Finding Your Voice
I’d like to tell you how to find your voice, or if you already have a voice, to give it a bit more volume. In order to do that, I would like you to gain the perspective of a new parent. Some of you are already parents and this will resonate with your experience. For those of you who haven’t become parents yet, use your own parents to think about in this example.

Change Your Thoughts, Your Life, Your World
I’ve spoken often about Be the Change. I love the idea of Change. Change is our privilege, a function of our free will, and it exercises autonomy in our lives when we learn how it functions and how to use it wisely and well. In order to change, you have to decide that’s what you want to do. There isn’t something in the Universe that sticks out a giant wooden spoon and stirs up your life. I know that sometimes we’d like to put the blame “out there” but sorry, folks, “in here” is where we need to look to Be the Change.

We Teach People How To Treat Us
"We teach people how to treat us. " ~ Dr. Phil McGraw, Life Law #8 I believe you and I teach people how to treat us. We do this constantly by the silent signals we send out, and we seldom become aware of it until our discomfort forcefully bring it to our attention. Let's investigate how to get ahead of this aspect of the game and create more comfort for ourselves. Relationships between people is a great place to begin. Choose one relationship in your life with the most discomfort. It might be with your mate. It might be with someone at work. It might be a parent.

Do We Know Who We Are?
Mahatma Gandhi said “I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.” I began to think about that idea and it brought up another similar quotation that had hung for a full year on the board of my sixth grade classroom: “Personality is who people think you are; character is what God knows you are.” I think that whether you like the word personality or you like the word character, whatever one you choose to define yourself, it is important to accomplish that task. We can know who we are by looking at our thinking, our speaking and our actions. Let’s look at those one at a time.r

Do You Understand About Change?
I became enthralled with the concept of change at a very early place in my life when I read about Gandhi and his principles. Because my life was also touched by the war in Lebanon, I knew life could not go on the way it was and I knew that I just had to change things in order for me to feel good about my life.

Feelings Are the Result of a Thinking Process
We banter the word feelings around blithely. Have you ever sat down and looked more deeply into just what feelings means? We have learned as children to answer “How are you feeling today?” We use the word in our workaday life: “I’m feeling overwhelmed with all this work.” We use it around our home “I don’t feel like cooking dinner tonight, honey. Let’s go out to eat?” That word is commonly used, and yet, it bears a closer look so that we can Be the Change we want in our lives.

Your Fears and the Forms They Take
If you have ever felt frozen in time and space as a result of some fear inside of you, you know precisely how uncomfortable that is, how you do not like that feeling, and how it keeps you from enjoying the life you love.

Pockets of Unresolved Feelings? Part II
Your feeling is the period at the end of the sentence. It’s the result of what you thought to a conclusive state, and it is the only way things can manifest in your life. The way to gain control of your feelings is to return to your second position and re-think what you’ve thought there because your feeling is the automatic result of what you’ve thought deeply enough about to become convinced.

How to get started
Maria is convinced that one’s purpose in life is best augmented through service to others, like her role model, Gandhi. Maria says: “I know that the techniques I teach will work for you because they have each been tried and found true by me in my life. I believe in walking my talk. I have set myself as an example of what can be accomplished. I am passionate about leading by example, and I have provided here my entire tool chest for you so that you will exceed my own successes, and then you will come back and help me add tools I didn’t think of myself to the tool chest for those who follow you at the Change Coaching Institute.”
