“Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing in a solution paves the way to solution”

Don’t take anything personally, Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality,their own dream. When you are immune to the opinion and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
You will by now have a good idea on WHO YOU ARE, but do you see yourself through your eyes or that of others, are whole life is based on this opinion that we have, the good,the bad and what could for sure be better, if you think you are now in a position to know WHO YOU ARE you should be able to look back at things that have happened in your life, and know who you were at that point, this is a good way to look for improvement or recuperacion, the times that were not so good, you should be able to pin point now,and see where you or things went wrong, how you reacted to certain circumstances or the decisions you made, you may of made that decision to please someone else, while inside your gut feeling was telling you to go in the opposite direction that you did, this is where you have to see how important your intuition is, your inner strength will never go against you. If you look back and see times when you were very happy with the decisions you made then you need to work on recuperating that feeling and be the person you were then, I am not referring to when you were young and had no responsibilities(they were different times for everyone) but we are still all the same people,and we make or made our decisions.Don’t forget that who you are or were has been with you a long time, a life time in fact,good or bad, to change it you have to have a good concept of yourself. So, take that baggage you are carrying around with you and finally unpack or deposit it for good,only this way can you move forward, in the direction you want to go…………….Bon Voyage

Listening is such a simple act, it requires us to be present and that takes practice,but we don’t have to do anything else. We don’t have to advise, or coach or sound wise. We just have to be willing to sit there and listen.
How are you doing with the last post, knowing WHO YOU ARE, by the emails I have recieved I would say that some of you are very secure people who know exactly what you want and most important WHO YOU ARE, however I get the impression that some of you are struggling with this, and you know thats fine,we can work this out, remember we always have a choice,and we tend to forget this at times, particularly when we are stressed !! its okay to want to change your life,you have that right and that choice…..the same with defining yourself,stay calm, look inside,make your own opinions,and be HONEST, this is usually the difficult part, we take on what others have to say, its you thats important, what you feel and live through is the true you, and your inner self will tell you, when you give permission for that to happen. You will find that the skills,abilities,strengths,talents your gifts are all free, you have them, you don’t have to buy them they are yours for the taking, maybe you have forgotten your passions,interests etc., they can be the key to your talents, when you incorporate your gifts into your life, you will instantly have more satisfaction and happiness in your life,you will notice this change and also the people around you, your life begins to change into the direction you really want……..you start to become WHO YOU ARE, the more the real you shines through and not the you that others expect you to be,a great weight will be lifted from your shoulders, in my last post I mentioned the amount of energy you use, being someone you are not, you will find a strength and vitality you never knew you had, and its yours, its always been there, but not always used or allowed to flourish,so give your self permission to be you, listen to your inner self, it will never let you down,it wants the best for you always,you have to learn to listen,take note and act. Always act on your inner voice,this is your judgement call not that of others.
So, whats still holding you back ? Do you now see what has held you back,that at some point you lost your way and of all the things you really wished to accomplish were put on the back burner,but, for longer than you thought,even totally forgotten,you lost your individuality the person you really here, well if you have been working on your inner self and have discovered who you really are, the road will be becoming more clear and you can go forward,remember your car may have petrol everything in good working order, but you have to put it in to gear to travel down the road, you could be at that point right now, you are ready and in gear, your road ahead is showing you your talents,abilities passiones,your new found power is pushing you to go, start your new life on your new road,and dont be afraid of the bends up ahead, to feel fear and to be afraid is what holds us back, so what are you afraid of, look inside and find the answer, if you feel fear people around you will feel fear, so find it,take it apart,confront it and keep going around that bend, you will find the extra strength,just how your car gets you to where you want to go, around the bend and down the straight.by confronting our fears we can resolve them, when you are yourself,and you know who YOU ARE,the barriers that hold you back, will start to disappear,you overcome the old fears and you will be on your successful road, knowing WHO YOU ARE and what and where you want to be going.

