A warm hello from Oribel

Hello Friends,

Thank you for visiting my blog. If you are looking for inspiration and empowerment you’ve come to the right place.

Apart from articles I've written based on my own personal experiences I have included suggested affirmations, intentions, prayers, visualizations, meditations, ideologies and a whole lot more. I have personally benefited from them - I gained more self-confidence, learned about self-love, self-acceptance and self-respect, overcoming fears created by years of conditionings, tackled self-doubt, self-worth and self-esteem issues. And I’m learning to trust myself more and more each day.

I invite you to open heart and empty your mind and pick any subject that you are drawn to. Take only the information that resonates with you and leave the rest behind as they are here for others. You see, each of us have different lessons to learn in this life. Much of which is to overcome different types of fears - fear of being lonely, fear of rejection, fear of failure, well you're getting the picture. And, hence, we need different tools in our lives as we seek to discover ourselves and to turn our challenges into life lessons. With self-knowledge comes true power.

And always know that you have much to give the world by just being you....the authentic you that is. And also remember that when you reach a higher truth be prepared to let go of older ones that no longer serve you. That's how we evolve and expand.

Happy journeys,
Oribel

Passion

Passion comes from surrendering totally into something.

Passion is the stuff that brings you to your knees and sends you over ice walls - over impossible obstacles. Nothing truly great is ever done on earth without passion.

Hold your fist in the air and cry out at the top of your lungs. Feel the raw animal passion of being a human on the rock called Earth. To be this awesome one-of-a-kind creature sent down to shake the world with your bold plans, your words, your actions, your connections - all your gifts. With passion and a little help, you can do anything.

Four Steps to Passion

Step 1. Chose something to be passionate about (an object of your passion). Passion comes from falling into something and letting it take you to new heights. First choose something you’d like to be passionate about.

Step 2. Imagine merging fully with the sky or the earth.
The goal here is to move outside the self in preparation for the surrender to your object of passion.

Step 3. Now connect to a source of inspiration. It might be God, a divine being, or your favorite artist.
What is needed for this step is some belief or faith. If you feel inspired by the angels, then just ‘believe’ you are connected to us and proceed to draw in that inspiration. Same advice applies for connecting with Van Gogh, Renoir, Mozart, or whoever inspires you. Believe you are connected and it will be so. Like riding an invisible surfboard. Just climb on.

Step 4. Fall into your object of passion and let the inspiration take you. This step is once again an act of faith. You WILL yourself there at first. Then just let the inspiration take you wherever it wants to go.

The process could be called passion surfing. When the wave of passion ends, you can repeat the steps to catch another. The process will also get easier with repeated attempts. At first, it may feel a little cumbersome because we’re asking you to go in several directions. Put simply, what you’re doing is choosing to be inspired, connecting to a source of inspiration, then being inspired. The added step of merging with the sky or earth is to help you get outside yourself so the inspiration can take you.

It also helps to pick your moments. Make sure you have no pressing deadlines, turn off any distractions such as the phone, and get comfortable. Then get started with passion and make it a tool that propels you towards your dreams.
