The Universe Spoke This Week

by Unstoppable Coach Frankie Picasso

It’s all about your Intention.

Have you ever noticed that when the Universe wants you to know something it can be relentless in its approach? Well this week there was no doubt what the Universe had to say to me.

Like most folks, I have been looking for ways to increase my income as the rising costs of gas and food go up dramatically. I also have to admit, that I have been ‘giving’ away so much of my time and expertise lately that I seem to have become a FREE service.
In my desire to help others, I either coach them in the moment as a friend or send them on to colleagues, who end up with their business.

Now I know it’s my nature to help those in spiritual, emotional and physical pain and here in lies the oxymoron. I don’t help people because I want money for it, I help them because that is who I am. Helping people, however, is WHAT I DO for a living. There in lies the crux of my dilemma.

More...

What is my intention?

Well the Law of Attraction would ask me: “What are your feelings about helping people in need?” Should you charge them money? Well guess what???? You got it. I don’t like the idea of charging people in pain, so I guess that’s why I do it for free!!!

Well, lately I have been thinking about reinvention. I feel like I need/want to do MORE, be MORE instrumental in helping to change the World. I have been tearing at my hair trying to find clarity on how to best serve this purpose and make a living at it.

Now we all know that Money is one of the more popular forms of validation that we use on this planet. It is a valid exchange of energy and as a currency, we all need some so that we can eat and pay our mortgages and so on. So why then has the Universe seen fit to send me the following message 3 times this week, “If you worry about the money, or chase the money, then it won’t come to you, but if you do things from your heart, you won’t need to worry, all your needs will be met, etc…“

Hmmm… this came up during a recent conversation with a woman who I had been directed to meet by a mutual friend; a virtual stranger whose words jumped out at me, since they weren’t the first time I had heard them this week. As we were speaking about our careers, the subject of money came up during our conversation and she said to me “don’t chase the money or it won’t come”. I thought wow, ok, where have I heard that before?

Then I received a numerology report the other night. I usually scan these quickly and delete them but something caught my attention and again jumped out at me, right off the page. It said “As a number 6 destiny, you are a natural healer and will help thousands of people, but don’t let your ego get in your way. Don’t chase the money, all your needs will be met.” Wow, almost verbatim to the second message. What is going on here?

I thought to myself: “That’s all well and good, but I would like to be validated too and get some of the money for the hours I put in. What about the ‘Money’ that my colleagues are getting from my referrals?” This sounds selfish doesn’t it? I agree. As we allow ourselves to become more conscious, there will be times when we backslide and allow our ego to have a say, but that’s ok. We don’t have to stay with those thoughts. That is not the person I want to be, jealous of my friends, or someone who is only out there for money.

That really has NEVER been who I was, and I am still not sure where they came from, but just writing them down and dissecting them has diluted them. I am a healer, I do help lots of people and I do it because I sincerely want to help them. I do it because I can and I do it because that is who I am. I can CHOOSE who it is I want to be and who I don’t want to be.

As I contemplated the message from the Universe, my mind went back to an interview I did with Bill Sweet on Quantum Radio. He is the author of A Journey into Prayer, and the former Director of Spindrift, a scientific research company that was pioneering how Prayer works. Bill explained that by using plants in their laboratory, they were visually able to see the direct results of prayer. They found that when they sent out selfless prayers of ‘love’ and healing to dying plants, the plants would have dramatic responses and recovery, or what some might term “a miracle took place,” and the starving, dead plants would come back to life healthy and green. Conversely they found that prayers that were self directed where the person was asking for things for themselves, well these prayers had little effect.

So the lesson then today is all about Intention. If you give of yourself with love, then this love will be reflected back to you in so many ways. Don’t forget to be grateful to the Universe for all your blessings. It may be the missing ‘link’ that makes the LOA work for you.

Flips With Music

by Unstoppable Coach Frankie Picasso

Do you remember the Song that NEVER ENDS by Shari Lewis and Lambchop? Just in case you forgot the words, they go like this…smile

“This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just becauses, this is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because,” and so on and so on and so on , ad nauseum….

Well my dear friend Dvorahji has the SHUT UP song on her website, which compliments her book Shut UP- An Ancient Mantra for Happiness. I would advise you to be careful though…It should come with a warning. TAKE CARE WHILE VISITING THIS SITE..
The SHUT UP SONG, will stick in your head like a moth to a flame. You won’t be able to control yourself. You will find yourself singing it all day, in the grocery store, in the bathroom, you get the idea. I am poking fun but there’s truth in them der words. Even Dvorah admits its STUCK in her head too..lol. It’s a great little ditty that starts off like this: “Love is an Ancient Mantra, Love is a Joy of tantras, love is the answer for all time.” You can listen to it by going to www.dvorahji.com

So why am I writing about songs today? Well it came to me that not only do songs affect our emotions but most of us have songs to compliment them as well.

