Grieving The Death of Robin Williams

On August 12, 2014August 12, 2014 By Rebekka LienIn philosophyLeave a comment

I am personally grieved to hear about the news of Robin Williams’ death. When I first came to America, I remember the first movie I watched was the one where he acted as a doctor (Patch Adams). It really cheered me up and I realized that laughter can heal people…I also know that whether it is true or not, if he did kill himself, that it is easy for people to overlook depression. I know that it is easy to grow up with a smile on your face and have a leaking heart. Remember to be vulnerable, to share, to laugh and to cry when you have to. Remember that it is okay to have a frown on your face, but to be okay sharing that side of who you are. You don’t have to be perfect.

Quotes from Robin, I want to cry….so sad.

No matter what people you, words and ideas can change the world:

I left school and couldn’t find acting work, so I started going to clubs where you could do stand-up. I’ve always improvised, and stand-up was this great release. All of a sudden, it was just me and the audience.

When you look at Prince Charles, don’t you think that someone in the Royal family knew someone in the Royal family?

You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.

Seize the DAY- whatever day God has given you, seize it with greatness, live it to the fullest!

5 Keys To Reaching Your Goals

On August 9, 2014August 9, 2014 By Rebekka LienIn entrepreneur, travel4 Comments

work

My work position is lying on my couch with my legs over the arm of the couch.

1. Work backwards-

Always work backwards. When I have an idea, I usually won’t follow through unless I give myself a set deadline, buy the flight ticket, set my intention into motion. I see the end result in my minds’ eye, I see myself in it…I guess it helps that I am an artist so imagining something is not difficult for me. I have always had a vivid imagination. When I was young, I often imagined myself jumping on things like a little mario character, I imagined I could fly. Well, due to gravity, that hasn’t happened yet, but I do often fly on planes and I love it!

It’s funny because after 3 years of trial and error, lots of shed tears, anxiety, stress at times and ups and downs, I’ve finally mastered the art of BYOB (being my own boss). There is definitely a personal formula….number 1 is to work backwards.

For my last workshop, I designed the flier and set the date before I even found a venue. I put my dreams into motion by emailing sponsors to donate gift bag items, I had a number in mind and well, there weren’t as many people as I would have hoped, but I know they were the ones that were supposed to be there.

KEY: Don’t wait until you have perfected it, just do it and you’ll do it better next time.

2. Talk About It-

Talk about it constantly, talk about it as if you ARE doing it. When people get excited for you, you will feel encouraged and start embodying your dreams and goals. Of course, don’t feed your dreams to pigs, some people just don’t appreciate a weird dreamer.

3. Fill In The Details-

Once you have the date, fill in the details….what do you need to do to get there? What needs to happen step by step? Write a list and start tackling them.

4. Research How Others Have Done It-

Anything you’ve ever wanted to do, someone else has already gone before you. Why try to brainstorm a million things when you can simply google and find #hacks which is super popular these days…from #lifehack to #workhack to #travelhack.

5. Treat Yourself Like You’ve Already Accomplished It – You really have to be a little psychotic to achieve your goals. For example a few months ago, well, actually ever since I had this wall decal of Paris on my wall, I’ve been antsy to travel again. I exit the United States once a year just to breathe a little and to expand my personal well-being.

I met this amazing author, writer of Remember The Future: How Steve Jobs Used Time Travel To Think Different. Under his inspiration of wanting to go to Italy to create a film in 2 months, I then was like WHAT THE FUCK am I doing in LA? I need to travel again!

I must have talked about the trip at least 3 times a day. My obsession became so ridiculous that I prayed “I want to go travel so bad that I know it will happen”. I’m scary when I’m obsessed. I’m really really scary. I go into google mode and pound that keyboard with tenacity. I can be on this thing for hours just googling my eyes away….well research and enough asking, I found a cheap one way.

So now that I’m at step 200, the pieces are slowly falling into place. In fact, because I was like- I’m going and I don’t care if I go with however much money, I will go and I will go. I will DO whatever it takes….and that my friends, that’s obsession. Alas, because of my obsession, soon after I made that statement, more income started coming my way in ways that I had not expected. I know that the universe is watching how I take care of myself, am I hard on myself or do I give myself a pat on the back? You see, you need to celebrate and treat yourself like you’ve already accomplished it….this allows a flow of positive and easy energy versus the energy of anxiety and striving. With ease, your goals can be reached. In fact, all things will rush to you to supply your every need.

That is why I want to start logging my hours for work….starting tomorrow. I want to show you how you can work A LOT less and maximize your time for HIGHER income.

Oh and did I mention, I’m giving away a total of 10 FREE coaching sessions for anyone that LIKES my page and SHARES the free coaching flier with your facebook friends?

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.

Love Tenderly

On August 3, 2014 By Rebekka LienIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

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.

Hi Entrepreneurs, Artists, Creators, Business mavens!

