A Doorway to Making a Difference

 

A vast part of the early years of my life were extremely challenging. My family life as a child was dysfunctional, destructive and difficult. As I began to grow up, much of the way I conducted myself simply made matters worse. The effect that drugs, alcohol, abuse and anger had on my life was tremendous. When life seemed to get to its most critical point, I got help.

 

As I began to turn my life around, the longing to help others do so grew stronger and stronger. As I saw how impossible odds could be beat and dramatic changes could happen for myself and others, a calling to make a difference in the world rose up in me. I have spent most of my life helping as many people as I can make a difference in theirs.

 

Over the years I have learned many techniques and concepts to help change lives on every level. From very early on, most of what I shared or taught came to me spontaneously. It was as if the right words would simply "show up" when I needed them to from within me. A challenge I always had was getting the words that were so inspirational and important down on paper without interrupting the "flow" coming to me and through me while meditating.

 

You see, it isn't just the words that make the difference. It is the feeling and the energy of the flow of them and their relationship to one another that is experienced so powerfully by those who read or hear them. The challenge was to be able to get the words down without interrupting the meditative state I would be in while "bringing them through".

 

A friend suggested trying Dragon NaturallySpeaking. After a little practice the results were amazing. When a writer picks up a pen or pencil and begins to write, the words flow. I am just the opposite. When I would try to write or use a keyboard it would stifle my creativity and the inspiration of my message. Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking I was able to get into a very deep state of "connection" and stay there while the program wrote for me.

 

In the last 30 years I have been able to help make a difference in thousands of people's lives. As a result of this program, the effectiveness, content and impact of what I can create, share and express has been multiplied many times over. It is currently having a powerful and dramatic effect on the way, who, and how deeply what I'm able to convey makes a difference with the individuals, families, businesses and organizations I work with.

 

As a result of using Dragon NaturallySpeaking doors have open within me, in my work and into the world in a profound manner. Using this program has been a key turning point for who I can be, what I can do, and the difference I am making in the world. Thank you.
