About This
I was inspired to write this tele-seminar after examining my own experiences with love. Love is the key winning element that will help us to successfully transition from a life of want and scarcity to a life of abundance and well-being. Some of the "love" experiences I am mentally and spiritually referencing have been elevating and others have been very painful and some have been painfully elevating. But as my understanding of the true power of love continues to evolve then the benefits I receive become more rich and abundant. As a Business Professional, I realize that love produces wisdom, respect and promotion. As a woman, I realize that love is liberating and empowering. As a daughter, I understand that love is discerning and tough. As a lover, I offer love as motivation, protection, consolation and support to my man. And as an entrepreneur, I know that love is powerful, insightful and incredibly attractive. And as a creative being I experience love as mercy, authenticity and infinite potential. Love is what builds empires and creates giants. But what I know most of all is that without love, none of us would exist.
I'm not here tonight to motivate you, give you a to-do list or to help you with your New Year's resolutions. My goal is that your connection to me tonight will allow you to experience an energy that will help to spark thought, emotions and actions. Thought, emotions and actions that will unite you with the mighty power of love. Thought, emotions and actions that will encourage you to love someone else. Thought, emotions and actions that will give you courage and help you to discover your authenticity. Thought emotions and actions that will liberate you and attract love, success and abundance into your life. That is my goal this evening.
What is Love
Love is what will make a mother lift a 2,000 pound car off of a baby who has fallen underneath it. Love is what will make a father fight to defend the honor of his family. Love is what fueled Harriet Tubman the most famous conductor of the Underground Railroad. She forced slaves into freedom, often times against their will, at gunpoint and navigated dangerous trails some 19 times. Love is why Martin Luther King, Jr. marched on Washington and why he endured jail, hate and the disruption of his family and sacrificed his own young, precious, promising life. Love is why countless fathers around the world work demeaning jobs and sacrifice their manhood in order to feed their families. Love is sometimes why people make mistakes. It is also why people defy odds. Love is what soldiers are made of.
After much thought I realized that many of us are struggling and scratching through life because we are confused about love. And we are failing to access the power of love because we don't fully understand love. We only understand love to the extent that it is expressed in a pop song or in a tabloid. We mistake love for control and lust. We are stuck trying to fit this revolutionary concept into a narrow ego based definition bound by expectations that have nothing to do with true love. Once we understand the infinite nature of love we will understand that love is the root of our success. Love has no bounds. It cannot be measured by space and time. It sparks revolutions and ends wars. Love will help us to transform the energy of things like money, opportunity and relationships. Love can renew our mind, body and souls. Love will help us to be a conduit for wealth, abundance and well being. It transforms victims into victorious individuals who rise above emotions and mirror the thinking of the Creator. Love is our connection to The Universal Mind.
Our discussion this evening is for informational and entertainment purposes only. Tonight's tele-seminar is entitled, "How To Win in 2010". What we will be discussing this evening will help us to become winners in 2010 and beyond. It's not about systems, affirmations, New Year's resolutions and to-do lists. This is about a lifestyle focus that will keep you in the bosom of the energy of the most vibratory force in the universe. That mindset simply involves raising your love consciousness. It involves understanding that love, in fact, is life. And being aware of this fact allows your soul to breath, expand and take charge of your life.
The Universe Is Shaking Us Up
Many of you may have realized that times are changing and I'm sure you get the sense that the universe is shaking things up. Some people call it the renewing of the mind, a new world order, a day of judgment, new school or simply the changing of the guard. Whatever you call it, we all realize that in order to get different results we must begin to do things differently. We must change our mindset or our way of thinking and living so that we are consistent conduits of the Creator. Our mindsets must be fueled by intuition, inspiration and an energy that is so new and fresh that it can't help but to produce anything other than cutting edge ideas, thought leadership and fresh solutions. We must become conscious of the true power of love and understand that we are simply a channel whereby the life changing energy of love is being manifested. We have to come out of the mindset of yesterday or the mindset designed for us by someone else. To stay in that mindset means that we remain in the past. And when we remain in the past we ignore "now" and lose the potential impact of our future.
Adopting mindsets that we don't understand is very dangerous. Many of us have the mindset of destruction, scarcity and hate yet we have the desires of love, abundance and well-being. When we adopt the mindset of others we must be certain that we desire the results that this mindset will produce. We must become conscious, respectful and aware of the law of cause and effect. It is equally dangerous to allow others to be the architect of our mindset. This is why many of us pray and hope for a new day but we think like yesterday. As a result, our prayers don't produce much of anything except when we are severely threatened with death, destruction of some major life changing event. Then we call the results "miracles" and act as if our connection to The Creator is a random, surprise act.
The Transition
We are transitioning from a world built on differences, competition and cookie cutter lifestyles. In the world of yesterday there was a mindset that was the model of success. That model was built based on the existing laws and standards of society. Today, winners don't rely solely on old business and lifestyle models; they use intuition and an understanding of life in order to help guide them in the right direction. We are failing and falling short of our tremendous potential because we are missing the big picture. It's time to stop faking success. We must begin to live successfully. The most authentic, creative and unique people are successful today. They will be tomorrow's leaders. These individuals have an understanding of life that is supported by an inner force that has been dormant for generations. In order to know what life is we must first know what love is. Love is our life and those who understand its true meaning will win beyond 2010.
Why Love?
Let's discuss a few general concepts about love and how it ties to the Creator, Our Success and Human Development. For most people, the existence of love is a given, but the nature of love is a mystery. Even though the word "love" is so commonly on our tongues, hardly anyone knows what love is. In fact, love is so powerful, I'm not sure that our finite thinking can truly define such an infinite concept. And because we can't quite wrap our minds around the concept of love, we tend to slice it and dice it and chop it up so that what we identify with are pieces or slices of love. We tell people you can have a piece of my love. Remember that song, "You can have a piece of my love"..... We say that, because that's all we can truly comprehend. So we give people a piece of the slice that we have. See that's our first mistake.
Instead of trying to control and define love, we must learn to be a conduit for the love that emanates from our Creator. We have to accept the wholeness of love and stop trying to divide and conquer something that is not ours to own, divide or conquer. It is not our job to own or control love. Our job is to be a conduit for love which is the life force from which we all originated. We cannot even fully know what our life is unless we know what love is. If we don't understand the connection between love and life then we may believe that life is nothing but sensation and action.
Love is reality and wisdom is its manifestation. Love occurs only in wisdom and wisdom only from love. So love becomes manifest when it is in wisdom. The essence of love is that... what is ours should belong to someone else. Feeling the joy of someone else as joy within ourselves-that is loving. Everything in the created universe is a vessel for the divine love and wisdom of the Creator.
We are here on this earth to love. Not to only just love our Creator or to love ourselves but to show our love for His Creation. The word love scares most of us because we see love as weakness. We associate pain, disrespect and disappointment with love. Just because we are loving doesn't mean we can't defend and protect ourselves. We think that in order to be loving we have to be eternally soft, a push over or a sissy. We mistake love for lust. We expect love but are afraid to give it. We approach love with a scarcity mindset. That's because all we have is a "piece of love" and we think there is not enough to go around.
Our Misconceptions About Love
Love is not a weak word. Love is power. We associate love with being used. And for some reason we are so afraid of being used. But doesn't everyone get used in one way or another. Haven't you used someone before and left them feeling empty and unfulfilled? Maybe you did it purposely. Maybe you did it because you just didn't have anything to give. Maybe you desperately needed to be refueled. No matter what, you've been used and you have used. So, stop being so afraid and self-righteous. Now, I'm not saying that we have to be a door mat or that we have to allow someone to dog us in order to practice love. There is also love in self-preservation. Some people would say that if we want love then we must give love. And to a certain extent that is true. But we experience love even when we don't know what love is. The universe is always serving us. But when we truly understand love, we experience freedom, justice, equality and we vibrate with the universal space that produced us.
We are so afraid and disenchanted by the limited societal definition of love that we don't even know how to love. Many of us don't even want to love. We've given up on love. Well, if you've given up on the narrow, societal definition of love, then you are probably correct in doing so. But if you fail to embrace the fullness of Universal love that is bestowed on us every second of the day, then you are disappointing your own soul. We don't love ourselves and most of us don't even love our families and mates. We're just with them out of convenience, to get what we can get or because our ego needs to feel special. We are cut off from the very energy that gives us life. What if the Creator was so weak that every time we didn't live up to our full potential, He stopped loving us? What if He got scared every time we disappointed Him and decided to stop showering us with blessings, mercy and infinate potential? What if He decided that since we are so off course that there would be no more air, no more sun no more mercy or forgiveness?
The Haters
See it's easy for us to be so focused on destroying our enemy or the hate we experience that we forget the love we are graced with everyday. All you hear us talk about are haters. We make gods out of our haters. We talk and sing about haters. We write on Facebook and My Space about haters. Whatever the haters say we can't do we are motivated to do. In essence, the haters run our lives. Are we really hate-mongers disguised as spiritual people? We pray in response to haters. You worship and perpetuate hate and disrespect? The more hate and disrespect that is spewed from our television, music, news and our movie screens the better we think the show or song is. Yes, we worship hate and ignore love.
