Ask Yourself Empowering Questions

“Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”
-Tony Robbins

Questions You Ask Naturally

There are several questions you ask yourself during the day. You may want to take a few moments to consider what questions lead you through a day. What do you ask when you awaken in the morning? ……when you see a friend? …….when you get into your car? …….when you hear the door bell? …..when you fall asleep at night?

The truth is, if we change the questions we ask ourselves, we can change our experience. Whatever you ask for, you will get an answer. People who achieve beyond success are really great at asking important questions to themselves. These important questions empower the individual.
I’ve included 5 sample questions that a beyond successful individual asks themselves. There are plenty more than just these 5 questions, but these are the ones that have been helpful for me recently.

5 Sample Empowering Questions To ask Yourself

1. How can I be of more service and provide more value to people?
2. Why do good things continue to come my way?
3. What Can I express gratitude for today?
4. How can I improve my current situation?
5. What lesson can I learn from this current situation?

Asking yourself important questions empower you. The opposite is also true, asking yourself unimportant questions dis empower you.

I have found that a good measure for my own level of clarity and focus, stems from the questions I ask myself. When I am clear and in a focused state, I generally ask myself empowering questions. When I’m in a less focused state, and unclear of what I want, I find myself asking questions that are disempowering. So in my personal experience, things get done faster, more efficiently, and have positive results as a result to the empowering questions I choose to ask myself. The real reason is mainly because, empowering questions lead to empowering answers.

Ask yourself empowering questions, and expect empowering answers.

Peace,

Baker Interviews Chuck Bergman Star of the show “Psychic Search” featured on The Biography Channel

Hello Chuck, thank you for being the special guest interview on my blog. I decided to have you featured on my blog, because I am in the process of my own personal and spiritual development, and I came across your name through a referral that is actually assisting me on the development of this site. I’ve always been quite interested in the paranormal, even as a child. I did read up on your interesting story, about you being a psychic medium, but not just any kind of psychic medium, but one that helps out with investigating unsolved cases as a “psychic cop.” I was intrigued by your story and the type of work that you do.

Chuck: It’s a pleasure to share my development stages with you Baker!

1. Baker: Can you please tell the readers about your background, and how you got started in your type of work?

Chuck: My grandmother an my mother were mediums. They never helped me with the process instead kept it a secret. When I would experience unexplainable things as a child my mother was very good at redirecting the topic to one of little interest. I wanted answers!! When I was around thirty I started knowing when people would die. I would be riding around in a police car and I would know when a friend or relative would cross over. I would usually get a message along with the vision. These were easy to later confirm.

2. Baker: Now, can an individual develop psychic abilities or is this something one needs to be born with?

Chuck: I believe that everyone has psychic abilities. I have observed people that have joined meditation groups with the expectation of seeing or hearing Spirit. Some connect on the first try and some would take up to a year to connect. The good news is that once the connection is made development can be very rapid IF you continue to study!

3. Baker: I would assume that there are probably skeptics that you come across, because I would say to the majority of people are not very familiar with the paranormal/psychic world. How do you deal with the skeptics and still get the job done so well and with stunning accuracy?

Chuck: Great question! Watching a child eat an ice cream cone is boring because all kids can do that. If everyone could connect with the other side and every message was faultless, mediumship would be equally boring. Converting a non-believer into a believer is not always possible but when it happens, we have one more spiritual person on our side! The best way to convince a non-believer that this is real is to give validations that are specific unique. If I feel negative energy around a skeptical person, I don’t attempt to read them because they will look for an excuse to put a pessimistic spin on anything you say.

4. Baker: Describe to me some of the feelings you get personally, after you have accurately solved a mystery case, that probably wouldn’t have been solved normally with what detectives are given, with by only using their everyday normal 5 senses? I mean there is a lot of emotions I’m sure you deal with in a particular case, as far as family members, victims, murderers etc.

Chuck: For me it is all about receiving the information accurately. I would never want to point the finger at the wrong person or discredit the victim in any way. Many times I have to give painful but true information to the family. It’s been a year since the show Psychic Search, Psychic Cop was filmed. My sister and I sat with the family yesterday and we talked about this topic. When we were leaving I stated that their son Terry had been betrayed and I was privileged enough to become his voice and speak the truth for him…

5. Baker: You have a show coming out on the Biography Channel, can you give the readers a little more information on when it airs, and a little preview of what to expect on the show?

