I own it! – DoWoo #77/365

“We are all self-made, but only the successful will admit it.”  Earl Nightingale. 

Should_I_Start_My_Own_Consulting_Business_heroWalter shared the above quote Walter from a call he was on this evening.  Meanwhile I had been on the phone with a friend of mine.  Upon hearing my DoWoo post from yesterday and the day before, she observed and that no matter what was going on, I “owned it”.  

In our Master Key webcast today they spoke about recognizing that no matter what road we are on, we chose the road. We need to own it.  

JugglingI admit I have not been as committed to the daily Master Key process up till now, allowing the myriad of balls I am constantly juggling to be partially my excuse.  The bottom line is that it is still an excuse. I need to own it.  However, I am not going to beat myself up for anything  I have not done up till now – “Today ends at midnight” as Walter often reminds me. So, what now? 

own-itI own my thoughts! I own my feelings! I own my belief! Most of all, I own my journey! So I choose, in writing to you and myself, I own my success! Therefore as the Blue Print Builder states “I know I have the abillity to achieve the object of my Definite Major Purpose in Life, therefore I demand of myself Persistent, Continuous Action towards its attainment and I hear and now promise to render such action.   

I own my life!

Are You Picking Up? – DoWoo #73/365

A friend used a unique (to me) expression this evening – I grabbed a piece of paper during our discussion and quickly wrote it down. I believe I have heard it before (possibly from her) but it’s not something I’ve heard often.  

“I’m picking up what you are putting down.”            

It’s all about communication!  What an amazing thing we humans do. We share thoughts and ideas and…and…wait for it….opinions!  Sharing however is only one component of effective communication.   And what other kind does one want?  It’s about that “picking up/putting down” phrase and then much more so.  

I love my husband’s take on this.  He explained many years ago that communication was a 4 step process. 

  1. Sharing Information 
  2. Accepting information
  3. Understanding information
  4. Acting upon information

From my perspective of observations – many people share (putting down), most will accept (picking up), some will go so far as to ensure they understand (more in-depth picking up) but then the question is how many actually act upon it?  If we share and we receive and we understand but do nothing – did we truly communicate? 

yes-no-buttonsPlease feel free to share your opinion!

I appreciate you stopping by and considering whether what I have to say resonates with you or not.  I am blessed to be here!  Thank you.

We Live in the Mountains – DoWoo #72/365

Was chatting with someone today who mentioned a family member was not fully supportive of their vision of their future reality – their Definite Major Purpose realized.   They did not understand the Master Key course.   I empathized and told a story of when I read one of the scrolls from Og’s book to my mom; she asked me how long I’d belonged to this cult.  I laughed then and I laughed this evening in recollection. 

imagesIn considering this…I asked myself – what advise would I give for someone whose family did not fully support (if I were an expert and they asked me for my opinion)? I would suggest they consider whether they were going to allow this person’s opinion to have an impact on their Definite Major Purpose – their future? 

Now – I didn’t give this advise nor am I giving it now. This is more about me realizing that while I am fully cognizant of what I should do – I also admit (a bit sheepishly) that I don’t always do what I should do. So – am I allowing my perceived version of others opinions or possibly my overactive negative slant on things – to take over?  Why not? Is it fear? Laziness? Anxiousness? Feelings of being unworthy? Risk of failing?

Does that matter either? 

No! It does not matter what others think – their opinion do not matter – and it does not matter what I ‘over-think’ it to be – that negative opinion does not matter either.  

It’s not about what I’m thinking; it’s about who I am being.  

And if I am being true to who I am meant to be.  Then any vision I have which feels good must be good.  I would recommend each of us fully embrace our vision and allow others to choose their course.  

Now imagine if when you had that idea or a vision or a feeling of your future and your family rooted for you no matter the vision? How would that feel? Greg called out to us while he was getting dressed for bed: “Remember how I drew our house in Costa Rica? I think we live in the mountains.”  He is creating his own vision along with ours,   All we do is ask for more detail and  allow his story to unfold. Way cool! Loads of fun too! 

Body Talk – DoWoo #71/365

mzi.xakwfrqkWas chatting with someone today about their future reality – talking about envisioning what ‘feels’ good to them – choosing based upon how your body reacts.  I suggested she read through what she had drafted until something made her body go ‘wooo’.  She read through all her notes but said nothing went ‘wooo’. So I read what she wrote and my body went ‘wooo’ at certain spots.  I shared my reactions. She felt in tune with my observations. 

