Polly Campbell ~ Stop Trying To Hide, Deny, Fix, Or Bury Your Flaws And Imperfections

pollycampbell

You are good enough – right now.

You are good enough to make a profound and positive difference in the world.

You are good enough to love and be loved, to pursue your dreams, to achieve success, and live in peace and abundance and joy – right now.

You don’t have to be anything different. You don’t have to go back to school, or meditate in Tibet, or lose 35 pounds. Nothing has to be perfect, or just right, or different then it is for you to know that right now, right in this moment, you are good enough to do be the authentic person you so want to be; to live the life you so want to live.

You simply need to reconnect with your core energy, your spirit, that spot where your compassion and love and passions and purpose and creativity flows. Then work from that place.

Stop denying, hiding, blaming, criticizing all your flaws and imperfections. Instead, shift your focus to all that is good. Put your energy into living your best life. Commit to nurturing your talents, skills, and abilities; to living a whole life.

We are flawed, for sure, all of us. We are going to screw it up, this life thing. One way or another we are going to make mistakes. And there will be days when our lives feel maddening and painful and scary and uncertain.

But, if you decide right now, that you can handle it, if you choose to believe that you can cope with whatever comes, then you are free to move through any life circumstance with a certain ease, a certain grace. And, when you can do that, you find meaning in the madness and transcend the trouble.

Do this by turning inward instead of outward. Stop looking for external rewards of money and status and fancy cars and fancy houses. Stop relying on things to give you confidence. Instead, discover the vast reservoir you have within. You are flawed and imperfect and compassionate, loving, talented, and special. You are all of that.

When we embrace all that we are we are free to create our experience rather than complain about it. There is power in this, because as creators, we are aligned with our essence and able to live from our highest self — the seat of love, compassion, acceptance.

From this place it all works. It’s all good enough. From here, you can recognize that even the hardship and struggle is providing you the insight you need to make the next moment better, then the next. This awareness allows you to step fully into your life, to follow your dreams, and to deliberately make each moment matter.

I know you can do it, because I know who you are at your essence, who we all are: Enough. You are enough to live the life you desire.

Now, get after it.

 

 

 

 

 

[Journal Entry] Stop Whining and Don’t Be Lazy!

Hi, friends!

While I know the title of this article may be attention-grabbing, it’s probably not what you may think.

Funny how a title with an attitude like that can grab our attention, tho, isn’t it? Something to think about, in and of itself.

Moving onward …

OK, I’ll admit it … as a parent and step-parent, whining and laziness are definitely two of my ‘Top 10 Pet-Peeves’. In short, I simply don’t believe it’s acceptable behavior due to the effects of such behaviors on those within the same energetic ‘field of vision’. Whining and laziness do not encourage, enforce, or promote a loving vibration, and do not belong in any household or relationship, plain and simple.

“Get over yourself and do what you need to do!” That’s the short-answer solution to the issue. And, I won’t go on about it any further as it’s not necessary and this article isn’t exactly about that.

However, I will utilize the ‘get over yourself and do what you need to do’ statement as a segue …

In doing all of the things I do during a day’s time, I’ve ran across several (too many!) articles by people stating how they’re ‘SOOO’ (emphasis on dramatics here) disappointed in a ‘lack of anything happening’ on 12.21.12, that all-important, end-all date so many in our world today anticipated. Worse yet, many of these articles are by Lightworkers, and their authors seem to feel the need to use all-encompassing statements like how so many Lightworkers are soooooo disappointed that ‘nothing happened’.

Please allow me to rant here a bit, if I may …

First of all, being a Lightworker myself, I would prefer not to be clumped into such all-encompassing statements and the energy such statements sends out to the Universe. Be real and be genuine and be accountable for yourself and only yourself when it comes to feelings like that.

If YOU are personally ‘SOOOOOO disappointed’ about it, then simply state that, deal with it, and move on. But don’t muddle through your days, wandering aimlessly, and thinking that all or most others are in agreement with your statement simply because it’s true for you and probably for several others. If you’re unable to handle it that way, then keep it to yourself to begin with, please.