Chuck: The show “Psychic Search” was created to showcase people that claim to have special abilities. I was selected to demonstrate my unique ability of communicating with our loved ones on the other side. Having a police background added credibility to my claim. I was assigned to help a family that knew their 30 year old son was murdered however the police would only list him as missing. My task was to establish that he was or was not on the other side. I knew that morning that he was murdered. We worked with two detectives that were non-believers and by the end of the show conceited that I had correctly spelled out his murder hypothesis and that their beliefs in the case matched my conclusion. They worked on the case 6 years, I worked on it 5 days!

6. Baker: That’s really interesting, I normally don’t watch T.V at all, but I’ll definitely have to check out the show because the story line sounds very intriguing. The fact that you were a regular cop first, and then turned psychic, now blending the two together is pretty remarkable. Chuck, I want to thank you once again for being a part of this blog interview. Check out dates and time for the show “Psychic Search” featured on The Biography Channel HERE. I appreciate the work that you do, and I wish you much continued success with your work!

Chuck: Meeting you on the phone was a true pleasure. I wish that I had your knowledge when I was your age! Enjoy the holidays!!! Chuck…

Baker: Thank you for your kind words. Happy Holidays to you as well!!!

Focus on What You Have: The Art of Gratitude

~Gratitude ~

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.” -Denis Waitley

Hello all.
Lately I’ve been on a reflective state. I’ve thinking to myself why do good things continue to happen to me at a nice pace? The answer was found in my ability to express gratitude in the small things daily. Many things are working well. For instance, I also write articles for a website called Ehow.com, One of my Ehow aricles entitled: How to be automatically rich is getting rave reviews, a few people actually have stated that they printed out my article and are hanging it on their walls, as a reminder or affirmation to practice this daily habit of being automatically rich. I am grateful that my articles continue to make a positive difference in people’s lives.

Mastering the art of gratitude.

When we choose to focus on the things going right in our life, we raise our energy to a new level. This new level allows more of the good to flow in to our lives. When we aren’t grateful with what we already have we block out more good to flow in. This comes in terms of money, relationships, and creative insight. The truth is that there is a real danger of continual focusing on what is going wrong allows you to be reactive, v.s being proactive.

Reactive v.s Proactive
With a reactive focus you are stuck in a state of victimization. You begin to look at your circumstances and notice all the problems. With a proactive focus, you start from an empowered place. You begin to see what is going right and flow and notice the solutions. I believe that with the proactive focus, you are more in alignment with your true self.

Your True Self
Your true self is powerful, confident, and aligned with the universe. It knows when to take action, and when to detach and let things go. Your true self is more trusting and easy. It doesn’t require much physical effort, because it knows and trusts in the flow of the universe. This wisdom of understanding your true self will bring more awareness in your life.

When things don’t seem to be going as planned, focus on the good that is already there. As you begin to focus on the good, you will attract more good into your life because the simple small shift in focus changes your vibrational energy. This world is all comprised of energy. As we start to understand this, we will be more conscious of what we choose to place our attention to on a regular basis.

Practice Gratitude Daily

When I personally make an effort to practice gratitude daily, more good things begin to manifest in my life. Even if it feels hard to focus on what you already have, continue to do it. Make it a daily discipline to start to witness the good that is already in your life. From the small things in your life, and gradually to bigger things. No matter who you are, or what situation you think you are in, there is always something in your life to be grateful for. If there is nothing you can see, just simply be grateful for being alive. Express gratitude for simply being healthy and the ability to breathe air. Start small, and you will quickly begin to see all the wonderful things and experiences that are worthy of your gratitude. From this place of gratitude, you are empowered, you are coming from a place of abundance instead of lack.
You are tuning into your true empowered self. The art of gratitude seems very simple, and it is. Many people try to over complicate this idea, but it’s a simple tool that continues to work in my life, and will work in yours as well.

With Gratitude,

Excuses Don’t Work Here! The Top 3 Excuses I’ve Personally Given Up, To Realize My Full Potential.

“We are what we repeatably do. Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit.
-Aristotle

Hello all.
There are major changes happening in my world, and in the world of many other people. Seems like keeping up to speed with these new changes can be a struggle for people. These changes often come in the form of inner struggles we must face head on. I remember when I used to have struggles living back home in Cali, with my family and things of that nature. Struggling really with the pressure that I put on myself, to make everyone “happy.” But at the end of the day, just feeling drained from trying to be everything for everyone. I can remember thinking to myself, “Damn, there is a lot of people around me, is it my job to lift everyone up?” This was such an overwhelming process for me. I put a lot of pressure to make people see the good in life, because I felt I was so blessed to have naturally seen the world through my positive lenses. It started to take its toll when I realized I couldn’t take this on all myself.

