			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000080; font-weight: bold;">Are  you fulfilling your true destiny?</span><br />
<span> <!-- Al's Leading article --> <!--  --> </span></p>
<div><span><a name="al-article"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><br />
by Al Diaz</span></a></span></div>
<div><span>Have  you done what your Heart desires? If not now… when? Fulfilling your  inner most desires is what will bring you Joy into your Life. I’m not  talking about what you think you want or you think you need. I am  talking about what it is you feel deep down inside that you desire in  Life.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>In the  last newsletter I mentioned how my brother in-law suddenly passed away,  this morning I woke up finding out that Chile had a massive earthquake,  and as I type this Hawaii is waiting to see what happens if it will get  hit with a tsunami.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>So I  ask again…have you done what your Heart desires? If not now…when?</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I have  no idea where you are at in your Life… but if your Life were to abruptly  change today could you tell your Self “I accomplished most of what I  desired in Life”?</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>When  you fulfill your inner most desires it goes beyond just affecting just  you…it affects all those around you. Even your external reality shifts…  along with your internal well BEing.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Go to a  mirror and look into your eyes and ask your Self “What do you desire in  Life?” and “What will bring me Joy?” and listen to what your Heart  says. Once you have heard the answer(s) take a baby step towards  fulfilling that desire(s) and build upon the action you took.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Eventually  after a period of time it will all come to pass… but even if it doesn’t  at least you can tell your Self that you tried.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I ask  you to give this gift of Life your best… through your thoughts, actions,  words, feelings and emotions. Because you never know…what happens next.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>For our  best and highest good, all ways…</span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000080; font-weight: bold;">In An  Instant</span><br />
<span> <!-- Al's Leading article --> <!--  --> </span></p>
<div><span><a name="al-article"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><br />
by Al Diaz</span></a></span></div>
<div><span>In an  instant Life can change but what you do with those moments dictates how  your Life goes&#8230;</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>On  Monday evening the 11th my wife and I arrived home from 12 days in  Hawaii feeling pretty good and glad to be home. We both thought the  &#8220;Transformation Book Tour&#8221; went well and touched many Hearts plus being  with great friends and old connections.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>On  Tuesday I spent a relaxing day with my wife and enjoyed listening to her  laugh throughout the day and having that energy carry over onto  Wednesday morning.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>We were  on a roll and everything seemed to be going great…until Wednesday  afternoon when my wife received a call that her younger brother Eddie  had a stroke and was taken to the hospital. By the time Thursday morning  came he had 2 heart attacks and his brain had no more brain functions.  The decision was made to let him go and that early afternoon he  transitioned to the other side.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>The  rest of the day was spent on the task of starting the funeral  arrangements for a funeral service that for the most part nobody was  ready for.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>As we  were driving home that evening I thought to my Self just a couple days  ago we were on high&#8230;and now we are making funeral arrangements.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>All in  an instant&#8230;</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I  believe in the near future we will reflect back on this moment and  understand why everything transpired the way it did&#8230; but for now we  are going to make the best of each moment.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>The  reason why I am sharing something so personal with you is because it is  my desire for all to understand that Life can shift in an instant… in  all directions. That includes sadness and gladness, Love and fear, or  living from your Heart or ego. It can all happen in an instant…</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>There  is a mantra or a saying that I tell my Self “I have done what I have  done…and all that I can BE. Which is more than enough and for the best  and highest good of all…”</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>That  mantra prepares me for when Life shifts in an instant… and to fully live  as many moments as possible.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>For our  best and highest good, all ways…</span></div>

<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>“I  cross bridges with joy and with ease.”</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I love  “how to’s.” All the theory in the world is useless unless we  know how  to apply it and make a change. I have always been a very  pragmatic,  practical person with a great need to know how to do things.</span></div>
<div><span>The  principles we will be working with at this time are:</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<ul>
<li><span>Nurturing  the willingness to let go</span></li>
<li><span>Controlling  the mind, and</span></li>
<li><span>Learning  how forgiveness of self and others releases us.</span></li>
<li><span>Releasing  the Need</span></li>
</ul>
<div><span>Sometimes  when we try to release a pattern, the whole situation seems to  get  worse for a while. This is not a bad thing. It is a sign that the   situation is beginning to move. Our affirmations are working, and we   need to keep going&#8230;</span></div>

What I am doing right Now I wasn’t fully aware what was going on when it all started. As recently as 2005 I never would have dreamed of having 3 books published or leaving today for a book tour at the Hawaiian islands.</p>
<p>But it has to start somewhere…it has to start somehow.</p>
<p>So I ask you to live your dream…live your vision. Listen to your Heart and fulfill all that is for your best and highest good.</p>
<p>So as I embark on my “Transformation Book Tour” that I trust is phenomenally successful and for the best and highest good of all, let’s do it together so that you are living your destiny. I even welcome to share your experiences…</p>