When you are feeling blue or depressed, do you put on happy music or do you find something slow, painful and depressing to compliment your mood? Who wants to listen to people being happy when you are ready for a pity party, and visa versa. Who wants slow depressing music when you are ready to PARTY and dance the night away?

We already know that the Law of Attraction checks for our vibrations, which is another word for our feelings. We can only hold one vibration at a time. It is either positive or negative, so when we are trying to attract something the best insurance is to keep our vibration high or positive. If you don’t know what that feels like, then think about what it feels like to be in love with the world, be so happy that you want to dance the night away.
This is the place you want to manifest from. HAPPY!!!

I would like to invite you try the strategy of FLIP SWITCHING- this is going from a bad mood to a better mood by employing a thought or feeling that is better than the one you have right now. I believe that music has the power to help us make this transition wonderfully easy.

Keep some tunes nearby you that you know will lift your mood from morose to just depressed. Abraham will say that no one jumps from the bottom of the emotional scale to the top. We don’t expect you to go from angry to happy but you can go up a few levels and even those levels will make a difference in what you are attracting to yourself in those moments.

Negative energy attracts more negative energy. Anyone who has ever got out of bed on the wrong side can attest to this. You wake up, stub your toe. Then when you go to shower, there’s no hot water left. You go downstairs for coffee, and guess what? No milk left.. and so on and so on and so on.

How can you stop your day from getting worse? FLIP SWITCH. Change your mood by changing your CD? Hey it’s a thought. Put on some Music that will make your joints start to move. For me, I can’t help myself when some good ole R & B or Funk comes on. It automatically shifts my mood to “feel’n good.”

Now why did I start off by talking about the Song that Never Ends or the Shut up Song? These are simple ditties that you can use for yourself to keep your goals, dreams and desires up front and in focus. Take either of those songs, use their catchy melodies and replace the words with your own. Make your own Mantra that you sing all the time to help the Law of Attraction work for you.

Whether you want a new job, a new relationship or a new car, keeping your mood high and your thoughts on your goal will help you attract what you want faster and easier than you thought possible. Oh and make sure the words you use are as if you already have what you want. Be grateful. It’s the cherry on the top of the LOA Sundae.

Maybe you chose a Cadillac Escallade “ I love my new Cadillac Escallade.. it’s big and green and fun, I got it for a great price that I could afford, it keeps my family safe when everyone’s on board, it was the one for my highest good, and I thank the Universe for doing good, it keep us comfy in summer and winter too, it’s the greatest car I own and I want one for you too”

You get the idea. The more descriptive you get, the more emotion you put into it and the more you focus on it by singing about it, should keep your mood Light and Breezy. So when the Universe comes checking on you, it finds you in a big positive mood.

Keep singing…the Unstoppable Coach Frankie Picasso

Why Are You Still Choosing Failure?

by Unstoppable Coach Frankie Picasso

Why do you always think in terms of failure? Is it so much easier to think that you can’t do things rather than you can? Have you noticed this about yourself? How about in the lives of others around you?

I am not sure why we so easily default to failure instead of success but it seems to be so.

We look to the future with a modicum of Hope in our heart, hoping, wishing and dreaming into a far off never ever someday land, but not truly believing that we could breathe life into those wishes and dreams, right now, Today!!!

Do you think it would take a miracle for something incredible and amazing to happen to you?

WAKE UP..something amazing and incredible ALREADY happened to you. You are ALIVE and breathing and experiencing an incredible moment on earth. Just because you can’t remember choosing this experience doesn’t mean you can’t use your innate intelligence to choose HOW you wish to live your life the rest of your life from on. That’s right, from this moment on you are in charge of the wonderful things in your life, just as you are in charge of the not so wonderful things in our lives. The word is called Responsibility, and once you latch on to it and use it, your life will change in way you never dreamed possible.

To quote the infamous Dr. Suess said before me,

You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself

any direction you choose.

* Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

It’s all well and good to hope for great things to come, to use the Law of Attraction to manifest lovely cars and houses, but NOTHING happens without ACTION. Nothing happens without your active participation. You and you alone are responsible for what happens to you. It’s your choice and always has been.

