Remember, nothing stays the same
That it’s a good thing,
We always evolve,
Change and grow
We always develop,
Learn and become
Take each thing as a lesson or a blessing;
Forever keep growing ❤

Discipline and focus
Discipline and focus allow for effective learning and adaptability in flow. If not for the discipline and structure then focus is scattered. There is then a lack of awareness and therefore inability to adapt, flow and grow efficiently in practice.
The discipline and structure should be aligned accordingly in order to learn the next step and movement. The adaptability that comes with it allows for necessary training and new things to be learnt with the awareness to apply where most appropriate.
If the ego or prior knowledge gets in the way then there is lack of awareness and an inability to adapt and learn effectively.
Without sufficient respect for the teacher/ mentor nothing can actually be learnt. Because of this the whole mind should be emptied and full awareness applied each and every time one is being taught.
The teachers knowledge is rightly far beyond what the student knows, therefore full awareness, discipline, respect and focus is always required.
Sidenotes
– Emptying your cup allows for full focus
– Self discipline is essential in order to learn and execute fully
– Without full focus one cannot learn and execute fully
– With full focus can adapt accordingly- when something is not working then have the awareness to change it. To be like water, adapt and flow.
– Discipline also shows respect to the art and teacher, also clearing the mind allowing for learning.
Trusting in your Intutition
Trusting in our intuition is something we often hear of and how important and useful it is for successful results. The challenge I often found was how do we know what is our intuition or what instead is fear of the unknown.
This has been a journey of realisation for me and I have found one of the most important things is to recognise your intuition (being within you) is very personal to you and your experience in how you learn to follow it.
With me it has taken me several times in ignoring it and then realising that I would have been better having followed it to realise the truth within. Since having learnt to follow it more things in my life are flowing far easier in the direction I want to go, not only that but I feel happier and more at ease in myself.
Following our intuition more often than not seems to involve going against what may appear the sensible thing and sometimes the thing we want to do, and in following it there can be some fear due to the unknown beyond it. Yet if we never step in to the unknown we may never experience anything other than where we have already been, we may never be able to experience that which we are seeking or create new possibilities and achieve our dreams.
If this is something you can relate to then from my experience I would say always trust your intuition, whenever I have not listened to my intuition it has only led me in to pain or struggle. Your heart always knows and it can very much be a head vs heart thing where it can take a while to learn to trust in your heart over your head and it does take courage, but I know I will now always be drawn to do so and I hope so for you too. ❤
In my words I would term it like this;
Follow your heart, it leads you to the unknown, where there are gifts you would never otherwise know.
Or as the great Steve Jobs said;
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you want to become.

Holding your vision
When we are on our journey of mission and purpose, we can sometimes get knocked off course, at times forgetting our real mission from the beginning, or even forgetting who we are.
I’ve seen this happen to others and almost allowed it to happen to myself. My message to you today, is to never allow this to happen to you.
Stay firm in your resolve and strong in your mission no matter what happens and most of all never forget your cause and who you really are.
In any situation we have a choice of how to respond, a choice of what to believe and what perception to take
For Example;
If someone attacks us because of their stuff we can choose to react in hurt and anger or we can choose to learn in gratitude, compassion and growth. The latter being a far more powerful place to be and one that will serve you as well as the world as a whole.
We always have a choice of what perception to take and we can never truly know where another persons behaviour originates. When we make a mistake which we all sometimes do we then have a choice to correct it.
We always have choice over our own behaviour and this means everything in terms of the causes we create and the change we can make in choosing to come from love, and from our mission and purpose.
What we choose, can become a part of our journey and how we look back on ourselves within our relationships or situations. We can and do however also change in each moment and there is nothing more certain than change and the possibilities of change.
So then the real question becomes; no matter what situation I find myself in, who do I decide to be in this moment? This is always our choice as well our greatest gift.
With this knowledge and position we can create anything.
We don’t have to repeat anything and we can become all we want to be. Then choosing to create ripples of magic wherever we go.
To hold on to the past or come from a reactive place is to effectively make a choice to live there and be swayed off course. Always know you’re more than that and that your path and purpose is worthy of your 100% commitment no matter what happens.
Then nothing is wasted or lost, only learnt from, we can then instead use our past to empower ourselves and others and strengthen our purpose and mission.
Each one of us has great potential and everyone has the potential to transform. From the power that is truly ours, the transforming power that we have within, to love and make a real difference.
In coming from this space and being the change, we then create ripples of love and purposeful living. Choosing to live at the cause instead of the effect.
Hold your vision
Hold your vision,
Always believe you can,
Act with unshakeable faith,
Without a doubt in your heart
You will always achieve,
Being the best that you can
Choosing your cause over doubt,
Always holding your vision
Deciding your fate
With your whole purpose and mission
~ M. L Adams
To quote Tony Robbins, decide today to live from a place where you are coming from your greatest power in every moment;
‘The greatest power within you, the power to love.’ ~ Tony Robbins
From there know that anything and everything is possible and you’ll always be protected.
Always ❤
Have a beautiful day of being and creating ❤
Spreading wings
Some things are far better apart,
Like the diamonds that are stars
Shining beautifully there on their own,
In the oneness of existence that’s here and all around
Some things can be hard to let go of,
Yet until you do, you can never be fully grown
All that’s held back from joining you together,
Will be free once more from this point right here
The freedom that comes in your oneness, is found even though your apart or near,
You do not not need him anymore
And you know this,
It’s time to let go; simply spread your wings
~ M. L Adams
Letting go
In accepting all as it is,
You’ll find true freedom from within
In coming from your heart
Through being as you are
This is your mission,
To flow freely;
To serve in all your being
This is your mission
To let go, to be here;
To live in love and freedom

Where you go from here
We can choose in any moment
To hold on or let go,
To give or to take;
Or to allow in defeat
We can choose in any moment,
Which way we want to go
In how to turn something around,
In what to say and what to sow
It is these choices now,
That give the power that we have
The way to shape our life from here,
A way to always come back
So no matter what, when or where,
You always have a choice in your hands,
Do you focus and move forward,
Or give in and fall back?
