Several years ago I experienced a paradigm crash—everything in my life
shattered into more than a million little pieces—following the death of
Justin, my youngest child at the time. Almost every decision that my
husband and I made seemed wrong. But, after many months of traditional
grief counseling, spiritual development and a circle of phenomenal
friends who refused to give up on me; I began to reevaluate my life and
my values and I made a decision to create a new vision for myself and my
family. I came to the conclusion that In order for me to move forward
in a dynamically effective way—a way that would position me to live an
exciting and meaningful life I had to determine a new ideal for myself
and the process had to start right where I was—with me. A paradigm crash means the end of a particular life game, and in order
to move forward you must create a new life game to direct your
life-flow, your positive life energy. 1. "Who am I" I asked myself
2. "Who do I want to become?"
3. "What do I want to contribute to the world?" I had to determine my ideal and create a new life game, a new reality
for myself and my life. A determined ideal is much bigger than a goal,
although goals are instrumental in reaching your ideal. A determined ideal is a clear, three-dimensional, holographic picture
you hold in your mind's eye of who you are, how you want to live your
life and the life-flow that is suitable for your well being. It's a
strategic life plan to help you to make good on the vision you hold in
your mind's eye for your new life game. By creating a new ideal for your life it allows you to direct your
energy into a new productive game. This new game provides you with a
sense of worthiness which gives you your self-confidence and power back. Without a determined ideal—a new game to direct your life energy into
you lose your power. It becomes fragmented and dispersed into
insignificant tasks, resulting in busy-ness that adds up to nothing! Because we are wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
friends, professionals, entrepreneurs, community leaders and spiritual
beings, we must determine our values and how we want our ideal life to
flow. Trust me, I do understand that many areas of our lives are
important, but what do you really value? What do you really want to
contribute to your self, your family, your friends, your community, and
to all of humanity? HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR LIFE TO FLOW? Your inner essence is waiting to express itself fully—it is waiting for
you, darling—to unfold into your best-balanced life; your real life—YOUR
REAL SELF. After determining your ideal for your best life, your daily decisions
and actions will become more meaningful, manageable and enjoyable. You
will have the tools to bring everything back into perspective and
alignment when things began to slip off balance, reminding yourself what
is important in your life based on your determined ideal. Determine your ideal, darling, then create an inspired and inspiring
life for yourself—a life that you will absolutely love. I'm doing it,
and millions of others are doing it as well, and I know you can do it
too. Don't let anything stop you. Are you ready? |
