What Do You Want? by Jack Canfield

Fulfill your true destiny by living your Heart’s desires…it feels great! Read this great article by Jack Canfield.

What Do You Want? by Jack Canfield

People who have achieved their goals knew what they wanted in the first place. They decided what to go after, and they went after it. One of the most compelling reasons why people do not get what they want is that they never decided what they wanted! They never defined the desires of their hearts in complete detail.

Why don’t you know what you want? Why isn’t it spelled out in detail in your mind? Most likely, it is because you have lost touch with the desires of your heart. You were probably taught that you couldn’t have whatever you wanted. You were probably taught that it was more important to do what made other people happy. Seeking your happiness was considered selfish, so you learned not to define your happiness. Now, you find yourself completely unaware of what your preferences are, how you really want to live your life, and what your goals are for your life.

Take back your life! Start honoring your preferences, no matter how small they seem. Even if you don’t know what you prefer, pretend you do, and make a decision. You’ll be more keenly aware of whether that decision made you happy or not and you will learn your preferences!

Commit to this new belief: You deserve to have everything exactly the way you want it. Make it a priority to begin to know your wants and desires. Start simple by making a list of things you want to do and things you want to have. Keep writing until you find some of your core values, such as wanting to have loving relationships, to make a difference in your world or to be financially secure.

Think of what you love to do with your time. Write down several things that you love to do, and then make a list of all the ways you can think of to be making a living doing those things. Create a detailed description of the vision you have for your ideal life. Don’t limit yourself. Dream as big as you possibly can from your perspective right now.

In detail, what is going on in the financial area of your life? How much money do you make? How much do you have in savings and investments? What about your real estate? What kind of house or houses do you own? Create detailed visions of all the major areas of your life, your ideal career, your recreation time, your ideal body and physical health, your relationships with family and friends, your spiritual life, and the community in which you live. Create and write down your ideal vision for each area and review it on a daily basis.

All you have to do at this point is clarify your vision to yourself. Don’t worry about how it will happen right now. Once you have a clear picture of what you want going through your mind, the steps and opportunities to get it will appear. When you have completed your ideal vision of your life, share it with a supportive friend. Don’t let anyone talk you out of it! More than likely, they want the same thing for themselves but believe it’s impossible. Deciding what you want is the first step to getting what you want. Don’t put off creating your vision!

More Than Potential

Volume 38, January 15th, 2010

More Than Potential

by Al Diaz
You represent more than potential… you are a fact in the making. You have the innate ability to make a difference in our world but most importantly make a difference in your own Life.

That potential you have is unique to you that no one else can do or have. Others may seem to be able to do what you uniquely do and maybe even come close or similar… but there is something very special with how you do it.

That is your gift… the natural born gift you came here with. Utilizing that gift is how you will fulfill your destiny; it is the power of your BEing and one of the reasons you will look forward to another day.

Even when you are going through uncomfortable situations or experiences your gift will get you through them, but do you even know what your gift is? Most people don’t… for most people what Life presents to them they think that is how it is suppose to be. I will take it a step further that perhaps they think that others are just luckier or blessed and a better Life is not for them.

If you are happy and at peace where you are at in Life then I congratulate you!

But if you have an inner feeling that you desire or require better then it is up to you to have a “Transformation” in your Life. It is up to you to make that decision or choice for a better Life or a better world. It is up to you to raise your level of awareness so that you will change or shift for a better you. It is up to you to BE all that you were meant to BE. It is up to you to utilize your natural born gift…

When you make that choice and live that choice then you will have made the “Transformation” and exceeded your potential to truly feel the Love, Peace and Joy that you desire…

For our best and highest good, all ways…
Ilumine Ao,
Al Diaz

It’s All Up to You

by Diane Chambers
For most people, deciding what to do in life is a pretty tough decision, and one that requires more than a few moments’ thought. Maybe that’s why so many of us avoid thinking about it. Besides, when we simply react to life as it presents itself, we can make life itself responsible for what happens to us, rather than taking any responsibility ourselves. How many times have you heard the following statements?

“I’d be able to afford a nicer car if my boss would give me a raise.”
“The factory laid me off, so the bank foreclosed on my house.”
“She got the promotion because she’s always kissing up.”
“It’s not what you know, but who you know.”
“They hired a snot-nosed kid right out of college to be my boss.”

These seemingly good excuses often elicit a sympathetic response, but if you examine them closely you will find that they contain a common thread: everything is someone else’s fault.

Before you can identify the need and desire to make a change, it’s imperative that you get past the blaming stage. Blaming keeps you in the past.

No matter how much you believe in your excuses, you simply cannot deny that your success depends on the choices you make. You may have a tougher time than others because of barriers beyond your control (race, gender, age, and so on), but probably your toughest obstacle is the one you’ve created for yourself by failing to believe in your potential.

