This week's topic is one that has affected all of us at one point or another...OVERWHELM! There were three great reminders for all of us in this episode of KeliTV: |
 | Keli Ackroyd www.KeliAckroyd.com "Inspiring, educating, and empowering you to believe in yourself, and live life to the fullest." |
Your dreams are like a treasure. Some people are hoarders, keeping their dreams to themselves, and others share theirs freely with anyone who will listen. But there is this third group of people who seem to be sprinkled with fairy dust as they move through life joyfully living their dreams. So what's their secret? Let's take a closer look...
The first thing that is apparent about these people is they have clarity. They know what their dreams are, and they hold them closely in their hearts and minds.
Second thing is they believe in themselves. They believe not only in their dream, but that they deserve to have it, and that it will come true. Basically they align their will with God's will for them...to have heaven on earth.
The third trait is they live life to the fullest! They don't sit around waiting for their dream to come true...they go out into the world and make it happen!
They live life as if it is a magical treasure hunt. They ask the universe for what they want, and then they actively look for messages from the universe of how it is coming into being. They follow their path, persistently improving upon what is working, and learning from what isn't, and celebrating the successes along the way.
Doesn't that sound like an amazing way to live? It is! I can tell you first hand that living this way allows me to experience heaven on earth every day. And more than anything, I want that for you too.
So I'd like to ask you...what is the one dream that is calling to you? And what is the one step you can take TODAY towards making that dream come true?
Let me know below...

 | With every new beginning there is a risk of failure, but there is also the risk that your dreams will come true. First, let's clear up some confusion about this whole concept of failure, because it is False Evidence Appearing Real (aka FEAR). The truth is that the only way to fail is to quit before you are complete. Edison "failed" a thousand times before he created a light bulb that worked. I could replace the word failed with persisted, which would be much closer to the truth. My point is that he learned from his mistakes...all 999 of them, he kept making corrections along the way, and he kept learning and growing until he was complete. He quite literally did not give up until he brought his light to the world. You are here to make your dreams come true. I know it may feel like your dreams are silly and that there are much more important things that you have to do like make money, take care of your family, and fulfill all of the responsibilities that life has thrown at you. But I ask you this...are you fulfilled and happy? Your happiness and fulfillment comes from shining your light in your own unique and beautiful way, and the best way to do that is by living your dream. So what is your dream? If you were abundantly wealthy in the areas of work, health, love, and purpose...what would your life look like? And how would the world be different if you were truly letting your light shine? Seriously, stop what you are doing right now, grab a pen and some paper, and answer these questions for yourself. The first step in making your dreams come true, is in getting clear about what they are. Take a few minutes to awaken your heart's desires and put them down on paper. Today I encourage you to take a risk. Since you now know that you cannot fail, and you have gained some clarity on your vision for your life, what is the one step (action) that you can take towards making your dreams come true? Declare it below, and then go make it happen! Shine baby, shine... With love & light, Keli Ackroyd www.KeliAckroyd.com |
On this morning's call on A Course in Miracles we had an intriguing discussion on the day's lesson which was:
"There is no death. The Son of God is free."
The lesson started out by stating..."Death is a thought that takes on many forms, often unrecognized. It may appear as sadness, fear, anxiety or doubt; as anger, faithlessness and lack of trust; concern for bodies, envy, and all forms in which the wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you."
And it has me thinking...
Every choice we make in life is either in alignment with love or fear/ life or death, so in essence every decision is either bringing us into alignment with living life to the fullest, or suffering until we die.
I have a beloved friend who recently crossed over, and for the sake of this article we will call her Betty. Betty was this amazingly kind and beautiful soul with many goals and dreams for her life. Even in her 70s she still had visions of experiences she would like to create for herself in this lifetime. The problem is that she never did create them. She talked about it, dreamed about it, envisioned it...but she never took consistent action towards turning them into her reality.
Since her crossing my prayer for Betty has been that she has no regrets. It is actually my prayer for all of us. I imagine that during her "life review" she saw all the opportunities she missed because she was too afraid to take action. She probably has also learned that the only real mistake she ever made was not believing in her Self...she is the child of God after all! And being the children of God, made in His image, we have the same innate quality of being creators.
Those of us who make our decisions by proactively choosing the path of love, are actively creating our own heaven, and living life to the fullest.