<h2><span style="color: #003366;">&#8220;Transformation, Essays on Love, Healing and Water&#8221;</span></h2>
<p>Discover what 15 visionary authors consider important to transforming your life and our world. The wisdom and practical applications presented in Transformation offer true hope for our planet, all forms of life, and the collective consciousness of human beings.</p>
<p>The publisher’s brief was that they each had one brief chapter to write about “Transformation”, clearly and simply, so that the reader would understand and be able to utilize the wisdom effortlessly in their everyday lives.</p>
<p>Al Diaz author of “BEing: The Titus Concept” is one of the 15 chosen authors. In his chapter “The Power That Circulates Within Us”, Al reminds us that we are unconditional love, that it is our divine birthright. He shares with us a powerful and simple technique to help us bring that Life Force of unconditional love to the surface.</p>
<p>Art Kunkin, founding publisher and editor of The Los Angeles Free Press, says “I had the pleasant realization after reading Transformation that each of the 15 authors had presented themselves as a potential friend. Their stories were so open, so heart-based, so full of wisdom, that I knew any of them would welcome my phone call or email…”</p>

The following note is a response by a good friend of mine Santhan Naidoo in regards to what is going on with our world.

<p><span style="color: #003366;">by Santhan Naidoo</span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve traveled approximately 23712km (14733 miles) within the last two months. From Buenos Aires to London to Bruge to Paris to Istanbul to Tel Aviv to Bucharest to Johannesburg to Los Angeles and so on. I lived in the homes of people from all around the world, listened to their stories, shared their pain and celebrated their laughter.</p>
<p>That there is change coming to our world, yes we all agree. The nature of life is change. In this world, there are the opposites which have been playing against each other from the beginning of creation. Each has their season. There is a season of more light and a season of less light. Through both seasons there is always light. Even when the world is completely cast in shadow there is light.</p>
<p>What we see happening in our world is a transition to a new season of light. In this season the tree of creativity and love blossoms, and their fruits form&#8230;<br />

<h2><span style="color: #000080;">Living Your Joy</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">by Al Diaz</span><br />
Today I shared the following on my Facebook wall…</p>
<p><em>&#8220;By bringing forth the Joy from your Heart it will shift the energy of those around you which in turn will shift the energy with those around them. That is how powerful you are&#8230;what you emanate has an endless effect.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The response I received was amazing… almost like the light bulb went on. I got the impression that they were realizing just how powerful they are to make a difference in our world.</p>
<p>Do you understand how powerful you are? Do you kNow you have the abiltity to make a difference in our world? Reflect back when you have been angry, sad, or hurt what did that do to those around you? To some degree those who stayed around you were brought down with you and for those who were repelled by the energy moved away. That is the power of your energy… so if you live and function from the Joy of your Heart what do you think is going to happen?</p>
<p>You will welcome, receive, accept, experience and bring more Joy into your Life, and those that are repelled from your energy will just melt away.</p>
<p>Everybody else has the same ability as you do… which means that as others match and express the Joy that you do it effects those around them and the ripple effect continues on and on&#8230;</p>
<p>This ripple effect can happen at any level and every part of our Life thus having the ability to shift or raise the collective consciousness.</p>
<p>Please read this again and understand what is BEing said…because you are an amazing gift to our world and can contribute so much.</p>
<p>You are the one we have been waiting for… we are the ones we have been waiting for. We have arrived.</p>
<p>For our best and highest good, all ways…<br />

<h2><span style="color: #000080;">Developing the Wisdom of the Heart</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">by Phil Lane Jr.</span></p>
<p>A wise elder once told me, &#8220;Grandson, the longest road you will ever have to walk is the sacred journey from your head to your heart.&#8221; Another elder said, &#8220;We will never solve the many critical and life-threatening issues before us solely through the intellect; for every problem the intellect solves it creates ten more.&#8221; Unto itself the intellect is a sacred gift of the Creator, but, equally, without an open, visionary, and creative heart, there is no wisdom. Both the mind and heart are sacred. Both are inseparably connected.</p>
<p>To help us develop the wisdom of the heart, the wisdom of peace, we must turn to Mother Earth. &#8220;You know Grandson, the Great Spirit, Wakan Tanka, has given all people wisdom,&#8221; my grandfather told me. &#8220;To every living thing he has given something special. Some people receive their knowledge and understanding through books. In your life, Grandson, you too must read and study books, but remember to take with you on your journey only those things that bring more unity within yourself and others, that bring goodness and understanding and help us to serve one another in better ways.&#8221;</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you are happy and at peace where you are at in Life then I congratulate you!</p>
<p>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…</p>
<p>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…</p>
<p>For our best and highest good, all ways…<br />

