I've always wanted a mentor. Someone to guide me and help me. I've always been a reader. When I was a kid, I carried around an big Lego box full of books. Yesterday when I was reading Wishes Fulfilled I realized that I have always had the most amazing mentors. That's probably one of the reasons I know so much ;) If there was a subject I was interested in or some area of my life I needed help or wasn't sure about something, I would go straight to the experts, a book. And not just one book, I'd buy at least 5 on the subject. It's good to have other view point on the same subject.
As I was visiting with my mentor, Dr. Wayne Dyer, who I'm not even sure if he's a real doctor cause these days it seems that if Oprah feels you should be a doctor, then you are a doctor. Talk about some power! Too bad Dr. Phil got there before me, Dr. Philly would've been cool.
Anyway, I'm reading his book Wishes Fulfilled. I can't put it down, it is so far the most powerful book I've ever read. The book is about mastering the art of manifesting. I feel like I've been talking the talk but I haven't really been walking the walk. That's why I haven't written in awhile, I've been trying to absorb and practice what I preach.
When it comes to manifesting something, you have to say it in the present tense, as if it has already happened. It caused me to look at my own life and see what I have been affirming. Let's start with my blog: my introduction explains it all. "Hi I'm Felicia and I'm a fat vegetarian". Really? What the heck was I thinking?! My boyfriend aslo pointed that out to me awhile back (he's so smart.) And in one of my first posts I think I even state that I'll probably change the name of my blog. Well guess what, oops I did it again, I manifested what I say, think and affirm. I'm renaming my blog, and I'm still a fat vegetarian.
But don't cry for me Argentina, I'm not that upset about it. We'll talk more about that in another episode. Oh and I also had a disclaimer on my first post I think. To be completely honest, the reason why I put it was because I was a people pleaser and didn't want to offend or leave anyone out. Here's a little pearl of wisdom, YOU CAN'T BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE. For those of you that are people pleasers too, don't worry, it'll get easier the more you stop worrying about everyone else. It's such an exhilarating experience. I feel like I'm a rebel again. And no one wants you to be their everything. That's why there are so many people, so we can help each other. There's people that I can reach that you can't and vice versa. You don't have to save the world by yourself. We're in this together. As I write this paragraph, Ziggy Marley's True To Myself just came on Pandora.
Life has come a long way since yesterday, I say
And its not the same old thing over again, I say
Just do what you feel and don't you fool yourself, I say
Cause I can't make you happy unless I am, I say, I say
Got to be true to myself, got to be true to myself
Day in day out I've asked many questions, I say
Only to find the truth it never changes, I say
If you don't deal with it it keeps killing you a little by little, I say
call me selfish if you will my life I alone can live, I say, I say
Got to be true to myself, got to be true to myself
I don't care if it hurts, I'm tired of lies and all these games
I've reached a point in life, no longer can I be this way
Don't come crying to me, I too have shed my share of tears
I'm moving on, yes, I'm grooving on ,well I'm finally free I've
Got to be true to myself, got to be true to myself
So today is about change. Change is good, to me change equals growth (that's what it should be about). Bye bye fat vegetarian girl, you didn't even craft that much anyway.
Hello Soul Rebel.
