The Spiritual Respond.

Understanding that this world is  getting very demanding on our emotional and intelectual capacities, bring us to be more aware about some other needs in our human dimension.

We can start by realizing that the need to become more knowledge able about  some qualities  we want to develop in life is coming to us, helping us,  to also grow in a spiritual dimension. When we are aware of the great opportunity we have to grow even in difficult circumstances, we tent to respond with certitude willing to bring out the best of us and others.
While we do this, we are getting strong in our Belief and of course in character, just as we read on Ephesians 6:10-11

Understanding that we can't control people's responds, but we can control our own answers, we will come to the point of recognizing the power of praying and asking for spiritual help when we are in special need. Do not be afraid, pushing ourselves to the extend of giving our highest perform wont never put us in the wrong spot. It's always a matter of preserving our relationship with God.

The FIESTA Spirit...Showing your Positive Attitude!

You have being invited to a wonderful party, the date is comming and all your friénds are sharing their thoughts and comments about all The preparation for this magnificent event. You are all in the spirit of FIESTA. What a great feeling!

Who doesn't like Fiestas?
O well, some time people are not up for a party, but we can always enjoy  life with a Fiesta Spirit. For me, the essence of any get together It's enriched with our attitude, who does want to miss the fun with real cheerful people? Some time we call them optimist, positive, friendly, lovely, nice, genuine.However  you want to describe them is ok, but what you or I  really receive or give is the energy from  love and goodness irradiating from our thoughts, the feeling of appreciation, and the faith for the best to come.

Can we extend the Fiesta Spirit when we are sick?    When work is getting hectic, or slow? When just ending a relationship? When leaving your country for better opportunities? When fighting the burocracry in a govertment organization?  When working in pro of ideas that will help to shape better humans beings in this  world?
Can we try to extend it to our daily life, (Ok I heard you-that can be to much for some people) lets  have the exceptions of  few days...but can we work to make it our normal attitude?...how good Would that be?

Relationship Matters.

Its hard to think about relationship without going into the most meaningful experiences in our life. The idea of this article came up as a kind of appreciation for the relationships  we can embrace in life.  So I can't go further without highlighting the richness and beauty of growing up in a very active, strong and bicultural family. I truly appreciate the experience of been frequently exposed to be surrounded by different culture and people. The thing is that today more than ever, I do acknowledge with gratitude the great diversity of people I have encounter in my life. Most of them have bring me the opportunity to learn and grow in this direction. Too bad I were no aware of this for many years. Thanks God, today I can understand better the benefits of the wonderful opportunities I have had.!

The believe that we come to this life with a purpose which is normally achieved by  connecting us with other people is stronger that ever. I would love to know your experience and thoughts about this, but its possible you agree better to do the exercise of appreciation by your own. So try to think about how its your life better because of the experience you have had building relationship. Are you overwhelm with your relationship or you are enjoying your relationship with your families, friends, and associates.

What is the key that help you to build the trust needed in any relationship?
What is the given gift in you for the rest of the world? Have you found  it out?
We help people to grow as well they help us to grow. We get together like crossing a line at the same time because we have to, for some unknown reasons; maybe its not a coincidence your are reading this article today. Maybe you are the reason I wrote this article. I can say I am glad you are here! Burt the bottom line is, how do you feel now?
We are all learners and  no matter how good, brilliant, rich, poor, happy, sad or successful we think we are, life will keep showing  us what we need to learn until we are ready to receive it and accept it, because we are part of an universe that is bigger and better than us.

This direct me to the center of this article "Relationship Matters" because we alone are nothing. We need to build our relationship with God to have the courage to stand up when we need to. We also build our strength throughout actions of  love, care and support to our family and friends, and caring for them its the way we learn how to build healthy communities too. Friends and families are our first significant relationship, they give us the opportunity to put in practice our personal attribute, sentiment and skills in something that give us life instead of taking it from us.

Relationship matters because we all have memory, and with that memory there are feelings and emotions, even though sometime we  choose to live in denial. It's important to educate and recognize those feelings and emotions, and understand that sometime they are the ones that get us into trouble and there we have a good reason to recognize them. That's the only way we can start resolving any possible problem in the way we manage relationship.

