Are You Sacrificing - In The Name of Service

I can remember a time when I dreaded getting out of bed in the morning. I woke up feeling defeated even before my feet hit the floor. My work life held the illusion of autonomy, but in fact I was sacrificing my vision in support of someone else’s. I felt angry and resentful most of the time. Each day started as it ended, with resistance.

The truth is I was trying to make a living instead of building a life. I didn't like what I was doing. I knew I was willing to contribute to the unified effort, but not at the expense of my own vision. And so I quit, garnering valuable insights in the process.

When we over-allow, or give at the expense of ourselves, we end up feeling angry, then resentful. Sacrifice breeds resentment. Resentment spawns guilt and guilt triggers the repetition of sacrifice. There’s a difference between being of service and taking on the role of servant.

How do you know if you are overly allowing or sacrificing in the name of service - ask yourself. Questioning the reality we find ourselves in really does work! I find that when I consciously ‘clue track’ any situation, and get into communication with the well-spring of wisdom within me, the answer comes.

Anyone can do this. Start by asking specific questions. If you find that what you’re engaged with has you operating out of sync with your mission, investigate further. Here’s where the fun starts. As a result of questioning our reality, we often get the opportunity to do what we love (and be paid well for it).

Each of us has a unique offering to make. When we miss our shot in the firing sequence, we don’t just cheat ourselves, we muck up the works across the board. When I honor the authentic expression of who I AM, I serve that presence in everyone.

Here’s a quick check list I found useful in raising the bar for my Self awareness;

1)I Am operating consistent with my desire 'TO' rather than my fear 'not to'.
2)I Am in alighment with my vision version of reality.
3)I Am taking action and living my dream.
4)I Am in sync with my highest and best.
5)I Am eager and willing to take my next steps now.

If you could NOT honestly answer 'yes' to all of the above, then it's probably time to reevaluate the situation you are in.

Truth is the key is always in the cage isn’t it! Our consciousness holds all the solutions. We can't live another's dream but we can make sure we never give up on our own.

Bottom line, there’s no hover. We either move forward or backward. Discovering the corner we’ve painted ourselves into, is always cause for celebration. Getting off dead center and risking it all, pulls the trigger on movement forward.

So go for it and have a great time in the process . . .you deserve it!

Reformatting The Hard Drives Of Humanity

Following the energy and clue tracking has always been key for me in personal development. Years ago I engaged with a slew of indigenous practices and found that all the teachings had a common denominator. . . .ritual observance of natural patterns.

Clearly I saw this as a clue unlocking a door to a bigger reality. I started noticing how I felt during new and full lunations and seasonal changes. The more connected I was to my own energy around the ritual observance, the better educated I became on how to use the energy successfully.

Did you know that at every new and full moon we receive an info download that stimulates the pineal gland, (the area associated with our thrid eye) and that this lil gismo operates as a cosmic GPS, locating our consciousness in time, space and dimension? I found this info useful in helping me track clues associated with the energy being stimulated in, through and around me during various moon phases.

As we move into the Aries new moon, the first new moon of the new spring season here in the northern hemisphere, I'm picking up on the energy it is manifesting for a fresh start. I'm feeling enlivened by the energy of desire for change. I'm anxious to charge forward and head out in a new direction. I'm excited at the idea of granting my curiosity permission to surge. I'm ready for a bright vision to manifest.

This is the ground breaking time of the year here. A time when we plant that which we hope to reap later on. It's also a good time to tally up wins and losses, let go of what has not born fruit, clear away debris hindering new growth and set our sites on forward motion. The process of refine or release is important at this time because without it we can't focus on what to cultivate.

It is amazing the perfection of the universe, isn't it. Here we have an alignment of stars, planets and galaxies positioned in such a way as to literally support the restructuring of consciousness. Energetically there could not be a better time to resript or repattern our beliefs and install new programming.

Letting go of that which is not working does not have to be difficult either. If you think you can, 'YOU CAN' - especially right now! If the content in your life doesn't 'up your frequency and shift your vibe' change the context. No kidding, there's no time like a new moon to do somehting different. Trust your intuitive knowing and let your natural GPS lead here.

This new moon packs plenty of potential for bright new beginnings. The healing energy associated with it, offers great support for taking that leap of faith. And with that said, don't be surprised if during this new moon, whatever was seeking your attention back in January, is back in front of you requesting resolution.

