Dream Big
Dreams come preloaded with a guidance system. They know the fastest way to bring themselves into reality.
They also come with more than one path. I say this, because the fastest way is “as the crow flies,” which means it is usually the harder path to take. Most of us would prefer the shortcut, the Staples “Easy” button.
It might be that we are not confident of our ability to take that harder path. I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan. When Frodo and Samwise go forward on the journey alone, they are definitely taking that hard path. I always thought that if the Eagles could rescue them at the end when the lava was coming to kill them, why couldn’t they have dropped them off at the mouth of the cave?
The reason of course is that Frodo and Samwise needed to learn many things to enable them to win over the power of the ring and truly destroy it. Without those lessons, the ring would have won.
So it is with us. The harder path will teach us what we need to win through to the dream and be able to handle the changes that accomplishing the dream will make in our lives. If we take the easy path, the shortcut, then we may not gain the strength of character that has been tested and forged in the fire. Without this, our ultimate dream may not make it into reality.
So even when the dream points us in a direction that we think is too difficult—that we don’t think we possess the courage or skills to make happen—it is in our ultimate best interest to pull up our big girl/boy panties and go for it. I always tell myself that if the Divine gave me this dream, then He also must have given me the skills needed to bring it to fruition. So follow the breadcrumbs, and storm the castle!
Miracles
“Set your sights high – the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way.”- Eileen Caddy –
I remember how after my nephew was killed and my sisters nonprofit that she had started fizzled out, that I saw a way that I could reach out and make a difference, in helping the small nonprofits that get started every year to be more successful.
Like many of us, I saw myself creating something small. I would start a small consulting service, and figured that I would lobby corporations to pay my fees, as I helped the nonprofits fill in the missing pieces. I hired a branding company to help me figure out what my brand was. We spent three days (one on one) doing nothing but working on what I was creating, what it would be called, and what the brand would be.
As they worked with me they said “Sheryl you are playing way too small – don’t you see what you really have is a reality T.V. show? “As we talked it through I realized that they were absolutely right! I did have one, and my sights were expanded beyond anything that I would have thought possible.
I think that all of us do that. We get a glimpse of our vision, the purpose that we are here to do. And we pack it tightly in a small doable box. That way we think (subconsciously) we can accomplish this thing. Any bigger and it might fail. We play it safe.
Seeing the vision through their eyes I saw that we could showcase local small profits, and show how they too could expand their vision of what was possible. I realized all of the wonderful things we would accomplish when people in the their local communities joined hands to help them. This was a change the world idea and vision. It took my breath away to think that this was my vision.
I knew that this was a tremendous leap for me. This was literally like going to the moon. I had no idea how to even start. I didn’t have a database, or following. My career in the banking industry had nothing to do with a T.V. show. I knew no one in that field that I could even ask questions of. I had limited funds with which to accomplish this. But now that my eyes had been opened to seeing the possibilities of what this vision could accomplish there was no going back. That box was in the recycle bin and I was going for the moving truck – extra large load.
I started doing things that I knew I could do. I started networking to build a database. I worked with BraveHeart Women to develop the website. I hired a VA to help with social media and got that part up and running. Each month I started something that I could do to build up towards the goal of having a reality T.V. show.
Very soon the website will be launched. I have grown a following of close to 1,000 men and women, and everyone that I talk to about LemonadeMakers gets very excited about the wonderful things that we will be doing. The plan is to grow the site to help the nonprofits and when we reach several success stories to begin marketing our reality T.V. show.
There truly is nothing that has ever gotten in my way during this journey so far, other than myself. I am living in this space of knowing that anything is possible, and that LemonadeMakers is a world changing idea whose time has come.
I know that all of you came here with a vision. I encourage you to look at what you think that vision is about, and then talk with others about it. See the vision through someone else’s eyes and watch it grow into the vision that it truly is. You didn’t come here to play small. You came here to light the world on fire.
Set your sights higher than you think you can leap.
Expect the most wonderful possibilities and don’t let “you” or anyone or anything get in your way.
Miracles happen every day.
Expect miracles and they will happen for you too.
Buts
Worry is one of those “buts” or “what ifs” that we live with. I am amazed at the amount of transformation it has made in my life. Message us or post a comment here if you want more information about it!
DYBO
Once you identify this feeling, work with DYBO and recognize, release and restore yourself to let go of the low vibrational feeling from your body. DYBO is a BraveHeart Women program that helps us to move stuck emotions. In this case the stuck emotion that is triggering your worry. You learn to dance your buts off – not the butt you sit on, but the buts you live with.
Spirit
This a great song that was just shared with me. I love the lyrics and she does a wonderful job singing the spirit of the song. Amazing young woman and it inspires me to see young people like Willow and my granddaughter Trina Grubb recognizing so many things that it took me years to see.
Accomplishment
“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.” – Gail Devers – Three-Time Olympic Champion in Track and Field
I was talking with several women whom I consider to be my sisters. We were discussing the vibrational energy underlying words. Sometimes the words themselves carry a distinct vibration of positive or negative energy. Sometimes it isn’t the words themselves that carry the vibration, but the meaning that is given to them by the speaker, which seems to raise or lower the vibration by the power of the passion of the speaker.
The word “hope” may seem to be a positive word, but in fact because of the “maybe” energy vibration of it, we can feel a negative vibration. “Try” in this quote seems to me, to be very similar in having a underlying current of negativity, in that there is a “maybe” trailing along the vibration of the word.
“I will give it a try, maybe it will work, probably not”. Can’t you just picture Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh saying that line?
Then there is the famous Yoda quote “no trying, do or not do”.
So when I read this quote I realized that I didn’t feel a “maybe” energy in her quote. What I felt was a curiosity – could I accomplish this? What would it look like? What things would I have to try? What have others done to try and accomplish this? Could I look at this in a different way? Sort of like she found something that she didn’t recognize, and was looking at it from different directions, trying to see what it might be used for.
Since Gail is a Three Time Olympic Champion in her sport, she obviously brought a powerful “I can do this” attitude to her sport. She wasn’t defeatist in any manner, or she wouldn’t have been a “Three Time” winner – and defeatist is the attitude that we normally attach to the word “try”. So her energy, beliefs, and her vibration move the normal energy of the word “try” up the vibrational scale to a new height.
It is interesting to feel into the vibration of the words that you use. If they carry a negative vibration, people will respond in a “pushing” you away manner without realizing why. They subconsciously sense the undertone vibration of what you are saying and it feels uncomfortable.
When watching others talk, feel into the vibration of the conversation. See where someone is “needing” something. Where there might be “convincing” going on, or outright manipulation. This is totally different energy than sharing about something wonderful in your life, and asking for someone to celebrate the accomplishment in an energy of joy and celebration.
Once you can see the energy of the conversation from when others are speaking, it becomes easier to begin seeing it in yourself. I am sure that someone has talked with you in the past, and then mid-sentence they stopped themselves and said wait – that isn’t the right word, and then searching in their mind, they find the word that matches the vibration of the story they are telling. They may or may not realize it, but they have learned to communicate in the energy vibration of what the story they are telling demands.
What this does is it allows you to change the energy of any conversation back into a positive vibration, whenever you notice that it has dipped into the lower negative energy patterns. People are drawn to others who uplift the energy of the conversation.
So don’t be an Eeyore in with your word choices. Instead choose the words you use wisely, always looking to raise your own vibration. Changing yourself, changes the world around you.
abandonment
Once this feeling has a context to it beyond just worry, take that feeling back in time to when you felt just like this feeling. Keep tracing the feeling back to a time where it wasn’t labeled and identified as a particular emotion, just a feeling that you didn’t really understand. That is where that feeling was born, before you really understood the concept and labeled it. Maybe it was a feeling of abandonment.
unconscious trigger
What I really need to do is to go beneath that unconscious trigger and determine what my worry is really about. How would I go about doing that? The first thing to do is to notice that you are worried. Let go of the worry and enter into a state of wonder in your mind.
Change
We have the habit of thinking that change is hard, because we think of change as being a huge undertaking. We think of losing 100 lbs instead of just replacing the candy bar with a delicious piece of fruit; we think of adding exercise as running a marathon instead of just replacing 10 minutes of watching TV with a walk around the block.
Subtle changes create an avalanche because they are small shifts here and there until the weigth of the change becomes a tipping points. They are easy to do and you will be surprised by how much change can happen, seemingly overnight – the proverbial overnight success came from a practice building in momentum until the avalanche roars down the mountain.
I encourage you to think of what subtle changes you can make that will shift you and thereby the world to a happier, healthier place to live.
Today’s Lesson in Ease: Momentum
Subtle changes made consistently along the way contribute to Momentum. Small subtle shift in the inner hidden base of a snow-covered mountain create the necessary Momentum for an avalanche. I now choose to consistently create subtle shifts along the way.

arguing
Instead of arguing with the worry, transform the vibration from negative to neutral. A neutral, natural curiosity vibration of “I wonder why” I am worried about he/she taking longer at the store than they thought.
