My thoughts and stories to share
THE MAGNIFICENT BODY
Why is it that I often hear people say,” it’s not about the body!” “It is about the spirit!”Hmmm well, my take on that is ……
If we did not have a body, we would not be able to function at all in this reality! I feel that We are souls that were created by God!
When we make the choice to become human; we are provided with a body for our life here on earth so we can experience everything possible. It is our responsibility to feed and exercise our bodies! It is important to learn everything about our body possible, so we are able to listen to it and respond quickly! If people would realize that our bodies can do anything we want them to do for us, provided we give it the proper fuel and exercise to accomplish the task, there would be a lot fewer sick people in this world!
What an amazing thing our body is! It breaths for us, it allows us to taste the food, it can dance, run, play, create! It allows us to walk barefoot on the grass, to feel the cold of the water in the stream, we can swim, we can talk! If we did not have a body ……. we would be unable to experience life! So why do we not take care of our bodies?
Through my personal experiences, I have come to understand; that our bodies let us know when something isn’t right through pain and illness! If we consume GMO foods, Sugar, and chemicals? Our body will respond in a negative manner! If we listen to our body and give it what it needs to perform at its highest capacity, it will!
We take our bodies for granted, we drink, we drug, we sit, we eat the wrong foods, and then blame God for what we did! We have built-in filters in our bodies to keep us cleared of toxins. However, when you clog those filters, the energy flow stops and becomes stagnant! Diabetes, Kidney disease, Sorosis of the liver to name a few! To stop the disease of the organ, stop doing what you are doing and change direction! You can heal yourself by eating fresh and healthy whole complete foods! Stop eating meats, pasta, and bread! The body tells you when you are being inconsiderate to it! I am not a doctor nor do I claim to be, I am someone who has had some pretty severe consequences of my sugar and junk food consumption as a kid and into my adult life! I did not take care of my body at all! I ate cookies, candy, alcohol, and messed up my digestive tract, as well as my teeth!
Not to mention, the cocaine and speed! I ended up losing a 1 AND A 1/4 FT of my colon, from that as well as IBS, and losing half my teeth! Why are we not taught proper care and maintenance of these bodies? It’s like being given an amazing machine that you have to have an idea of how it works, or how to take care of it! Why not take the time to learn about your body? Learn about the Nervous system, The circulatory system, The digestive system, The muscular system, the skeletal system, the Lymph system, the endocrine system, The major organs, and how they work, as well as the skin which is the largest organ of your body! “What you rub on your skin, is ingested by your body! A good rule of thumb…… If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin!
So that is my feeling about that!
I am not my Story
TODAY I MADE A DECISION !!!!
I no longer feel it is necessary for me to share my story 
I am not my story, I am me that lived and learned from all my challenges, to finally create a new and better story, releasing my past! Too many of us feel we have had the most tragic life stories! We keep telling them over and over and over! People associate you with your story and who you were! Not with who you have become!
What if,………you were to put your story to rest, and recreate yourself into the person you feel yourself to truly be? That is exactly what i decided to do ! I no longer plan to release the book of my life story! I no longer want people to associate me with my past! I want people to know me as the loving, kind, and compassionate person that I am, and I have chosen to use my many spiritual gifts to help as many people and animals that come to me as I can. It is truly an honor to be a facilitator of healing… I am grateful for every person, challenges, and experiences in my life! with no judgment! I have realized that If people would stop judging other people, situations, and experiences as good or bad, and just allow themselves to learn from them, and grow from them, they would evolve into the best version of themselves that they could be!
STOP worrying about what is up ahead and enjoy the moment you are in! Otherwise, you could miss out on something right in front of you
Allow yourself to become unstuck in your lives and adopt a new perspective about what is truly important! We humans have the greatest gift of being! So many people take life for granted, they become complacent like a robot following a program, and never create a life of fun challenge and reward! Although life had a lot of uphills, there was always the knowledge that what goes up must come back down! The situations that pop up in our lives, of which I have faced many, are there to help us grow stronger than we ever believed we could be!
