The Festival of Your Life

2010-09-13T22:57:00.000-07:00

This yearning has dissolved into trust
This fear has faded into dust
From the first step taken in fear
To the final confident step
You have been there
Showing me the way
There is no love in fear
No need to be right
Nothing to chase
There is only love
And your choice to express it
Or let it wither and die
Forget what you have been told
Embrace what you really know
That you are a seed ripe with potential
Plant yourself in the faith or your expression
Cast out into the unknown sea
Forge on one more day without needing to know
How it ends
Because the only true ending is the one that never begins
Otherwise, all of life
Is one giant leap of faith into the arms of Love
You were born to express your gifts
Do not wait a moment longer
Because the next moment may be too late
Live unafraid of death
And your fear will die
And all that will be left
Is the festival of your life

Show Up & Let Go

2010-08-13T09:20:00.001-07:00

I do not know if we will meet again
But what I do know
Is that I trust in Love's timing
I've learned not to chase you
But to chase myself
The yearning I had to be with you
Was truly yearning to be with my authentic self
And in finding myself
I now know all I have to do is show up and let go
Show up for my own Heart and let in everything that matches
It's vibration
And let go of everything else
There is no use trying to hold onto a poison
Because I'm afraid of going thirsty
I've had one too many sips of that drink labeled "I'm not enough"
I'd rather go thirsty in the desert because my Heart has asked me to
Than deny it's request one more time
But what I've found is that once I let go of the poisonous drink
Of low self worth and listened to my Heart
I did not go thirsty
Not because I found another poison to drink
No, but because following my Heart
Was all I need to quench my thirst

If you have haters in your life - read this!

2010-07-27T14:38:00.000-07:00

Instead of going outward - seek instead your own love, approval and praise. Cultivate a strong sense of knowing that you are exactly where you should be. Do not let the harsh or negative words of others stray you from your path.

Surround yourself with other visionaries, allies and friends who support your Highest Potential.

To doubt your Calling, to turn away from what you truly Love is to go against the Will of the Uni-verse and will only bring suffering and resentment.

Go with the flow of what you Love and let that stream carry you to new and distant waters only reached through Patience, Trust and the surrender of Fear.

Love,

Mastin

Love will do the rest

2010-07-20T20:28:00.001-07:00

Beginnings are never easy
So much is still unknown
So many desires seeking fulfillment
Collide with the patient trust that
Everything is as it should be
Love does not rush
No masterpiece ever does
You do not plant the seed of a rose in the morning
And ask it to blossom by the afternoon
Lust is the first one in
And the first one out
But love…
Love is cool, calm and collected
It plays tricks on you to keep you honest
Love is a patient comedian
Who helps you to get over the fearful ego
So you have the fearlessness to BE with yourself and another
I do not ask for easy beginnings
Because I know that the One meant for me will stick
With no effort on my behalf
There is no striving for love
There is no convincing love to stay
There is just you
Your fearlessness
And trust
Love will do the rest

What true love is!

2010-04-28T05:56:00.000-07:00

Once you find the love within yourself, share it with the whole world. The more of your self-love that you share the more you'll receive.

Eventually someone will come along & love you just as much as you love yourself. If you feel the same way - that's true love!

Love,

Mastin

Anything is possible

2010-04-26T05:16:00.000-07:00

To bring your Life into Harmony take risks by facing your fears and you will increase your self-worth.

Anything is possible, other people's success can be seen every day. Today is a great day to know this same success is possible for you, but it's required that you get up and get out there. Tip toe if you have to, but get out there!

If you seek my Light...

2010-04-23T04:56:00.000-07:00

If you seek My light
At first sight I may blind you
If you stand in My light
It will cast a dark shadow
And there all your fears
And insecurities will hide
For they love the darkness
Eventually, after enough seeking
You will see, it is not really My light
That you seek
But your own
And this Light has another name
Love
And when you begin to shine
That is when your shadow will disappear
But your fears will try to keep your Light dim
Don't let them
Shine, shine, shine
Shine on in the face of your fear
And soon enough
What once kept you afraid
Will disappear, and all that's left will be
Our Light

Listen to what whispers...

2010-04-22T05:34:00.000-07:00

There is a whisper within you that is dying to be heard. It reminds you of all that you could be, all that you know you already are. The whisper promises love, dreams fulfilled and challenges met. Your whisper is a call to new beginnings, great adventures and to live a life of no regrets. It is subtle and cannot be heard by anyone else.

Your tribe can't hear it; they will tell you it is too dangerous and must be ignored. It is your choice what you want to believe; the subtle, unknown Truth within you, or the seemingly secure collective illusion of your Tribe. Your whisper is The Origin of all Creation speaking through you; trusting your whisper is your unique and courageous gift to our World.

It is my great promise to you that all of existence will conspire to assist you to bring forth your special gift only once you have fully committed to listening to what is heard by you alone.

Come out of your shell (a poem)

2010-04-17T06:54:00.000-07:00

It feels good as hell
To come out of your shell
And say what you mean to say
What been held in for so long
For fear it is wrong
Can finally see the Light of day

Embrace your right
Never give up the fight
To get something off your mind
You never know
Perhaps what you show
Could change everybody else's mind

Just go THROUGH it! :o)

2010-04-15T05:04:00.000-07:00

When you stare at what hurts your awareness will turn pain into joy! Have the courage to go through it so it can stop going through you!

Love,

Mastin

Into the Dark Night

2010-04-14T05:33:00.000-07:00

The Heart breaks and
The Soul takes flight
Into the Dark Night
To Illuminate It's Light
And welcome a new day's
Delight

And by shining bright
At such a height
The broken Heart heals itself
From the Façade of Freight
To become Brand New
And know what's truer than true
That no matter what may come
EVERYTHING will be alright!

The bird's eye view!

