Inspiring Millions to Live Positive, Rewarding Lives, through lessons that nuture your Soul

I recently came across a friends blog where the question was posed …

Why is it that everything we do has to be a challenge? Why do we have to use every bit of energy just to have a life that we lack the energy to actually live? I fully understand why we have to struggle in life but why do we have to struggle through every part of life? Why can’t some things just come easy and allow us to have some energy to enjoy it?

Here is my answer …

When dealing with life – outlook and perception is everything! What we give our attention to and focus on persists and expands within our life. So, if you are constantly seeing yourself faced with challenge and hardship – what will expand and persist with this perception?

Is everything really a challenge? Is your life really as difficult as you believe? Or can you change your outlook and perceive it in a different light – thus causing a change?

Right now, you aren’t using energy to manifest the life you lack – you are manifesting what you feel your life is lacking. In our quest for abundance, one must feel and be abundant – is that going to happen by concentrating on what we lack? Do we truly lack anything or is it we haven’t caused for ourselves a different experience due to our focus and attention being on “negative things”.

We call forth certain experiences within our life so that we may learn and ascend realms of consciousness – acquiring a lesson. The problem is, that being in the third dimensional realm of consciousness – the physical – we allow ourselves to be bound by physical emotions and things. This makes it difficult to see clearly…

What you consider a challenge in life – is where you are being taught a valuable lesson. A lesson, by the way, you chose to experience…So, should we get angry with the teacher or find the value in the lesson and take away the positive.

I tell people all the time that in every seemingly negative experience one can find a gem – a glimmer of light. Now, so often people focus on the dirt and rubble (the experience) instead of the actual treasure and positive that came out of it. Everything that we in the physical dub as being negative can be viewed in a positive light – it’s our choice to do that or not to.

Life is only as difficult as we create, allow, and perceive it to be. The reason you feel challenged and frustrated to the point of anger and depression is because you keep manifesting what it is you don’t want instead of what you do. This is rendering you into a state of hopelessness and you feel depleted, yes?

When we wish to manifest change in our life we need to change the way we look at it.

The answers we seek are already within us – we are fully capable beings filled will unlimited possibilities. Yet, we allow others to set limits for ourselves and we set them too!

I could go on, but the real question is; Are you ready to open your higher consciousness eyes and look at life from Spirit?

Or are you going to continue going through life with a self loathing, a feeling of lacking, depressed, angry at the world for the life you are choosing to manifest?

You have the power to manifest the life you deserve to live! It’s up to you to do so…

My friends reply was;

It absolutely makes sense but how do you switch from viewing things in the physical sense to viewing them in the spiritual sense? How do you unset the boundaries that have been set? How do you get past the sense of loss that drowns the soul and weakens your strength and will to go on?

I replied with;

1. How do you switch from viewing things in the physical sense to viewing them in the spiritual sense?

Answer: One must change from viewing their life from the perspective of Ego and a Fear Based Reality. These two filters, through which physical beings operate are the vehicles through which all sorts of things flow — except the truth. Let’s take the Ego which is constantly comparing ourself with others which enables us to feel less than, greater than, or equal to — the ego wishes to cause separation and segregation. For in order to feel better than we must see fault in our fellow man — right? We must be able to say that I could do that better, but why do we need to constantly be in the state of comparison? We don’t but rather we choose to because the Ego likes to be stroked and we like to see more physical things because remember the Ego values your life by the things around you (cars, houses, money, etc.).

When a person approaches a situation they do so either out of love or fear. For example, a person heading off to a job interview can trust that the universe will provide them with the exact job they need or they can be fearful of not getting the job and put the weight of the universe on their shoulders on top of that fear. Which is basically, compiling more fear on top of fear — if I don’t get this X, Y, and Z will happen and I’ll be screwed…

Spirit, sees things always from a place of Love, Light, Forgiveness, compassion and understanding…anything outside of those core components is coming from Ego and the Fear Based Reality.

So, instead of counting a million and one reasons why you feel your life is horrible, off track, and unsuccessful — Spirit would see the positive sides of the abundance that you DO have!

Let’s start off with a small list shall we?

Can I make someone smile or laugh?
Am I a good listener?
Am I compassionate?
Am I loving?
Am I understanding?

