MY DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

MY DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

"I hold these truths to be self-evident: that all people are created
with equal, independent and unalienable rights; among which are the
preservation of their own life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

I declare that Limitations are for people who want to limit their
life, and my life shall never again be limited by any thought,
expectation, situation, challenge, group, individual, philosophy,
writings, or insight. It is MY right to succeed in MY life.

I declare that negative people are to be loved, and to be appreciated
as for who they are, but no longer listened to, nor taken seriously in
the light of the Success Path I have chosen for my self.

I declare that I have the Talent, Strength, Power, Gifts, Determination,
Personality, Focus, and Actions that will produce and create the
Personal Success I seek.

I declare that Success is already a part of my life, and I just need
to walk in that Success, and that today I have CHANGED my thinking,
expectations, and actions and patterns.

I declare that I am a strong Latina WOMAN. I was Born for More, and
Destined for Greatness. I will have more in my life. More time, more
freedom, more income, more
happiness, more joy, more security, and more Life.

I declare that anything that will try to hinder me, I will go over it,
under it, around it, or through it..

I declare that my Success is assured as the sun rising tomorrow, and I
will rise in the light of my New Thinking, Expectations, and Actions
to Achievement that once thought impossible by others.

I declare that my life will start becoming what it CAN BE and WILL BE,
I declare FREEDOM from my former self and past.

I declare that I will work to foster loving relationships with both
other people and my self.

I declare I will never stop asking the neglected questions

I declare that today I will say Goodbye to anything different. And on
this day, my Personal Independence is assured, and will be my life
from this point

Purpose in an American World

It's Sunday night and Luis will be back tomorrow. I feel lonely without him; I will be excited to see him and hear about his adventure.

Over all it's been a relaxing week end. I was able to take care of some loose ends. I love starting my week feeling my life is organized! I went out to Grahams with Neil last night. We had a good time and acted silly. It's fun to just let go every once in a while.

Last night, as I stood at the bar, I started people watching. (something I do often) Grahams has particularly diverse crowd. It's a large place with 6 clubs in one. Due to the variety of music, the people cover a wide range of cultures and age , creating an interesting mix. People watching at bars is especially interesting, because through alcohol consumption, introverts become extroverts. I'm getting much better at analyzing mannerisms, speech patterns and the general demeanor of people. And I am now able to see straight through the characters people have created and see people for who they really are.

As, I watched I became bothered. Everyone seemed so desperate and lost. As I watched the hunt and games being played in between the males and females I wondered if they really had any clue as to what they were pursuing.

American Society as a whole is confused. People used to date to find a life partner. Today our culture is different. There has become such a blur between the roles of females and males. Divorce rates rise annually. Single moms, empty sex, cheating husbands. This is what we have created. All for the idea of personal independence. It seams to me that with out the idea our society once lived by (grow up, get married have babies and live happily ever after) people have no clear life purpose. They are lost.

Realization of my thoughts : Today, I am incredibly grateful for my life, Luis and the people around me because without them i would have no purpose and I would too be lost. So, Thank you!

Love,
Natalia

The "YES" machine

Good morning everyone, Its going to be a fantastic day!

I have been reading about subconscious programing and becoming more aware of the thoughts behind my actions and behaviors.

A brief explanation:

"Our subconscious mind is 88% of our brain power. It holds every little experience we’ve ever had – whether it was GOOD and BAD. It holds the memory of everything that has ever been said to us whether in words or actions. It keeps a record of every emotion we’ve ever felt – every joy, every sadness. It’s all information which acts as our “programming” and from all this information brings into our experience the things that we asks for.

Our subconscious mind is like a “yes” machine. And it always achieves what it’s programmed to achieve. Our thoughts and beliefs guide our actions. And our experiences mirror what’s in our subconscious mind.

We are what we THINK we are and create our own realities. Your subconscious mind is listening to every word you say, keeping a log for future reference. That’s its job. And it will bring to your experience whatever you direct it to with your words, your thoughts, and your beliefs. That then will become your reality."

I'm now working on "reprogramming" my self. Of course their is no such thing as a reset button. This is something that will take time and a little work.

For example - I have removed the words : But, try, can't and problem from my vocabulary. Doing this will allow both my mind and the person who I communicating with to clearly process the information I am putting out.

Another example: Think about something that is HARD to do... Now, why do you THINK its HARD? Probabilities are that someone thinks its very EASY. You just don't know HOW to do it. And with a little effort you will think its easy too!

With just these small changes my life is EASY and every I think becomes true... I LOVE MY LIFE!

OK, my friends, It was great to share my thoughts with you this morning, have a GREAT day!

Love,
Natalia

Living & My Desires

Today, I took Luis to the airport. (Hes has gone to California for a few days to visit with a friend.) I went back to his place and cleaned a little. I wanted to make sure his house would feel welcoming when he returned. I turned on the TV for some back ground sound and proceeded. As I cleaned I got caught up watching a program about people fighting terminal illness. As, I watched the show, I started to think about how I would live my life if I knew I was going to die.

My initial feeling was relief. The relief was a result of knowing I wouldn’t have to live up to any of my expectations. I could let go of all my dreams, ambitions and goals. I would be free!

The only regret I felt was from the lack of time I have spent with my family and loved ones. This is the biggest sacrifice I make every day because of my dreams.

I decided that if I knew I was dying things would drastically change. I would make my priorities spending time with my family and friends, reading and writing. I would focus on what I’ve neglected. And then thought about how I have so many things I think about, wonder about, would want to learned, and want to say… I would want get it all out of me!

After coming to my conclusion, the next question I asked myself was “ why aren’t you doing that now?

I decided the answer to that question is because I have a strong DESIRE to accomplish my dreams. Today, I am building a future -- I have a path -- I am becoming better and stronger -- I will impact other people’s lives....

The biggest realization of my thoughts was that I DO live life every day for the living. I live life to create, build, and develop. I make choices and sacrifices. I live life because I want to learn and achieve. I live life to be uncomfortable,to love, take risks, be afraid, and challenged. I live life to have more and be more than what I had and was yesterday. And that I truly am blessed and Happy

Love,
Natalia

Grateful to have You

Hello Friends,

Its cold outside and its past my bed time. I'm moving soon and my house now feels like a house. Change is coming and I realize this will no longer be my home. Its quiet except for the hypnotic humming of my refrigerator. And as I sit in my near empty house in my only remaining chair I feel grateful. I'm grateful for my family, my friends, and our world. My mind and heart are in harmony. I am grateful for yesterday, today and tomorrow.

2008 was a great year. I found love and realized what it is to truly forgive and give. It was a year of freedom and change. It was a year of spiritual abundance.

Today I'm honored to share my life with you. And want to thank you for the opportunity to be close to you. I want to share with you everything. 2009 will be the year that brings amazing change and journeys to our lives.

Love,
Natalia
