Achieving Your Dreams & Goals

We have to make it through the hard times of our pasts to achieve our dreams and goals. As much as we may not believe it, life only serves us what we can handle. You may think that it is more than you handle at the time, but we always make it through, don't we?!? The hand you are dealt, the plate you are served, really is nothing more than you can handle. It is always an obstacle to achieving your dreams and goals, but something you must do in order to get to the end goal.

I know for a fact how hard life can be. I've been dealt some pretty yucky hands in my time and I haven't been here all that long. But I also know that each one of those hands had a lesson that I needed to learn. Some of those hands I've been dealt more than once because I didn't learn the lesson properly the first time around. But once I realized the lesson to be learned, you can bet I learned it, applied it to the situation and did my best to move on. And the more lessons you learn, the better the future you are providing for yourself, your family and those around you is that much better.

Sometimes the lessons are cut and dry, others you have to continue to struggle before you find out what the lesson really is. I know for me, there are some lessons that it took me a while to learn, like learning how to trust the right person. I'm a very caring person and have a hard not helping someone out. But in my efforts to help others, I've been taught lessons in the process, mainly that these people are only using me. And for me, this has always been a hard lesson to learn. Some people I have a very hard time trusting because I know right from the beginning I'm being used. Other people I can't tell, until the person is basically done with me and just disappears from my life when I was counting on that person to be there. But these lessons are all a part of the learning process to help us become who we need to be to really achieve our dreams and goals.

This song I heard while questioning my path one day. It just confirmed that I'm in the right place at the right time. We all always are in the right place at the right time. Have you ever questioned why you got all the green lights one day while going to work, then the next day you got all the red lights?!? Yes it could be an issue of your timing, but it is also divine timing saving you from something, possibly an accident or trying to teach you patience. Patience is the biggest lesson we all struggle with. We live in a world of instant gratification and not having something we want right now just makes us even more impatient. So the universe works harder day in and day out to teach us the lesson of patience. Then when we finally learn that lesson, we open up our flow to open more and more doors for us. And in order to achieve our dreams and goals, we must learn the valuable lesson of patience. Nothing worth having comes easily. And the same goes for our dreams. We can continue to dream and make the dream bigger and bigger each day. Add more details, and none of that is going to appear overnight. So we need the valuable lesson of patience even more.

Now that you've figured out the hand you've been dealt, learned the lessons that needed to be learned, especially patience, it's time to really go for those dreams and goals! The only thing standing in your way now is YOU. Use your obstacles as stepping stones to get to the next one and pretty soon, you'll be achieving your dreams and goals even faster than you believe is possible!! This is the path I am on and it's pretty darn amazing!! There are days that I never thought I'd be here, but I'm here and I'm loving it and I love life!! So get out there and live it! Live the best life possible and achieve your dreams and goals as the best person you can be.

Crystal of the Day

Today I pulled an amethyst crystal and purposely pulled a malachite as well.

I've been feeling a lot of pent up anger coming up lately. I know it is partly because of this group healing that I am in and this week we are working on the throat chakra. I know the throat chakra is blue crystals, but I really felt the need to have the malachite and the amethyst is what came up for today. There is a reason for why I pull the crystal I pull, no coincidences. So today I really need the amethyst as well.

I'm going to do a meditation with the two stones here soon. I have done a meditation with each stone this week. And each meditation has given me messages that I needed for that day.

I'm really looking forward to using these two stones for the remainder of today.

Crystal a Day

Today's crystal of the day is Angelite. I already carry one of these stones with me daily in my medicine bag. Using this crystal today can only bring more good things.

I love Angelite. It brings a special connection to my angels and I get so many great messages and visions with this special crystal. I look forward to spending my day with Angelite and some extra meditations with this crystal.

Crystal a Day

Today's crystal is some form of a yellow crystal. I'm really not sure what it is.

 It has some sparkles in it like goldstone usually does, but it's not a goldstone, at least from the information I can find. It also has some special marks of its own. I love seeing the marks inside a crystal showing it's own personality. While meditating with this crystal, I got a special energy in my solar plexus and heart chakras. I love feeling energy like this in my chakras. It is a great healing feeling. I know I have tons of healing to do and it is something I work on every day.

Start 2014 Off Right

“Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.” ~Brad Paisley

Each of us is given the same 24 hours, 1440 minutes, 86,400 seconds each day. Let's start 2014 off on the right foot and really make this a year to remember. You only get one chance at this thing called life. We all make mistakes, but most of us learn from those mistakes and know how to change for the future.


Tomorrow is the first day of a new year, get a new journal or notebook ready and make this year a year to remember. Everyone is always saying how this year just flew by and every year seems to be going faster than the last. Well, let's really remember this year. Create your miracle jar. Journal about all of the great things that happen each and every day.

Standing in front of you is a blank slate with 365 brand new days. Make 2014 the best year yet! Make it a year you will want to remember many years down the road. It hasn't even started yet and I already know it is going to be my best year yet. I have so many dreams and goals that I am going to achieve this year and this is just the start of the year! Join me daily on this journey and make this the best year to remember!

Venus Self Renewal, Day 6

Day 6 of 40 Days of Venus Self Renewal: Acknowledge the goings-on in your inner world today. Take a few deep breaths in and out. Bring your awareness to the emotion(s) wanting your attention, the thoughts in your focus, the beliefs you are holding and how you feel in your skin in this now moment. Allow yourself to observe these goings-on, sans judgement. Then visually express this out (or express out what needs to come to the surface) using whatever medium calls you, such as pastels, pencils, watercolours, collage, etc. When you are done ask your piece ‘What is your name?’, and write that down.

I am taking these posts from a Facebook page I follow: www.facebook.com/jelenamrkich but I would really love for you to follow along with me on this journey and share your journey here. This journey is absolutely perfect for each of us for this new year and being a new YOU.  

Here is a list of all of the other posts in this journey:
Introduction

Day 1  

Day 2 

Day 3 

Day 4

Day 5 

Daily Affirmation Challenge, Day 4

Continue using the same affirmation you started with on day 1.  Remember, it can be your own or the one I'm using.

Affirmation: I love myself unconditionally. I love my body and all of its flaws. I am unique and perfect just the way I am. Love comes to me naturally and I know just how to share my love with those who I come into contact with.

Step 1: Stand or sit in front of the mirror. Chant OM 21 times to help clear your mind and raise your personal vibration. Then say the affirmation out loud 21 times to yourself in the mirror.

Step 2: In your notebook or journal, write Day 4 as the heading, then write your affirmation 21 times.

Step 3: Spend a few minutes in quiet meditation. This can be anywhere from 2-30 minutes, just spend some quiet time alone and enjoy the peace and serenity that washes over you at this time.

Go about the rest of your day. If any negative thoughts come up about your affirmation, stop, acknowledge those feelings and then just let them go. If you need to, repeat your affirmation to yourself a few times to help release the negativity you may have.

Here are the other days in the challenge. You can start with Day 1 any day and just follow along with the rest of the days in order.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you enjoy your day and find some way to celebrate the LOVE of the season today and everyday of your lives. Love is the real reason why we are here today. Spread more love and happiness in the lives of those you come in contact with today. Love really is simple and by sharing it, it creates more happiness and joy in those around you!

The Choice is YOURS

You have a choice each and every morning, so what are you going to do today? I always choose to chase my dreams. If you don't get up and chase them, they can't come true!

By chasing your dreams, you make every single day you spend here on this earth the next greatest day of your life. Keep living your life to the fullest and chasing those dreams. Never let your dreams die or for someone to tell you that you can't achieve something. All it takes is putting your mind to something and you will achieve it. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it. It will be worth all the blood, sweat, tears and time it takes to accomplish those dreams! Just NEVER, EVER give up!

Live your life to the fullest potential and just enjoy everything you have. Material things do not make our lives special. They may help us live a better life, but the material things don't make the world go round. It's the simple, immaterial things, like love, happiness, and joy that make the world go round. Live the life you want to live. Don't live by anyone else's standards, but your own. They aren't living your life, they don't have to deal with the choices you make on a regular basis. Make your choices for you and live the best life you can live. Show the world your happiness, joy and love and just enjoy your life!