2010-04-10T07:15:00.000-07:00

From your limited point a view the comings and going of Life can seem chaotic, confusing and unfair. But if the ant could see the street from the bird’s eye view she would see the order of things. Think of your Heart and your Intuition as guidance from above and you’ll begin to see how EVERYTHING is in perfect order.

Love,

Mastin

You're a creative genius!

2010-04-08T04:49:00.000-07:00

The awe, inspiration and talent you recognize in others are but a reflection of the same thing in you. I highly suggest you do not seek the approval or recognition of those you admire but instead cultivate in yourself that which you see in them. There is a dormant creative genius within you - let them out!

Love,

Mastin

Be impeccably your own!

2010-04-06T04:39:00.000-07:00

If you want to have the raddest and most trend defying lifestyle trust yourself unwaveringly. When you love yourself your style will be impeccably your own.

Love,

Mastin

Serve your Heart's desire!

2010-04-05T05:02:00.000-07:00

The Universe will bow at your feet and serve your Heart's desire if you but choose to focus on it and it alone.

You were born with a direct connection to the Energy that birth's and sustains worlds and It has given you a vision of what you must do.

Discard everything else and let this vision take over your world and you will not have to chase it - just by showing up, it will come to you!

Love,

mastin

No grievances!

2010-04-02T05:28:00.000-07:00

When you can fully accept yourself and let yourself be and express who you really - your life will come ALIVE! No apologies, no grievances... this is who you are...

They can take it or leave it! The result will be the correct one that is in your best interest!

Love,

Mastin

Dont let them...

2010-04-01T04:53:00.000-07:00

The best way to take care of someone else is to take care of you first.

Anyone you allow to block your connection to your own well-being is preventing both of you from being happy.

Only when you are fully in your own power will any relationship bear the fruit of happiness.

Love,

Mastin

If you want to fly...

2010-03-31T05:31:00.000-07:00

When we are walking on The Path love is always our goal.

Too often we don't want to ruffle feathers or stand up for ourselves because we don't want upset the balance - but what I've learned is that if you aren't willing to stand up for yourself no one else will be either.

To be taught how to stand up for yourself you will be sent many lessons that will call for your courage and self-worth. Embrace them!

If you want to fly, dear seeker, you're going to ruffle some feathers!

Love,

Mastin

The bigger picture!

2010-03-30T05:03:00.000-07:00

Because you can't see the bigger picture keep in mind that when you think something is going wrong is it actually going right. This is true 100% of the time.

The Universe is always working on your behalf.

Trust it.

Love,

Mastin

All the planning in the world...

2010-03-28T08:51:00.001-07:00

There is no skill better to acquire than to be conscious of the present moment, be willing to let go of everything you've ever learned and jump into a spontaneous, weird and unknown new life.

All the planning in the world can never prepare you for the time when you must leap into the unknown all by yourself.

Welcome to that moment.

Love,

Mastin

Let today be the day...

2010-03-26T04:49:00.000-07:00

Let today be a day where you take nothing for granted. For life is fleeting, fragile and precious and can change on a whim.

Say all the things you really want to say to your loved ones today, say the things you would regret should they pass on and your words remain unspoken.

Rejoice, for you and they are alive today - and should you or them pass on to unknown shores, rejoice even more for you have a wonderful love story to tell.

Love,

Mastin

Till your final dawn...

2010-03-25T05:11:00.000-07:00

If you're in a rut
Trust your gut
It speaks the truth
And will get you loose
So you can continue on
Till your final dawn
In perfect repose
And abundant meadows
Of your hearts desire
And your loins fire
But you gotta let go
To let the real you show
So the Universe can yield
A heart thats been healed
Let go to breathe
Trust what you see
Love is the key
Now just let it be

Copyright 2010 Mastin Kipp

Receive THIS!

2010-03-24T04:42:00.000-07:00

The act of receiving is just as important as giving. You stop the flow of energy when you do not let in what is truly yours.

If you want to allow abundance into your life it is vital that you recognize your own worth and allow all the good stuff to meet you where you deserve to be met.

Love,

Mastin

Go ahead! Ruffle some feathers!!

2010-03-23T05:30:00.000-07:00

You're going to ruffle some feathers if you want to fly, it's inevitable. It is impossible to please everybody.

It's far better to meet your own expectations and let someone else down than to let yourself down to meet someone else's expectations.

If you're serious about success knowing this will help you get there.

Love,

Mastin

This is VALUE!

2010-03-22T05:23:00.000-07:00

The value you place on yourself is the value the world will give you. If you want to be compensated for your talents - value your time. If you want to be a valuable business - solve valuable problems.

If you want to be a valuable lover - give your love away with no expectation of return.

If you want be valuable to yourself - choose people who do the same.

Love,

Mastin

Fear is SO last season!

2010-03-21T07:26:00.000-07:00

Living in fear is so last season! If you want to be happy and really live your dream you have to take a stand and just put yourself out there.

You might fail, yes indeed - but, you might, you just might succeed too! Don't you want to find out? Either way your life will never be the same...

Can you handle it?

Love,

Mastin

Today is Spring! Welcome to Re-Birth!!!

2010-03-20T19:06:00.001-07:00

Welcome to the FIRST day of SPRING! Today is the Spring Equinox!

No matter what walk of life you come from this is a great time of year to allow yourself to be reborn. We are not what's happened to us. The past is over and done with. The Promise of Spring shows us that we can move from darkness to light, from bondage to freedom and from fear to love.

All the things that have fallen away from our lives have left much room for new life. We've been given the power to free ourselves.

Let's take this time to see how we can be reborn. So many times we are so sad mourning what we've lost that we can't see the miracles and opportunities that are always at our finger tips.

Let us not be slaves to outdated bad habits, or stay in hibernation because we're afraid to face the world outside the cave of our current understanding.

Let's go out into the world, get messy, make mistakes and learn to that our fears can die and be reborn as love, understanding and courage.

What a miracle, you are alive today on this day where The Promise of Spring, rebirth and new found freedom can be yours.

