Often times, our fear of failure keep us from trying something new or embarking on following our dreams. And yet, many of life’s greatest successes happen just a few steps beyond our perceived defeats. Acclaimed author, Paulo Coelo, wrote, “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
You are unique in all the world, there is only ever going to be one you. Your presence in this world is a miracle! Discovering who we truly are is a journey that invites us to examine our core values, beliefs, personality, and spirit. It provides us with an opportunity for a deeper understanding of our unique strengths, talents and shines a light on the path to building a life that brings you meaning and joy.
It’s human nature to want to be happy, but the question of where happiness comes from and why has caused human beings ponder for centuries. The film “Hector and the Search for Happiness” (2014), based on François Lelord’s novel of the same name, invites the viewer to join Hector (played by Simon Pegg), on his research quest to discover what makes people happy.
There are films out there that inspire and fill our hearts with joy because they help bring meaning to our lives by reminding of us our own exploration of what it means to be human. On this episode, Lisa and Michael share their joy and thoughts on this delightful film which invites the viewer to join Hector as he steps out of his comfort zone to embark on a larger than life adventure in search for happiness. In the movie, Hector learns a beautiful set of lessons and discovers insights that will lead to greater happiness which he records as a list in his notebook.
“Life is extraordinary, if you look at it with the eyes of Source. Life is ordinary, if you look at it with eyes of boredom. Look through our eyes means see our perspective. It is more meaningful, this life of yours when you do.” — The Teachers through Carol Collins
You are infinite potential! Just think about all the gifts you can bring to the world! Lisa and Michael are delighted to host Carol Collins, a pure, trance state channel for The Teachers, for a powerful and insightful conversation on how to awaken our ability to receive so that we can manifest that which we are wanting. On this amazing show you’ll discover how The Teachers are here to assist us in learning to embrace our extraordinary capacity to evolve in the way we see the world and to assist us with a deeper understanding of the gifts within ourselves. They are here to help us awaken to our infinite potential and encourage us to savor our life.
The Teachers say this, “You are not here to judge yourself or others, you are here to live fully, yet live alongside your Guide, . . . It is in this partnership that you learn who you really are and what you are capable of. . . . your lives will become easy to manage and easy to manifest whatever it is that you are wanting to explore and see and do and have and become.” When we begin to recognize how everything is interconnected; and embrace all parts of life with the attitude of gratitude it makes it easier for us to move through life’s challenges. We all have the ability to connect with our Guide,tuning into what your Guide is conveying to you enables us to gain an increased clarity in receiving that which we are wanting to manifest. The Teachers through Carol Collins helps each of us view our lives from a more meaningful perspective —“How do you get what you are wanting without efforting? Talk about it like you already have it in a way that used perfect, always, entire, all - and mine. It is what we call The Statement of Perfection and we give it to you. It goes like this . . . My life is perfect. My thoughts and my emotions are perfect. My family and my work and my health are perfect. I love my life. My life is perfect.” We love you.

One of our greatest challenges is to learn to love, trust and appreciate the decisions we have made, no matter what the outcome. The modern world presents us with some interesting new ways new opportunities for growth on a daily basis. The choices available to us are seemingly endless. These choices may bring with them emotions of excitement, joy, curiosity, satisfaction or perhaps the opposite feelings of apprehension, fear or loss. Regardless of the choice we make these emotions, whether conscious or unconscious are being fed into the quantum field that we are a part of. Join Lisa and Michael as they explore how to cultivate good feeling within so that we can use those emotions to law-of-attract greater things. Discover how placing our conscious awareness on loving all parts of our life without judgment allows us to draw in that which we are wanting.
We will be sharing our thoughts on the ocean of abundance, from which we draw and add, to that is available to each of us. The key is in recognizing the quantity and quality of our unconscious thoughts. As Lynn McTaggert, author of The Field wrote, “We need to realize that we are observers and creators, and in every moment that we are observing our world, we’re constantly remaking it at every instant, and that we have to understand too that every last thought we have, every judgment we hold, is having an effect whether it’s conscious or not. So of course the most important thing of all is to be aware of what we are thinking and to realize it has an effect on the world around us.” Wow! That’s interesting.
“A physicist visits a colleague and notices a horseshoe hanging on the wall above the entrance. ‘Do you really believe that a horseshoe brings luck?’ he asks. ‘No,’ replies the colleague, ‘but I’ve been told that it works even if you don’t believe in it.” ― Niels Bohr, Quantum Physicist

