Of Over Yourself.
Yes, that M.A.D.!
Have you hear this said before about an athlete “he could be one of the great competitors of his time, but he doesn’t know how to manage himself”
Being M.A.D. is about bringing all parts of one’s life under personal control and to live in personal harmony that is economic (not wasteful), effective (not weak) and satisfying (not guilt-producing). Some people relate to this notion as self-discipline.

You can’t prevent yourself or your partner from having an attraction to someone else.
Attraction is a natural part of life. It will happen. Energy is just energy. If you suppress that natural flow of attraction, what will often happen is that you will end up disconnecting from a part of yourself, which in turn affect the flow of chemistry between you and your partner.
If you let them know how you feel up front, they at least have a choice whether to continue in the relationship with you or not, rather than being there under false pretense. If you both agree to be monogamous and faithful to each other, then honor that commitment. But if it’s not your authentic truth and you are simply agreeing to what you think you should, then you are already being unfaithful to yourself and your partner.

To love, trust and honor yourself is the ultimate foundation for any relationship.
The relationship with yourself is mirrored in the relationship with the partners that you attract into your life. Each moment we are at choice – a choice to choose love or a choice to choose fear. A choice to cheat or a choice to live with integrity. Every relationship is the opportunity to practice integrity and to live your spirituality in everyday life. When you don’t honor what you truly feel or your deepest truth in a relationship, you cheat on yourself and this is when unfaithfulness begins.

“Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.” ~ Lao Tzu
How well do you know yourself, I mean really know yourself? The first essential aspect of living a more authentic life is to know who we truly are at the deepest level. Some of us may be more aware of ourselves than others. Knowing ourselves, like being authentic itself, is a life long process. The more intentional we are about this, the more we can grow and evolve.
Given our depth, complexity and constant evolution as human beings, it’s not possible for us to get to a point in life at which we know everything about ourselves. However the majority of us stay pretty unconscious and unaware of ourselves for much of our lives – which often causes a great deal of confusion and suffering for us and those around us. Our goal, therefore, is to continue to discover more and more about who we really are as we go through our journey.

The mornings when I am reminded to be still seem to be the day when clarity seeks to emerge. When the path for my desires look me in the eyes and say here I am at your beckon call. What will you do now?
The whole of life experiences exist solely in this moment. How I choose to react in this moment will define how life shows up in the next moment. Okay I get this Spirit and…..
Humbly I recognize that the space of transformation takes courage and oh so much humility, righteous positions crumble to the voice of my Divinity and then I empty and return to my breathe. The little “coincidences” and miracles that use to jolt me for weeks now takes a day and then I remember who I am.

“You can’t reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterday’s junk.” ~ Louise Smith
Now if your time to release and let go. Open the palm of your hands and allow the grip you hold to loosen. Now is the time for a new YOU to emerge. Yes, NOW! Your highest potential is seeking an outlet into expression and that outlet can only be found when you release the junk of yesterday.
The junk of yesterdays are the things that no longer serve you. This junk limits you to the past. It keeps you stuck and unmovable without the possibility of new experiences and opportunities. Some of the junk that we tend to hold on to is unforgiveness, unhealthy relationships, grudges, hurts and miscommunication. We get to wound up in the junk that our emotions and triggers are constantly on.

“H.I.P. people have release control of being the general manager of the universe. They trust that there’s a divine plan unfolding for the best for everyone. Be H.I.P. Trust that the universe has got your back.” ~ Coach T
We are not responsible for everyone in this world. In fact a lot of times we even have no control over our own lives. I believe that there is something much greater ruling this world, something that cannot be described in words and cannot be fully understood. Some call it God, the universe, life.
We do not have to take on everything that is going on in the world as our responsibility to fix. Things happen to us and to those that we love and care about, but still we do not have to make it our business to attempt to fix everything that happens. Some things we cannot fix, we are simply going to experience them – both good and bad. Taking it upon ourselves to carry all of the weight for everyone we care about is not healthy. We cannot carry the burdens of other people and we cannot fix them either.

Freedom, spontaneity, love, joy, all require great discipline.
Discipline does not mean forcing ourselves to do something or refraining from being involved with some negative action. Discipline means looking beyond the appearance, beyond that which is visible and acknowledging on Infinite cause.
When there is no discipline in your life, you are busily reacting to the world, to whatever it presents to you. If you are pleased when something that you consider good happens, you are still giving power to that good and it is then controlling you. When you are unhappy because a problem comes along you are reacting to this appearance and thus are not free to be your self.

“You must take responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the wind, but you can change yourself” – Jim Rohn
Taking 100% responsibility for our lives can appear to be a big task, daunting at times when we look at our lives over the years and the experiences we would rather not look at. However, if we desire to live boldly and to live the life of our dreams it is a necessary journey we all must take to give birth to our authentic selves. Here are a few practices you can adopt in order to take full responsibility:

The journey towards deeper AUTHENTICITY starts with our awareness of ourselves. There is a difference between knowing about yourself and actually being fully aware of yourself.
