"When a butterfly has emerged,
it can never turn back into a caterpillar."
~Colin Wilson

My friend James Price is pictured up above and, yes, that's a real butterfly, a huge butterfly that flew into a small village camp in the Gulf of Thailand that James was staying in.
James loves traveling the world even though he is a master coach whose clients miss him when he leaves the country. He is extremely prosperous because his coaching is so loving and powerful (www.polariscoaching.com) and also because he's a grad of my coaching school. Visit his website. It is cool, I promise. James is a photographer, one of the world's best, as you'll see on his website.

My motive in writing my first mystery (The Woman Who Attracted Money) was to introduce people to coaching. In the book, life coach Robert Chance has some coaching sessions with Madison Kerr. The reader gets to see how a coach thinks and works, and how a client's world opens like a butterfly.

The biggest intellectual breakthrough in the life of the great poet William Butler Yeats came when he realized that happiness and growth were the same thing. "Happiness is neither this nor that," he said. "Happiness is growth. We are happy when we are growing." You can notice this for yourself: You are happy when you are growing, are you not? And no growth you've ever made has ever been effortless.
Watch the nature film of a butterfly struggling to push through the cocoon. You will see effort. You will be moved by the effort. You will see the animating force within a living being. It's the force of a powerful reinvention. Watch the movie Rocky. You will see the hidden connection between effort and joy. Pay attention to your reactions to certain scenes in movies. Pay attention to your goose bumps and your tears. They come in response to courage and effort. They don't come in response to a scene in which someone is being comfortable. Pay attention to why you are choked up. It is your potential self trying to tell you something. It's the butterfly in your own cocoon. It wants out.
Even a subtle (mind)SHIFT in our thinking
"In 1960, Edward Lorenz, a research meteorologist at MIT, created an incredibly accurate computer program designed to model the weather. Then, one day, Lorenz took a short-cut, rounding off a decimal point. But this tiny change made a huge difference. The popular notion was that if you barely change a cause, you'll barely alter the outcome. In fact, Lorenz saw that a tiny change could drastically affect the weather. The name for this phenomenon is called "the butterfly effect", that is, tiny changes brought about by a butterfly moving its wings in San Francisco can transform the weather in Shanghai. Even a subtle change in our thinking can have a butterfly effect on our lives. Lift your thinking just a little higher, and the outcome will be greater beyond your power to predict."
~Mary Manin Morrissey

You can create a new self by learning the beliefs you want to live by-one thought at a time. Learn these thoughts as you would the lyrics for a song you had to perform on stage. A friend of mine used to learn his parts in musicals by placing index cards with song lyrics all over his office, home and bathroom mirror. He sometimes had them on the dashboard of his car. Why? He was making a conscious visual effort to reach the backside of his own mind.
The trick is to keep your motivation going. To deliberately feed your spirit with the optimistic ideas you want to live by. Any time a thought or sentence or paragraph inspires you or opens up your thinking, you need to capture it, like a butterfly in a net, and later release it into your own field of consciousness.

The new coaching prosperity school is off and running with 37 wonderful and fun coaches in it ... from all over the world! England, Texas, Greece, The Czech Republic, all over ... what do they have in common?
They are not embarrassed to raise their client acquisition skills to a level that produces financial security for them. Why not do that? I believe so strongly in coaching (because of what it has done for my life and the lives of my friends) that my definite major purpose in life today is to make coaches happy and financially free. At last.
This school has rolling admission and you can join any time and you get your full year with us from that day forward. If you are a coach and you have NOT joined our school yet, you can do so here: www.coachingprosperityschool.com.
Then you can come to Chicago and rock and roll with us there...and the MINUTE you join you receive all kinds of gifts and goodies from me, including daily messages that boost your practice and other stuff too good to even talk about.
Tony Robbins does his firewalk to test the readiness of his students .... Me? I have coaches come to Phoenix in the month of July. A much more interesting challenge. (Though in October they will be coming to Chicago to see the leaves change along with their fortunes.)
(and by the way if you are not a coach and wonder why you are reading this I want to promise you something COACHING IS GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD yes YOUR WORLD whether you ever coach or not... so it's never a bad idea to read up on it.)

"There is at bottom, only one problem in the world and this is its name.
How does one break through?
How does one get into the open?
How does one burst the cocoon and become a butterfly?"

The weather improved a lot, this several day warm sun shine on the earth, let the thicker. Spring is a time of germinal, flowers and trees start to show a green, the same spring is Yang Melhado season, the weather gets warmer, the human body the new supersedes the old. Faster, this is you feel sleepy in spring.

While doing this exercise, during our intake of breath and our rest periods, we can listen for sounds around us and within us. We may hear musical instruments or deep sounds like thunder, jets or engines from within ourselves. We may also see light on our inner screen with our eyes closed. There may be glows, sparkles, stars or flashes. It varies from one person to the next. These sounds and lights are how the Higher Power or the Divine communicates with us. They may combine to create a scene in which we can participate like a dream. In these ‘dreams’ we can often find solutions to the challenges we have in life.