I have met people in my life that are the most beautiful relationship keepers,  I have also being around the most straight, sincere and even pragmatic people that are so happy with themselves that they don't need to have their life tide to too many friends because they are best at their own with their family and few associates. Some people are easier than other to keep a good relationship with, but the fact that we are referring to relationship in this topic, shall call our attention to the importance of why are this people in our life, and why are we in theirs...we all have to figure it out.
If the cycle of the connection with anyone in your life is open, you shall try to keep it open in peace. If the relationship  is not good, then close it in peace. The key here is that, to achieve that ,we have to make sure that we have acted  with love and justice...For the best of Human Ecology.



Giving, Loving & Caring

I believe We are all call to transcend our human limitations in this beautiful experience of Life. We can only honor that opportunity with commitment. tenacity and the noble desire to excel. 

It's HEART WORK, nothing else!


Master in Hospitality

There are things in life that are definitely precious. In my perspective hospitality is one of them. I always related the happiest times of my life with people who embrace "moments" in such a rich, joyful and natural way, that you could be doing nothing, but enjoying their presence.

If we think about people in our life, and try to remember special occasions when we were pleased with what  we found, even in times when our expectations were not too high, we will come up with a reference of exceptional human beings.

Think about all the tourist destinations, hotels and restaurants where you feel comfortable, you're glad to pay for the service they offer,  and you're always ready to go back. Personally, one of the best experiences I have had traveling was in Cancun, Mexico (1997). My husband had to travel for a business convention, and I used the opportunity to take a week long vacation. In the weeks before the trip I was so excited to enjoy my days in such an amazing place, I really didn't plan everything ahead of time, and the only thing we had set was the arrival and returning date, the hotel, and a few shows planned for the people in the convention. But as soon as we arrived we were amazed by the high level of hospitality, and the abundance of information available to us. During my stay, the people I came in contact with  in Cancun, for any reason, represented to me the resemblance of what we all should strive to be for each other. That trip was such a great learning experience for me that years later when I created and developed my Customer Service Seminar, mainly base on my professional experiences for almost 12 years, I also added many insights from what experienced from the service I received in in this trip to Cancun.

Other places where outstanding hospitality can be found and its of great importance is in the healthcare industry. How beneficial would it be if all hospitals and medical offices had the training of some of these places, where we have experienced the sense of  LOVE and UNDERSTANDING involved in an attitude of sincere caring and empathy for their patients.

My next thought will bring you close to one of my deepest reflections about the Science of Happiness.
*A master in Hospitality make you feel LOVED, WELCOME and APPRECIATED!
 

#Wellness shall be fun!

Article 1.
The dynamic of our life is some time so stressful, that we believe we are fine because we are doing every thing we think we need to do.

The mistake we normally face is that when we are in such a hurry, we fail to realize how many hours of work we pretend to keep up without an appropriate routine of exercise, rest, good hydration and a healthy eating habits. Some times is hard to understand that the exercise we are missing to do and the diet we don't want to keep on, plus a good sleeping habit are key for our health today and our wellness tomorrow.

One of the problems in our days, is that in our society we are getting used to abuse our body system with to much fast food, to much work, and worries, then feel bad, go to the doctor, find out that stress is killing us, get  a recipe for a miracle medicine, feel better and jump again into the crazy routine, until the symptoms call our attention again....because we know that it will, but we rather to not think about it until the symptom show up.

In the best scenario, Let say that you might be able to redesign your schedule to add more space and focus on the main idea that suggest that "health is Life" as Univision News section promote. So my question is, what would you try to change first?

Lets think about it and come up with a realistic and fun plan that embrace "One Healthier Habits at a time".

Come back soon for more about Health and wellness!

The Will Power in times of need.

Life is Good, but we need to make it better!

When you have good health, you enjoy having enough will power to work in pro of the different responsibilities  and challenges you face in life. Of course, that also depend on the personality of every one, because there is a lot of people out there, with good and even wonderful health, but no will power. That's not the target I will focus on during this brain storm article.

The idea here, is to reflect and find alternatives that can be helpful for any one that is actively looking for answers about the subject matter. This article is  giving me the opportunity to reflect about how my health is affecting my will power and vise verse. So, let see what I have as starting points. Who knows it might bring you to an AHA moment too...