<p>The publisher’s brief was that they each had one brief chapter to write about “Transformation”, clearly and simply, so that the reader would understand and be able to utilize the wisdom effortlessly in their everyday lives.</p>
<p>Al Diaz author of “BEing: The Titus Concept” is one of the 15 chosen authors. In his chapter “The Power That Circulates Within Us”, Al reminds us that we are unconditional love, that it is our divine birthright. He shares with us a powerful and simple technique to help us bring that Life Force of unconditional love to the surface.</p>
<p>Art Kunkin, founding publisher and editor of The Los Angeles Free Press, says “I had the pleasant realization after reading Transformation that each of the 15 authors had presented themselves as a potential friend. Their stories were so open, so heart-based, so full of wisdom, that I knew any of them would welcome my phone call or email…”</p>

<h2><span style="color: #000080;"> </span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"> by Diane Chambers<br />
</span>For most people, deciding what to do in life is a pretty tough decision, and one that requires more than a few moments&#8217; thought. Maybe that&#8217;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?</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d be able to afford a nicer car if my boss would give me a raise.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The factory laid me off, so the bank foreclosed on my house.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;She got the promotion because she&#8217;s always kissing up.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s not what you know, but who you know.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;They hired a snot-nosed kid right out of college to be my boss.&#8221;</p>
<p>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&#8217;s fault.</p>
<p>Before you can identify the need and desire to make a change, it&#8217;s imperative that you get past the blaming stage. Blaming keeps you in the past.</p>
<p>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&#8217;ve created for yourself by failing to believe in your potential.</p>
<p>To overcome this obstacle, you&#8217;ve got to allow yourself the luxury of dreaming. If you&#8217;ve been struggling for some time, it might be tough to begin this process, but it&#8217;s free and can be a lot of fun.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #000080;">Transformation</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">by Al Diaz</span><br />
Everything in our universe is always changing, shifting or evolving. It is the natural state of BEing. But knowing that is not enough… it’s whether you do it consciously or unconsciously.</p>
<p>Listen you can let Life dictate to you what is going to happen or you can take your Life and dictate what you desire or require thus evolving for your own best and highest good.</p>
<p>That is your choice… that is the “free will” that many others have mentioned. To make informed decisions or choices you have to raise your level of awareness or understanding otherwise you will just keep running into brick walls. To have a path of ease and grace is to kNow and trust who you are and what you are that comes through the understanding of Self awareness.</p>
<p>This is a continuing process… of shedding the old and reborn with the new.</p>
<p>Our world is shedding the old and bringing in the newness of possibilities and the reason why that is happening is because many are consciously making informed choices and decisions that contributes to the collective consciousness. We all can help create a new world…a world that is for our best and highest good.</p>
<p>Transformation… let’s all do it on purpose. So the end result is what desire and require for our best and highest good.</p>
<p>Transformation… it is time.</p>
<p>For our best and highest good, all ways…<br />

<h2><span style="color: #000080;">Measuring Success</span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">by Chris Widener</span></strong><br />
As I have worked with people over the years I have seen an amazing thing. People often get frustrated because they aren’t achieving “success.” There are lots of possible reasons for this but one reason I have found that sticks out is that many people allow their definition of “success” to be driven by someone or something else.</p>
<p>Instead, we ought to be looking at our own skills, opportunities, life situations, etc. to determine what it would mean for us to be a success in our own mind rather than someone else’s.</p>
<p>Thus, the key to “success” is all in the head—our head! We develop our own thinking about what it will mean to become a success.</p>
<p>The frustration comes in when we look at what someone else thinks is a success and try to attain it, only to find it elusive&#8230;</p>

<div><span>We are blessed to kNow each other and for that I am very grateful! It is all about Love… and how powerful we emanate that energy. Others will pick up on that vibration, our experiences will reflect that energy, but most importantly what we do for our Self will indicate just how much Love we allow to flow through us.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Love is available to us in every moment and we don’t have to seek it outside of ourselves or from anyone else. The Love of the Creator is already planted within us… a seed that desires to blossom and all ways grow and expand.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>All we have to do is allow it to BE… the essence that is the Life force of the Universe.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>It is your Divine right.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I wish you amazing holidays&#8230; and a phenomenal New Year! I trust that all you desire and/or require comes to pass&#8230; thank you for BEing an amazing gift and a blessing for our world.</span></div>