When things get challenging, just take a quick glance in the rearview mirror at how far you have come and then smile to yourself and say….. I got this!

I wrote this today about my experience at the Spartan race! Thought you would like it
The Spartan course itself is like life……quite challenging, and it made me dig deep pushing myself harder than I ever have! I felt every step, every ache, every pain, and proceeded forward! Going up those dreaded hills so steep I struggled at times to reach the top, yet never hesitating to help anyone I could along the way! Just like life with all its uphills, there was always the knowledge that one step at a time, I would get to my destination, sooner or later! The obstacles that pop up in our lives, of which I have faced many, are there to help us grow stronger than we ever believed we could be! You always have the choice of “Do I take this obstacle?” “Or should I go around ?”
I always know that no matter how hard it gets or how much it hurts…….. “THIS TOO SHALL PASS” I chose to take those obstacles head-on! As we rounded the bend completing the last of our obstacles, I can see the finish line is up ahead! Although exhausted, I was not beaten! I finished that race, and as that medal was placed around my neck…… I felt a feeling of accomplishment and joy! That course was hard like life is from time to time, however, I always knew I was going to cross that finish line, with no regrets! I am preparing now for my next race in September, this one is 15 to 20 miles straight up the mountain in Squaw Valley THE TAHOE BEAST! I look forward to my next big adventure…. to be announced! Till then Have a fantastic life!
REIKI HEALING HAS HELPED SO MANY OF MY CLIENTS,
COULD IT HELP YOU?
A few years ago a young boy age 8 was brought to me by his parents out of desperation! (They had tried everything known to man except Reiki) The boy was half the size of his twin brother, he was very sweet and loving and suffered from chronic migraines and hyperactivity on a daily basis since he was an infant! As I began Reiki on him a vision came to me of two babies in the womb, one was constantly stealing all the nutrition and leaving very little for the other The larger one constantly kicked the smaller ones, and climbed on top of him! While I was visualizing….. I asked the boy how he felt about his brother, he said: “I love my brother, but I don’t think he likes me much, he is so mean to me”! I asked, “Why do you think he is mean to you ”? The boy replied in tears; ” I think he doesn’t like me cuz I get more attention cuz I’m sick all times ” I laid my hands on his head, told him to close his eyes and think happy thoughts as I gave him so much loving energy !! Suddenly he began to smile as he said ” I see bright colored doughnuts and my daddy ” 🙂 I asked him ” How do you feel right now sweetie ?”
He told me his headache was gone and he felt happy! I asked him what made him so happy? He replied “when my daddy takes just me to get a doughnut and we go to the park together,” I told him whenever he feels bad just think about that! He told me” I always feel bad cuz mommy and daddy fight all the time !” I asked him “Why do you think they fight ?” He replied,” Cuz I am always Sick !”I told him “Sweetheart, it is not your fault your parents fight, do not blame yourself !”
I told him he was a very special and sweet boy and had nothing to feel bad about! He hugged me, and I took him out to his mother and brother waiting in my lobby It was 4:00 PM and he was relaxed happy, and pain-free! Normally he would become very hyper and misbehave around 3:30 which was the time he was getting out of school to go home, but not today! His mother was amazed at how calm he was and the funny thing is he has never had a headache since!
I have recognized my gift of clairvoyance, that I am able to help people by looking into their past to discover the origin of their illness or pain!
A short time later I met a 40-year-old man with severe anxiety and Crohn’s disease! As I laid my hands upon him, there came to me a vision!
I saw a small boy locked in a dark room crying! I saw a woman and two young girls walking past the small dark room, but never opening the door to let him out! There was a large man who was walking away from all of them, and leaving the boy in the dark! I shared with my client what I saw as I laid my hands on his abdomen. He cried “My mother never wanted me, she always locked me in the closet and told me she wished I was never born “!!! He said his father left when he was little and his sisters were given anything and everything they wanted! He told me he was in Vegas for his mother’s funeral that weekend and that he hated her so much, that he spit on her grave! I told him that he needed to let it go and forgive her so that he can have peace within! I told him that his Crohns came from burying his anger, his hatred, and his guilt! He cried and when he was done the pain in his abdomen was gone! To this day three years later it still has never come back!