While she may not be in tune (as yet) with her body talking – I know my body talks to me. AND I also know when I have listened, things align. When I ignore these feelings, I usually end up saying “I told you so” to myself. 

Listening-dog_innolectinc.com_We know thoughts are energy.  So if thoughts are energy, when we think something good, it should feel good. When we think of something negative, it most likely feels ‘not so good’.  We just need to recognize what these feelings feel like.  Sometimes they can be quite quick and minor and other times they are prolonged and loud.  Either way it is your entire body telling you which way to go with whatever is going on. 

We’ve been working with our 9 year old to help him recognize this within himself. Imagine embracing this ability early on in life? The one thing he seems to have grasped so far is that when he is not truthful, his throat hurts.  VERY cool! 

Are you listening?? 

No matter what… – DoWoo #70/365

callReceived a call this evening from a good friend of mine who resides in Scotland. She and I met in 2,000 when we worked for a small division of a global corporation. We bonded a year later when we both worked out of our London office.  Debbie is a wonderful soul who is on a journey of discovery (a hero’s journey I now recognize it to be) and I have the pleasure of calling her my friend – a sister by choice. 

We spoke for almost 90 minutes. The depth of her teachings leave me in awe.  Tonight we spoke of many things but the repetitive message I heard was one of learning to be calm in the midst of chaos.  This is something I get glimpses of. Debbie embodies this teaching and admits one may always continue to try…but ultimately this is ones goal – to be totally calm, at one with the Universal Source, no matter what hell is going on around them.  

Greenhouse_by_Joost_Imagine_800x332being all that we can be, as our source intended us to be, allowing everything to be as it is, live truly in the NOW without concern for future moments or consideration for past moments? How wondrous would it be to have no fear, worry, stress, anxiousness, anger….? If we live in the NOW and allow – we would not know these things.  The “no matter what” would have zero effect on us. 

As Mark J mentioned on tonight’s webcast, we would be in the ZONE: Zero Out Negative Effect. zone_4 (1)

Which comes first: Faith or Belief? – DoWoo# 68/365

I  recognize my future reality needs to be embraced now.  How else are we to shift the framework of our space in this form other than to alter our thoughts, allowing them to take hold and manifest our vision once we truly believe?  How are we to believe that that which we envision is to become a reality? We must have faith. How does one have faith? We must believe. 

BeliefandFaithFaith and belief. Which comes first? Are they one and the same? Does it really matter?

Mark J teaches us when we combine a thought with belief and feeling, we can alter our reality. Which one do we concentrate on first? In drafting my DMP (Definite Major Purpose), I started with thoughts and then decided whether I believed them to be true and then I added feeling to them. 

Why not start with feeling? If you find a feeling within yourself, something which resonates on a frequency all its own. Identify what that feeling is – describe it.  Then allow the feeling and its description to show you the vision – belief will be entwined already. This vision is my truth.  

Tonight I concentrated on the feeling which runs through me when I listen to a thunderstorms in the distance with rain forest creatures commenting in tune.  The feelings bring visions of living in the rain forest, waking up to the sounds – painting with the sounds in the background – enjoying quiet reflective time with my family – always the sounds in the background.  I am at home in this vision. This vision is my truth. 

How fast do thoughts seek expression? – DoWoo #63/365

Within our MK Blue Print Builder it reads: “…ANY desire that I persistently hold in my mind seeks expression through a practical means of obtaining the object back of it…”

Walter treated us to a new recipe for dinner tonight – a mushroom and quinoa mixture.  While we are reasonable about healthy eating, are not either one extreme or the other, we are not as good as we would like to be.  Hence, branching out using quinoa.   

It was good. Not totally what we are used to – but that’s the point – right?  We were discussing it as we would down our day chatting when Walter mentioned quinoa could stay in the fridge for up to 7 days.  Why not see if we could cook it in a rice cooker so using it could be faster and possibly more versatile? 