But was it really a valid excuse to not take action towards living up to my true potential? Was I using other people as my reason to not excel at the speed I truly knew I was capable of? At the time yes, it felt like a valid excuse. Looking back, with a clear mind, today I don’t feel those were valid excuses. I was mistakenly making the excuse that other people were the cause of the problem, instead of me taking action on what I really need to do to get my own personal growth to where I knew it could be.

When I moved out here to Arizona on my own, the theme for me was responsibility. However, it was not responsibility in the sense of drudgery or hard work per se. It was responsibility for my thoughts and me being in alignment with my true self.

What this means, was to begin to say no to things that didn’t resonate with me, and say yes to things I resonated with. One example is working on my own personal development. A lot of times the courage to say “No” to things that no longer serve you, may take a lot of time and energy on your part. But people living in higher levels of positive vibration and live a beyond successful life are willing to make this life changing leap.

The truth is that as human beings, it is very natural to find a wide range of excuses that prevent us from growing in the direction we feel we really are destined to grow. This may come in the form of hanging on to the negative habit of procrastination, staying stuck in a physical location that hinders our growth, or maybe trying to ignore the need to personally grow all together. These can manifest by spending too much time watching television, or gradually developing other unproductive habits.

Furthermore, it is very easy to get in the habit of blaming other people, (consciously or unconsciously) for the reasons we are not living up to our true potential. However, by placing our energy towards things outside of our own control (in this case other people) we slowly begin to dis-empower ourselves. We start to react to situations instead being proactive. We become more of a victim to circumstances instead of the victor.

To get a better understanding of my own personal struggle and challenges, I have included the top 3 things that I’ve courageously given up. By me clearly defining what I’ve given up, you can see that the way I live my life today, can no longer be filled with excuses that prevent me from living up to my true potential. It is safe to say that giving up these 3 things in particular for me, has empowered me to continue to lead a beyond successful life.

The top 3 excuses I personally have let go of recently, that have made a positive impact on my own personal development

I. The “Watching Too Much Television Excuse”
( NO! Let’s not see what’s on tonight.)

I also made the conscious choice to not watch television anymore. Back home in Cali, I used to watch television from time to time, it wasn’t like heavy duty television watching, but it was enough to get me hooked. I wasn’t told that the real reason why it’s called a television “program,” is because it is a meant to program you in the way it wants to. Do you really want to leave your life up at the chance of what mainstream television is trying to program you towards? This scares so many people the idea that I don’t watch television, but I’ve had some really positive benefits result from this. I eliminated watching television, so that can no longer be an excuse for me.

Top 3 Benefits of NOT Watching Television

1. Think for yourself. If you are an independent thinker like me, you have a difficult time allowing other people to control your beliefs. SO why would you spend more than 1 hr watching a television program? The ideas being presented on a television set are not your own, they are thoughts of someone else that really just wants to control your way of life. You may not see it directly, but indirectly the truth is evident in how you live your life.

2. Keeps you disciplined. If you are like most people and sit in your very comfortable couch and just let the television unconsciously effect you, than practice not having the television on for 7 days. Instead use that time you would have normally used watching television, into something that can make a difference in your personal development, read my book, or write out your feelings in the form of journaling. The discipline of having the television turned off for 7 days will allow you to focus your attention on more important things for your own personal development.

3. Enhances Positive Thinking. Not watching television allows you to start thinking positive. A majority of the ideas and beliefs express in most television programs are negative. These negative images can become your reality if you watch too much television, because these ideas enter into your unconscious mind. When you stop watching television you get to choose your thoughts and you have the choice to think more positive, and create your reality with what you intend to see, and not be at the mercy of a television program to design your life for you.

II. The “I don’t have enough Money Excuse”
(No! Let’s not glorify being broke.)

I’m not going to act like I’m struggling financially when that’s not really the case. I come from a well to do family, and I worked a Real Estate deal awhile back that covers me for a few months, and I just always have more than enough money. I have books for sale that are going to continue to sell well, and I make money off of royalties. This is not something I say to brag, it’s just my thoughts about abundance and money are so in alignment with who I really am that money is not an issue for me. So I would be straight lying to my readers if I came across as a broke “hustler” trying so hard to make a dollar by doing what I love. There’s nothing cute or clever, about glorifying being broke.
Look, I do what I love, I have more than enough money, I’m working towards passive income streams that pay me whether I work or not, and that’s the end of that story.
So on the money tip, not having money is not an excuse. I continue to live my best life and do what I love, and fully enjoy this process because of my mindset and my business skills I’ve developed over time. I’m the Baker I gets my dough.
This more than anything is an abundance mindset. I eliminated glorifying scarcity and lack, so this is no longer an excuse for me.