I have discovered that every single disease or illness comes from buried emotions and painful experiences from childhood! If you are feeling terrible about yourself for a long period of time or carrying hatred, and anger ……Sooner or later an illness will manifest itself within you guaranteed!
There have been many more experiences throughout the years like the ones I mention here, but these two were at the beginning of my Reiki career! I am not saying I can cure you of your ailments, because truthfully you have to make up your mind you are ready for help to find out what caused your pain or suffering in the first place then we can work together to make you a healthier, happier person
Wishing you all the best, Kelly
Why do we think of food as a reward or a booboo fix?
I was out having breakfast with my son this morning when I noticed a little girl standing behind her mother as she was paying the check when the mother turned to leave, her purse hit the little girl and she fell to the floor! As the little girl began crying, her mother said ” Oh sweetie I am so sorry, how can mommy make it better? How about a sucker?” As the little girl stopped crying she handed her the sucker and out the door, they went!
As my son and I witnessed this, it made me think, No wonder there are so many chubby unhealthy kids, that turn into Fat Adults! By us as parents giving treats, for good behavior, or sweets for booboo’s, we are creating a future weight problem for our children!
How many times were you offered a cookie for something good you did? Or Ice cream if you skinned your knee? I can think of many times I was offered a brownie, or cookie, for an A on my report card, or Ice cream at Farrell’s Ice cream parlor for being quiet in church!
How many of you are guilty of bribing your children with their favorite foods, to quiet them in the grocery store? Or to get them to clean their rooms, you promise them Mcdonald’s? How many of you are in the habit of stopping for fast food instead of cooking meals? The problem is that as children we are programmed, that we eat certain foods to reward ourselves or to make us feel better, which carries over to adulthood, and into our own children I am sure you all have heard the word “comfort food “? Where do you think that comes from? Many of us have grown up thinking that food makes us feel better! The truth is …. it ends up making us feel worse! I became aware of this fact when I grew up to be a FAT and Unhealthy adult! I found that as I was growing up, any time I had my feelings hurt, or felt sad or lonely, or depressed, I would eat !!! Ho hos, Twinkies, and my all-time favorite doughnuts !! I hated myself, and my life and the only thing I could enjoy was sweets !! Sugar gave me an instant rush while consuming it, but when the sugar metabolized, I was back to feeling bad again and would end up in a binge, to get that happy feeling again! I started to get fat and my father kept telling me to go on a diet! I was monitored on the amount of food eaten at mealtimes to help me lose weight! Little did Dad know that I had a stash of goodies hidden away for later, and so as not to get fat, I would purge to get rid of it! It was a vicious cycle that darn near killed me!
I became bulimic in my teens, my hair began to thin, from lack of vitamins my teeth became week from throwing up all the time, I had dark circles under my eyes, and it got to the point that I could not keep anything down at all! But hey, I was thin, so I did not think I had a weight problem
One night after a binge as I was purging myself to get rid of it, my stepsister walked in on me sticking my finger down my throat! She ran and told my Dad, he came into my room and found my stash of Oreo’s, chocolate bars, M&M’s, and chips ahoy cookies under my bed !! He punished me and took away all my goodies, The next day he took me to a psychologist, where I was put in the psych ward for a lovely two-week stay, where I was put on medication and monitored 24 hrs a day to prevent me from throwing up my food! When I came home, my Dad kept an eye on me to make sure I did not throw up after eating and had my stepsister keep an eye on me from stashing food! I was like a junkie!!! I needed my sugar, but knew I could not purge, nor could I gain weight, or Dad would know! So I discovered EX-LAX !!! I could eat, and lose everything through the other end! WoooHOOO !!! I thought I had solved my problem and my Dad never knew!
This went on as part of my lifestyle till I graduated high school and I moved out on my own! I got tired of having to stay close to a bathroom, so I stopped using laxatives, but would purge myself if I overate! Little did I know, that the damage to my colon was extensive from the laxatives (which showed up later in life:(! At the age of 23, I met my first husband, who was a severe alcoholic and quite abusive when he got drunk But such a nice guy when he was sober! I had been with him for 5 yrs and at 28 I gave birth to my wonderful son Drew, My reason for living had arrived!
