We were all cast in a play once and we play that same role again and again. This is because we remember the lines so well, and yet we forget that we have already played that scene. We don’t seem to be able to get off the page. Do you ever feel as though you are stuck on the same stage saying the same lines? It does not have to be that way; you can rewrite your story! http://www.heavenletters.org/rewrite-your-script.html
We all have difficulty staying present sometimes. This is a very interesting post from Eckhart Tolle about Presence in Conversation.

This very powerful blog by Seth Godin gives some insight into what could be sabotaging your success. I have always admired Seth Godin’s writings, and this is a particularly interesting article.

Sometimes I come across some powerful writings that I believe people would benefit from. Enjoy!
A message from Neale Donald Walsch :
My dear friends…
I’ve decided that I have to stop confusing the simple act of observation with negativity.
Some people, in an effort to not “put any negative energy into the space,” refuse to say anything about anybody or anything that could be construed as being negative in any way. And if anyone else says anything about any person, place, or thing that is not wholly positive, many people will criticize the speaker for “spreading negative energy.”
Soon, a certain dogmatism springs up around all this, and suddenly it becomes unacceptable in some “new age” circles to do anything but smile 16 hours a day and say nothing but positive things about everything. In these circles, when someone offers the least little comment, prediction, or description that is less than totally positive, someone else is sure to say, “Are you wanting to create that?”, or “Why are you creating that?”
(Example: “Gosh, I have a real headache this morning.” “Well, why are you creating that?”)
After a while, people feel so hogtied, they feel so straight-jacketed, that they’re afraid to say anything about anythinganything unless they can glow from head to toe with positivity.
I call this a New Age Bypass. It’s psychic surgery, on the psyche itself. It can also turn into a game of “make-crazy,” where people can’t even objectively describe something they’re seeing right in front of their face without running the risk of being labeled a “downer,” or a “negative thinker.”
(“The stock market certainly had a bad day.” “Well, aren’t you the downer…”)
Yet an Observation is not a Judgment, and a Description is not a Condemnation. We would benefit a great deal from noticing the difference.
It is perfectly okay to say “The rain is coming” when, in fact, you can smell it in the air. I remember a day a few years ago where I was at a huge picnic, with about 40 or 50 people attending, when one of the guests happened to say, “Looks like it’s going to rain.” His wife nearly had a conniption fit. “Don’t SAY that!” she snapped. “Are you trying to MAKE it rain?”
Now I understand perfectly well that we create our own reality, and I have read all the messages of Conversations with God and virtually every other New Spirituality text that is out there that says we do so with the triplet tools of thought, word, and deed. I know all about the As-You-Speak-It, So-Shall-It-Be school of thought on this subject. I belong to that school. But does that mean that we cannot even offer a simple observation, bereft of any judgment or announcement of preference, about what we are experiencing in our lives?
Of course not. Saying “oh-oh, it looks like rain” does not mean that you are at cause-and thus, at fault-when the rains come. It simply means that you are observing what is going on around you. It means that you are aware. And awareness is one of the greatest attributes that any person could develop.
The message here is: do not substitute passivity for discernment; do not–in the name of “positivity”–insert total blindness where once there was keen observation. Covering your ears does not make the wind howl any less, and putting your head in the sand does not make danger disappear.
The ability to observe the environment around us, the ability to discern one thing from another, is what comes with evolving to a higher level of consciousness. Observation is the act of seeing something; it is the simple act of witnessing without assessing. Discernment is the act of differentiation; it is the simple act of telling one thing from another.
Observation is a statement that says “what’s so.” Judgment is a statement that says “so what”? As sentient beings, humans have a desire to notice what is going on around them. Indeed, they have a responsibility to do so.
When you consciously and deliberately stop noticing something because you “don’t want to put negative energy into the space,” you forfeit your most precious gift as a creative being: the gift of deciding. You cannot decide what you want, you cannot consciously choose your own future, if you are refusing to look at what is true so far.
I’m going to keep on working to remove judgment and condemnation from my experience, but I shall never remove observation and discernment. The teaching is, “Judge not, and neither condemn,” it is not, “Observe not, and neither discern.”
Love and Hugs,
Neale.
I was thinking out loud sometime ago that I always seemed to be at the edge of something big, I always “almost” got there, but never seemed to quite be able to cross that divide.
I started musing about some past stuff such as why did I lend that money to a friend, why did I not get out of that relationship sooner, why couldn’t I stick to the so-called diet, and so many more.
If only I hadn’t done those things….
I was talking to my friend and colleague Karen Vizer, and as the conversation progressed we realized that we were both experiencing “almost” in several areas of our lives.
How obvious and how simple . . . yet because we often don’t see what’s right in front of us or because we don’t question our “norm”, things like this go unnoticed. Awareness always precedes change and awareness of this “almost state” caused me to take some actions to change all that!
You may be experiencing almost too, here’s how to find out if you are:
. . . you keep coming up to the edge of a precipice
and you stop – afraid to jump across
. . . you feel reluctant to play big in your own life
. . . or worse yet, feel like something is forcing you back
“Almost” is subtle and shows up in a number of ways:
Have you ever felt you almost got
Have you ever said “if only . . .”
IF ONLY = ALMOST
Almost is a story that must change if you want to live your boldest, brightest, bravest, most outrageous, most authentic life!
So how do we get this “almost” state of being?
Almost is programmed in a variety of ways and we can remove those programs like removing programs that are no longer needed for your computer.
Some of the common programs that relate to almost are:
Fear
Regret
Guilt
Remorse
Negativity
Habits
Anger
. . . and there’s so much more . . .
We decided to do something about this. We created a recording of 8 calls, a workbook, and a bonus call. We looked at areas where “almost” and “if only”show up. We shifted the negative energy patterns and installed positive ones so you can always live in absolutely and never in “if only”!