• For many years I though I could always do what ever I wanted to do.  
• For almost 41 years, I didn't  need to focus in the connection between  Will Power and Health.
• In the last 6 years I have come to realize that yes I can do many things, only if...
• In the last two years I have observed the synergistic connection between Will power and health.

The most important point for me, at this moment, is what I have being able to acknowledge about the relationship between my health condition and my will power levels to keep my commitments. You might not agree with me, but I even think this is a very good point to work on this time of Lent and a marvelous reason to jump into two areas of difficulties for me. Areas where I  have to admit I keep failing;

1. The Nutrition I need/  How can I make it my life style?
2. Exercises I can do./ How can I follow the plan, manage my energy and stop before its too much.

I will bring more insight about this subject soon, but please keep in mind that the article its not meant to bring suggestions, its more a kind of exercises or brain storm. Hope it can bring light to you or somebody you know, It might be able to let someone know that she or he is not alone in the battle for getting healthier and enjoy life!

Awareness...the reflector of our conciousness and principles.

Our society have come to a point where the demand to us, as active citizens, looks very difficult to be followed. Many of us are truly trying to  keep everything in the order we would love to have, just for the benefit of being able to participate in everyday activities without the concern of leaving important task undue. Some times, it is hard  to keep up the faith, and good work that look to accomplish many different goals. Not to mention how difficult it can be when our "resources" are limited, or our consciousness its weak and has not being well formed to be a good citizen.

The big problem I see here in US, as well as in Venezuela, is that there is a kind of acedia or lack of care for the future that we are cultivating and this pattern come from years of inertia, corruption, and poor leadership. Thanks to those that stand up for their belief, working, voting, facing the reality of their everyday life with purpose and knowing what they are doing when confronting what they are not willing to give up, its that we still have some hope.

The symptoms of the problem are obvious when  our actions reveal lack of awareness about the importance of taking care of our individuals responsibilities as adults in good ways and this include the responsibility we have as contributors of wellness and progress in our communities. But who cares, right?

•  If we see into some government ideologies and manipulation's techniques, it looks like some of them really like and sponsor irresponsible behaviors . That's why we get shock  when we hear them say;  "We will fix everything for you, you will be able to do all (wrong) things (or just do nothing), you have your rights (just keep us on the top), and we will make possible the pursuit of happiness (what ever it means) for you  ". Ref.Venezuelan's Government.
• As parents sometimes we don't even notice some kind of wrong doing patterns  in our children, while they are growing. So, we can't correct them. Also, if our children are repeating the same we do, and we haven't take the time to change that, how can we recognize the bad habit and correct them in our children?
• As friends, we see many people struggle to fix their life issues by their own, until the point of getting frustrated and start taking short cuts that bring them and their families into so many problem, but... the normal thought is..."we can't say anything because its their life/no needs for the trouble".

It might be true that there is a high number of people that  expect a  good life to be "light". But I believe  that the power of those that carry on the values of living a life that bring them peace, happiness, and clear passion for the abundance and plenitude of  embracing  justice, faith, righteousness, and love in order to understand better and respond better all the demands of our times its higher. Its not about them being perfect, but about them spreading good conscience and us willing to hear and receive.

A life in "Light" version, could be the life that does not require maturity, responsibility, discipline, commitment, hard work, education, consistency, sacrifices, love, faith, hope, piety, compassion or even justice. We don't need that in this times. We have never needed before. We don't need governments that raise up the worst of people, we need people that really participate by free will in the light and power of government that come to embrace moral laws that serve the economic, social, political and cultural conditions in our countries. Their work shall be focus on the best interest of a project that moves people into the different and selected circles of learning, growing, and progressing in their personal life, or as members of the society according with where they are and what they need to accomplish for good.

Hopefully each one of us will look inside to accept and understand that we might need help in certain times of our life, but its vital to recognize how important it is the fact of cultivating our belief to form our conscious and see the importance of our actions.  Our social problems didn't come because of the people in government, families, church or schools alone, but because of each one of us, in every where. We were the ones following thoughts, doctrines, ideologies, statements, or people without discernment.

Awareness is a practical subject..to which we have to say yes, after discerning!