My husband went to work out of town the day my son was born for 6 months, so I was very happy being home with my baby and not having him around to belittle me and beat me up I had no reason to overeat !! When his job ended out of town he came home, and the abuse began again!! Although I was eating my comfort food again, I was working for a construction company on the road crew, so I stayed very slim, due to the hard work and not having any time to binge eat during the day When the job came to an end and I was laid off, I got a receptionist job at a propane company. My husband drank from the time he got off work till the bar closed every night:( I began packing on the pounds again since I no longer had a physical job, I went from a size 4 to a size 18-19 in nothing flat !! I was huge! I started the laxatives again to lose weight! After 3 years of this abuse on my body, I collapsed at work and was rushed to the hospital!
My insides were a mess and to top it off, I found out I had severe Endometriosis and had to have surgery to remove it! During the surgery, they discovered I had Cancer !!!! Oh my God the BIG “C” The doctor removed my Uterus which was full of Cancer!
It was at that moment, I decided to quit damaging myself, and start getting healthy for my boy! My husband went out of town to work again, and I started my treatments for Cancer (He and my family never even knew ) !! After 6 months I was done with treatments and the cancer was nowhere else in my body !! I was ready to get myself healthy for good this time!
I started working out every morning before work, and Jujitsu at night, every time I thought of binging I would think of my son, as I knew I had to get healthy so I could take care of him and get away from the miserable SOB that I married! I stayed focused on the big picture and taught myself not to look at sweets for comfort but as a once a week treat that I would allow myself only if I lost weight 🙂 Basically, I had to change the way I thought of food, that it was fuel for my body and nothing more!
It was tough to retrain my brain that sweets are not for rewards, or for making me feel better when I was down, but only something to enjoy once in a while for the Delicious taste, once in a while! I was motivated, that I would raise my son different, so he would never go through what I had
I never gave him goodies or fast food, but instead, I would take him to have Sushi and go to a movie, which he loved !! For a reward, I would buy him a skateboard, for a job well done! I worked out every day and my son would sometimes, ride his bike while I ran a mile or two 🙂 To this day ….my son has never had a weight problem, nor does he think of sweets as a reward :)He works out daily, cooks his own food, never has fast food! He and I go to Sushi once a week and the rest of his time he eats healthy:) He skates for hours and is amazing to watch 🙂 He does not have a craving for fast food because I taught him at a very young age the fun of cooking meals at home together! Oh and by the way….. He is an awesome cook!
So you see…… it is very easy to program our kids at a very young age for health and fitness, and it is a lot of fun to cook together or workout or hike together! Instead of going for dessert, go for a bike ride, or a walk together with your kids, or make it a family affair to cook together, and to play together! Get out of the house, and away from the video games, or the TV, and go have fun! Take your kids to the park to play with the family dog, or throw the Frisbee, play, ball, or anything to get them active! They will thank you in the long run and you will enjoy the fun as a family!
Blessings my dear friends, Kellyann
EVERYTHING YOU DO AFFECTS YOUR CHILDREN!
Did you know that everything you say, do, or feel has a long-lasting result on your children from the day they are conceived in the womb, through birth, and on?
Let me explain…….. When I was a child barely 3, I remember my mom would come out into the living room in the morning wearing her stirrup stretch pants, and a white t-shirt she would turn on the TV to watch the Jack La lane show She would bring a chair into the room and begin doing the workout with Jack! I would go get my little chair and follow along with her. I grew up to be a fitness trainer and actually used those same methods to train myself and my clients! I still do the Jack La lane type exercises!
This was a positive action from my childhood that affected me in my adult life
However what about the negative things we witness as children? For example: on the TV, or in the video games, or just in everyday happenings?
