Dream to Rise

Without action, passion yields no worthwhile results. Passion is the fuel in the fire of action. When you have passion for something, you love it even when you hate it. So, what is passion?

A desire fueled by passion will bring about the greatest results in life.

When you do your work with passion, then you surely wish to do it with full precision. So, when you are passionate about your work, then you always put your best step forward and ultimately you achieve excellence in it.  Passion can push you through difficult times because you don't care what it takes to become better. We all have the ability to create whatever kind of life we want.  The secret to living the dream is hidden in our passion and what we do because of them.

Finding what you are passionate about is a journey in itself. Don’t be frustrated if you don’t feel like you know yet. Keep trying new things. It will come even if you have to build it. If you find your passion, or find yourself not on its trail, don’t give it up.

What if you know what you have a passion for, but you don’t do anything about it? This is the main problem with passion. You can have all the passion in the world for something but if you never do anything about it, that passion is useless.

Don Sevcik, impacted 7.2 million students in 235 countries with 100 math problems.  Yes, he is the founder of MathCelebrity, which is the fastest math tutor we currently have.  His passion to help the children made him achieve greater results.  But how did he do it?  Listen and discover!

Seeking self-worth through the approval of others is not the best way to go through life.  It is exhausting!

So why do we do it?  Why do we allow others to dictate us and have so much power over how we feel about ourselves?

Others crave for love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others.  This may be healthy and allows us to make connections.  However, the time we get into trouble is when our self-worth is based upon whether we win someone's approval or not.  How do we practice self-love gratitude?

Can trauma lead to a successful life?  

Major life transitions include a wide range of events. A life transition is a large move, going back to school, a breakup, grief, or having a child, and many more. These transitions often lead to past traumas rearing their ugly heads. Women are frequently faced with the struggle of going through a life change. They are expected to balance this while recognizing after-effects of previous abusive experiences. After-effects that are both physiologically and physically effective.

Even trauma from childhood can continue to cause stress and mental health challenges later in life. Recognizing these connections can often help reduce the fear that comes along with previous trauma transitions.

Trauma has many negative effects, yet some people find meaning. 

Listen to Olivia Bolt's story on how she changed her way of thinking when she learned how to love herself despite the bullying and the negative treatment shown to her by other people.  This boosted her self-confidence, increased her self-worth, had more meaningful relationships, started her own business and now impacting other people.

Have you imagined yourself in a wheelchair trying to cross a busy intersection, negotiate a steep curb, trying to enter a building or some form of transportation, or attempting to enter a bathroom that fails to accommodate you?  How do you feel?  Sometimes helpless, frustrated, angry and sometimes, you would like to quit.  Beside from these and countless similar situations being inconvenient, they are very disempowering. They send the message that you’re not a worthy human being.

People with intellectual disabilities also suffer similar types of discrimination on a daily basis. Their challenges are different, but they too are treated in ways that are very shaming and disempowering.

Whether their disability is the result of a traumatic accident, a stroke, a neurodegenerative disease, a genetic condition present since birth, a debilitating medical condition that has developed, or some other cause, this should not stop you from moving forward to make a difference in the lives of other people who are in the same situation.  

I am just amazed by Deborah Vick's life story who is currently has multiple disorders which are considered rare but took this path to help and serve others through her 3Ds (determination, dynamic, dialogue).  Discover her life story as an entrepreneur and rare disease advocate able to inspire and empower a lot of disabled brothers and sisters, nationwide, as well as globally.  

According to her, each one is beautiful despite their challenges because we have something to contribute to the society.  Believe in yourself and keep trying! 

I just wonder how successful people and our elders made so far? I am sure, they were once like us, maybe thinking there wasn’t any light at the end of the tunnel.

As I look and observe the people I interact with, each one has its own story to share. A story to inspire and empower others that life is a journey. A journey that we have to go through. Yes, we experience successes and challenges. But how do we perceive our challenges? Are they punishments or opportunities for us to grow and become better?

The flight of every person’s life is a sine wave, some days we have a surplus of hope and other days, we question our purpose. Why are we here on earth?

The light is the destination but going through the tunnel is the journey. What matters is the journey because light will always be there at the end of the tunnel but not everyone will accomplish the journey, because some tunnels are long while others are short. The key here is your willingness to take that uncomfortable action so change may take place. That’s how you see that light. Fear will always be on our way to block us from reaching our destination, and that is our dream.

Learn from Edward Pike how he was able to go through his challenges, discovered who really shines the light at the end of the tunnel, and now living the life he loves in a beautiful place, which I call paradise in Crete, Greece.

What do you think is the first step towards creating your dream by design?  Do you think success is simply a mental state?  

That is the power of envisioning.  This is a technique to empower your mind and sculpt your reality.

Is envisioning the same as creating a vision?  Visualization is about creating visual aids that can accelerate learning and in turn, the achievement of your goals.  Envisioning involves meditation to look inward and create the right set of circumstances for your success.  This is to learn more about how to create the life of your wildest dreams.  Actually, these are different techniques that can help you manifest your dream and live the life you love.

Jordan Dunning has been applying the technique of envisioning and being consistent.  This helped him reach his dream at a very early age.  Discover what he has achieved at the age of 24 and still continues to create more dreams not only for himself but for his family and for others.  He will share with us his important message on how to make your dream a reality.  Join us!

How would you feel if you were told that you had the power to make your wildest dreams come true?  The truth is you can do it! Each one of us is full to bursting with limitless potential, capable of transforming all of our dreams into a beautiful reality. What is the key to unlocking this startling power?  

Listen to Giovanni Furnari who was able to pursue his dream of becoming an artist and a writer, living with nature in one small town in Australia.  He will share with us how he made his dream a reality.  He still has a set of goals to accomplish in a year, but now looking at ways on how to craft his future so he may be able to manifest his dream.  Come join us and discover!

How would you feel if your goals are still kept a fantasy and unable to achieve them?  Do you feel frustrated?  Unmotivated?

Most of the time, we just quit and move to another goal whenever you experience struggles.  Why do they quit?  Because they don't want to experience pain, hardships and would prefer to stay within their comfort zone.  Going through the struggles, which include fear, will make you the person you want to become - full of confidence, growth mindset, positivity and more fulfilled.

Teresa King will share with us how she was focusing on her business that is doing very well, then suddenly her son got shot.  Fortunately, her son survived but is now paralyzed from waist down.  I truly understand how it feels for a mother to experience such trauma, especially if it involves their children.  But what did she do that made her view life in a positive way?

All her business plans had to pause for a while so she can focus more on her son.  According to her, "A delay is not a denial.  Don't ever think that you cannot manifest whatever the universe has planned for you.  You can!  You may have to pivot your life a little bit.  But don't ever quit!"

May I ask you .  Do you quit easily?  Do you consider it as an option?

As we go through our life journey, we experience so many struggles and challenges because of the decisions we've made.  However, don't let that stop you from creating and living your dream.  Why?  Because every result, whether a failure or success, would lead to growth.  We learn something new.  Listen how Rob McGowan, turned his darkness into a spark of light which is now spreading to the people he meets.  He is now using God's gifts (songwriter, poet, artist and radio announcer) to impact others.  You would surely know that your dream is aligned to God's plan because He blesses you more so others may benefit.  Is your dream big enough that you need help from God?

One of the reasons why we are unable to manifest our dream is because we tell ourselves and others that we're too old for this.  I don't have the required skills to be able to learn new things.  Again, fear and limiting beliefs were the major blockages of Susan.

Let us discover how she was able to turn things around and now pursuing her dreams and still has more to add at the age of 74.
