When the ‘f’ word is very appropriate …

There is so much conditioning from society, culture, peers, religion, family, that is preventing so many people from being themselves, from doing what they would really like to do, from loving themselves, from being treated as they would like to be treated, from living their calling for the future of humanity and the Planet.

Now is the time to say f…. it!

There is no better time than now to drop all that you are not, to embrace your true power, to begin creating the life you would really like, to make your contribution.

Just say it and begin being the beautiful and magnificent you.

Beautiful poem by Rumi

Gamble everything for love.

If you are a true human being.

If not, leave this gathering.

Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.

You set out to find God, but then you keep

stopping for long periods at mean-spirited roadhouses.

Don’t wait any longer.  Dive in the ocean, leave and let the

sea be you.  Silent, absent, walking an empty road, all praise.

Rumi

Does the ‘Golden Rule’ really work?

Not for me, here is why.

We treat people according, first of all, to our beliefs of what is right, of what is normal, according to our culture, upbringing, education, etc.

Now, if I have the belief that it is ok to control my neighbour, and this could be for a variety of reasons, I will do that. This could be a belief from culture that it is ok to control people if they are foreigners and what they do is not ‘normal’ in that culture, or it could be caused out of fear,  out of insecurity, etc.

And maybe it would be ok for those people if they are controlled by others, and maybe they interpret control as a sign of ‘care’. To me this is a huge violation of privacy and totally unacceptable. 

So perhaps, the Platinum Rule works much better - do onto others as they would like to be treated.

It is time

A big part of my coaching work is to help bring about a positive shift in the way we treat one another.

There are so many upheavals happening in the world, and it is becoming more and more clear that people will not tolerate any longer to be abused or treated badly. Unconsciousness will need to become consciousness.

And there is one thing that is going to bring about a huge amount of healing and that is recognizing how we have treated others or ourselves. Unless we recognize, unless we become aware, we cannot change. 

And if you have been treated badly, how much healing would it bring to you if people who did what they did to you, actually recognized it instead of denying it maybe saying you made things up? And if they apologized too ….

So many people are totally unconscious of the way they are behaving. There maybe be some subconscious beliefs which say that if you are from the same family, they have the permission to abuse you.

Also they might think if they admit it, they will feel bad, they will be made wrong, etc. That’s a very important point - we also need to get out of the paradigm of guilt, blame, make wrong or bad, that would only prevent healing - we need to move into a paradigm of responsibility.

If we recognize what we have done and we do not make ourselves wrong, we are free to heal and change.

What if the time was now? How much healing would it bring to your relationships, workplace, friendships, communities, and to the Planet?

Keys to attracting and retaining customers

Again I have something very positive to say about Britain, as some companies really know some of the keys.

Here are some:

- integrity/honesty
- how well we treat customers - with respect and kindness
- care for client and really mean it
- attention to the client - products created with what is best for the person in mind as a priority
- value
- gratitude
- appreciation
- accountability/responsibility

Colossal Guilt

Certainly if you are Italian, you suffer from this.

Guilt is a very destructive emotion and you absolutely need to free from it - and whatever other people are saying, let them say. 

Maybe you are made bad and wrong for anything and everything, for not conforming, for not doing what they want, for being you. You are made guilty because you are made responsible for other people, for how they feel, for what they do.

This only builds a trap for you to feel bad about yourself and play small. You need to free from guilt if you are to be the magnificent being you truly are on this Planet and live your contribution. Start today.

Why do you allow yourself to keep being treated badly?

How many times do we put up with crap, with people who treat us badly? People choose how they behave, it is their responsibility, they are accountable for that.

I remember years ago when I was running a support group for social anxiety, somebody told me: people criticize me because I am shy and get anxious. Now, however we are or feel, there is no justification to criticize or judge us. There is no justification to treat others - and particularly children - badly because we are stressed at work.

Yesterday I was in an hardware shop to buy some stuff for work I need to do in my house. I did not know some technical names for pieces I need for the shower and the people there laughed at me - will I go back in that shop? No. They chose to laugh at me, they are responsible for their behavior - there are so many hardware shops, I will choose one where they treat me right.

Choose people that treat you right as you deserve.

What is love from magnificence?

You, as each person, is an infinite powerful magnificent being - all that is negative is what we are not.

When we let go of all the negativity, we reconnect with who and what we truly are. We do not need to achieve anything, we do not need to improve ourselves, we do not need to better ourselves, we do not lack anything, we do not miss anything. But we need to let go of ALL we are not. 

There are so many misunderstandings on what love is that is causing pain and suffering to so many people. To understand what love is, we need to reconnect with who and what we truly are. We can begin by asking: what is love from the point of view of infinite being? and allow the Universe to bring the answer to your awareness, you might not be aware of it consciously, but your awareness will know it on some level.

It is not that by denying the bad you make them good

I remember growing up I so often found in ’spiritual’ environments that you had to look at the good of the person and mentioning the negative of the person was not an option.

There are a few things to say:

- we need to get out of the blame, guilt, good bad right wrong dualities - this would only prevent people from changing

- if we do not see things fully as they are, we make ourselves stupid - awareness is key to our divine state - we need to see things and people as they are now in order to give them possibility to change and we need to see how people are in order to make choices for our wellbeing and welfare

- people, and we, choose who we are at every moment - we need to enter a new era of total and full responsibility in which we realize where we are, which unconsciousness we have and make choices to let it go