The Benefits of the Abundance Mindset

1. Allows you to focus more on your passion. You get to focus on more of what you love versus what you hate doing. Your abundance mindset allows the resources to flow to you, money and otherwise. This mindset allows you to spend more time doing things that makes a bigger positive impact on society at a larger scale, without the fear of lack.

2. More play time. The beauty of having an abundance mindset is that you have a lot more play time and less work time. As a matter of fact, there becomes this very thin line between work and play. Confucius once wrote, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

3. Respect. With money comes respect. People really do still look up to the person with the money. People with this respect from others, consequently have way more responsibilities placed on them, but on the flip side they can also pay other people to handle the technical stuff that they have a hard time doing, so at the end of the day it works out fine.

III. The “Drinking and Partying Up Late Excuse”
(NO! Let’s not get “Messed Up!”)

I want to mention that I used to drink alcoholic beverages and have fun on weekends. I gave this up, the same day that I was rushed to the E.R room because of drinking too much alcohol. If you ever had ulcer pains in the stomach, you know what I mean. This pain was probably the worst feeling I’ve ever experienced deep within the pit of my stomach. This was a lesson, I’ve learned the hard way. I guess it really is just something that comes with maturity, and responsibility.
So from that point on I stopped drinking alcohol. I’ve given up the excuse, and find more creative ways to have a fun time. I’ve given up drinking too much alcohol, so this is no longer an excuse for me.

Top 3 Benefits of non-alcohol use

1. Finding More Creative Ways To Have fun. You are forced to find activities that bring about the same enjoyment that alcohol would normally bring out, and you get more creative with how you spend your fun time. Ironically, you will begin to see that you never really needed alcohol in the first place to have fun. There is fun inside you, just be creative about it.

2. You stand out from other people. The people drinking at the party may have a lot of fun, but deep down that inner knowing that you are consious and can have fun without alcohol is pretty empowering feeling. As you develop this inner confidence that your doing the right thing for you, you begin to feel a lot better about yourself.

3. Saving someone’s life. If you are in scene with other drinkers, and you are the only one not drinking alcohol, maybe that can raise some red flags to someone who is using drinking as an escape mechanism, instead of trying to deal with their real life problems head on. So you being the non alcohol drinking example may actually make a real difference in someone’s life.

I hope that by outlining my personal examples of the 3 excuses that I’ve put away with, gradually you can see what areas in your life that you are just making excuses for to cover up what really needs to get done, to live to your true potential. By giving up a negative habit that prevents you from your own personal development, that excuse can no longer stop you from being who you have to be, to get to where you want to go. I hope this post was useful and served value for you. You guys have a wonderful and blessed day.

With Positive Vibes,

Tis’ The Season To Be Jolly?

I’ll be coming home for Christmas

Hello all.
I’ll be coming home for Christmas. I’ll be visiting my home is in Riverside California this Christmas season. I recently moved out here to Arizona 3 months ago. It will be very hard to see my family this Christmas holiday, because it brings back so many memories of amazing Christmas times as a kid. I am 25 years old and I don’t know how people that move out of their house deal with going back home for a visit their family, where things feel very comfortable and easy. I know it will be a bit rough, because of the emotions that come with everything surrounding the holidays.

I consider myself a simple individual. I used to look forward to holidays, but lately my life as an independent young man has been nothing short of extraordinary. In other words, I have days where I just really feel good throughout the entire day. A lot of this has to do with my new found freedom, but it also has to do with having the blessed opportunity work on my passion, which at the moment happens to be blogging.

Anyway, I can’t say I am as festive as I am today as I was as a child. Seems like the real essence of Christmas tends to get lost as you grow older. I feel like I have to put on extra energy to make Christmas feel like “Christmas” this time around. I’m really taking everyday as a blessing and choosing to stay fully present in the moment. All I know is at this moment on Dec 13, 2009 I’m at peace. On Dec. 12, 2009 I felt jolly. Does this make sense? My point is that everyday is a special day, depending on how you look at it. Dec. 25th is not anymore special than Dec. 26th 27th and so on…
Be present here now. Christmas will come, but today is today.

