The Wealth Within

The Affidian Story I’m sure you’ve wondered or even googled “Affidian.”

Affidian is a word that is truly very dear to me.

You see, Affidian means Infinity - or at least that’s what its intentions were.

When my son was just ten months old, we moved to the lovely island of Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands. My FH [former husband] was in the hospitality business, which required several relocations over the years.

My son, Sergio, is my firstborn, and so as a new mother, I got to enjoy so much fun quality time with him.

Every afternoon after our nap, we’d sit and watch TV, whichever children’s show was on then, and have a bowl of popcorn.

We would take afternoon strolls on the beach with our dog, Elsa, a beautiful Rottweiler, a gift from the FM. And, of course, we played all sorts of games.

One of our favorite games was the “I Love You’ game. You know the one: Me: I love you.

Him: I love you more.

Me: I love you to the sky.

Him: I love you to the moon.

Me: I love you to the stars Him: I love you to Affidian.

Me: What???

Since he was just learning to talk, he mispronounced Infinity - his I Love You to Infinity and Beyond, became I Love You to Affidian. I laughed so hard because he was so cute and sure of himself. So the game switched to I Love you to Affidian and Beyond.

In 2009, we once more relocated and moved to South Florida. I was guided to start a marketing business and publish The Dance Magazine of Florida, and while considering a name for my company, I finally settled on Affidian Incorporated. This year, 2023, after several adjustments to find the right name for this new lifestyle magazine, I figured, why not Affidian - since the content is to inspire us to move to Affidian [Infinity- expansion and growth] and go beyond [our limited beliefs and habits].

Message /// From the Editors Desk

As we bid farewell to another year and eagerly await the dawn of a new one, we find ourselves at the crossroads of excitement for renewal and the occasional whispers of confusion and doubt of a past year unfulfilled.

Every year, we launch into it with positive anticipation and the best of intentions. However, as the months unfold, we often find ourselves entangled in daily routines, losing sight of the grand aspirations we set for ourselves.

I get you. The journey of yearning for more, the desire for something greater, and then, somewhere along the way, feeling lost in life’s twists and turns. It’s a sentiment I’m familiar with.

How about we make 2024 a different story? How about you find your quiet place amongst all the noise?

I’ve crafted two unique opportunities tailor-made just for you.

First- The Affidian Innovator Leadership Network serves as a platform for individuals with a product, service, or message looking to broaden their reach. By becoming a contributing writer on the AffidianMagazine.com platform, this membership opportunity provides invaluable support and guidance, enabling you to excel in your respective industry and connect with a global audience.

Sincerely

Wishing you much . . .

Love, Light & Laughter.

Third - When I decided to start a family, my goal was simple. I wanted to be available for my children. I intentionally structured my businesses around their needs and schedules.

Dr. Karina G. Felix

Determining not to miss any part of my family’s journey led me to become a serial entrepreneur. With each change and relocation, I found the opportunity to reinvent myself, adapt, and fearlessly embrace the next challenge.

My goal was straightforward—I aspired to be a semi-stay-at-home mom. However, I also found immense joy in the creative process that work offered. Striking that balance became essential for me.

The franchise system I’m crafting is unparalleled. The support, nurturing, and guidance I offer extend from my desire to see you not just survive but thrive. This is as much about making money as forming an alliance with like-minded, conscious leaders to collectively bring positive change to their community and the world.

Now that my children have reached adulthood, I’m redirecting my goals and intentions.

Hence, I’ve chosen to introduce Affidian Magazine Franchise as a viable business opportunity. It’s a chance for others to attain self-employment, ensure financial security, and relish the freedom to pursue what brings them joy—whether it’s remote work from anywhere in the world, the flexibility to be available for family, or the ability to set their own daily hours.

Affidian Magazine - December ‘23/January ‘24

Join me in creating a life that aligns with your values and aspirations. Let’s make 2024 the year you not only dream but truly get to live your best life!

