To keep your momentum - be sure to know your why!

The New Year is off to a great start and progress is on track. And, if you're shaking your head in an affirmative manner to this statement, I commend you!  I know staying focused on your outcome(s) is not always easy.  They say life gets in they way and "they" are right.

Indeed - things happen and they can definitely interfere with our desires if, we don't have the following two things well defined and in place:

1. Referencing my last post: "Appreciate your desires - they speak to who you are", which pinpoints the importance in recognizing your moments of clarity and paying due attention to them; we must also,

2. Answer the WHY. Generally speaking, this concept refers to knowing the reason(s) why you want something. Naturally, this tool results to be a powerful one if  applied correctly. Let me explain this through a simple example.  

I say to myself: I would love to learn to speak Spanish because it sounds cool.

Now, three years have gone by and all I can still manage to say is: hola, gracias and (of course)  una cerveza, por favor.

What happened with this wish; what happened to my desire?  I was certainly clear about what I wanted and sounded passionate about it (hence using the words: "..would love to..") yet, I did nothing to accomplish it.  The reason for this behavior is simple: I did not have a compelling reason why, in other words, I did not have a big enough reason to start with.

After having a moment of lucidity and making the decision to commit to it,  it is essential to (now) have a big enough reason that will guarantee commitment and assure completion. Under this scenario, the same example might sound like this:  I am going to learn to speak Spanish because I want to add value to myself as a person and be able to connect with people in this tongue as I am convinced doing so will allow me to get to know them and get exposed to the culture in a completely different way and level. That is an opportunity I can't let slip in my lifetime.   

Under this scenario I've decided to be very clear with my desire and  at the same time, I've given myself a compelling reason (the juice) to assure I accomplish it. Unquestionably, the individual who puts this into practice will have a very different perspective on the final outcome than the person who just wants to.

Through this example, we are able to see how our why is more than just a reason to do something. When put into practice our why equals the juice we need to fuel our desire and make sure we don't stop until it is done. It's a game changer. You might've also heard some people refer to this concept as your drive.  

The good news is that we all posses this drive, it lives in us. Some of us are just better at calling to it, than others.  But, that too can change with proper guidance.

Here, the intent is that you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the real value that comes from creating a compelling enough reason that serves as fuel to assure that you accomplish what you most utterly desire and commit to it.  

Another way of saying this might be: fuel your hunger with drive (your why) and you'll start to experience real change.

To your sauce!

Appreciate your desires - they speak to who you are.

Many times, people say to me: Chris I know what I want; I just don't know if I have what it takes to  go after it. Others, say: I know what I want, I just don't know how to go about to accomplish it.

To these respectful beings, I say: "I honor you for your sincerity and honesty." By admitting this, all you've done is take the first step towards creating change. Expressing your wish to the universe and admitting you need some stars to align in order for it to become a reality is how we begin to create. Through this simple action what you've (already) accomplished is connect with your true internal desire. This is bliss, remember: clarity is power!

This simple act of announcing it represents a turning point because it defines the line between where your life is and where you want it to be.

Embrace the beauty in this noble act and appreciate its true meaning.  This is you. This is your clarity speaking from within. This is you, shining your light. This is you wanting to give and share yourself with the world.  And, this is you wanting to maximize the time you have to enjoy and seek joy in this life.  Exploit it.  Appreciate your desire first.  Then, let's make a plan to take action that moves you closer to your desired life and lifestyle. You deserve it.

To your sauce!

Live with higher intent.

Happy 2018 - to your clarity!

A new year has just begun and we should feel blessed, full of bliss and (of course) in our Sauce! (Be sure to check my introductory post: "Welcome to in my sauce!"http://inmysauce.blogspot.com.ar/2017/12/welcome-to-in-my-sauce.html )

Personally, I encounter it ready to let gratitude accompanied by hard work, strong belief and faith take over. I do this because (fortunately) the outcome is clear.  I know every step I take is one that moves me closer towards my happily after.

