“If we all did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.” Thomas Edison
I have been observing lately that there are two types of people Possibility thinkers and Non-Possibility thinkers. I can typically tell in a matter of minutes what “camp” a person is rooted in. Then there are two kinds of possibility thinkers—one kind is the one that sees possibilities and then takes action to bring these possibilities into reality. The other kind just explores possibilities but never takes the risks to actually pursue the possibility. Which one do you think you are?
Here are some examples of Possibility Thinkers that I have encountered:
- One woman who is 62 years old who was talking to me about taking one of my upper level programs to help manifest her big Vision she said “You know Shelley I am going to be around a LONG time and I will always continue to grow”. Very inspiring. She reminded me of my Breathwork teacher who in her early 60’s said of the work that she was doing in the world “I am just getting started!”
- A friend of mine who years ago was given a 5% chance to live because she had a very advanced stage of cancer. She was a determined possibility thinker and today—9 years later she is healthy, vibrant woman who is considered not only in remission but “cured”.
- I was in the Phoenix, AZ airport and saw a picture of one of the oldest graduates for her undergraduate degree and she was 94 years old! So anytime a client says they are too “old” to do something in their life I give that as an example—stops them in their tracks every timeJ
- A friend of mine who had a baby at the age of 42 years old and then her second baby at 46 years old and is traveling around the world with her husband and their two children. She had come to Green Bay, WI for a book tour for her book and brought her youngest child who was a few month old baby at that time! Wow! By the way she had set her intention at the start of the year to write a book AND have a baby.
- All of my clients who have quit their “secure” jobs and have followed their passions and have a blast and say to me “If I would have known it would be this amazing I would have done it sooner!”
So are you a possibility thinker or not? Here are some questions to help you determine this:
- When someone brings up a new idea I like to explore how the idea might work OR when I come up with an idea I think of all the ways the idea could work_____
- When I think of things that I would like to do in my life I think of all the reasons why I can’t_____
- I have fun things planned in the future that I am excited about and looking forward to_______
- There have been things I have been thinking of doing for years and I have not taken action on them yet_______
- I love growing and learning about new things_______
- I talk about how many things are going wrong in the world and how things are getting worse____
- I surround myself by other possibility thinkers and we inspire each other_______
- My friends are just as stuck as I am and we talk about all the negative things that are going on in our lives______
If you checked off 1, 3, 5 and 7 you are a possibility thinker. If you checked off 2, 4, 6 or 8 then take a look at how you are unnecessarily holding yourself back in your life. Shift your thinking to Possibility thinking you can change the course of your life TODAY.
Let me know below what new possibilities you will be stepping into

“Doing what you Love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.” Wayne Dyer
When I work with people to connect with their Authentic Self and align with their Life Purpose–their lives get better and better.
A big challenge can be letting all of this good in and getting comfortable with it. A recent example of this was client of mine, Karen, (not her real name.)
Karen had connected deeply with her Authentic Self and got clarity about her Life Purpose. She took the courageous steps to align with and follow her Life Purpose.
She was so surprised to find the more she followed her true purpose–the better things got in every area of her life–including her finances. She was able to do what she loved and was making three times what used to make at a job she hated!
She was flying high until she attended a recent party of one of her friends. One person after another complained about the economy or how much stress they had at a job they didn’t even like.
Karen began to feel guilty for all of the joy and abundance she was experiencing. She said “I felt ashamed–like I was bad for having it so good–who am I to have all of this when others are struggling so much?”
I explained to her that what she was experiencing was what EVERYONE is meant to be experiencing–a connection with their true self, loving connections with others and work that they love–including amazing abundance.
I shared it was her own commitment and investment in her own growth that had paved the way for what she was experiencing. “Karen, every person at that party can experience what you are—it is up to them to love themselves enough to invest their time, energy and money in their growth—like you did” I said to her.
Karen nodded her head as she listened to me. “But what about the money—I can’t believe I am earning so much money for doing what I love—it seems like it is too good to be true!” she questioned.
“Again, Karen, this is how it is meant to be for everyone. Abundance flows to us when we are aligned with our True Life Purpose. The other people at the party are struggling so much because they aren’t aligning with their true path. They are instead chasing security—but true security and abundance comes from doing what you love and what you are meant to be doing on the planet. That is what you are experiencing now.”
Karen said “When you explain it that way—it makes so much sense. I feel so joyful and happy—I want everyone to be experiencing what I am!”
“And Karen, everyone can experience what you are experiencing but it is up to them to make the choice to invest the time and energy to explore just what their true path is—and then take the steps to align with it. Then their life is not ‘too good to be true’ but what their life was meant to be like all along— incredibly joyful and abundant.”
Please post below how this article inspires you to align with your Life Purpose! I would love to hear from you:) Shelley

