Dreaming New Dreams

Les Brown famously said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” 

I couldn’t agree more. 

If you are reading this, it means you are still alive; you are still breathing, you are still here on this planet. And whatever your circumstances might be, you still have so much left to do. 

You still have so much left to give

“But it’s too late for me,” you might be thinking. “It would be silly to go after the dreams of my youth.”

But think about this…

Famed folk artist Grandma Moses didn’t paint her first piece until she was 76. And she only did it because arthritis had made her embroidery work too painful. A paintbrush was easier to hold.

Or how about Laura Ingalls Wilder?  The first book from her “The Little House on the Prairie” series was published at 64.

Julia Child didn’t learn to cook until she was in her 40s. Yuichiro Miura summited Everest at age 80. Bo Gilbert was the first 100-year old model to be featured in a famous fashion magazine–Vogue, no less.

The list goes on and on.

The point is, it’s never too late to get unstuck. It’s never too late to find your path. And sometimes, what seems to be a “block” in the road is nothing but a turning point.

I know because that’s exactly what happened to me.

When Roadblocks Become Turning Points

You wouldn’t think that losing a job is something to be grateful for. I didn’t either–at first. When I lost a position at a job that was tied into everything, including my housing, I found myself about to have nowhere to live, no job and truly feeling a major void.  I didn’t know what to do. I had identified with my job–who was I without it? 

It was then that I had a realization. I could choose to live in a place of despair or live in a place of gratitude. 

Easier said than done, right? But here’s the thing. When you do it, it will change your life. 

I went from bouts of ”lack thinking” to “possibility thinking” and got clear on what I wanted to do. This didn’t happen overnight, but once I was clear, the process moved quickly.   I developed a business training and speaking in the private club industry which was the industry in which I was so familiar with.   

And I learned a thing or two along the way. I learned that gratitude is the cornerstone of every aspect of life. It has one of the highest vibrational frequencies. It makes everything in our lives better. It even makes the business aspects of our lives better. 

I started putting everything I had learned down on paper, step-by-step, to help others in my own industry. That was when The Clear Solution was first born. But it was only the seed of an idea at that point…

The Clear Solution Is Born

At first, the insights and strategies that are now available to you in The Clear Solution were only a set of self-development work for use when I was training teams in private clubs. I repeatedly saw that, as it had for me, the steps helped people produce tangible results. But it soon became clear that the benefits went far beyond the tangible. 

People weren’t just attracting money. They were attracting all of the other things in life that they wanted. And not only were they achieving their dreams–they were happier while doing it.

We Aren’t Meant To Do Life Alone

As more and more people benefited from the coaching solutions, I realized there needed to be a better way to take it to a larger scale. There were so many hurting people and so many people in inquiry in the world, and I knew this could help them. But how could I get the word out? 

I knew a huge part of the answer to that question was connection. We aren’t meant to do life alone. Our stories are woven together so tightly. I think of my own mentors, including one particular Nobel Laureate that I had the honor of learning from, and one particularly wise old man who shared many stories of his time in the Navy. All of these mentors helped me to see the world in a new way.  

You have surely had these people in your own life. People whose stories had a profound effect on you. 

That is what The Clear Solution is all about. It is us reaching out to connect with you.

We trust you will take the tools and spend some time looking inside. And once you have, you will find that there is someone to walk alongside you, perhaps one of our life coaches , if you choose. Choose someone who can not only support you in  seeing your own blind spots but encourage you to work through them. And once you’ve made your way to your best self, perhaps you can take up the torch and help someone else along their journey. 

In the process, I promise you, you will find love: love of yourself, love of others, and not just love but the purest form of love. An expansion of your heart, a way of being, a connection and truth that becomes part of the fabric of your being.  

It’s okay to fall down. You just have to get back up again. Keep on writing your story. It is far from finished. 

Best…crystal
