We can truly bring into our lives anything we want as long as there is no doubt in our hearts that it is possible.@MuseLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18242543025805548527noreply@blogger.comBlogger44125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36848987.post-1623009194847613532009-02-25T20:52:00.001-06:002009-02-25T20:52:49.549-06:00Where Have I Been?I have been creating a new blog (actually 2)...leading my first retreat in Costa Rica...preparing for a new radio show...signing a contract to publish a book...designing a new, dynamic program called "Ignite Your Life"...and continuing to expand my new company musélan.My apologies for my lack of attention here!

She tends to only feel excitement and celebration when something is done to completion. Taking steps toward the completion is worthy of brief mention but certainly not celebration.

Their face lights up, their energy becomes vibrant, and the excitement is palpable. Then, predictably, the “yeah buts” begin. The “yeah buts” are the limitations, our own fears we place around the manifestation of our dreams. “Yeah, but, I need life insurance.” “Yeah, but, it takes money to get it started.” “@MuseLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18242543025805548527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36848987.post-28252720054519497642008-12-02T22:09:00.001-06:002008-12-02T22:11:20.726-06:00Tell God Your Plans!“God laughs hardest when you tell Him your plans.” I have heard that quote so many times and never really understood it. What does that mean? God laughs when you get excited about something? Really?

Or, at least, getting past a fear can be a positive thing. It propels you forward with incredible energy to move beyond other fears. Fears keep us stagnant, stuck in our current consciousness and moving past one takes us to a new level.Recently, my seven year old daughter, Sierra, discovered the power of getting past her fears.

You get to write it. Much of your life so far (and perhaps all) has been based on the stories others told you and you believed. Some stories were wonderful and therefore you thrive in those areas.

The closer we are to feeling pure love or joy, the closer you are to being connected directly to our Soul, Spirit, Intuitive side, Higher Self, whatever you decide to call it.

We all have that feeling someplace. We like “what is” somewhere in our lives and as change begins to creep in, as it inevitably does, we resist the changes. But, if we are truly connected to our inner selves, and on the path of growth, we need to trust that that change @MuseLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18242543025805548527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36848987.post-9775225355637721602008-05-29T21:01:00.001-05:002008-05-29T21:01:38.711-05:00Beliefs: Do Your Open the Doors to the Possibilities or Keep You Stuck in a Limited World?What are beliefs anyway? I looked up the definition “something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion or conviction”. I don’t see anywhere in the definition that says a belief has to be true. It is merely a firmly held opinion. They serve us by defining the world in a way our consciousness can comprehend.They should be fluid, ever changing as we evolve and grow.

Eat well? Do your taxes? Clean your house? Find a new job? Get out and date? What if, instead you were inspired to do so? How does that feel?I like Wayne Dyer’s distinction between inspiration and motivation. He says that motivation comes from a negative impetus; you want to do something so something negative won’t happen.

Stop dreaming about the future and get back to the only thing you have now. Decide to live fully in the present.” (Wayne Dyer)I love this quote.

The one I have is worn and, well, looks worn. Shopping for yoga mats is not my favorite activity. Styles are constantly changing and surfaces are so different, it is hard to know just what will work for you. Since there is no yoga mat store, all ordering is done online which means returning what doesn’t work and starting the process again.

It is definitely negative – what you don’t want to d – and amusing all at the same time. My husband, Ron, doesn’t like ants. I certainly don’t enjoy them, but his dislike plays with the edge of fear.
