Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it,
You surround yourself with people who make you laugh
Forget the bad and focus on the good,
Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don’t
Life is too short to be anything but happy
Falling down is a part of life,
Getting back up is living
– Jose Harris
The all that always is

Trusting in the way 💕🙏

So often we can be held back and not understand why, we may be aiming for goals and dreams and something just keeps getting in the way or the same situation keeps re-occurring.
If you understand what I’m talking about here then you’ll understand equally how annoying it can be, especially when you seem to be doing all the right thing but something just keeps coming up to get in your way.
Just what is it that causes this?
The answer to this is often quiet simple, it is old worn out limiting beliefs that are stopping us from achieving our goal.
And why?
Well it is most often caused by some event that happened in the past where we have attached a story and subsequent meaning to it, which has then becomes a belief. This belief can either then empower us or limit us and for some time a belief usually will always serve us in some way, often as a form of protection. What then happens is that we continue with this underlying belief even if it no longer serves us, but we hold it to be true, because based on that experience and our perception we really believe it is.
The only thing is now this old worn out belief not only limits us but also affects our perception in many areas of our life and also in our relations with others. In any area we feel limited in some way or where there is recurring issues this is often the case.
After doing The Landmark forum a couple of weekends ago I came to realise some of my own disempowering old beliefs and have decided it’s definitely time to let them go. Most of all is that in the context of today these beliefs are quiet silly and not necessary for me anymore. It is only because they were developed from a young age, that this was how I perceived the world then and then unknowingly held on to it subsequently limiting areas of my life that I’ve been wanting to develop. When I realised this it was super empowering but I also found it humorous how I’d held on to some limiting belief patterns for so long (better to laugh than cry :).
To be held back from something I decided so long ago seems so absurd but we all are doing and have done this for a large majority of our time. We then effectively keep repeating our past in to our future and therefore limiting ourselves and hence why we also get these recurring situations even if we are focusing on something different, the belief will always win somehow.
When we discover our false beliefs and decide to let go of them we can create a whole new possibility rather than repeating old patterns or limitations that are no longer serving us. Its definitely one I’d recommend considering. What old beliefs could be holding you back from your new life of possibility?
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?

Today has been an amazing new years day, looking forward to new goals and beginnings whilst continuing on projects over from last year too. I always love new year because of the energy everyone has with the potential of what we can be and become.
It brings alive the field of possibility in knowing that we can change habits we no longer need and become all we want to be, it’s often just maintaining this energy that can be the challenge.
That’s why I believe its so important to have this focus of what is possible consistently, to always be searching for new ideas and opportunities. To treat every day as if it is a new beginning just as we do at this time,  because really it is. Everyday and every moment is a new beginning and anything is possible when our view expands enough to see all that is available to us.
The only thing that ever limits us is ourselves and our view of what is possible for us to do and when we focus daily on something that we may not have perceived possible, who knows what opportunities will come our way. I was a little disappointed at the end of 2014 that I had not achieved all I would like to have done but at the same time I know I have learnt so much. For all that is important as part of my journey and I achieved and experienced things that I never could have planned.
Most importantly from 2014 I learnt;
New learning as well as achievements are all part of our journey of growth and the beauty in life, we never can fully plan everything. We can however be sure that when we go with the flow towards our goals we will be heading in the right direction.
‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho is a perfect example of this, and in the end it is always about realising our potential and surprising ourselves with possibilities we never knew we could find.
I’m determined even more this year to be open to all new possibilities and opportunities whilst on the journey to achieving my goals which is why this year pubic speaking and any opportunities in this area will be a big part of my goal. Please watch this space for video uploads 🙂   I wish you all the best success and lots of wonderful opportunities on your journey this year too. Happy New Year to you 🙂 Lets make this year amazing.
There is no end, only beginnings,
Every moment, is a new beginning

Purpose is focus,
All else is secondary
I will learn who to trust,
Who will come and who will go
In what is right, here and now,
From the depths of my soul,
Then all else will fall away;
Until I reach my ultimate goal
~ M.L.Adams
To wait on another is to give away your soul to another
To give over control to another is to pass away your faith to another
So take your control back, take your power back;
It’s the only way forward and there is no way back
Â
Take action based on the best for all,
Not on where others may rise or fall
No matter how much it hurts, just do what is best
For there’s only one way forward and there’s no way back,
Â
You have met with many a struggle before
Now you have the knowledge and you know this way forward
All is new and welcome in this place
All you have to do is choose this true way
Â
Know what it’s like to be in that zone
To be all you can, with all that you know
To own your own life and not be owned by another
You have all you need within you you see; all that you need to now set you free
Â
So choose this higher and equal way, choose the way you want to face
The choice is yours and yours alone
Don’t wait on another to show you this way
We are in control when we choose to be, so take that step now; it will set you free