Life Breakthrough Transformational Workshop
Announcing the “Life Breakthrough Transformational Workshop” that will be held Sept. 16-18, 2011 in Door County Wisconsin.
What is keeping you up at night in your life? Is it your relationships, m.oney issues, career issues or health issues? Or is it just a general feeling of being confused, empty, alone and unfulfilled but you just can’t put your finger on why–much less how to have this be different?
You are not alone. These struggles are almost epidemic right now and here is the secret why. Watch my video at: http://www.lifebreakthroughworkshop.com
You are in a transformational process right now. The challenge many people are having right now is this transformational process is happening SO fast that they literally can’t keep up.
You see your Spirit wants to move faster than your Conditioned Self (your Ego) wants to move and that is why you are feeling stuck. What is going to change this?
You need help to release the deep blocks that are keeping you stuck in the fears of your Conditioned Self–the blocks that will keep you stuck literally for years. You also need support to connect more deeply with your Spirit so you can trust it to help you move forward into Joy in your life.
To learn more, visit:
http://www.lifebreakthroughworkshop.com

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took blossom.” Anais Nin
1. You need to commit to your Breakthrough—You need to want it more than anything else. One of the reasons my clients experience so much success is they are really committed to themselves—they prioritize their personal growth at the top of their list—devoting plenty of time, energy, money and focus to their inner growth—because they know it is going to positively affect every area of their life.
They are willing to travel across the country to go to a Workshop and to take big risks to change ingrained patterns. The clients I have seen who have the most success are the ones putting all of their energy into their healing. Honestly ask yourself—am I willing to put my personal growth as the highest priority in my life right now?. If the answer is yes—you will certainly have your breakthrough—if you say no then you are committing to what you are currently experiencing in your life.
2. You may Struggle with Committing to your Breakthrough because of Fear. It means you have been giving the voice of fear validity—you have been listening to it, believing it, and then staying stuck because of it. If you deeply want to change and you would like the tools to do this—trust that what you need is probably right in front of you right now—but it will involve taking a risk of some kind.
Stepping out of your comfort zone by doing something new, learning new skills, exploring blocks on the inner level deeply, investing your time and energy into it. So if you are stuck—it means you are not willing to do what is in front of you. Ask yourself—-what opportunity is in front of me that I am ignoring? How do I have my blinders on to my next step?. It is important to bring this fear to the light of day—otherwise you will stay stuck for years.
3. Get Clear about why you want your Breakthrough. What would that do in your life—write this out in detail. Here is an example: “ If I had a breakthrough in my life with my anxiety meaning my anxiety went away—what would this allow me to do?” Your life would be better—how so—write this out in detail. Painting a picture of what life will be like will help motivate you—or if you never felt depression again—what would that do for you? Write this out in detail.
4. To make a Breakthrough—you must release the Past-–Old beliefs, past experiences, old emotions—all need to be released to step into that higher level that is on the other side of your Breakthrough.
5. To make Your Breakthrough—you need Support. Write out who in your life would be supportive of a Breakthrough in your Life—and who would not. You might know this very easily or you may need to think about it. Ask yourself—who would be supportive if I was happy, joyful and my life was amazing on all levels?
Once you get this list you will have a clear picture of your current level of support right now. If you don’t have a lot of support it is important to get it. This will make such a huge difference for you. I will say to clients you are stuck because you aren’t getting enough positive support. That is why I like people to attend my workshops because you get the feeling of full on support at a very deep level.
6. To make Breakthrough===you need to Connect fully with your Spirit and your Spiritual Connection. Alll profound healing is spiritual healing. Oftentimes the protective behaviors that keep us stuck are because we are operating from our Conditioned Self that wants to control things to keep us safe—rather than opening up to the faith and trust of our own Spirit and Spiritual Connection (whatever this is for you.)
7. To make a Breakthrough—utilize methods that get you out of your head and into your Body. Your Spirit is in your Body.—and you need to connect deeply with your body—to connect with your Spirit. If you do not do this—change will not happen. Methods that do this are Breathwork, Inner Bonding, Yoga, Dancing.
The reason for this is that the energy blocks created by our stuck patterns oftentimes cannot be released except through the release of blocked emotions and energy. Talking is not enough to do this—the release has to be deeper to move this oftentimes very deep energy.
8. To make a Breakthrough your must commit to Loving Yourself. You need to fall in love with yourself—your Unique Spirit. This is the core of any sustained Breakthrough. That is why I work so deeply with clients on this Core of Self Love—because without it—change will only be fleeting and superficial. Self-Love will both help you step into your Breakthrough—as well as sustain it at a deep level—so it becomes a permanent change for you.
Which one of these Breakthrough Steps will you do first? Please post your comment below!
Want more support for your Breakthrough? I am leading a NEW 3-Day Life Breakthrough Transformational Workshop on Sept. 16-18. For all the exciting details go to Life Breakthrough Transformational Workshop.

