Here are the keys to achieving holistic success. And by holistic success, I mean that you have what you want and want what you have (and are really excited about all of the awesome things that are coming your way as well). It also involves living from your passions and being willing to die for them if that becomes necessary. It’s about having a huge WHY for your life and seeing how everything in your life connects to that GREAT BIG WHY.

Every single person on the planet who is living a life of holistic success has followed the same formula whether they know it or not.

1. Know! Get as clear on what you love to do, who you love being, and what you love having in your life as possible.
2. Go!! Take physical actions that can help you move a little bit closer to realizing your GREAT BIG WHY.
3. Let Go!!! Fears, negative emotions, and limiting thoughts will arise. Let them go, knowing that they are not real, just interpretations that seem real to you.
4. Ditto!!!! Seek and allow for the formation of habits, relationships, and support systems that will help you repeat this process consciously and rapidly to gain momentum and ever-more-fully realize your soul’s deepest desires.

When it comes to letting go of your baggage and attracting your support systems developing your empowering habits, these can be done on the four levels of personal power:

1. Physical          The bio-body
2. Mental             The brain, mind, thoughts, neuralpathways, reticular activating system, brainwaves, etc.
3. Emotional      The energetic heart center or chakra, feelings, and emotions
4. Spiritual          The soul made in the invisible image of the Divine Soul of God

Go easy on yourself. Enjoy the journey. Trust that you are experiencing exactly what you need to life the life of your destiny. Whatever you are attracted to, continue to seek it even if you don’t see the point. Eventually you will, and when you get it, you’ll be able to look back over every moment of your life and know that it was all perfectly designed to shape you into the person that the world needs. WE NEED YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!! I look forward to the incredible riches that you will be sharing for the benefit of us all!!!

I have been thinking a lot about holistic success lately (okay, I already I think about it all of the time). In relation to this topic I have been thinking about the relationship between passion (love) and fear (every reaction we create—consciously or unconsciously—that is intended to prevent annihilation).

There is a good reason why more people are not more successful. There is basically an inverse relationship between the manifestations of passion and fear in our lives. To the extent that we allow our lives are ruled by fear, passion is less accessible to us. To the extent that we allow ourselves to be ruled by passion, our fears have less influence.

The reason this matters when it comes to holistic success is that passion moves us into a desired future quickly and effortlessly. Fear keeps us tied to the past and anxious abou the future because the future is unknown and uncertain. People ruled by fear interpret this to mean that without sufficient protections in place, the future could mean destruction. Truly successful people live according to their passions and act boldly to create the future. They trust that it they can make the future better through their efforts. They live more by faith than fear.

Let’s imagine that every single person’s spiritual center is like an indestructible light bulb that gives off a tremendous amount of light. It’s would actually blind us if we stared at it. This light bulb has perceived many threats to its existence over the years. Some have included moths being drawn to its light and smashing into it, people throwing covers over it or trying to unscrew it from its power supply (unsuccessfully!) because it was too bright, inclement weather, stones being thrown at it, etc.

To protect itself, the light created defenses to help it survive. It forgot that it was indestructible. It forgot from whence it came. It forgot the power that it was connected to. And so it believed the lie that it could die.

Its brightness did not decrease. It could not. That was its nature. Yet its surface accumulated layer upon layer of stuff intended to create kind of shell or wall of protection around it.

This layered barrier was heavy and dark. It was like mud or layers of paint were allowed to accumulate over the surface of the bright light, causing lessen its radiance.

To the extent that the light was covered, passion was buried and fear ruled that life.

I see my purpose in life as helping people to recognize this fundamental challenge. Part of my purpose is to help people learn how to remove the layers of fear so that their passions can be revealed and better expressed. This will lead to more and more people being ruled by love instead of fear. And when that happens, people’s lives and life on earth will be changed in ways that we cannot even imagine right now.

Receiving money for doing what you love is absolutely the best way to go for the following reasons:

1. It communicates to you and others the value that you have to give. It says, “I am worthy of doing what I love and being who I really am!”
2. Receiving money for what you love to do forces you to find out where people are really hurting and what they really want. Once you know these things, you can help them get what they want and/or stop getting what they don’t want in the ways that only you can.
3. When you are making money through following your passions and appyling your own unique combination of skills, talents, and gifts, you experience NO COMPETITION. Competition is only experienced by those who are not being themselves totally and completely. Competition is a reality for those who choose to play the same game as other people. Who or what can compete with the real you? If you are buying into the paradigm that you cannot make gobs of money by being yourself, then you will experience gobs of competition and not much money. The people making the most money and having the most fun experience absoutely no competition.
4. Making money in this way allows you to give and receive more. People who go all the way in acting on their passions become very, very wealthy in all areas of their lives. They experience what I like to call Holistic Success. Those who do not may get some money, but it is never as much as the passionate people, and it is a lot less fun to receive money for doing things that you aren’t absolutely crazy about.

You can choose to believe me or not. The only way to find out if I am right is to connect to your passions throughout the course of every single day, take actions that move you in the direction of living those passions more fully, clear the fears and not-so-good feelings that come up as you take these actions, and repeat.
Journey well, my friend! Journey spectaculary!!!

For a very long time, I thought I had to achieve success on my own. I wanted to do it by myself. I didn’t want to share the credit. I didn’t want to have to figure out how to compensate those who helped me along the way. Actually, to be honest, I wanted to keep all of the benefits (particularly the money) for myself. I didn’t want to deal with all of the hassles associated with people.

If you have any thoughts and feelings similar to what I have written above, please, please, please clear that stuff out! That kind of thinking will keep your life small. It will frustrate you and lead to burnout. Without a team of quality people around you, you cannot achieve holistic success. Without friends and colleagues and partners, you will not be able to give what you were created to give to the world.

When I started to attract people who were interested in helping and supporting me in achieving my goals, they started to show me what is really possible. I started to get it. I started to see how their lives were enriched by all of their relationships. I started to see how they were all able to create value for each other. I saw how they actually liked and supported each other. I saw how one person’s success was celebrated by everyone.

Don’t try to go it alone. Let other people be a part of your story. Focus on what you have to offer before focusing on what you can get from others. There’s a lot more to say about this, but I gotta run…to hang with a couple of my teammates!
