How to Transform Your Life

Have you been feeling dejected in life lately? Do you want to have a more profound life? Then get ready to exist less and to live more.

As a life coach and a keynote speaker, I believe that each one of us is meant to fulfil the individual purpose of our life. So if you want to change some significant aspects of your life to make it a better one, you need to take action today to start making alterations accordingly. Remember, it's never too late to transform your life. And although transforming your life can be extremely challenging, it can be exciting and rewarding at the same time.

Transforming your life involves going beyond the way you live. It requires immense patience and discipline to create a better life for yourself. You need to have an unwavering self-confidence in your ability to be able to make significant and positive changes in your life. If you want to transform your life, you will have to become the master of your own destiny.

The process of transforming your life starts with shifting the way that you think in. You need to change your perspective and act from a new and more empowering perspective because your mindset has the power to change your entire life for the better. Emerge out of your self-absorbed cocoon, and search for a greater purpose for your life. Welcome new acquaintances and connections into your life who give you positive vibes and helps you change your outlook towards life. Develop good and fulfilling habits to bring about the desired change.

Accept yourself for the person you are. Embrace all your flaws and imperfections and forgive yourself for your mistakes and failures. Never lose sight of yourself because you will succeed in making changes only if they come from a place of self-respect rather than self-loathing.

Next, you need to have a strong desire that will propel you to achieve the purpose of your life. If you are serious about transforming your life, determine your values and then make a decision accordingly. Once you have made up your mind to usher in change into your life, commit to it.

Start with small changes and move on to a bigger step gradually. Always remember that the smallest changes can transform who you are and your life.

But it's not until you take action that change happens. Action makes your transformation deeper. So instead of procrastinating, start early and give each of the steps the time it needs. Every action leads to results and it is the result that finally helps you transform your life.

Lastly, be grateful. We generally tend to take the gift of life for granted which leads to pessimism and then to depression. So learn to be grateful for the things that you have instead of cribbing about what you don't. Gratitude opens doors for you and helps you welcome better things into your life.

The journey of life is never a straight line for anybody. Your life will have its own share of highs and lows. Failure and struggle are synonymous with life. But always keep in mind that the prerogative to change life for the better lies with you. It starts and ends with you.

Are you looking for a change in life? Then let me help you transform your life for the better.

Go HUNT Your Dream - Motivational Speech

Discovering and Understanding Your Life Purpose

What is it that you're missing in your life? What is it that you'd most like to have? Would you like more love, more freedom, more peace?

In life, we strive and fight in our lives to get whatever it is that we believe we need or want. We reach personal and professional goals and acquire what we can afford. But is that what life is really about? Is that what makes our soul thrive and feel happy? Is it what makes me satisfied and complete?

Look inside you. What are you missing? What haven't you got enough of? What would you like to have more of? What do you dream of having?

If your life ended today, what would you be sorry you never got? What would you miss?

If you dream of having things, what need are those things trying to satisfy? What do they give you? What do they make you feel, power, satisfaction, peace... ? If you dream of reaching goal after goal, what does success mean to you? What does it give you? Those things and goals are your way to satisfy your personal needs and those needs somehow mask what you most desire. Ask yourself, then, what it is that your being most wants, what it is that you crave day after day, what is it that would make you feel complete and whole.

Once you know, why not turn that into your life purpose? Imagine planning your days and actions with that general purpose in mind. Everything you do then has that ultimate purpose. Your life immediately adopts a new meaning. Imagine you choose "peace" as your life purpose.Whenever dealing with others, you will now target peace as the highest goal. Your relationships will have that ultimate goal. And so will your work. And your leisure time. And your everyday actions, And the objectives you wish to reach. And your conversations... If you then ever feel bad for whatever reason, ask yourself: am I still pursuing my purpose or did I go astray from it? Your life purpose becomes your inner compass, your north, your direction to follow no matter what. If you deviate from it, you will feel bad because you will not be aligned with it. Which is the same reason that will lead you to returning to it and resuming it. Once your life purpose is defined, it is much easier to return to it. This step that I'm taking, this conversation that I'm having, this action that I'm undertaking... is aligned with my purpose? Is making me move forward? If not, what do I need to do to change it?

Give yourself the gift of this life compass. Don't you see how your life is changed? Pick your purpose and re-focus your life.

Enjoy life... ALL of it,

REMEMBER YOUR DREAM - Motivational Video

RETRAIN YOUR MIND - NEW Motivational Video (very powerful)

Explore, Dream, Discover

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain

Who's In Charge In Your Life?

Whatever we chose to do in life, we chose it because we expect to gain something in exchange. If I snap at my daughter when she does something wrong, I do it because I expect her to change her behavior. When I let others tell me what to do, I accept it because I expect them to guide me better than I would. When I drink too much it is because I want to forget or have fun. We all do it. We do things because we expect rewards: good ones or bad ones, pleasure or pain. We do things to obtain pleasure. We do things to avoid pain. We provoke situations that will hopefully yield what we think we want or need. A baby cries when asking for something. An adult insults, teases or praises others because he or she wants something, too.

Most of us are not aware of our doing this when pain is involved. We don't realize that we're doing things to avoid an even greater pain. Let me illustrate it. Some people put up with a job they hate or an abusive boss because the pain of being rejected somewhere else would be too big. Or because the pain of being unemployed would hurt too much. They'd rather put up with the pain of their nasty days than risk suffering even more.