Why You Are Stuck
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman
Do you feel stuck in your life? Do you feel there is something more for you in your life but you don’t know what that is? Or you know what it is but you don’t know how you are going to get there? The “feeling stuck “feeling is an important feeling to pay attention to. It is a signal that something needs to change in your life—but the change first needs to begin on the inner level. You see we are all meant to live magnificent lives filled with joy and purpose—we are actually hard wired for this. The stuck feeling is giving you a signal that you are out of alignment with your true self—your Authentic self.
Your Authentic self is the truest you—the you that you intended to be when you came here. Your Authentic self is already filled with Joy and knows it’s purpose on the planet—this is already within you—it is not contained outside of you—where many people get sidetracked looking.
So many of the clients I work with feel a sense incredible untapped potential within them that is just not being expressed. They feel the frustration of this knowingness– coupled with confusion they feel about how to tap into this energy and express it more meaningfully in their lives. The most powerful thing that I share with them that begins to transform their lives immediately is beginning to distinguish the voice of their conditioned self (all the fears, false beliefs and patterns they have been taught) from the voice of their Authentic Self.
Many listen to the voice of their Conditioned Self and allow this voice to dictate their decisions in life. Listening to this voice will lead to confusion, lack of confidence, unwillingness to take risks, despair, anxiety and even anger. This voice will keep you stuck in old patterns and situations that aren’t good for you for YEARS. The Joy that is inside of you will not be able to be felt or expressed with this Voice running the show.
To start to get you to distinguish this voice from your Authentic Voice—here are some examples:
1. Conditioned Self Voice-“You better stay right where you are right now, it’s safe, secure and the money is good—don’t rock the boat. The economy is bad and you should be lucky you even have a job.”
Authentic Self Voice-“I’m so excited to find my life purpose! I know there is something special I am meant to do—I can just feel it and I can’t wait to figure it out. I am going to sign up for the Life Purpose Mentoring Program so I can start moving forward as soon as possible. I am so excited—what an adventure this will be!”
2. Conditioned Self Voice-“I probably don’t have a Life Purpose—life is just meant to be how it is now—not awful—but not really great either. I think I want too much in my life.”
Authentic Self Voice- “I know life can be better—I can feel it inside of me. I have made positive changes in my life and I can do it again. I am willing to take the risks to be all that I came here to be and I know I will be supported as I step out in faith”
3. Conditioned Self Voice-“I could never make money at my Life Purpose –that is just a pie in the sky dream there are only a few lucky people who get to do this. I better just stay realistic and resign myself to what I am doing now—it’s not so bad
Authentic Self Voice-“I know I can make money at my Life Purpose. I might need to learn some new things and grow in different ways—but I am willing to do it because I LOVE what I am doing. And remember the phrase “Do What You Love and the Money will Follow” I will remember this as I move forward. I am so excited—it is going to be even better than I imagine!
4. Conditioned Self Voice-“I don’t think we are supposed to be happy. I see everyone around me and they are just as unhappy as me—that is just life.
Authentic Self Voice-“Happiness is meant for me and everyone else and I am going to open up fully to my happiness and live fully now. No more waiting on the sidelines—I am going to make choices that support what brings me happiness–NOW. I will be a role model for others to move into their happiness too—won’t that be fun!
5. Conditioned Self Voice- “I can’t do that because……….I”m too old, too young, don’t have the money, don’t have the time, I will fail, I will succeed, I don’t deserve it, it’s too late, I don’t know what will happen, I will regret it, I’m scared, I will do it later…….
Authentic Self Voice-“I CAN do it because………I have what it takes, I deserve to be happy, I say so, it is my time to really live, now is the time, I’m not going to hold back anymore, It will be a success no matter what happens, I will be supported by the Universe every step of the way.
See how different you feel reading each of these statements? Feel the heaviness and constriction of the Conditioned Self and on the other hand the lightness, joy and expansiveness of the Authentic Self.
Use these examples to track the voices inside of you—practice labeling the voice of the Conditioned Self and begin to NOT listen to it. Instead– Listen to that soft, subtle, joyful, hopeful, light voice of the Authentic Self inside of you—it will lead you on a path of more Joy, Love, Peace, Lightness and sweet Adventure—the kind of life you were meant to live!

