Olympic Volunteering at 2010 Winter Olympics Whistler

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Olympic Volunteer Host

I have completed 6 shifts as Host for the Alpine Racing Venue at Whistler Creekside. I am only one of 2900 volunteers working to make the Alpine Racing venue work for the athletes, spectators and media. We are all working hard to make everyday successful. I am so impressed at the quality of the people who volunteer. The work ethic is the highest I have ever seen. The spectators are all motivated to cheer on all the skiers and the media is keen to cover it. There is army of people who are working to bring this to the world. I have a new appreciation for the effort, energy, coordination and focus the team of people bring to this event.

The Olympic spirit is often referred to by the media as unique and special. It is and the energy that comes through is what our world needs. We must export the emotions that comes from knowing that we are all here on the planet together and we are connected to each other. We are all humans who are responsible for each other and as individuals.

The Olympics are an event unlike any other. Each individual who actively participates at some level expands their energy and effects others. The athletes all have had success that has been learned from failures. They have faced their fears and overcome them because they have a focus and dream that is unstoppable. Some have had to overcome physical injury that could have stopped them, yet they have gone on to win medals. What makes this happen? It is determination and belief.

The Canadian Athletes are succeeding more than they ever have before. What I have observed is that they are doing this because they have a community of supporters, a country of believers, families who make sacrifices and clear focus on their personal dream to win at their sport. I admire and respect each of them.

There is a flame of belief in each of us. Some of us have let it die out, and others have forgotten to tend to it. The flame is our belief in ourselves to become what are meant to be. Find your flame again, light it up and give it your energy and focus. Find out what you are meant to be and pursue it like the Olympic Athletes have.

Start by volunteering somewhere in your community. You will find it to be rewarding. You will have personal growth from it. When ever I have volunteered I have had tremendous growth and met the nicest people. Some have become life long friends.

Believe it is possible. Believe in yourself and find your flame.

Change for 2010

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Change is the only constant thing that happens. Yet, people resist change. Change requires adaptation and flexibility. Change is required for growth. Look at mother nature. She is constantly changing, high mountain peaks are being eroded by the rain, wind, snow and the rivers are changing the direction and moving and shaping the rocks, sand and plants growing along side them. In many parts of the world we experience seasons, Winter and Summer, Spring and Autumn. The plants grow , die, hibernate. The animals change locations and hibernate. The weather changes daily and people must adapt to the changes with clothing and what they will do that day.

Yet, when there is change in the family structure, or employment or health or location or friends or the economy, we somehow want it to remain the same. It thankfully does not and most of us adapt and move forward with making the appropriate adjustments. However, some do not. They complain, get angry, sad, gossip, feel depressed, and think “why me, when will it (the changes) ever stop?”

Consider this and be grateful for change because it is important to the maturing and evolution of people, plants, animals and of course nature. We are experiencing what we are able to handle, take lessons from the changes and then move forward with appropriate adaptation. Be grateful for the change.

Sayings “Time heals”, “give it time”, “next time will be better”, “in time it will change” and many more sayings. These all speak of change.

For 2010 and beyond I encourage you to accept change because they are the only constant.

When I look back on 2009 I have experienced big changes to my life. Some of them have been very purposeful and others have just happened. I know that I am moving forward with gratitude and momentum to my life of financial freedom and complete freedom to choose.

I love my family and friends. I tell that to them regularly.

The Middle Class is at Risk. Are you in the middle class?

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Okay folks. The rules of money have been working against you and it is dam time to wake up and get educated. Today I heard Mike Maloney, Rich Dad Advisor for Gold and Silver give his powerful and honest presentation at The Wealth Master m2 conference held in Las Vegas. I also had the opportunity to have a one-on-one discussion with him.

Mike Maloney and Cheryl MacNaughton

The world is bankrupt and we are living an illusion.

