You And What Is Possible For You

December 27,2011

 

As we close in on another year it is the time for reflection and projection. We reflect on what happened this year along our journey and then imagine and project what we desire to accomplish and experience in the year ahead.

Every year January 1st becomes the pinnacle day for setting intentions and goals, Goals that unfortunately very rarely become reality. So, maybe today is the day to ask yourself, “How many of these resolutions do I actually follow through on?” “How many of these targets do I actually get up everyday of the New Year determined to make real?” “How many more years do I want to go on wishing and hoping to make these dreams a reality?”

WARNING: DO NOT READ ON IF YOU WANT THIS YEAR TO BE THE SAME.

Here is the raw truth. You will only follow through on creating that which you truly desire, combined with what you truly take daily action towards, combined with what you truly believe possible for you.  Miss any one of the three above and whatever you intend cannot and will not happen.

You cannot create what you have no desire for, you cannot create what you do not work for and you cannot create what you do not believe in. Most have desires and dreams, fewer yet actually work to create these dreams, and even a smaller percentage actually believe what they dream for themselves is possible.  The magic formula is to have all three. With this combination the universe cannot and then will not deny you but rather it will serve you and your creative imagination.

Of the three ingredients above the one that seem to be the most powerful is the one where you believe what you desire is possible. Seems easy enough right? Wrong. Your reality does not lie. This is where your true personal limitation is exposed. This is where the story you have been carrying about your life is revealed for the way it has kept you form going further in life. Whether it is in losing weight, experiencing financial abundance, finding a soul mate, establishing a career you find fulfilling, or desiring world peace.  All the desire and work at it in the world won’t lead to it happening unless you can believe it as a possibility for you at some level of your being.

This brings us to the truth beyond all truths. But, first let’s start with the lie. The lie is that you are limited in what you can create for yourself, or that you are limited in what you deserve, or that you are limited in what you are worth. None of this is true.  In this moment as in every other moment of your life, only one truth is real. And that is the truth that what is possible for you is anything. This is the truth that ends all the hesitation, dissolves all the excuses and exposes all the lies. This is the path that leads you to your most powerful energy of expression and creative manifestations.

“No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities – always see them, for they are always there.”

— Norman Vincent Peale

May you have the most beautiful and fulfilling year of your life in 2012 and beyond.

The Power of Your Perception

August 13,2011

In the age of 24 hour news and the internet it can seem hard to escape the barrage of negative events occurring around the world on an daily basis. This can often lead one to wonder and seriously question what is going on in the world? These events include wars, terrorism, famine, disease, political division, nuclear crisis, financial crisis, global pollution, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes volcanoes, wildfires and on and on.

One’s faith in the purpose of life can surely be tested when witnessing the suffering that these events cause on seeming innocent people. The terms bad luck, poor fate, and an idea of a certain randomness of events are often the rationalization many use to make some sense out of what seems like extremely senseless and disturbing images.

What if there was a new way to look at these events? A much more empowering way, where you realize your role in the conditions that create what happens next?

You see, the only person that these events are really happening to is You. You are the one who interprets, feels, responds and reacts to what you experience. The reason this understanding is so critical is that it allows you to see how important this process of awareness is to what you believe about your world. There is nothing more important than what you truly believe to be true. These Truths shape every bit of information enters your consciousness and in turn directs every bit of energy that goes out from you that affects and influences the world around you. How you decide to experience your world is key.

Do you see despair, hate, randomness, sorrow or fear? If you do you will certainly send an energy out that looks for more of it. It’s not your fault it is simply how life works. You must work to confirm what you believe to be true.

Or, do you see, opportunity, faith, perfection, joy and love? If you do you will certainly send an energy out that looks for more of it. It’s not your fault it is simply how life works. You must work to confirm what you believe to be true.

This is not about willful ignorance towards what you see, actually it is just the opposite. It is about knowing what you see and believing strongly in your power to change things to be more in line with what you desire to see in your world. This is when you will exhibit the true power that you have within to create more of the conditions necessary to experience these desires for your world. It always begins and ends with you.

Having empathy and compassion for others and their challenging situations? Yes. Exhibiting an inability to understand that there is perfection to all things and a losing hope and faith? No, not if you really want your world to change. You must always believe in more possibility from life and there is no better time than now to exhibit this belief. In doing so you may just surprise yourself with how fast and wonderfully your world changes.

The Essence of Gratitude

July 25,2011


Gratitude is a word that has been used a lot lately in teachings offering the “spiritual” path to others. It is especially offered as a concept to those looking to manifest more in their lives. The standard line is something of the order of “You just need to practice being grateful for everything you do have in your life”. Now, while it is true that a shift in perspective from an ungrateful state of mind to a more grateful state of mind helps one to temporarily feel more at peace, it is also true that any concept offered without the root understanding of the concept is likely to be misunderstood, misused, and lead to eventual frustration.

