The Courage to Follow<br />

Your Bliss: Take a<br />

Spiritual Journey<br />

By Camille Scielzi, Certified Life Coach<br />

Have you seen the quote “follow your bliss?”<br />

Does it make you smile in recognition<br />

or wistfulness? The author of the quote<br />

(Joseph Campbell) intended the phrase to be an<br />

invitation for you to take a unique spiritual journey or quest.<br />

Acceptance of the quest would lead you on a grand adventure<br />

where you, the seeker, becomes the Hero in the story. Why<br />

become a Hero? What is there to gain? There is a promise for a<br />

prize or reward, of course!<br />

What are you seeking? Spiritual journeys are about personal<br />

growth and development. Would you like to have a deeper<br />

understanding, wisdom, and knowledge about your life purpose,<br />

and what would make you feel spiritually full?<br />

If these are the goals you seek, then a quest is right for you.<br />

Here are a few strategic tips from other Heroes to make your<br />

journey go smoother:<br />

• There is no journey until you say “Yes” wholeheartedly<br />

• Have faith and trust this is your journey to take<br />

• Your rewards will be proportional to the risks you take<br />

• Be prepared for obstacles to appear; they are normal to the<br />

quest and surmountable<br />

The number one tip from other Heroes:<br />

You do not need to take your journey alone!<br />

Guides will appear to you along your journey. If the Hero is<br />

willing to see their wisdom and use the knowledge they offer, the<br />

journey becomes smoother, and the rewards will appear sooner.<br />

Don’t give up your opportunity to claim the ultimate reward<br />

of personal transformation and growth. Together we can remove<br />

temporary obstacles keeping your journey moving forward!<br />

If you have the courage to begin your Hero’s Journey but need<br />

some support to move forward, allow me to be one of your<br />

guides. Book a strategy session by emailing or calling me at<br />

The Animating<br />

Force<br />

By Clint Bridges<br />

There is a certain energy, an awareness that is<br />

present in all living creatures. It is the animating<br />

force that quickens the flesh and causes the breast<br />

to rise and fall with each breath.<br />

This is what I call GOD.<br />

It is the creative spark—the eternal flame of our Spirit<br />

that’s with us always as we travel across time and space…<br />

throughout eternity.<br />

Forget who you are for a moment and focus your Mind<br />

on What you are. This is your True Self.<br />

But as many as received Him, to them he gave power<br />

to become the Sons of God. (John 1:12)<br />

Wake up Brothers and Sisters. Claim your Birthright!<br />

For then you can see that…<br />

Your world is nothing more<br />

than a psychological construct<br />

you have created for yourself,<br />

based on the agreements you have made,<br />

with yourself and those around you.<br />

This construct and these agreements<br />

have become your belief system.<br />

This is what you believe to be true<br />

about your self, and the world you live in.<br />

This is your world view, and your world<br />

view determines the world you view.<br />

You have within you, the power to change your<br />

world in the blink of an eye.<br />

In the business world, I’m a mortgage broker. In the totality of<br />

my life, I am a man centered in spirit and a free spirit.. Honesty<br />

applies to every thing I do in business as well as my personal life.<br />

If you or anyone you know is seeking a mortgage, I am here to<br />

help you, and it will be my privilege to serve you. Clint G. Bridges<br />