One of My Top 3 Best Christmas Memories
Probably one of my top 3 best Christmas memories ever. It was when I visited the Philippines in 2003. This was such an amazing Christmas because there was a real authentic Christmas spirit that was present while I was in the Philippines. I don’t know if it was just because I was in a country I haven’t been before, but there was something about the people and the humility, and honesty of the locals that made the Christmas holiday really come alive for me. It wasn’t about the presents or all the other “hoopla” that can sneak into Christmas season. It was quality time spent with cousins that I have never met before.

It was the simplicity of long nights of the joyful and at times deep conversations with connecting with family I haven’t seen prior. Oh and the food! It really did feel like food for the soul, because a lot of the times it was lunch or dinners that my aunts and uncles would cook up, and there is certain feeling and quality to eating food that is made and served with love. It wasn’t the hoopla, it was real for me.
I think we take a lot for granted here in the United States. The economic downfall that will collapse the American empire as we know it, will be a real eye opener and will dramatically change the core values for most Americans living here today.

So what I’m really saying here, is be aware of today. Stay present. Don’t concern yourself with how it will turn out, appreciate the little things that make this Christmas season special. Keep it simple. The other top 2 Most memorable Christmas moments I’ll share probably next Christmas time. Hopefully appreciating the little things each day will truly make this Christmas season a jolly one for you! I have included 3 tips below to make this Christmas Season feel more jolly for you.

3 Tips for a Jolly Christmas Season

1. Keep It Simple

Don’t go wild with all the hoopla that comes along with Christmas. Be yourself, and don’t act like something you are not around people you haven’t seen in awhile. I generally generate a lot of excitement when people see me, but I just want the simple genuine spirit to come out for this holiday season. Aim for the simplicity, and express sincere gratitude for all the people in your life. I have the privilege of attending Christmas parties in really gigantic houses with an overabundance of delicious food to eat. Yet I will still try to keep it simple in my heart. Try this out this time around.

2.Enjoy the Moment

Be present. Don’t focus too much on all the other things that are going on. Keep your focus on who is in front of you, and share this moment with this person with your undivided attention. We sometimes get so caught up in everything surrounding Christmas that we forget to stay present in the moment. Enjoy the moment.

3. Spend Quality Time With Family & Close Friends

This is a major one. Spend time with your family and close friends. Put away all past hurts and pride that you may still have towards anyone in your family and friends. This is a time to really just see the good in your family and close friends and to appreciate the quality time spent with your family and friends at this time. Be more understanding and release the ego. Spending quality time with your family and close friends also ties in with being present with them and giving each person your undivided attention.

I hope these 3 tips will allow for a more jolly experience this holiday season with you and yours.

Happy Holidays.

7 Habits To Keep Your High Positive Frequency Up!!!

Hello all.
We live in an energy based world. Everything in this world carries an energy. This means that I am energy, and you are energy. Even objects carry a certain energy. For us, our energy begins with our daily thoughts. Every thought we think carries an energy. This energy transmutes into your physical world. I understand most people have a hard time accepting these ideas at first, but with practice you will see the positive results if you so choose this path. As you begin to understand this you will be more aware and want to know how to keep your high positive frequency up.
Below are the 7 steps that you can use to keep your higher positive Frequency Up.

1. Meditation
Begin now to practice daily mediation. When you take time for yourself every morning and mediate, you start your day from a calm and relaxed place. Don’t worry about what needs to get done that day, or begin stressing over small things at the start of your day. Start your day with relaxed clarity, and a clear mind. Sit in silence a few minutes each day without thinking a thought. There are several sites online that are really good at describing to you step by step on how to meditate, so I won’t go into it here. Daily practice of meditation brings the day ahead of you with more clarity and purpose.

2. Use Creative Visualization
Begin now to make it a daily habit to spend at least 10 minutes a day, envisioning in your minds eye things, people, and experiences you choose to manifest. Make sure that you visualize this as though it were happening in real time, and use all your senses and put your joyful, positive, loving, peaceful emotions into seeing your manifestation in your minds eye clearly. Really get into the emotion of feeling as though it is real to you at the moment you are visualizing. This gets you in the frequency to manifest. You will see doors of opportunity begin to open up for you as you practice creative visualization on a regular basis.

3. Keep Your Distance from Negative People
One of the things you need to be aware of in keeping your higher positive frequency up is knowing other people’s frequency. It is easy to have your higher energy zapped out when hanging around lower negative vibrational beings. Notice how people react to their circumstances in life, and keep clear of people that complain a lot and are hanging onto negative self defeating thoughts and actions.

