Become The Butterfly

Over the millennia of existence we humans have been controlled by many forms of structure, all of which we ourselves created out of fear. Originally designed for protection, these structures are really the very thing that keeps us experiencing lack and limitation. In other words, we have been our own worst enemy. Fortunately, all of that is changing now. As we have grown and expanded over time, we have arrived at the stage of enlightenment. Structure is now falling and we are getting glimpses of our own greatness while learning tentatively how to navigate in a strange new world. It is my intention in this hub to empower you with tools you need to not only navigate, but become a master at creating the life you always dreamed of, but felt deep down you did not deserve. I will show you how to release your old belief system and stories that no longer serve you and emerge into a life of freedom, peace, joy and happiness. If you think this sounds too good to be true I challenge you to ask yourself why you believe that and from where did this belief come, thus starting the process of self-examination. Ouch! Self-examination. Sounds a little scary, doesn't it? Self-examination is not for the weak of heart. It requires that one lets down all the walls he or she has built over many life times and look unabashedly at who you really are. Yes, it maybe painful, that is why we have kept them hidden for so long - to avoid the pain. But I promise you the fear of the pain is more painful than the pain itself. If you take this baby step with the trust of a child, you will begin to be aware of the beliefs that are keeping you down, keeping you in your tiny box - your comfort zone, if you will. Awareness is the first step in making a change. As you go through this process you will become the butterfly. You will emerge from your cocoon and fly!

Okay, are to ready to fly? Here is your first task. Start by writing down your beliefs. You will know some of them right off the top of your head. Others are buried a little deeper. Take a look at your actions and reactions to people and your life experiences. What do you deem right or wrong? They will be neon signs pointing to your beliefs. Then ask yourself honestly where this belief came from. Is it something you inherited and you believe by default or is it truly your belief? The last step is to ask yourself if this belief serves you today. Does it really support your life and where you want to go? From there you can decide whether you want keep this belief or simply let it go. Please share your insights with us. Let's begin to make a change in the world. You can change the world, you know. It all starts with you. Are you ready to take the journey with me?

You Are What You Believe

In the last capsule, we were talking about beliefs and how they limit our experiences and expressions in all of our lifetimes on earth. You may have found the task of identifying your beliefs daunting and challenging, so I thought I would give you examples from my experience. I had many, many beliefs that I didn't know I had as well as beliefs I said I had but my actions did not match. All of these no longer served me and held me back from the life I wanted to live. Here is a list of some of the beliefs that surfaced for me: no pain, no gain, you must work hard, you can't get ahead without an education, you don't get something for nothing and you can't have it all. I also believed that I was stupid and undeserving of anything good. These are beliefs I inherited from my parents and from society who's job it was to get me to conform and to keep me under control and powerless. These are all lies that originated from who knows who, but most of us brought into them without question to gain approval, acceptance and love from our parents, our teachers, our ministers, and so on. We want approval so bad we are willing to give up our lives to have it. But let me ask you this. In conforming to all these rules, do you really feel loved and accepted for who you are? For me the answer was no. Even at age 50, I just kept going around and around on the hamster wheel hoping someday the fairy tale would come true. I would bet most of you have had similar experiences, so ask yourself this; have you followed all the rules and believed in the lies and do you really have the life you always dreamed of?

Fortunately, beliefs can be changed. What is a belief? A belief is a thought you think over and over again. Did you get that? We create our own beliefs by our thoughts. Change your thoughts and you change your beliefs, and therefore, your life experience. We have discovered that our thoughts are really things that create our life experiences. Henry Ford said, "Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right!" Buddha said, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.” Or how about Napoleon Hill and his book Think And Grow Rich? We live in a universe of inclusion based on electromagnetics. What does that mean? It means that we are big magnets attracting life experiences to us based on our thoughts. If you belief there is no gain without pain, that will be true for you. If you believe you can't get something for nothing, or there is no free lunch you will be right. If you believe you can't have it all, guess what? You won't. If you believe you must work hard and struggle for every morsel you receive in life, you will. It is a way to live but it is not a life of joy, peace and freedom. If following the rules really worked it would apply to everyone. How do you explain the people who have had great success without being "good" by justifying their existence. We all know them. What is their secret? The secret comes down to how and what they believe about themselves and life.

The first step to becoming a master creator is to identify your beliefs and make a choice to keep them or release them. They are not true. You make them true by believing in them. I am giving you permission to take your power back and create the life you want. Create on purpose instead of by default.

Please share your experiences with this, It will help all of us move forward.
