There is a major shift happening all over the world, now that The Secret is out. Don't groan - it's true that for many, it's being seen as com-MER-cial, overdone and too-too.
But it's been so great watching how people are "getting it," and how people who never ordinarily might have come upon such information have suddenly made staggering leaps with their lives. It's wonderful.
Since the big thrust Oprah gave the Secret, I and several close friends who are also involved with moving services and products online, are noticing that what once worked for their lists just doesn't Do It anymore.
That's easy to understand. All of a sudden we have all been smacked with a heavy dose of information we need to integrate. It also makes sense when the information is handed out by a set of people who also DISagree about the basic premises - the way Dr. DeAngelo and Joe Vitale disagree about the way we "create our own reality."
The question arises, "Who do I believe?"
Well, isn't this just like old times, when the "experts" raged and argued and we little people waited for the elephantine outcome?
I say fooey on waiting for Others to Call the Shots. I say lets live our lives as artfully as we can, as gracefully, as lovingly, as clearly and intentionally deliberate as we can. How else can we do it? Let the Experts and second-tier gurus and all the rest go ahed and argue and strut and postulate and Give Great Advice. Let the people who can finally come out of hiding who have known this secret all their lives and start to expound upon it.
Aside from all that, I believe that what we really need is to focus on Who We Are, What's Our Heart's Deepest Passion, and then Live and Do From That. More easily said than done, yes?
In a short flash presentation I watched this morning, HERE - which I highly recommend, since there are some astounding facts in it - they said something I really liked. They said, "We are living in exponential times." Isn't that just Right?
Our populations are exploding, communication is at an all-time high all over the world, secrets are becoming unsecretized, and we have such amazing opportunites we never dreamed of before.
Did you know that we have ten times the words in our vocabularies now as when Shakespeare was alive? That's like 5000 to his 500!
Why are we moaning about how hard it is, how broke we are, how fat we are, how depressed we are, or anxious or afraid or nervous or sick or.... Why do we continually focus on what's wrong, and what we don't have?
What would happen if we focused on what we intend? On what we love? On what's good, great or even fantastic about our lives?
"Artists of today are often...honoured as workers of magic. They are considered to be individuals with unique powers, bridging the gulf between what is and what could be."
Robert Genn, well-known painter from Canada - get his freebie newsletter here.
Let's work some real magic! Let's use our unique powers of thought, imagination and inspiration to create our realities and dreams right now! Let's stop hanging out in what-might-have-been or the-yuck-that-what-was, and look forward into what-could-be, what-WILL-be, what-I-am-creating!
You don't think you have "unique powers?" Let me disagree. You, an individual unique on the planet, in the universe, can be and do things no one else is able to be or do. And not only that, you know exactly what those things are. There's no excuse - for you, me, or anyone! Be, do! If you are not being YOU, who ***are*** you being????
I'm going through a real clearing of my own - I realized lately that (again!) I was doing way too much, resulting in feeling very scattered and frustrated with myself. I took a hard look at what and why. I asked myself, if I could only do one thing, what would it be? That's a really hard question for me, since I love to do so many things. But it really came down to inspiration, the passion for unlimited possibility. That's what I stand for and be and do to the best of my being.
I also realized that the reason I got so scattered was that I love to talk with people about things we love to create and do - and thought I had to DO all the things we taked about! Duh! Of course I don't! But I sure tried. How many interests do I have? Health, wealth, well-being, art, internet, marketing, business...it's endless! But within all those interests lay the one cord of connection - inspiration. What's your cord within your interests?
When I got it that inspiration was my bag, it made things so simple. So now, it's a question of, how can I be/do/live through/create that in a clear, clean way and make my way through life as a self-sustaining entity as I support others to be and do themselves?
I know, I know - how can I live my dream when I have to work 50 hours a week/take care of mom/scramble to feed my kids, etc.? Check this slide show out. This link is page 14, I think, of 25 people who created major buzz in online follow-your-passion style. I particularly liked this one because this is a guy whose whole thing was started when he had an accident and was bedridden.
If he can do what he loves and be successful at it from bed, we can do it standing up!
Big guy creates web success from bed.
How do we do it, then?
Stay tuned, and I'll give you a simple formula. It's simple, but it takes being awake, aware and alive!

Here are some inspiring sites I love:
Squidoo.com. - build your own lens. What's a lens? Nope, not that thing you see on a camera or eyeglasses. If a many-part website is wide and shallow, a lens is a site narrow and deep - all about one thing and that one thing only.
If you have a passion for lipsticks or Jeeps or gardening naked, you can create a whole site - for free - at Squidoo - all about your passion. Use it to increase your biz, or just for fun. Add Amazon.com books, Cafepress products, photos, etc. It's a great innovation.