In that sense, we're all in charge of our own lives and decisions. We all choose what we have.

When the choosing is consciously done, we are in charge. When we are not aware that we are choosing, we become victims. We blame others. We think the world is doing that to us.

In the example I mentioned above, staying at that job out of fear without realizing that we are choosing to do so turns us into victims. We feel sorry for ourselves. We let others decide for us. And resent them for it. We feel powerless. But there always is a choice. Always. Even in the worst circumstances. Even in the most abusive ones. And whenever we do the choosing, we stop being victims and take control of our lives.

Another example I'd like to give you has to do with me. Quite a few years ago I had some car accidents (yes, in the plural) that really damaged my back and kept me in me acute, chronic pain on both legs and my back for seven whole years, every single day. I could barely walk and my doctors told me that a wheelchair was unavoidable. One could argue that I was the victim because the accidents hadn't been provoked by me. I'd say that my victimization started the moment I didn't accept my situation and decided to suffer from it.

But as soon as I chose to control my life even under those circumstances, I stopped being the victim. I couldn't walk everyday, true, but I could do tons of things still. And I did. I also found new doctors and let go of my old way of life.

Today I am still disabled and enjoy a magnificent, very fulfilling life. Yes, there are days when I'm in physical pain and can't walk or do walk with a sever limp. But I am alive and happy.

Some people say that I resign myself to my new life style. I disagree. Resignation would be accepting my reality and nothing else. But I'm proactively improving it. That's the key, the difference. I choose to improve my life every day, to enjoy it every minute, even when in pain. That is my choice. That is why I'm not a victim but in control.

I refuse to be a victim of my circumstances again. I am not my circumstances. And circumstances can always be changed. I choose pleasure, not pain. Even if the pain looks familiar.

What do you choose?

Enjoy life... ALL of it,

How Bad Do You Want It? (Success) HD

Why Inspiration Is The Breath of Life

The thought that inspiration is the breath of life is not new. In fact, it's embedded in our social consciousness as an artifact that dates back to the root of the word itself. The word holds a tremendous amount of power that has been diluted over time reflecting the transition of human consciousness from oneness to individuation.

When we think of the word(s) inspire/ inspiration, it often means we're looking for something outside of ourselves to give us that push, extra nudge, or spark of an idea that will lead to some sort of accomplishment. Sometimes the words are used in reference to another, as if some behavior you exhibit might be the motivating force for someone else.

This is where things get tricky. There is a tendency for people to want to use the words "(to) motivate" and "(to) inspire" interchangeably. The desired outcome is to change a behavior, either in oneself or in someone else. The critical difference is that motivation is an energy that comes from inside the self. In other words, you can become motivated to do something with the right energetic force, but you cannot motivate someone else because you are standing outside of his or her internal energetic system.

The Root of Inspiration

Inspiration, on the other hand, is all about moving energy in the direction of another being. In fact, the English word inspiration originated from 13th century Old French inspiracion "inhaling, breathing in" and Late Latin inspirare "blow into, breathe upon," as in- "in" + spirare (spirit) "to breathe."

This sense of the word is the underlying concept behind some of the metaphorical phrases we use involving "breath."

• When we are stressed we need a breath of fresh air.
• When we are frustrated, we don't hold/ waste our breath.
• When we are excited, something or someone can take our breath away.
• When you feel pressures, you might feel as though someone is breathing down your neck.
• When you want to make something anew, you breathe new life into it.
• If you want to keep something secret, you don't breath a word.

Inspiration is Spirit Inside

The connection between the word inspiration and the relationship to "breath" as the source of life and flow of energy can be found in several Biblical references as well. For instance, the Hebrew word for inspiration is "nish'mat", pronounced [nesh-aw-maw] and is used several times throughout the Old Testament with the first occurrence appearing in Genesis 2:7.

Hebrew:

waYiytzer y'hwäh élohiyim et-häädäm äfär min-häádãmähwaYiPach B'aPäyw nish'mat chaYiymway'hiy häädäm l'nefesh chaYhäh

English Translation:

And (Yähwé) God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Many scholarly interpretations of this verse suggest the significance lies not just in the notion that God is the source of life, which is sustained through breath, but that the energy that comes through breath is the inspiration that gives us both a connection to and understanding of spirit.

The Shift in Meaning

A quick look at the Merriam-Webster dictionary demonstrates how the meaning of the word inspiration has shifted from a divine right (re: the breath of life) to something that is acquired. In fact, the dictionary even notes the sense "to breath into" is an archaic meaning.

The modern interpretation is:

• A divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation;
• The action or power of moving the intellect or emotions;
• The act of influencing or suggesting opinions.

(Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/inspiration )

This shift in meaning is a reflection of a collective thought system that embraces separation and worthiness. The emphasis is no longer on the life force and spiritual energy of breath. Rather, it focuses on the specialness of receiving divine intervention, which is only available to individuals who have the "quality" to receive it.

An even more common meaning, though, is that of influence (force) on one another.

The Need to Re-Align with the Source of Life

The word inspiration holds the vibrational energy necessary to re-align human consciousness with the source of life and breath is the medium through which it can be attained. Those who have a daily meditation practice know that focusing on breath is the key to self-awareness and accessing the higher self.

Guided breathing is also a powerful tool for calming an anxious mind and bringing the physical body back to a state of homeostasis.
