Q. How can I find my purpose?
A. This has as many different answers as there are people. Some do it through meditation, others uncover it through journaling, some discover it in the shower, but the best way to find your purpose is by following your passion. Your mission in life is to learn self-love while sharing your unique gift or talent with the world. Think about it as you feel good about what you're doing, you love and appreciate the person you are. Your life purpose can be anything and everything you want it to be with the ultimate goal being to love yourself!.
Q. Does it matter if I send a mixed message to The Universe?
A. It absolutely does matter if you send a mixed message to The Universe! The analogy that comes to mind is the gearbox of a car. You wouldn't shift your car into drive, then at 60 mph shift into reverse and then while going 30 mph grind it into park. You'd do a number on the car's transmission and end up going nowhere fast! The same goes for The Universe if you throw out mixed messages. First you'll have it going in one direction then another, only to have you wind up somewhere else altogether. You end up accomplishing nothing and wondering why your life's not working! It's important to be consistent with the messages you send because The Universe is constantly funneling back to you what you think and feel through the experiences you have..
Q. How long will it take to manifest my dream?
A. That all depends on the person and your commitment to making the dream a reality! There are several factors that go into the mix, but it shouldn't take any longer than 2 years. Map it out, take action, believe it can happen, and be open to following the path because many times it is different than what you anticipated!.
Q. What do I need to do or what needs to happen for me to realize my dream?
A. Do what you can, from where you are, with all that you have! As you work the program with all that you have, stepping stones will magically appear to facilitate that hop, skip, and a jump you need to take in order to arrive at your dreamed of destination. It's all about believing and having the faith to act even when you don't see how it's all going to unfold..
Q. You refer to The Universe frequently. What role does It really play in your life?
A. The Universe plays a huge role in bringing about your desired or dreamed about life. Your purpose in the creation process is to envision the goal and then sketch out a game plan. That gives The Universe a framework to work through to coordinate the synchronicities, chance happenings, unexpected phone calls, and coincidental meetings that will propel your dream into becoming a reality. Another way to look at it is to hoist your sails so The Universal winds can blow you in the right direction..
Q. How will I know when I get there?
A. That's an interesting question because life is a process and I don't know if you ever quite get there. It's anticlimactic to think about getting to the destination only to stop; the fun is really in experiencing the journey! We are creative human beings and even before we arrive we're already planning the next adventure! It's like getting to your favorite vacation spot and before you step off the plane or jump out of the car, you're already thinking about what's next on the agenda!.
Q. Why shouldn't I focus solely on the destination?
A. You'd miss a whole lot in life if you solely focus on the destination! Your attention should be on enjoying the journey because that's the real gift. When you're thankful and happy for the blessings you have today, that's a secret ingredient in getting you to where you want to go! Work the program, let time play out, and you will get to where you want to be!.
Q. Why is the journey so important?
A. Plain and simple the journey helps you learn about yourself and teaches you plenty of life lessons! Usually it's when you get to the destination and look back on your life that you clearly see what the twists and turns in the road were all about! Another way I like to look at it is by comparing the journey to a tapestry. When you look at the back of a tapestry, it appears to be all knotted and messy, but when you flip it over something really beautiful has been created!.
Q. Does attitude really make a difference?
A. Absolutely, attitude makes a tremendous difference! A positive attitude has a very mystical and magical affect that starts rearranging the circumstances and players of your life to create the best possible outcome. The more you have that feel good feeling, the more life swings your way and lets you know you can do anything! Conversely, the more negative your attitude, the more negative events you draw to yourself..
Q. Why is visualization so important?
A. Visualization is important so you can feel the feeling and experience the dream! It's an extremely powerful to exercise and sends off a message to The Universe, "I Want This and Bring It to Me!" By putting roots down through the vision and feeding it on a daily basis you're creating the framework for the dream to happen! It might be helpful to compare it to a marathon. You would need exercise your body to be in tip top shape for the race and you would need to exercise your mind by visualizing your dream as if it already happened!.
Q. What happens if I think something negative?
A. Having a negative thought here or there is only human! It isn't a big deal, especially if you're counteracting the negative thought with lots of positive thoughts! It's when you're overwhelmed by tons of negative thinking that it becomes a problem. However, a good habit to get into for the occasional slip up, is to say, "cancel that thought." That sends a loud, clear message to The Universe to stop the thought you just had. It reverses the effect and gives you a clean slate to redirect your thinking in a positive light..
Q. Why is it so important to do something every day in pursuit of my dream?
A. It's very important to do something towards your dream every day because that's what gives it the power to happen! Without the action behind the dream it comes to a screeching halt! Whenever you set out to accomplish any project you work at it until it's complete. You wouldn't start that project and then leave it with the expectation it would get done on its own. You would chip away at it day by day with the anticipation of finishing what you started. The same holds true for a dream's realization. Lots of tiny steps lead to big dreams happening!.
Q. I want to work towards a dream, but I'm not sure how to figure out what's best for me?
A. Dreams that get you moving come from your heart. A great place to start is by journaling! Write about what you enjoy most, whether it's spending time with your family or planting flowers. This gives you clarity about the direction you can take. You can add to that by clipping pictures, advertisements, job announcements, class listings, articles, and quotes that inspire you. Themes will start to emerge and help you determine what interests you..
Q. What if I'm overwhelmed by the big picture?
A. It can be very scary when you look at the big picture and you can easily become overwhelmed! Break it up into bite size pieces and work at tidying up one facet of your life at a time. As you have success and feel good about what you've accomplished in one area, it will give you the strength to move on and tackle the next bite size piece. As you continue down this path little by little, issues are resolved and your life automatically starts taking shape!.