If you are in the northern hemisphere use the energy of this new moon to till the soil of your consciousness before planting the seeds of your new vision and you'll be ready for the fast growth of a very productive next season.

If you are in the southern hemisphere you too can bennefit by flexing the muscle of introspection to clear away what's no longer needed in preparation for your season of renewal.

Truth is a full cup always needs to be emptied before it can be refilled. We can all win right now by hitting the delete button on Old programs and making room for the cosmic download of high vibe energy accompanying this new moon.

Here's something that may be useful for you. Use a question/answer format to get in touch with what your higher vibrational self is seeking to express through you. Ask: "What would it take for me to" and put in the one thing you have been thinking aobut taking a risk on. If you don't get an answer right away don't give up, rephrase the question and don't for get to listen for the answer.

New moons invite new beginnings. What insights and awarenesses have been generated for you during this time? Got any tips for others on how to interact with the energies of the cosmos?

Focus - Number One Strategy For The Successful Entrepreneur

Focus always narrows the possibility for confusion – yet even in the knowing of this, which most of us do, it is often quite the challenge. It is however paramount that we flex that muscle of discipline often enough, to strengthen our ability to center. Without balance we veer off course and once off course, success is dubious.

It can’t be denied that there is an abundance of tools available for marketing biz opps - each looking better than the last, (the intended focus of good marketing). We may even think we need them all. Yet none of them do much to benefit our bottom line, unless used with focus. When we engage with new techniques short term, we short change ourselves.

The more I shift ad and marketing gears midstream, the less success I have. Confliction between having what I want and doing what I need to do to get it, arises when my commitment wanes. A psycho analyst could likely track this behavior pattern back to early childhood and a gaggle of issues surrounding commitment. But ‘understanding’ alone is indeed the booby prize here. I have to take action, do something different or I’ll keep getting the same results.

Focus is diluted whenever we lack the discipline to lean into a situation, instead of veering away from it. Persistence flies in the face of impatience. Short little attention spans and the desire for instant gratification, are the culprits here. Learning how to focus more on being than doing, is paramount too when seeking to succeed.

We have become programmed to eek out the latest and best, then gather it unto us, whether we need it or not. Adding to our collection of things and stuff, we insulate ourselves with more than we can use. This is a coping mechanism for surviving unpredictability.

We suffer from the need for more, better, different because variety has become the new stability. Change has become the Talisman of our times.

Fragmentation and confusion are the hallmark energies associated with a lack of focus. In our quest to expand our horizons we’ve become overexposed to an endless number of possibilities. Multi tasking, once believed to be key in the management of our time, has dealt a death blow to our ability to focus.

When we relax into the moment, the doors to inspiration open wide. This is the discipline needed for the cultivation of focus. Focus is a natural by-product of inspiration. The power lies in our ability to be consistent. With this piece in place we set solid the foundation for success. Otherwise we flip and flop like fish out of water, at effect of change instead of at cause.

Success strategies require we seek first to be, before striving to do. Without context, content has no home. We will never have what we say we want by doing more.

Establishing a good relationship with persistence and maintaining a ‘can do’ mindset aligns us with the vibration of focus, ultimately attracting success. Committing to a specific plan of action and sticking to it, instead of test driving many for fear of missing out on one, favors fortune as well.

Truth is at the end of the day it all boils down to the numbers, either we have them or we need them. It is just that simple.

Best sage wisdom – do what works.

2010 Internet Marketing Trends - What's Hot & What's Not

Who can afford to be uninformed these days. . . I certainly can't and thought you wouldn't want to be either. That's why I am passing along a few tidbits I took in while surfing a site I can't recall and therefore am not able to properly credit. I can tell you that the pen name is 'Contempo' and the writer posted a phone # 708-714-1680. Please send all Kudos to him/her directly - me, I'm just the messenger.

WHAT'S HOT on the internet marketing runway this year - PAID SEARCH. Why? Because if Bing can lure searches away from Google, Pay per click advertising will drop in price. The truth is however, either way PPC is a "must do" for those looking to dominate the web, using successful online marketing strategies.

