Excited

OK so I have a few pots on the stove cooking and I am just absolutely excited about the outcome on each of those dishes. Pots=projects that I am working on. I am in the development phases of an all natural haircare/skincare line, writing a book, and trying to find my way in this whole "motivational speaker" thing. So there is a lot that I want to do, and I struggle to find the right direction. It is almost more then challenging to find out how to start, where to start. Everyone has advice, but they always say, "come to my next convention on ______________, and you will get some important resources that will help you get started."

It really isn't easy trying to find your way in the public speaking, mentoring, motivational speaking facet. Seems like everyone wants you to become their sponsor. You pay a few thousand dollars to listen to them tell you what they did and the mistakes they made to make it into that field. Needless to say, you have to spend more money to get their CD, book, DVD, and series; which is available NOW for ONLY the low price of $199.99 for the whole series exclusively today. Yea, right.

I believe that some of the best lessons are available free, we just have to search, look and really desire to find them and we will find them. Often times you spend your money and time searching thinking that you will be given this "key" when in reality you are only given part of the story. It is up to you to listen closely and get all the pieces of the puzzle you need to put it together yourself. Truth of the matter is most of these people are not going to tell you, you pay and they only give you partial keys.

What I find is that you get the keys from everywhere, everyone, collectively and you put it together. Some here, there and everywhere. It is up to you to string it together like a strand of pearls. You take the wisdom and connect it the way it should go, each piece fitting the one destined for it. The irony is that I wonder out of curiosity how many people are truly destined for the whole "motivational speaker" position. I mean, really? How many just see it as a means of profit to sell their next best idea? If you truly are as I like to call it a "life enrichment coach" you would be willing to share your knowledge openly. It doesn't mean that everyone is willing, able or capable of understanding and receiving it.

Now, don't get me wrong if they write a book they should sell it, because of the cost of publication, distribution and all those other things have to be factored into the whole equation. But to say that they will "teach" you to do something that in my humble opinion either you are called to it or not. There just are certain things that everyone can not do. Everyone is not an effective speaker, everyone is not able to relate to their audience and appeal to them capturing their attention.

So, I am saying this to say this we really need to pay attention to some of these "motivational" people. Some are good, others are very flashy, quick speakers who say things that sound good but you wonder OK, how is this relevant to me? How can I take this information and make it applicable to my life, and how can this improve my life? I consider some just like the "prophets" of the church who "prophelie" yes, I said it they PROPHE-LIE. They tell lies, and tell people what they think they want to hear. How does that help people? It doesn't it hurts them.

We even need to be careful with some of these preachers. I mean really. When you think about it you really need to discern their agenda. Everyone has an agenda. Mine is I want women to see the mistakes they are making. I want them to see the truth and not place blame on external forces, but accept accountability for the choices they made to attract the situations, lifestyles, and circumstances in their life to exist.

When we are able to determine that the key to everything that happens, happened, and is happening in our lives is ME, then we can change how ME thinks so that ME can change what it attracts. One reality is that the truth is consistent, and constant it never changes. You can like it, love it or even hate it either way it doesn't change. We struggle so often with the truth, not because of the source of it, but because it makes us question the very things that it challenges.
