As a follow-up to our last episode, “The Devil Made Me Do It,” we will be taking a comprehensive look at this profound difference: “created on our own” excuses and blame versus personal responsibility, an important ingredient in the recipe of Co-Creation. Since personal responsibility and excuses/blame cannot exist in the same space, we’ll explore practical ways to eliminate the tendencies to deflect, shift and minimize while increasing our appreciation of the power of personal responsibility when it is infused with God’s guidance.

Warning: EXCUSES ARE HABIT-FORMING! Perhaps we’ve grown used to believing that it’s always someone or something else’s fault that we haven’t succeeded. Maybe we’ve convinced ourselves that we really don’t have control over our actions, our decisions or our future. Let’s stop the excuses and the blame games and start down a new path of personal responsibility. Co-creation with the Higher Power of our Understanding isn’t possible if we don’t hold up our end of this divine partnership. Let’s make today the day we stop blaming the Devil and start blessing our God-infused power!

What did you accomplish today? Did you add love and understanding in situations you encountered? Did you take another step toward the completion of a co-created goal? Did you make a contribution of time, talent or treasure to the life of another? If your answer is no, it’s time to stop allowing one day to fade into another and another and another. Join us as we share how to apply the Universe Responding Spiritual Model for Life to make every day matter and every action reflect your co-created best!

Forgiveness doesn’t just happen on its own! When we passively sit by when we should be actively engaged in forgiveness, we are participating in an unsteady truce motivated by fear rather than working with our Higher Power to co-create resolution, release and peace. The longer we just watch hurts, anger and blame pile up, the more we damage ourselves. This program is filled with ideas to help us co-create our world where forgiveness becomes our proactive response.

Who are these wonderful young souls with whom we are entrusted? How should we communicate with them so that they are able to understand the concept of co-creation during their youth? If a child can learn to THINK, BELIEVE, LISTEN, ACT, and ACKNOWLEDGE as early as possible in life, how might it change her or his behavior, self-control and priorities?

Many of us either belong or belonged to a religious denomination. Because religion and spirituality are often viewed as different concepts, how can we best use these affiliations to increase our ability to co-create with God? This program examines the differences between religion and spirituality; why religion alone often leaves many of us feeling “spiritually empty,” and how religious traditions can be used to grow and support our spirituality. Note that these programs ARE NOT a substitute for professional assistance and therapies.

This episode begins a series which applies the Universe Responding Spiritual Model For Life to “real life” challenges. Throughout this series, we will explore how to co-create solutions with our Higher Power to address several issues. Please note that these programs ARE NOT a substitute for professional assistance and therapies. Our first episode discusses how we can use this spiritual approach to develop an ongoing attitude of love, forgiveness, happiness and joy, and how to deal with life experiences which might extinguish such positive emotions if we permit it.

How do you “set your intention?" Do you do it in a vacuum, deciding first what you want and then concentrating on it with all your might in the hope that you will attract whatever it is to you? Or do you add the most important ingredient to your recipe of manifestation—a co-creation approach that relies on God’s guidance? In this episode, we discuss how to work with our Higher Power to discern and decide what our intention should be and, once set, how divine guidance continues to show us how to manifest its results in our lives.

In our last episode, “Victim to Victor,” we examined how we can trick ourselves through fear, false belief and a lack of initiative into believing that we are a victim. We reviewed the “vocabulary of the victim” and how when using these words and phrases in our thought-word-thought relationship, they can sink us deeper into that destructive mindset. In this episode, we move on to an array of practical solutions, using our “Co-Creation Toolbox,” which stops this cycle and permanently lifts us from victimhood into the co-created life of a winner—the life of a victor!

Taking responsibility for our role in the co-creative process is essential if we are to experience excellence in our lives. Valleri examines why and how we sometimes avoid doing our part in this process. Learn how to discard a “victim” mindset and overcome those emotions, excuses and fears which keep us from moving forward. Then fill that vacuum with discoveries of new approaches that bring us a victorious result—that of achieving our “co-created best!”