As parents we do our best to protect our children, So…..let’s say you are having marital problems, and you think it is better you stay together for the children’s sake? So you play nice when around the kids and have it out when you are alone together! Or maybe you both just don’t talk to each other and suffer in silence? If you think your kids don’t feel what you feel and don’t know what is really going on ????? Think again !!
Children feel energy imbalance more than anyone, they get cranky, they cry a lot, they get sick, they get headaches and physical problems! The truth is that kids are new spirits and have not closed themselves off as adults do! As we grow up we are influenced by everything around us! We learn how to speak from our parents and our surroundings, we learn how to walk by watching, we learn how to eat by watching, and we learn how to think by watching, and listening! often times we do not realize that our baby has a little computer running 24 -7 and storing data that he or she sees, hears, touches, tastes, and experiences, that will shape him or her into the person they are destined to become! I know many couples including my parents that were miserable with each other, but stayed together “for the kid’s sake” Which is quite possibly the worst thing you can do, let me explain why! My parents stayed together till I was 9 years old, they used to fight a lot especially when dad came home drunk! he would smell like beer! My mother would send my sister and me to our rooms to keep us from hearing the fight that was soon to follow!
When you are angry, or sad, you emit an energy frequency, that children can feel, and they, in turn, respond in the same way, angry, or sad! It does not matter if you smile and put on a front to them, they react to your true feelings! When my parents divorced I went with my Dad to live with him and his new wife 🙁 I was so sad without my sister and my mother, and I soon realized that I was thrown right back into the same situation again of dad, drinking and being nasty to his new wife, as well as abusing me and my stepbrother physically and emotionally!
Our children grow up emulating us! I am sure you have heard the saying “girls grow up to marry men like their fathers ” “Boys grow up to be their fathers” “Boys grow up and marry women like their mothers” Now in a perfect world, if the child had a loving doting caring father, then that would be great! However what if the child’s father was abusive to their mother, either verbally, or physically, or God forbid sexually abusive to the child ?? The girl will grow up and marry an abusive man 9 times out of 10 just like I did! Why do you ask? Because that is what she is programmed to believe is what she is supposed to do! In the case of a son growing up like his father, the same applies he will generally grow up to be an abusive husband and father because that is what he learned from his father 🙁
I ended up marrying a man exactly like my father, he was abusive, in every way possible, and I took it; till I had my son 6 years later! The moment I looked into my son’s precious little face I realized I had to make some serious changes in myself and my life, before it affected him in a negative way, as I had been affected by my childhood!
My husband worked in the union, so quite often he would get work out of town, during which time, there were peace and quiet for my baby boy and me 🙂
On one of his visits home he beat me up pretty badly, so I started taking jujitsu lessons to protect myself from his abuse! I learned not only how to protect myself but also about my own self-worth, that I deserved better! I trained 6 days a week, and quickly moved up the ranks to a Green belt!
I remember the night I finally left…… My son was 4 years old, my husband came home stinking of booze and women, yelling at me to fix him his dinner! He came into my room jerking me out of bed by my hair, he told me to get up and fix him dinner, I put on my bathrobe and went out to the kitchen to cook him a steak and a potato to eat! I served it to him and started to go back to bed. As I turned to walk away, he threw the plate of food, hitting me in my head and knocking me to the floor! As I started to get up he grabbed me by my hair and threw me at the wall! My son came out of his room crying, and I told him to go back to bed! I started to run towards the bedroom when my husband grabbed me from behind! He was quite surprised when I reacted by throwing him over my shoulder cracking his head on the fireplace hearth! I then ran to my bedroom and locked the door! Little did I know that my 4-year-old son had dialed 911 and the police were on their way! The police arrived quickly and my husband was arrested !!! I left that next day and filed for divorce shortly after! I knew that I did not want my son raised to be like his father, so I took him away!
I know sometimes I can be pretty graphic in the way I explain things, but I just want you all to understand exactly what I am trying to share with you 🙁 I was able to break the cycle for myself and for my son by changing our situation, getting us out of the bad frequency, and into a more positive and loving environment 🙂 Even if it means you have to leave the one you are with, to protect your children, DO IT !!!