So, you are probably thinking how are the answers to those questions going to lead to your abundance. We must first find out what is within us all and bring that to the world — without fear of looking stupid, sounding stupid, etc. How many times have you caught yourself from telling a joke for fear of what others might think? How many times have you caught yourself from being nice to someone because a person you know doesn’t like that person … It happens all the time — the Ego and Fear Based reality judges all the time.

Let us continue this list …

What do I have in my life that brings me Joy and Happiness?
What are the things in life that I enjoy to do — for myself?
What company are you keeping and is that in alignment with where you want to go or be?

I could probably write a book about this…but, hopefully, you get the picture. Write down these answers.

Then come from a place of being abundant in all of these things — focus on what you have and not what you do not have. When we focus on our abundance more abundance will flow in!

2. How do you unset boundaries that are set?

Answer: Realize they don’t exist! You are fully capable of achieving and obtaining anything that you desire to manifest. Don’t doubt for a moment that you are not capable because once we allow doubt (fear) to occur we are telling ourselves that we can never be more than the limit we have set or allowed another to set on us.

3. How do you get pass the sense of loss that drowns the soul and weakens your strength and will to go on?

Answer: I will assume when we are talking about loss we are talking about death, right? So, my answer will be written to this end…

First, we NEVER lose anyone! They are always a thought a way. But, what it is that we grieve for is the physical connection — what that person represented, how that person affected your life, etc.

The biggest mistake people make with regard to loss is feeling the sense of loss. Another words, celebrate the life and all that their life meant to you! Know that when you randomly think of them — it’s happening because they are close. Know that when things remind you of them — it’s happening because they are there! Know that when a song comes on and you think of them — they are there! If the phone rings and nobody answers and your first thought is the person you feel you have lost — umm… guess what it was them.

Again, Ego and the Fear based reality, tell us that this person is no longer apart of the physical realm which means we can no longer count on them, hold them, experience them etc.

BUT

Spirit says this person has returned to the full and glory of their true self — SPIRIT and are more present NOW, more capable NOW, more aware NOW than EVER BEFORE!

Which school of thought makes you feel whole and complete? Which school of thought rings true?

Humanity
By: William Constantine
From the moment of my conception,
I was enamored with complete perfection,
From my Spirit to my Skin,
I am utterly Divine Within,
From my head to my toes,
Source’s perfection does flow,
My environment a mere reflection,
Of my thought and perception’s direction,
In a world of Ego and Fear,
My Spiritual awareness must remain clear,
There is no separation between you and I,
No not even after we die,
Connected we must be,
For we are humanity.

Hey Everyone,

As many of you know, starting Monday, I am making a total lifestyle transformational change — eating healthier, exercise, and incorporate mind and Spirit wellness.

So, what prompted this desire to change? Simple, a conversation, with a world renowned medical intuitive, Caroline Sutherland. During this conversation, I learned of two amazing and astounding facts which are about two simple ingredients that are included in many of the food regimens of Americans; Sugar and Yeast.

Did you know that yeast (Candida Albicans) is considered a major contributing factor of chronic illness — including Cancer? Through my research I learned that by eliminating sugar, processed foods, and yeast products one can alleviate many symptoms that you may be experiencing in your life; migraines, IBS, asthma, fatigue, ADD, bad breath, memory loss, insomnia, bloating, gas … and so much more!

Candida Albicans, are typically a harmless yeast that live within the mucus linings of our digestive tract, as well as, other membranes. Yeast is a fungus. Candida Albicans are opportunistic pathogens that when out of balance or control can cause a variety of health and illness issues within the human body.

What can cause this balance to become unbalanced?

Sugar
Birth Control
Hormones
Steroids
Stress
Antibiotics
It’s important at this juncture to realize that Candida yeast thrives on sugars and sweeteners. So, if one is trying to avoid upsetting the balance of yeast in the body it would be good to avoid all sweeteners; glucose, dextrose, fructose, sorbital, aspartame, and fructose as well as other food additives — MSG and Malt. In addition, be aware that many of the additives in canned and packaged food can promote yeast growth

So, what foods can you eat that are healthy and don’t promote yeast growth?

