Perception Re-visited

Way back when I first began this journey on my true life path, I posted a blog titled "Perception". It was originally posted April 29/2012 and needless to say, a lot has changed for me and a lot has probably changed for all of you and the world we inhabit together. Due largely in part to the phenomenon just mentioned and of course thanks to a few recent happenings, I am once again "moved" to re-visit this most amazing topic of perception. All things being equal, I could probably post about perception daily as obviously it controls each and every one of us and what we do, see and think. Make no mistake about it, Perception is reality and if we can gain control over our perception, just imagine how amazing life could be?

I know you've heard it before and I'm certain that you've blown it off before too, because so have I, but it really is this simple. If I open my eyes in the morning and I immediately notice a foot of new fallen snow, I automatically have two ways of looking at it. I could have a positive outlook and I could have a negative outlook, but the CHOICE is mine! Nobody else, including God, has the ability to choose for YOU!!! It's me alone who looks at the snow and starts grumbling about all the shoveling, slush, traffic, etc., when I could look at the same snow and see beauty. I could see an opportunity to get a good physical workout without having to sit in a gym and lift weights, all while being surrounded by the beauty of the snow storm, I could see it as an awesome way to bring my family together and go sledding or we could build a snow fort. Last but not least, anything I do in the snow can be capped off by coming inside for a warm cup of Cocoa.

It may seem ridiculous and so simple and maybe that's why so many of us choose to write it off as not being possible. All it takes is training, just like anything else you want to incorporate into your daily routine. If I want to eat healthier it isn't going to happen over night and I better believe that my taste buds and brain waves are not going to take to kindly to the massive change either. If you don't believe it, just try asking a child to trade chocolate for a carrot and see how they react. That is essentially what goes on inside for adults, but we don't see it. Even if you think that because you are an adult you can reason with yourself better, you're only part right. While as an adult you may find it easier to choose the carrot over chocolate, it will still take work! Put it to the test, try to add the simplest thing into your daily routine and keep track of how many times you forget or don't do it, or....But don't get discouraged. Keep at it and eventually if you want it bad enough it will happen.

Even as I have undertaken this journey I still have many moments of doubt and while in the past I would have let it get the better of me, I now see it more clearly and it almost makes me smile to know I dance around the doubt and make it explode before my very eyes. I was so close to so many big things in the past and I let my fears and doubts change my perception and from that moment I was doomed. This time around I am in control of my perception and thus my reality. This time I asked the Universe and everyone around me to support my dreams, to assist me in the realization of those dreams and to ensure that I continue to have the strength to push forward no matter the obstacles I may face. I decided that whatever was going to come my way while on this current path, that I would face it head on and NEVER leave this path no matter what! That is the difference and I can tell you that the Universe and everyone around me has responded with a massive "HELL YA", we are here for you!

The proof would have to be my latest venture, which I am so excited to share with you all. The Universe told an amazing man named Joe Arko that he had to reach out to me and he did. What has transpired over the last couple of weeks is nothing short of watching the miracle of life literally unfold before your very eyes. It's like the puzzle you have been working on your whole life finally became clear. We are embarking on our first annual Hockey For Heroes Fundraiser and I am so blessed because I asked that I be given the chance to shine, and show what I am capable of if given the opportunity. Joe has provided me with this opportunity and I will rise to the occasion because I am the one who dedicated myself to all of this, I asked for all of this and now I'm going to execute it. Sounds like any other good blueprint if you ask me.

I hope everyone out there can begin to take control of their perception and truly see how amazing life can be. If you need assistance or are curious to see if it's even possible to achieve such things, I am willing to offer Free 45 minute consults until the end of March/2014 to anyone who is ready to start getting what they truly want.
