The Personal Journey
The Power The Process The Promise
Several years ago, I was weighed down by negativity. It felt like I was
living my life under water and had forgotten what air, sun, and free
movement felt like. I was doing everything a person is supposed to do
to be considered successful, and yet my relationship drained me.... My
work didn’t mean anything.... I was overwhelmed and frustrated.... I
was exhausted and escaped into mind-numbing activities.... Most
importantly, I wasn’t fully present for my children.... My list of
complaints could go on and on, but I don’t want to dwell on complaints.
Like you, I want to dwell on solutions.
You see, I now live a life I love. I had no idea it was possible to be this happy and fulfilled. I am energized by my work and by my relationships. I attract only that which is for my good. Most importantly, I understand and am master of my own inner workings: my emotions, my thoughts, my wisdom, my connection to Everything. This mastery gives me the ultimate security of knowing I can overcome any adversity and the freedom to reach any goal.
My personal journey to a joyful life was haphazard and it took a lot of time and effort. The first step was recognizing that I was allowing negativity to suffocate me. The next step was the realization that I had a choice. Since I had no mentor to guide me, I filled my mind with positive audio books. I listened to the works of Wayne Dyer, Byron Katie, and Eckhart Tolle almost constantly. As I listened, I noticed that I felt empowered and creative, but when I shut the CD player off it didn't take long for my thoughts and feelings to return to their negative ways. This puzzled me, but I just kept listening -- I listened for years -- until one day I realized that I could maintain my good feeling all on my own.
The opening I experienced as the veil of sadness and negativity fell away brought many gifts including a reintroduction to my forgotten life purposes. As I grew more positive, I found that I had more energy to pursue the ideas and activities that made my heart sing ... and this lifted me further.
I wanted to share what I had learned with others, but I knew there had to be a better and faster way than what I had gone through. So I challenged myself to find it. I began to gather information and integrate tools from a variety of disciplines. In addition to the pattern recognition and problem-solving skills I learned in engineering school, I spent a year becoming a certified life coach, six months becoming a Reiki master to understand how vital life energy flows, and another year completing training as a recovery coach to learn about the patterns of addiction. I studied the workings of the human brain, the Bible, and many spiritual philosophies and practices. My goal was to offer fast relief from draining emotions and to deliver simple techniques people could use to build ever-higher levels of peace, joy, creativity and purpose for the rest of their lives.
In the midst of my search, I stumbled upon a source of energy and intelligence that was located inside of me. I learned that when I accessed this energy, I felt peaceful, energized, and creative. I could also call upon this inner power to guide me through difficult situations with ease. As I learned to use it in my life, I found it was also easy to teach others. So I added it to my coaching work and combined it with my process for helping clients align with their life purpose.
The combination turned out to be explosive. By tapping their own inner power, these clients quickly discover what makes their heart sing and step into the new energy of purpose in their lives. Old problems and limiting beliefs dissolve as they use their imagination to tap Infinite Intelligence and grow into their most optimistic future. This kind of growth is the most natural thing in the world and -- as a flower stretches toward the sun -- it is our birthright.
Sharing this process with you has become my passion.