Carol Pilkington Spiritual Counselor

By Dr. Karina Felix

In the realm of personal and psycho/spiritual development, Carol stands as a guiding force, unraveling mental knots and fostering clarity amidst life’s complexities. However, her journey to becoming a transformative storyteller and entrepreneur is woven with threads of self-discovery, rooted in a childhood marked by longing and a profound spiritual awakening.

menced in 1980 with the EST Training, later evolving into the Landmark Forum. Despite valuable insights into personal responsibility, the spiritual depth she sought remained elusive.

A decade later, a pivotal meeting with a Jungian therapist and metaphysician set her on a transformative path, rediscovering and integrating her true nature of Being Love.

Growing up in Central Islip, NY, Carol found herself surrounded by adults, yearning for a connection with her older sister, a figure of intellectual prowess. Despite her desire for closeness, a sense of alienation lingered, leaving her feeling like an outsider in a world where she quietly observed the ebb and flow of life. It was a silent struggle against the backdrop of daily life that shaped her inquisitive nature—one that distinguishes her from mere curiosity, as she delves into the profound questions of existence.

Rejecting the compartmentalization of life into personal, business, and spiritual realms, Carol emphasizes her consistent identity as a human being. Discipline, patience, and perseverance became her allies as she navigated the challenges of beliefs and fears during her studies and training.

As a practitioner, Carol extends deep compassion to those who, like her, embark on the journey of self-discovery. Her teachings revolve around unraveling mental knots, clearing confusion, and enabling discerning decision-making. Ideal clients are those business owners and executives yearning for a more meaningful life, seeking fulfillment beyond material success.

An unexpected shift occurred between the ages of eight and ten when Carol experienced what she describes as a “download from Spirit.” Bathed in profound love that transcended personal attachments, she realized the fundamental truth that she, and all of humanity, are intrinsically Love. This awakening prompted a conscious choice to experiment with her reality, transforming her habitual morning grumpiness into cheerful greetings, altering the course of her days.

Looking to the future, Carol envisions creating online courses and establishing a membership platform, broadening the impact of her teachings. Her long-term dream involves fostering a collective shift in consciousness, encouraging individuals to seek guidance aligned with their innate nature.

However, this profound realization did not shield Carol from the harsh realities of the world. Witnessing anger, sadness, and cruelty among people left her grappling with the incongruity of a world supposedly rooted in Love. The sorrow lingered, fueling her quest for a deeper understanding of spirituality and humanity.

In conclusion, Carol’s journey—from a quiet observer in her childhood to a transformative practitioner today—stands as a testament to the power of self-discovery and the unwavering pursuit of spiritual understanding. Read Carol’s full interview at http://AffidianMagazine.com/spotlight.

Reflection /// Inspire Hope

How to Inspire Hope Despite Doubt.

Written by: David Ehrlich

Belief in one’s mental fortitude or worthiness of success may take much reflection and trial and error and can be constantly tested. Cera et al. (2013) examined a likely overlooked factor, metacognition, and its relation to self-efficacy and corresponding attitudes toward learning. According to the authors, metacognition entails awareness and regulation of the process underlying how one breaks down or synthesizes information meaningfully.

through direct involvement and intentionality in an outcome.

Students can attribute success to effort rather than chance.

Awareness of one’s very awareness is essential for self-efficacy.

A clear foundation can increase confidence even through setbacks since there is some direction to revert to and build off.

Students with high self-efficacy embrace challenging academic pursuits, while low self-efficacy correlates with negative perceptions of learning. The latter may influence high pressure to achieve if students appraise failure as indicative of their inherent inabilities. Conversely, students with metacognitive skills are more open to feedback. This high self-efficacy appears to be driven by intrinsic purpose, resulting in behaviors reflective of one’s drive.

Students can maximize their proficiency by developing a framework for processing information suitable to their natural tendencies and thus relate to and engage with the learning process. Understanding one’s foundation can develop a better sense of self and confidence in their path toward a goal. When I doubt myself or feel lost, I have found that remembering my dedication has reminded me of my foundation for success.

