Times are a changin’ folks. That’s what I keep hearing – the buzzwords of conversation – but what does it really mean? Sure, times are always changing, but if you’re like me, I sense something much different, something more powerful and universal in this change.

In the last few months conversations have shifted from the doom and gloom of our economy to our own unique gifts and possibilities. Could it be true that something needed to rattle us up, move us about, and cause us think about what we really want in life? YES! Sure, it isn’t comfortable, secure, or even fun at times, but as I move about the world, I’ve found more people with greater clarity about their purpose and talents than ever before. There are more entrepreneurs, more products and services, and more money, believe it or not, than ever before in the world.

TheShiftWelcome to The Shift, appropriately described by Wayne Dyer as a complete change in thinking and being. A shift that occurs in small actions every day to a beingness that is more innately who we are.

It sure seems like we were forced kicking and screaming into it, and maybe that’s the way it had to work for us to break from the norm and set ourselves free, but at least it is happening. So in the midst of stress and confusion over what to do now, remember there is always a way and there is a job out there for you. You may have to create it, however. So as your friends go on and on telling you how, “Nobody is hiring” and “Our state has the highest unemployment rate,” someone who believes there is a job out there and acts upon it, is snatching up that wonderful job right now. Get out and get started! At least peruse your job options! Let your network help you – get out there and talk about it!

Turn of your TV and turn on your positive thinking. Stop filling your mind and heart with things that do not serve you PowerOfPositiveThinkingor anyone else for that matter. You deserve the best and only you can give that to yourself. Only you can decide what that is. Surround yourself with thoughts, ideas, people, and activities that support you and don’t pay attention to the rest. Think about the ideas you entertain and just how true they really are. Create affirmations that work for you and repeat them daily so that you may refocus your attention on what you actually desire for yourself and the world. There will be some days that you can’t think of a reason why you should be positive or optimistic – those are the days when you do in for the sake of feeling good and later on, when you’ve created exactly what you desire for yourself, you can pat yourself on the back for “knowing it all along.” You really are brilliant, you know. Give yourself some credit.

PowerThoughtCardsWhen you take action this week, make sure your heart is in it. It is a waste of time to act upon anything we don’t believe we’ll get. Instead, take the time to get clear, focus upon what you want, visualize it, use all of your senses to really feel it and then move forward from there. You will amaze yourself with success.

Use this time to your advantage. Think differently and enjoy the ride. It’s a powerful one!

In times of uncertainty lies the greatest opportunity…

Go now. Be Brilliant,