Who Do YOU Want Others to See YOU As?

When you wake up each morning, who do you see yourself as? Who do you want others to see YOU as? What do you want to be known as when you are no longer on the Earth plane?

If you create a positive start to each day when you first wake up each morning, that will make your day go that much better. Have you ever noticed, the days you wake up grumpy, achy, "on the wrong side of the bed", nothing ever seems to go right that day? If you haven't, try it and let me know how your day goes. Pick one or the other, a positive wake up or a grumpy wake up.

It's actually really that simple. Create a morning ritual. No matter how you actually feel when you wake up, start your day with thanking God, the universe, whatever your choice is, for giving you another day and that you are grateful that your dreams are coming true. Just doing this each day will help you change the mood you already had. You are now feeling grateful for what you have in your life and what you are receiving. You can then journal your personal affirmations that you want want to affirm for the day. They can be anything from how you feel about yourself to the day is going to perfect to you are grateful for your job. Positive affirmations and being grateful will really set the tone for a great day. You can also listen to some great music that will just make you dance while you start preparing for your day.

The way you go about your day is also how others see you. You may be seeing a stranger on the street, a clerk in the store you are buying your groceries in, or even a coworker. But if you have a negative attitude towards your day, this is how these people will perceive you as a person. Change your negative to a positive and see how that changes how people react to you.

Let me know how this works for you! I love hearing these stories! Follow me on Twitter and Pinterest

Trust.Believe.HaveFaith.

This is my new motto. I'm living by this motto from now on. I trust, believe and have faith. Everything is working the exact way that it should be working out. My dreams and wishes are coming true each and every day. I'm maintaining a high vibration and I love being up here on a high vibration. I am much happier and healthier each and every day of my life.

I'm a very firm believer in the vision board. I have created mine and it is up on my wall so that I can see it on a daily basis. Just looking at my vision board each day helps me to reinforce my belief that everything is happening in my life just as it should. I am right where I need to be.

I am also a very firm believer in daily affirmations. I say them to myself each day, all day long. I write them in my journal. I share some of them here for my wonderful followers. I share them on my Facebook page everyone in a while too. As long as the affirmations are completely positive and you really do believe them, they work. Trust.Believe.HaveFaith. It works! Trust me!

And the other thing I am a very strong believer in, is positivity. The more your thoughts are positive, the better things will be in your life. Let go of any negativity in your life, whether this be people, places, events, etc., whether you just release this, find a new job, move to a new home or whatever it is you need to do, it will come to you what you need to do.

Each of us needs to get to a place where you absolutely love your life every single day. Once you get there, more and more things will happen for you. Then, you are at the point where you have to trust, believe and have faith. The Universe wants the best for you and so do I.

So tell me, do you love your life and where you are right now? If not, what do you need to change? Do you have faith? Do you trust, in both yourself and the Universe? Do you believe, in yourself and the Universe?

Start Daily Affirmations

Daily affirmations are a great way for you to get into the mindset of manifesting and being positive. Sometimes I also use affirmations when I'm in a difficult situation and I need something to calm me. I'll say the affirmation for a few minutes straight to myself.

You can say them throughout the day. But it is good to get into a habit of saying them first thing in the morning with your Thank You!'s and last thing at night to help put you in a good spot for both starting the day and before falling asleep.

Here are some affirmations to get your started. You can use these, add to them, or create your own. They should always be positive.
I am happy and healthy.
Abundance flows to be quickly and easily.
I am unique.
I love myself unconditionally.
I am worthy.
I am good enough to achieve my dreams and goals.
Life is so good.
I have all that I need to make it through today perfectly.


I also like to write out my affirmations first thing in the morning. I've added it to my daily ritual. By writing them, it really helps to keep them easy and simple. Plus you can actually see them in print. If you have a photographic memory like I do, you can also see the page you have written these affirmations down on later in the day to remember them when you hit a rough spot in the day.

Hit me up for more ideas on affirmations if you need them, or just feel free to share yours. I love getting comments and I will respond! Follow me on Twitter and Pinterest.

Creating a Vision Board

One of the first steps of putting the Law of Attraction to work for you is to create a vision board. This board will be EVERYTHING you have for yourself as a dream for the future. Make sure you DREAM BIG!!

You know all of those dreams that you have had since you were a child for yourself - that dream house, dream car, special vacations, wedding, dream job, material items you want but can't afford right now, money in the bank, debt free - put it ALL on your board. Find pictures online, in magazines, in circulars and cut them out. This board be on a cork board, poster board, or even just the wall. I put mine on the wall, because for the time being, I don't have either of the others and taping my pictures to the wall was an easy way to display them in a place where I will see them EVERYDAY! You want to make sure your board is in a place that you will see it every day - home, work, your choice - but make sure you will see it everyday.

There is a reason why kids have always had those "crazy" dreams. They haven't learned how society makes us act like none of that exists anymore and to stop believing, until we start doing research and find that it all still does exist. Our dreams are real and we can have them. We just have to believe again and get rid of all of the negative thinking.

There are so many books out there to help us with this. The first book suggestion I will make is: The Secret. I'm sure you've heard of this book before. It became a very popular book a few years ago. Many of the daytime television shows talked about this book and showed cases where the book had showed success. They also created a movie about this book with success stories as well. I've listened to this movie on Netflix several times, I've even reactivated my Netflix account just to watch this movie three or four times in a month, then cancelled it again.

I've had a vision board on my to do list for about 2 years now and I just never got around to actually doing it. But that is changing TODAY. I've started my pictures and I'm just waiting for my printer ink to get here on Saturday to print out these pictures that I've found. I had a poster board, but never had the pictures to put it together. Well, I'm not waiting any longer to make this vision board and start manifesting my future. As soon as my ink gets here on Saturday, I'm going to start printing pictures and cutting them out. Then, I'm taping them to my wall in the form of a vision board to get this started and in my daily thoughts everyday in printed form and not just in my head. Having the thoughts in your head is still a good thing, but seeing it in print, whether it's written or pictures, really helps you keep the positive and SEE what you really want. It also puts it out to the universe what you really want as well.

Let's create your vision board!

Step One: DREAM! Really dream big! Go back to the days when you were a child and reincarnate those dreams that you wanted then. You know all those vacations you wanted to go on and never could because of other circumstances. That dream house you've always wanted, but never thought you could afford? You want a family someday, put a picture of a happy family on your vision board, with the type of family you want and how many children you want. You know all those dreams that you have for yourself, even if you haven't told them to anyone. Don't focus on making these dream realistic! The Law of Attraction works around realistic!

Step Two: VISUALIZE. It's time to sit down with your dream pictures. With each picture, create a movie in your mind about that dream coming true. Picture yourself 5 years in the future with each dream manifested. Show yourself a personal movie of how it came true! These visions should make you happy! If they don't then there is something in your dreams that you may need to change.

Step Three: CREATE! Just dreaming and visualizing is not enough to manifest your vision board dreams. You must create the actual board. As you put each picture on your vision board, play that movie of your visualization again.

Step Four: BELIEVE! Now you just have to believe. Even everything that is unrealistic will happen. You have put this out for the universe to see and it is very clear what you want since you have put the exact pictures of your dreams up for the universe and YOU to see each day. Take 10-15 minutes each morning (or evening, whatever works best for you) and visualize your life movie happening again. Make sure you keep all thoughts positive about your vision board. If you start to think that I can't have that. I'm not good enough for that. Then sure enough, the universe will put off that dream for you. Never think those thoughts about anything on your vision board. (You actually should stop thinking those thoughts completely if you really want the Law of Attraction to work for you.)

Make sure you DREAM BIG! Your life is exactly that which you make it. It can be really simple and amazing, or you can make it more difficult than it should be.

I want to hear about your vision boards. If you have questions, let me know. I'll help you out! I will respond if you comment. Follow me on Pinterest

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving Day here in America! It is a day to celebrate family and be extra grateful for all that you have! You should be grateful for each day and what it brings you every day. The more gratitude you show each day, the more the Law of Attraction works for you!

I am grateful to be here today and be able to share a new day with my family. I am also grateful to be able to share this journey with you and help you on your journey.

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. ~Chief Tecumseh