Over the years of doing what I do as a coach, I’ve seen three ways that people move through change.
The Silver Spoon Path
This is where everything just gets handed to you. Your parents are well-off, you get what you ask for easily and effortlessly and you don’t really struggle, as long as you don’t screw it up.
The Peel The Onion Path
This is where everything brings tears – it’s through pain and punishment, change hurts and your inner light is hidden by layers of gunk. Maybe you’ve been told you don’t deserve it, but something in you keeps earning those scars. It’s hard to enjoy success when you have to go through so much to finally have it.
The Trip The Light Fantastic Path
This is my favorite because it’s for those of us who weren’t born with a silver spoon, and for those of us who aren’t committed to losing blood, sweat and tears to create our best life. This is the path for people who know that success will take a little work but who want to use every positive tool that they can along the way. Those of us on this path are committed to becoming successful but don’t have an interest in making it harder than it has to be.
If you’ve got a silver spoon or an onion just waiting to be peeled, then congratulations because you’re on your way – in either case, you’re already taking your path.
However, if you are a ‘Trip The Light Fantastic’ path person, then I have an incredible – and unusual – program for you starting this Tuesday, May 11th at 1:00 pm Pacific time. It’s all about choosing your path to create the life you want http://www.iamfreetochoose.com/.
Consider this my personal invitation to join my newest program “I Am Free to Choose” (and feel free to insert your own words after – my life, my career, my relationship, etc.). I’m offering this with my esteemed colleague, Heather Novak, who has walked her own path and has successfully translated her work into something that can help you – consider it the shortcut to creating what you want.

You will hear the top four signs about why you don’t love yourself, and benefit from feeling the energy shifting, and the amazing hypnosis segment. Enjoy!
Have you, like many of us, been reading all the self-help, personal growth, spiritual development books and attending the classes and seminars? Maybe you have been focusing on what you want and “staying positive” yet negativity still shows up. Have you been wanting things to be different and yet you feel like it’s TOO much work and making no difference? Stepping into your authentic self can sometimes be bewildering and the stories that we tell ourselves often have us recreating the very situation that got us into that reality in the first place.
Are you finally ready to make changes on the deepest levels?
The empowering combination of channeling, consciousness shifting and hypnosis can bring you to a place that you have been searching for and never quite been able to get to.
Why? Because as hard as “you” tried, the ego together with the unconscious fears, beliefs, habits, etc., are strong enough to hold you back from really connecting with the essence of who you are. Not only can it hold you back from the connection you have been seeking, it will also put you in a place of not allowing and not accepting the messages that are coming to you
I have created a program along with Heather Novak that will finally allow you to discover AND RELEASE what has been holding you back.
If you are not experiencing the life you have hoped for, it is most likely that your unconscious fear(s) are holding you back from being in alignment with what you are asking for. In this ground-breaking new class, we will use the power of the consciousness shifting process to identify what is in your unconscious belief system, shift it and then use hypnosis to install positive associations for you to manifest EXACTLY what you most desire.
Go to www.iamfreetochoose.com for all the details . . .