Walter walked over to his computer and typed in Google Search “Can you coo…..” and low and behold the most popular options appeared before the question was complete. The #1 being….quinoaSo, how long do YOU think it takes for thoughts to seek expression? Or at least provide you the question with answers before you have typed in your full thought! LOL yellow_happy

We were calling it a night when I walked past the office into our room. I turned to Walter and suggested he “Look out in the hallway and see all the stuff that is gone”.  Yesterday we pulled everything out of the entire office, other than the main furniture, and it had taken temporary landed status in our main upper hallway.  Today we cleaned, rearranged, restructured, sorted, organized, etc.  Within a day we accomplished so much.  Once we set our mind to the final outcome – everything else just became a moving treadmill of action.  This is the Master Key Experience.  Mahalo Mark & Davene!

“Without Opinion” – DoWoo #61/365

We are now at the stage in the Master Key Experience where the class members are asked to refrain for having an opinion on anything (unless they are asked and they are an expert on the subject). This is something I consciously worked on during the 2 week stint we were initially requested to refrain within. I was however somewhat lax in my retention of this perspective. Hence the 365 day blog.  Keeping this matter forefront in my daily life for a year! 

Walter looked at me today and said it must be a challenge to have a job which requires you to provide an opinion all day long.  I am a relocation consultant and summarize details on specific real estate matters. 

2013-06-13-no-opinion-zoneI got to thinking…must I have an opinion in order to do what I do? I’m thinking… NOT.  I do need to have significant depth of knowledge in order to inquire further on the detail provided. I do need the ability to disseminate the information gathered and prepare it in a way which is specific, measurable and supported. I do need skill to gather the information.  However, I do not need to have an opinion. 

I will never be able to look at what I do in the same way again.  I am a consultant.  I do not offer an opinion, I offer details with supporting documentation after having reviewed the available angels for all the pertinent data.  What my client does with that information is an opinion! 

Whoo Hooo!!  I Do Woo! Do You? 

ALL Things ARE Possible – DoWoo #47/365

giraffe-love-317x630Our son wanted to draw something this evening and asked me what animal I would choose. I suggested a giraffe.  He asked to see what the pattern looked like so he did it correctly. 

I pulled up a Google search on images for giraffes. In perusing them, we came across the most amazing picture – something I could not imagine how it was accomplished. We both had to laugh loudly! 

I immediately sent it onto our coach and mentor Mark Januszewski – he has a “thing” for giraffes (a different story for a different time). His response was perfect:  

“All things are possible.”  

This is a man who truly understands and embraces this concept.  I aspire to have his conviction and depth of belief.

Mahalo my friend! We’ve got your back!

Purple Elephant – DoWoo #42/365

Was chatting today about concentrating on the past versus living in the now and in the future. After everything we’ve learned during the Master Key course, I know our reality is based upon our thoughts. What we concentrate on determines where we are and where we are will have a direct correlation to where we are going. 

So…if we concentrate on all the things which got us to where we are today – we will most likely create today to look very similar to what yesterday looked like.  And then tomorrow will look like today. And so on.  And so on.  Is this what we want? 

I decided that a verbal reminder would be a good option to help shift thoughts away from any past reference which is not conducive, or supportive, of a future filled with everything I envision my future to be.  The phrase: “Purple Elephant”.  

I was then reminded of a phenomenal video: A Big Giant Purple Elephant on Steroids! Enjoy! 

Give More: Get More – DoWoo #40/365

One of the philosophies we embrace early on within the Master Key Experience is:  “Give More: Get More”.  There are a number of twists on how to translate the meaning of this phrase. 

quote-try-not-to-become-a-man-of-success-but-a-man-of-value-look-around-at-how-people-want-to-get-more-albert-einstein-226629

I went to a networking event this evening. On the way there I chose to plug in and listen to a Success CD. Daren Hardy was interviewing 2 people on networking (!) and what were they talking about….Give more in order to get more! 

The  more you give

The person who ran the even used to run a non-profit offering assistance to single moms. She told me she gave up the thoughts of concern for what she would need to live on – just allowed and embraced knowing she and her daughter would be taken care of – and she was. Give more and you will get more. 

more-than-you-already-have-giving-back-picture-quote

On the way home I’m listening to another CD and it’s about social media. An interview with Gary Vaynerchuk and his book “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook” which is all about give, give, give, ask.  Give more to get more! 

GIVE-MORE-T-SHIRT

My intent for going to this network marketing event was to connect with someone I could offer my personal assistance to; allowing me to use my creativity and be helpful at the same time – my 2 Personal Pivotal Needs. Give more to get more.