To overcome this obstacle, you’ve got to allow yourself the luxury of dreaming. If you’ve been struggling for some time, it might be tough to begin this process, but it’s free and can be a lot of fun.

Do you have doubts or fears?

by Al Diaz
With most of my co-hosts that I have on my radio show I ask questions that to me seemed relevant to what is seemingly going on in today’s world.

All the questions stemmed with things such as gas prices going up, foreclosures with people’s homes, the economy, relationships not doing well, and even the health situation for many of us.

Each co-host usually indicates on how they are handling this supposed “chaos” in their lives using their own techniques, but the one thing I noticed is that all of us speak about one common aspect and that is to Love ourselves.

Listen whatever doubts and fears you are having right now and it doesn’t matter what they are, the only way you are going face them, go through them, and get pass them is to trust your Self enough, and the best way to trust your Self to get through these times is to first Love your Self unconditionally. I have been there… and I have been through them.

Whatever you desire or require in your Life whether it is financial, emotional or in health it all comes from within you and it will come at the level that you feel worthy of, so that is why it is so critical for you to Love your Self at the highest possible level, because then your high vibration will bring to you the resources, situations and people to have what you deserve.

Love your Self unconditionally…if not now, then when?

For our best and highest good, all ways.

Ilumine Ao,
Al Diaz

HEAVEN #2989 The Blessings of the Universe, January 30, 2009
God said:

It is not exactly your duty to be happy, because happiness does not come on demand. Nor is happiness exactly your purpose because happiness rather tags along. What you can do right now in this moment is to recognize that happiness is your birthright. Simple happiness, beloveds, belongs to you. Call it what you will, it is yours, and you are meant to have it. Have the idea, beloveds, that you are on vacation in life. Perhaps you have been feeling that you are on sufferance, and so you have been trudging along the streets of life when you can just as well skip and dance.

Give yourself as an offering to the Universe, and decide that you have set a course for peace and joy. Have the idea that you have set a course for the fulfillment of your desires and Mine. Have the idea that you are steering your life in a direction that blesses you and blesses the world. Have this idea in the back of your mind.

It is possible that My children have had the idea that sufferance is the lay of the land. Have a different idea. Have the idea that life is not to be put up with, but to uplift. Uplift the world, and you will be uplifted. Nourish the world, and you will be nourished. And as always, beloveds, no calculations. No counting. No adding up scores. Simple freeness of giving and accepting. Be on the lookout for the world you desire. Easily be on the lookout.

You already know what the feeling called happiness is. You have more than an inkling. And now you can have even more of a taste of this seemingly illusive happiness.

Once you have tasted licorice, and you love the taste, opportunity for more licorice will present itself. Is that not so? You will be more attuned to licorice. You will be more on the lookout for it, not as a have-to but as a light awareness of licorice as you like it. You will sense that licorice is on its way to you. Without thinking about it, you will be on the lookout for it.

This is not a venture you have to succeed in. Happiness does not require effort. You do not have to achieve it. In fact, happiness is not something that can be achieved. It can only be welcomed. Have a simple acknowledgement of your appointment with happiness and the fulfillment of all desires. You are not certain when and where you will meet, yet you are certain you will meet.

Perhaps instead of the word happiness , we can say the word freedom . Oh, to be free! Whatever the world may do, whatever confinements it may think of, you can free yourself from thoughts that bind you. You can be free to anticipate rather than turn away from. You can be free to anticipate rather than fear. You can be free to be free and to have more than what you may consider your share of happiness. Allot yourself more. Allot yourself more and more often and deeper and longer lasting. Allot yourself an allegiance to your own well-being. Represent yourself well.

When you set a course, you are halfway there. When you have set a steady course for happiness, certainly you stop at ports to pick up others. Maybe you are the boat whose course is set, and you sail along, happy to serve, happy to furrow through the waves, a happy boat picking up passengers and sailing the bounty main. You are on your way. What is there to think about? Your course has been set, and now you are all set to receive the blessings of the Universe.

Signs from the other side

by Al Diaz

I have taken my time to post this… I guess because I was waiting for the inspired words to write about the subject matter that this post is all about. The fact you are reading it tells me there is something in this post for you also.

I have heard in movies and from others that say there are signs everywhere, and that they are here to support you, guide you, and even assist you. But in order for any of that to happen we have to be aware and open to receive, accept, and experience them.

Somewhere along the line a few years ago I became aware and open to Life’s signs of support, guidance and assistance, and everyday my awareness grows and everyday I see, hear and understand more of them.

I was blessed to have some of the greatest gifts or signs recently happen in my Life. It all began on the evening of April 16th last year when my mom transitioned that afternoon and it was her time to go home of the Creator. To some degree my family and I were expecting this to happen sometime that year, but we just didn’t know when.