<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I&#8217;ve been thinking lately of how I could put together a list of success principles based on my travel achievements. I&#8217;ve lived a pretty adventurous, courageous and successful life travelling the globe. You don&#8217;t do that unless you possess certain qualities and character traits. I wanted to put together something as to how anyone could apply these same principles to other aspects of their life and achieve the same success. Success principles work no matter what avenue you use them for.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I sat down to think about it and put some ideas together when I reached a blank. I thought I would come up immediately with a list I must have had to get me travelling around the world but no list came. I reflected deeply on all the countries I visited, all the experiences I had, the people I formed friendships with and I said to myself &#8220;Okay Caroline, how did you do it? How did you have these incredible adventures to 33 countries and live in 5? What was it about you that gave you the ability to do all that?&#8221;</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>My response was &#8220;I just did it!&#8221; &#8216;I just did it&#8221;. There is no other answer&#8230;</span></div>

<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;">But from what I have been guided to is to Love them as they are… and see the Light of who and what they really are. In other words look beyond the influences that has shaped them or look deeply within them penetrating the persona they have created and see their original innocence.</span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;">Loving someone as they are comes from non-judgment, acceptance (doesn’t mean agreement), a healed perspective from our part, and unconditional Love. In doing so that is how we guide and water the seeds that are already within their Heart and it provides the impetus for the desire to shift and change or they eventually will no longer be part of our immediate personal Life because of a vibrational / energy mismatch.</span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;">The bottom line is that who we are reflects back to us from others in some form or another. Life is a mirror of what is going on within us… so be the change or shift that would like to see in others. Loving others unconditionally will guide them to Love themselves unconditionally… and that doesn’t come from ego. What can be better than that?</span></span></div>

Have they come out of your mouth at times? Do you believe that luck is something that happens to some and not to others? That some people &#8220;have it&#8221; and others don&#8217;t? </span></span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;"><br />

<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;">What is luck? Webster&#8217;s Dictionary tells us that luck is: &#8220;the seemingly chance happening of events which affect one.&#8221; So luck is not haphazard &#8212; it is a &#8220;seemingly&#8221; chance happening of events. </span></span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;">We are aware, metaphysically, that we draw to us those people and events that we are really meant to have in our lives. This may appear to be bad luck as in the case of an injury. Yet we attracted those circumstances for the lesson (gift) they brought. The same goes for good luck. We were willing to believe and open to receive so &#8220;good luck&#8221; came to us. </span></span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;"><br />

<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;">Life is what we make it and so is luck! If you are willing to believe, really believe in miracles, then they will take place in your life.<br />

<h2>BE the Light of the World</h2>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>by Al Diaz</strong></span></p>
<p>Keep pursuing your dream or vision… at least keep it alive by occasionally thinking about it.</p>
<p>If your dream or vision has been put in the back burner and perhaps fizzled out take some time to write it out on a piece of paper and place it somewhere that you will occasionally read it.</p>
<p>To BE who you are is to BE the person you were meant to BE. In other words there is Love, Peace, and Joy that exists within the essence of who you are. You bring about that Love, Peace, and Joy by utilizing the gifts, strengths, and talents that you were born with, and that is a big difference in comparison to the ones you have learned since birth.</p>
<p>Your original innocence is your true Self… which is different than the one you have become from the external influences you have accepted.</p>
<p>Reflect back to the simple experiences that brought you moments of Love, Peace, and Joy when you had time all to your Self. When it was just you and Life. Moments that no one can take away from you because it was just you… only you.</p>
<p>You see those are moments you created on your own with the help of the Universe, in those moments you were living your true essence and not caught up with the external influences of others. There was no good or bad, right or wrong, it was just you experiencing the Love, Peace, and Joy of the experience.</p>
<p>Let’s come back to Now… create for your Self a few minutes a day where you are BEing from your Heart’s desires. In doing this it will move you towards BEing closer to realizing your dream or vision. So obviously the more you do it the more freedom you create for your Self, thus allowing you to break the shackles that no longer serve you for your best and highest good.</p>
<p>When you fulfill your dream or vision you contribute to shifting the energy of the world… but most importantly you BEcome the perfect energy that is already you, the essence you were meant to BE.</p>
<p>I look forward to look into your eyes and see the Light of the world, and glad you are sharing your gift&#8230;</p>
<p>For our best and highest good, all ways…</p>