I’m not judging anyone here … although it may well sound as if I am. I’m simply making a personal statement, because, regardless of what you or you or you may or may not have experienced before, on, and after 12.21.12, I happened to have several wonderful, awesome, love-filled, very deeply moving experiences, and am still feeling the effects right this very moment. And, I know – by reading a LOT of other articles about other people’s experiences – that I am not alone. MUCH actually happened on 12.21.12, and much, MUCH more is happening now.

Did we see our skies filled with fleets of our Star brothers and sisters’ crafts? No, but if you check YouTube, you’ll quickly discern that many more people are filming them, seeing them, working toward openly discussing and accepting them, and so on.

Did we experience a worldwide blackout for 3 days? No, but many of us did experience our own, personal ‘3 days of darkness’ on a spiritual level. Burned off a lot of karma, I’m sure, as well as a lot of expectations … and turned them into tuning in more to my Higher Self, my soul-level beingness … and then got back to the business at-hand of helping others to awaken, while awakening more myself.

See, it’s all personal, yet it all connects to everyone and everything else. So, stop whining and don’t be lazy. LET IT GO and go with the flow. Open your eyes – especially your 3rd one – and realize, BEYOND your ego, where probably 99% of your expectations (and now the ‘hurt’ feeling of ‘being let down’) comes from, that we ARE in the midst of changes never before seen or experienced on Earth. Then, go a step further and realize that YOU have played a MAJOR role in all of this, and you still do, in every moment.

What is YOUR truth? What is YOUR reality? Can you ‘tune in’ to the Divine energies and honestly say that nothing has changed? Even if it APPEARS that the entire world is the same today as it was a year ago, can you not see that this simply is not the case? Can you dive deep, beyond all of the layers that have been piled upon you since a very young age, and re-surface as the same person? In one moment of time, this can be done. In one moment of time, in a single breath, you can breathe in the intense Light and Love of Source/God, and know that we are all one.

And now, reading that, knowing that you can do this if you just try it … does that not create a change within you, which then causes (and/or effects) change in others; in our entire planet and, in fact, in the entire Universe?

If I wrote this as a channeled message from a Galactic Being or Ascended Master, would you listen more closely and take it deeper into your heart? Would it hold greater bearing on you, your future? Would it help you in finding your true passion and living the life you truly dream of, deserve, strive daily for or long for late at night?

Your truth is within you at all times, and is just as connected to Divine Source as everything else is. Seek to reveal it … daily.

You have work to do, and thinking our Star brothers and sisters, the Ascended Masters and Archangels will just do it for us ‘ain’t gonna cut it’. So, listen – really LISTEN – to your intuition and Divine Guidance, and don’t be lazy … get back to work!

So many Lightworkers DO want to see all of the incredible things we’ve been reading so much about actually come to fruition. Yes, this is true, and yes, most of us believe these things will happen and actually ARE happening. Yet, while we call out to the world that we don’t need science to back our beliefs, we don’t need ‘proof’ of the Shift in Consciousness, we don’t need anyone to endorse our anticipations and anxieties by physical manifestation, we sometimes miss the bigger picture and don’t realize that many of the things we’ve been longing for ARE happening around us, within us, and within every being on our planet.

And, if you take a break, step out of your zone for a few minutes, and look around, you can see – yes, even in the mainstream media outlets – that science is making discoveries that ‘make sense’, fitting right in with the whole concept of ‘the Shift’, ‘the New Age’, etc. You can see that there are MANY things happening in the matrix – the world and illusion in which we participate (both knowingly and unknowingly) – that can be connected like dots in a 3 year old’s activity book, showing us that, yes, things ARE changing.

