Tools To Transform Knowledge Into Wisdom
We read, intellectualize, philosophize and have conversations about what it is to live an enriched and fulfilled life, yet what tools are we provided with to embody the freedom of fulfillment? 

Provided here are some basic steps to support you to unlock the deepest part of your "authentic self".  Start exactly where you are, taking one step at a time.

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase".  Martin Luther King, Jr.


1. What Do You Truly Desire to Experience?
Sometimes we discover what we desire by first recognizing what we do not want.  The first time I was assigned the task of writing out ten things I desired to experience in my life I couldn't do it.  My teacher gave me two weeks to create my list and I struggled all fourteen days.  Feeling embarrassed by my failure, I reported back with an empty sheet of paper.  To my relief, I was met with understanding and compassion. 

Many of us are taught to focus on what society believes we need as opposed teaching us how to tap into the deepest requirements of our own being.  We are not born to be consumers or measure our self worth by our appearance, accumulations, titles or outward success.  We are born with unique gifts and talents that are meant to be acknowledged, nurtured and shared with others.

Think about the times you feel the deepest sense of fulfillment.  Is it when you are struggling to increase your outer appearance, possessions, and credibility in the community, or is it when you are sharing your deepest gifts of love from the heart?

We may often feel like something is missing when society tells us we:
Don't have enough and therefore we are not enough.
Have too much and are not seen or appreciated for who we are.
Are not a desirable height, weight, color, age, intelligence.
Do not have the right size home, partner, family, job, profession, bank account.
Are not up to par with our creative abilities. and we are compared to others.
Are not as skilled in sports, conversation, wit.
Are being compared to others and judged by what others deem as acceptable.
The list goes on...

Clues to get you started begin with twinges of pain and discomfort
Take a quick inventory of your life.  Without judging or editing, allow yourself permission to write a quick list of areas that don't feel "right", whether they be your appearance, relationships, health, bank account, home.

Identify the Opposite
Now, take a look at your list and do your best to identify how you would like to experience these areas of your life.  For example, if you feel discomfort with a relationship, focus on how you would like to feel in that relationship as opposed to making the person behave differently.  Do you want that person to be more present or provide deeper understanding?  If so, how would you feel being the recipient of those qualities in a relationship?  Does being with a person who has a willingness to listen and understand you provide you with a sense of trust and safety to be yourself?  What is different when you experience deep and extraordinary trust in a relationship?   


2. Release & Let Go.  Unclutter Your Internal Landscape
Many of us learned subconscious coping mechanisms and patterns to survive in life.  Yet these limiting patterns do not allow us to thrive.  Learn to release and let go of what is cluttering your internal landscape of success.

We are all tempted and even prodded to make others (or oneself) wrong, to judge, blame, compare; and yet do any of these behaviors provide you with a sense of fulfillment or authentic freedom?  Attempts to manipulate or control people and circumstances around us will make us eternal victims.  The only way to experience inner peace and fulfillment is to deepen your skills and practice the power of choice.


3. Purify & Replenish with The Power of Choice
Purify and transform decades of unsuccessful patterns in your spirit, mind and body.  Expand possibilities in your relationships, home, career, finances and the community you live in.  Replenish yourself with new and fulfilling possibilities.

Learning to build and develop the inner muscle of choice in both easy and difficult experiences is a way to experience inner peace and fulfillment with resources we have available in the moment. 


4. Mastering Your Journey of Life
Master Tools and Wisdom Exercises that keep you active on an upward spiral of experiencing a fulfilling life.  Gently remind yourself that a practice which works for you in one situation may not work in another.  Life is always changing and it's important to continue to learn and practice on a daily basis! 


Change Your Mind and Your Feelings and You Change Your Life Experience
In elementary school, we all learned that LIKE ENERGY attracts LIKE ENERGY. 

Everything and everyone is made up of energy.
Every thought sparks a feeling inside of you, and every feeling is a vibration of energy. 
What are you thinking and feeling?

If 90% of your life appears to be wonderful, and 10% appears to be pessimistic, where do you usually focus your attention; on the 90% what's wonderful, or the 10% that's pessimistic?  Many of us are taught to focus on the 10%.  Do your thoughts lift you up or do they bring you down? 

Subconscious choices are directing aspects of your life whether you are aware of it or not.  Can you afford to continue living with the thoughts and feelings you currently have?
