Enjoy Success from the Inside/Out

Connections to Our Consciousness The term "consciousness" is often used casually, but do we truly understand its profound meaning and how we can harness it to enrich our lives? Let's explore the real definition of consciousness and learn how to work with it effectively. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, consciousness is defined as the state of being characterized by sensation, emotion, volition, and thought. Delving deeper, the teachings of my favorite author, David Hawkins, in his book "Power vs. Force," shed light on this vital concept. He brilliantly explains that consciousness is our true power - a force that opens our minds to greater self-awareness! In essence, our consciousness plays a pivotal role in our personal development and growth. We must heighten our awareness of our consciousness, including our emotions and thoughts, as they significantly impact our attitudes and fortify our zest for life. What this implies is that genuine pers...

  Self-Management for a Successful Life - Part 2! In the first part of this blog, I shared how time management isn’t what you thought it is. In this blog, you will read some words of wisdom from God, who also wants you to use your time wisely plus ideas from the 4S system that maximize success using time/self-management techniques. We can all stop bullshiting about time management and start focusing on self-management. Make peace with the reality about time, by recognizing and accepting that we can’t really control or manage time, no one can add any minutes to the clock or go back in time to retrieve lost time.   Live in a real-time truth and remember that our time is limited and there’s no way to know how much time we have until our last breath. Each day we all have the same 24 hours, no matter where we live or what pandemic is raging. We are free and have a choice to determine how we spend the time we have. We can choose to live our life (unconsciously) as if we are ...

Investing In Yourself and Contributing To Your Well Being By, Kathy Shabotynskyj & Nafije Prishtina  " If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know that they are safe. If you wish to heal, seek to heal another. "-  Dalai Lama This year Nafije and I plan to incorporate a thread of PEACE in our blogs. Our blog’s purpose is to help individuals maximize their success in their life and career. As we contribute to the growth of our readers, we are also building a community of stronger, more “woke” citizens of the world. We believe that peace starts with you, dear reader, and together we can make many positive changes and make the world a better place. February came crashing in last month. My dear, sweet 91 year old aunt needs my assistance. Taxes yet undone harbor a threat of a big deposit to dear Uncle Sam. These are only two of the contributing dilemmas stimulating my completel...

Believing: Staying connected with God from the inside out Written by Life Coach Nafije Prishtina   Edited by Career Coach Kathy Shabotynskyj “When we live in peace from inside we have the power to transmit that positive energy that resides in us outwards; our energy and our positive actions affect our internal /external environment and will contribute to BRING MORE WORLD PEACE!” Nafije Prishtina Some things in life we just can't buy ; the feeling of peace is free and it is within ourselves; all we need to access peace is to take our time and reflect on our beliefs. Ask yourself if you truly believe that you are connected with something greater than you! No matter how strong our faith in God, it can fluctuate.   Some days our faith is stronger and some days it is weaker. And the process of keeping our faith in God “as if you were to see God” is the real adventure in life. Let’s remember that even if you were the Pope or the Buddha, most likely y...

“You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed.” ― Brihadaranyaka Upanishad I hope you enjoyed summer and got to do some things that made your heart sing. Personally I love summer and specifically I love summer vacations. For me the summer season overall brings happy childhood memories of me spending lots of quality time with my family, visiting my grandma and uncles in a village surrounded by tall trees and small fields and streams, eating corn on the cob, cherry picking and other farm fresh and homemade foods. My memories also include a lot of play time and just enjoying being there….in the moment not worrying about anything. It has been my deepest desire to always enjoy living in the here and now. This desire of living in the present, enjoying my task at hand didn’t always come natural for me, but I find ways to align myself and remind myself of what’s most important to me. I really love living my l...

~Inspired by a Rose~ By, Nafije Prishtina I look at this Rose and I can't help but think-what's her purpose?  She has so many thorns and yet she's looking great and smelling awesome! I realize that just like this beautiful rose my life has had some thorns too.  I pray that my mind, my soul, my heart and my body stays strong and grows in full blossom- despite my pain, and  I pray that my words smell as good as the roses! Now, I know what to do, I have to remind myself of my inner beauty. Continue growing and keep planting some more roses.  Then I need to take care of them and most importantly .... I take my time to enjoy their sweet smell. **** Like so many of you-I sometimes wonder what's my purpose in life and one day a rose reminded me. She said that "My job here on earth is to be present, to stay strong,  be patient and grateful for my time while blooming!" I agree- my life is at best when I live in the present. That's where I find peace. When a...
