"Yes We Can"

"YES WE CAN!"-Barack Obama

Barack Obama, has to be the freshest, stimulating and the most empowering positive person that has stepped into the public eye in the arena of politics . He is a rare breed that dares to speak out against the "Establishment" that has for too long governed the minds of men. In many ways he is giving back the power to the people, enabling them to have a voice and begin to believe in their own truth. For too long the veils of secrecy have hidden the souls of the masses. He now steps out as a beacon of light giving hope not only for America, but the nations around the world.

I use his power as an affirmation, as a stance and an example as he is someone I feel with a presence. Yet we all have a presence and a voice.

As many people begin to awaken, an era of self development and awareness steps in giving the human spirit a wake up call.

I continue to be deeply inspired by many students and clients alike, that the energy that we channel, can and does change lives. In order to find the self or to begin the journey of self discovery, one important ingredient is always added to the recipe of success. That all important ingredient is what encourages us all to develop and change our lives for the better. The ingredient is FOCUS.

Focus enables us to believe in something that we want. It ignites a passion and a thrive for change. It brings in new hope and belief.

The focus of living, of connecting, of being a being of light, has been brushed aside, with the essence of unconditional love swept from our society.

But there is hope.

Many times within workshops or courses I have heard people say, "I cant do that". The moment you send that message to the brain, the mind begins to believe it. It has an overall effect on the body, creating a limiting process. When you send out constant reminders to the self that you cant do something, You believe it. Yet with focus and intention , they realize that they can.

"I believe" was given to us by Martin Luther King, who, perhaps was born before his time. Yet he gave people hope. Many musicians and writers were inspired by his words. Perhaps Barack Obama is the freshest and most invigorating person to step outside of America since then.

Too many people are focusing upon what might happen in years to come. Dont give it energy. Live in the moment, live with the belief, Yes we can!