“An Inspired Life Can’t be Planned”
“I love to laugh, it keeps my soul alive.” ~ Mark, River Falls, WI
We are Spirits housed in human bodies. There are things that fuel our bodies and things that fuel our Spirit. If you neglect feeding your Spirit –you will feel drained and like you are a robot going through life. Being inspired is a powerful way of nourishing and uplifting your Spirit. What inspires you? How often are you around the things and people that inspire you? Just reflecting on what inspires you and making sure you are surrounding yourself with these things will lift your Spirit and energize you.
Tips To Get Yourself Inspired
1. Who are the people in your life that inspire you? What about them inspires you? This is a quality that you value and more than likely possess yourself but maybe you aren’t expressing in your life. Use this to open up more to this quality in your own life. Make sure the people you have in your life inspire you.
2. What music inspires you? What about the music uplifts you—is it the voice of the singer—the words–the rhythm? Do you like music that you can dance to or music that is calm and soothing.
3. What things visually inspire you? Is it certain things in nature—the ocean, mountains, trees? Is it certain colors? Is is certain architecture of buildings?
4. Which restaurants inspire you? What food do you love? What decor do you find appealing? Do you make sure to go to restaurants that inspire you. I love going to Cafe’ Mario’s because I love how they have decorated it, the music they play (Andrea Bocelli–my favorite:), the smells of the food, the laughter and connection that happens there.
5. What books do you find inspirational? What words uplift you? What authors inspire you?
6. What creative activity inspires you? Dancing, painting, playing music, singing, making jewelry.
7. Do you inspire yourself? Are you daring to live your dreams, express your creativity–living with passion? Are you committed to a vibrant, inspired life? Like the quote above–an inspired life can’t be planned. Are you willing to let go and allow yourself to be inspired—and more importantly to act on these inspirational impulses?
8. What geographic areas inspire you? Does your Spirit lift just thinking about Italy, Hawaii, Alaska or the California coast? Make a plan to travel to the areas that inspire you. There is a reason you are drawn to that area—it is a place that will feed your soul. If you can’t travel there just yet, put up pictures of that area that you can see every day.
9. What movies inspire you? Look for movies that inspire you—don’t settle for anything less than that .
For those of you who have read the “What Do You Really Want Workbook”, I mentioned one of my favorite inspirational movies, “Miss Potter”, about the amazing life of Beatrice Potter (the artist who created Peter Rabbit).
10. Talk to your friends and family about what inspires them—you will deepen your connection with them from having this discussion. Ask them “What inspires you?”
11. Surround yourself with things that inspire you. When you look around your home—are you inspired? Put up pictures that uplift you–buy art work that inspires you. Buy flowers that you love.
Open up to feeding your Spirit with all the the things that inspire you—and watch your energy level soar and your life expand into grand new possibilities!
I would love to hear what Inspires YOU. Please share this below (in the comments section).

What I have noticed in working with clients over the years is that many people have difficulty holding their own in a relationship. What I mean by this is taking 100 % responsibility for their happiness and holding true to the highest vision for their life and relationships. People can have sense when their partner is on a different path and maybe doesn’t have the same type of dedication to growth that they have. In response to this–they may do a variety of things to deal with this. The most common thing can be to start holding themselves back from their own growth. They sense that if they keep growing that they will “grow” out of the relationship. So they make a decision that they are willing to hold themselves back, rather than lose the relationship. They ended up bringing themselves down.
When I work with a client who is doing this–I have them look at the consequence of doing this. Typically they start to struggle with depression and or anxiety. It takes a lot to hold their own energy back–and typically they will start to feel very drained from this. The origin of doing this can come from their childhood. In order to get their parents’ approval they had to be more of who their parents wanted them to be–rather than who they truly are. They actually are used to holding themselves back in a relationship because they started doing this at a young age. The belief underlying this pattern is “I can’t be all that I came here to be and be loved too–I have to hold myself back to keep my relationships.”
I encourage them to love themselves for who they truly are—and commit to allowing themselves to be all that they came here to be. They will not really know the truth of their relationship until they do this. I have seen the other partner in this kind of relationship “rise up” and start to grow as well when their partner holds their ground in their own growth. They will never know if this is a possibility until they do this. If they do embrace themselves fully and not hold themselves back—move forward in their lives—and their partner continues to stay stuck for a period of time–they will know that they did everything they could to give the relationship a chance. They can walk away with peace—opening up to a healthier connection with someone with a similar commitment to growth.