Finally Christmas time is over, only just here in Spain, you may not know that the holidays go to the 7th January, Spain holds the tradition of the The Three Kings, who visit from the Orient on the night of the 5th, we have fabulous “cavalgatas” in the street with camels and thrones bringing the Three Kings bearing there gifts (This in Spain, is like Christmas Eve) the children get very excited and wait for there gifts from the Kings, the 6th is a family day when everyone gets together (Christmas Day)
I am sure we have all been with the people with love during these holidays, where ever in the world you may be, Christmas is usually a holiday when for once for one or two days we can forget about our daily routines and enjoy the festive time and the people we have around us, for some of us it is time when we see people that we have not seen in a long time, family and friends and then of course comes the goodbyes and we sink a little in spirit,but we are fortunate to carry that with us and appreciate the time we had, we can keep that happy festive feeling a little longer,of course it is also a time when our loved ones who are no longer with us are remembered more and sadly missed, again I think if we can remember all the lovely times we have had with them and truly believe that they are always with us, in some form, we can obtain great comfort from this and enjoy the inner peace that gives us. I know my loved ones would want me and my family to be happy and enjoy our time together and I hope I managed to do that and made them happy.
Well, the New Year is here……………………..2014 here we come, we all ask, what will this year bring,will we be happy,will we work well,will are health be fine,my family all the thoughts that go through our minds, everyone is different and we all want different things,so now is your time to start to make your own reality, make this the year we want it to be, by our thoughts,picture what you want in your mind,and think about it as often as you can,imagine you have all that you need and want,live the experience in your mind, and never loose sight of your vision of your life, your dreams, I wish you all sweet dreams and an exceptional HAPPY NEW YEAR this is your year.
We have talked recently about preparing for Christmas and our latest challenge on our new life for the new year, I have had a few mails regarding this and some of you are concerned about time,keeping everything in your head and generally are overwelmed, there is a very simple solution to this, list it, make a list for everything you wish to do and achieve, your could use a gift list if you like to share presents at Christmas time, list all those lucky people and the gift you have in mind, a simple tick will keep you on track,a food list is very important if you are in charge of entertaining this season,I list everything and work my way through it,including my table decorations, we have wonderful ideas that come to us at all times,(we think we will remember,but,we forget)so write it on the list,again a simple tick assures you that you have taken care of it, one down and ……….to go, its far better on paper than swimming around in your head, and if you are taking the new life-new year challenge, the last thing you want is thinking of your savouries and sweets when visualizing and meditating !!! I even make a cleaning list, If I list, my mind is free to do other things I love my lists, I also carry a note book, this is where I write ideas and tip bits during my day,this way nothing is forgotten,so clear your mind make your lists and sail through this busy but lovely season.
We are now on the final count down to see the end of 2013, 2014 is nearly here and for some of you it is very important that you are ready, in mind, body and soul. A new year, is like a new book without a single word, it is all waiting to be written, and we are responsable for what we write,what we experience and how we go about reaching our new set goals. It is extremley important that you set your goals, write them down,the order is up to you,but you have to know what you want, ” The more you take responsibility for your past and present, the more you are able to create the future you seek ” The message here is to accept your present situation,truly come to terms with it,then file it away,and start to move into the future by knowing what you want,when you have that clear,start to think about it,start to give it a form, Imagine what you want, visualize what you want and then attach an emotion to that, so you will know how it will feel, don’t be afraid to do this,fear will hold you back,try to meditate through this process, I mentioned in an earlier post on meditation, that practice makes perfect, some people have difficulties in the early stages of meditation, learninng to clear your mind of your everyday activities and thoughts,is easy to some and not so easy for others,but, it is possible for everyone,when you gain the ability of meditation,you will find a way to attract what you want into your life, the way will come to you,appreciate everything you have in your life and not what you don’t have,create your own reality,some people have difficulty in obtaining what they want, due to the fact that they feel not worthy of what they want, this can be due to old beliefs,which we acquire during our lives, and some just don’t belief in themselves, if you really want to change your life, this is your opportunity to prepare yourself for 2014, you have time, starting today, you are worth everything you desire,you can achieve anything that your heart desires, you hold the inner power to do this,so, make that list,come to terms with today,file it away,and start your preparation for 2014, I look forward to hearing from you……………………………………..
WORDS OF THE GREAT NELSON MANDELA
I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward.
Nelson Mandela