To be honest there were many signs that were presented to me and with most I only realized the significance after some time and reflection, and I will share a few with you.

Not long ago my mom lived with us and outside of her bedroom sliding glass door was a garden of roses that she loved, every time they would blossom my mom was thrilled and delighted at the sight and smell of roses, usually though there would be about a dozen roses among all of the rose bushes.

On the evening of the 16th the electricity in our master bedroom went out and my wife jokingly said that this was my mom doing. I went outside to go and check out the breaker box which meant I had to walk past the rose bushes that I mentioned earlier and noticed in the darkness that the bushes had a lot of color in them. After I had taken care of our electrical issue, I again had to walk past the rose bushes and this time consciously paused to literally see dozens upon dozens of roses everywhere! My wife and I stood there in awe looking at this amazing sight and smell. Never in the time we have lived in our home had this ever happened.

A few days later after the funeral services we had a gathering of friends and family at our home where I was going to present a surprise and opportunity for all in attendance. We gave everyone a white helium inflated balloon and had them write a message to my mom. As we were preparing to finally let them all go at once, we looked up and saw a hawk who was floating motionless right above us and staring right down at us, and that is all it did! We all just stood there and stared at the hawk while it stared at us until about 4-5 minutes later I decided it was time to let the balloons go.

Most of the balloons stayed bunched up as the afternoon breeze ushered them skyward, but once they got close by and to the level of the hawk the balloons paused for about a minute and just stayed there. After that minute the balloons went on and passed the hawk to form a Heart and then reconfigure into a smiling face with eyes, nose and mouth, and heading skyward.

This magnificent experience was seen and felt by about 40-50 of us, and today we are all still talking about it and what our perceptions were of the whole event.

Though I won’t go into full detail I know that everything that I have indicated in this post are signs to guide, support and assist me from this day forward and through my mom’s transition.

The hawk being a gift from God read all the messages when the balloons paused in front of him, and the hawk became the messenger for all of us that day.

My message to my mom:
I love you mom!
Together let’s rock!!
For the best and highest good of all…

Being The Saint Next Door

by Alan Cohen

I met a musician named Jack who grew up in Harlem and played jazz at local night clubs in the 1950’s. “I jammed with my friends a lot,” he told me. “One of them was Charley Parker.” Jack laughed and added, “Just think — I hung out with one of the jazz greats of all time. I had no idea the guy playing right next to me would one day become a legend.”

Jack got me thinking. Every great person, from Galileo to St. Francis to Martin Luther King Jr., grew up as a normal person and did normal things with normal people. Probably none of their buddies expected that these souls would one day change the course of life on the planet and retool the destiny of humanity.

What if someone close to you, maybe your best friend, turned out to be a hero to millions? “Oh, that couldn’t happen to anyone I know,” you might answer hastily. But perhaps the friends of young Louis Pasteur might have spoken equally hastily.

The seeds of greatness can sprout anywhere, through anyone — sometimes in the least likely situation. I know a hypnotherapist who was approached by a man seeking hypnotherapy for his seventeen-year-old son who was having trouble with his golf game. Feeling this would not be a valuable use of her time, she turned the man down. “I’m sorry, Mr. Woods,” she told him, “I won’t be able to see your son…”

Years ago I played in a band with a fellow named Ernie, who was a regular kind of guy. I lost contact with Ernie for a number of years, and then one night he showed up at a friend’s house. When I asked Ernie what he had been doing lately, he offered this astounding account:

“A few years ago I went to see a friend in South America, and one evening a neighbor came to visit. She told me she had a headache, and I asked her if she wanted me to pray for her. I did, and she felt better. That night she came back with her daughter, who was suffering from menstrual pain. I offered the girl prayer, and she experienced relief. The next night the woman was back, this time followed by all of her relatives! Hoping I could be of service, I prayed for them. The next day half the town was lined up for healing. After I came home I received a call from a town representative who told me that the people would pay my air fare back if I returned. So I did, and now I go back regularly; they fly me from town to town in a helicopter.”

Upon hearing this story, my first thought was, “Ernie? Last year a bass player, this year a saint?” I had a hard time reconciling the two pictures, but then I realized I had a choice: I could negate the good that he was doing, or I could rejoice in the blessings. It felt a lot better to be excited about his success than to be cynical about it.

Now here’s the kicker: the saint next door could be you. What is a saint, but someone who lets the light of his or her spirit shine purely and creatively? If you’re not quite ready to go for sainthood, then perhaps you would simply settle for greatness. Or success. Perhaps that book you’ve been playing with in your mind; that song, or that painting, or that labor-saving device, is not some random thought, but a divinely-inspired vision. Perhaps every great invention or seminar started with just one little seed thought, and the difference between living a life of struggle or fabulous success and service, is simply that some people believed in their idea, and others didn’t.

