The Only Change
The moment of living authentically is the only change. 🦋
And the people stayed home.
And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still.
And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed.
And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.
And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.
~ Kitty O’Meara
Self-love is a divine illumination that liberates our hearts and minds to be an authentic force for the goodness of ourselves and others. It is the secret sauce for a beautiful life lived well.
Self-love is the transformative alchemy we are all searching for to fix our messy lives, to cast out the darkness from our hearts, to right our wrongs, to breakthrough the barriers of our misguided creations, to reimagine our destiny and to recommit ourselves to the infinite wisdom of our collective oneness – we are in this game together.
Happy Valentines Day! 🦋
And then it happens…
One day you wake up and you’re in this place.
You’re in this place where everything feels right.
Your heart is calm.
Your soul is lit.
Your thoughts are positive. Your vision is clear.
You’re at peace, at peace with where you’ve been, at peace with what you’ve been through and at peace with where you’re headed. 🦋
Throughout the years, I have met and coached woman in positional power who believed that being aggressive, arrogant and irreverent was the persona of a powerful person. It turned out that it wasn’t and they eventually derailed their leadership effectiveness.
Through the process of self-empowerment coaching, my clients discovered that underneath their contemptuousness was imposter syndrome, the fear of being found out that she was a phoney, that her self-confidence was wobbly and inconsistent and that she was often plagued with self-doubt.
Our coaching sessions were focused on bringing forth her inherently empowered authentic-self, which resulted in a natural and observable transformation.
An empowered woman who knows and respects herself radiates an authentic confidence, she is grace under fire and she interacts with people with interest, respect and compassion. Empowered woman understand the strength and purpose of their power and they proudly wield it to inspire, create and to positively influence her world. 🦋
Shame is an inner-focused, painful emotion that encompasses the entire sense of self. It distorts a person’s self image to the point that they cannot see nor relate to their deeply buried authentic selves.
Shame is an IRRATIONAL feeling of worthlessness, humiliation and self loathing that leads to an overall feeling of paralysis that profoundly sabotages a person’s life.
Internalized shame ruins lives, it stops individuals from experiencing professional success and it derails significant relationships.
With the support of a professional therapist or transformational life coach, shame can be dismantled and a person’s self-esteem and life rebuilt. 🦋
Thoughts inspire feelings. Change your thoughts and you will feel differently. Yes, but you can’t really change your thinking until you are aware of your thoughts and you understand them. 🦋
So, why not you? If they can be, do and have what they desire, then why not you? How are you less deserving? 🦋
Self-Knowledge is a transformative force that ignites your empowerment and lights up your life. 🦋
If you hang out with me for too long, I’ll brainwash you into believing in yourself and knowing you can achieve anything. 🦋
Peace, one of the noblest virtues that lives within all of us … imagine how your life would transform if you decided to live your life through the spirit of Peace … one breath, one heart-beat, one thought, one deed at a time …

When we breathe life into these Four Agreements, we transform our life experiences and move into new vistas of possibilities…
~ Judit e. Szabo
Our thoughts create our reality. If we do not like our reality, we have the power to choose different thoughts. But first, we need to understand that our reality is an intricate pattern of perceptions, beliefs, habitual thinking … Transformation begins with uprooting the source of our reality and replacing it with a truth that is in alignment with ‘what’ we are committed to experiencing.
~ Judit e. Szabo
Our lives are a reflection of our thoughts.
To change the reflection, we must first transform our thoughts of ‘whom’ we are.
~ Judit e. Szabo

Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.
It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions.
And the actions which speak louder than the words.
It is making the time when there is none.
Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year.
Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things.
It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.
~ Abraham Lincoln
An essential key to personal transformation is to fully accept a fundamental truism…we are responsible for what we experience in our lives. Why? Because experience is a reflection of our personal interpretation of someone or something. If you are not enjoying the experience then shift your perspective and observe how a different experience of the same situation emerges. Each one of us has the ability to “Create a New Reality”.
~ Judit e. Szabo
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight.
Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward.
Your life will never be the same again.
~ Og Mandino
Personal transformation can and does have global effects.
As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us.
The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.
~ Marianne Williamson
Transformation really means a change in the way you see the world – and a shift in how you see yourself. It is not simply a change in your point of view, but rather a whole different perception of what is possible. It is the capacity to expand your worldview so that you can appreciate different perspectives, so that you can hold multiple perspectives simultaneously. You are not just moving around from one point of view to another, you are really expanding your awareness to encompass more possibilities.
Transformation implies a change in the sense of self. There’s an inner and outer dimension to it. It requires inner work and an appreciation for how that connects to being in the world, and the outer work of action and service.
Transformation involves multiple dimensions of a person: our self concept, the way in which we relate to other people, how we see the world, and what we feel is worth doing. Transformation really touches every aspect of our lives and has a lot to do with changing values.
Transformation is multidimensional. It involves the heart, mind, and spirit, and affects behaviour and relationships in the world.

Appreciative Self-Inquiry:
If you answer yes to one or more of the questions below then you may be ready to explore transformational coaching and start living your success:
All the tendencies present in the outer world
are to be found in the world of our body.
If we could change ourselves, the tendencies
in the world would also change.
As a man changes his own nature,
so does the attitude
of the world change towards him.
This is the divine mystery supreme.
A wonderful thing it is and the source of
our happiness.
We need not wait to see what others do.
~M.K. Gandhi
Appreciative Self-Inquiry:
What change do I wish to see in my own world?
When most people think of learning they don’t think in terms of having to change themselves. They tend to think of learning as…acquiring ideas, tips, techniques, and so on. Seldom does it occur to them that the problems they are facing are inseparable from who they are or the way they think and interact with other people.
~Robert Hargrove
Appreciative Self-Inquiry:
