Keep Learning!

Every single person I know who is unhappy and stuck balks at learning. They may resist a life-lesson that stares them in the face. Or they might cling to the status quo and fight every inevitable change.

Every single successful, happy person I know loves to learn.

Keep Learning!

On Saturday I trained Joe Vitale’s Miracles Coaches http://miraclescoaching.com/apply team in my way to find and clear beliefs that keep each and every one of us in a small box of our own making. Those beliefs separate us from the abundant opportunities and resources available to us all.

With this is extraordinary group of dedicated, experienced and caring people, my concern was that nobody would admit to having anything to work on.

Guess what? They had plenty of stuff – painful, bewildering, confusing stuff. That’s because they are human. What sets them apart and contributes to their remarkable success with clients is that they keep learning and learning and learning.

On Friday night I had dinner with Joe and his beloved Nerissa. A major factor in Mr. Attractor Factor’s ability to accomplish more than most people ever even dream about in a lifetime (or 10 lifetimes!) is his insatiable thirst for knowledge. As fast as he learns something wonderful, he finds a way to share it.

I learned so much over Thai lettuce wraps! An amazing idea to improve the BREAKOUT Weekend, new ways to communicate old ideas, websites to visit and a killer title for an article.

In search of a summer learning adventure I took a 4 day Qigong course in San Diego. At 67 I did wonder if I’d be the oldest, stiffest, chubbiest, least experienced person there – I wasn’t! Though it was a challenge, I completed every single exercise and form all the way through including the one that lasted 2 hours. I loved it. My body, mind and spirit learned a lot.

Richard is 67, like me. Though he has a lot of physical problems, he’s happier than he has been in years. He is learning how to read – fast! We work together twice a week . Teaching adults how to read thrills me beyond description.

If you’d like to learn something that will enhance and enrich your life forever, come to the October 24-26 BREAKOUT Weekend in Palm Springs:

Coaching the Coaches

Austin, Texas, here I come. I’m flying out tomorrow to work with the Miracles Coaches team.

Joe Vitale (author of “The Attractor Factor” who is featured in “The Secret”) put the program together to share the insights, principles and life-skills that contribute to the amazing success he has achieved. Now people can learn in a few weeks what it took him a lifetime to master. http://miraclescoaching.com/apply

The feedback on the program rocks. I can’t wait to spend time with this group of seasoned, inspired and dedicated life-coaches doing what I love best. Teaching people how to uncover hidden limiting beliefs that block success and happiness and break free from them still thrills me after all these years. With this knowledgeable group it will be one advanced class for sure!

Life delivers amazing opportunities. Sometimes it only takes clearing away one or two beliefs to see them. Here are two quizzes you can take to break out from some of you own limiting beliefs: http://mandyevans.com/beliefreliefquizzes5.html

Celebrate the Fruits of Your Labor

Here in the US on the first Monday in September we celebrate with a tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country.

After a hundred years of observance there is still a lot of doubt about how it all started. One thing seems sure – it’s a great idea for a holiday.

It also points up a topic of confusion and controversy I hear a lot about – The Law of Attraction VS that stuff about reaping and sowing.

I get emails every day expressing anger, fear, frustration. People say that they’ve seen “The Secret” 12 times and read “The Attractor Factor” 3 times. They’ve said their affirmation for attracting wealth 10 times a day and nothing has shown up but their credit card bill.

I’ve seen “The Secret” too. I even wrote a segment in the “Attractor Factor.” I cannot find the part about not doing anything. Or the part about cultivating fear, resentment and anger.

You have to take action! You can’t just lie there. You’ll get bed sores.

The question that takes some delving into, some work to get clear about is: What kind of action?

Happy action! Action that is likely to lead to what you want – not away from it.

In addition to the barbeques, beer, movies and such, for a wonderful holiday weekend:

Celebrate the fruits of your labor. It took a lot of work just to survive as a human being on planet earth. Take a rest from struggle of all kinds (you won’t forget how in one weekend) and give yourself a true holiday.

Be grateful for the labor of all the people through the generations that have given us so much.

Be happy now! Even before you fix all of the things you would like to change in yourself, your relationships and our world.

Wherever you are on this glorious planet earth, have a blessed and beautiful weekend!
Love,
Mandy

Invest in Yourself

When the prosperity arrows glow red and point down where do you invest your resources?

In your self! There is only one dear, precious you.

Here are my tips for investments in “down times” on any budget.

Recommended...

Time: Every moment spent in happiness is well spent. Happiness is free. It’s the ultimate reward and end goal of fulfilled desires anyway.

Effort: Use it on worthy goals. Worthy to you that is. It could be a clean closet or a cure for cancer. What is worth some elbow grease, some brain-challenge for you to be able to say “I did it!”

Pleasure: Highly underrated, often judged. When I came out of a theater the other night, the sky blazed as the sun sank behind Mount San Jacinto. People stood in the parking lot gazing at the soul-stirring beauty. Ahhh. We felt a sweet connection that is so often missing in the illusion that we are separate and alone here on planet earth.

So often we put pleasure at the end of a never-ending to do list. Reverse the order! It’s like having a no-calorie dessert first.

Relationships: Take some time to nurture those relationships that sustain you and enhance your life.

Is there a thank-you note you might write to someone who contributes to your well-being? An over-due love letter to a parent, child, spouse or friend? A call to encourage a loved one who is struggling?

