Not letting the past run your future

Are You Running on Oughta-Pilot?

February 24, 2010 | No comments

Are you doing what you were born to do or what you have learned to do? It isn’t always easy to discern the difference. Are you following your heart or your Oughta-Pilot?

What is an Oughta-Pilot^TM?

The precise definition of Oughta-Pilot^TM is:

Letting an “ought to” or a “should” be the primary motivation for how you live your life, the choices and decisions you make and the attitudes and feelings that arise therefrom.

Oughta-Pilots can be yours or someone else’s, but they’re stringy and sticky and really hard to get rid of – sort of like the cockroaches in my first apartment.

I spent the first 45 years of my life doing everything others said or thought I “oughta” do. I made myself miserable trying to do and be what my parents, teachers, spouses and so-called friends said I “should”. It got me nowhere fast. I was suffering because I couldn’t be true to my own Truth.

Then, one day, I woke up and claimed my own BirthRight. Now I live a conscious, created life and take full responsibility for my actions. And so can you. The time comes when your Truth, your dreams and your desires will no longer be denied or suppressed and you accept your destiny.

I’ve started teaching others how to disconnect their OP’s as well. There is a specific process I have developed and I’m tickled to say, can now share with others. I have folded the process into an all day workshop which I’m scheduling in cities across the country. Contact me to let me know if you’d like me to schedule a workshop in your city.

We’re all trying to do a little better for ourselves, right? Working for things like…

* More Money

* A Better Career

* A More Loving Relationship

* A Healthy Weight and Body Image

* And a “Better Lifestyle” Overall

I’ve got something which can help you do all of this and more. If you…

* need help to define exactly what you want

* need to have your questions answered

* need to learn practices necessary to live a created life

* need to learn specifically how to manifest the health, money, and relationships you yearn for

…then I can help you.

My exclusive “Disconnect Your Oughta-Pilot^TM” program is designed to bring you a new understanding of who you are, what you want and where to go next. You will be ready, willing and able to lead a life of power, passion and possibility.

This is not just for women, men have Oughta-Pilots, too!

I’ll be discussing the process more in future posts.

Happy New Year!

February 14 is not only Valentine’s Day, a celebration of love and joy, but this year, it is also the date of Chinese New Year (or Spring Festival). The year of the white metal tiger, by the Chinese calendar, year 4708 brings an urging to be decisive and to take action.

With that in mind, I’m offering a New Year’s Special!

From February 14 till February 28, the last day of the New Year Celebration, I’m offering 2 hours of private, focused 1 on 1 coaching for the price of 1! That’s a savings of $150!

Contact me now to schedule your spot. I only have room for 5 people at this price. This is the time to take that step you said you were going to take January 1. Find your dreams, let’s make them happen together!

5 Questions To Ask Customers, Partners and Yourself

February 11, 2010 | No comments

Inspired by John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing’s post, 5 Questions You Should Ask Every Customer, and a contest post at Tungle, it made me think. I’d really like your comments.

1. What made you decide to start following Living A Created Life?

2. What’s one thing we do better than any other site out there?

3. What’s one thing we could do to create a better experience for you?

4. Do you refer Created Life Strategies to others? If yes, why?

5. What would you Google to find a site like Created Life Strategies?

Not only are these good to ask your customers, (and I would really love it if you would comment to answer them for me), but these questions are also good to ask of yourself, your friends and your relationships!

1. What made you choose to start a relationship with me?

2. What’s one thing I do better than any other site out there?

3. What’s one thing I can do to create a better experience for you?

4. Do you positively talk about me to others? If yes, why? What do you say?

5. What things would you do to find someone like me?

I mentioned in my Laws for Success #6, Ask, Ask, Ask that it’s really important to ask questions. How else are you going to know what other people are thinking? I know I’m personally still working on that mindreading thing, but have not perfected it yet, so I always like to ask questions.

Let me know your thoughts about this site, about the people you asked the questions of, or just anything you want to share with us.

Thanks, I really would like your feedback.