When is the last time you gave that much attention to love, honor and respect? Why don't we flock to movies that showcase love? We spend more time focused on what is not working and very little time on what "is" working. Yet, it is love that allows us to move on despite our enemies, despite our environment, despite our circumstances and despite odds that are often stacked against us. It is the power of love that ignites our successes and forces us to get up when we've been knocked out or when we make a mistake. Love is so powerful that sometimes we even forget that it exists.
Love has the highest energetic frequency of all emotions. It is the most creative force in the universe. It is the most attractive and magnetive force we will ever experience. It is tough, powerful, fulfilling, sensational, resourceful, strong, liberating, discerning, respectful, understanding, forgiving and triumphant.
Being a Conduit of Love
Now, I know that many of us are afraid to talk about God or the Creator. Many don't understand how I can teach leadership and development for entrepreneurs and talk about spirituality in the same breath. It makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Well, I tried, but I just don't know any other way to do it. I remember sitting on the floor of my apartment in 2001. I put a question out into the universe. I said, "What is missing from business?" And the word that popped into my head was "spirituality". I spent the next 6 or 7 years ignoring that question and the word that popped into my head. I even went into business and tried to ignore it. I missed the mark many times because I was afraid to combine business and spirituality since it had been so taboo in my educational and professional circles. Like many of you, I was pecking around when I should have been soaring. I missed the Big Picture.
See, entrepreneurialism is a spiritual journey. It always has been and it always will be. But what I now know is that one of my callings is to help you to understand how you can use your spirituality in a practical way that will fuel your entrepreneurial endeavors and help you to fulfill your soul's assignment. I'm not talking about religion; I'm talking about your individual connection with the Creator. I'm talking about you learning to occupy that space that only you and the Creator occupy. This is what I believe is the best way. And if you are not comfortable with it then try it your way. I support and honor whatever works for you.
The Creator alone is love Itself because He is life itself. And we are life receivers. Our receptivity develops in proportion to our love for the Creator which is demonstrated through our love for one another. Yep, sorry to tell you, but the Universe will give you what you put into it. If you are giving out "pieces" of love then you'll get "pieces" back. Do you think the Creator cares more about your service to others or how much you say you love Him? What has the greatest return on investment?
Since we are life-receivers, not life (remember The Creator is life we're just mere conduits or receivers), it follows that our conception from our parents is not the conception of life but simply the conception of the first and purest forms that can accept life. I don't want to go off on a tangent here, but what I want to point out is that we have the potential to be the purest conduits for love and life itself. We have the ability to access that energy that represents any of the attributes of our Creator. Abundance, well-being, wealth, understanding, etc. Love and life, in my opinion are synonymous.
The Law of Attraction
I want you to think about this in the law of attraction sense. Some people call the Law of Attraction the Law of Love. What the law of attraction says is that thoughts (both conscious and unconscious) can affect our environment. Quantum physics says that thoughts have an energy which attracts whatever it is the person is thinking of. So, if you begin to study love, search for love, experience love, expect love, practice love and think of love then the energy of the highest vibratory force or the earth will emanate from you. And, in turn, you will receive or attract love in its many forms. Your life and environment will reflect what you practice.
How to Win in 2010 and Beyond
This is how we are going to win and manifest in 2010 and beyond. Love will make us strong and powerful. We must give up the limited definition we have of love. In fact, we must stop trying to define it and BE it. I talk to many, many entrepreneurs and many of us are faking success. It's ok to fake it till you make it. But it's time to focus your lifestyle on a mindset that will help you to live successfully. You don't have to fake it when you live it. Real love will give us strength to carry on. It will give us the capacity to love despite our differences. It will broaden our intellectual capacity. It will help us to create conscious, authentic businesses. It will foster deep respect and honor. It will force us to atone, to understand, to give and offer our family, friends, strangers, clients and employers the best that we have to offer. It will make us go that extra mile, be better parents and successful business owners. It sharpens and clears your mind. It will produce a winning attitude. We will manifest and live abundantly. What we are doing today is either not working or it is not allowing us to live up to our potential. Stop being ashamed of love. Stop being embarrassed. Be bold and loving with a new understanding and approach to the most vibratory force in the universe. I encourage you to try love. It will transform the energy of your life.
