Introduction

Twenty Strategies for a Life of Joy, Satisfaction and Success

To really advance one’s self and truly receive insight as to one’s power to create in this life... A journey of self-observation is necessary—step one in the process... to be able to see one’s self in each and every situation—to learn and to listen to how you feel in each and every moment in your life, is the beginning to waking up...

I am only just "waking up" myself and so to each and every one of you that take this journey with me now, I thank you. I am and will be, forever grateful to you for helping me learn and grow, for it is said that, “you teach that which you need to learn the most...

And so we begin this marvelous path to awakening. Awakening to the magic that is each and every moment of our lives... awakening to the miracles all around us in every choice... awakening to the miracles that living in a galaxy opens to us... awakening to the messages in nature, that if one is paying attention, all that is required to have a life of fulfillment and satisfaction is here, beyond what was ever imagined...

For it is all a miracle and it begins with a choice... everything in this existence is first a choice. Your choices create your reality. Recognizing and taking responsibility for what you have created with your choices is step two in the process of waking up.

Recording and journaling the reactions to these choices is step three. By recording what comes up after each of our choices, we can soon see a pattern, default patterns. Default patterns are the ones we fall back to automatically while we are "asleep." We do not even realize that we are making choices based on old "programs" that keep us stuck. The same results keep appearing while we expect something different. Frustration rules. Journaling the feelings that you feel when your default patterns appear and the feelings you get when you make new choices is critical. Through this process you can discover the power to create a new future in any moment.

Participating in a "safe group"—a group of others who are on the same path is step four. The key is to surround yourself with people who lovingly help you see what you cannot and most times, will not see. Others, who, in exchange for your sharing how they show up, agree to shine the light on what you do and how you show up for them. Most times—it is not what we expected...

It hits us like a deer jumping onto the highway, onto the path of a car traveling at 70mph! BOOM!!—It makes a sound, like a crash onto our consciousness—we are left dented and banged up for a while after learning this. It’s the participation in the group exercises and the homework assignments where we get to be observed and we learn how to observe ourselves. We notice our resistance to the process...

Observing what we are resistant to—learning, over time, that it is the very things that we resist that we must do—in order to have a future unlike the past...

Vulnerability is step five—opening up and sharing openly who you are and how you observe yourself, when you are ready, is key…unabashedly opening space for healing and new behaviors...

Step six is unlearning all that we have been previously taught—we have to learn new ways to be... we have to learn a gigantic list of things anew... gratitude, forgiveness, giving, receiving, living in abundance, denying lack, releasing, eliminating, loving, truly loving, letting GOD, letting go, faith, beginnings, endings relationship and many more...

We must be willing to go further than we have ever imagined previously with each of the above—we must be willing to let go of old ideas of what we believe each of these on the list above are... noticing where we experience a tightness signals a loosening is required...

When we awaken—we realize that we can train our mortal minds to see the miracle—to be happy even when the brain says initially "you lie", "you are not happy"... This was the case with me—I know that this is true. It is my experience even now—you only need to say, "I am happy, I am grateful, I am a miracle" and be prepared to say it over and over thousands of times for the rest of your life. Being awake requires practice, like going to the gym. It must become a routine. To build the "muscle" of possibility, to shut down the toxic voices of doubt takes strength that repetition and practice brings. It is why we call the homework "exercises."

We remember that we live in a galaxy—we are part of this miracle—we are part of this pulsating energy called the Universe, God, Source or the Divine—we are part of all the amazing cycles of nature—life, death, high and low, up and down, dark and light... Female and male... us—we are a miracle, apart of the total, a complete miracle...

We are it's creators—the sooner we wake up and see that everything in this life is a choice—that we have time in any moment to make new choices, ones that will guarantee us a new future. This requires an honest assessment of the past choices that have not served us well. We must be awake to see the default pattern, the program "under everything" that is really running us while we are "“asleep."

 Like a computer, we can "click on" the programs we want to run, we can choose our reaction or path in any moment but first we have to recognize there is a program "underneath it all," a program that we control. Brain needs only to be trained. You can choose to follow the program that you have running or you can “write one anew, one that serves your highest desires, dreams and goals. Which one is it going to be?

Imagine not knowing—being awake is a journey into "what you don'’t know that you don't know... I wish you a blessed journey!!!
