Answering the following questions will give you more clues to what your passion is:

1)    Why do you get out of bed in the morning? 

2)   Who is the most important person to you in the whole world?  

3)   What activity or thing is most important to you in the whole world? 

4)   What do you want to achieve before you leave this world? 

5) What do you really love about your life?

6) If you were stranded on a desert isalnd and could only have two things with you- what would they be?

7) If you had the power to change one thing about the world-what would it be?

I just recieved an email full of powerful reminders of how lucky and blessed we are to live in this country of such wealth and opportunity. I am reminded of how many times during the day I bemoan my fate, how hard a struggle it is,  and to stop-take a look around me and switch my thinking back into a positive track.

I am sure you have heard many times that you need to find your “why”, that when you find it it is that which will keep you going when times get tough and things get hard.  That is good advice and I have even taught it myself to coaching clients.

There is something about that however that I have come to realize-and it is this:  that most often those why’s are all about us. Me, mine-and what makes me happy. My little personal why.  

I do not believe anymore that a personal why is strong enough to take us to the place where we can really become all we can possibly be, to reach our full potential as human beings- to live from our true power and greatness, because it is not really about me and mine- it is about us, and ours.  It is about enough food, clothing and shelter for everyone- not just me.  Enough clean air and water for the whole planet, not just my city or town, my country.

We are truly one race on this little planet, and what happens on the other side of the globe does not stay contained over there- it affects me whether I know it or not. It affects me physically, emotionally and spiritually. And it affects you- and your family and your city or town and your country.

Am I saying self-sacrifice, go without- for the greater good? No, not at all. That is an old concept that needs to be eliminated from peoples belief systems altogether. Enlightened wealth can do more good for this planet at this moment in history than anything else-as money and influence really do make the world go around, and people stop and listen.

What I am saying is to find a why that is greater than just you, that drives you to reach beyond what you ever would just for yourself, that keeps you inspired and fills your heart and becomes greater than your fear- and strive to leave a legacy in this world, not because you just want fame and fortune-but because of what you can do from a position of fame and fortune.

Do you remember the old Starfish story that has been told in every seminar and book for the last 20 years? Think of it as this- one person can make a difference, but what if that child who, all alone on the beach throwing starfish back in, had seen a greater vision, and had gone running to get all of her friends to help, or was able to call up a TV station to come down and do a story of someone doing good, and call on the viewers to come down and help save the starfish- what difference would it have made then?

My challenge to you today is to sit down and write out your big “why” for yourself, what drives you to do what you do, then see how you can expand that out to include others beynd yourself and family, expand it out to include the whole world and see if anything changes for you, if a new vison unfolds in your heart and your mind- and then have the courage, the faith and the belief to act on it.

I used to teach my firewalk seminars simply because I enjoyed it, it was for me- but now- it is so I can help as many people as possible to find their big dream, their big why, their passion and their purpose, access their power and by walking the fire, use it as a tool to propel themsleves into the greatness that lies within each and every one of us- to “awaken the giant” as Tony Robbins put it.

 Together we really can change the world.

Duality- the nature of the universe.

Everything has a side that is constructive and a side that is destructive- and I learned last night that this is the case even for music.

 I play with a band and they are a great bunch of guys ( and now, just joined us- a gal) – but there is only one thing-they like to play LOUD!

 We practice at one guys house- in his living room- and it can get awfully loud in there. Now I beleive that music has the ability to heal, and is one of those amazing unexplained phenomenen that crosses all language barriers and cultures and can bring peoople together.

But last night- when the music was so loud-I found it doing the opposite to healing-actully hurting.  I cam home last night feeling utterly exhausted, when normally I feel exhilarated and alive. Today I actully felt “hung over”- even though all I had to drink was a cup of coffee!

I spoke with our new singer, the gal, and she told me that she actullay was feeling sick from the energy of such loud music…wow!

As we are both speakers and coaches and have trained our intuitive abilities and subtle energies- it is no wonder we were affected by the loud music while our bandmates were not. Also given the fact that they have played for years- they have no doubt adjusted, as humans are so good at, to the energy, noise and vibration of such loud music. I am not sure I want to adjust to that-in fact I know I don’t. So I am hoping we can meet in the middle, they can turn it down, the gal and I will cover our ears with headphones, and we can find the peace and joy in the music together, and bring it to others as well.

Just another reminder that as Buddha said- the middle path is the one to walk-and it is there you will find peace, harmony and balance.

Finally I am starting my blog- so now I guess I have to think of something to write about!

The name of this blog is Fire-Power! – and it is basically my ramblings on how to live a life that is stupendous, extradorinary, and filled with passion…because that is how I want my own life to be!

We teach what we most need to learn so they say- so be prepared to learn how to live an extradordinary life, how to overcome and transform obstacles, and how to become exceptionally wealthy in all areas of your life!

And away we go!