HOW can there be disappointment? What – your egoistic mind told you that ‘if you don’t see _________ on December 21, 2012, then you should be extremely disappointed’? Seriously? We’re Lightworkers … ego is a reflection of the matrix, the illusion, the self-engorging aspect of physical life that we, as a collective, tend to do our best to overcome. And, like karma, it’s not something you’re intended to use to your advantage only when you feel it does or does not apply to you. That’s not the way it works. Shit or get off the pot – it’s all or nothing, so you either overcome ego to the best of your ability, or you play by the rules that have been set by the puppet-masters.

And speaking of puppet-masters, I want to add a few thoughts here …

As a Lightworker, I stand up and proudly announce, in this very moment, that my goal is NOT to ‘fight the dark’. The Cabal, Illuminati, Dark Ones (never understood why people capitalize that, but …), etc … I don’t post articles here, coach and help fellow travelers, connect with kindred souls, write what I write, and do all I do as an effort of ‘fighting’ the dark. There is no push-pull, fists up, fight-or-flight to this for me. Instead, my efforts and goals (and my very essence, for that matter) are toward awakening (myself and others), Truth, reality, Love, Peace, and Light. The dark is being brought into the Light. I don’t look at all of it as ‘us against them’, ‘the 99% against the 1%’.

While there are aspects of it all that scream ‘fight’, I don’t personally believe that’s the attitude to have. I believe the attitude and energy to have is of Love, and that the only way we can create ‘Nova Earth’, the new world, and proceed as smoothly as possible into this New Age is by waking up, letting go, relaxing into the flow of the energies of Divine Source, and continuing an endless path of awakened enlightenment; NOT by fighting ANYTHING, but by loving.

Posting articles and videos that expose the Dark Ones, the Cabalistic Elite, etc, is not intended to be ‘against THEM’, but ‘FOR us, as ONE’. There’s a difference. Think about it and let it sink in, and when you realize that difference, you’ll be one more step ahead of where you were a moment ago. 😉

While I’m at it, please allow me to also state that, while I post a lot of articles that I feel are good intel, good information for you, helpful in the awakening process, etc, I do not necessarily agree with every word of every article or video. ‘Nuff said.

In closing this article today, I want to share something I’ve said over and over again …

If what you want isn’t what you’re getting, give more of what you want.

If you want more love, be more loving.

If you want more to be grateful for (ie, financially, etc), then be more grateful for what you have … even if it’s ‘not much’.

If you want more peace, then be more peaceful.

If you want change, BE the change!

Lightworkers: Unite, stay strong, ‘be here now’, and continue your incredible, loving work! We are beyond ‘the tipping point’, and the time is NOW for the dreams of a new world to manifest!

Be well. Much, MUCH love to all! ❤

One Question

Hi, friends!

What do 22 incredibly successful, life-changing thinkers like Randy Gage, Joe Vitale, Josh Hinds, Vic Johnson, Mike Litman, Rick Beneteau, Stephanie West-Allen, and 15 others, all gathered in one place, have in common?

For one, they are all friends of mine who I admire deeply. For another, they are all featured contributors in my second ebook, One Question To Success.

But, that’s not the point of this post today …

The point is this: In knowing these people as I do, and in studying others I’m connected with – from authors and speakers to TV personalities and more – it seems to me that one thing MANY mega-successful people have in common is the level of playfulness of their spirit.

And not just those who are mega-successful, but those who are such and who also have an incredibly positive, loving impact on the world. Take a look at some of those I connect with on Twitter and their posts there, and you’ll see what I mean even more.

Here’s a little story for you …

I can remember when I was finishing my first ebook, Peak Performance … Peak LIFE! and began my ‘exit’ of the Internet Marketing world and into my true calling of the spiritual, self-help, personal development world. I connected with Josh Hinds of GetMotivation.com, who co-authored One Question with me and is one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet. (Josh is another great example of a playful spirit, by the way.)

With Josh’s help, I connected with Randy Gage. At the time (early 2003), Randy was already a best-selling author, a VERY in-demand speaker, and already well known as a prosperity guru. So, I was absolutely blown away that he had agreed to contribute to our ebook, to say the least. (There’s much to be said about the power of asking, and the power of expecting positive results. More on that another time as well.)

