TIP: Be Like Babe Ruth

It was game three of the 1932 World Series, Babe Ruth’s last, and he was up to bat. He said he allowed the first two strikes against him because he didn’t like the pitches.

What happened next became a highlight in sports history. He pointed two fingers to center field past the flag poll, and legend has it that he said that’s where he was going to hit the ball.

Not only did he do it, he hit a home run. The Yankees won the series.

Have you considered that you can call your own shots in your life and business?

A masterminder took this story to heart.

She went to a business Happy Hour and discovered they were handing out tickets to win gifts.

When she expressed her delight that she’d win a door prize, the woman at registration said that she’d have a chance at winning a door prize.

The masterminder replied, “No, I’m going to win a door prize.”

And she did. Later, she said, “I did what Babe Ruth did. I pointed at what I wanted, so it happened.”

She’s getting similar results in her business.  Sets her goals and achieves them. Her business has multiplied in a few short months as well as her joy in living.

Your TIP this week is to identify something you choose and to allow yourself to receive it. 

Here are a few steps that can help you.

1. Make a choice.
2. Believe you are powerful and can receive what you choose.
3. Allow yourself to receive.
4. Trust in yourself and the process.
5. Let it go. Forget about it. Don’t try to figure out how you’re going to manifest it. Be free of concern. Instead anticipate that good things always are working in your favor.
6. Take inspired action.

A key is to feel good about what you’re doing, your business and life. This is most easily accomplished when you let go of resistance – a.k.a. focusing on what you don’t like, what’s not working, who or what’s bugging you.

It might be easier if you think of it like turning channels on a radio. You have to tune into the right frequency to get the channel you want.

You can tune into your success in whatever that means to you: financial, relationships, wellness and happiness.

You can do this because your Essence is always tuned in to all success 24/7, and you have 24/7 direct access to your Essence.

Once you get the knack, life and business are so much more fun… and lucrative.

TIP: You’re a Winner

 

Did you ever have any of these thoughts?

I’m not good enough. If people knew what I feel behind my confident smiles or where I came from, they’d be surprised. I’m afraid of failure and success. I’m waiting for the other shoe to fall – yeah, it’s good now but it probably won’t last. What if I make (another) mistake and lose it all? There’s either not enough money or, when I have enough, I’m afraid it’s going to run out. Maybe there’s something wrong with me.

I’ve lost count of how many people have told me stories like this.

A woman was burdened with similar perspectives throughout her life. They played in the background of her thoughts like a persistent, low-grade fever.

Even though her business more than quadrupled in four months, she was afraid of not having enough time and that her success might be short-lived.

During her Belief Release session, she woke up to her personal power and let go of clouded thinking.

How? She replaced doubt, limit, fear, anxiety and lack through her power of choice, perspective, love and putting her Essence in charge.

She felt happy and freer than ever before.

Your TIP is to recognize YOU’RE A WINNER RIGHT NOW!

Take one instance where you don’t feel good about your life or business, and change your perspective.

Reframe you and your situation from being a loser to a winner.

What did you learn?

How did you become stronger?

Choose to let go of the past.

Now, with you as the artist of your business and life, what do you choose? What does your ideal business or life look like?

When you clear out your inner cobwebs, you’re able to hear the inner whisperings of your Essence and receive guidance and direction for your next step and greater success.

Stop listening to others’ fears and limitations about yourself that you may have believed were true.

Recognize you were born a winner regardless of circumstances then or now… and YOU STILL ARE A WINNER!

This is a new moment.

Go forth and create something wonderful.

TIP: The Happier Choice

A man tried to passive-aggressively manipulate a woman, by attempting to get her to doubt herself, so she would do what he wanted. An insecure woman controls her friend’s behavior by using her illness and fearful threats of taking away something he needs. He goes along with it because the intimidation clouds his ability to believe in himself and that he can find a solution elsewhere. A therapist got angry with a peer who didn’t buy into her fear-based bullying which she communicated by demeaning words, raised voice, blaming others and mocking tone. When change occurs, some people feel they’re losing control. It can feel as if their very life is threatened, and they’ll do whatever it takes to survive. Chances are the perpetrators won’t see or believe what they’re doing. Stand at arm’s length if you try to tell them lest they throw a punch. Ever hear the adage about not trying to teach a pig how to fly? A pig can’t fly, and you’ll just irritate the pig. Yes, forgive them for they know not what they do… and take care of yourself! You have a responsibility to be steward of YOUR life. You have a choice to be a follower of someone else’s fears and expectations, and give away your power, or think for yourself. You won’t be truly happy unless you follow the rhythm of your own drum. In avoiding dealing with situations like these (and there are countless variations), you might believe that when the people disappear into the sunset, it will be happy trails forever more. Not true. Unless you address your “stuff,” you carry this vibration, these feelings, in your energy field. You’ll attract more of the same type of people and experiences in the future, even if your current situation goes away. Why? Life offers you opportunities to grow, release what’s not serving you and be free. What does this have to do with you and your goals? If you succumb to fear, you may find yourself doubting your ability to be richly compensated doing what you love. You deserve much more.

Your TIP is to make the happier choice.

• Trust yourself. Listen to the voice within and what your gut is telling you. Don’t elevate others’ opinions over your own.
• Believe in your Self. YOU have a hotline to the Divine. Don’t diss that connection by letting others convince you that they know what’s good for you more than you do.
• Don’t give away your power to fear and self-doubt (others or your own).

How can you do this?

• Make choices on your behalf instead of trying to please people or kowtowing to fear. Your choices matter. You matter.
• Listen to your inner guidance. Even if you’ve been ignoring it for a while doesn’t mean your spirit isn’t available 24/7 to give you nudges as well as to light up the best direction for you to take.
• Pay attention to how you feel not to what you think you should do based on others’ opinions. Let good-feeling mojo be your guide.
• Be in the now. The ego will have you long for or regret the past or be afraid of future what-ifs and worse-case scenarios. In the present, you can change your thinking and handle anything. Your power is in this moment.
• Anticipate the best! Why not? It’s the attitude that brings positive results.

You can achieve your dreams in ways that surpass your wildest imagination. However, you must be a vibrational match to them.

Fear, manipulation, doubt and worry create more of the same. None of these are real.

Remember your Source, the real You, and make the happier choice: loving, supportive, creative, growing, free and in the Now.

Remember this, and you’re unstoppable!
