3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

I've learned that if you're a natural at something, don't let your conscious mind get in the way! Procedures are great where you don't have a consummate skill, but if its your forte, they actually get in the way. Instead, you simply relax, act on intuition and simply "observe" the action flowing from you!

This of course is where the power of faith comes in. From my Christian era (1983 - 2009) I learned and saw with my own eyes how faith can make things happen. What I have subsequently learned is that the source of its power is in the belief itself, not the thing believed! This means that with self-belief tempered with empathy, you can do almost anything!

Consequently, with my talents, I let them flow naturally from me, knowing the supply is limitless so I do not feel any "pressure" to deliver. It's this ability to relax and let your talent flow that I pass on to my clients

9. ZEN WISDOM

By helping other people become happy, we too become happy. How can those suffering in the depths of hell, who have lost the will to live, get back on their feet? Merely thinking about our own problems often causes us to fall even deeper into despair. But, by offering a hand to someone who is also suffering, we ourselves regain the will to live. Taking action out of concern for others enables us to heal our own lives.
