Shift Your Perspective

Are you stuck in the pattern of thinking, "One day it will happen when the time is right, and I get it all together?" Do you tell everyone (and yourself), "I'm working on it?"

Do you realize that this is a form of procrastination and that the only way to "become something" is to "be it" right here and now, in the present moment?

In this episode, I will be discussing the Zen Paradigm, "Stop thinking and talking about it, and there is nothing you will not be able to know."

Why do we readily believe in the negative possibilities of life, that it is all we can expect from life? Why do we have a hard time believing in anything positive in nature, that it can't possibly happen for us?

How do you stand up to fear and believe in the possibility of positive things happening in your life?

In this episode, I will be discussing the Susan Jeffers quote, "We have been taught to believe that negative equals realistic and positive equals unrealistic."

Are you struggling to get by and living under the anxiety of how things are ever going to change? Are you sick of the way things are in your life; hell-bent on getting more?

What if I told you this is the wrong way to go about it, that this very attitude keeps you from experiencing a real change in your life?

In this episode, I will be discussing the Tony Gaskins quote, "To be content doesn't mean you don't desire more. It means you're thankful for what you have and patient for what's to come."

Go confidently and live the life of my dreams?! How am I suppose to do that with everything I have to do?

How do you create and live your dream-life when the "must's and should's" of life are weighting your down?

In this episode, I will be discussing the Henry David Thoreau quote, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined."

Self-love, we are told, is selfish, egotistical. Instead, we are told that we should self-sacrifice. The problem is, this is coming from those who are afraid to live their lives, to be themselves.

So how do break free from that harmful thinking?

Shelley Marenka of Inspired Living joins me to discuss how radical self-love leads to self-discovery, which then leads you to freedom, joy, happiness, and fulfillment.

We understand that weeds will overrun and choke out our lawns, flower beds, and gardens if we don't pull them up.

So why do we allow negative thoughts to remain in our' mind gardens' and freely encourage them, thinking they won't be harmful to us?

In this episode, I will be discussing the Norman Vincent Peale quote, "Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds."

Because the world has told us repeatedly that we are weak, limited, incapable, that our dreams are impossible, we have forgotten who we are and what we are capable of doing.

But also, if we intuitively know that we are Divine in nature, why are we acting like it?

In this episode, I will be discussing the Lao Tzu quote, "At the center of your being you have the answer, you know who you are and know what you want."

Do you think that life is unfair? Do you blame others for the condition of your life; the reason why your life isn't the way you want it to be?

What if I told you your life is the way it is because of the thoughts that you allow in your mind and turn into beliefs?

In this episode, I will be discussing the Franklin D Roosevelt quote, "Men are not prisoners of fate; but only prisoners of their own minds."

Are you still seeking happiness in things, people, or perfect circumstances, telling yourself, "I'll be happy when…"

Happiness will not, it can not, come from anything outside of yourself. It also will not come to you by writing out lists of things you are grateful for in your life.

So, where do you to find lasting happiness?

In this episode, I will be discussing the Marcus Aurelius quote, "Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking."

Are you trying to break bad habits - facing them, fighting with them? How's that working out for you?

There is a reason you are not successful in breaking those bad habits and behaviors, and it is the exact opposite of what everyone tells you to do.

In this episode, I will be discussing the Albert Einstein quote, "Without change in the pattern of our thoughts, we will be able to solve the problems we created with our current patterns of thought."
