal to everyone. We have to find our tribe. We can’t make everyone happy, including our friends and family. If we continue on our path, ultimately, we will attract people who appreciate the work we are doing.

Be a Trailblazer
Do something that no one else is doing. If it’s part of your vision, then fight to maintain your vision. Take a risk by not just going along with what everyone else is expecting. This one action is showing faith in the universe. When we put our energy into the universe, the universe will help us. Listen to the spirit, and then work in cooperation with all that is. Remind yourself “This is what I am here to do.” And do it.

Loyalty, Honesty and Respect from Our Tribe
Peter Grant was their manager. He was a big guy with a big personality. And he was as loyal as they come. By aligning themselves with Peter Grant, the band got the right person on their side. “Yes” men can make us feel great as they are agreeing with us, and terrible when they watch us go down. Loyalty, respect and truth are priceless to have in our inner circle. We need people to love us, support us and help us grow. They should want us to succeed.