Another winner is E-MAIL MARKETING and here's how come. The cost of building a permission-based list in 2010 will not increase. This is good news to the budget-minded advertiser, however - buyer be ware. Due to the sizable number of email addresses gone bad (or just plain gone altogether) as a result of the musical chairs games being played out in companies undergoing deep dimensions of persistent change, you could end up with less (rather than more) bang for your buck. As always, careful research is recommended.

WEB PRESENCE - still hot? OF COURSE, dah!! A web site is a "Must" with-a-bullet always. And in case you haven't heard, "Content Nesting" is totally IN dahling. And yes it is exactly what it sounds like, a place where people can go to hang out, hunker down, dig in, and partake of everything you have to offer, with just one click. No surfing around to a bunch of sites. Although you should make sure your video is on YouTube as well as your personal site, because if it isn't, well, you'll loose the Youtube-only audience and that would be bad. Always remember, when your website content is nested into as many content aggregation sites as possible, you've got traffic baby, and that's good.

The last, but certainly not least, "must have" for 2010 is ONLINE VIDEO. An absolute no-can-do-without....well think about it, everyone knows a picture says a thousand words. Watching a live performance is entertainment and everyone loves to be entertained, even if it isn't an oscar winning performance. Stats show that 30 seconds of YOU LIVE converts to way more green backs than anything else on the market to date.

2010 is a good year to continue testing Search Engine Optimization too. Using more personalized content, key words and links along with social network marketing works, to find out what attracts repeat and referred biz. Coupons, discounts and savings, will be revenue raisers as well this year. Don't be to fast though to cuddle up with trends, as consumers and marketers never get to cozy to quickly. Recognizing the lag time between consumer observation and consumption, is something that could save you time and money. If you want to test mobile marketing, use google Analytics to track results.

As for Blogs, Podcasts and radio ads - well, not so much this year, at lest there's no thumbs up activity on these 3 from the marketing critics. If you're writing a blog to facilitate search engine ranking or to inform followers - go for it. But if you are seeking to attract prospects and convert them to customers, this will require time, effort and persistence on your part, as you will need to write fresh, fun, stimulating content regularly to keep that conversion rate up (lots a competition out there). In other words, your conversion rate of prospects to customers, is only as good as the last offering on your landing page - no survival by 'duplication' here. If this level of high octane performance super charges you do it - if not, don't.

As for podcasts and online radio advertising, don't think twice, just go directly to online video and enjoy the attention, everyone else is.

That's it for now. See ya at the top!

Winter Olympics - Another Powerful Opportunity To Raise Collective Consciousness

I have been working with The New Age Study of Humanities Purpose, headed up by Patricia Cota-Robles for more than 20 years. Patricia's work is always spot on and I consider it a privilege to be associated with someone who consistently takes the conversation higher, regarding the evolution of consciousness.

The article that follows is important because Patricia illustrates how each of us individually can participate in the raising of the collective consciousness by doing something as simple as tuning in to the Olympic Games.


ANOTHER POWERFUL OPPORTUNITY!
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

http://eraofpeace.org

Whenever we have the opportunity to join in consciousness with the masses of Humanity, we can add to the Light of the world in very significant ways. This weekend is one of those opportunities. Tomorrow night, February 12, 2010, we will witness the Opening Ceremonies for the XXI Winter Olympic Games. It is estimated that over four billion people will watch this event. The Olympics are always a powerful time to add to the Light of the world, because the Divine Intent is for this global event to be an outer-world demonstration of the Family of Humanity joining together in pursuit of our highest level of excellence.

The collective cup of Humanity’s consciousness will be established with the Opening Ceremonies, and it will build in momentum through the Closing Ceremonies which will take place February 28, 2010. Throughout this entire time, we can ask the Company of Heaven and the I AM Presence of everyone on the planet to gather up the energy being released through Humanity’s focused attention on this event. We can purify the energy with the Violet Flame and consecrate the energy to be utilized for the highest good of all Life evolving on this Earth.

On Saturday, February 13, 2010, we will experience a very powerful New Moon that is being enhanced by some celestial alignments that are empowering the frequencies of Divine Love throughout the Universe. How perfect that this alignment is occurring on the eve of the day that is celebrated throughout the world as a Day of Love, Valentine’s Day.

