The Power of Your Pain

The Power of Your Pain

Life isn’t always easy. The path of least resistance is most often not going to be your path.  Hardships and chaos can make you wonder what this is all for. Why do we have to experience painful moments? What is the point?

I have found accepting the difficult parts of life to be the hardest lessons learned. They are painful and cause you to look deep inside of yourself to find the truth.  You can…

My Quest

I have been on a quest to find my happy, to tap into my greatness, and find my way to inspire people to do the same. As of last Wednesday, when I had an emotional breakdown, I have been thinking what do I really really want from life because I know it is more than just my nondescript 9-5. Though I am beyond grateful for my job I do believe that my destiny entails SO much more. 

The crazy thing is, although I fail to realize I have made great progress over the last 5 months. Though I had never EVER considered it before I actually began to embrace a vegan lifestyle, I have started saving money (and leaving it in savings), I have even been dabbling in investing (yet another thing I said I would never do), and have been slowly chipping away at my debts, and improving my credit score. I have still noticed that I still allow myself to feel as though I am not making any progress. 

Don’t forget to celebrate the little victories!

Here’s the thing about me. I am phenomenal at pep talking others, you got this, any progress is good progress, one step at a time, just keep SWIMMING! Any and all of the catch phrases you can think of I use them on my friends to encourage them to keep pushing but still allow MYSELF to continue with the limiting me beliefs. Well at my wonderful and undisclosed age I am deciding to allow myself to be great. I have held myself back from many things that wanted to do because of any number of ridiculous reasons but NOW IS MY TIME!

 I very much so believe in the law of attraction and I am open and willing to accept all of the greatness that I can possibly have in all areas of my life. Since I have been focusing on improving my finances, my health, and my impact I feel like this is the perfect time to begin my blog. 

I am not completely sure how this will all work out but please stick around, follow me on my journey, invite me on you own. My ultimate goal is to embrace the beauty, love, and laughter that life has to offer. To love, grow, and inspire. May my trial, tribulations, and blessings, bless you as well.

Abhung Hain Anung Hain Mantra is all about discovering our real nature. We all have hidden greatness, the real us, that indestructible part of us, which is beyond this body and mind, beyond all the boundaries of this material world. We all have originated from that one source, and that was there from the very beginning of time.

What Do You Affirm In Others?

Do you see people, in terms of performance and behaviors, as they are capable of ‘becoming’ or as they currently are? Great leaders, teachers, parents, coaches, etc., make it a habit of focusing and affirming the best in others.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe taught, “If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.”

I was a rambunctious and strong willed child. My mother was concerned and would discipline me when needed. However, her primary focus was to help shape my self-image in a positive way. In my case, when I was ages 3-6, she did this by regularly calling me, " angel child” – especially when I had pushed too many buttons.

In a soft and patient voice, mother would say, “angel child, let's not tease your brothers.” Or, "We don't behave like that – angel child." "Do you think that's how an angel would speak?" I believe it was phrases like these that helped shape me. She unconsciously gave me a vision to strive for.

For this to work, you must have clear expectations and rules in place. There must be an understanding of shared values and goals. Once those elements are in place, your primary job is to inspire through vision – a vision of a better future.

Am I suggesting this will work for everybody as it did me? Of course not. But what I do know is, "whatever we focus on, energy goes, and where energy goes, things grow." I promise you that if you make a choice to see people in terms of their “potential" versus their current behavior, performance will improve.
