spend time with knowledgable, interesting people and learn from them

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us;
It’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
-Marianne Williamson – A Return to Love

“What can you do, right now to feel good?

Don’t think of things you can do tomorrow, or later on tonight.
What can you do, RIGHT NOW?

- Make a list of everything you like about your partner?
- Go for a walk in the woods?
- Tell your Mum or Dad that you love them?
- Meditate?

Whatever it is that can make you feel good is what you should be
doing all of the time. Forget about the stresses and strains of
life. That stuff is just called ‘what is’.

Here’s a nugget of reality for you….

If you continue to stress and worry about events in your life then
you are going to attract more of it – it’s as simple as that!

If you can feel good, NOW, then you’re energy will shift and you
will begin to attract more things you associate with being good.” Gary Evans

I am just learning so much from the Virtual Foundation seminars. You dont have to meet face to face to learn, the internet brings people closer.

“If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it, even if I did not have the ability in the beginning.”
— Mahatma GandhiSpiritual and Political Leader of India

last year which made room for some new people… And how refreshing! I think my biggest bttle is not getting in to a pattern where you hang out with the same people all the time. Not saying to get rid of the ones I have and totally love, but just make sure I am aware and open to meeting new ones… Especially as you get older (into 40’s etc) depending on the line of work you’re in, it can be tough to make and maintain new friendships. It was really something I struggled with when I quit working in the bar and became a professional… But now I am on a roll! Yay!

are the knowledgable interesting people in my everyday life?
