Once you have freed yourself from old thought patterns and realized, "You become what you think about," you must shift your perspective toward creating a new future. Otherwise, you will continue to perpetuate the present moment, which is neither, spiritually speaking, hell nor heaven; it's a state of limbo – where there is no vision, the people perish.

But once you reach this point, the present moment isn't discarded but is transformed.

Even though you are free from the past and have fixed the vision of your future in your mind, your body still lives in the present moment; it is the vehicle that carries you from your current situation to the fulfillment of your vision. You must begin to live as though your prayers are already answered and look away from all that distracts you.

This way of living is not easy initially, for it is not the way of the World, which requires a detailed map of all the necessary steps to take between point A and point B; it needs assurance that all will work out before moving into the unknown wilderness.

Being in the present moment is highly misunderstood. Why?

The present moment is shaped by what was. When you focus only on the present moment, you only view what is, what is wrong, and what you lack. Things that keep you stuck running around in circles and never getting anywhere.

And yet, you must be in the present moment to be free from the past; it is an essential element in freeing yourself from past trauma and cycles of the past.

"Wait, I'm confused. Didn't you say, 'Focusing on the present moment keeps me stuck?" Yes, it's a paradox.

Let me explain.

When you properly focus on the present moment, you notice and then redirect your mind away from the internal loop patterns of your thoughts, which began in your childhood; it's the way to break free from the unconscious slavery to a mindset that you've inherited that is shaping your continuously unfolding present moment; it helps you to recognize that you are experiencing moments of déjà vu because you are creating your life from events in your past that no longer exists, outside of your mind – you are shaping your World with the ghosts of the past.

'The World' is not a reflection of you.

Seriously, are YOU responsible for hatred, greed, war, poverty?

What about joy, happiness, prosperity, and beauty?

Yes, you may be 'experiencing' these things, but you are not responsible for what you see in 'The World,' whether good or bad. Thinking so is arrogant and self-righteous; at the core, it's victim consciousness!

You see, 'The World' is nothing but a reality that grants us the ability to experience all that Source is—a Divine buffet that offers us the choice to select from the Eternal experiences of heaven or hell, blessings or curses, the light or the dark, depending on what WE put on 'the plate' of OUR minds.

So, what are your current experiences 'reflecting' back to you?

Your current state of mind; your beliefs about what you are worthy of receiving from life, AKA: Your Inherited Negative Self-Image Root.

When it comes to 'the world,' don't worry about what others are putting on their plate; we all have the free will given to us by The Source to choose for ourselves. Instead, your focus should turn inward, determining for yourself what you are worthy of experiencing, which ensures others are not allowed to 'make up a plate' for you, especially with their use of guilt and shame, which is a tactic to control you or keep you stuck in their choices, all stemming from fear. 

Shifting your perspective isn't a light undertaking; it isn't at all rainbows, butterflies, and namaste that the self-serving and hypocritical fake prophets and self-help gurus that build communities fostering an identity around dependency, helplessness, and the idea that others have any power over you and your life, while simultaneously peddling you out of your money and leaving you even more confused than before (don't even get me started).

By the way, rainbows and butterflies come AFTER experiencing 'the flood' and the chrysalis. Change only occurs after you unapologetically and consciously choose from the buffet of life, AKA: Renewing your mind and permanently changing your belief in what you are worthy of. No guru can do that for you.

No, walking away from the conformity of what everybody else is choosing isn't easy.

However, it is required if you want the ability to experience the 'dream life' stuck in your mind due to the fear of being rejected. Which, if you are honest, they have already done, and you're simply stuck in the trauma of what has already occurred.

Moving beyond the trauma of years of violence and abuse can seem like a neverending journey, but it does finally come to an end; there is a genuine release from your suffering caused by others, so NEVER give up; keep walking toward it and get your freedom! 

Listen in as I share my experience of knowing it's truly possible for anyone if they choose. 

To be free from the past and able to move into your 'new story,' you must say "YES!" to life, which means you must accept what "Life" really is. Because if you resist it, it will persist. 

Listen to learn wisdom gained from my out-of-a-life of violence and abuse. 

Running around in circles trying to figure out the past and why they did the things they did to you?

You will be on that merry-go-round your entire life if you don't stop and see the truth of who you are.

Listen in for wisdom gained from having been there myself.

You are instructed to "calleth those things that been not as though there where," so, how are you to experience 'true love' or your "Sunshine Family" when all you've known is pain, betrayal, abuse, and violence?

Listen in for wisdom learned in moving beyond the 'old story' of victim consciousness. 

Imagine a life where you are free from the doubts and traumas of your past.

A life where you have left "The Past" behind, crossed the Red Sea, and learned to be grateful, and now you have arrived at the gates of The Promised Land, AKA: your New Story—a life of "It's Possible for Me!"

Even at this point, few will make it. Want to be one of them?

Listen to the wisdom gained so that you can avoid the pitfalls and struggles many face.

It's time to take control of your life and step into the future you deserve.

There is only one way you will make it beyond the life you are currently experiencing...that is the path of Gratitude.

But what is gratitude really? 

Listen up because you're gonna need it.

Why do people bully?

There are different reasons why people bully, including: wanting to dominate others and improve their social status.

But in reality, they have low self-esteem and want to feel better about themselves and to mask how they feel about themselves, people who bully focus their attention on someone else and try to tear them down to their level, which is rooted in the fear of them being rejected.

So how do you stop the bully from bullying you? It isn't by fighting back.

What do I mean? Listen in and learn for yourself what to do.