Jimmy’s White Noise – DoWoo #38/365

It is 8:08 on the 8th of October and I am writing about Jimmy – our lucky cricket.  If you’ve been following my DoWoos – we introduced James T Cricket for my 23rd post. Unfortunately he joined our family for only a short period of time. However, after we put James T into the garden we were introduced to another cricket.  Greg named him Jimmy to differentiate. 

Jiminy-Cricket-4Jimmy has been with us for a week now and the most interesting difference is he not only chirps all night long – he chirps all day long too (even when the light shines into the room he is in.  He continues to chirp when we say good morning, put food into his jar, add watered q-tips and even when we move the jar to a different room.  AMAZING! 

white_noise_1_by_falln_stock (1)It has become so consistent it is (almost) like white noise.  I’ve caught myself a few times to listen for him to make sure he is OK.  What I found was that he was still chirping but I was not hearing him.  

Have you ever had a cricket outside your window on a hot summer’s night?  Crickets are not quiet!  So…how could this be? 

How much of what we hear every day has become white noise to us?  What information is reaching our cognitive abilities without us even being aware?  This makes me take pause and reassess my environment.   I wonder…what is your Jimmy White Noise?

Power to Create – DoWoo #37/365

SnoopyHappyDanceHappy dance of Joy. I am 1/10th of my way to 365 consecutive days of DoWoo-ing.  It’s interesting…everyone once and a while I’ll start to have a thought….‘Wow! I never could have imagined doing this!” Then I immediately stop myself and say “Aha! Now THAT is an opinion!” 

I DID imagine doing this! I decided just over a month ago to change how I allowed my thoughts to relay information as being my reality.  I took everything we learned in the Master Key class, everything I’ve learned by reading Haanel, Og, Deepak, Wayne…(so many others) and embraced, truly embraced, that I have the power within me to create anything I chose to create.

If I imagine it, it is my reality.

Because by just imaging it, it becomes a possibility.

And because it is a possibility, it is a probability.  

And since it is a probability, it is my reality.

Serafina – DoWoo #36/365

Did not get to spend as much time as usual with my son this evening.  Luckily he was still slightly awake when I went into kiss him goodnight. 

He said “Mommy, Daddy asked me to remind him every day by asking him about Serafina.” Serafina is the name of our daughter, whispered to me during one of my contemplative sits by our source.  She is part our future reality we live and embrace now.  Interesting that Walter thought to ask our 9 year old to remind him daily of our dream.  Greg is VERY good at keeping us on track for whatever we ask of him.  

I asked: “Daddy spelled your sister’s name with a PH and I spelled it with an F. What do you think?” And in the wisdom indicative to children he replied “An F. It’s simpler.”

Their Dreams – DoWoo #32/365

Universe_in_handI observed.  We are honoured to work on helping others with their dreams. How blessed we are to be entrusted; when someone is willing to share their ambitions, their hopes, their desires.  I imagine that our source must feel exuberance beyond anything WE can conceive. Our source holds all our dreams in their vision. 

The juggling and multi-tasking that must go on at that higher level to listen, truly listen to all of us.  To what we desire, what we hope for, where we aspire to be.  And as long as our source deems it does not take away anyone’s good, we are granted the path to our dream. 

We need to be clear, concise and heartfelt.  Then we must be patient and open to the path given to us.  The path may not always be clear, and most likely nothing like we imagine it, but our source has computed all the possible permutations and showed us the path most beneficial to all for our dream to come to fruition.  Are you listening? Are you watching?  The path is right there in front of you. Get in your vehicle (actual & metaphorically) and hit the road.

I am born today – DoWoo #28/365

begin-again-buddah1Today was the anniversary of my birth – but in truth I believe I am born today.  

I felt a shift start yesterday; At some point during my full day of DoWoos I paused to consider what I was doing and why was I doing it and whether I was doing it fully.  

I started thinking further: Whom must I become in order to be who I want to be?  First I must decide what attributes the person I want to be has.  Then I must break down how I am to hone those attributes to be, at minimum, consciously competence with each. 

It’s amazing what results from pausing to take stock with whom you are “being” and whether it is in line with the person you intend to be. 

Blue-Print-Thumbs-Up-300x300Today was also the first day of the 2014/2014 Master Key Mastermind Alliance for which Walter and I are Certified Guides. The newest group of students who have embarked on this experience were provided with the Blue Print Builder to include within their daily repertoire of reading material.  