Gratitude is not a practice, it is an understanding. As a practice it is forced, as an understanding it flows. Therefore, it is always the deeper nature of self-discovery and self-inquiry that leads to a deeper and more expansive self-love that results in gratitude.

This is a love that comes from the understanding that right now You are the perfection of all your past perfect choices, thoughts and actions. If you hadn’t made all those past choices you wouldn’t be on the path you’re on now coming to the amazing understanding that you are leading yourself towards each and every day. You would be delaying your evolution rather than expanding and evolving, asking questions, receiving answers and transforming into more of a peaceful, conscious creator of your life and a powerful master of your reality.

True gratitude comes from the realization that every situation in every moment, as much as it can seem against you, is always and forever FOR You. For example, in this moment, who else could these words be for? How you choose to respond, react and feel, based on what you desire to create and experience in this lifetime is your “free will”.  You are the infinite and priceless observer and creator of life, and everything you can see, feel, touch, smell and hear is here to support you in your creative effort.

When you see all persons, places and things in your daily walk as the tangible matter that gives your life its meaning and growth, your judgments will disappear and the gratitude and love you have for all of it will know no boundaries. This is the gratitude that sees all as perfection, feels itself as part of the perfection and manifests from the unlimited and unrestricted nature of this perfection. From this state of grace the great mirror that is the Universe has no choice but to respond in kind…

With endless love & gratitude,
Howard

The First Step To Harnessing More Personal Power

October 05,2010

It has been said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Millions do this every day, even occasionally yours truly. Does this make us all insane? Not necessarily, unaware, scared, and tolerant of a lot of pain, but not insane. Why then the endless charade? Answer; the fear of and resistance to change. Change happens only WHEN YOU ARE FINALLY READY FOR IT. So the question to ask each day is, “Is today the day I will choose to think, act and BE someone different than I was yesterday?” At the end of each day you will know the answer.

Making the choice for a change in your life gets a lot easier when you realize that you will survive and possibly even THRIVE upon the change.  As I state in my new book, “I AM: The Power of Discovering Who You Really Are”, you cannot fool the universe. If you aren’t willing to change because of a fear that you will not be able to survive or make it through the change, you are demonstrating how limited you believe that you are. You are leaving the universe NO CHOICE but YOUR CHOICE. It must give you ONLY the experience of being limited, ONLY the experience of anxiety and fear, ONLY the experience of lack to match exactly with your belief.

For real change you must demonstrate a belief in a more unlimited and powerful self first, before the universe can grant you the experience of it. Have the hard conversation with your significant other, talk to your boss about a raise or promotion, finally be honest with yourself, get on a diet and exercise program, write your book, ask for help, send your resume out, pick up the phone and call your prospective client and then do all these things again and again and again until the conditions start to change in FAVOR of your truest desires.

There is no magic to creation. YOU and your powerful, demonstrated and continued belief is all the magic that is ever necessary. Your experience of life will change when you finally change. The world is truly and forever your oyster.

Answers Answers Everywhere!

November 14,2008

Every question that you ask has an answer that is available to you right now.

Experiencing this information is simply a matter of determining if you are you ready to face the self-reflection and new way of looking at the world that the answer will bring you. What this means is that even though you may be constantly asking the why’s and how’s of your life, you may not necessarily at the same time be ready to accept the answer the universe will present to you.  Nonetheless, the answer to your specific issue will surface as soon as you are ready for it. 

To be ready for this information you must be willing to see yourself in a slightly new and different way. One that allows in a new truth about the world around you and frees you from the previous limited view of yourself or the world that caused your question. You must be ready to drop the identity or belief that isn’t working for you. 

Each day you are presented with answers. They show up most predominantly in the thoughts and feelings that create you state of mind. They also come through the books you read, the T.V. shows you watch, the songs you hear, nature, all of your relationships and the passing comments from strangers,  Your whole world is designed to provide you with information that you ask for but must be ready and willing to let it in. As you read these words you might realize that you are bringing yourself an answer right now.

Accepting or not accepting the awareness you ask for is completely up to you.  There are no obligations but the ones you create for yourself based on your desires in this world. You are pacing the expansion of your awareness in a sense of time that is tolerable to you. Just know that the universe never denies you but only provides for you in your every waking experience. No moment is wasted.  What truth and answers you allow yourself to see in what is happening with your finances, relationships, family, job, health and general actions and attitude within life, is up to you.  

However, acceptance is the doorway to transformation,  When you are really and truly ready to experience life differently you’ll open to receive the exact message and answer that each event in life brings you. Even though you might fear what the answer means and how it will change your view of the world and of yourself, building the will and faith to step through the fear and accept the truth offered is what will liberate you to see that this expansion of mind and the peace it brings is ultimately exactly what you long for.  

At the core of it all is the continual message that you can and will overcome anything.
