“There is a raging historical river that is red with the blood of truth-tellers. So it’s not uncommon to kill the messenger.” ~ Will Smith (Interview excerpt about his view of the NFL in his movie concussion) I hear his pain and feel like I have the emotional wounds of people who choose to take out the messenger, rather than be truly open to the message. For so long I believed even the people who were asleep in relation to personal awareness could be enlightened to see their truth. While this is true, at what cost? It’s time to stop trying to help the people who simply don’t want it. While many will get this, there are others that won’t, as they are still holding onto a story they’ve told themselves for so long that it’s become their truth. The more you live in your head, the more disconnected from yourself, and therefore your reality, you are. Thus you look for facts and opinions to validate the existence you inhabit. The ‘ignorance is bliss’ people pay a much bigger price for not knowing – As for the people around them, they get to sit around and watch them show up every day as half the person they could be. From this day forth my work is NOT about growing you. It’s about growing you so you can in turn grow others around you. It’s about uncovering your gift and leveraging your talents to unleash it on the world. If you keep insisting you’re already deeply aware, if you think you’ll do the inner work when you have the time, if you simply want to argue as apposed to let go and be open to what you cannot see, if you want to focus on financial gain in isolation, if you’re content with walking this earth only looking for opportunities (as opposed to being open to possibilities), or if you’re too busy to take time out … then my work is not for you. To the people who want to impact the world my door is wide...

Do I love the work I do? 2016 Questions: What do I need to let go of? What do I not want to see? Why am I so afraid of allowing people to really see me? What’s the clarity I don’t want to see?

While I’m far from an expert on parenting, I’m always evolving and open to feedback… and Hopefully you are as well. In this video I discuss the importance of parents giving themselves permission to take time for themselves over and above what they do for their children. Children who grow up an in an environment where parents put a value on their own skin, are more likely to do the same in their lives, resulting in a strong confidence that most people (children and parents alike) lack. Where as the effects on children who grow up exposed to parents who don’t make space in their lives and hide behind their kids (or worse, resent them) can have dramatically different results on the child’s future self-worth. If after watching this video you find value in this message and think any other parents might too, feel free to share it along....
