WATCH: Marianne Williamson – A Return To Love

Excerpts from her book A Return To Love. Music by John Boswell, A Glimpse of Time from his Trust album. Though Jewish, Marianne’s “spiritual” journey was jump-started by A Course In Miracles (published in 1975). That source is quoted several times in the book and is much of the inspiration behind the book’s message. Marianne also taught the course at one time. A Return To Love (published in 1992) still rates as one of my top 5 books ever and opened my eyes in many respects.

READ: There Is Only Plan A – A Journey Toward Self-Discovery and Renewed Purpose by Klay S. Williams

As children, we were asked, “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” This question conjures up monumental abstracts of people fulfilling wonderful posts in the world without an eraser to correct our explosive dreams. Today, as adults, we stop asking ourselves this question and transition into a life that is safe, predictable, and monotonous, lacking substance even on our best day. Because we are still “growing” as individuals, self-discovery of one’s Plan A is not restricted to our 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s. However, the importance of this journey lies in the realization that Plan A must take place in order for us to truly experience life. Plan A does not discriminate against age disparities, but does discriminate against inefficient levels of existing. We will never miss our window of opportunity to function at the highest level of our capabilities, as long as we seek out the universal plan that is our individual mission in the world. Ask, receive, and begin in yourself an undeniable path of work that will stretch you beyond your understanding—a movement that will utilize every untapped gift inside of you that you’ve always fantasized expressing, giving you the courage to move beyond structures that have paralyzed your ability to act and a spiritual journey that will invite you to live again.

Plan A is the discovery, recognition, and acceptance of one’s calling and purpose in life. It’s the sustaining measures of the journey that you will embark upon in hopes of conquering your dream. It’s the lived experience and specialness that are your task and mission while here on earth. While the stories, thoughts, and explanations that you will bear witness to are a part of my personal experience, it is my belief that there is a universal experience that is common when seeking to obtain your own Plan A. The philosophy of Plan A operates under a specific formula, which serves as a pilot for guidance, realization, cultivation, lived experience, and release.

Plan A Formula

God
We ask how we may be of service to God/the Universe and humanity



Vision
God then gives us a vision or discovery of our Plan A



Belief
It is then imperative that we offer the vibration of belief and faith to support our Plan A



Hard Work
Perseverance and hard work then carry us through the often-tumultuous journey of resistance toward fulfilling our Plan A



Surrender
After doing everything humanly possible to accomplish our goal, we must surrender our dream and trust in a higher power to realize our Plan A
Plan A simply asks the question, “Does my life reflect who I was called to be?” from an interior and exterior point of reference. Am I offering my very best person to the world, to my area of work, and—most importantly—to myself? There is an unexplainable feeling that you will experience by submitting to the energy that the Universe offers. Perfection is not required in order to live a life powered by Plan A. The only requirement of Plan A is complete trust in an unfamiliar route you may never have traveled before, but wholly believe in. After discovering your Plan A, life will appear to start again. New senses will arise and different states of being will exist. You will look back at your old life and wonder, “Who in the world was that?”

Unbeknownst to us, Plan A has always been working in our lives, but has required us to recognize its call, understand its meaning, and make peace with the gift that is bestowed to each of us. Understanding our Plan As might come to us through unconventional mediums, as you will discover through my experience. However, sometimes the key that unlocks a world of difference and meaning could literally be right in front of us, but goes without acknowledgment. There are no coincidences in life, and as soon as we acknowledge this understanding, the more alert our senses will become and the more we will take advantage of being present in the moment. The call of Plan A would be easier for us to recognize and obtain if we give ourselves permission to slow down and take each second, minute, and hour as a precious gift. Our lives will become more defined and we will no longer dance in the waves of life by ourselves; we will receive a partner who will confidently take our hand—leading and guiding, until it’s our turn to make the next move.

Responding to our Plan As is the greatest gift of gratitude we could give to God, the Universe for giving us life and unique special talents. Not acting upon our individual modes of purpose inevitably robs the world of the natural progression towards a balanced level of enlightenment, peace, and collective harmony.

The Point of Authentic Inquiry by Gangaji

There is a point that appears in a lifetime, regardless of chronological age, when healthy, true doubt appears. We doubt what we have been taught, and we doubt what others insist we must believe. This is the point at which true spiritual inquiry can begin.

Letting go of old structures by Tony Samara

“In the world today people are saying to themselves, that we have had enough of the old paradigms and the old systems and we want to change.  We don’t know what we want to change, we don’t know how to change but we want to change and that clarity creates a power that has a very real and powerful effect in the world.  It changes what most people thought a few years ago was quite impossible to change and that is not even through conscious spiritual work, that is just through the intention being so strong that it changes and pushes away the old paradigms so that there is the possibility and the space that allows the birth of something new.