Those of us who make our choices by reactively choosing to avoid our fears are actively creating our own hell, and suffering our own march towards death.
Let us all learn a lesson from Betty...don't allow your fears to become so big that you feel small in the face of them. Take risks. Follow your dreams. Be willing to ask yourself...am I going to regret not having done this on my deathbed? And if the answer is yes, then do it! Believe in yourself. You are made from stardust after all!
And if you need someone to believe in you, cheer you on to victory, help you learn and grow from your mistakes, and do the happy dance with you to celebrate your successes...I am here for you.
With love & light,

Oh my! Is it just me or are we hearing a lot about bullies lately? And the call to arms from mothers who think that bullies must be stopped.
This is the deal...there are always going to be bullies. They are one of the mandatory lessons we all must learn in life. How you choose to deal with bullies has everything to do with how you end up dealing with life, so instead of wishing they would go away, let's take a look at what there is to learn.
This is the deal...there are always going to be bullies. They are one of the mandatory lessons we all must learn in life. How you choose to deal with bullies has everything to do with how you end up dealing with life, so instead of wishing they would go away, let's take a look at what there is to learn.
From the definition you can see that bullies assume a power position. They think of themselves as the ones in control. But in order for them to actually have control of the situation they need a victim...and so they seek their prey. Who do they look for? Whoever will play the part of the victim!
For all intents and purposes, I should have been mercilessly bullied as a kid. I was chubby, weird, introverted, and spent most of my time in my own imaginative little world. I was incredibly sensitive, so preferred playing by myself as other kids just seemed too loud and controlling for me to deal with. I was an introverted intuitive feeling perceptive. The perfect target. Yet I was never targeted, and this is why...I refused to be their victim.
This is what I know...we are all uniquely different. There are not two of us on the planet that are exactly the same, and we all have our own beautiful eccentricities. It is those very differences that make us valuable. If we were all the same mankind would not be able to evolve and grow. We would just keep doing the same old thing. Imagine if Steve Job's mother had told him to get his junk out of her garage and to go get a REAL job like everyone else.
Bullies prey on differences. They pick the weird kid, the fat kid, the smart kid, the handicapable kid...and they make them wrong for being different. And then one of two things happen:
- They change who they are to avoid being bullied.
- They stand strongly in the truth of who they are and let their light shine.
This choice is a direct reflection of what it is they believe about themselves. Children who are not honored and respected for their uniqueness at home tend to have a harder time.
Research has shown that most bullies are feeling powerless or out of control in some area of their life, and are seeking to regain control by dominating others. Many of these kids are verbally, emotionally, or physically abused themselves.
Bullying is a power play. But no one can have power over me unless I give it to them, right? I know that there are many kids who have ended their own lives because they could no longer stand the torment of "being bullied". But if we take an honest look, it wasn't the bully who drove them to the edge, it was their beliefs about themselves. On some level they believed that they were irreparably damaged and that they didn't belong here. Who knows the beauty and grace this world will never know by having lost those beautiful souls so early. But it's not too late to learn the lesson that they gave their lives to teach us.
We are not these bodies, these emotions, or these thoughts. We are the beautiful spirit which brings these things to life. We are the children of God (or whatever it is that you call the Source of all that is), and each and everyone of us is absolutely essential to His plan. We were created perfectly, exactly as He intended, and we all shine His light in our own unique and beautiful way.
Let's teach our children to OWN their uniqueness, honor their differences, and learn from each other's perspectives. Better yet, let's become the role models for them to follow! Give yourself permission to dance to your own drumbeat, and let others dance to theirs. The worst thing that could happen is you'll learn a few new moves!
If we were to look at the bullies as if they were teachers we would clearly see the lessons they are teaching us:
- There are only two choices...love or fear. Being a victim is a choice to live in fear. Standing up for your Self is a choice to live in love.
- We are ALL unique. Love the differences, seek to understand others viewpoints, and never stop being You because it makes someone else uncomfortable. Shine your light!
- Bullies need love too. The only reason that they are acting out is because they believe that control and domination will bring them love and respect. Love them anyway.
- Be a Stand for Love in the World. If we love ourselves exactly as we are, and model for our children to love themselves exactly as they are, together we will know peace.
Please like and share the love. Thank you.