The choice is yours to make.

With great love,

Mastin

For extra credit in life...

2010-03-19T05:43:00.000-07:00

Think of life as a school for your soul; you are here to learn in perfect well being. Here's a tip for life's pop quizzes: instead of asking why something happened, ask instead 'what can I learn?'.

For extra credit, ask ' ...and how may I serve?'

Love,

Mastin

2010-03-17T04:14:00.000-07:00

You gotta know what you want!

If you don't know what you want you will linger through life accepting your circumstances as "just how it is" and never really apply yourself fully. But you can master and transform the circumstances of your life!

It's true that sometimes you have to wander to find yourself, but every hero, every successful person (on The Path or not) had something in their mind that they HAD to attain.

Give yourself time to figure out who you are and what you want and then dedicate your every last ounce of effort and focus on attaining it.

Focus, focus, focus, persist and at last you WILL succeed!

Love,

Mastin

The Edge

2010-03-16T06:33:00.000-07:00

The edge, it's so scary
The edge is certain death
The edge is inevitable
When all else falls away
The edge is what's left

So go to the edge
The brink of disaster
Step a little closer now
Poor child, what's the matter?

The edge is your friend
But a foe in disguise
It's at the edge's end
Where you'll finally come alive

The edge is getting closer now
The edge it is neigh
The edge is before me
I'm pretty sure I'm gunna die

The edge it's here now
Right before my very eyes
And right before certain death
I've learned how to fly

Loving You is Loving Me

2010-03-15T05:46:00.000-07:00

Your eyes say more than your words ever could
It's when our lips finally meet that our love is understood
Refreshed, expressed our thoughts and desires
Admitting them to each other
Takes us higher
Being vulnerable is strong indeed
Cuz loving you is loving me

The dawn WILL break!

2010-03-14T07:08:00.000-07:00

Any circumstance you find yourself in is only temporary and can change in an instant.

Your attitude and state of mind is the steering wheel of your life, what you think about and project into a situation intensifies and eventually manifests in real life.

Meet every circumstance with a positive outlook and when set backs come - hold the course!

The dawn WILL break!

Love,

Mastin

First things first!!

2010-03-13T07:09:00.000-08:00

The Law of Attraction, Power of Positive Thinking and Intention are all extremely powerful tools to help you attract and manifest your highest potential. However, they are all secondary to intuition.

Unless you are walking on the path that your soul knows it must walk on none of these tools will work properly for you. If you're living a fear based life and believe that your dreams aren't real, then the Law of Attraction will give you unrealized dreams, the Power of Positive thinking and Intention will turn into hopeless wishing because you're taking action based on fear.

Once you cross over and say "Yes!" to what you soul knows it should be doing, only then will these tools be of any use to you! We are not five sensory beings; we have 6 senses, intuition being the sixth and most important sense.

Once you learn to trust and take action only on your own guidance the world will bow at your feet.

Love,

Mastin

Step into the Unknown!

2010-03-12T05:19:00.000-08:00

A lot of people don't have a clearly defined goal and as a result wander through most of their life. It's time to cast off all doubt, think as big as you can, imagine yourself living your best life and set a goal for yourself.

The thought of achieving this goal should make you excited, happy and inspired! Then, decide to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to achieve this goal no matter what resistance you are met with.

The heroes of all time decided to go on a journey that they did not know the outcome of, risked death, faced their worst fear and came out with the prize alive.

The path is known, now it's your turn to walk down towards its unknown end with the faith that you WILL at last achieve your goal!

Love,

Mastin

Be un-apologetically yourself!

2010-03-11T05:48:00.000-08:00

Part of success is not minding what other people say about you.

When you firmly decide who you are some people are going to like it and some aren't, what really matters is that you like who you are.

When you are unattached to the judgments of others and simply being yourself amazing things will begin to happen!

It's a bold and necessary thing to be yourself and not apologize for it!

Love,

Mastin

This is true love...

2010-03-10T05:13:00.000-08:00

True Love is one of the rarest jewels of life, treasure it with all your heart. When you find someone who loves you just as you are, is steadfast during moments of stress, willing to grow with you and allows you to feel however you choose to feel in any moment - there is nothing more you will ever find in a person.

You've found True Love when you feel fear; fear of vulnerability, fear of abandonment and fear of letting go of your own stubborn egoic patterns that keep the real you separate and safe from the other.

Trust in love and go towards your fear, taking this leap of faith in every moment is the journey Love requires for its sweet reward.

Love,

Mastin

Put yo' self out there!!!

2010-03-09T05:38:00.000-08:00

We are always waiting for the perfect time to start, for things to be just so, for a clean entry into a well mapped out journey - guess what, that AINT how it is!

Put yourself out there, right now, get messy, make mistakes, learn along the way and adjust the course as need be...

But for heaven's sake, put yourself out there!

Love,

Mastin

Patience child...

2010-03-08T05:01:00.000-08:00

Patience child, patience. Remember, life is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there'd be no point to living.

Enjoy the ride, and in the end you'll see these "set backs" as giant leaps forward, only you couldn't see the bigger picture in the moment.

Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up everyday, stay true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek.

Love,

Mastin

Surrounded by Support!

2010-03-05T05:10:00.000-08:00

The Universe is desperate for you to follow your dreams. You will be surrounded by all the support you need if you choose to see life that way.

So many live their life in fear. It's such a rare moment when one of us wakes up and decides to plunge into the abyss of the unknown that the Universe will rejoice and provide everything you need for a successful journey.

There will be obstacles, so it's your job to decide how to react to each challenge. I promise you if you keep pressing on you will be presently surprised to find out what lies just on the other side of every perceived "failure".

Love,

Mastin

What inspires you is within you, too!

2010-03-04T05:39:00.000-08:00

You have all you need within you to become the best version f yourself. Anything that inspires you is an outward reflection of the potential within you.