Thankfully, my son has grown up to be a kind, giving, and caring young man, and nothing like his father! Yes, it was hard to leave and start over! However; I am glad I was strong enough to break the cycle, so my son would not be doomed to be like his father, and end up raising kids that were like his father and on down the line!
The only way to prevent this from happening? Either seek counseling or change the situation, before your children grow up in it!
Blessings my friends!

Do you think there is a Heaven?
Do you think there is another plane of existence for us after we leave our bodies? It does not matter if you are religious or not, the point is that there is, in my opinion….. another plane of existence! Let me just give you a few things to consider ……
My theory is this….
Sound a bit science fiction, to ya huh? Think about this, Let’s say we are all spiritual beings on another plane, and we are all allowed to choose our destiny, of how our life is going to play out, it would explain the old quote “God does not give you anything you can’t handle” Perhaps we chose our parents, our friends, our talents, etc.? Have you ever met someone and instantly felt a kinship with them? Perhaps they are there to guide you to the next step in your destiny? I believe that we come to earth to learn new things like we are going to school every day, and we will continue until we have learned everything we wanted to learn for this trip to earth:) I believe we remain in these vessels we call our bodies until we have reached our ultimate goal, however; if we do not learn our lessons, we can not move forward!
Learn your lesson, and move on!

I wanted to share my thoughts about “Imaginary friends” What do you think they are?
When we were children we all have had an imaginary friend or two right? Do you remember yours? Do you remember what they looked like? Who told us that they were imaginary? Our parents right? As children; our minds are open to “all things are possible!” However, as we get older and more exposed to what “society” says is true or imaginary, we begin to lose our belief in our “imaginary friends”, so we forget all about them!
What if…… they were not just our imagination? What if…. they were our spirit guides or Angels , who were sent to earth to help us through our trials and tribulations of life?
Perhaps; As we grew up, they never really went away, but only became invisible because we no longer believed in them? I believe they are still with us and therefore are not imaginary at all! No; I haven’t snapped my cap, just think about this….. When we are children with our innocence and wonder still intact, we are open to see our guides, or our Angels, as we have not been given any reason to not believe in them! However; As we grow up and keep hearing from our parents “That’s Impossible, it is just your imagination playing tricks on you !” We accept it as truth and we refuse to see them anymore! Our minds accept what we believe to be true, but if we no longer believe, then our minds refuse to allow us to see our Angel friends any longer 🙁 The fact is that part of the mind used for spirit communication is the imagination, so I would say that this is why children are more open to spirits or Angels, as they are freer with their imagination, wouldn’t you?
Did you know that in the center of our brain is a gland that scientists have discovered is actually very similar to an eye? It actually, has the same rods and cones as our eyes do? This gland is called the pineal gland and I believe is our “mind’s eye” and our link to the spirit dimensions 🙂
Mystics refer to this as our “third eye” or” Physic eye” and is the gateway to the spirit or Angelic Realm!! I have mine open and I am therefore able to call upon my Angels for my healing to others! Whether you believe it or not, has no bearing on what I know I can see or feel, as It is what you believe to be true, that is true for you! 🙂
So…… the next time your child tells you they have a secret friend that only they can see? Just listen to what they have to say, and don’t condemn them or tell them, they are not real, You might be surprised at what you can learn from your children! Be open to the idea that they have angels watching over them, and you might even get a chance to see things through your child’s eyes 🙂
Blessings, of love and light, Kellyann
What about “SOUL-MATES”
So the question is …how do you break the cycle? Here’s what I did; make a list of everything you want in a relationship, everything from how the person looks, hair color, the color of eyes, smile, personality, be precise and have fun with it:) Think of it like putting in your order to the universe:)
What kind of a relationship do you think you deserve? Is that what you have now? I believe that if you are meant to move on from someone then you have already learned what you needed to learn from that person! It becomes extremely difficult to stay happy, and the longer you hold on, the more difficult things will become, you will feel disconnected, and agitated 🙁 and eventually, you will leave them or vice versa !! I believe it is the Universes way of pushing you forward to your next step, and closer to your destiny!
