Controlling What YOU Hear By Watching What YOU Say: If you’re going to listen to anyone you’re going to hear yourself. It does not matter what anyone in the world says about you, it means nothing until you allow it to get into your spirit and you begin to say what is being said to you.

As a kid, instead of playing nicely with the girls, I fought with the neighborhood boys. I attempted to join their fun and received new scars weekly in bloody games of soccer. I was always the last one picked to play on the kickball team and, as the catcher of my 5th grade softball team, I pummeled the pitcher in the head with a fast ball.

In my line of work in the alternative health industry, I have noticed a common theme in the lives of some very powerful healers. In the most beautiful way, these powerful healers are heart-centered and quite self-less. The flip side of this can lead to caring ONLY for others and not giving much attention to themselves.