Have you been watching your thoughts lately? Well you might want to start. OR, You could look at what is in your life right now, from job, friends, family, situations, and KNOW what your thoughts have been.

You brought this into your life. You attracted it all. You see, you are very powerful and you can make all of your dreams a reality, with just a little help from yourself.

Frankie’s Unstoppable Moment

Your thoughts are very powerful, more powerful than you can imagine. They are the key to your happiness. Not just success or failure but literally your happiness.

If your thoughts were to become things, (think carefully before answering), would you really want to bring to life the thoughts that rattle around in your head?

When was the last time you monitored and examined your thoughts? Really heard what you say to yourself, about yourself and others?

More...

Just like on a daily newspaper, every story that runs through your paper ( head), needs to be edited. They may be full of half truths and fiction and sometimes out right lies. You can’t always believe what your thoughts tell you. Especially, if they are negative thoughts about you.

It’s time to get in touch with your personal urban legends. What stories have gone down in the annals of time that you KNOW aren’t true about. Get in the habit of checking for the “source” of your information and don’t believe every thought you hear, just because you thought it. It might not be your own story. In fact many of them aren’t.

Much of who we are, our “ true self’ or “self esteem” is actually derived from the input of significant caretakers, like parents, grandparents, siblings. They are the mirrow that reflects us to the world. When we were babies and young children, we might be called beautiful, or sloppy, clumsy or lazy, and at a time when we are especially vulnerable, we soak it up and make it our truth. I know that this seems strange but isn’t fact often stranger than fiction?

Let me explain briefly how this works.

You see our self esteem and self image lie in our subconscious mind. This is the powerhouse for all of us. When we are young, everything that is repeated to us, whether it be truth, lies, fact or fiction, takes up residence in our subconscious and without a referee to intervene for us or our self to stand up repudiate these statements, they eventually become who we are.

Our subconscious mind can be our most powerful ally but it can also be our most vicious enemy. Don’t get me wrong. It is happy to be either. It doesn’t have a conscience like you do. It has no morality, doesn’t know right from wrong. It only delivers what is programmed into it because that is it’s main function, it’s a powerful goal seeker.

It is our mainframe computer that sets the course for who we are, and it does it very well. Like a homing missile, nothing can alter the course of a goal that has been programmed into it, until you decide to replace it with another.

As already stated, who you are today was laid down in your growing up years. Say as an infant child, you were held lovingly, hugged and kisses repeatedly, and told how beautiful, smart and wonderful you are? What do you think the chances are that today, you might have a healthy image of yourself. Most likely you would be an affectionate, smart, confident, outgoing person, a real success story.

However let’s take this same child and put her/him with another family. Here this beautiful and smart child was told over and over again that he/she is ugly, disgusting and unwanted. This child is rarely touched and certainly never held and hugged or kissed goodnight. What do you think the chances are that these two children would turn out the same? Slim to none, right? In fact, I would bet that without therapy, that the second child turned into an adult who is extremely insecure, has few friends, and walks around with their self esteem dragging on the floor.

If she is a woman, she is a possibly has an invisible neon light over her head that makes her a target for abusers. Her aura says ‘victim’. Just like an anorexic who looks in the mirror and sees a fat person, this person sees what they were programmed to see. Someone not worthwhile. Certainly a distorted image of the truth.

It’s not rocket science is it? Of course there are exceptions and I am being extreme to bring home the point, but the truth is, somewhere along the line, we bought into it the story. We believed them enough to make them our truth.

What makes this so interesting is that they are ‘ONLY TRUE,’ if you believe them to be so.

Would you like to be someone else? Someone more confident, successful, happy perhaps? If so, then rewrite your script to be the person you want to be. I hear you thinking “if only it were that easy”? Guess what? It is! This is your key to understanding the Law of Attraction as well, because it is usually at the BELIEF stage where folks get stuck.

If you take ANYTHING away from this article at all, then please take the following tidbit home with you.

Inside you is the power to throw out all the negative messaging, all the words, phrases and stories that were placed in your head by well meaning ‘others’ for years and replace them with something positive, something that makes you feel good, stories that make you happy.

Reset your internal thermostat for Unstoppable. Create the person you want to be and see your new self come to life. Once you do, you will be attracting more and more positive things into your life.

The choice is now yours.

Take your first step towards independence. Challenge your thoughts, check your sources and edit and delete the stories that you don’t like. This is your ‘paper’, so turn it into something you are proud of. Be positive that it is something worth reading. Happy isn’t a place, it’s a mindset.