 

 

 

READ: How Managing Your Image Can Change Your Life by Ryan Lock

Every celebrity and nearly all major brands have them: a PR team of dedicated professionals to manage their image, change how they are perceived and draw attention to the good things that they do!

There is a great quote that reads ‘everything you say and do is public relations’. Hiring a PR agency or a publicist is just a way of focusing and refining the messages that you want to send out, but the truth is we are sending out messages all day long with the things we say, do and put out into the world.

The truth is, the same marketing and PR principles can be applied to your own life to take you from where you are to where you want to be, whether it’s drawing more attention to your business, playing up your good points at work for that promotion or deciding to change your image for a brand new you! Here are my top tips:

Who do you want to be?

In order to effectively change anything, you need to be clear on who and what you want to be and how you want to be seen. Take stock of where you are right now – is it working for you and what specifically do you want to change?

Before you can go about changing anything it’s really important to be clear about the direction you want to go in. What does your new image look like? If you’re going for a promotion at work, how will the new executive version of you look? Will you need to dress differently? Be really clear and gather inspiration such as photos or inspirational writing.

Once you have had an honest look at where you are right now, decide where you want to be – how does that look?

Play to your strengths

What makes you unique? Sit down and think about your story and what stands out, how and why is it special? Play up those points. What have you done that is remarkable? When taking on new clients one of the first things a publicist will try to find out is what makes that person or product special and interesting, and then go about letting as many people know about them as possible.

If you’re writing your CV, at a job interview or even on a first date, play up your good points. What makes you irresistible? Why are you the best for the job? Telling people something is one thing, showing them is another. When it comes to your personal or business life, strive to be the best you can be.

Watch your social media

To refer to my earlier point, everything you say and do is public relations. Especially when it comes to your social media. What you put on Facebook and Twitter dictates how people will see you, which can either be a very good thing, or a total disaster!

Whatever your personal opinion about how Facebook or Twitter should work or how the world should be, social media are public forums. It’s a well-known fact that employers check interviewees Facebook pages to get a better idea of the real them, and the same can be said for first dates.

Be careful with party photos. They might look fun at the time, but they can come back to haunt you and don’t give a good impression to potential employers or clients. Some companies even have a clause in their employment contracts stating that all employees’ social media must reflect the values of the business!

Look through your Facebook posts, photos and info, and your tweets. Are they in keeping with how you want to be seen? Be selective.

Look the part

Now that you’ve decided on how you want to be seen, you need to look the part. Dress for who you want to be, speaking like the best version of yourself. Model yourself on people who embody your aspirations.

In just a few short years fashion designer Marc Jacobs went from a dowdy looking wallflower to an absolute hunk! He hit the gym, changed his clothes and his style and he has never been in the press more.

Let’s take the promotion at work scenario. Are you looking like an executive? Are you as smart as you could be? Do you look successful and well-groomed and confident? Be deliberate with your image, what do you want it to say? Dress and present yourself as who you want to be.

Let people know

You can have the best offer in the world, or be as fabulously talented as you like, but unless people know about it, it’s like shouting in a noisy, crowded room. You know what you’re saying, but no one else does. Let people know, not by your words but by your actions!

You’ve decided what your new image is, you’ve played up your strengths and accentuated the good points, you’re careful with the messages you’re sending out through social media and you look the part – now you need to let people know.

If you run a business, would local media be interested in your story? If you are working for a company, show them how good you are by doing a better job, looking your best and being consistent with the messages you are sending out.

Because I Can by Edie Weinstein

I have long appreciated these words because they speak so clearly to a calling I heard as a child and was modeled for me by my parents who in addition to their full time jobs both in and out of the house,  were dedicated life long volunteers into their 80′s. It wasn’t a sense of less- than- greater- than in terms of relationship with anyone to whom they lent a helping hand. Sometimes it was anonymous. They were also just plain kind people, smiling at ‘strangers’ on the street, laughing and playing with children who crossed their paths,

The Secret’s to Your Challenges by Brandon Krieger

It’s 6:30am again and I’ve been thinking about the 2012 energy shift and the challenges people are facing before the New Paradigm Shift. Pretty heavy right?

In the last few months I’ve heard of people going through problems that would put people in psychiatric wards. It’s like everything that’s unresolved is all coming up at one time. For example if they had debt that they just put in the back of their mind and because they just couldn’t deal with it. Recently the creditors decided to call them on a daily basis if not hourly.  Plus that same person would have issues at work, sickness coming on and people who they thought were challenging in their lives now have escalated. Now they are just being terrible to them for no reason.