Cultivate in your own life, in your own way, the qualities and greatness you see in others and pretty soon you will be living a life that is your personal version of greatness.

Your work is to apply yourself everyday and don't look back.

Fitting in is... BORING!

2010-03-03T04:40:00.000-08:00

In general, I think it's pretty boring to 'fit in'. I like to be the one who doesn't fit in, who is constantly discovering myself and giving myself permission to be brand new in each moment.

To me fitting in just means buying into the collective insecurity of the tribe and not letting my light shine. The only thing I want to fit into is my own skin!

Love,

Mastin

The only difference...!

2010-03-02T05:16:00.000-08:00

The only difference I can see between people living a life of their dreams and people dreaming of living another life is their ability to believe (even in the face of massive resistance) that the life they want is possible for them and persist in that belief longer than anyone else.

Inside you is a great expression dying to be heard and it shall be if you hang in there, keep going and don't listen to ANYONE who tells you it can't be done.

Love,

Mastin

Just ONE THING, yo!

2010-03-01T05:35:00.000-08:00

If you let it, life can become a simple pattern of staying in your comfort zone and never wandering out into the unknown to see what lies on the other side of its horizon.

Today is Monday, the first day of the week; change your patterns, even slightly today, so that a new world can find you.

Do ONE thing that scares you today, ONE thing that makes you a little nervous, ONE thing that you never thought you would do.

If you do ONE thing every day you will have done 365 NEW THINGS in a year! Today, don't try to tackle everything, but please do ONE thing!

Love,

Mastin

Intimacy (into me I see lol)

2010-02-27T07:00:00.000-08:00

You will receive love only to your ability to be vulnerable enough to let it in. Love between two people is a fearless state of being where who you are and who they are is given and received without fear of engulfment or abandon.

The underlying belief of this state is complete trust regardless of outcome.

Love,

Mastin

2010-02-25T05:34:00.000-08:00

This life yields to the thoughts of your mind and the actions you take.

The goal is to be so in tune with your essence, your intuition and your Heart that this connection becomes the driving force in your life. When you are connected to your essence you are connected to the energy of the greater whole and will be guided towards greatness.

When you trust yourself and express with heartfelt conviction that which you really are you flip the script on whatever is lacking in your life and draw it to you automatically.

Love,

Mastin

The Perfect Experience of You

2010-02-25T04:50:00.000-08:00

You got me right where I want you
In between the lines
Our eyes speaking truths
That no words could define
Laying in these sheets with you
Diving to the depths
Seeing a vision
Letting all the layers shed
Lying with naked hearts
Letting each other come undone
We are together in this moment
This perfect experience of you
And me
Together as one

Choose to be...

2010-02-23T05:26:00.000-08:00

You are the creator of your life - whatever is happening right now you are creating it. You become what you choose to become, today - choose to become the solution.

Let it unfold baby

2010-02-22T05:23:00.000-08:00

Let life unfold day by day. Do not rush into doing that isnt necesery. Trust that where your feet are is where they are supposed to be and walk into this day with a postive expectation - who knows what lies ahead for you.

Love,

Mastin

The challenge of Love

2010-02-20T05:09:00.000-08:00

Love can be hard.

Love requires you to be kind when you are angry, patient when you feel anxious, compassionate when you judge others, caring when you feel apathetic, trust when you've been wronged, let go when you want to hold on, know that the other person is you, take risks when you’re scared, to always see the lesson and never look back once you've decided.

Love,

Mastin

What is patience?

2010-02-19T05:07:00.001-08:00

What is patience?

Path of least resistance.
Awareness instead of judgment.
Trust what shows up.
Insight instead of assumption.
Empathy for others.
Non-attachment to out come.
Compassion for yourself.
Easy manifestation of your Highest Potential.

Love,

Mastin

Abt finding Joy...

2010-02-18T04:41:00.000-08:00

The joys of the outer life are found by those who are bold about embracing and acting on the joys of their inner life.

Love,

I prayed...

2010-02-17T05:21:00.000-08:00

I prayed for change, so I changed my mind.
I prayed for guidance and learned to trust myself.
I prayed for happiness and realized I am not my ego.
I prayed for peace and learned to accept others unconditionally.
I prayed for abundance and realized my doubt kept it out.
I prayed for wealth and realized it is my health.
I prayed for a miracle and realized I am the miracle.
I prayed for a soul mate and realized I am the One.
I prayed for love and realized it's always knocking, but I have to let it in.

Love,

Let go of the things you fear o lose. Die to your attachments. Free yourself from everything you think you are and embrace the truth that you are abundant, eternal, fearless and worth being loved.

Love,

Mastin

What patience feels like...

2010-02-15T05:45:00.000-08:00

What does patience feel like?

It's a subtle unfolding with time as your ally. You feel relaxed and trust that it will all work out, even if in this very moment, there's no clear path to the end.

It feels like the subtle uneasiness of allowing all you're uncomfortable with to be exactly as it is.

Love,

Mastin

A Valentine's Day Message - Love Yourself

2010-02-14T05:28:00.000-08:00

I hope this Valentine's Day that you remember that the first love of your life is staring back at you in the mirror. Once you can see that love will show up everywhere for you - you do not need to seek it out, buy it or cling to another person for this kind of love.

Whether you are in a relationship or not - it's so important that you Love Yourself - because you can only give what you have. If there is no love inside you - you can't give it to another person.

Loving yourself will only strengthen the relationship you are in or if you're single loving yourself will create the perfect scenario for you to attract your idea mate. It's a win-win situation!

There is great love within you waiting for you to recognize it - see it - today of ALL days!