Through further emails exchanged with Randy’s right-hand man, Ford Saeks,  I discovered that Randy was, at that time, on a get-away on a private island, ‘brainstorming and planning the next 5 years’. Josh and I were blessed that he took the time to partake in our project, and couldn’t have been more grateful.

And then, as we totally did not expect, he OVER-delivered, providing timeless content that has the ability to change lives. THEN, he went a step further and provided an ebook and video as a bonus gift for anyone who purchased our ebook! We were literally floored by his kindness!

When I emailed Randy a most heart-felt ‘Thank You’, he replied that he was happy to have the opportunity to contribute and thanked US for inviting him to do so as it was a lot of fun and he was honored.

Now, here’s a guy, who most people only dream of connecting with and who many pay thousands upon thousands of dollars to spend a bit of time with, contributing (and over-delivering!) to a project created by two guys who had a simple idea and a motivation to inspire and positively impact anyone they could touch. And Randy was playful throughout the entire process, as was Ford, who handled a lot of the communications.

One Question To SuccessIn fact, it seemed that Randy’s contribution gave Josh & I even more fuel and motivation. We finished the book in record time, taking only a few months from start to finish, connecting with 22 total contributors (many of which also contributed bonus gifts for buyers), and an affiliate network that helped us to make One Question To Success one of the biggest ‘success package’ hits in the personal development market in 2003! (“Success loves speed” … and massive action! I’ll talk more about that soon, too.)

So many people tend to stress, get overly-serious, grind our teeth, and cause ourselves so much tension and heartache just trying to make ends meet, get that next client, create that shiny new product, connect with our deeper selves and follow our spiritual journey’s path.

Fact is, we put ourselves in our own way of success.

We can be happy and prosperous, at ease and living a life of abundance, spiritual well-being, and continuously grow in our path, or we can be at dis-ease, unhappy, perpetuating our own misery, manipulating those around us to be more miserable, and run on the wheel of karma never changing our patterns, like hamsters in a cage.

Sure – it’s proven that hamsters enjoy those runs on their wheels, but what other choice do they have for fun … and how much fun could it possibly be, anyway? Think about it. We aren’t hamsters, and I firmly believe we are intended to enjoy the moments we experience, the contributions we can make to the world, and the prosperity we are intended to gravitate toward … completely, deeply, and with child-like wonderment.

The FUN of it – of LIFE – attracts more and more positive, abundant, prosperous energy … and more quickly, too, I believe, especially when fortified with heart-felt gratitude. Try it in your own life, and I’m sure you’ll agree.

To be continued …

Thanks for being here! Be well.

In Peace & Light:

Bryan

PS: It’s funny because, when I speak about this, people seem to get sidetracked with their curiosity, mostly wanting to know, “What is the ‘one question’?” You may be thinking the same thing. I’ll save that answer for another time (soon!), and hope you’ve allowed everything else here to soak in. 😉

Article From The Archives …

Your Life – Self Growth Without Stress

by Bryan Hall

 

How is your life unfolding? Do you have the ability to step back and take a look ‘from the outside’, as if to be a spectator viewing your life and its most impacting events?

To be as successful as you can possibly be, you have to learn to take that look, almost as a third-person point of view. Doing so, and practicing this more and more, you should be able to see why and how certain events in your past … certain decisions you’ve made and actions you’ve taken, have affected your life’s ‘what happened next’, and how your decisions and actions TODAY will affect and impact your TOMORROW.

Now, let me be clear about something, my friends: None of this is hard. None of this should be difficult or stressful. Of course, it doesn’t happen all on its own; you have to put passion into action, so to speak. But, my belief, and what I want to help people understand, is that personal development, spiritual growth, etc, should NOT be hard or stressful!

