The Dreaded Learning CurveOne of my 10 realizations when first starting the business – No. 4 to be exact – was truly understanding and knowing that I absolutely had to deal with a LEARNING CURVE – the dreaded learning curve — to everything I was learning. Some learning curves were steeper than others, some took less time than others, and there were those that seemed like forever before I “got it”.
KNOW WHO YOU AREWhen you know who you are, when you know who you really are, you will be on your way to experiencing a level of freedom and peace that you would not believe possible. All the false illusions that kept you bound will drop like dead flies. You will walk more lightly, be happier and more relaxed in this world. You will feel like a giant stone was lifted off your shoulders. You will finally be You and nothing will be impossible.
Is it all the things in this picture? What about bliss, cheer delight, elation, light-heartedness, exultation, mirth, merriment, ecstasy, gladness, wonder, glee? Is it happiness? Is it all of these or is it something deeper, something more?
The Torah I was surfing Facebook the other day and came across a video a friend of mine, Samii Nuku made. It really got my attention when I realized what he was saying. His video had to do with what You put out is what You get back and how important it is to be careful about what you put out. He talked about how important it is to project out what you want to get back in your life regardless of what You are going through.

Or is it more Important?I read somewhere that “the Journey is the essence of where life exists in all her glory.” Some people say it is the goal, the Destination that is the real Journey. Others say sometimes it is the Journey that teaches you about your Destination. So what is more important?
The Destination is a fixed dot, while the Journey connects the dots. Destinations are milestones; they are goals that give direction to life. Getting to your Destinations and achieving your goals will make you proud, while the Journey will make you wiser and stronger.
Does saying that life is about the Journey, not the Destination, deny the significance of the Destination? Does it encourage us to demote direction and embrace a shoulder-shrugging “anything goes attitude?” as expressed in this article written by Alex Mathers? Does this attitude give us a reason to hold back, to relax, to wander, to be aimless?
Is it not true that all of humankind’s greatest wins happened when people prioritized their Destination and went for it? When they treated Destination as survival, prioritized Destination and did whatever it took to get there?
So as with many things in life, the answer to this question is not a simple one. I think it lies in looking at both the Destination and the Journey.
Very often our decisions focus on the outcome, the goal, the Destination. Sometimes you want to focus on the path, and sometimes on the Journey instead. So here is a way to look at both.
Is it choosing the best option/path, having the best experience/Journey or creating the best outcome/destination? Dig deep and ask yourself what the best option, experience or outcome might actually look like and know up front that not all decisions will have the same answer. For example:
When you focus on the path/option, consider what is the fastest option, the cheapest option, the one you like the most or maybe it’s a combination of all of these? The perception a person has of their choice often affects their experience. You can focus on your options when the experience and outcome will be about the same no matter what option you choose. Or when you can’t predict what the experience or outcome will be.
When you focus on the Journey/Experience, you can consider, for example, that for short ones with quick implementations, you can ignore the experience and focus on the outcome. But for long ones, you might want to take into consideration the Journey as well as the outcome.
When you focus on the Destination/outcome, you might want to consider the option that creates the best result, or in other words the one with the best chance of succeeding. For important goals, the Destination can be more important than the Journey.
Surrendering to the Universe’s flow makes you stronger, not weaker. Living on purpose means that you must surrender to a path that you can’t fully see. In life we only get one glimpse of the next right step at a time. The end result is sometimes blurry and hidden. But, the Universe may be guiding you toward a better path, helping you avoid a disaster you couldn’t perceive, or teaching you a lesson you needed to learn before advancing to the next step of your Journey. When you allow yourself to surrender and co-create with the Universe, it’s a powerful combination that generates great insight and joy.

Making Decisions…There’s a lot to making decisions. This article will cover some of what goes into making a decision, how we make them, how difficult or easy it can be, and more.
We spend an awful lot of time, and a tremendous amount of energy, making choices between equally attractive options in everyday situations, the mundane situations as well as the more complicated ones. The problem is, that while they may be equally attractive, they are also differently attractive, with tradeoffs that require compromise. We ask one question, which leads to the next and to the next and to next. It can drive a person crazy.
Do we go with our logical brain or do we go with our emotional heart? Do we go with our intution or our reasoning? Here are some things to think about when making decisions.