Love,

Mastin

It's never too late

2010-02-13T05:33:00.000-08:00

It's never too late
Now is the right time
To undo your fate
And start a different climb
Today is your day
To start brand new
There's another way
That's right in front of you
It's been calling you all along
To follow this path
And know it's not wrong
To never look back
Turn around now love
This is the end
See what you're fears are made of
Is actually a friend
And the only thing that dies
As you turn around
Is the disguise
That's kept you down
But not anymore
Cuz today you're brand new
You can no longer ignore
The real, loving and true
Inner YOU

Give up the Fight

2010-02-12T05:19:00.000-08:00

Listen to the quiet whispers
Within your heart
This is how you start
To set yourself free
The adventure begins
By listening within
And knowing that
What's unseen
Can come to be
You're meant for far greater things than this
When you give up the fight
And step into the Light
Your Fear transforms
Into Bliss

We are home - a love poem

2010-02-11T04:48:00.000-08:00

Oh sweet lover
I have faced the fears of my darkest nights
To be with you
Oh sweet muse
I have banished the fear of your reflection
So that I may gaze deeply into you
And not look away
I know now that our sweet embrace
Is a gift we give each other
To remember who we are
Separate – but always together
And that all the while
We had walked different paths
But we always had each other in our hearts
And that we were never alone
But preparing to be together again
My whole life has been a preparation for this moment
Where our lips have met again
For the first time
And we both know that
We are home

Universal Savings Acct

2010-02-09T04:57:00.000-08:00

Listen to me when I say that the sacrifices you make for your dreams are like making HUGE deposits in your Universal savings account.

What you give up to live your best life is delivered to you later in the form of dreams fulfilled. Sacrifice mediocre desires for your dreams!

Love,

Mastin

The Unknown is RAD!

2010-02-08T05:00:00.000-08:00

The unknown is filled with anything you want it to be. There's no reason AT ALL to think that letting go of something that is unhealthy for you will leave you sad, alone and regretful.

Au contraire!

The Universe by it's very nature wants you to succeed! ALL THE GOOD STUFF is waiting for you to let go of your suffering, your insecurities and ANYTHING that doesn't match your best life.

When you let go of what isn't good for you - you FINALLY create enough room for what IS good for you to show up! Let go! Step into that unknown and expect the best!

Love

Mastin

Changes comes from within

2010-02-07T06:03:00.000-08:00

One of the most loving things you can do for another person is let them make their own mistakes, learn their own lessons and endure in the contrast of a life they don't really want.

People only really change when they've hit rock bottom - sometimes the most loving thing you can do for a person is to let them and be there to help pick up the pieces.

Permanent change comes from within, no one can give it to you.

Love,

Mastin

This is Perfection...

2010-02-06T05:35:00.000-08:00

Nothing is perfect if judgment is present. Everything is perfect when you let go - this is how you see with the eyes of love.

Love,

Mastin

The best agenda: GIVING

2010-02-05T05:17:00.000-08:00

To get the most success out of life have no agenda other than to give whatever you can in the present moment. A smile, a laugh, a quarter, a helping hand, an introduction or just your listening ear is more powerful than you can imagine.

Beneath every gift is the knowing that the Universe is abundant and that you lose nothing by giving away what you have.

Others will feel comfortable in your presence and all good things will find you - WITHOUT seeking them.

Love,

Mastin

Embrace your Ambition

2010-02-04T05:06:00.000-08:00

Ambition gets a bad wrap these days. But it's ambition that separates the simple dreamers from the envied dream-livers.

The ambition of your heart is to unveil it's gift to the world and to be recognized for it, both by yourself and the rest of us.

This is your destiny, have the courage to own it - cuz when you do, not only will it yours, but WE ALL will be better off because you did.

Love,

Mastin

Take a Walk with Me

2010-02-03T05:22:00.000-08:00

If you will simply take a walk with Me
The Path will show you the way, step by step
Keep all your heart desires in your mind
And then let it go with Trust
That The Path illuminated at your feet
Will eventually guide you there

If you will simply take a walk with Me
And listen to the Voice within, telling you it's safe
To come out and play
The Path in front of you will surely
Guide you home

If you just take a walk with Me
The Path will unfold perfectly
And you will see you were never alone
And that exactly where you are
This place is sacred
This place is home

The Master's Plan

2010-02-02T05:07:00.000-08:00

If you can think it, you can do it.
As for fear, just go through it.
Ask to receive
Believe and you'll achieve.
Love is the key, to unlock your destiny
The present is all you have
Trust in the Master's plan.
Today is gone too soon, get going
So you don't die
With your music still in you.

Love,

Mastin

The Price of Greatness

2010-02-01T04:57:00.000-08:00

Life doesn't give you dreams and aspirations for you to turn away and say 'not for people like me.' Your dreams are your real Self yearning to be followed with a courageous heart and unbending intent.

Your own wisdom is more powerful than anything you see around you.

The price for living your dream is facing your deepest fear; ask yourself 'What am I afraid of most'? Facing your answer is the price of greatness.

Love,

Mastin

Be Happy - NOW

2010-01-31T06:29:00.000-08:00

Every desire you have at its core exists because you think attaining it will make you happy; but happiness can only be attained in the present moment.

Therefore any desire you have to be happy in the future is blocking your ability to be happy now. Only when you are at peace with what is now, will you ever find happiness now.

Love,

Mastin

Love is vulnerable...

2010-01-30T04:48:00.000-08:00

To love is to risk being disappointed, let down and broken hearted and be vulnerable anyway. Love & freedom both require risk. It's not about whether someone else lives up to your expectations, but if you live up to your own.

Don't be attached to people, focus inward on your own experience of love and bring that to every situation. This is how you take your power back!

If you do this authentically, everything your Heart desires AND MORE will be yours.

Love,

Mastin

When the Heart breaks...

2010-01-29T05:25:00.000-08:00

The heart breaks
And the soul takes
Flight
Into the dark night
To illuminate it's light
And welcomes the promise
Of a new dawn's delight

Love,

Mastin

If

2010-01-28T05:21:00.000-08:00

Some questions for today:

If today was it, would you die knowing you did your best?

If tomorrow never came, would you be proud of the last thing you said to each person you love?

