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 />
