Success

How do you measure success. Is it enough to bring home a paycheck?  Do you make a difference?  Do you live your life with passion?  Do you stand up for what you believe in or accept that nothing can be done about it?  Do you want to be a part of the solution or are you a part of the problem?

I was spending some time cleaning up my office space and found a print out of “Steve Jobs and the 7 Rules of Success.”    I found them on the internet, they were written by Carmine Gallo, an Entrepreneur.

1.  Do what you love.  I think even though you may not be making a living doing what you love, you can still bring fire and passion into your work.  We have to find ways to keep touching our passion so that the fires don’t die out.  Find ways to breath new life into your life.  Take a chance.

2. Put a dent in the universe.  Be a visionary.  Don’t accept  that you can’t make a difference.  Have the strength of the mustard seed.

3.  Make connections.   Draw from all your life experiences.  Everything you learn and experience can help in areas that seem unrelated.

4.  Say no to 1,000 things.  Where do you really want to excel.  Focus.  Give it your best.

5.  Create insanely different experiences.  Enrich lives.  No matter what your business, serve with the intention of enriching lives.

6.  Master the message.  Learn to communicate and tell the story.  Find different ways to convey your ideas.  Help people feel the passion.

7.  Sell dreams, not products.  Help people achieve their dreams, they aren’t there to hear about yours.  They are there to reach their own dreams.  Selfless service.

Dream bigger.  See genius in your craziness, believe in yourself, believe in your vision, and be constantly prepared to defend those ideas.

Empowered

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant?  Gorgeous?  Talented?  Fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It is not just in some of us.  It is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

From A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson

To claim our power we must face our issues of authority and power. We must learn to trust ourselves not to misuse our powers. The stories we grow up with and the movies that we watch portray our conflict with power. The good and bad are always battling. The truth being that what we are observing outside ourselves is truly in the inner battle we live in some form or another.

Do you feel you stand firmly in your power? Do you manipulate others to get what you want? Maybe you don’t even try to get what you want? Have you given up?

I believe we have all found ways to manipulate for what we desire. What does it mean to be empowered?

Creativity

I allow my creative spirit to guide me.

Fearless

Parents often think that they are here to guide the little ones. When – in
reality – the little ones come forth with clarity to guide you.

— Abraham

I must say I wish when I was raising my children I knew then what I know now. We have to trust we are all on this journey together for a reason. Learning and sharing our experiences. Learning to trust our inner wisdom.

Children are so fearless until adults teach them to fear. Here we are as adults reaching for our child like trust and courage. Let’s go for it!

Bunny Release

Friday evening I herded three bunnies out the studio door.  It was fun to watch them hop out the door to enjoy their freedom.  Bunny #4, the wild child of the bunch, did not receive a personal escort.  He was no where to be found.  I went as far as taking books off the shelf to see if he got stuck behind them.  Didn’t find him there.  I did discover they had been on top of the books using them as, uhem, the library.  Not sure how much reading was happening there.  Certainly plenty of bunny droppings.

They may have absorb some knowledge amongst the books, so I will claim to have released educated bunnies into the world.

I left the door open to the studio and hope the Wild Child found his freedom.  Clean up in the studio will start shortly.  I hope I don’t find him there.

I haven’t seen any signs of the released bunnies, which is really a good thing.  They are masters at hiding.  I understand why they work so well with magicians.  They can disappear on their own.

I enjoyed my bunny rescue experience.  No empty nest syndrome.  Their good health and freedom give me joy to have been a part of it.

In Joy,

Reflection

Sometimes it helps to change your focus to see the world a little different and get a fresh perspective. It can open up new worlds and possibilities.

Escape

Haven’t updated you lately on the bunnies.  Didn’t release them this weekend.  I don’t think I’m ready or they are, except for one little guy.  He keeps escaping from the bunny pen.  It took me awhile to catch him tonight.  I stopped at one point and asked myself what I could learn from this situation.  I wasn’t exactly having fun!

I realized I was in predator mode trying to catch him.  Yea, I’d run also!

I stopped and connected with him on an energetic level.  Become the bunny.  Breath, relax, catch the bunny.  Hold him to my heart.  Put in the pen with his buddies and plenty of food.

I’m sure my friends with horses that follow the Parrelli methods will appreciate this.

I wonder what else they can teach me?

In Joy.

Going Out of Your Mind

Astrology Update

The astrology link above is an update for this weekend with Tom Lescher.  I find his interpretations to be fitting and in alignment with my experiences.

With that said the energy is one of uneasiness with what is.  Wanting to be “through it.”  Through what?  The transformation.  The discomfort.  I’ve found myself in that place of “I just want the change NOW.”  You know the place when you want to do something to make the change happen.

The message I get is to keep coming back to myself.  Take some quiet time.  Go within.  There’s no rushing anything.  Find the joy in the moment.  Take the time to meditate and be quiet.  It’s not all about being quiet, but that is helpful when you find yourself on the hamster wheel going around and around in your head trying to get out of your present circumstance.  Get in the habit or re-new your habit of being still.  Yep, that’s another way of saying meditate.

Why?  Meditation takes you within yourself to listen to the inner wisdom.  It calms the nerves, quiets the mind.  Keeps you from jumping off the cliff.  Meditation will help you allow the change to happen within.  Once the change happens within, you will find the change happening outside yourself.

More on meditation soon.

Baby Bunnie Update

I’ve had the baby bunnies for about 3 days now. I’ve done a little research and figure they are about 10-12 days old. They love to snuggle. I usually hold them for about an hour at a time. Relaxing in my rocking chair with them snuggled from my hand up my forearm depending on much they want to be in a bunny pile. I hope to some pictures here soon. The pictures I took of them yesterday didn’t come out clear.

This morning the smallest one crawled right into my hand looking for something to eat. For the first time he ate a good bit. Most of the time they don’t like the eye dropper and I can only get a few drops of kitten formula in them at a time.

Right now I think they are most thriving on love and a little food. That seems to be enough at the moment. As I sit with them my intention is to embody Mother Bunny energy and nourish them. It seems to be working.

I’ve raised baby bunnies a few other times. It has normally been one at a time and once I raised two. They love being close and snuggling. I’m glad they have each other.

The gift they have offered me is evaluating my feelings of responsibility. The difference between helping and nurturing and feeling completely responsible. It is a distinction that is helpful in many other areas of my life. It is easy to take on too much responsibility. It starts in childhood when we take on responsibility for our parents unhappiness. It doesn’t matter if they are unhappy with us or their own lives. We do what we can to make them feel good for our own survival. Then we can spend the rest of our lives trying to make other people in our lives happy out of habit.

So today is a new level of self responsibility and appreciating that ultimately everyone is responsible for their own lives. We can know these things in our heads, but until we can feel them and experience them they are only concepts. We must embody the lesson.

I’m grateful for the bunnies the universe asked me to assist. It is a win-win relationship.