If "someday" was only "now", would you do everything you've always put off?

If you knew you had a choice about what kind of life you could be living, would you choose different?

If you knew failure is impossible, what would you do?

If it were true that everyone you meet is you in another body, how would you treat them?

If love was the true currency of the Universe and the more you gave away the more you received, how would you spend it?

If fear were the biggest illusion and the greatest lie of all time, how would you choose to live your life?

If the Universe always supported a life lived towards achieving dreams, how big would you dream?

"The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat." - Lily Tomlin

You've been there before: a long day, lots to do, worrying about the next thing, trying to get through the day. What if I get fired tomorrow? What if I can't make my rent payment? If I could only get this one thing done, THEN I'll be happy. How can I get to that magical moment where everything is ok?

It's supposed to be FUN!

2010-01-26T04:54:00.000-08:00

Being a Seeker is supposed to be fun. We can get so caught up in the do's and the don'ts, the rights and the wrongs. Remember this: don't take ANYONE's word for something being true unless you experience it for yourself!

At the end of the day life is short and Love is what matters... So give yourself permission to have fun, feel good, be sexy, express your primal-dirty-self and LETTTT GOOOO!!

If you're not having fun, you've missed the whole point!

Love,

Emotions are wise guides!

2010-01-25T05:33:00.000-08:00

Your emotions are very wise guides. As you walk down The Path of Life and learn more about yourself, you will begin to see your emotions as a great ally. Inside of you is all the intuitive wisdom you will ever need and your emotions are the expression of that wisdom. Life is joy, pain, change and primal - your emotions are the building block of life.

The true Master understands this and expresses their emotions without judgment or the intention of manipulation. As you begin to express yourself and trust that expression life will open to you in the most unbelievable ways. Creativity will be yours. Success will come. Confidence will come.

A brand new life will be yours. Each emotion is a piece of you and must be honored. As you get in touch with your emotions and don't fear expressing them Life will open - you will be yourself, truly, for the first time.

Love,

Mastin

Don't settle!!!

2010-01-24T04:48:00.000-08:00

Don't settle because you're afraid you won't find something better. Don't compromise because you don't want to be alone. Give your perfect life, lover and job time and space to grow into our life. Don't rush, don't hurry.

Take your time, be easy, have patience. Allow everything to come to you with your subtle guiding and intending. Your days of constant chasing with little reward are over.

Everything you've ever wanted and more coming to you, you just have to let it in with love, receptivity and non-judgment.

Love,

Mastin

Feel worthy of abundance!

2010-01-23T05:47:00.000-08:00

We live in an unlimited Universe and are constantly discovering new information about it. There are no shortages in the Universe, the only shortage is our mental ability to comprehend how truly abundant we really are. Lack of abundance of anything in your life is fundamentally an issue of low self-esteem.

If you are missing anything from your life, ask yourself: what false belief am I holding on to about myself that is preventing my desire from manifesting in my life? Anything you've ever desired already exists; the key is to live in high self-esteem and believe you are worthy of receiving it.

Love,

Mastin

Enjoy not knowing!

2010-01-22T05:45:00.000-08:00

Life is a great mystery to be lived moment by moment, not a problem to be solved once and for all.

The Perfect Storm

2010-01-21T04:33:00.000-08:00

This is when the magic happens: right when you feel like everything is going wrong, shift your attitude to accept that it's actually going right. Our judgments of how we think our life should be are preventing us from reaching our Highest Potential.

If you're going through a storm, hold the belief that it's the perfect storm for you to be going through and that you've been given everything you need to weather the storm. When the chaos subsides you will experience the Truth that is forever true; you are always taken care of, exactly where you need to be and your efforts are rewarded exactly when they need to be.

Remember this Truth the next time a storm is on the horizon and you will grow wings and be able fly right over it and towards the calm waters of Trust and Love.

Love,

Heart over Mind

2010-01-20T05:31:00.000-08:00

The only way to live the life you see in your dreams is to let your Heart be the Master of your Mind. This is scary because the Heart yearns for
no reason, the Heart is sensitive and has the capacity of feel such great bliss and such intense pain. But that is now our calling, we MUST go through it - you MUST let go of all the reasons you can't, all the things that you think will hurt and simply embrace life as real, as primal and as intense as it is when you let yourself feel.

This is what is required of you to step into the magical land of dreams, success and most importantly happiness. Don't deny your Heart, don't turn away from the unknown, step courageously into your Fear, let yourself feel and have the strength to bare it all. This is living, this is being human - this is your calling.

Love,

Mastin

Remember Love

2010-01-19T05:27:00.000-08:00

Remember Love in all things that you do. Deep down behind every action you take is the desire to feel happy, inspired and whole. Fear and the feeling of separation give us the false belief that lashing out, giving in to addiction or one upping someone else is the way to "get ahead" or "get back at them".

No.

Hold a space in your heart for everything that isn't as you would like it to be, let go of needing the approval or presence of anyone
or anything to define you.

Take your power back by knowing you are One with the Whole and that as you let go of unhealthy situations you will be welcoming in new happiness and prosperity. Take the high road, hold your tongue and focus on what YOU can do. The days of out sourcing your power are over. You are in control.

Love,

Mastin

The Gold Within...

2010-01-18T04:49:00.000-08:00

Indeed our hearts are golden treasures, but a true tragedy would be to conceal your inner gold because you are afraid of someone stealing it or it falling and breaking. There is no love in fear. The

great wisdom of the ages always tells us the more we Love the more of it you receive. Love is not a giving or a taking, it is a state of being - a one way street of allowing, accepting and holding a space for all things to be exactly as they are.

Fear not that your heart will be broken or stolen. Love becomes love. Give it away with no expectation of return and soon you will be having a love affair with the whole world!

