Speak Your Desires, and Your Truth Emerges - and Nothing Prevails Against the Truth

Talk only about your desires. What you focus on, you strengthen.

I often give these instructions in my Unleash Your Calling workshops. But of course, on weeknights, with my best girlfriend, when no one is paying me, and the moon hangs low, I allow myself to whine. Well, just a little.

But the other night, I did the exercise I often assign in workshops. I told my friend to keep me talking about what I loved, and not let me interrupt myself with why I thought I couldn’t have it. She did her job and I did mine. I spoke aloud my latest desires, dreams, and excitement for 8 minutes straight.

Now keep in mind, before I began the exercise, I was not in a positive place. I told my friend I was going to ignore “realistic” concerns about this particular desire. I would turn off the sirens for 8 minutes. I also told her, in very grave rational terms, just to get it off my chest, before I dived off the deep end, that my desire would sound inflated and hallucinatory. I didn’t have high hopes for where this exercise would take me, and started feeling for all the students I’d ever inflicted it upon.

Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai Passes

African heroine, human rights advocate, environmental activist and Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Keynan-born Wangari Maathai, has passed away at 71 after losing her battle with cancer. She left behind a large legacy that included planting millions of trees making a huge impact on the environment.The following  - her own words - characterizes what this amazing woman stood for:

“We can work together for a better world with men and women of goodwill, those who radiate the intrinsic goodness of humankind. All of us have a God in us, and that God is the spirit that unites all life, everything that is on this planet. It must be this voice that is telling me to do something, and I am sure it’s the same voice that is speaking to everybody on this planet – at least everybody who seems to be concerned about the fate of the world, the fate of this planet.Today we are faced with a challenge that calls for a shift in our thinking, so that humanity stops threatening its life-support system. We are called to assist the Earth to heal her wounds and in the process heal our own.”

Allowing Now

10 Million Clicks member Paul “Wildcat” Sutherland sent us his beautiful inspirational video and explanation of the concept of  “allowing”.

Allowing is thinking about what you want truly want from life and then letting it go. Releasing it to the Universe and trusting that the Divine Source will deliver that which you desire. It does not mean that no action is required or that you wait and expect things to happen. However, those actions will be right actions when you allow and flow peacefully through life.