So many of the self-help programs, books, and the like tend to create an incredible amount of stress on people. Most of us don’t have an hour a day to meditate (although, it doesn’t hurt, if you can make the time, and the benefits can be life-altering). Most of us don’t have ‘nothing else going on’ to where we can just sit and think positive thoughts or repeat positive affirmations (again, doesn’t hurt to do it, but who has the time to focus on just that?).

Reading positive books is AWESOME … and, yes, you have to ‘make the time’ to do that, but most of us have so much else going on in our lives, just between work and family, that it’s often hard to find time to be able to ‘make the time’.

And, when you have a goal of changing something about yourself, improving your life in one way or another, growing spiritually, and so on, the LAST thing you really need (or want) is to feel STRESSED over the process of ‘getting there’.

So, what can you (or, rather, ‘the average person’) do during your busy, hectic days to find/make time to grow within yourself, spiritually, and hence also use that growth and change to better all other aspects of your life (including your business)?

Well, for one thing, try to stop thinking so much about how busy and hectic and stressful your days are. The life you are living today IS the journey you are on … in sooo many ways! I don’t care if you ’stop to smell the roses’, but if you don’t at least take some time to be grateful for what blessings you have, no matter how big or small, and to cherish those moments that bring you the most joy and happiness, then you’re ‘living by default’, as I like to say.

In other words, don’t live simply to die … live to LIVE MORE … ENJOY the journey each moment along the way!

Take the time (or ‘make’, if you prefer – however you have to look at it) to read something positive before you get your day started, and do so every day. Make a habit of it. Scientifically speaking, it takes 21 days of a repeated thought/action to create a ‘habit’. You don’t have to be a ‘junkie’ about it … just make a habit of a few new or different things in your life, and watch how your life changes!

I posted at my blog quite awhile back about the highly-acclaimed My Daily Insights email subscription. Other than on Fridays, when they send out a more lengthy ’Friday Story’, the My Daily Insights emails usually take 20 seconds or less to read, they are ALWAYS positive and thought-provoking, and CAN set the tone for your entire day!

Here’s another idea that’s really simple and stress-free, that I also talk about more in-depth in my ebook, Peak Performance … Peak LIFE!

Most people bathe on a daily basis. It’s part of your routine, right? Well, why not take a bit of that ‘alone time’ (assuming you bathe alone, that is ), and think about some of the things you’re grateful for, happy for, and some of the things you want to change/do/have/be/etc in your future? For most of us, there isn’t a much better time during our days to think about those types of things, or to spend even just a few moments in gratitude for the blessings we have.

Besides, there’s something to be said about cleaning the body while cleansing the mind and soul at the same time, allowing all of the dirt and grime of any ‘negative’ to wash away. Try it – you’ll see what I mean!

Personally, I worked very hard to change negative habits, to channel the inherent positive attitudes and energies that I believe we are all born with. And, to this day, I have my ‘bad moments’, just like the next guy does. But, it’s how you look at those ‘bad moments’ and what you do with them from that point forward that really matters.

Keep in mind, you aren’t going to change overnight, but if you don’t put the passion to grow behind action, then change never will happen other than by re-active or forced change, which most of us will fight against, sub-consciously at least, and may even self-sabotage because of, in that fighting effort.

When you take control and take responsibility for your own spiritual growth, personal development, etc, then change doesn’t ‘happen to you’ … you allow and encourage it to happen for you by way of setting it into motion to begin with. And, believe me, no one is more in charge of your life than YOU, my friend! It’s up to you, and you can do it.

Start today – right now!

Believe in yourself!

 

[Article] Giving and Prosperity

Giving and Prosperity

By Bryan Hall

Take a look around you.

Take a LOOK at your LIFE!

What do you notice?

Try this on for size …

As a world community of ONE people, we are continuously evolving, as is the Earth we live on. We are constantly changing, growing, and sharing in the energies that bond us in being-ness.