At some time in our lives, each of us has questioned how we feel about ourselves, our life and our future. It is natural process of growing and developing our value system of defining what is important to us. In the busy-ness of caring for others, we can forget that we have needs. We can become disconnected from our sovereign self. We forget that we are capable, courageous, lovable, worthy, whole and that we are enough. Join Lisa and Michael as they explore what it mean to reclaim our own power and transform our life. Lao-Tsu, Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching, wrote that, “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
We will be discussing how to draw in opportunities to transform our life through separating from the past, reclaiming our purpose and restoring our inner peace in the present. We can reclaim and reconnect to our own inner knowing to be the sovereign of our own lives. From Wayne Dyer, “We are never given the power to dream without the equivalent power to manifest that dream and make it your physical reality.” Our opportunity to transform awaits us all!
“The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, and act as if what you want is already there, the more you’ll activate those dormant forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality.” ― Wayne Dyer
Please take a moment to breathe in this inspiring wisdom from Marianne Williamson.
Our Deepest Fear
We are all meant to shine, As children do. We were born to make manifest The glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; It’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.

No great success was ever achieved without failure. Like it or not, all of us have had the experience of failure at some point in our lives. Even a baby crawls before they can walk and in the process of learning to walk, babies stumble and fall many times over. The simple truth is we all fall, we all make mistakes and during the course of our lives we will all experience our share of failures.
Join Lisa and Michael as they explore the life lessons of falling forward, how trying at anything and failing helps us grow as individuals. This week’s show was inspired by Denzel Washington’s 2011 commencement speech that he delivered at Penn University offering valuable advice on embracing failure. Denzel encouraged the graduates to “Fail big. Do something you are passionate about . . . and don’t be afraid to fail big. If you don’t fail, you’re not even trying.” He went on to say, “I don’t want to fall back on anything . . . If I am going to fall, I want to fall forward. I figured t least this way I can see what I am going to hit.” His advice on Falling Forward as a means of setting, achieving goals and obtaining success can serve as inspiration for each of us to look at failure differently. Inspirational writer Zig Ziglar wrote that, “It’s not how far you fall, but how high you bounce that counts.” It is our ability to bounce back or to fall forward that affords us the opportunity to create a future that otherwise would not happen. We invite you to redefine failure as a necessary step to success. When we find the courage to try, regardless if we fail in our attempt, it opens the door to amazing new beginnings!
“It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.” ― J.K. Rowling

Every reunion is unique and precious, whether it be a meeting with friends, family, classmates or co-workers. Reunions are important celebrations of roots, meaningful relationships and traditions that give us the chance to reconnect with our own history and values.
On this episode Lisa and Michael will be exploring how being reunited with people from our past can help us better understand who we are and how we got to where we are today. Reunions reinforce our common bonds, renews our friendships, and invigorates an appreciation of what’s uniquely wonderful about our being connected despite how life’s different but parallel journey has taken us on different paths. Reunions can revive our sense of belonging, give us pride in where we come from and help us to feel affirmed in knowing who we are. The connection of a reunion handshake or a shared hug can open an opportunity to add new memories to the precious experiences we have shared over the years. The simple joy of reunion is that it reminds us not only to celebrate the past but to give time to what and who we value in the present, connecting with love to our friends, classmates and family while they are still here is a beautiful gift.