I repeat: I am born today! 

my version (altered slightly for tense and perspective):

I know I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Major Purpose in live, therefore I demand of myself persistent, continuous action towards its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action. 

I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind DO reproduce themselves in outward physical action and transform themselves into physical reality; therefore I concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily upon the task of thinking of the person I have become, thereby creating a clear mental picture of myself as that person. 

I know through the principle of auto suggestion ANY desire that I consistently hold in my mind seeks expression through a practical means of obtaining the object back of it, therefore I devote ten minutes daily to demand of myself the continued development of SELF CONFIDENCE. 

I clearly wrote down a description of my Definite Major Purpose in life and continue to persevere till I develop sufficient self confidence for its attainment. 

I fully realize that wealth and position can only endure when built upon truth and justice, therefore I only engage in transactions which benefit all parties affected.  I succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use and the cooperation of other people. I induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others.  I eliminated hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness and cynicism and developed love for all humanity because I know only a positive attitude towards others can bring me success.  I cause others to believe in me, because I believe in them AND in myself.

2014-09-28 07.43.05I sign my name to this formula and have committed it to memory so I am able to repeat it out loud with FULL FAITH that it has and continues to influence my thoughts and actions, so that I am a self reliant, self confident and successful person.

Thank you!  Carolynn Sokil

3s & 8s – DoWoo #25/365

Did a lot of number crunching today – both for the Master Key class which starts on Sunday and my consulting work. Looking at all those numbers, I tend to recognize whenever I see patterns. It’s not often but occasionally I do see a pattern with 3 of one number and 2 of another.

guided-meditation-300x246I have a philosophy which has served me well.  I allow everything with a grain of salt. Because of this, when a friend of mine shared a book about numbers and angels, whenever I see a combination with a minimum of 2 of one number and 3 of another, I always look up Doreen Virtue’s Number Sequence From The Angels. It’s almost like getting a coded message whenever the universe wants to show you…and you are paying attention.

So…the point.  I saw a combination of 3s and 8s.  3’s and 8’s, such as 338 or 383 – “Keep going,” the masters say to you. Boost the energy and focus of your thoughts and feelings. Realign your outlook with the knowledge of your oneness with God, everyone, and all life.

Here I am concentrating on being a better more aligned version of myself – allowing my pure potential to shine and in the process of recording my journey…possibly help others.  I am blessed to be learning all that I am learning at this time.  May I continue to be blessed to continuously understand it and be able to share it with others to enrich all our lives.

I Do Woo:  Do You?

Family – DoWoo #20/365

The message abounds within my life right now – FAMILY! 

I am seeing what I am meant to observe – truly observe.  Witnessing family members adjusting in order to care for a parent.  Seeing the enormous strength which my husband is within.  My son asking what is better: a loving life or a rich life?  Request for us to spend even more “family time” together.  I observe that all of this is to remind me that as hard as we work, as hard as we strive and dream and persist towards our dreams – nothing matters if we don’t have our family.

I sent a picture to a friend of ours today (below) with the intent to share in the vast differences our countries offer (she lives on an island).  I’ve been here: stunning representation of that spot!

1085 (1)Her reply made me take pause.  “That’s Gorgeous. I would trade you if my family was there.”

What phenomenal sentiment. To appreciate and yet know you would remain, or move, as long as your family was there.  

In answer to Gregory’s question – “A rich life is a life filled with love.”  What do you think?

Texas Chili – DoWoo #19/365

web_chili_2One of the things I just love about our son Greg is his ability to put a positive spin on just about anything.  Walter gave him left over chili to take to school – heated up in a thermos with sour cream on the side to add at lunch time. He loves this especially when he can add cheese. 

When we unpacked his lunch box there was still chili remaining in the container….strange. When asked about why he did not finish, Greg replied: 

I loved the chili so much I ate it slowly, but then I didn’t have enough time to finish it.”

Be Happy! – DoWoo #17/365

Today’s Inspirational Quote – George F. Burns:

“If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.”

I observe that happiness truly is a choice.  We get up in the morning and we have complete control over how we perceive ourselves and our place in the world; how we look at the day and it’s place in the whole scheme of our life.  I cannot imagine meeting my maker and saying “I wish I worried more.” or “I wish I’d had more stress in my life.”  Can you? 

Today I had to realign my thoughts (again).  The good news is….I realigned my thoughts!