4. Collaborate With Like Minds
I always make an effort to surround myself with people who have similar intentions as I do. This makes it a lot easier to be in a frequency of higher vibration. Surround yourself with people that are supportive and are going in a similar direction as you are. Share your intentions with your mastermind group, and you will build confidence and momentum together in a positive way that brings about really amazing results.

5. Develop Gratitude
Developing an attitude of gratitude, really does bring up your positive frequency. Start to look at things in your world as being thankful for. The more you are in a state of gratitude for the little things in life, you will see that your energy goes up. Take time out of your day to express gratitude for what you have in your life. Focus on what you have, and appreciate this. The more you are grateful for the good that is in your life. the more you will be grateful for. The universe loves gratitude.

6. Play More!
One of my favorites. Play with other people, have fun watch something funny. Do something funny, get creative and kick your inner child into motion! Make your projects playful and fun. (This is easy when you love what you do). Also Play more in nature. Nature is a very high frequency. When you are having fun and joyful in nature, your frequency will stay at a high level. Take things a little more easily, and play more!

7. Share With Others
As you raise your vibrations, you will feel the need to share this wisdom with others. Pass it along to people and lead by example. Share with them these new insights and you will feel wonderful for giving back to people the good vibes you feel within you. This is the process that keeps your high frequency up.

Why Attempting to Be “Normal” Limits Your True Self Expression!!!

“I don’t think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that’s what counts.”
-Angelina Jolie

Hello all.

We are all guilty of it at some point in our lives. The idea of attempting to be normal in the eyes of others. What does this really do, when we conform for others? Doesn’t that mean if we conform to seem normal in others people’s eyes we are actually looking at the situation from their perspective, and not our own perspective? Doesn’t this create a loss of power on our part ?

Being “Normal” for others gives them power
When you try your best to always make people happy and approve of you, what this really means is that you want to appear normal in their eyes. From there perspective you try to play a role, that a lot of times feels very uncomfortable. In playing this role, you are not standing up for your true self and just trying to be like everyone else. That is fine, if mediocrity is what you will settle for. But beyond successful people know that in order to take back your power, you must operate from your true self, and a lot of time this means not being “normal” in others eyes.

Limits Your True Self Expression

In your attempt to fit in, you lose your true self expression. This may come in many different forms. It may come from a job you dislike, and are just doing it for the money and to fit in. Or may come from seeking your parents approval of being a good son or daughter. This limits you because you aren’t being yourself, so how do you really expect to actually do stuff you love, and make money from it when you are still trying to make everyone see you as “normal.”

There is nothing “normal” about making money from what you love in this society. Yes people may say that’s great that you are doing what you love and making lots of money, but if they aren’t making a lot of money doing work they love themselves, they really don’t know how that would feel. So to them, that is not a “normal” thing for those people to realize. The “normal” in this society has become to do work you hate, answer to a boss, and make a mediocre income and stay in your place, and complain about it with others. This is what society views as normal. So if you are extraordinary, your intention really should stay free and clear of attempting to be “normal” in other people’s eyes, because that actually the opposite of what you should be focusing on, when finding your true path.

Focusing On Your Uniqueness
The moment you really begin to honor and appreciate your uniqueness, is the same moment you will realize that being “normal” is an ego thing. It means that you have to do a set routine for a certain select group of people that you fear harsh criticism from. The truth is the more you become yourself, the more critics you attract. This is because you are standing out when you are your true self, and people either love or hate that. There is no hide and go seek anymore. If you are extraordinary, you can’t go back to “normal” It’s just who you are. The challenge for you as an extraordinary person is to continue to be you, treat others with respect and love as you continue to shine and achieve greatness, regardless of the negative or positive reactions you receive from others. As you focus on your own uniqueness and operate from your higher self, you will see opportunities and doors open to you that you may have never imagined possible. This is because when you connect to your source, who you really are this allows the good things to manifest for you because you are in alignment with all that is.
From this state of being, you will not concern yourself with what is normal or not normal. You will simply be.

Several great men and women that achieved high achievements in this society were generally not deemed as being “normal” when they were just starting out. Yet they were being true to who they were, regardless of any outside criticisms. There true self expression came from within, and out to the world. Be you, honor and appreciate your uniqueness. Your true self expression is found when you are outside the box. Even if others in the box think it’s not normal.

With Awareness,