Love,

Mastin

IMPOSSIBLE is I'M POSSIBLE

2010-01-15T04:40:00.000-08:00

To think anything is impossible is to limit the creativity of the Universe. Time & time again throughout history everything that was once impossible has been proved to be possible.

The potential for everything has always been, it has only been our minds and beliefs that have caught up with the infinite potential that is right before our very eyes.

Anyone who says anything is impossible is dead wrong. You can create any kind of life you want. The magic happens with an open mind, humble attitude and persistent effort. Trust yourself and you'll be amazed at what IS possible.

Love,

Mastin

Your Heart never lies

2010-01-13T05:28:00.000-08:00

Really get in touch with what you believe. Your belief in something is the magic spark needed to make it real. You can believe things won't work out and they won't. You can believe that abundance is your birthright and you will be proved correct. Identify the beliefs that you have that are holding you back and day by day replace them with beliefs that push your forward.

Over time, having faith and taking action on your belief will bring around the life you have believed in. The key is to have the faith that your belief is growing and to clear out all the weeds that prevent it's growth. Keep the faith, your Heart never lies.

Love,

Mastin

What if tomorrow never comes?

2010-01-12T05:41:00.000-08:00

What if tomorrow never comes? Have you lived the courageous life you've always been inspired to live? Have you taken risks, fallen down, stood back up, tried again and again and again until you finally got it right? Did you give it your all so when you look back you have zero regrets and lots of scars? Can you honestly look at yourself in the mirror and see respect staring back at you? Have you felt fear and done it anyway?

What if tomorrow never comes? Could you honestly say you lived your life to the fullest? Could you say with a hearty "YES!" that you never ran away from love? Would you be able to say that you let the most important people in your life know how much they mean to you and that they aren't taken for granted? Would you change anything in the past or are you proud of the path you've taken?

What is tomorrow never comes? Have you been able to embrace life's messiness and realize it'll never be perfectly perfect? Did you have the courage to stand up for what you believe in not minding the consequences, no matter what?

What if tomorrow never comes? Would you have died with your music still in you? Would that precious gift that is only yours to give to this world die with you? Or would you and your gift live on eternally in the hearts of those it touched?

What's true for you and me is that one day tomorrow will never come, what if it's tomorrow?

All love,

Mastin

Allow

2010-01-11T04:42:00.000-08:00

The greatest mistake in the world is to pretend to be someone you're not in order to please someone else. Have the courage to be yourself, no matter what. If you ruffle someone's feathers their reaction is not your business. All you can do is be who you are and who you are is one of a kind. But remember, the same thing goes for everyone else so chances are you'll get your feathers ruffled, too. One word will solve all your problems, allow.

Love,

Mastin

The Space That's In Between - A Prayer

2010-01-10T05:51:00.000-08:00

My dear Source of all Creation,
Pick me up when I can walk no further
Help shine a light in this dark place
So I can see just one more step in front of me
Oh heavenly Source please show me the way
When I am lost
For your presence, it comforts me
It restores me to fullness
My Father, My Mother Source
I throw myself at your knees
And bow to your Infinite Wisdom
I know all things are done through me
By you
I am your humble servant
Take me, shake me Oh Muse
To the bone
Make me so scared of you
Yet give me the strength to stand tall
And see that my fear was wrong all along
Shake me to my core
So that I might know what my heart
Really feels like
Strip away everything that is not needed
So that I can see You clearly
In the space that's in between
My Muse, my sweet Muse
Protect me from Death
Until it is my time to move on to greater pastures
Take me to the edge and keep me there
So that I might have one foot in Death
And one in Life
So I can bring these two worlds closer together
Thank you Oh Muse for these
Lessons, these moments of joy and sadness
I know they are your perfect
Recipe
For Bliss

If you wanna give up...

2010-01-09T06:36:00.000-08:00

The journey is filled with ups and downs. Don’t confuse the two as ever being everlasting. Get up everyday and apply yourself, be authentic, trust your instincts and know that the more you apply yourself the better you get day by day. The day you are waiting for is the day you want to give up, that is when you MUST keep going. That’s the barrier between normal and greatness.

Love,

Delays aren't denials ppl!!

2010-01-08T06:38:00.000-08:00

It's well known in wisdom communities that delays are not denials. Remember this at all times. Keep focused on what you can do in the moment, and if there is nothing to be done - you are being taught patience. Apply yourself everyday towards your deepesdt desire - work hard, then let go. This is how mastery is attained.

Love is Allowing...

2010-01-07T05:41:00.000-08:00

The art of love is not in the doing, but in the allowing.

One Reason

2010-01-06T04:47:00.000-08:00

Instead of making up excuses for why something is impossible, it's far better to come up with reasons why it could be possible. One reason why is more powerful than all the reasons why not.

Love,

Mastin

Push through resistance

2010-01-05T05:38:00.000-08:00

It's your right to act upon your thoughts, do what makes you happy and push through resistance. Fear can overcome you, indeed. But not today, not because they said you couldn't, not because you might fail - NO - but because your happiness demands it of you! This is your time to live, to create, to be something greater than your fear. This is your time to come alive, because you must!

Love,

Mastin

You own... Style, Love, Creativity!

2010-01-04T05:42:00.000-08:00

There is something inside you that has NEVER been expressed before. There is a unique style, a huge love, a wonderful creativity and something eternal within you! Don't ruin this precious gift by thinking you should be a carbon copy of someone else. Be you and you will have all the protection and happiness you can imagine!

Love,

Mastin

Ambition of the Heart

2010-01-03T04:40:00.000-08:00

It's all about GOALS! And I'm not talking about boring to do lists and chores! No! I'm talking about ambition of the heart! Knowing and beleiving that you can live a successful and passionate life! Set goals that speak to your enthusiasm! Work hard towards your hearts desire and listen to NO PERSON who tries to hold you back! Let your heart guide you, let success come to you! This is your time, not tomorrow, but right now!! What's your Heart's goal? Go and get it!!

Love,

Something new within YOU!

