When Your Parents Don’t Have Love To Give

On January 16, 2015 By Rebekka LienIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

What do you do when you grow up with emotionally constipated parents or even absent parents? Sometimes we strive to please others because we never got the love we needed. We become overachievers. A few days ago I met this amazing Cantonese woman and mom who patiently listened to my stories, we met at jury duty. After it all ended, she texted me and told me how special I was. She told me that she’d be a proud mom if she was my mom.

When I read that I started weeping.

Sometimes God will send us mother and father figures because we need the affirmations that we lacked as children. There is something beautiful about strangers giving you a gift of love. It’s worth more than money, it’s invaluable, something you’ll forever store in your heart.

People can’t give the love they don’t already have in their hearts. Sometimes they’re leaking because they continue to poke holes in their hearts. They refuse to forgive and keep tearing the wound open.

So in that light, choose to forgive them because they don’t have the love to give. See them as sad children who never got the love they needed and choose to heal on the path of love.
Seek and you will find.

Where All Striving Cease…

On December 20, 2014 By Rebekka LienIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Where all striving ceases, peace is restored.

In my time of meditation, I heard myself speak out loud

“where there is fear, there is lack. Where there is love, there is abundance”.

In perfect love, my heart is settled. And in stopping my flesh from fighting and striving, in moments of meditation, I find things easily come to me and I am able to hold onto the promise that has been given to me.

All history is written in words, and I simply walk onto it with faith.

That is my life.

The Secret To True Success

On November 9, 2014 By Rebekka LienIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I’m writing this on my iPhone folks! I wanted to share my secret to success, knowing myself and having the type of maturity at this young age of 26. Many older folks ask me how, how do I know so much. How did I know to quit a job I hated, how.

One big secret that really isn’t that sacred is- solitude.

Yep. Every year I take at least 3 self retreats. Some of these retreats are only an hour from my home in pasadena, some are 15 hours away by flight. I spent 3 nights in big bear when it was blazing hot and off season for the skiresorts.

The world has many messages to send us. Facebook is loaded with complaints and ads. People need us, want us. Especially if you’ve managed to build a few businesses, even more right?

The secret isn’t to make yourself available to everyone. The secret is to hide yourself for a few days, even if no one knows it. This secrecy helps you to guard your personal space and life. It also helps you to redefine and find who you really are, what you really want out of life.

Sometimes we get so caught up with our previous goal, we forget that our goals may have changed and we may have based our goals on what others wanted for us.

It took me a month to clear my head from voices- friends, family, media, facebook. And suddenly while lying in bed, sick with tontilitus, I let go of everything. It didn’t matter anymore what people thought of me. All I had was myself and a divine peace.

I had to live for myself, for what makes me feel alive.

I have decided.

I want to be a rock star.

I’m going to dance and sing on stage. Because when I’m fully expressing myself, that’s when my head completely clears of the stupid ugly self-criticizing voice. That’s when everyone else fades and I am completely in the now.

Why It’s Important to Trust People – DUH

On October 11, 2014 By Rebekka LienIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Learning to trust may not be an easy thing.

Learning to trust yourself, trust the universe, trust in your friends, trust people, trust a bus driver that almost crashed into another car, or fell asleep at the wheel, trusting that while today might not be your last day on this earth, you’ll be alright. Life is much easier when you can learn to trust people. I did not grow up trusting people, I was told to trust myself and God. People were not included in the equation. I learned to do everything myself, but realized that I became sort of a control freak.

Now it’s not always easy to let go and to trust people, but it’s always important to trust that you are trustworthy enough that you attract trustworthy people. Now, there’s something about asking for help, whether it’s at a hostel or on a street and simply being vulnerable that allows others to help you. It’s also important, if you believe in a higher power, that that higher power nudges at people and gives people the desire to help you. So actually, nothing on this earth is done without people. People are always in the equation, unless some house falls from the sky and provides shelter for you, you will always have to deal and work with people.

This means you can’t be a hermit, you’ll have to trust people you do business with, people you talk to or ask for directions, people who cooks your food, people who drives the metro, etc. Once you are out the door, you are constantly having complete certainty that you will not flip over and fall into some abyss, because you have faith that reality is real.

Heady Beats in London

On October 3, 2014October 3, 2014 By Rebekka LienIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Losing all sense of time, relevance

I’m here, somewhere else, not home, not what people would call home, conventions

stupid faith

incredible, incredulous, abnormal, alien, faith

which causes me to tread waters, wipe out tornadoes, words landing like volcano remains, falling

Like a Mario character jumping past, on and destroying creatures with wide open jagged mouths

I have dark eyeshadows and leather pants

Like a mystical force

Let no thoughts of worry or lack enter your mind, because as you dwell longer on that thought, will it slowly come to pass. Shut it down. Focus and dwell on that which is good, positive, life giving, abundant, loving. Think about these things without wavering, even with stupid faith. So stupid when it comes to pass, people will wonder why and how.

