raise your frequency

Hello friends and loved ones -

This entry isn’t so much related to what I’ve seen in Jeju, or what I’ve done in Jeju, but its very much about my experience in Jeju. One of the reasons I’m so happy to be on this island is that I have been able to recognize habits and patterns of mine, as well as looking deeper at what inspires me and what drives me.

What kind of people am I instantly drawn to? What kind of people am I uncomfortable around? How do I react to new environments? When I have the time available, what hobbies are most intriguing to me? How do I spend my time when there is nothing else I have to do?

These are some of the many questions that have been coming up for me during my time in Jeju, and I am really pleased that I created the space for myself to do this coming here. Its exactly what I wanted from my experience, and I am really grateful for that.

I’ve also been reading a ton – some fiction books (The Millenium Trilogy, all the Harry Potter books again), but also books dedicated to self-discovery and, I suppose, realization of a creative business venture. I am really interested in entrepreneurship and figuring out a way to satisfy my artistic soul with my personal interest in business. I’ve been checking out a number of different resources online and in print, and of course, one leads me to another, and another…and another. I somehow stumbled upon Chris Guillebeau‘s The Art of Non-Conformity blog, which led me to Pamela Slim‘s ‘Escape from Cubicle Nation‘, and of course, a nice reminder about Seth Godin. And then from there, my adventures in reading led me to a brief but great conversation with my sister’s boyfriend about all of the above, to which he recommended even more resources, including whitehottruth.com’s Danielle LaPorte and her Fire Starter Kit (which I can’t wait to delve into).

(That was quite an introduction, wasn’t it?)

So today, I was quickly grazing over Danielle’s blog and at the end of an entry, she wrote, quite simply:

Raise your frequency and let the world meet you there.

It instantly struck me. I Facebook’ed it and decided that I need to share this via this blog because it was another perfectly timed reminder (the Universe has a way of doing that, doesn’t it?) to continue playing full out in the world. The ultimate message is that you need to be powerful, be strong, and be a stand for yourself. When you do what you love, when you say what you mean, and when you challenge yourself to grow through new experiences and tough situations, the world will always support you. Whatever frequency you choose to vibrate at, the world will match. If you are negative, you will attract others who indulge in your negativity and feed off it. And on the flipside, when you are open to a fully-expressed YOU, you will attract people who are open and interested in growing through life with you. You will create and attract opportunities that add value to your daily life and allow you to realize the joy all around you.

Even thinking about Danielle’s quote…I suppose many people have read that quote and found it just as interesting as me. There are probably a lot of people who read it and didn’t think twice about it as well. But that’s a perfect example of being open. While reading the blog entry, I was open to receiving and considering whatever she had to share. As a result, I read her quote and then found a deeply profound meaning for myself. It was perfectly time.

When you raise your frequency, the world opens up for you, but its not by chance; it’s by choice. That’s the beauty that struck me in that one line.

If this post got you interested, feel free to check out any of the resources I listed in this entry. I’ve taken different bits and pieces from each one, but found them all interesting and useful in their own regards.

Big love and huge smiles.
