Let go of the Banana

One of the greatest accesses I have seen to living a life of passion and joy is letting go. This means living in the moment and not letting the past, fears or hidden emotions govern life. When we are holding on to past based pain it slows us down in moving forward.

Things happen in all of our lives and we react. Sometimes it is a momentary frustration or sometimes the pain lingers for years. That is up to us. We have the ability at any time to let go of the past and be in the present moment. It takes courage and commitment among other things.

When scientist want to capture monkeys, they put a banana in a cage with a hole small enough for the monkey to stick his arm through. When the monkey makes a fist to grab the banana, it can’t get its arm out. If the monkey were to let go of the banana, it would be free. But the monkey really wants to hold on to the banana. It makes it then easy for the monkey to be captured. For the monkey, holding on to a banana seems appealing in the moment, but when the monkey is captured, it no longer seems like such a good idea.

One could say we are like the ‘monkey’ holding on to our bananas (our past) for dear life. We think it is more appealing to keep grasp of that which bounds us than to let go and be free. Yes, it is easier said than done sometimes. But with these simple steps, letting go is simple.

1. Know that when we are holding on to something, it is a past based moment. Take a moment to breathe and get centered. When you become present, suddenly you have a different cut on reality.
2. Look at why you are holding on to ‘the banana’. What is it that is fueling you by holding on? Are you getting to blame someone else? Are you getting to be a victim? Are you avoiding being responsible? When you can see why you are holding on and that you are getting something out of holding on, then you have access to letting go.
3. Look where you can bring responsibility to the situation. What could you have done or said that you didn’t to have the situation appear the way it is. Being 100% responsible for your life is a gift you give yourself. When you are fully responsible, there is no expectation of others. When you have an expectation of how you think others ‘should’ be, there is a limit of power.
4. Forgiveness of yourself and others is key when you are responsible. Once you can forgive yourself, and others, you can then start to release the pain that you have endured.
5. Being compassionate with your self is important. We are all human. Whatever you are holding onto is some element of ‘beating’ yourself up. Go easy on yourself.
6. Laugh more. Humans don’t laugh enough. Let yourself be loved, and expressed.

When we can actually get that there is nothing worth holding onto then we can live our life in a created moment. Passion is a created phenomenon. When we are pre-occupied with thoughts of anger, fear or despair, we are not able to connect to that passionate side of us. When we can ‘choose’ to let go, we have a new access to the unlimited possibilities that await us. When we let go, we have a freedom that has seem to been lost. We can get back in touch with who we are at a core level and have freedom and passion fulfilled in our lives. The banana is never worth the juiciness of freedom.

Life is for Now

Life is so good. It is full of blessings, either obvious or in disguise. It is always an opportunity to grow and learn. We are in a beautiful time right now on the planet. So much to love, to grow from and so many wonderful things to learn and expand from. It is a time to be present, be aware, to bring consciousness.

It is a time of trust. Annoyance does not make the universe manifest faster. In fact if anything it slows it down. When you are going against the grain, life is hard.

You are where you are for a reason. Everything that is being thrown at you is a lesson to learn in the moment. All your obstacles are showing up to transform. All your success are showing up because you transformed your obstacles. There is no where you are supposed to be except with what is happening right now in this moment. What ever you are dealing with right now is what you are supposed to be dealing with or you wouldn't be dealing with them.

Don't be so hard on your self. You are where you are supposed to be. If it is a moment of success, bask in the glory and keep creating. Don't get stuck or complacent. If you are in a moment of obstacles or challenges, learn the lesson and move forward.

Nothing is going to stay the way forever, Life is always evolving and so are you.

Keep looking for the opportunity and for the blessing that life is.

Time flies when you have fun.

Whew. Another week has come and gone. I have been so busy preparing for this up and coming and magical journey to Egypt that I literally forget to write. So much is happening.

It goes to show when you are doing what you love, things happen! It is hard to believe in 3 1/2 weeks I will be venturing again to the land of the great Pharoahs. I have the best group going we have ever had. The energy is perfect. It is an amazing endeavor.

Someone asked me what it is like to take people to places like Egypt and I laughed and said, "ALOT OF WORK" but it is so rewarding too. To see people awaken to a higher self. To experience people being alive at a new level. To see the faces of people when they see ISIS temple or the pyramids for the first time. It is so rewarding that the months of work that goes into it pays off.

Would I give it up. Not in a heartbeat. It truly is a joy.

When you are doing what you love, there is no 'work'. It is just what needs to be done. There is no suffering,there is no drama. There is just what needs to be done to have it be magical in every way.

When your attention is off yourself, miracles happen. When my attention is on this journey, so many other things get done. Life is funny like that. Focusing on what matters to you makes all the difference.

I am sure I will have stories and pictures to share of our journey. It will be magical in every way. :)

Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real

Today I am writing about the pervasive nature of fear.

