It's CRAZY that most people go through life believing they have to follow the status quo, to do what everyone else "normally" does. But what do "they" truly know? And is what they tell you RIGHT for you??

Each one of us should question what our society expects us to do. Why is it essential that I go to college? Can I live a healthy life without seeing a doctor? Is it okay NOT to vaccinate my kids? What about schooling -- are there other options than sending them off to school? Can I have a loving relationship without getting married? Is a spiritual life possible if I don't subscribe to a religious philosophy?

These questions only touch the surface of what we are expected to do, be and think to be successful and accepted.  This blog is designed to illuminate options for self-determined choices ...

   "If you have anything really valuable to contribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality, that single spark of divinity that sets you off and makes you different from every other living creature."
   - Bruce Barton, American author and advertising executive
   ------------------------------------------
   Do you know that you can make money doing something you love? Honestly, we hear a common complaint from people who are passionate about a skill, talent or interest ... "But I can't make money doing this!"
   
   And we have to agree with them; they are absolutely right. They cannot make money doing that because of their own belief that they can't. But take a good look around at all the people who are making LOADS OF MONEY doing what they love -- how come they can do it and you can't?? In sports, in entertainment, and in every industry imaginable there are plenty of people who are making plenty of money. There is no scarcity, money flows abundantly all around us, and there is every reason for you to stop holding yourself back and jump right into that stream!
   
   We've heard parents with talented kids warn them to have a back-up skill because you "can't make money doing (fill in the blank -- usually something creative)." No wonder so many people are reluctant to do what they love. They're afraid.
   
   Is there something that makes you joyful and excited? How about something that feels meaningful and brings a sense of satisfaction and happiness? Whatever does that for you is something we recommend you do or have MORE of.
   
   There are unlimited ways to creatively add more money streaming into your life that you aren't aware of at the moment. You don't need to limit yourself to one endeavor, and you can even have money streaming in that's not the result of something you DO ...you are a creative being with multiple and expanding skills, talents and abilities that you can apply in so many ways. Take some baby steps by increasing the amount of time you FEEL GOOD, whatever that is for you. And start playing with the thought that maybe it is possible, that perhaps you can do more of what you love and find ways to love more of what you do.
   
   go for it,
