Ultimate Freedom

 Guy Finley took us to completely new depths today as we spoke about How To Be Free. I was very moved - not only by how we can claim our freedom in every moment, but also how to use difficult moments rather than be used by them. This show is full of those moments when you just know that what you are hearing is true. 

Send me your thoughts when you listen to this one, it's a biggie. Scroll down the page here or go to Facebook

For more, Guy's new book is out Sept 8th: The Courage to Be Free.

Discover Yourself - "I AM" is out now!

More on... The Keys to Happiness

Happiness is not something that we find in life, it's something you bring to life.  I love the freedom of this!  No one can stop you experiencing love in your life right now, is what it means to me.  In these shows below Robert Holden and I talk about how it is possible to choose happiness and how to do that.

No More Self Improvement

Picture
One of the reasons I do what I do is that I don't think we humans need any more self-improvement. 

I think there are times when it gets tough, and we can all use new insights, but we don't need to become someone new.

After all, any one of us can brighten up in just moments if we bump up against the right idea, or spend time with someone who really listens to us.

I work hard to connect you with the best teachers and authors - the ones who are most likely to give you really, really good ideas. A good idea can light up a new way forward without requiring a new you. 

May you bump into lots of them today.   (read today's ideas on your authentic self here...)

today's thought

Freedom does not exist in the future
-Guy Finley

speaking on the show on Sept 3, 2010

Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

by Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange suns rays
and dares to claim the sky.


But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are
tied so he opens his throat to sing.


The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.


The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the
sighing trees and the fat worms
waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and
he names the sky his own.


But a caged bird stands on the
grave of dreams his shadow shouts
on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are
tied so he opens his throat to sing.


The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.

This Maya Angelou poem has popped in and out of my life many times over the years.

Today I found myself thinking of it again, and so I reprint it here for your enjoyment.

Don't stand on your "Grave of dreams" ... don't be content to sing of freedom.
Reach out and live.  You have the freedom to be everything you are. 
Do it now.

 A New Way To Handle Absolutely Everything is my labor of love.
It's the way I give back to everyone who has given to me and
whose lives are dedicated to offering what they know so that we all
have access to more love and more peace in our lives. 
(oh, just writing that makes me happy)