Students high in self-efficacy appear more open to potential setbacks because they embrace the process more than the outcome. These students can recognize their strengths alongside weaknesses due to confidence built through metacognition.

These behaviors reinforce the self-efficacy missing in students who lack it and do not acknowledge their strengths, a self-fulfilling prophecy confirming limiting beliefs.

Metacognition involves deeper processing because it entails awareness of the steps and logic involved in cognizing information effectively, which entails what Cera et al., 2013 regard as “knowledge about the person.” This may entail awareness of one’s preference practical examples. Self-efficacy is belief in one’s competence to fulfill necessary behaviors and mindsets A mastery mindset, or the desire to develop and effectively apply a successful strategy, is found to drive self-efficacy more than an outcome.

Relating to individual needs and challenges has many applications such as to mental health and workplace productivity.

Adopting personal responsibility through self-belief is a message many people can benefit from due to its intrinsic nature.

Belief comes from faith in one’s unique path. While goals without action do not come to fruition, changing core beliefs is likewise necessary for action to challenge the narrative one lives by.

Source: Cera et al., 2013, Mancini, & Antonietti

Developing strategies provides students a sense of agency in learning. This process may entail introspection and creativity which provide concrete evidence of one’s capacities. Students understandably develop a sense of agency to combat self-doubt Affidian Magazine - December ‘23/January ‘24

Word of the Year /// Intentions

Unleash The Power of the ’

q ‘Word of the Year q

By Dr. Karina Felix

Choosing a ‘Word of the Year’ is more than just a selection; it’s an anchor for your aspirations and a means to hold yourself accountable to achieve your deepest desires and goals. This word serves as a guiding star, a lens through which you view your journey throughout the year. It’s not merely a word but a theme, a mantra, an embodiment of the change and growth you seek.

assist our audience in realizing the lifestyle they aspire to live.

Let’s delve deeper into the power this word holds. When you select a guiding word, you’re not merely making a casual choice. It’s a deliberate act, an affirmation of the direction you wish your life to take. This word acts as a compass, directing your thoughts, actions, and decisions toward a particular destination.

Moreover, a guiding word creates a sense of purpose. It acts as a silent motivator, a constant reminder of the changes you wish to manifest. It shapes your intentions, creating a framework for your actions and nudging you to make decisions that resonate with your chosen theme.

Accountability often goes hand in hand with commitment.

Your chosen word becomes a commitment to yourself. It’s a promise to honor your intentions and aspirations. This accountability nudges you towards alignment, encouraging you to make choices that echo the essence of your word.

The beauty lies in the word’s flexibility. It’s not confined to a specific resolution or a rigid goal.

Instead, it offers a broad perspective, a theme that can be applied to various facets of your life. It becomes a touchstone that keeps you aligned with your desires, no matter how complex or varied they may be.

yourself.

Follow these guidelines: • Choose a powerful “Word of the Year” that deeply resonates with your aspirations and goals.

• Print and display this word in visible spots at home, in your car, and at work.

• Use this visual reminder to stay focused on your chosen theme throughout the year.

• Embrace this intentional practice to witness its positive impact on directing your life.

• Post your 2024 “Word of the Year” on our Facebook and LinkedIn pages and engage with our audience.

Last year, my word of the year was “Enhance.” It reflected a belief that the answers we seek are already within us, embedded in our spiritual DNA. The task is to trigger their motion into reality.

In 2023, I expanded upon ‘Enhance’ and added the words “Impact and Transform.” These words became the mantra, the ethos that guided both my personal and professional aspirations.

