The Best Years of Your Life… Now!

Back in May I thought I was done…

5 months later it’s been like a lifetime of experiences - and realizations from my life’s journey I need to share:

There are three distinct parts to you. This is the “triangle” of who you are at anytime. On the bottom left of the triangle is your rational/irrational mind. On the bottom right is your emotional mind. Above those two is the “Observer”- what cognitive therapists refer to as the “wise mind”…

You’ve experienced the Observer. It’s that part of you that “watches” the other two parts of you as they take over and react to life’s situations in a manner that the Observer is as surprised as those who may also be experiencing the same situation with you.

You know how it feels. It’s like you’re watching someone else react even though it’s you or I should say the lower left or right side of the three parts that comprise your whole. We’ve all been there. Some of us way too often… And the negative realities of our current day-to-day life echoes all those times we lost touch with our higher self - the Observer.

Your “personality” is a construct - a mental mechanism - which attempts to balance the lower left and lower right parts of yourself. In some of us - when we are out of balance the “personality” overrides the Observer and goes into autopilot - automatic reactions - triggered habits from years and decades past which may no longer apply to who we think we are but become how we deal with what faces us in the moment when the “stimulus” ignites and plays the recordings of those habits - habits we may not even be conscious of until the instant they “take over”.

Then we experience our worst fears…

And our true self - the Observer - watches our life dream suddenly shift into a nightmare - as our personality construct takes even greater control over how we react to the situation - as it justifies it’s reactions by rationalizing what it’s feeling… Usually fear.

If it continues out of control - we literally experience a personality change…

But here’s the thing…

Just below the surface - your true self - the Observer - is always waiting and ready to reassume control over your other parts. The thing is- you have to “let go” of personality control. Consciously disconnect yourself from the overriding “personality program” and allow your true self to re-acquire how you continue to react.

True self - the Observer - will break the power of the autopilot only when you consciously override the personality construct…

Remember: YOUR PERSONALITY IS NOT WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

How do you begin to re-acquire your true self? You first have to realize what’s going on. Your personality construct is going to fight you with a lot rationale about why it should continue down the path it’s chosen for you. It’s promise of greater happiness is usually a huge lie - because of all of the misery it’s creating for you along the way…

How do you know the difference between your personality construct ruling your life versus your true self - the Observer?

Your personality construct is constantly justifying itself. It will supply you with endless reasons, blaming, excuses - all designed to keep itself in control. It will also throw a lot of fearful feelings on you. Literally changing how you perceive reality in order to more fully support it’s assumptions. It will twist the truth without you realizing it.

On the other hand your true self - the Observer - never has to justify itself. It is always safe, calm and knowing. It never experiences fear, uncertainty and doubt - how can it? It’s your higher self.

Do you see the difference between the two?

In tomorrow’s blog post I’m going to explain how to re-acquire your true self when you are “stuck” in a reactionary personality construct.

I’m speaking from direct recent experience here…

This is the 301st posting on this blog.

As a result of coming into a greater realization of my own true purpose - providing an opportunity for people to rediscover their innate potential - which is only possible by consciously surrendering to a power greater than themselves - has caused me to recognize that I can directly affect many more individuals with a very different mechanism than this blog and weekly newsletter.

Therefore, this is the last blog posting in the “Best Years of Your Life” series… These articles and postings will continue to be available on this web site.

My time and effort will now be focused on helping individuals - who are ready - to discover their true life purpose utilizing the “mechanism” I believe most fully exemplifies the ideals, aspirations and principles I have always believed in and espoused.

With this in mind I am going to make available - free of charge - access to the Intentional Prosperity™ System 24 lesson online program - to those who join with me in this step I am taking into the future…

It is my intention to assemble a group of individuals who are ready for profound change in their lives - and want to positively affect the world around them.

It is time to us live a life of real significance

Touching others in a manner which opens hearts and minds to a power greater than themselves - a power which transforms, uplifts and brings true joy and fulfillment - and real prosperity- is the most significant thing any of us can do in the time we have left with our lives.

Please join with me - the world has never been darker - more confused - or in more need of illumination. In this physical world that illumination can only be expressed through your heart into the hearts and minds of others.

Because first and foremost - you are a conduit of light from the source of all love - God.

Together we can change the world - one person at a time.

Please call me at 406-475-3458 if you would like to talk about participating with me in this exciting new adventure.

Warmest Regards,

A fantasy is a dream without “drive”…

Drive is the inspiration and the  personal energy that transforms a dream into reality.

Without drive your dreams remain fantasies you take out once in a while - look at - have a brief jolt of “what if” and then put away and forget about.