“Wait” Is A Four-Letter Word

January 5, 2010 | No comments

How many times have you had to put your dream on hold because you had another so-called “priority”? And how many times have you thought that you had a shot at finally being able to start that business, learn how to paint that painting, begin working on that album or anything else you’ve toyed with doing only to have to put it away once again because “the time wasn’t right”?

How many times have you had to —— W-A-I-T?

You think you finally have worked hard enough, long enough and sacrificed enough to be able to coast for a while and work on your dream and WHAM! something happens and you have to pack away that precious that you just took out of its protective wrap, lovingly dusted off and set out to grow.

Don’t ya just hate it when that happens? I know I do.

For a lot of us this is a syndrome we are more than familiar with and some of us have even become resigned to the process. But what do you do when the dream takes the lead; when your dream refuses to be pushed aside any longer?

How many times have you thought to yourself, “When is it my turn?” as you watch your family grow, your significant other pursue their passions and there you are, still holding your breath while you, and there’s that word again, W-A-I-T.

So frustrating, so gut-tangling, so demeaning! W-A-I-T-ing. Yuck!

Ok, so why do you do it? How does waiting to follow your passions serve you? I suggest it must somehow or you’d find a way out of it. When you get to that point when, as a dear friend of mine put it, you “reach that point up with which you will not put”, change happens.

So what are you, gulp, W-A-I-T-ing for? When will you begin? What’s the payoff to avoid taking the plunge? This is your passion we’re talking about, not someone else’s! How long have you secretly nurtured this dream? And what have you done to call it to you and keep it in existence?

Aha! That’s more to the point, isn’t it? It’s very easy to keep a dream at arm’s length, wishing it would happen to you, wondering what it would feel like to experience xyz, but all the while doing what you’ve always done because it’s safe or because you can’t bring yourself to step off that precipice. I’m going to share something with you… it never is easy. Your dream will never come to you while you do what’s safe; in fact, I don’t believe it will ever come to you at all! You have to take action, make a break with status quo and make that leap of faith.

Planifest Your Future

Here’s a new word for you — “planifest”. What is planifesting? As the Created Life Dictionary defines the term, it means to create a structure or a plan of action that calls a dream into being. When you planifest a dream, you begin with your vision of the dream already created, manifested and real and you look backwards to see what you did to make it so. Once you know what that looks like, you create benchmarks that will ensure you do the rest of the steps and after a bit, voila! Your dream is before you.

This also means that you can see the smallest step necessary to get the process started and take it. You don’t have to do everything at once, you don’t have to have the end result just plop right into your lap (although I love it when that happens – it does sometimes!)

So let’s shift what it means to W-A-I-T. Let’s see….

Wisely contemplate

Accumulate data, experiences and build expectation

Invest in yourself/investigate options

Take action

Sounds better, doesn’t it? How about reframing the experience of W-A-I-T-ing into one of preparation, study and forethought?

I mean, face it. Sometimes you have to do things that are less than exciting. And sometimes, others in your family need to be given priority. That’s life. But you cannot and need not surrender who you are and what YOU want.

Dreambuilding for Someday

Just do a little more research into what it will feel like, smell like, sound like when your dreams become tangible. Do some dreambuilding. For example: My daughter dreams of being a chef and someday owning her own restaurant. She spends her days reading cookbooks, planning meals and trying recipes. We have an appliance store here in town that has beautiful kitchens already set up. We took a picture of her the way she will be someday and now she can keep that in front of her to bring it into focus.

So my friends, dream on and dream big. You get to set the parameters, you get to set the stage. Happy W-A-I-T-ing!

Discover your strengths, let go of what you’ve always been and done and step up to living a passionate, powerful life.

Once you choose to be in charge of your own life, you’ll never again be able to live with settling for less. Living a created life takes a full-time commitment to living in the moment, to foregoing past experiences, living with a new level of authenticity and personal integrity, and a constant reminding yourself of what you’ve chosen and what you will no longer tolerate.

I’m not here to tell you what to do, I’m here to teach you to planifest your visions and dreams. Contact me today.
