Accept your cutting edge

As you deliberately focus attention on ideas and experiences, you influence the momentum and direction of your vibration, and the nature of conditions you invite into your life.  As you feel the rightness of certain choices, grow aware of what evokes good feelings inside.  Its like you gather momentum of everything that is required to make things show up in your visceral experience.  Every choice inspires you to feel more clarity about conditions and events that are bringing your dreams and what you are asking for into being.  Whatever you focus on activates a thought vibration and law of attraction responds to all of it now.

What is thought? To give your attention to anything activates the underlying energy vibration within you. To feel inspired is to validate the impulse to act. Motivation is the desire to act against or resist something. Notice your thinking tendencies. Do you imagine problems into being?, Do you self-criticize and discourage self from trusting intuition? Or, do you heed the pulses within that prompt you to feel secure confidence, that remind you of knowing you already have what you want? Recognize the power of that infallible, emotional guidance system. It always tells you where you stand between perception of 'here and there.'

Notice you realize every thought you put into motion. Notice the underlying vibrations of love and fear.  Being aware of difference and your freedom to choose means you accept you are at the cutting edge of creation.  You awaken to the journey of moving to align energetically with knowing. Every thought and feeling is a timeless teacher. You are student, teacher and energy being always transforming into more.

Reconnect with spontaneity

Notice the nature of soul-level spontaneity versus mind-driven motivation.  Which do you favor or ignore?  One way to deepen spiritual practice is to sense a journey to expand and serve others emerges from the innermost core. 

Take the example some people are inspired by altruism, that is the desire to serve.  Others are motivated to act based on fear or something in-between.  The world transforms through our changes in attitude, perception and behaviour.  Whether you choose to awaken to the nature of the essence of being and extent of energy flowing through you, is up to you.

How do you know if you're seeing things?

People will often ask whether what they think they are experiencing is real. Does this sound familiar? Are you the kind of person who uses the mind to determine your sense of the truth or do you feel it? Recognize why you choose to sense certain people or sources of information are credible and others not.  You have underlying motivations for taking sides and also for choosing not to agree or disagree.

Perception is subjective.  Each person creates his own signposts about what is real or not.  Some people ground their reality in conditioned beliefs and attitudes.  Other people tap into energy, faith, inner knowing and sense clarity presents when questions fade away.  Notice why you view something as true or false, real or unreal.  How do fear and other feelings fit in? Each one is your choice.

If you conclude you are "seeing things," you are basically doubting the senses. Some people say they would only believe something if they saw it themselves and yet, other people choose not to have faith in their own senses. When people describe something to you that you resist, you may say they must be dreaming. Every thought and feeling is part of how you choose to Transform Your Life.

Dale Beaumont & interview to inspire dreams

Dale Beaumont is a young Australian whose incredible energy and prolific writing inspire others to reconnect with their own inner passion.

After reading about him and hearing The Creative Penn Podcast with Joanna, I approached him to share insight about what makes him tick. He collaborates to empower people to write their own way to success.

Dale, when did life truly begin for you?

Sydney, Australia, June 1981. That's when I was born.

After highschool, you wrote, The World at Your Feet. That set the stage for the dream you live through the 'Secrets Exposed' series. Sketch some highlights;

The first book released into stores in November 2005. By late 2007, I told Growth Business Magazinea total of 15 ‘Secrets Exposed’ books had been released, and 200,000 copies sold. Incredibly, 11 of those 15 books were published in 2007.

You marvel readers with such accomplishments. Which 5 things most influnce or inspire you?

1. My wife Katherine. She has a great business brain and always knows the right thing to say at the right time.

2. Meeting the hundreds of inspiring people who are part of the ‘Secrets Exposed’ book series.

3. Being an elite Gymnast 7 years and having a great coach who always let me know I was capable of achieving more.

4. Being involved in Network 21, a training company that offers great seminars in personal and leadership development.

5. Working with teenagers – they never cease to amaze me with their creative spirit and desire to make a difference.

Why create the 'Secrets Exposed' series? I mean, what is the real purpose or motivation behind this project?

Its about helping people to get up-close and personal with highly-successful individuals, providing a medium to discover inspirational stories, what drove them to achieve and how they approach challenges in life and business.

People we admire started in exactly the same place. The vast majority didn’t come from privileged backgrounds. They had very rocky roads with misadventures and personal obstacles.

High-achievers take the time to really think about what they want, and then don’t compromise and sell out when things get a little tough. Also, successful people commit to continual growth. They understand the power of simple positive steps.

That insight really hits home for a lot of people. Its commonto be confused about why you are not in a situation like someone you admire. You suggest everyone is exactly where he needs to be now.

As it happens, my next book covers 730 inspirations to help readers realize they are awakening skills inside based on who they admire. 365 Daily reflections offer glimpses into mentors' lives according to theme, my connection and universal lessons. As you imply, we learn from each other, based on remaining open and creating opportunity.