To assure clarity remains for the next 365 days – every morning- I nurture my mind and (more importantly) connect my heart to a gem: a message from Disney’s happily ever after, which wisely and wholeheartedly relays:

“…Ready to begin, let the wonder take hold. Feel it draw you in, watch the moments unfold. Spark a dream that we’re meant to follow, setting out for a new tomorrow...

Every step we take brings a new hope - a new day. Every choice we make helps us find our own way. Every wish finally put into motion diving in with our hearts wide open...  The Story comes alive, a new adventure there in your eyes. Is just beginning, let your heart beat faster, reach in and find your happily ever after…”

Exacto!

This exercise quickly puts things into perspective and lets me focus on what’s truly important.  It serves as my guiding emperor of what it means for me to have a plentiful and successful day. 

These days, to have clarity is an imperative luxury because of everything it represents and does for us. For this exercise's purpose, clarity signifies: Knowing what you want, why you want it and how to go about to get it. By doing this, you organize the cerebral puzzle our rational needs to understand the steps to take and align it with human emotion (state needed to decide and take action). 

This concept serves as a valuable guide in this noisy world and gifts us with direction. Once we gain this clarity we solute the opportunity to take action (move forward) produce results and as a result have peace of mind.  For this reason I describe clarity as an imperative luxury. It is a crucial treat we must give to ourselves daily;  if it lacks, it will show in every area of our lives.

As my wise coach, the great Palmucci, always told me when he sensed me feeling scattered in any way: Clarity is power. Know your outcome. Then, take action. And, in his words: ACE it, Chris; ACE it! A.C.E stands for “Action Cures Everything”.

ACE! What a magnificent revelation.  When you want peace of mind, take action!

Taking action automatically puts you in motion; hence, giving you a sense of accomplishment.

Viewed this way, we see that -essentially-  the term peace of mind speaks to clarity. Clarity (again) is: knowing what you want, why you want it and how to get it. Of course, while remaining in state of certainty.

Putting this into practice generates progress and when we see the results and achieve our desired outcome we feel happy.

As it was a desired outcome, we feel accomplished. That sense of accomplishment brings us fulfillment. Feeling fulfilled is the Mecca of our spiritual needs. This process brings everything full circle. Experiencing it is what makes us feel in our sauce.

So, our journey begins here and now. We are changed by the way we live every day. All you have to do is decide. 

Here's to your clarity, being in your sauce and creating your happily ever after - happy 2018!

I look forward to serving you.

“…Each of us has a dream – a heart’s desire. It calls to us! And, when we’re brave enough to listen and bold enough to pursue it, that dream will lead us to a journey to discover who we’re really meant to be. All we have to do is look into our hearts and unlock the magic within.”

Welcome to: In My Sauce!

As I write this -here and now- I must say, I feel "in my sauce!"

I grin as I say this because -while I am familiar with this saying in Spanish (“estoy en mi salsa!”)- I am not sure I’ve ever heard this phrase used in English.  I certainly recall shouting it out a few times though.

The thing is, this phrase carries such intrinsic energy that it’d be a crime not to share its meaning. Simply put, this saying is a manifestation of what every person wants in and out of life: to feel joy!  And, to be in your sauce symbolizes just that.  This is why, this time I communicate this, with the intent to put this phrase to its best possible use and project everything that this short and sweet maxim stands for, defines and means for the benefit of humanity.

The outcome; simple: to feel fully alive!

To be and feel fully alive is our God given gift - to experience it, our right and our decision. 

Why feel this now?  The way I like to reflect on this question is to (first) remind myself that we only we get one chance to do so. Second, my desire is to make sure you do so as well.  And, third of all,  if not now, when? 

I invite you to take this journey with me as we begin to create your most special, enriching and fulfilling experience by designing your ideal and desired sauce; the kind that defines you and you can fully share with the world every single day. 

To your sauce!