Chicken (can be breaded with Rice Flour for example)
Beef
Seafood/Fish
Eggs and Quiches
Fresh Vegetables
Nuts
Seeds
Oils
Butter
Soups
Teas
Coffee
Water
Rice, Rice Flower, Rice Pasta
Food’s You’ll Want to Avoid:

Cakes
Candy
Milk
Cheeses (especially moldy chesses)
Pastries
Mushrooms
Pickles
Fruit Juice
Honey
SUGAR (including foods containing it)
Dried Fruits
Beer
Wine

So, you aren’t going to be starving for food, counting calories, adding points, etc. You will, however, be conscious of what food and products you are putting into your body.

What about fruit?

It’s important to realize that fruit is comprised of tons of natural sugars — which as I already stated, promote yeast growth.

However, you can have a piece of fruit a day — if you want. I would recommend low sugar fruits like blueberries or raspberries, etc. Of course, when consuming even those do so in moderation.

Making this change in your food selection can initially be similar to a detoxification as the yeast that is typically used to being fed breaks down and die off they release gases that often cause you to feel worse — headaches and some of the other symptoms you may have experienced may increase for a short time.

Remember, that you are making this change to increase YOUR health and wellness … the end result will be fantastic.

Also, I will be putting up recipes that would help you along the way. I’ll also encourage you to post and share recipes that you enjoy too!! We are building a community and a support structure as well!!

Exercise

As with many lifestyle changes regarding health and vitality — exercise is important! I’m not saying join a gym or become a workout fanatic…

I’m saying that once your body is accustomed to the new energy you are supplying it via the food you are eating — your energy and overall wellness will change. With this increased energy let’s do something productive and burn some access body fat which all that unprocessed sugar as become.

I am going to make a few suggestions and give you some exercises that will help you! Of course, I recommend walking, a jog (when you are able), swimming, biking, hiking, etc.

Let me introduce you to the Tibetan Five Rites an old doctrine of exercise!

Spirit

Each day, I will post an affirmation and inspirational message — this will serve to treat the overall system of your Spirit.

I will also be giving you tips on Meditation and becoming one with your body!

###

I am looking forward to making this transformational change and more importantly am glad that YOU are as well.

In Love and Light,

William Constantine

The violence and tragedy of the war reached American soil yesterday. A Muslim American Soldier, Major Malik Nadal Hasan, a psychiatrist opened fire on his fellow soldiers with his eminent deployment to a war.

What caused this outburst of violence?

I believe, that he was devout Muslim, who FEARED going to either Iraq or Afghanistan and opening fire on fellow Muslims. I believe that this FEAR took a hold of his psyche and the more he focused on this — the more that fear expanded and consumed him.

I have read reports where Malik argued regularly against the war, yet, would celebrate when an American Soldier was shot due to a Muslim.

It is my impression, that Malik knew exactly what he was doing and was acting out of sheer FEAR and TERROR of opening up on whom he considered his true brethren — Muslims. I also feel that he was in an emotional state of imbalance as well.

The mere thought of going against his own people (and in his mind this was the people we are at war with) was the ultimate betrayal. He could not kill people that were apart of his religious family.

So, he turned to their enemy — which is US and opened fire on his American Soldier family.

The Jihad has hit American soil and spilled American blood.

In yesterdays blog, I spoke of various types of results from an EGO and Fear based reality world that we create and live in — then this happens. It serves as yet another example …

It is my belief that he opened fire on soldiers first as an acclimation to his faith and people. I believe he felt the result would be his death…which in his mind was more honorable than going to war against his own people.

I believe when life is lost due to such horrible acts of violence and travesty — we forget that we all die exactly at the time, place, and in the way we intended — instead we clutch on to such an act as a reason or excuse for a life cut short.

I expect many will disagree with the above thought, but it is very difficult if not impossible for those in the third dimension of reality to wrap their head around that concept because they are stuck in the world of the physical and so is their thinking.

There is no doubt what happened yesterday was a horrific display of EGO and driven by the FEAR BASED REALITY…

How did EGO play a part?

The moment he decided to play GOD … the moment he put himself and his belief system above everyone else.

My thoughts and prayers go out to EVERYONE involved and I hope that the families of the fallen find it in their hearts to offer forgiveness.

I also pray that this awakens our eyes to the result of our own violent acts — WAR. Casualties happen daily in war on both sides of the spectrum, two sides believing they are RIGHT, and believe because of that they have a license to kill.

