Holding your vision

IMG_1560-0.JPG

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 ❤

Success

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Much has changed from the beginning to now and im sure it will throughout the next 100 posts. One thing I have really discovered is everything we experience is much better and richer when it is shared, we can all inspire each other in this way and I thank you all again for doing so too. I plan to release an e-book of inspirational poems as well as more insights in to my own journey very soon and will keep you posted on this.

Thank you all again

Every journey has value, gifts and lessons,
The journey is where true happiness lives
It cannot be sought or held, only lived,
Lifes for living, live for the journey.

~ M.L. Adams

Purpose

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

Opportunity

Every difficulty can be an opportunity;

Every struggle can be a strength,

It is what you choose to focus on

That will really get you through anything,

To a place where you thought you would never be;

To a place where your more than you’ve ever been

~ M.L.Adams

This is written with the belief and knowledge that every and any problem can actually be an opportunity, It all depends on our focus.

Sometimes the answer isn’t clear at first but there can always be a higher purpose if that is what you seek.

Please check out my positive message for health on this if you wish, thank you 🙂

Dreams

Become one with your goals and your dreams,
Not with what all else may seem
We get what we choose in this life,
No matter what surrounds us right now
When you choose faith over fear every time;
Your dreams will come true, without doubt
~ M.L. Adams

This poem is inspired by a post on the rocky story by an amazing coach and mentor of mine, please read if your also in need of some inspiration, it’s the best version I’ve ever read.

Never give up on your dreams, effort every day will go a very long way.

The way

I found on this way
All I seek is here to stay
It’s all within me; here inside
Yet I was seeking it outside

All security, freedom and fun
I contain right here where I am,
When I see it in others, I see it in me
When I inspire others, they inspire me

This is a sure thing I know it’s true
I know as well as knowing can do
This true way lifts higher than before,
This place I seek to show in everyway

All I do from here on in;
Will be from this place of love
The way where no limits exist,
The way where all beautiful souls co-exist

~ M.L.Adams

Believe in you

butterfly

This last week has been a really tough one for me, I’ve had to make a decision that would potentially change the course of my whole life. Hence a lot of poetry about decisions :). The whole process has brought up a lot of anxiety, this mainly I believe because I’ve had to spend all this time contemplating the future rather than living in the now,(as I prefer to do). Unfortunately at some times we can not be totally in the now and it is necessary to plan for the future.

I have had to face a decision on whether to let go of all I had gained in the last year and 4 months. Those of you who have read my post ‘ One Little Moment , One Transformational Year’ may have picked up on how meaningful this time was for me. Essentially it has been so meaningful that nothing in me wanted to give it up, other than fear of what the future may hold and those niggling doubts of whether I can actually make my dream work.

However, much stronger than this doubt and fear has been this inner driving force that I feel I now have, something that I had lacked for several years previous. This driving force is one that really comes from the heart and one that I’m having to learn to trust in completely because I know that  from this space life is far more beautiful and flows in a way that is at times difficult to describe, life in this way is on a far better or higher level than any time when we are living from should’s , external expectations or fear.

As Steve Jobs said; ‘It’s as though our hearts somehow already know what we want to become.’

Living from the heart somehow overshadows the fears or doubts in our life and brings with it only passion, realisation, beauty  and truth even in the most difficult moments. This is something that I can not let go of now I have found it and so I will follow my heart and passion in hope to inspire others to find and do the same. Whatever the future holds we can not know, all we can do is make the best causes in now and learn to trust in the truth of our hearts.

Trusting completely in myself I believe is a key part of my journey and it has made me realise too that there maybe many of us who struggle to follow our true passion and live from our hearts, because perhaps the external circumstances at the time do not support this decision. Looking at many people who have had to make such decisions in their lives, in their circumstances it is often just as difficult. They have sometimes risked losing everything for the sake of following their heart and dreams, The Rocky Story is one that immediately comes to mind and there are many more of them.

When we make a daring decision to follow our heart and dreams we can sometimes find that those we hoped or thought may support us don’t or they take some time to come round to it, I have seen this happen for myself and to friends, some of whom then become discouraged because of this negativity or doubt. I don’t believe our friends and family or others try to mean harm by this, I think it’s more that it brings up their own fears and doubts of what they could do but aren’t doing or haven’t done, on the plus side, the opposite can also happen where we can then inspire them to do this too. What Marianne Williams said in ‘Our Deepest Fear’ that It is our light that most frightens us.’ I know now to be so true, but fear doesn’t have to stop us in any decision or circumstance, unless we choose to allow it to.

Given this, I choose to follow my heart with every step and to focus on inspiring others to do the same whilst also focusing on those who do so already and who encourage me to do the same. So I’m  taking this leap of faith and trusting in my heart completely and after recognising the need for belief and support when making this type of decision I’d like to put a suggestion out there;

To all those who follow their heart or are looking to make that step,  if you are ever struggling give me a shout and I’ll be an ear to listen to you and to help you rekindle that belief in you just as others have done for me over the last year and much more so recently. On a larger scale as many of us on here are of the same mind-set of following our hearts and dreams, why not have a WP belief network where we can all encourage each other even more than we do already. Who knows what amazing things we can achieve when we all support and encourage each other in this way?

My main message from this experience for anyone reading this would be;

Never give up on your dreams,

No matter how difficult it may seem,

It doesn’t matter if  others don’t believe in you

Believe in you and your truth;

Then you are sure to find others who will do too

~ M.L.Adams

Set Yourself Free

Soar

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

 

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,

 

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

 

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

 

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

~ M. L. Adams