In 1985 I was invited to participate in a citizen diplomacy trip to the Soviet Union, and the organizer asked me if I knew anyone else who would be appropriate to attend. I immediately thought of my friend Patch Adams and sponsored him. On the trip Patch met actor Mike Farrell (of M*A*S*H) fame, and the two became friends. Fourteen years later Hollywood produced a major motion picture of Patch’s life, and it was produced by: Mike Farrell. Little did I know, as I invited Patch to be on the trip, that I was participating in a link-up that would affect millions of people, as well as raise considerable funds for Patch’s free hospital (Gesundheit Institute) in West Virginia.

It is said that anyone can count the number of seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed. Actually, there are an infinite number of apples in a seed; how many actually come forth is a result only of cultivation. At this moment there are infinite number of ideas and talents within you, ideas that can change your life as well as that of millions — who knows, maybe the whole planet. The saint next door may very well be you.

Volume 18 ~ August 27, 2009

Last night I met a vibrant and very aware lady named “Cynthia” who is in her mid 80’s. As she introduced herself I was mesmerized by what she had to say…she was telling my friends and I about how she has been successfully using alternative modes of thinking and healing for over 40 years!

As she talked about her experiences that have happened over the years including those with her loved ones it dawned on me how much perhaps “courage” Cynthia had to even consider alternative thinking and healing 40 years ago. To “trust” herself and know she was doing the right course of action. I am even willing to bet that there were very few accepted “gurus” compared to what we have now, so for the most part she was self taught and basically doing on the job training outside of mainstream thinking and healing.

But somewhere along the line she listened to something inside of her…something that that led her to become an expert at what she does. Cynthia is so good that last night she showed me a technique of “brushing” to get rid of the pain with my sprained ankle and to my amazement within a few minutes the pain was almost gone!

Cynthia discovered her gift and then proceeded to live it.

It took me over 40 years to realize why I am here…but now I am living my God given gift. I would Love to express my Self in my Life time to inspire others the way Cynthia did last night so that those who listen will fulfill their destiny for their best and highest good.

So I ask you to discover and know what your gifts, strengths and talents are…then use them to bring value to this world. It will bring joy into your Life and with many others…because having Cynthia and others open doors for us back then has made it easier for all of us to fulfill our dreams.

For our best and highest good, all ways…

Ilumine Ao,

Read All the Books by Jim Rohn

All of the books that we will ever need to make us as rich, as healthy, as happy, as powerful, as sophisticated and as successful as we want to be have already been written.

People from all walks of life, people with some of the most incredible life experiences, people that have gone from pennies to fortune and from failure to success have taken the time to write down their experiences so that we might share in their wealth of knowledge. They have offered their wisdom and experience so that we can be inspired by it and instructed by it, and so that we can amend our philosophy by it. Their contributions enable us to reset our sail based upon their experiences. They have handed us the gift of their insights so that we can change our plans, if need be, in order to avoid their errors. We can rearrange our lives based on their wise advice.

All of the insights that we might ever need have already been captured by others in books. The important question is this:  In the last ninety days, with this treasure of information that could change our lives, our fortunes, our relationships, our health, our children and our careers for the better, how many books have we read?

Why do we neglect to read the books that can change our lives? Why do we complain but remain the same? Why do so many of us curse the effect but nourish the cause? How do we explain the fact that only a small percent of our entire national population uses the library card they possess – a card that would give us access to all of the answers to success and happiness we could ever want? Those who wish for the better life cannot permit themselves to miss the books that could have a major impact on how their lives turn out. The book they miss will not help! 
And the issue is not that books are too expensive! If a person concludes that the price of buying the book is too great, wait until he must pay the price for not buying it. Wait until he receives the bill for continued and prolonged ignorance.

There is very little difference between someone who cannot read and someone who will not read. The result of either is ignorance. Those who are serious seekers of personal development must remove the self-imposed limitations they have placed on their reading skills and their reading habits. There is a multitude of classes being taught on how to be a good reader and there are thousands of books on the shelves of the public libraries just waiting to be read. Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary. We must not permit anything to stand between us and the book that could change our lives.

A little reading each day will result in a wealth of valuable information in a very short period of time. But if we fail to set aside the time, if we fail to pick up the book, if we fail to exercise the discipline, then ignorance will quickly move in to fill the void. 
Those who seek a better life must first become a better person. They must continually seek after self-mastery for the purpose of developing a balanced philosophy of life, and then live in accordance with the dictates of that philosophy. The habit of reading is a major stepping-stone in the development of a sound philosophical foundation. And in my opinion it is one of the fundamentals required for the attainment of success and happiness. 

To Your Success, 
Jim Rohn
