Quote for the day

***

"It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny."

Tony Robbins

The weekend has retired for the work week, and I find myself

at Monday all over again.

I got up early to make a list of things I need to get done today, and things that if granted favors by the Universe, I would like to also accomplish today.

It's a big list.

I will do my very best...And forgive myself for the rest.

Another day in paradise...

"paradise is just like where you are right now, only much, much better." ~Laurie Anderson

I was asked by a client recently, "why do you blog...I mean you show everyone that your not "perfect", isn't it bad for your life coaching business?"

My answer surprised me as much as it did her.

I am achieving transparency.

Being completely visible...

vulnerable

imperfect

growing

learning

and not striving for perfection in anyway.

Living fully Engaged

does not equal perfection...

It achieves a life of purpose

service

gratitude

compassion

ruthlessness

success

self-confidence

continued growth

and

evolution.

Being a Human that is growing is nothing to be ashamed of.

Needing help is nothing to be ashamed of.

Being transparent is true power, for me.

I had nothing but overwhelming thinking, non productive thinking...And now...I write to settle the beasts that live in my own head...I write to free myself from the binds that hold me, I write to show that I am not perfect, which means of course that I am exactly where I should be in every single moment.

I am in a constant state of

learning

studying

sharing

and it's one of the things about my

new life that makes me feel great

and keeps me going

and striving for more.

It keeps me asking questions.

It keeps me discovering

the treasure within myself, which keeps me inspired to keep

doing the work that I love...

creating art

and creating

change

growth

inspiration

in the Humans I am lucky enough to come into contact with.

Being transparent means if I get pissed

sad

scared

lost

fearful

overwhelmed

happy

whatever, I share it.

It becomes not just mine but something

I give back to the world

after I interpret it through

my natural gifts

and centers of information...

I share it.

My success

my failures

my change.

I don't hid anymore.

I don't have two life stories anymore

one for the public

and one burning

in private.

I write it down so it's not just crap running around in my head anymore...

it becomes real

power

and change.

Lot's of days I'll write my blog....and then proof it and then post it....and then come back later in the day to re-read my own words...

so many times I am surprised by my own entry for the day.

I change my reality so often just by writing it down.

I don't have the same connections with the feelings that I did while writing them, sometimes, I don't remember writing them at all.

It reminds me that I really am in the moment...

because the moments go by and I

grow

change

focus

so therefore by the end of the day...

I am accomplishing

transparency.

My life is an open book, not because I am into

"exposing myself"

or a tattle tale

or a whiner

or a martyr

or a slave

but because I learn through this process...

and it makes me a better human being

which makes me a better

Healer

Guide

Artist

Mother

Mate

Human.

So it's not for you that I write these words, but rather for myself and all of us.

I tell the tales that need telling,

because

they empower

and free me.

Which is in return

good for the world consciousness

and for me personally.

Transparency

just one

story...

this is mine.

It's yours to read, laugh at, cry with, share, scoff at, learn from,

and I give it freely

in service to the greater good.

In the service of Chain Breaking.

In the service to

myself, my world, my reasons, my goals, my life.

It's yours,

I give it freely...

with love

with fear

with full intent

with passion

with need.

I give myself fully to the universe...

and my place in it.

I dedicate to myself each day with my commitment to becoming more...

"I'm gonna feed you what your preacher needs to teach you" ~ Missy Elliot

And in teaching

sharing

I get to learn twice.

So no I don't think it's hurts my business plans to be authentic, and free of the binds that society has placed on what's private

and

what is

the truth.

This is my claim on

Truth

justice

reality.

It's not so much that I divulge every secret as it is about

the fact that I committed to doing something for myself.

I committed to writing my story and getting it all out of my head...

everyday I work on it...

everyday I fulfill

a promise made

and a another jail door is unlocked

in the

dungeon

of my past

and they are

all free.

I am free.

Freedom...Becoming transparent...Being what I am...

Gives me Power, fuel

Instead of weight...Dragging on my days here,

in this reality...In this moment eternal.

So...That's my answer to that.

I hope you all have a wonderful day

filled with discovery

and

adventure...

yours in the constant pursuit of the moment,

Heather