So what creates drive?

Trauma. Plain and simple - emotional truama - that point where you are shocked out of your “sleep walking ” and suddenly wake up in a moment of clarity. A phenomenon that can go one of two ways:

It can push you into a new direction that will change and transform your life - or further solidify and cement the “place” where you now reside - maintaining your status quo.

The problem is your dreams do not live in your status quo.  If they did they wouldn’t be dreams they would be your day-to-day life!

What causes the necessary emotional trauma that literally “kicks” your life into a different trajectory?  For many it’s the stark realization that they have reached a dead-end.  The realization that they keep doing the same things over and over expecting a different result.  You know, how you  keep telling yourself that “someday” or “when the time is right” I’m going to do this or that - and of course the someday never comes and the time is never right.

For some people the shock comes when they finally realize their life is a dead-end.

That nothing is going to change. They can see the rest of their lives following a predictable pattern repeating the weeks, months and years that have already passed them by…

The “trauma” may come in the middle of the night or in a flash of realization.  Or it may come as a result of financial hardship - emotional trauma like a divorce or the death of a loved one.  Something happens to wake you up.

For those who live the life of their dreams they call this event their “why”.

“Why” is the sum total of those events which come together at one point in time to cause you enough emotional trauma to jolt you into action.  It becomes your personal story - your rationale - the very foundation upon which you build your new life.  The life of your dreams.

When your “why” becomes bigger than your comfort zone - your status quo - only then do you find the inspiration - the “juice” - the personal energy and determination to actually do something.  Your “why” becomes a constant reminder that keeps you on track day-to-day as you consistently apply your attention and energy to those actions which transform your life.

Have you found your “why” yet?

Maybe you have but you burry it because you’re afraid of what may happen if you let it out.  Maybe you’re afraid of the changes that will come once you acknowledge your true self - which you see reflected in your dreams every time your exercise your imagination.

Turning On Your Dream Machine

This is a fun little exercise you need to engage in on a regular basis - turning on your dream machine.

I’m talking about your unimpeded imagination.  That part of you that knows no limits  - where anything is possible - and you can pretend without feeling guilty!

So here goes:

First - Money is no object!

Second - Relationships and other commitments have no bearing!

Wow! That really clears out the “web of limitation” in a hurry.  Now while you’re in this rarified atmosphere where fear, uncertainty and doubt don’t exist - and where anything is possible - do the following:

Write down ten things - experiences or relationships - any combination that you would like to make a part of your day-to-day life….

Come on! Don’t think too much about them - you’ve been putting them on the back burner for years - now bring them out and put them down on paper.

And don’t stop until your list has at least 10 items.

As you look at each item on you list - how does it feel?  Can you detect the unique emotional flavor each item resonates?  It’s there - it may be subtle or dramatic - but everything you’ve written down has it’s own vibration.

So what does that mean?

Simply put, if the emotional vibration (or flavor) of that which you want “resonates” with the combined vibration you have come to know as your day-to-day life - the opportunity to experience that particular item already exists somewhere in your life - you just have to choose to let yourself become aware of it and experience it.

So the next question is:  What on your list already fits?  What’s already possible right now for you to experience?  What’s only a matter of your deciding you’re ready to experience it - now?

Those things on your list that fit this criteria are a matter of your choice!

What about the rest of the things on your list - the ones that don’t fit into the reality of your current day-to-day life?  Are they fantasies?  Impossible dreams?

Not at all

Whatever is humanly possible - you can experience in your life - if you are willing to change the trajectory of your current day-to-day reality.  It’s the ole “right place at the right time” thing.  If you can’t “see” the possibility of the remaining things on your list becoming your reality - you need to change your perspective - which will then alter your day-to-day life.

Look at it this way:

If your current life does not provide the necessary “pathways” which have the potential of leading you to your “dreams” - you have to add new pathways.  Pathways are people to people relationships.

The quality and quantity of your current relationships already determine the “size” and “scope” of your day-to-day reality.  By increasing the number of relationships in your life you also increase the number of possibilities that are open to you.  Do you get this?

It’s always a matter of relationships - because all opportunities will come to you through other people.  If you limit the number of people in your life -  you limit the number of opportunities to make your dreams come true.

The instant you start to create new relationships you change the trajectory of your day-to-day life.

Here’s the biggest secret of all:

You’re never more than two or three degrees away from the ideal set of circumstances - opportunity - to make any of your dreams come true.  It’s just a matter of building relationships which are the pathways to your dreams.

Then paying attention so you recognize the opportunity when it “appears”!
