BE YOURSELF!!

By -
The other day, I had a great conversation with a close friend of mine.

We were talking about the importance of being yourself, under any and all circumstances. The toltec teachings are extremely powerful when it comes to living a life of INTEGRITY! And both of us have read The Four Agreements once or twice before.

One of the agreements is to "don't take anything personally" I realize that this is a huge one for me. I must admit, I have always taken things personally. Even if someone said something to a friend that I felt was wrong--I still took it personally. I was always ready to get in an argument and I realize now, that I don't want to drain my energy in this way anymore! I can actually choose differently and not be run by my ego's desire to be RIGHT all the time.

Once I had the "epiphany" if you will, i felt this sensation of openness and relaxation. I was no longer in "frustration" mode and I could breathe easier! I also made a decision with myself that if I want to be happy, truly happy as often as possible, I am going to have to DROP this propensity to argue and get upset. Learning to not take anything personally is part of becoming a woman (or man) of integrity and wisdom. SO how does this tie in with learning to be yourself? Well, because I wasn't being myself when I would get angry and upset because of taking something personally. I was BEING ANGRY AND UPSET and that's not who I am.

Wow! this learning and growing stuff is pretty awesome. From this day forward I choose to wake up each morning with the mantra "today I choose to be myself and this includes, not taking anything personally...or to put it in a more positive note "to always listen to what is being said underneath the words."

Till next time!
love,
Cynthia

Many of you may of heard of this quote from the famous short story/movie by Stephen King, " The Shawshank Redemption ." It is one of my favorite quotes of all time! The reason being it rings true in every sense and I feel it now more than ever at the age of 29! This morning I woke up and realized I have spent way too much time feeling sorry for myself, or trying to hide my fears and insecurities, and all that did was make them grow stronger and scarier. I used to tell myself that if I just had better parents, or a more loving home, or a wealth family...then I would be happy! But all of that doesn't mean a thing if we don't take responsibility for ourselves. I live in Los ANgeles, and have for about the last 6 years and I get to go to screenings and meet the actors of movies and such and it's a lot of fun! But i realized today that I go to those things because I want to BE IN THE ENERGY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING A LIFE OF PURPOSE AND LOVING WHAT THEY DO! This is soo

Three Steps For The Mindset Of Marketing

By -
Some of you may have heard of the term or catch phrase, "BE, DO, HAVE." I want each and everyone of you to understand the power of Being vs. Doing when it comes to marketing. The key is to BE first and then do, and thus have. The BEINGNESS has to do with weaving consciousness into everything you do. What i mean by this is you're going to want to be aligned within as well as on the outside with WHO you are. You can learn a lot about yourself just by picking up a journal at the local Barnes and Noble or Borders bookstore and writing in it every day for about 15 minutes. How you feel about an ad you place, whether it be on the Internet, newspaper, web blog, or magazine--the same principles apply. Unfortunately all any savvy marketer can do is teach you the steps, basic steps to marketing--but I cannot teach you how to BE. Being has nothing to do with your ego or with doing! Instead being has everything to do with the present moment and how you feel right now, and now a

What Does it Mean To Be REAL?

For the past couple of years now, I have learned that those old hard-sales techniques don't really work anymore. It's not that they weren't effective at one time or another, but now a days, with the use of the internet and people constantly being bombarded with other peoples products and opportunities--we are much more aware of being "sold" to. Many authors say that no one really wants to be sold to, but people definitely enjoy buying. Isn't that interesting?? So, how do we offer people a solution to their problem without trying to force them to believe our product is better than Joe Smiths product? How best can we serve others--without trying to use sales techniques, like closing and manipulating to get the results we want? Well, I don't know about you but it doesn't feel good to try to force others to bend to your will. In fact it doesn't work! It's like trying to roll a boulder through the sand--pretty hard to do. But what if there w
