Birthday Reflections

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ph-X1pYv5I

What is it about our birthdays that gives cause to reflect on where we've come from and where we are going and more than any other given day?

So much has happened for me in the last 12 mths, so much to be grateful for and so much has been learnt.  One of the most momentus things has been becoming part of a community that is truly generous of spirit, generous of their time, their support, their wisdom, their sharing and their personal courage.

For years I've looked at different opportunities and been left wanting.  So many promises made such as the opportunity, the support, the training, the life changing benefits but until June 2009 I'd been left disillusioned and wondering if any such community really does exist.
What I found in June last year has totally transformed my life and I can honestly say that above everything else it has come down to the "community" of people I have found.  We all work together to help each other succeed.  When one person succeeds it's as if we are succeeding.  We share each others joys, wins and challenges and we bolster each other along on a daily basis.  We are all living and breathing the Law of Attraction in our lives and with that has come so much joy and gratitude.

I can now truly believe that I AM a leader, I AM successful, I AM assisting others on their personal journeys and I AM fulfilled.

It's difficult to put into words just how wonderful my new family is but I know that in each and every one of us is a star, bursting to come out and that is what we in our business are doing.  We are all contributing to creating 'stars' and shining bright in our own and each others lives.

Some of the challenges different people have faced to get here, have truly inspired me and have given me such an appreciation and respect for what they've had to go through to get here.

Last birthday, I was still in the workforce working 24/7 as a motelier and this birthday I'm living my dream.  I'm on the road in my motorhome, living my life on my terms and no-one elses.  I am creating my own reality and doing it with  joy and gratitude.  It's raining buckets outside today but I have sunshine in my heart knowing I am living on purpose.

I"t is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves" - Sir Edmund Hillary

HOW IMPORTANT ARE CHANGING YOUR BELIEFS

How often do you go through your day and wonder where some of your
beliefs are coming from and how you are even thinking them?

How often have you wondered what you can do to change those beliefs,
if you even need to change them at all?

Have you ever asked yourself the questions:

"How important are changing my beliefs to me" and "how different
would life be if I did change them?"

Here are a few tips

1. Be aware of your language and thoughts- If you find yourself
saying words and thinking thoughts such as, "I should", "I have to",
"I'm supposed to", "I've got to", "I need to", etc. then that is a
clear sign that you are attempting to live according to someone else's
values and belief system.

If you are saying words and thinking thoughts such as "I love to",
"I'm excited to", "I'm inspired to", "This is what I've always
dreamed of", then that is a sign that you are living according to
your values and what is most important to you and according to YOUR
beliefs.

2. See how it serves you- Any time you have a limiting belief or
negative thought, rather than get rid of it, look to see how it
serves and helps you. Many people want to "get rid of" parts of
themselves instead of learning how to use them in accomplishing
their purpose and goals.

This is one of the ways you also learn how to love yourself. When
you are able to integrate parts of yourself you feel you want to
get rid of your self worth grows and so do you. Rather than "get rid
of" limiting beliefs learn how to appreciate and use them to help
you in achieving what you would love to have in your life.

3. There are no mistakes- Always remember there are no such things as
"mistakes". Everything that has happened and that happens in your
life is part of the divine perfection of the Universe we all live
in. When you see how everything serves you it is a lot easier to
appreciate and be grateful for everything you have in your life.

One of the most amazing things you can do on your life's journey is
to realize that you are perfect. Many people claim they are not
perfect and that is because they are buying into what perfection is
"supposed" to be.

You are perfect because everything about you, even the things you despise
about yourself and others serves you and serves the world and this
includes any negative thoughts and limiting beliefs you may have.

When you take the time to look and see that what you have, to include
your beliefs, provide value to you and the world, it is a lot easier
to see how special and magnificent you truly are.

So today…..

Know thyself
Be thyself
Love thyself

Have an exciting and inspiring day