How many people will have to loose their life to this Jihad? How many families will have to loose their; Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, Cousins, Nephews, Aunts, Uncles, etc … ??

WHEN IS ENOUGH … ENOUGH??

It is now very real to many of us because before it was a world apart and now it’s in our own backyard…OUR COUNTRY..

A time attributed to Ghosts and Goblins, Horror and Freight, Trick or Treating, and often it’s a celebration of fun and great times.
Yet, there are those that walk among us, including myself that look upon this day as the festival of Old Celtic Traditions — Samhain.
Samhain is the celebration of the Summer’s end. It is also believed that the veil between our world and the Otherworld — the realm of the non-physical or spirits was thinnest.
What did this mean??
Traditionally, it meant that spirits and otherworldly creatures both good and evil could pass through this veil.
While, ancestors and kinfolk, were of course warmly welcomed — the evil spirits were not. So, upon this day, they would dress up in masks and costumes — in disguise — to ward off the evil spirits.
Today, for many followers of the Old Ways, it is their New Year’s Celebration and traditionally it lasted three nights. It can also be referred to as "Three Nights of Samonios".
In olden days, one would see bonfires dot the rolling hillsides of the UK as the festivities and celebrations commenced!
In Gaelic, the correct terminology, is Oíche/Oidhche Shamhna. The first version preceding the slash is the Irish Gaelic term so, Oíche Shamhna. The second part is Scots Gaelic.
As I have stated, Samhain, also acted as a festival of the dead of sorts because the veil between dimensions was thinnest. This made a prime opportunity for those to connect with loved ones and ancestors.
Typically, it focuses on honoring our ancestors or loved ones, or the cycle of death and rebirth. As, if you look out your windows you may see the turning of leaves, your gardens may be brown and slumbering, etc.
One must remember, that Paganism is a nature based religion celebrating the seasons in often what will be referred to as a Sabbat. Yet, during the time of the birth of Christianity, they were forced to convert — give up their way of belief and life — or die.
On top of this, early Christians turned to Gods and Goddesses of the Old Ways into their versions of the devil — CERNUNNOS.
Cernunnos, The Great Horned One, is a mature man with stag horns, long hair, and a beard. He wears a tunic and his neck is adorned with an ornate necklace used by the ancient Celts to denote nobility. He typically carries torcs and a purse filled with coins.
I digress, as I’m trying to explain, why we celebrate Halloween.
Many of the traditions practiced today are deeply rooted in the Old Ways.
It is said that when a candle flickers on Samhain it is being touched by a spirit of an ancestor or loved one.
Enjoy your celebrations of Halloween and may a candle or two flicker for you!
PS. Should I do more blogs like this??

I believe mankind has convinced themselves that they are TRUTH seekers and more often than not they run from that which they claim to seek.

There are many that claim to be followers, many structures built, and many books written. Yet, all of these do not in the least bit reflect who I was – WHO I AM. They make claim to this and that – leaving out whatever doesn’t align with them as to skew their fellow man in one direction or another.

I lived a very humble life. I cared deeply for all life and taught of love, compassion, forgiveness, and understanding. I spoke to groups both large and small and remained in service to all who needed me.

Where is the love in Racism or hatred of homosexuals? Where is the compassion in hunger? Where is the forgiveness in the death penalty? Where is the compassion of not getting involved in a Genocide due to Political Reasons – men, women, and children were being slaughtered like cattle??!

God does not judge or condemn – God understands, is compassionate, loving, forgiving. Yet, you write of a wrath of God to scare people into believing or subscribing to a particular belief.

Where were the ten commandments during the religious persecution of those who practiced the Old Ways? Where are they when you are slaughtering millions during war?

You have created a system of laws in connection to me that YOU don’t even practice. You condemn a homosexual couple that expresses love – the true essence of spirit – just because they are of the same sex.

How in all of this do you follow me? How in all of this do you act the way I have?

Many turn against your God in an hour of frustration and blame him for all the wrong in your life.

Do you know when an author or authors write a book they have a creative license – a liberty to manifest the story in whatever direction they choose. The bible has many great facets to it, but how many of the principles taught within its pages are truly being practiced?