FIND YOUR SUPERHERO WITHIN YOU!
How Finding Your Life Purpose Awakens The Powers within You!
I wanted to share this with all of you !!!!
Why is knowing our life purpose important in our life?
This question is best answered by Vishen Lakhiani’s theory on creative congruence or ‘Flow’. He states that we are most empowered in our lives when we are in a state of flow. Vishen writes: As I’ve grown and matured I have noticed a recurring pattern in my life. Things move the easiest – business, family life, friendships, my goals – when I am in a state of Flow. What do I mean by “Flow”? It is a feeling of happiness in the present while having a positive expectancy for the future. But let me break it down further. The state of Flow has been described in different ways by different people. Tony Robbins calls it “State”. Jose Silva calls it “Expectancy”. Donald Trump refers to it as “Positive Stamina”. I believe they are all referring to the same thing. Flow is composed of two ingredients. The first is being happy in the now. This means being happy and joyful in your present state. It’s about enjoying the journey and not the destination.
The next ingredient is vision. It’s about having a powerful, beautiful dream for who you want to be and what you want to accomplish and contribute to the world in the future. So according to Vishen we need two things to be ‘aligned with the Universe’ and in Flow. We need to be happy with where we are right now. BUT We also need to have a Vision for our future. Now, here is a quick question on whether you are living your life purpose: Are you happy with what you are doing? Here lies the problem – many of us take on careers such as law, medicine, or architecture because that is what our parents did or that is what we think will pay our bills and make us rich. For instance, you might not be passionate about accounting but your job pays for the house, the car, and all the extra nice things you want so you stick to the job, not because you want to but because it is the practical thing to do. And yet, at the end of the day, are you truly enjoying what you are doing?
Ok let me interject here, and share something with you about my experience and why I agree with what is presented here; For example, I wanted to be in a job to help people, so I studied and trained and became a Personal trainer:) The bosses I had were very greedy, and self-centered! I on the other hand was passionate about getting people the results they sought! I decided to take a huge chance and quit my job and start my own personal training business! Everything fell into place and my first business was born “Body By Design Personal Training and fitness” People told me to get a steady job, that I was crazy to try to train people on my own! I did not listen, because I was following my passion, nothing they said mattered to me! I ended up running “Body by Design from 1998 to 2004, then “Kellyann’s bikini massage” on the beaches of southern Ca., from 2004 till 2006 turned into “heavenly Healing Hands Reiki” from 2006 to 2012, Now known as “Kellyann’s Reiki, Spiritual Healing”! I followed my passion and I look forward to each and every day and in fact, love my job:) By Kellyann
Here’s the thing, if you are not enjoying what you are doing, you will never be truly great at it. Everything you take on after that will always be an uphill battle because you are not in that state of flow. The flow requires that you be happy in the Now. A job that does not light the fire of passion within you will not do this. But it’s worse than that. If you are not passionate about your job it is also very likely that you will not possess a grand vision for what you want to create and who you want to be with respect to this job.
Both ingredients of flow are now missing. You are neither happy nor do you have a vision of what you want to accomplish. Why is knowing our life purpose important in our life? The truth is hard to swallow but here it is…
If you are stuck in this situation, the best tip Vishen Lakhiani can give you is to QUIT. It is never too late to start doing something that you truly enjoy. If you choose to continue being out of that state of flow, things will continue as before. But know this, stagnation is worse than change.
Stagnation breeds complacenc
It is possible to truly thrive and be successful in any field but you have to be certain that this is the field for you to grow. There are mediocre carpenters and then there are cutting-edge furniture designers. There are common masseurs and then there are expert stress therapists. There are simple house nannies and then there are passionate governesses.
When you are happy in the now and you have bold visions for the future, this is FLOW. When we are in a state of FLOW, so many things in our life just seem to go right. The right people step into our lives, the right opportunities fall into our laps. It is as if the Universe is conspiring on our behalf. When you’re living your life purpose, you cannot help but be happy and have grand visions of what you want to do. You’re in Flow. And the world is a far more beautiful place not just for you, but for every life you touch.
