My husband and I are on a second honeymoon celebrating our 20th Anniversary. This has been a trip full of “firsts” for me. First time in Hawaii, first time taking a surfing lesson (or even attempting to surf!), and first time on a helicopter. Transformational growth happens just outside your comfort zone and all of these have been outside mine! 

A common theme keeps coming to us. Your thoughts matter.

Thoughts become actions, which can manifest your wildest desires.

Here’s one example from a surfing lesson with Lolo, the Hawaiian owner of Maui Surf Culture.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more afraid of the ocean waves. I shared my fear with Lolo, our surfing instructor, and he said to leave that sh$t on shore.  He said Hawaii stands for

1. Ha translated to the Breath….  Breathe
2. Wai.. become one with the water and nature
3. ii- become one with spirit.

Breathe, focus on being present, not the past or your fears, and focus on where you want to go. He had me aim for the trees on shore. 

I said, I can do that. Afterall, I preach these things every day!

We had just done Eye-Level Whale Watching the day before. The humpback whales look at this water like a giant bathtub. So I kept telling myself, I’m just playing in a giant bathtub!

Above all, you have to believe that it is possible. This is where mind over matter is so very key to manifesting the life of your dreams.

Here I am breathing, being present and one with the water and nature!  Click on the picture below to view the video:
