Howdy Folks and Good Day!
What’s your vision for today? Yes, I do mean
literally today, the day you are living right now?
Do you know what you’d like from it? Do you know what your intentions for it are? When you think about the next 24 hours what comes to mind?
So often the only vision we hold of the day ahead is what we’re worried about and an overwhelming to-do list. So guess what we attract to us? Yep, everything we worried and stressed about!
What would happen if we took a few moments while still in bed, showering, or getting dressed to intend a great day? How would our mood and energy levels change if we envisioned all of our challenges having been resolved already? How long can we hold that positive expectation for ourselves?
Take it a step further and write down your intention for the day every day this week. If you need a reminder you can use the daily affirmation in SFPNN to prompt you.
Go ahead. Give it a try. Envision and intend a great day for yourself. Expect the best. Know you’re worthy of all of life’s blessings.
And have a truly great day!
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…
Rev. Jeanette

Living Your Vision
Dawn and I went down to the Shelburne Shipyard on Sunday and took the winter cover off from our boat named Attitude. Click for pics, if you haven’t seen her.
We popped the cork on a cold bottle of Sparkling Chardonnay
and toasted the start of another sailing season on
Afterward, we walked around, champagne flutes in hand, basking in the warm afternoon sun and looking at all the other boats.
I couldn’t help but think back to a time, not all that many years ago, walking around this same shipyard. I was in awe of the size and beauty of these sleek vessels and also a bit envious of their owners as I wasn’t one of them.
Today, Attitude isn’t the biggest or the newest, but she is one of the biggest and certainly one of the most attractive yachts on the lake.
As we strolled through the yard, I was reminded of how my vision for this had come to fruition.
This week, the training call I delivered to my Diamond Club Members was on Crafting Your Vision.
I went over the powerful reasons why we should all have an
inspiring Vision Statement for our life and our business—all driven by our Core
Values and our
We talked about an inner and outer vision (private vs. public) and how important it is to have a clear intention of what we want to create. It just may have been the best training I did this year. It is an important topic and one neglected by many.
I shared what I see as the biggest challenges as to why
people
A vision statement is a vivid, idealized description of a desired outcome that inspires, energizes you to create a mental picture of what you truly want.
As an example of a Vision Statement, I read some excerpts from my own Life Vision. And in reading it, I realized that almost every single thing I had written about had come true.
When I started this document in 1986 and updated it in ‘96, my life didn’t look anything like what I was describing. I was broke, had mountains of debt and wasn’t sure how to grow my business.
But now, I’m living my dream and I’m very grateful.
I know you can live your dream, too.
I got here by following the teachings of the masters. I didn’t do things perfectly, and I wasn’t always consistent. But I was very clear about my outcome.
I had a vivid, emotionally driven picture of the life and company I wanted to create. And Dawn and I—and a few part-time people—worked toward making it a reality.
Now, it’s time to buff up that vision—or maybe create a
whole new one. And I’m going to be spending all weekend doing just that in
I have great expectations for the process, so stay tuned.

5. Sir Froggie’s Pondering — from Sir Froggie
WEARING AN INVISIBILITY CLOAK?
Have you ever moved forward only to get knocked back, never knowing what hit you? Do you occasionally get stuck but don’t know why? Do you know what’s blocking you?
Or are your brick walls wearing an invisibility cloak?
It’s been said 95% of the solution is knowing what the problem is. Yet frequently we think we see the problem when what we’re identifying is really the symptom.
Finances are an easy example. There are oodles of people who manifest abundance and wealth either by hard work or sheer luck only to watch it disappear. They start over, make some progress, then something else comes up. They may think it’s because of a slow economy, a streak of bad luck, or a business deal gone sour. It’s as if they get so far and BAM! They crash head first into a brick wall. The trouble is they can’t see the brick wall is there. It’s wearing an invisibility cloak.
How can brick walls wear invisibility cloaks? Quite simply, they are our underlying beliefs. Beliefs are often such a part of us we don’t see them. It’s like wearing sun-glasses or looking through a tinted window for a long time. Eventually, our eyes adjust and don’t notice the tint. We simply look through it, not realizing it’s there.
Everyone has “blueprints” or learned belief systems programmed to a specific range of success or accessibility. If our parents constantly struggled, believing money and a life of luxury are hard to come by, on some level, we will too. Even if we tell ourselves, “I’m not going to be like them,” unless we examine and consciously change our core beliefs around earning a living and leading a luxurious life, we’ll struggle, too. Maybe we’ll undervalue the service or products we offer, or work for someone who doesn’t appreciate us. We may deny ourselves anything “luxurious” or get ourselves in so far over our head we lose it all and struggle to start over. There are any number of scenarios that will play out according to our belief system’s thermostat of prosperity and luxury.
Picture yourself walking toward your goal. You see it in the future. You have consciously put yourself on the right path. You’ve been moving toward it. It’s right in front of you. Then suddenly, BAM! Once again, you are stopped in your tracks. Why? Your goal is still right there. It’s still in your direct line of vision. But it’s as if an invisible force is blocking you.
It is. And it’s a brick-wall-belief wearing an invisibility cloak.
Here’s the thing about beliefs and brick walls… once we know they are there, we can do something about them. It’s when we can’t see them that we sabotage and hurt ourselves.
So let’s uncover this once and for all. Feel around, notice how hard the surface is. Wait, out of the corner of your eye you see something shifting in the breeze. It’s like an invisible cloak or veil is covering something. You pull the cloak off and move it to the side. Now you see it -- there’s a brick wall! It might be a really large one. Or it might only be a few feet high.
Now that you know what it is, you can deal with it.
Maybe you decide to just climb over it. Even if you need a ladder, you know where you can find one. Perhaps you can just walk around to the side of it. Or dig your way beneath it. Or even drill through it and install a door. Or disassemble it brick by brick. How you get to the other side is up to you. The important part is now that you’ve removed the invisibility cloak and know what you’re dealing with you can do something about it.
You’ve become aware of the belief that was holding you back. Maybe you were foolishly told you’re not _____ enough or you’re too _____. It doesn’t matter. You know what that blocking belief looks like, feels like, and sounds like now. You’ll recognize it and know how to move past it next time. So you continue forward…
There’s your goal again. Right in front of you. The path is wide open. You’re almost there. It’s just about within reach and everything looks so perfect… BAM!!!!
Wait a minute. You’ve felt this before. Look around. Do a little digging to uncover that brick-wall-belief. Ah-ha! There’s the corner of the invisibility cloak. Pull… pull… Finally, it’s off. It may have required a little more effort to remove the cloak this time but you knew it was there and didn’t let it stop you. Hey, this wall’s not quite as big as the last one. All it needs is a good leap of faith... One… two… three… You’re over it!
And so continues the journey of moving toward your dreams by building your awareness, strength, know-how, persistence and faith. You’re becoming an expert at recognizing when your beliefs are blocking you, uncovering them, and the moving through the real obstacles. You know when you’ve hit a brick wall and you know there’s a way beyond it. There’s no stopping you now -- as long as you remember to check for the real issues. Maybe even before the “BAM!”
Are your brick walls wearing an invisibility cloak?