In any event, what brought you to your current mindset in your own writing process?

While working with teenagers, I always sayonly two ways exist to live – one is through ‘trial & error’ and the other is by ‘following a recipe’. I discovered that whatever you want, chances are, someone is already living it. They have already invested the time, effort, and moneyto succeed. So sure, you can go out and do it all yourself or, you can find someone who already has results and ask him to share what he has learnt.

How would you describe your view of 'success?'

For me, success is; Balance, Happiness and Impact.

Firstly, there are many different facets to a person’s life. It is a waste of time being a multi-millionaire if you’re unhealthy, your marriage is in taters, you have a poor relationship with your kids and you do nothing for your community – really, what is the point. I believe that for a person to be truly successful they must take some time to focus on each aspect of their life. It doesn’t mean every area needs to be a perfect 10 (nobody’s is), however it is important to keep things balanced and in the right perspective.

Secondly, people need to focus on doing things that are going to make them happy. Don’t wait because weeks quickly become months and months quickly become years! Maybe it is a dream holiday with the family, taking up a sport or hobby or time with special friends. Remember this saying, “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success.”

Thirdly, at the end of our lives, I believe that we should be able to say ‘I gave more to the world than I took from it’. So for me, making a difference and having an impact on people is an important thing. And I really see the things that I am doing now as just the beginning.

Where is the 'Secrets Exposed' series expanding?

The series has expanded into Asia already– specifically the markets of Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. Then, there is New Zealand.  Of course, I can’t take the soul credit. It really has been a team effort.

One hears popular seminars have developed out of these books, but tell us about the business.

Outside of the ‘Secrets Exposed’ books and seminars, we have continued to grow our first business, Tomorrows Youth International, and I set up a new website (www.GetPublishedSecrets.com) to show people how to successfully make money with their own book ideas.

In a nutshell, what do you recommend to people who are on their own path to creating success?

Nothing happens overnight.

After school, I attended loads of personal development seminars. After 9 months of earning and learning, I established my first business called Tomorrows Youth. Three years later, I created the Secrets Exposed series.

Everyone is a mentor

I didn’t really have a single coach or mentor in early days of my business. I had a whole host of people that I could call on when I needed help. That was one of the great things about attending lots of seminars, you get to meet a lot of people – all with their own area of expertise. I honestly had over 100 meetings in that first year of business. It was the best business education I could have received.

Expect setbacks

My first year of business, I was 19 and naive. I didn’t really have any fear. I think I was running on pure adrenaline. Having the support of my best friend, as my business partner, was pretty cool. Thankfully, I am blessed with good self-esteem and I am highly confident in my abilities. I always asking people for help and take lots of action.

Thanks Dale. Your insight is timeless and energy catching. As the Managing Director of Dream Express International Pty. Ltd., you offer a wealth of wisdom.  We are grateful to learn from this experience and feel inspired to stretch ourselves. I encourage readers to consult these websites and the 'Secrets Exposed' books.  Dale is also on Twitter.

You are what you believe

When you feel as though you're mistreated or overlooked, you have choices about how to view what has happened and how to feel inside. Depending on how you perceive how you are treated you determine if its urgent to act or whether it is more prudent to bide your time.

I know a guy who was struggling to ascend the corporate ladder. He felt that he met obstacles every step of the way. Although he was known to do more than was expected, he was criticized by superiors for not achieving enough. Although he was conscientious and significantly increased his sales, he was repeatedly snubbed by co-workers who nabbed some of his clients. Although he was diligent and submitted reports on-time, computers would crash and digest precious documents before his big presentations. Still, he kept a cool head, remained open to learning, and told himself all his hard work would pay off. He didn't harbor pain or negative feelings. He decided every experience was meant to reveal useful things.

Time passed, some of his dishonest peers were promoted to the next level but he wasn't. Still, he refused to be discouraged. He simply told himself that he was meant for something more suitable and had to be patient. Rather than dwell on what he wasn't doing, he focused on what he was doing, only better than before. He decided reasons exist for everything and if he wasn't ready to understand why he was where he was, then he wouldn't have opportunities to go anywhere else. It made sense. He accepted he had more learning to do and focused on that.

When directors decided to organize a huge company expansion, they were prepared to take calculated risks.  He was approached personally to head a brand new division. Directors were taking a leap of faith with their business projections, but they also had faith this was an appropriate role for their promoted employee.  He had waited and opportunity knocked.  The responsibility he was given rewarded the energy and attention he had devoted to previous posts.

Rather than rest on his laurels, he chose to give regular motivational talks on the side.  He reasoned that being open to learning what we do wrong is actually an opportunity to get better. He chose to believe it’s a blessing to be told what we're not meant to do, because that brings us that much closer to discovering what we are.  He learned that wasting energy complaining about what you're not is actually distracting you from getting-to-know who you are.  Fulfillment is innate. Think positively and how you view your life changes.  After all, you are what you believe.