<h2>Learning To Have Faith In Yourself</a></h2>
<p>Nick Arrizza M.D.</p>
<p>How many times have you heard successful people say that one of the most important lessons they learned on their journey to success was having faith in themselves?</p>
<p>Now for many this is not only a tall order it&#8217;s what blocks them from ever succeeding.</p>
<p>What does it mean to have faith in one’s self? Well basically it means the ability to recognize the value of what it is that you came here to contribute to this planet.</p>
<p>Now many might say that they don&#8217;t even know what it is that they came here to contribute. If that is you, you are allowing yourself to fall into a state of self doubt that is undermining your connection to your inner wisdom and therefore the awareness of that purpose. You see everyone has a purpose in being here and you simply need to reconnect to it. <a href="http://www.ilumine-ao.com/2009/12/02/achieving-success-learning-to-have-faith-in-yourself-by-nick-arrizza" target="_blank">read the full article&#8230;</a></p>

<h2><span style=" color: #000080"><a name="al-article">The Power of Gratitude<br />
</a></span></h2>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">by Al Diaz</span></h3>
<p>Why would I want to be grateful for all of the junk that is going on in my Life? How can I be thankful for all of the uncomfortable things that are going on in my Life? What is there to appreciate when the stuff that is going on doesn’t feel good?</p>
<p>Better yet… how do you expect me to move forward or think positive when I am to some degree scared?</p>
<p>I have been through and lived every one of those questions at some time or another…</p>
<p>It has happened with relationships, money, health, mental and emotional roller coaster rides, and even near death experiences. But, years later I am still here hitting the keyboard for this article.</p>
<p>As I reflect back everything that transpired in my Life had to happen in order for me to BE where I am today. It provided the opportunities for me to grow and evolve, and the chance to present to others my newfound wisdom. Don’t get me wrong there are some experiences in my Life that at the time I would have preferred to not have been through… but somehow I managed to get through them.</p>
<p>If there are a few things I can tell you that will get you through whatever you are going through here they are…</p>
<p>Think back to an experience where you thought it was as tough spot to be in and somehow you persevered and as time went on for the most part everything turned out ok. When you are in an uncomfortable situation kNow that as long you keep taking some action to move forward somehow, someway everything is going to work out.</p>
<p>The less you live in the past of regrets the more you can live in the present which is the most powerful moment to create or recreate your Life. Right Now is the only time you have, right Now is when the past can’t be changed and the future is yet to come. Right Now without the past or the future there are no regrets or worries.</p>
<p>Trust that you have the ability, resources, people or whatever is required to get you through any experience. Whatever it required you had enough to get you to this point in your Life, look for them because they are there for you to have and utilize for the rest of your Life.</p>
<p>But most importantly emanate the energy of any situation as BEing for your best and highest good by telling your Self just that…”it is all for my best and highest good”. Because that is when you begin to shift the energy of the experience… and when it is all said and done say “Thank You”.</p>
<p>“Thank You” is when you reclaim your power back instead of giving it away to fear, anger or hurt. “Thank You” is a vibration of acceptance and surrender without giving up and despair. “Thank You” is a signal to your Self and to the Universe that you are closing that chapter and ready to walk through the door of another opportunity that you rightly deserve.</p>
<p>And “Thank You” is what I tell you for BEing who you are…</p>
<p>For our best and highest good, all ways…<br />

&#8220;Allowing is the Key&#8221; by Ralph Carpio</strong><br />
As I stated in my latest book &#8220;BEing The Titus Concept&#8221; to &#8220;allow&#8221; is to have the Lifestyle that you desire or require. It is already there for you to have&#8230; from you Heart.<br />
For our best and highest good, all ways&#8230;<br />

<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="fcolor: #000080">by Ralph Carpio</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">ALLOWING IS THE KEY. That, in a nutshell, is what I learned is the key to life, to creating your own life. Those four seemingly simple words are the basis of the power we can harness in life to use for our benefit. It took me many years to learn the power of those four words. The best way to begin is to illustrate an example of what I am talking about in the telling of this short fictional tale.</span></p>
<p>There was a lone wanderer who had been traveling for many days and had grown weary. One day he stumbled upon an abandoned cabin in the woods. Night began to fall as he peered through the cabin window. Deciding no one was occupying the space, the lone wanderer stepped inside and began to undress.</p>
<p>Finding a small cot in a corner of the room, he tiredly rested his head upon a pillow. The last faint streams of sunlight illuminated a wooden chair a few feet from the cot. Upon the chair the man viewed an object. It sat coiled on the chair perfectly still.</p>
<p>A rattlesnake, the wanderer deduced and began to shiver. His fear of snakes, born in childhood, rose up inside him. The wanderer remained very still as the sun dipped completely below the horizon. His eyes stayed fixed upon the chair throughout the night.</p>