During this Cosmic Moment in the Earth’s evolution, nothing is happening by accident. 2010 has been heralded by the Company of Heaven as the “Year of Manifestation.” This is the year when the archetypes for the New Earth will begin tangibly manifesting in the physical world of form. No frequency of Light is a more powerful catalyst for physical manifestation than the Transfiguring Divine Love of our Father-Mother God. Let’s take full advantage of this amazing opportunity to expand God’s Love through the hearts and minds of every man, woman, and child evolving on this sweet Earth.

There will be hundreds of thousands of Lightworkers around the world empowering the following visualization. Let’s join together on a daily basis during the Winter Olympics, February 12-28, 2010, and be the most powerful force of Transfiguring Divine Love we are capable of being.

God Bless YOU for your willingness to add to the Light of the world!

FORCEFIELD OF TRANSFIGURING DIVINE LOVE

Beloved Father-Mother God, I ask that you now expand the Flame of Transfiguring Divine Love pulsating within every person’s Heart Flame. Create from this Sacred Fire a tremendous Heart of Pure Divine Love to envelop the entire Planet Earth.

This Forcefield of Light now magnetizes the Love of God from every Ascended level of Being in the Universe. This monumental influx of Light pours in, through, and around every person on Earth and our planetary cause of manifesting Divine Love within the hearts and minds of every man, woman, and child.

Our Father-Mother God now send forth a clarion call invoking the Archangels of Transfiguring Divine Love to come forth now. Twelve magnificent Solar Archangels of pure Divine Love descend into the atmosphere of Earth. These powerful Archangels take their strategic positions equal distances around the Earth’s equator, as they willingly prepare to assist Humanity with this activity of Light.

As One unified force, the Archangels breathe the Transfiguring Divine Love of God from the very core of Creation into the heart and mind of every person on Earth. This influx of Light flows through every Heart Flame creating a symphony of Transfiguring Divine Love that ensouls and interpenetrates our Beloved Mother Earth and ALL her Life.

This influx of Divine Love now penetrates into the 5th-Dimensional Solar Heart Chakra of every person on the planet. The I AM Presence of every man, woman, and child becomes a power point of Light unified in consciousness with the I AM Presence of every other person on Earth, inbreathing, assimilating, expanding, and projecting this forcefield of Transfiguring Divine Love throughout Humanity, the Elemental Kingdom, the Angelic Kingdom, and the entire atmosphere of Earth.

The I AM Presence within every person is now the Open Door for this resplendent Light. At inner levels, every person on the planet is experiencing this forcefield of Transfiguring Divine Love.

Through the I AM Presence, every person is seeing the scintillating colors of Love, smelling the fragrance of Love, and hearing the Cosmic Tones and moving melodies of Love. Through this activity of Light, we are all, truly, Love in action. We are collectively changing the core vibration of the primal Light substance, which has gone into creating the present negative conditions manifesting on Earth.

Through the Love of our Father-Mother God, the Twelve Solar Archangels, and the I AM Presence of every Human Being, we are the CAUSE of this Forcefield of Transfiguring Divine Love now anchored on Earth. Together we have set in place the basic spiritual forces of Divine Love over which Humanity is now Ascending out of our long exile in darkness into the 5th-Dimensional Realms of Light.

Unified in consciousness with the Kingdoms of Earth and the Realms of Heaven, we are the Open Door. We are exploring and rediscovering the great Family of God in which we now find complete support for the fulfillment of our Divine Plans.

This is what our Father-Mother God’s magnetic forcefield of Transfiguring Divine Love is attracting into each of us personally and all of us collectively. We are being raised into a profound awakening of Supreme Love consciousness. We are, here and now, the Masters of Love we were always destined to be.

We are Beings of Love, accepting responsibility for Loving this sweet Earth and all her Life FREE. We are One with this blessed planet, and the planet is One with us.

The Twelve Solar Archangels are now intensifying their Light through every person’s Heart Flame. This activity of Light, and every person on the planet, is being lifted into a higher octave of Divine Service. Every person is involved with cocreating the patterns of perfection for the New Earth. Each one is being permanently invested with a Cosmic Forcefield of Transfiguring Divine Love. This forcefield is initiating each of us into a higher order of Divine Service on behalf of Humanity and all Life on this planet as we revel in the unfathomable Light of God.

And so it is!
