Meeting the challenge

from Shakespeare: "Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt."

Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed by circumstances appearing in our life. The temptation is to judge the circumstance and lay blame on an outside source. Maybe label it negatively and then feed that emotion with more negativity. These judgements of the circumstances can prevent us from moving forward with an action due to the emotional fear generated. Reacting to fear is our biggest inhibitor to reaching our potential.

I have been dealing with very interesting challenges in my life lately due to decisions I've made several months ago. I had a well paying job as an engineer that I gave up to "pursue my passion" and explore/discover my true nature. I was led to this action from a series of circumstances/events that occured over the previous few years (looking back on it). If you are familiar with the movie "The Secret" and its coverage of the Law Of Attraction, then you'll understand when I say it was a major catalyst for my decision. Being trained as an engineer, I felt the need to analyze and study the concepts till I fully understood what was being taught. I found this an all-consuming task (and a never-ending one). The main thing I've learned is that there is more to the Universal Laws than just the Law Of Attraction. So much more as covered in previous posts. The lessons and teachers I have come across during this study have been invaluable to me. While my understanding is at best grade-school level, the changes in my life and attitudes towards it have been amazing. These changes in me have allowed me to deal with my challenges in a completely different manner than I would have previously.

Using tools like the Ho'oponopono method described in Joe Vitale's book Zero Limits and the Manifesting Miracles course from Nick Arandes have enabled me to handle the 'waves' of challenge that have come my way since I took "the leap". The lessons (circumstances) I have manifested in the past few months are the stepping stones on my path to discovering who I really am. I know that the illusions of these circumstances will be revealed as I continue to travel on my chosen path. I recommend you meet your challenges head-on and use whatever tools resonate with you to help you along on your journey. Namaste

Just a Guy on a Journey

Hello, my name is Robert. I am creating this blog to support my intention to help others on their path of discovery of Who They Really Are. I am on this path myself and have come across various teachers and resources that have helped me on my way. I intend to share these resources with you and provide examples of my experiences in the hope that this information will help You on your journey.

Since this is my first post, I'll provide a little background. I live in San Diego, CA. USA. Where the weather is beautiful nearly year round and the surroundings just as beautiful. I feel blessed to live in such a wonderful place.

I used to work as an Systems Engineer for a large corporation until 5 months ago, when I quit the job to follow my spiritual path. It is said that if you leap, the net will appear. That is what I have done and so far I haven't been allowed to smash into the ground. If you're not familiar with that saying, stick with me and I will cover that topic in a follow-on post.

So anyways, I was inspired to quit this job after months of study and contemplation upon this existence we call life on earth. Have you ever wondered why we do what we do? Do you think about your future and whether your job provides meaning to your existence? Well those questions, and more, were on my mind and were preventing me from focusing on my 'work'. One day after spending 8 hours in front of my terminal and not accomplishing anything, I made the decision to make a change. My goal was to focus on my spiritual development, photographic talents, and to be of service to others.

So here I am 5 months later. Most of those 5 months spent in intense study, contemplation, and discovery of topics covering aspects of spirituality and manifestation. Of course, these 5 months only represent a fraction of the actual time I've spent studying these concepts; I just felt the need/urge to make this study a full-time effort in order to proceed with my purpose in life. Yes, that is what ultimately drove me to this path. Once I discovered my purpose, there was no turning back. Now, I am in the process of practicing digital photography and syncing the photographic results with a spiritual perspective.

Which gets me back to my intention for this blog.... to support you on your path of discovery. My hope is that the information I provide in this space will provide some insight or pointer that'll resonate with you. I intend to entertain, inform, and hopefuly provide some beauty into your space through my photographs and verse.

To keep this short, I will close this post by referencing you to one of the teachers who I have found very a valuable and inspiring resource on this path. His name is Nick Arandes and he is also known as the Radical Kid. Nick's Manifesting Miracles course was a truly enlightening and helpful exprience. I highly recommend it for its simple and easy to understand presentation of one way to achieve your goals and desires. You can find out more about Nick here: http://www.theradicalkid.com/.

I'll leave you with one of my favorite sunset pics, shot in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Till next time....
