THE 80/20 RULE

My Dear Friends,

Whether it’s business or just living everyday life, it always seems the 80/20 rule applies. In other words, why do 20% of the people seem to get 80% of the positive results, and the 80% often times seem to be floundering? This does not mean, of course, that the entire 80% are unfulfilled and unhappy, but specifically, I want to write this month about what it takes to be in that top 20%, and be manifesting exactly what we desire in life. I am referring to that ability, to be able to create for ourselves, on a regular basis, happiness, a spirit connection, wonderful personal relationships, and abundance.

What I have observed about the 80% is that their biggest common denominator is that they continually ‘BS’ themselves about their efforts. Make no mistake about it, our life is a blank white canvas and we get to paint our own life picture if we are willing to take the responsibility, but it does take self-discipline, will-power, and practice. Frankly, the 80% continually ‘BS’ themselves about the effort they are putting forth to paint their life picture and create their life experience. Every single one of us have had various struggles in our life, and whether they are about relationships, finances, health etc., these struggles, although uncomfortable, are the life lessons that ultimately make us who we are. For me, my two biggest life disappointments, my divorce and business failure years ago, have been my greatest teachers, and I hear this same message from my audiences on a regular basis. In order to finally exit the “80% group” and stop ‘BSing’ ourselves we must understand the necessary steps to move forward and then take regular and consistent action. This is what I teach in my coaching, and speaking engagements www.simplehappy.net  or www.andyfeld.net .

Painting our life’s canvas and accessing infinite intelligence involve all of the following:

*Listening to our ‘Inner Radar’ without fear of judgment from others
*Balancing our lives and our male/female energies
*Gaining control of our thoughts and ego usually through a regular meditation practice
*Understanding the relationship basics
*Harnessing the power of our thoughts, emotions, and spoken words
*Taking the proper actions
*Living every moment with Integrity and Grace
*Embracing Universal Oneness
*Practicing love of spirit, love of self, and unconditional and detached love

This may all seem like a tall order, but the spiritual masters of our planet have all learned the above through practice, study, and teaching. Painting our life’s canvas means being able to consistently access infinite intelligence to get the unique and correct answers for us individually. The only consistent way for us to receive the proper direction is to get on the right frequency of the answers. This is what I teach and coach, and will be writing about in my new book which will be out next fall. www.simplehappy.net  www.andyfeld.net .

Let’s review Universal Oneness. Never was this understanding clearer to me than on my hiking expedition to Mt. Kilimanjaro in August of 2005. At the end of the first days hike we exited the rain forest and stepped on to a beautiful plateau. I remember looking down on a sea of beautiful dark clouds as if in an airplane. Next I witnessed a magnificent sunset reflecting off these clouds, followed by an awesome starlit evening. This beautiful show of Nature and the closeness I felt to it, along with the incredible warmth of my new Tanzanian friends (the guides and porters), clarified for me in vivid detail that we are all of a common thread. Somehow and someway the clouds, the sun, the stars, and people and animals are all connected with a common spiritual thread and the glue which hold the thread together is LOVE. Going about creating our life experience requires this basic universal understanding.

I look forward to sharing much more in months to come. This week I am off to Mississippi to address a business group and then back home to speak to the Rural Electric Association. I would love the opportunity to share this message with you or your group. www.simplehappy.net  505 269 9909