Fear- The Acronym for fear is: FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL

Most people have a deep rooted level of fear that at best the tip of is conscious. The fear that human beings carry right now goes deep. It is not based on reality. There is a fear of the unknown, a fear of failure, a fear of success, a fear of loss and most prominently, the fear of ‘What if”.

That is governing the life of human beings. Human beings for the most part are walking around in fear pretending they aren’t or unconscious to the fact they are. Fear is the overwhelming conversation on the planet.

Our Brains are programmed to think and act from fear. Except that doesn’t leave much if any room for creation. Creation is a pure energy and fear puts out the light on creation.

There are two types of fear:

Real fear or authentic fear. Which is when your life is truly being threatened and questioned in the next moment. For example, your car is going over a cliff and you have no idea if in the next moment you will survive. Or a gun is being held to your head. You have no idea if and when the trigger is pulled you will survive. The next moment is questioned.

Unreal Fear or False Fear is everything else. The ‘what ifs’, the fear of failure, the unknown, all the experiences that SEEM like you will not survive or life is threatened but in reality, it is actually not. There is no question of whether the next moment of your life is being threatened although it may appear like it is. We live our life 99% of the time in some form of false fear, pretending it is real. We very rarely have real fear present in our life.


The experience of both are exactly the same. Your heart, mind and body react in the same way. Our Brain patterns are the same. But when you can determine between the two fears, you will see that life is not actually being threatened, then you can move forward.

Nothing is holding you back. The fears, doubts, worries, concerns are not based in any reality. They are perceived notions that happened in the past. If you never had an experience of rejection, you would not hesitate to do something that you could get rejected. It wouldn’t be in your brain pattern. However, the moment you got rejected, you would have a brain pattern that would then predict the next time and there would be hesitancy.

Living free from fear takes courage. Courage is having fear and acting anyways. Fear is the absence of confidence. You can not have confidence and fear at the same time. When fear shows up, you have a choice. Let is stop you, or take a deep breath and move forward. That is it.

The more you can see that you live in a life of False Fear, the more you will have freedom to live and CREATE the life you love.

Living Life Right Now

Life is a mystery. We are so engrossed so much in life that sometimes we miss it. I was in Turkey last week thinking about all the places I wanted to visit, and I was in TURKEY!

The Hopi Indians didn't have a word for past or future. If you engaged with them in conversation about the past, they didn't know what you meant. They lived in the moment.

So many humans "Think" they live in the moment and have no idea what it actually means to live in the moment now. They think that one moment of being present is having them in the moment. Not really.

When you are in the moment now, you are nowhere else. You are present to what is happening in the moment. Right now. You are alive. There is no fear, doubt, worry holding you back. You are 100% present, in life, in the moment. You are not projecting fear or worry. You are just being.

Being here now is a challenge but it is also a great reward. If you are in the moment you are living life.

Play full out in the moment, 135%. Life is short. There is nowhere to get. You are living in the moment now. Not yesterday, not tomorrow. Right now!

Thinking vs being Positive

There is a difference in positive thinking and being positive.

Positive thinking or magical thinking is in hopes that something will turn out. There is a magical sense of it. Good intentions but no real fulfillment. There is a sense of hope and doubt.

Being positive is a whole different game. You can be positive despite your circumstance. You can create a positive energy at any time. this is a creation. There is no doubt, no fear and no worry. You just are positive. It is who you are. Being always gives fulfillment. When you are being positive, life happens and miracles happen.

The key is to notice when you are being positive and thinking positive. Thinking positive will not leave you fulfilled. Being positive always has you fulfilled.


Take on being positive. Remember everything begins with Being.....

This is Your Life

If your happy and you know it clap your hands (Clap Clap).

What does it really mean to be happy? A life that is full of joy, of love, of forgiveness and compassion. Where no one or nothing gets me down. Where I can be who I am.

We spend so much time on what other people think, do or say and it gets us down. Why? They do what they do and it has nothing to do with you. You are your own unique self! You can only be upset at what other people do or say if you choose to. At any moment you have a choice.

Life is easy. It was never meant to be suffering. It is meant to be full of joy, wisdom, fun and adventure. You are the creator of that.

Why do we hold onto things? We live in a 3rd dimensional world full of fear, survival, "DRAMA", anger, etc. Love and joy can not exist in that realm. The more you focus on love and joy, the more you are out of that realm of fear. It actually takes less energy to be at peace than to be angry. We keep creating our anger and frustration. haven't you noticed that when you don't think about the thing which you are angry about, you are not angry? But we spend so much time and energy focusing on the things that don't make a difference, that we actually solidify it. WHY?

I don't let things bother me any more. life is to short to hold on to someone elses 'stuff'. Let them deal with it. I don't have to. By choosing people in your life that inspire you, you can be who you are.


Life is really short. You can either live life, or you can wait for it to happen. :)

Happiness is a choice. Happiness for no reason, other than I say so!
WHOO HOOO Let the games begin.