Every chance offered, man has chosen a path of EGO and not that of love, compassion, kindness, understanding…

This saddens me to no end.

There was not one moment during my time in the earthly realm that I looked down upon another being – human or otherwise.

You are all God’s children – loved and forgiven equally.

No amount of wealth or belongings that you could amass in a lifetime could equal the value of riches that you already possess within your Spirit.

Be LOVE, COMPASSION, UNDERSTANDING, FORGIVENESS, AND MORE – IN MOTION.

Don’t preach it! LIVE IT!

“What is the meaning of life?” – This question posed so often to me by spiritual truth seekers and those desiring to know their life’s purpose.

Life is not about amassing wealth, fame, the easy road, your physical possessions, etc. However, the sad truth is, that many attribute and value their life based on those principles.

Life is about being in service – constantly giving of yourself – abundantly. And, many reply to this and say, “What do I get in return?”

That, my friend, is EGO speaking for EGO believes we should not give of ourselves if we aren’t to receive anything back. It is no wonder the world is in the current state of affairs that it is … we have been driven by EGO and our fear based reality and have taken everything with us.

Others will bitch and moan and say, “I give enough. When is it my turn.”

EGO again …

Sadly, others will confess, “I can barely support myself how am I to give to another that which I don’t have?”

An elusion of EGO speaks … the underlying message of fear.

The truth is, that many of us, won’t help someone unless it benefits us in some way. What you are not seeing is the Law of One or the Law of Attraction during our EGO and fear based reality driven thoughts.

Being in service can consist of giving something of yourself – time, a smile, laughter, a joke, love, compassion, kindness, generosity, etc.

Comprise a list of what you feel you have to offer someone:

Do you have love to give?

Do you have the ability to smile?

Do you have compassion?

Do you have the gift of humor?

Do you have a listening ear?

And so on and so forth, once you have this list comprised – become fully present in all of these things. DO NOT FIND YOURSELF IN THE FEAR OF BEING YOU!

Another words, often we are afraid to act a certain way around a certain group of people because we feel we need to act one particular way. We subconsciously are coming from a place of fear; fear of being different, fear of being laughed at, fear of being made fun of, etc.

Ultimately, you are sacrificing a part of yourself in order to fit in or, at the very least, save yourself embarrassment.

First of all, if people are laughing at you … You have brought them the biggest gift that of joy and laughter. One cannot get caught up in others opinions or judgments about yourself – the only opinion or judgment that matters is YOURS!

Go into LIFE as the abundant YOU … Watch the difference in how you feel and how you make others feel.

This is how you are in service … helping people either with a smile, a talent, a skill, an ability, showing love, showing compassion, etc.

You have the power to effect someone’s life drastically by being abundantly you! Coming from a place of love, compassion, understanding, etc. and in turn the universe will provide for you.

In Love and Light,

The sweat lodge is an adaptation of the sweat bath that could be found in many cultures of North and South America, Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, and Africa. Soul Purification, a Spiritual Cleansing, was the purpose of such a ceremony – Native American’s did this as a way of finding their way back to the traditional ways of living. It was done to repair damage done to the mind, body, and spirit.

Sweats typically start off with a day fast while avoiding unhealthy substances; caffeine, alcohol, drugs, etc. Prior to entering the sweat lodge it is custom in many practices to smudge yourself with sage, cedar or sweet grass smoke as a means toward ritual cleanliness – not unlike cleansing a house – our body is our temple, etc.

Once you have entered a sweat lodge you crawl in a clockwise direction, bowing in humility to Great Spirit and in close contact with Earth Mother, and take your place in the circle, sitting cross-legged upright against the wall of the lodge.

When all attendees have taken their place the leader signals the doorkeeper to drop the flap covering the lodge opening. Darkness falls within the lodge and at this juncture the leader announces that all who cannot endure our free to leave at any time. In native culture you were given a phrase to speak and once spoken other participants will move away from the wall so that you may pass behind them in a clockwise direction.

You usually sit in a contemplative silence – the leader will call for the hot stones from the sacred fire to be brought in.

The stones are placed in a ceremonial order; west, north, east, south, center – then outward points. Once the stones are in position, the a water drum will sound and calls forth the spirit guides in prayer from the four directions. Water is then poured on each stone. The stones immediately release steam and a lot of it.