When we have dreams there is a waiting period between having the dream in our mind and it coming into physical form. For some dreams this waiting period is very short—we have the dream and soon after the dream comes to pass. For many dreams there is some longer waiting period—a gestational period where we are preparing on the inner level to receive the dream and things are being prepared on the unseen level to manifest this dream as well. Also during this gestational period we may be taking physical actions to move us towards the dream.
What do you do during this waiting period? Do you stay positive and expectant this dream will manifest—or do you move into worry and fear? What we do during this waiting period is important. We can cause needless suffering if we move into worry and fear. To help yourself not move into worry and fear–it is important to embrace a feeling of faith and trust. Faith is having trust that the dream in your head will manifest in the physical world. It is having trust in the unseen process of manifestation that is taking place during this waiting period. Look for signs that you are on track. You may meet someone who has already manifested the dream you are wanting—this is a way that you are being shown that this dream is possible. Use this as reassurance that it will happen for you too. Don’t use it in a negative way where you say “That happened for them—it will never happen for me”. You may also get signs in a real literal way. This just happened to me yesterday. I had a few moments of doubt about a dream that I am manifesting and just as I thought those thoughts I saw a sign for a store called “Dreams Come True”. Now I have driven on this road 100′s of times and I had never seen this sign for this store before until yesterday! This has happened to me before during times I really needed the support—and it is so reassuring and magical.
If you are in a waiting period for your dream stay in a state of faith and trust. Look for signs and markers along the way that signal that you are on track–you just need to be patient. I would love to hear of some of the signs you have had as you moved towards your dream.

Practicing letting go of the outcome can be one of the most powerful things you can do to bring more lightness and peace into your life. When we try to to control the outcome of things it takes so much energy and it ends up stopping the natural flow of things. The core issue why people don’t let go of the outcome is that they don’t trust that the Universe is truly on their side—and not working against them–but for them. What if you really got that there is an incredible amount of support around you each and every moment—wanting you to succeed and flourish? The very thing you want—the Universe wants this for you as well and is supporting this unfolding. By letting go and trusting that what will unfold will be better than anything you could have imagined or tried to force into place.
Set your intention for what you want–take action on what feels right to do—and then let go and trust the unfolding of the manifestation of your dreams.

I am a member of a networking group and it has been interesting to watch the different members reactions to what is happening in the economy. Some of the members who are in the same industry are having different reactions—thus are having different results. Some people are attributing the slowness in their business to what they hear in the media–that we are going into a recession and people just “aren’t buying”. Then other people in the same industry make no mention of a slow down in the economy and are busier than ever. One guy has been so busy he hasn’t been able to attend out meetings! I went up to him after the last meeting and we talked about this—he said “I don’t focus on what is being said–I just kicked it into high gear and pursued these projects and things are going great–I am busier than ever!”
I have noticed too with my newer clients–many of them are mentioning the economy and their fears about how this will affect them. The clients I have been seeing for awhile—make no mention of this at all. They keep their focus on the positive–take action in their lives to move their business and lives in a positive direction. The phrase “What you think about expands” is a factor here. The clients I have worked with for awhile learn that their own thoughts and actions lead to the results in their lives. If someone is in fear and believes that external circumstances determine what is going to happen in their lives—their results will reflect this. They will not take action and be immobilized—they will then create the very think they fear. Going to my example above—the people that felt the economy was slowing down and “people weren’t buying”—stopped marketing their business because they felt “they won’t buy anyway”. The person with the booming business didn’t stop pursuing business and started marketing even more–that is where he channeled his energy–his results were dramatically different.
Notice in your life how you are creating your own reality by the thoughts you hold—whether positive or negative—then these thoughts impact the kind of action you do or do not take.