Our ultimate journey is to Enhance, Impact, and Transform our own lives and those of the people we serve. And so Affidian Magazine became The Source for Enhancing, Impacting and Transforming Lifestyles, Globally. Therefore, we provide guidance, educational resources, and informative content to www.AffidianMagazine.com

Choosing a guiding word isn’t just a fleeting action; it’s an ongoing dialogue you have with yourself throughout the year. It’s a reminder of the journey you’re embarking upon, a beacon guiding you towards your desired outcomes. It’s a commitment, an intention, and a promise you make to

In the end, the power of a guiding word isn’t solely in the word itself, but in the transformation it ignites within you. It’s a tool to deepen self-reflection, to steer growth, and to create a life that aligns with your deepest goals and desires.

not control the outcome of anything. Yet we do everything in our power to do exactly that. We think, think, think, and do more thinking about all the what-if scenarios of what could go wrong. This ongoing thinking used to cause me such anxiety, and it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest every morning when I woke up; I felt paralyzed.

The dread of what the day would bring and all the what-if I couldn’t control was exhausting and kept me in constant fear of the unknown.

Nonetheless, a constant sense of unease permeated my being.

I’ve carried this feeling since my earliest memories, through my formative years and into adulthood. I worried about what people thought of me; I worried about my teachers picking on me and not having the correct answers.

As I committed to raising my own consciousness, I realized the necessity of deeply exploring the roots of my fears and anxiety. With persistent effort, what initially appeared as an insurmountable mountain gradually became more manageable. Each time I successfully shed old belief systems, the grip of fear weakened, granting me the courage to delve even further into uncovering and addressing deeper layers of my concerns.

I harbored a fear of simply being out in the world, perceiving it as an unsafe place, although I couldn’t understand why. My life was relatively normal, de-

ing the ability to shape the narratives surrounding my experiences. Understanding my creative influence, I recognized the potential to be intentional about crafting my envisioned future. Embracing this authority, aided by the more extensive consciousness system, whether perceived as God, Spirit, or any other, I discovered the liberty to manifest nearly anything I imagined. By creating without attachment to outcomes or the opinions of others, I found a sense of freedom.

My creations were driven by joy, and the sheer act of creating for myself and the benefits that transcended to others was a welcomed bonus. It became evident that my creative process was solely for myself, unaffected by external opinions or judgments, thus remaining true to my authentic self.

Mary Jane Charles: Easing the Path for Peace of Mind.

By Dr. Karina Felix

In the world of end-of-life planning and estate management, Mary Jane Charles shines as a beacon of hope and practicality. Mary Jane has dedicated the last eight years to ensuring that individuals and families navigate what can be seen as a daunting task: gathering one’s final wishes and detailed instructions all in one place!

She’s the guiding force behind “Last Wishes’ n Support”, known affectionately as “The Last Wishes Facilitator.” In this role, Mary Jane provides a unique and compassionate approach to this critical portion of life and legacy planning.

In this exclusive feature of the December-January issue of The Affidian Magazine, we focus on Mary Jane Charles, a woman who experienced “the abyss” of not having any of her spouse’s essential final documents upon his sudden passing in 2015.

Mary Jane Charles’, nicknamed MJ, life has been a tapestry of diverse experiences. Born in Brooklyn in the early 50s, her family relocated to Long Is-

www.AffidianMagazine.com

land, New York; this included her four significantly older siblings and their grandfather.

With Irish roots on both sides, the household upheld cherished Irish traditions, embracing storytelling, valuing education, and maintaining unwavering faith. Festive gatherings of nieces and nephews enriched holidays, wakes, and weddings.

The tragic passing of her first husband due to ALS at the young age of 27 triggered MJ’s rapid transition to maturity. During the 1970s, the concept of “final papers” was far from common. Wills were predominantly seen as documents reserved for the elderly.

Even though she and her husband had conversations about their wishes, nothing was ever formally documented or signed.

There was an assumption that the family would honor his wishes and her promise to uphold their mutual agreement. However, reality didn’t align with this assumption. This initial encounter with final wishes left a lasting imprint on her.

