Welcome to everyone, and especially to new subscribers!
Another serving of mental, spiritual and metaphysical
nourishment for your pleasure. If you have any suggestions

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into
the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will
be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself.
First of all, let me wish you a wonderful Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
Second, I wish to announce an important change to the ezine. For
the first time in over two years since this ezine began, I will
be using guest writers. For those of you who enjoy my work (there
ARE at least a few (!), because you have written to tell
me so), this may cause some alarm. However, please rest assured
that I am not going away forever. In fact, I am personally
choosing the articles that make it into this ezine. I definitely
have no intention of letting the quality slide. Also, I do intend
to contribute articles as I feel moved. It just won't be all the
time as before.
But if you really do miss my thoughts, there is a special 6-month
coaching ezine delivered each week called "The Golden Secrets",
especially for buyers of my e-book "The 7 Golden Secrets To
Knowing Your Higher Self". At the moment, it is thrown in free.
Eventually though, there will be a price tag. So, if you have
been thinking about the book, but have been undecided for some
reason, I would jump in and get it right away, if I were you.
As I said, you will definitely get "The Golden Secrets" weekly
coaching ezine thrown in for free at the present time.
Coming back to this ezine's issue, you will find two excellent
articles. Kathy Gates' "Are Still You Waiting For Your Ship To
Come in?" reminds us to break out of the incrustation of the
status quo and seek something new and challenging in life.
Jennifer Ottolino's "Are Complications Keeping You Stuck?" gives
us specific steps to break out of such stuck states. You could
say thst these are two excellent articles which help us get into
the right mindset to look forward to the new year.
Thank you all for the wonderful compliments about this ezine,
about my book, and about the difference I have been honored
to make for many of you. Enjoy the Christmas season.
Best Wishes,
Asoka Selvarajah

Could you accept an opportunity into your life if it fell in your
lap right now? Or are you actually rejecting things every day
because you don’t have a foundation on which to support it?
In order to live a full and happy life, you have to first spend
some time building the dock, or the FOUNDATION, for that life.
The Foundation IS what holds up your life. Without it, or with a
weak foundation, things will always be rocky and susceptible to
disease and pestilence.
People who build successful lives know that a strong foundation
is vital to letting them pursue their dreams. It’s vital to being
rewarded, instead of disappointed, when opportunities present
themselves.
You may be rejecting a good relationship, or financial security,
or time with your family, or even just “being happy” because you
are too busy bailing out a sinking ship (sick of the analogies
yet?!)
Without a strong Foundation, you’ll always be digging out of the
hole, always looking at your feet, instead of reaching for the
stars.
Instead, how would you like to be able to say, “No matter what
happens, I still call the shots”? That means you are not a victim
of circumstance. That means that you are able to withstand
external pressures and live in a way you want to live.
That means that your time doesn’t dictate what you can or can’t
do; that means your friends don’t determine what emotional
support you receive; that means you have resources that don’t
require that you take any old job just to pay the mortgage.
That’s having a solid foundation.
So how do you shore up a shaky foundation? There are many
different parts to a strong foundation, like boundaries,
standards, needs, integrity, values, reserves, family, etc.
But here’s the best way to start.
1. Eliminate things you are putting up with by writing them down
then taking specific actions to remove them, delegate them to
someone else, or find another way to handle them.
2. Get out of the past and into the present by completing what
you started – from a diet to a conversation, from a project to a
commitment that no longer works for you, finish it!
3. Become conscious of how you spend your time, money, energy and
make sure it’s how you really want to spend it, instead of just
the next thing that gets your attention.
I can hear you all saying, “But I want to ADD a relationship, or
ADD a career, or ADD some focus to my life to make it better”.
So why do I suggest you start by deleting things?
Because the items I listed may seem insignificant, yet when taken
all together they’re an ENORMOUS energy drain, an enormous FOCUS
drain. Assuming you even had enough left-over energy and focus to
add something to your life in the first place, no matter what
wonderful things you put into your life – relationships, money,
career -- as long as these leaks are there, all the good things
will leak right back out.
Ever wonder why you can’t seem to hold on to the good things in
your life when they do come your way? This is why. Because
there’s no dock for that ship, and it just can’t stay around
without a safe harbor.
In life, people who have a firm base to stand on are not only
well adjusted and in control of their lives; they also have a
better chance at succeeding with any goal they choose than those
who are constantly fighting with life. Live your life from a
position of power, instead of fear.
If you’ve built the dock, you can successfully accept your ‘ship’
when it arrives.
A firm foundation is more than just a “nice thing to have” --
it’s essential to a happier, healthy, easier, better life. There
are no shortcuts. If you try to shortcut life, you’ll always end
up with the short end of the stick.