2010-01-02T05:27:00.000-08:00

Let 2010 be the year you let go of others perceptions of you and become who you know yourself to be. Go wild, be crazy, get sexy, be funny, be bold, let yourself go to discover a brand new world within yourself. Be brave enough to bring this world to life. That is what life is all about!

My 2010 New Year's Resolution

2009-12-31T08:30:00.000-08:00

Hello and Happy New Year's Eve! I hope that whether it's already 2010 where you live or you are about to celebrate the New Year and New Decade that you are ready for change!

This week I shared with you my 2009 New Year's Resolution, which was a great look back at where my head was last year. It's amazing how powerful words and intentions are! 2009 was a challenging year and learning how to trust in the middle of seeming chaos was exactly what I learned to do in 2009!

But 2010 is a different story. A lot of our old way of living have fallen apart in the past decade. All of us felt a major shift in 2009, one that is still influencing our lives today. But there is good news.

Everything in life is a cycle and while 2009 was full of changes, loss, seeming chaos and endings, I feel that 2010 is our opportunity for a phenomenal rebirth.

My 2010 New Year's Resolution is to continue to create a life from my heart, to allow instead of try, to let greatness and love in by letting go of fear, to not look back, to know that I am worth it. I think one of the most important things we can do in the New Year is to stop chasing what's not meant to be ours and to accept all the blessings that are ours. 2010 is a year to break old habits and to integrate the lessons of 2009 so that we can rise to new and great heights that we had only dreamed of before.

In order to rise we must let go of whatever is not serving our happiness. This includes unhealthy relationships, habits, ways of thinking, eating, spending, talking and being that do not serve our Highest Potential.

2010 is a year to give up lower habits and desires and embrace our Highest Desire's of our Heart. We are setup to do this. You can find your Heart's desire in the space that's in-between your thoughts. Let go of bad habits and unhealthy relationships. Know you are worth your Heart's desire and more and that if you let your Heart guide you, you will always be taken care of.

2009 was a ball-busting year, a tough love year, a time for us to remember our true priorities. Those of us who got the message, who see what need to be done can make great leaps towards sustained happiness in 2010.

Do not fear this New Life of ours, step into it with Trust and the knowing that dream's do come true.

2010 is the year our collective phoenix rises again, this time not from the ego, but from the Heart. It's going to be an epic year! I've never been so excited and energized to welcome a new year, a new decade and a new life!!

Happy New Year you guys!! Make it a good one in 2010!

I'll see you on the other side!

All my love,

Mastin

It is impossible to be abandoned.

2009-12-30T04:31:00.000-08:00

It is impossible to be abandoned. In this Earth School everyone you meet arrives and departs on schedule to teach and mirror you. When someone moves away from your life experience the un-empowered perception is to choose to feel abandoned and victimized.

High self-esteem says to the other person, no matter what the circumstance, 'Thank you for the gift of your presence and all that I have learned from you. I send you love and set you free right now.

Love,

Mastin

New Year's Resolution for 2009

2009-12-27T22:49:00.000-08:00

Here is my 2009 New Year's Resolution... I'm still feeling out my 2010 Resolution.. Crazy how accurate this this is for my 2009... I'm curious what your 2010 Resolution is? Let me know!

My New Year's Resolution

I thought long and hard about what I wanted my New Year's Resolution to be. I take my NYR's very seriously and always try my best to actually manifest them in my life. I thought about setting goals for making a certain amount of money, or to finally meet "the one", or for Love Yourself and The Daily Love to reach a certain amount of success, or for any number of "dreams" I have to come true. And then I reflected on all my past NYR's and while some came true, some didn't. I'm actually glad that some of them didn't because in hind sight some of my "wishes" for myself, though at the time seemed like exactly what I wanted, if they had actually come true it would have actually delayed or prevented my best life from manifesting. Then I thought, wow, even with Intention, and Positive Thinking maybe the external desires I'm visualizing and Intending might not be what's best for me when I look back 5 years from now.

So this New Years my NYR is to try to simply trust. It's going to be an interesting experiment because everything I've laid out below I've resisted for so long because I've always wanted to control my environment. I'm going to do my best with these, Heaven knows I'm not perfect! Well here goes nothing!

I'm going to trust that focusing on the internal vibration of feeling good instead of any external things, people or situations will bring what's truly best for me.
I'm going to trust that even if I think that many things seem to be going wrong, that maybe for the first time I'm actually feeling what it feels like for things to go "right".
I'm going to trust that the ideas I have are great, the creative impulse I feel should be expressed and that no matter what - I will always be taken care of while I walk on the path of gratitude, forgiveness and love.
I'm going to trust that as long as I am walking a path in service that the right people, places and circumstances will always show up right on time.
I'm going to trust that some of the best things in life don't show up with a grand announcement and flashy introduction but instead in humble packages.
I'm going to trust and be receptive to every situation or person that the Universe places in front of me.
I'm going to trust the Love that is trying to find me and embrace it no matter how scary it might seem.
I'm going to trust that my Creator and Source has my best interests at heart and I'm going to try my hardest to allow It's will to be done, not mine. My mind is limited in comparison to the Source, so I'm going to get out of Her way and let all things be done though me instead of by me.
I'm going to trust to show up every day not trying to accomplish everything, but just to do the best I can each day.
I'm going to trust that taking care of and truly loving myself will be the gateway to creating fulfilling relationships and life circumstances.
I'm going to trust that by healing myself will be the best way for me to heal the world.
I'm going to trust that as long as I keep focused on feeling good and take actions that help the greater good I will always thrive regardless of what the stock market, financial markets or consumer confidence is doing.
I'm going to trust that my inner guidance is the only source of truth I will ever know and that what's happening to anyone else has nothing to do with the world I am consciously creating around me.

And finally, I'm going to trust the things that bother me most for they are the true portals of discovery and the key to unlocking why I can't just let things be.

Happy New Year!