The ceremony has begun… The leader will usually begin reciting a prayer. songs, and chants.

During this purification process all sense of race, color, religion, etc. are set aside for a moment of unity of clearness and oneness. Each one of the attendees has the ability to sit with source. Healing begins for physical, emotional, spiritual and directional support.

A sweat is typically four rounds — each lasting about 30-45 minutes. The round ends when the leader announces the opening of the door.

Each round holds a specific desired intention.

Sweats are typically done before and after major rituals like the “Vision Quest”. The lodge symbolizes returning to the womb and the innocence of childhood – it’s dark, moist, hot, and safe. The darkness relates to the human ignorance before corrupted by so much of the physical and EGO.

James Ray’s, “Spiritual Warrior Retreat”, intended to replicate such an experience for the attendees. However, this resulted in 3 dead and dozens hospitalized and millions of people asking — “Why?”

It is important to note that at times like this we find ourselves pointing fingers and looking for someone to blame.

Let us not forget, as difficult as this may be, that nobody dies prematurely but rather at the exact moment in the precise way they intended to. Our human mind cannot understand and interpret the Divine reasoning behind this – in fact, it’s not our place to, rather it’s the person who is making the journey home.

Let us remember, that these people sought a profound spiritual experience and perhaps they found it. We do not know what their experience was nor could we begin to assume – perhaps, what they found led them to a Spiritual Liberation of sorts – freedom from the physical.

Many seem to be focusing on the $9,000 – $10,000 sticker price for such an event boasting that James Ray was in it for the money. While the sticker price does seem a bit high we must remind ourselves that the attendees willingly paid for and attributed their experience to be worth at least that much. This without a doubt was a valuable experience to which they would pay an exorbitant amount of money during such an economical time of hardship. There were people at this event from all walks of life and we cannot assume that only the wealthy went – some, saved to have such an experience.

Our human ways seek fault – fingers point to James Ray and his staff. I believe that if it were a common person attempting this they would undoubtedly be charged with 3 counts of murder or at the very least accidental manslaughter. I believe, James Ray, will be charged for his involvement (or lack there of).

I believe that such arduous spiritual journeys should not be taught by someone who teaches people how to find wealth through the Law of Attraction. I believe that such spiritual journeys should be taught by the adept and schooled in these ways. I also believe that at this sticker price a sound medical staff should be present – doctors, nurses, nutritionist, etc.

I believe that those entering into this should have consulted with their personal physician as well for guidance.

James Ray attempted something with I believe the best of intentions for those who attended but lacked the skill and knowledge to run such a retreat. Many things can happen when one is on a vision quest – astral projection being one and can be dangerous if one does not know what they are doing. There is no way of knowing what type of experience one is having when they are having it just by observing.

Those attending the event were seeking an ultimate spiritual experience … 3 achieved such an experience – a re-emergence with Source and came into the full of their Divine Spiritual Beings.

My advice to those wanting to attend such an event in the future – know the risks, go with someone who knows what they are doing (granted many who attended assumed James Ray did), and don’t allow yourself to be put in unsafe situations.

Sweat Lodges have helped people through addictions and are powerful methods of doing so, but need to be facilitated by someone with proper credentials.

I have no doubt that if Oprah was to offer a Sweat Lodge – millions would come and some might die because Oprah isn’t knowledgeable in such areas.

At some point, people need to take responsibility for their own choices and actions as well…focusing less on pointing the fingers. When someone becomes a celebrity or social figure we cannot follow them blindly … we must keep our own spiritual wits about us.

I can say this about those that died at the Spiritual Warrior Retreat – they died like a Warrior for something they believed in. Many may not understand their belief or trust in such a man, but that is not for us to judge – only understand that they did BELIEVE and CHOSE to have this experience on more than one level.

They are now in the Ultimate of Spiritual Awakenings – may they enjoy it!

Love and Light to You All…

Passion seems to be as elusive as The Loch Ness Monster. Some seek it within their personal relationships and others are trying to find what it is they enjoy in life – what they truly enjoy doing.

No matter what capacity passion is being sought in for many it remains hidden or so it would seem.

In yesterday’s blog I spoke about the demise of a relationship and explain one way in which the spiral downhill may occur. Recalling that one can further assume that the relationship on this path to the end is also lacking – PASSION.