The more people get educated from the middle class the more likely we are going to survive and keep the wealth in the hands of the middle class honest working people. I am truly afraid of the consequences if the middle class in America, Canada, and Europe do not get financially educated what can happen. The world will not be stable and the people will become desperate and will look for someone to save them. The only way we can save our way of life is to collectively become aware and then stop the fiat currencies from being printed at the will of the countries central banks and in the USA Federal Reserve.

We are all in this together and connected. I want to have a world that has freedoms and abundance. Where people are free to aspire to what they want to be and follow their purpose and passion.

I have launched my new Wealth-to-Freedom site. It has free education and great content to get you started. It will inspire and perhaps surprise you to learn more.

Perhaps you will join me and others who are tired of being lied to and are awakening to the truth.

Consequences are real.

Friday, November 13th, 2009

A few months ago. August 4 to be exact I was in a accident. At the time I knew I had hurt myself because the pain was substantial. I did not appreciate the significance of the accident’s effect on my quality of life because the body makes adjustments and compensates to keep moving and living.

The body does not always compensate the way that makes it work the best. So I am now dealing with the consequences of that accident that took only 1 second to occur. It occurred because someone was careless and created a situation that perhaps they did not consider or just did not care.

This week I was asked by a fellow on Facebook to become friends. I was suspicious of his intention, so I asked him why he wanted to become friends on Facebook. His answer seemed legitimate so I accepted the friendship. He immediately started to pitch me what he is selling without making any effort to know about me or what I am doing. I declined his sales pitch and advised him that it was not good manners to sell immediately upon making contact. I advised him that his offer although interesting was not something I needed. So his response to me was this ” I am rich and you are poor and I do not care if you or anyone likes the sales pitch” He further went on to insult me some more and told me that I was basically stupid for not taking him up on his offer and that I am living with the wrong ideas. He thinks that we are not at all connected and that the law of attraction is BS. He is careless and does not care of the consequences of his behavior. I advised him to enjoy is temporary wealth because it would not last. Then I deleted him as a Facebook friend.

For those of you who do not consider consequences of your behavior and actions or worse do not care. Karma will be delivered. I hope and hold the intention that you will learn that there are consequences for each action and that your karma will teach you the lessons so that you wake up/

Be real. Be honest. Be considerate. Be aware. Be kind. Be polite. Be connected.

Remembering On Remebrance Day.

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Remembrance Day and Veteran Day are days we are told to remember the people and “purpose” for which we have fought wars for. Our freedom.

Do take time today to consider if you are truly free and are the wars that have been created worth the incredible loss of life. The lives lost, the terrible suffering of people does require each of us to pause. Remember and then ask questions, hard questions that sometimes gives us answers we are surprised at. Expand your mind and seek answers.

We are not in a World War the moment which is a good thing. However, Canada, USA, UK, and NATO Allied Country’s are all in Wars. Their mandate primarily is stabilize the “threat”. My question is “Who are they stabilizing?” “What is the true agenda?”

War’s are about “Profits”. They always have been and always will be. The profits of Power and Wealth. Power and control being the 1st priority. We all seek to have power and control. However, when we seek to have Power and Control regardless of the consequences of our fellow man and the living of our planet, the agenda is corrupt. The real agenda is being exposed as more and more people wake up to the manipulation and brain washing that has been taking place through multiple methods.

Ignorance is bliss because you do not know what you do not know. Then suddenly something happens and you realize that remaining ignorant is not an option any more. Perhaps it is someone close to you who dies of Cancer or in a war/conflict.

Remaining ignorant is no longer an option. We are all connected, plants, animals and humanity.

We collectively have to ask questions and seek the truthful answers, share the knowledge and stop being blindly lead like Sheeple. We owe it ourselves, our planet and every living entity.

What are we remembering today? For me it is a day to remember why I am no longer being manipulated and blindly lead by the “agenda”.

I have said and written about this many times. READ books. They contain wisdom and abundance of knowledge. Today’s recommended reading is

A New Earth; Awaking Your Life’s Purpose. Eckhart Tolle
