Where there is life, there is change. Any attempt to keep things static leads to death which is just stuck energy being redistributed according to the law of love. The universe is a sea of energy with infinite currents and waves and flows. By opening and developing our abilities to receive and act upon inspirations and intuitions, we can continue to grow and develop as individuals and as a group. The only thing that creates stuck energy is fear, and fears are only energetic patterns that disconnect us from Love. Love is life. Love leads to change because love is the Power of Life. Our challenge is to constantly increase our connection to Love so that we do not allow fear to hold us back from fulfilling our destinies as cells of love in the body cosmic.

How often have we said, “What a nice person!”? How much have we wanted that affirmation for ourselves? There have been times in my life that I wanted other people to think I was “nice,” regardless of whether I actually was nice or not.

I don’t feel this way anymore. Honestly, I would love to see the word “nice” disappear from use by all people for all time. It’s time for us to let this word go forever.

Nice is not who we are called be. We are called to be who we really are, and I guarantee that nice is not one of those things.

Here’s how I see nice people. If you either see yourself as a nice person or want others to see you as a nice person, you may not like what follows. So in case you are wondering, I’m definitely not going to be nice to nice people and those who like nice people here!

1. Nice people are pushovers.
2. Nice people are doormats.
3. Nice people do not ask for what they want.
4. Nice people do not negotiate for what they want.
5. Nice people do not tell the truth out of a fear.
6. Nice people care way too much about what others think of them.
7. Nice people have way too much patience with the status quo.
8. Nice people sacrifice themselves and their own truth upon the altar of social conformity with the creed of “I’m not good enough” playing like a looped recording in their brains.
9. Nice people don’t rock the boat.
10. Nice people don’t do interventions.
11. Nice people let bullies knock people down grind them into the dust.
12. Nice people would rather allow themselves to be ground into the dust than stand up for what is good, right, and true.
13. Nice people are afraid of their own power.
14. Nice people avoid the necessary conflict that occurs between compassion and injustice.

You may think I’m not being nice in being so tough on niceness and nice people. That’s very perceptive of you. Having suffered from an addiction to niceness for way too long, I’m a little passionate about setting people free from this particular prison.

So if you are a parent, stop telling your kids to be nice! Encourage them to be who they really are and do what they really want to do! Give them the freedom to say “No!” even as you continue to be the boss. Teach your kids to negotiate by negotiating for what you want!  

Stop playing the tape in your brain that says certain things are not nice. The world doesn’t need nice right now. The world needs the truth expressed with as much love and compassion as possible. And the truth cannot be expressed from a place of niceness. It can only be expressed from a solid foundation of spiritual empowerment.

We have the problems we are currently having as a species for two fundamental reasons:

1. Most people are afraid to tell the truth.

2. Most people are afraid to hear the truth.

This is why it is so critical that we banish niceness from the face of the earth as soon as possible. We need to be bold in speaking the truth from our perspective. We need to be desirous of listening to the truth from all of the sources of truth in our lives. When we have released these fears around speaking and listening to the truth, we will have the world that the prophets and sages have spoken of for millennia.

Go forth and release your fear! Speak your truth with bold compassion, and listen for the truth in everyone and everything you encounter!

Most people, most of the time, have all kinds of doubts about all kinds of things they want, wish, or would like to happen. The universe is a magnificent machine designed perfectly to give human beings exactly what they focus on. So what do feelings and thoughts of doubt create? They pretty much keep things the same as they are. Doubts take thoughts, feelings, and intentions that could shape a different future and negate or nullify them.

The universe responds to certainty. When a person or a group of people commit all of their time, energy, emotions, focus, attention, and faith to generating an outcome for long enough, it will come to pass. Of course all kinds of other variables related to the impassioned efforts of others will play a part in the creation of the desired outcome to the extent that the second groups’ efforts interact with the first person or group’s vision.

If you want something to occur, happen, be created, be transformed, or be done; focus upon that desired outcome with consistent and persistent certainty along with a red-hot, burning emotions of faith and passion. If at the same time you take daily inspired actions consistent with the creation of that desired outcome, it will occur. It must occur. The universe must bend itself to the power of your unstoppable desire.

So why don’t more people experience the fulfillment of their deepest desires? Because they doubt and lack certainty. And why is this the case? If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know what the answer is: fear. Fears that we are not-worthy enough, good enough, smart enough, strong enough, experienced enough, whatever enough-will cause the universe to give us whatever will keep us in the realm of what we think we already know.

To transform our lives and the world, all we need to do is release all of our fears. I think that is great deal to bring heaven to earth!

Since I am in the process of finalizing a workshop on the power of words, I figured now is as good a time as any to touch very briefly on this subject.

Everything is energy. All energy is power. All words are patterns of energy with the power to shape and literally create reality.

In the book of Genesis in the Bible, when God is creating everything, we can read how God did it according to this story, “And God said…” I found nine places where these words are used just in the first chapter of Genesis.

In this same book of the Bible, it says that God created human beings in God’s own image . The first thing God has Adam do, is name the animals, thus signifying humanity’s stewardship of God’s creation. The first thing God has Adam do is speak! Perhaps the names and words we use are important? Perhaps, like the God described in Genesis, we have the power to speak and make it so.

I contend that human beings have the very same power to re-create the world moment by moment with the words that occupy our minds and pass our lips.

So here are my questions for today: What words are residing in your mind and on your lips? Are they words chosen specifically to bring what you desire to you, or words that focus on what you do not want?

Whenever you find that you are using words that do not create your desires, please, please, please, let them go and replace them with words that do serve you and help to create a world that is truly a masterpiece!