Education and Enlightenment: Learn! Read. Take seminars like the BREAKOUT Weekend in Palm Springs (info at http://www.mandyevans.com/.) Master a new skill. Put yourself in a new environment; it may be just around the corner or across town. Give yourself a brand-new experience.

Eyes on the Prize: If you know what you want move toward it. You may have to go over, around or find a new way but keep your eyes on the prize until you get what you want or think of something just as wonderful or even better.

Investments to Avoid...

Time and energy spent in fear, guilt, anger, resentment, blame or regret.
Commiserating with friends, co-workers and family about how awful it all is.
Following a path that leads away from what you want.

Wishing you happy returns on all of your investments.

Heading Towards What You Want?

Are you moving toward what you want or attracting it to you?

Or are you trudging wearily, dutifully, maybe even resentfully, in the opposite direction?

I've been looking at this with people all week. Here are a few examples:

A programmer uses every ounce of his energy grappling with problem he doesn't like solving while dealing with personalities who are not a match for his.

He longs to work in nature and spend his days outdoors. A young man dreams of a work environment filled with inspiring, challenging cohorts. He spends 10 hours a day trying to convince an old-fashioned boss of his vision on a project this boss controls.

Then there is me. During a recent visit I hit an awful impasse, a terrible snarl of non-functioning communication with someone I adore who is really important to me. We hit reached sorry stalemate. When we parted the best we could come up with is "I love you," neither one of us knowing where to go from there.

Sometimes if you want to change your life, attract a new adventure, see what it's like to have a new job, a new relationship you have to turn and take a step in a new direction.

Daring to reach for something you never stretched a hand out to before takes courage. Getting something you never thought you could have feels like a miracle. Maybe that's what a miracle is.

Before you take a "These Boots Are Made for Walking" approach though, sort out the beliefs and feelings that create that unworkable situation you want to break out from.

What worked for me and my coaching students might help you too.

We dispelled fears of bad credit, disapproval, uncertainty, loss of love and a host of limiting, self-defeating beliefs.

We moved beyond blame or guilt to take responsibility for our own emotions and our own lives. Each of us dared to be happy or at least arrive at a state of peace with the way things are now.


It's easy to settle for second best, but it's hard to get enough. So we sharpened our focus on what we really want.

Now we're ready for miracles!

Like these:

• Selling a million dollars worth of mansions in transactions that work well for everyone involved.


• A job as a park ranger and finding a nature loving a soul mate.


• Walking away from a dead-end low paying job to take one of several promising opportunities that may lead to the work experience of a lifetime.


• Communicating in a new, productive, loving way.


• Always being well accompanied and cherished throughout this lifetime.

What miracles would you like to gear up for?


The BREAKOUT Weekend, October 24-26 is another opportunity to join 24 like minded seekers of freedom from beliefs that block happiness and success. I hope you'll join us in charming PalmSprings, CA. Information/registration www.mandyevans.com .

Let's break out to miracles!

To Your Happiness! Success! And Miracles!

Accept Miracles

Some people accept miracles. Other people except them -- as in exclude. Please forgive the pun! I couldn’t help myself.

In my work I come across people who ignore miracles and deflect miracles. They often struggle mightily with fear, anger, envy and resentment within a belief system that blocks happiness, success and miracles.

Of all of the things that could happen, the existence of life, love, and happiness seem like miracles beyond all imagining to me. That this trio is bestowed on every single one of us as long as we draw breath seems like a miracle beyond the beyond!


I will present a segment on “Accepting Miracles” at the September “Attracting Miracles” Weekend in San Diego.

October brings another opportunity in Palm Springs at the “BREAKOUT Weekend” where we’ll be clearing beliefs that block success, happiness and the acceptance of miracles.

I search for ways to convey these concepts. I woke up today pondering how to talk about accepting miracles in a truly useful way at these upcoming events.

An email from Douglas Wilson, director of the Rowe Conference Center in Massachusetts arrived with the answer.

"Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise." --Lewis Thomas, The Lives Of A Cell.

The amazing thing is that even in a state of contented dazzlement of surprise we still want to create new adventures! We still want to attract greater prosperity, be more successful, share more love.

What would you attract or create in a state of contented surprise?

A Personal Declaration of Independence

Freedom from limiting, self-defeating, or
life-extinguishing beliefs is the greatest
independence we can gain.

We follow faulty conclusions, misconceptions
and misperceptions every day of our lives ...
until we become aware of them.

Once we discover what they are we can challenge
them and eliminate them.

It is so very hard to create peace, love and prosperity
through the bars of a belief system that says:
NO!
You Cannot!
You Better Not!
It will only make things worse if you try!
You'll get hurt again!
It will be really bad this time!
Be angry!
Feel guilty!
Hold on to that fear!
Don't you dare reach for that!

I know. I've heard all of them and believed most of them.

I am fortunate to have spent most of my life helping people
to break out from beliefs that hold them back. My work
helps me to recognise and eliminate a lot of my own.

I still find them all the time on an infinite journey
to truth and clarity. The trip is so exciting though,
I wouldn't want it to end.

It is a blessing to travel a way with each of you.

In the USA we will celebrate our Independence as a country
this week. It's a fine time to reflect on your personal state of
independence in whatever part of the world your are.

There's an independence story about a bonfire, an angel
(a real one!) and a night that changed my life forever.

It's been reprinted, added to; it grew and grew until it
got too long to send out like this.
You can read it at http://mandyevans.com/declaration42.html

To your freedom, happiness and success!

Love,

Mandy