Sign up now for your spot at THE PASADENA, LOS ANGELES exclusive Entrepreneur Workshop: How To Make Money Doing What You Love.

3 years ago I walked away from a steady paycheck, health insurance and a table I had to sit at for 8 hours a day.

What resulted was 1-2 years of eating kale and rice, lots of fun appearing on TV, building furnitures from the streets, selling jewelry from my living room and a wine box and NEVER going back to the normalities of 9 to 5 life.

I backpacked in Ecuador, Brazil, Australia and Taiwan in the 3 years I have been self-employed. Previously, I visited Japan teaching English, Europe teaching art, and well, who said travel had to be expensive?

Long story short, I want to show you how you can make a living doing what you love……

In fact, I BELIEVE in dreams so much that I am living it. In 2 months I will be going to Paris, not knowing how YET. I will be backpacking throughout Europe and recording videos and writing about my whole trip. I’m a princess in my own fairy tale.

It’s about LIVING versus making a living.

I’m here to share with you how I got to where I am.

Got fears? Don’t we all, let me walk you OUT of fear and into YOUR DREAM LIFE.

Ready to take the plunge?

Seeing Work as A Conduit Of Love

As I drove past traffic in the LA highways, I thought about what the communal energy was. The energy was probably that of stress- “I have to get to work on time, I am stuck in traffic, I have to pay my bills, work sucks, etc”.

What if we thought about our work as a conduit of love? What if we actually did what we love out of a pure energy of love…and we refused to compromise our values for money? Recently, I started teaching yoga and meditation and spoke at 3 different events this month. I taught young teens how to start their own business and I was genuinely shocked by how easy teaching a big group of people was for me. I felt pure love and expansion in my heart for these mere strangers. I thought about how strange it was that even though I was not getting paid for it, my heart felt strong and powerful. I also noticed that as I teach out of pure love of wanting to help others, I have been receiving more monetarily and even getting more opportunities to expand.

That’s when I realized that pure love makes money flow with ease and grace. Money is not apart from love, actually money is one way in which we can love others and show them that they are worthy of their talents and skills. When our greed and selfishness for gain gets in the way, our relationships are also distorted. Business is crooked because we start to focus more on the money than on the people that we are doing business with. That is why you see very successful people with horrible relationships, but also people who are poor also have jaded values of what money means. Some people think that money is evil, no, it is the greed that is evil. When we put money above people, that is evil.

In my life, I have studied people, finance, spirituality, growth and everything I have ever been interested in. I sold jewelry, taught lessons, did real estate, wrote for newspapers and magazines, improv-ed, appeared on television, was a marketing manager, instructor, musician, artist, business woman..I danced a lot and took all kinds of classes (flamenco, acting, creative writing, german…to name a few).

My goal was to become successful, and I also wanted to help people. At one point, I found myself wanting money more than helping people. My greed got in the way of my heart. I became constricted and fearful that people were going to rip me off because as a freelancer I have had many people rip me off. I have designed and created fashion pieces only to have the woman never pay me. I have learned from my mistakes in my lifetime of playing music for weddings and people not pay me a cent. I have experienced injustice towards the young, people taking advantage of interns because they are supposedly inexperienced and are not worth the money.

In having experienced many things in my lifetime, I can say I am more in tune with how it feels to live in fear or love. When you live in fear of “people are going to jip me”, “I won’t have enough for bills this month”, “business stinks”, you will often feel physically constricted. Your neck will hurt, you will become sick, you will experience stomachaches, you will grow angry at the world and some people start to blame everyone around them instead of taking responsibility.

The fact is, you need to know whatever you want needs to be cultivated in your soul first. You must know that you are worthy. You must know that you deserve a certain amount, you must know that everything that needs and wants to be expressed in the external world first begins internally.

You must have faith as well. You must keep trusting and believing when times gets tough and your dreams have not come into fruition. You must keep envisioning and believing when there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. You must also know that the dream is not the end goal, but the journey is. The journey is the people you walk with and the people you love on in that season of life. You experience an abundance of love when you see life as a spiritual path versus an end goal.

Yesterday I experienced a flow of genuine love between a friend I have known for 10 years. I felt that our friendship had endured the test of time due to the fact that our friendship has been pure, without manipulation or this guilt tripping of “I give to you so you must give to me”. In giving out of unconditional love (with boundaries of course), we were able to walk through thick and thin. Over the years, I have learned to forgive easily and to let go gracefully. There are friends you keep and there are friends you must let go of so you can walk towards greater heights.

Work then, is a conduit of our love. The world is interconnected in all regards. One person’s thoughts create the energy around them. Do you ever wonder why you walk into a room and feel sick to your stomach, someone has tainted the room with their negativity. You can become an agent of change by remembering to live in love. What does that look like? Search and you will find, continue to read my blog of course 😉 and continue to read, learn, experience what love looks like. I’m here with you in this journey 🙂