Make A Vow To Stop Re-posting and Sharing Fear Based News

On September 9, 2014 By Rebekka LienIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

If you want to make this world a better place, please join me in making a VOW to stop re-posting and sharing FEAR BASED news.

If you agree and want to commit to your own wellbeing, success, and growth, please reblog this post or share this on your social media. I realized that a lot of Facebook posts, shares are rather negative. There are crazy stories of how people die, about disease, criminals, etc. I’m not saying that we should be unaware of these news, but we are propagating a culture of where we would rather talk about negative news versus encourage goodness in this world.

How about positive quotes, encouraging posts, posts about people helping others, dreams, etc.

I recorded this right when it was raining in Los Angeles. I know it’s unbelievable, but because of my commitment to my word, I am going to London in 2 weeks, I’ll be living this miraculous life of love. If you haven’t checked out my Ebook, please do!

Quotes of the week:

“Whatever energy you emit, that energy will come back to you. For example, some people are so in their own head that everything that a waiter does is disrespectful, but if you thank them with utmost respect, they’ll treat you the same. It’s not all about you, sometimes people are going through a bad day and all you have to do is see that it’s not about you.”

“Don’t try to figure out “how”, trust your desires, have faith you are in the right place at the right place and everything will be revealed to you as you go”

“Word for today. Your inheritance, your destiny is here. All that you have been striving for, you can rest now, you can stop trying. It’ already yours, you inherited it not because of what you did, but because of WHO YOU ARE. Know, accept and live in the POWER within. It’s all in you. Nothing that you are trying to achieve is outside of you, it’s all WITHIN YOU. The abundance of life is here (symbolized by rain after a long drought). For some, you have been like me, feeling repressed, like creativity and expression is waiting to burst forth. It is here, there is nothing to wait for. Your breakthrough is here today, start counting your blessings, be thankful for what you have been wanting to accomplish and do in life, be thankful for the people you want to be around,,,,they’re already here. Start dancing and celebrating, the season is here. It’s a season of permanence and power. Stop hoping, stop wishing, do it in power, it’s coming to you!”

Love, Rebekka

The Beautiful Mind of a Traveler

On August 7, 2014 By Rebekka LienIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

OKAY!

It’s official, Europe, get ready for me.

A few weeks ago, I was SUPER antsy to travel again and life was getting a bit mundane for this traveler. I pictured myself under the Eiffel tower. You see, a few years ago, I went to Europe, but only got to go to France, Germany and Austria. And then for some mysterious reasons, all my pictures of PARIS disappeared. My memory card refused to budge, Paris was lost forever. In my attempt to recapture the notion of love and romance, I am going back to Paris and a few more cities in Europe.

Now, I know a lot of you out there think travel is impossible because it’s supposed to be really expensive. However, it’s actually not. I got a one way to London from LAX for $407 tax included. Try Norwegian.com, cheapest flights ever.

Well, you’re asking, what will I be doing there?

1. Traveling

2. Blogging about my trip

3. Creating videos, whether it be informational or creative/artsy

4. Building my brand and creating connections

5. Writing

I want to capture my trip and show you that travel is not impossible and it doesn’t have to be expensive….every time I travel I notice that much has changed about me, but little has changed back home.

If you haven’t, like my fan page!

Love Tenderly

Paris

Under the twinkling lights, the lights I found my inspiration and muse.

Your kiss slow and tender, as we lay on the grass, soaking in the summer air. I find myself under the slope which takes me to Paris, city of Romance, city of love…romance can’t be just with a man. Romance is the act of seeing life as art, as a creation of an artwork, beautiful, unpractical, it’s being nice to yourself, it’s learning to breathe, to love yourself and every particle of yourself and others that isn’t perfect…it’s learning to smell and breathe, to love the flowers that bloom, brightly, imperfect, sweet.

As I venture forth, I grin and fly free.

I do this, without reason, to come alive, for myself, selfishly, truly, freely. Without reason, without practicality, because life is worth living.

You have to take life with a smile, a laugh, with not too much pressure on yourself to get things right, you have to cheer up, jump, skip if you have to. You have to grasp each moment and let the sun bake your skin dry. You have to fly freely, feeling each moment with gusto.

If it hurts, you continue forth, letting go freely. As I enter the mode of transportation, saying goodbye, I let all pain slip into the past. I’m free, free. No longer someones’ somebody, and it’s okay to cry. It’s okay to feel. It’s okay to let go of practicalities, realities and become the princess in the fairy tale.

It’s okay to disappear for awhile, to shut down, it’s okay to breathe and sink into the grass.
