Personal growth can be an aphrodisiac for your dreams.
It allows you to peel away those nasty layers of:
- Insecurity
- Uncertainty
- Fear of failure
- Self doubt
Those qualities that hold you back from being your true self and denying you your ability to pursue your unique purpose in life.
My friend Laurie and I attended the BraveHeart Women’s Rise Event (rising up to the next level of your life) in Los Angeles. It was held at the swanky Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Beverly Hills. This life altering three-day event was a gathering of women from all walks of life, from all different parts of the world.
It was graciously hosted by the creator of BraveHeart Women, mega goddess, Dr. Ellie Drake. She was born in Iran and fortunate enough to escape with her family to the United States when she was twelve years old.
She was so grateful that her family was no longer under the tyrannical grasp of a regime that ruthlessly suppressed it’s people, that she made a vow to become a beacon of hope for other women.
Ellie sense of calling has led her to teach women how to evolve as a woman flourishing energetically from the inside out.
The panel at this conference was filled with beautiful, vibrant, intelligent women including Dr. Lisa Nichols (“The Secret”), Debra Wilson (actress-Mad TV, Avatar), Gloria Loring singer and entertainer and Dr. Sugar Singleton, cellular memory expert.
They graciously offered some very sage advice:
- Climb out of the box that so many people put you in
- Get your hustle hat on and get a running
- By watching your friends playing their A game, it makes you look at your own
- Get rid of the negative people in your life
- Set your attention and law of action = dream
- Have balance in your life
- Fail forward – you will make mistakes – learn from them
- Set healthy boundaries
- Honor that tingly feeling in your gut-it’s your passion meter
- Internal + External value = purpose
- Look for signs from the universe for affirmation
Braveheart Women’s mantra is to assist women to grow personally in order for them to blossom. To connect the women of the world together in order to receive and give inspiration in the areas of self-esteem, empowerment, purpose, passion and personal prosperity while enhancing the world by being Brave Women who live from the heart.
And boy did we! We met some of the most supportive, accepting, non-competitive, beautifully inspired women. We are 250,000 women strong! This online community masterfully uses social networking with a purpose. Check out their website: www.braveheartwomen.com.
I cried, laughed, rejoiced, learned, danced, sang, gained empowerment, meet so many memorable people and soaked up so much inspiration to confidently continue on with my dream.
We were given a boxed set of 52 daily reminders to live in the art of Ease-ology, “It’s Easier Done Than Said”. You can obtain these at: www.BraveHeartProductions.com.
These cards will assist you to truly experience that success can be infused with Ease.
All of the guests were also blessed with receiving the book Brave Heart Women – How to be Inspiration in Action. Wow, I can’t wait to delve into this book and read the insightful words of 30 women from all different professions and points of view.
The biggest gift Ellie gave us was the practice of Oxytocin breathing. For example, if you’re driving and someone cuts you off. Before you get pissed off, say to yourself, “Okay”, place your arms horizontally palms up, take a breath and really concentrate on the exhale. This will release release a hormone from your pituitary gland that will allow you to relax. Try it, it really works!
The morning we left for home, I pulled the Certainty card from the “It’s Easier Done Than Said” deck and it read:
When my certainty far exceeds the worlds’ doubt, that is when they will follow me. My level of certainty will be nourished and strengthened when I connect with a purpose that is larger than myself.
We were on our return flight home and our plane was flying over the San Francisco Bay approaching the airport, when I noticed the colorful windsurfers on the water. We were enjoying the view when Laurie noticed the Blue Angels in formation (like an arrow) flying directing towards us! What a magnificent sight! It took me a few minutes to come down from that once in a lifetime experience for it to dawn on me that this was a sign from the universe that I’m on the right path!
Have you gone to a personal growth convention? If so, how has it helped you with your dream?