Now, this might seem elementary to some, but to others, this says something MUCH deeper. See … the way I look at it is, we are all constantly helping – or not helping – in some way or another, on some level or another WITHIN OURSELVES, to contribute (either positively or negatively) to CREATE the world in which we live.

And you’re reading this and saying, “SOOOOOOOOO WHAT?!?!” Right?

Well, here’s my point …

It is in helping others, in contributing in POSITIVE, loving ways, and in GIVING of ourselves, that we GAIN and GROW and attract the very same ABUNDANCE to our own lives.

Read that again.

It is in helping others … in contributing in POSITIVE, loving ways … and in GIVING of ourselves … that we GAIN and GROW … and ATTRACT the very same ABUNDANCE … to OUR OWN lives.

The world of today is evolving more and more, constantly, in awakening to this. If you can’t see it, then allow yourself to open up more to it and you’ll likely see it with crystal clarity.

So, let’s look at HOW you can affect others, in probably millions of ways. Let’s APPLY what we already KNOW and DO something positive with that knowledge, philosophy, and mindset.

How CAN you affect others, contribute in more positive ways, and – on a truly cosmic level – impact and influence the very cycle of evolution we exist in, (which, we know, is constantly changing)?

I’ll tell you how …

Give of yourself by giving your time.

Give of yourself by giving your attention.

Give of yourself by giving your love, your compassion, and your kindness.

Give of yourself BY BEING GRATEFUL for what you have … as constantly as possible, and with all your heart.

Give of yourself by sharing great books you’ve read with others (just give them away, and watch what happens).

Give of yourself, from your heart, to ONE PERSON today … even if it has to be YOU! (And MAKE time EVERY day to be sure you ARE loving yourself!)

BE passionate. BE of service. BE positive. BE loving. BE YOUR TRUE SELF … and don’t even THINK about holding back!

What you’ll receive back for giving in that way is sure to pleasantly surprise you, if it doesn’t flat-out blow you away! And you truly ARE helping people, while also helping yourself.

To quote prosperity guru, Randy Gage, “You can’t out-give the Universe!”

Mahatma Gandhi said, “You must BE the change you wish to see in the world.”

BE the change. Starting today – this very moment.

BE
THE
CHANGE.

One of the greatest “secrets” to success of incredible proportions is to GIVE more value than you RECEIVE … but you have to START GIVING to set that force in motion. And you have to take MASSIVE, determined, unfaltering ACTION to increase the momentum of that force.

DO IT.

If you don’t believe me … do it.

If you TOTALLY believe me, and you already KNOW this works … do it.

Do it … with passion, with love.

Do it – NOW!

Keep the passion. Take massive action. And let YOUR passion fuel you to your greatest dreams and desires!

To YOUR Abundance and Prosperity!

Well, why not take a bit of that ‘alone time’ (assuming you bathe alone, that is ), and think about some of the things you’re grateful for, happy for, and some of the things you want to change/do/have/be/etc in your future? For most of us, there isn’t a much better time during our days to think about those types of things, or to spend even just a few moments in gratitude for the blessings we have.

Besides, there’s something to be said about cleaning the body while cleansing the mind and soul at the same time, allowing all of the dirt and grime of any ‘negative’ to wash away. Try it – you’ll see what I mean!

Personally, I worked very hard to change negative habits, to channel the inherent positive attitudes and energies that I believe we are all born with. And, to this day, I have my ‘bad moments’, just like the next guy does. But, it’s how you look at those ‘bad moments’ and what you do with them from that point forward that really matters.

Keep in mind, you aren’t going to change overnight, but if you don’t put the passion to grow behind action, then change never will happen other than by re-active or forced change, which most of us will fight against, sub-consciously at least, and may even self-sabotage because of, in that fighting effort.

When you take control and take responsibility for your own spiritual growth, personal development, etc, then change doesn’t ‘happen to you’ … you allow and encourage it to happen for you by way of setting it into motion to begin with. And, believe me, no one is more in charge of your life than YOU, my friend! It’s up to you, and you can do it.