Now, when I am speaking about passion I am not speaking about sexual primal lust, but rather heightened feelings and emotions that drive the relationship. When passion is removed – what is remaining becomes dull and routine and only aids the path to destruction of what used to be described as such a passionate relationship.

Passion exists within all relationships, but many have associated passion with primarily a sexual manor.

The definition of Passion is a strong feeling or emotion that is the main definition. So, when we are seeking passion we must first understand that which we seek otherwise we will never find it.

Yes, passion, can too mean a feeling of strong sexual desire – so, you are not wrong in associating this with passion, but you are merely using the wrong definition in your quest.

Personally, I believe that it is this strong feeling or emotion that causes a sexual experience to become a passionate one.

In order to find your passion you need to ask yourself the following questions …

What do I LOVE doing?

Is there a strong feeling or emotion that is associated with this?

Could I do this every day and enjoy it?

Does it make me happy?

Get the picture?? Your passion is something that you could see yourself doing and spend hours, days, months, years doing it and not tire of the experience. In fact, you wake up every morning and sometimes during the night excited about the next day.

For some, this is a dream. It will remain that way until you truly begin to seek out your passion by answering those questions. Write the answers down and create a vision board if you feel it will help keep you focused.

Remember, your passion is something that will make you feel good and bring more than contentment, but rather, HAPPINESS. It will make you smile from the inside out!

Know this, you can have more than one passion and more than likely you do!

Now, if you desire more passion in your personal romantic life – you first need to identify what is truly missing that enabled the passion to “disappear”. It didn’t happen over night and it won’t reappear that quickly either.

Tonight on, The Awakening, I’ll be discussing how to have a more dynamic sexual relationship with your partner by simply being there spiritually. I hope you will join me 8 PM EST …

Excuses are BS! They simply act during our process of rationalizing either to ourselves or others as a valid reason why we chose to do something or not to.

Excuses Sound Like This;

“I’m to busy.”

“I don’t have enough (money, time, etc)”

“(someone’s name), told me I shouldn’t …”

“I can’t because … “

“My kids need … “

Of course, I could list a million more and I’m sure you could add a few I haven’t thought of.

Lets be honest here, you really could do all of those things, but instead made an excuse and the sad part is you actually believe that excuse to be true. You have convinced yourself that these excuses are TRULY VALID reasons, but chose not to.

Do you realize how many great experiences you could have if you removed excuses from your life?

It’s important to value your relationships with others, but not at the expense of the relationship with yourself. Many parents, in my opinion, make the mistake of putting their kids first and sacrificing their own happiness to do so.

While I believe children are important and so is being a great parent, but doing things for yourself – things you enjoy – is part of that. Here is what I mean:

You are a parent who constantly sacrifices for the sake of your kids happiness. You never go out with your spouse (or by yourself if you are a single parent), you never enjoy the things you used to, at times you feel helpless and trapped. Meanwhile, your relationship is falling down the tubes because between your work schedules and the endless sacrifices for the kids – the only time you spend together is sleeping. You find yourself asking yourself, “Why am I even in this relationship?”

This could go on for days, weeks, months, and years. All the while, your relationship with your spouse is dead and your children have been raised by a parent who is miserable inside.

The same can go for a couple without kids that make excuses about why they don’t do this or that – instead of spending time together.

Excuses are a destructive thought seed that when planted will grow more than likely rapidly and reek chaos in your life.

A few other examples:

A high school girl wants to try out for the cheerleading squad, but makes an excuse that she isn’t good enough, pretty enough, in shape enough and doesn’t put forth the effort. She has just robbed herself of that experience. This was a choice … the excuse was merely the reason she made that choice.

A single mother walks into a clothing store and sees an absolutely gorgeous outfit that she really loves! However, she tells herself she doesn’t have enough money and doesn’t buy it. She has just robbed herself of something that could bring her joy and happiness and possibly make her feel good about herself. This was a choice …  the excuse served as a reason for making it.

A young couple has a child born with a disability or illness and decide to use that as a crutch to end the relationship. Instead of coming together and dealing with it – they made the choice not to via an excuse.

I’m going to leave you with two powerful video’s to watch … after you watch them … maybe you will realize the difference between an excuse and a choice.