21

Having encountered this circumstance once again, MJ realized the significance of knowing and possessing all the pertinent information about her spouse’s health, medications, and documentation for everything from vehicle and home papers to household bills and banking details.

Having discovered that 85% of her daily angst and frustration during that time stemmed from avoidable uncertainties, it became a compelling call to action. She believed and now knows that no one, particularly women, should ever live through the fear, uncertainty, and confusion of unexpected circumstances over which they have no control or say.

This time, MJ managed to transform a series of challenging events into a valuable learning opportunity. She had a clear vision seeing this confusion and transforming it into a learning experience. The piles of paper on her dining room table related to the so-called estate she inherited became chapters of ideas and insight. And thus, a book was born of this uncertain time in her life’s journey.

Affidian Magazine

MJ harnessed this realization and the accompanying insights, crafting them into the outline of a book. Her first published book - “Surviving the Business of Dying, Why Final Papers Matter” was published after the estate finally closed 18 months later.

Motivated by the necessity to start afresh, MJ embarked on a journey to San Francisco. She often likens this new phase of her life to her “Mary Tyler Moore” days, drawing parallels to the television show where a young, independent woman resides in Minneapolis and lives independently.

It was a significant time of change.

When she arrived, she resumed using her maiden name, found an apartment and a job, and completed her B.S. within two years at the University of San Francisco.

She currently resides just outside Raleigh, NC. In the course of her life and career, Mary Jane faced obstacles like anyone else. However, she persevered, often noting, “I won’t do that again!” Despite occasional moments of self-doubt, she refused to yield, embracing a “have nothing to lose” mindset. Her resilience is sustained by humor, a knack for landing on her feet, and a steadfast belief in herself, guiding her through most challenges.

A critical turning point in her career arrived with the choice to transition full-time into writing. Despite excelling as a bookkeeper for 20 years, a field she was adept in but lacked passion for, she recognized the significance of pursuing

Her book, “Surviving the Business of Dying, Why Final Papers Matter,” earned a “Finalist” award in its genre at the 2019 International Bookfest, garnering praise for her narrative. However, in response to inquiries on how and where

MJ emphasizes, “It’s not just for you; it’s for the ones you leave behind - the ones you love. Document the everyday details of your life and gather them in one place.” Her accompanying workbook acts as the centralized location to consolidate these details.

The “Surviving the Business of Dying, Why Final Papers Matter” workbook is meant to be shared with one or two trusted individuals, ensuring that those responsible for carrying out the last wishes can find comfort and guidance within these essential pages. They are directions meant to be followed precisely as instructed.

Crafting a straightforward process for individuals in need of compiling last wishes, whether for themselves or assisting a loved one, proved to be a valuable gift in hindsight. Recognizing her ability to aid others in real-time with clarity and profound empathy, this venture evolved into a coaching and personal growth business. This passage has taken her to new geographical places and led to significant personal development.

MJ’s journey emerged as a heartfelt odyssey, one that echoed the universal dread of facing life’s abyss without essential documents. Her story became a beacon, guiding readers through the emotional turmoil of grappling with unexpected circumstances, drawing empathy, and igniting a shared passion for preparedness and foresight.

Reimagination /// Modern Myths

Charting a New Narrative:

Reimagining Our Story with Modern Myths Our Stories Shape Who We Are

We desperately need a vision beyond war and destruction

By Nandini Gosine-Mayhroo Every aspect of our lives - our humanity, or we can argue our lack of it - is a reflection of the stories we have weaved over the millennia we have existed on Earth. The stories that have influenced, and which continue to influence Western thought the most, are the Greek myths. Think of the symbols, names and images that form our culture: the Olympic Games; brand names such as Pandora, Hermès, Nike; the Apollo Space Program; the Zodiac astrological symbols; names of sports teams around the world; movies like Hercules, Spartacus, Clash of the Titans….and much more, are all derived from Greek mythology.

The patriarchal mindset of Ancient Greece, that women were for marrying, bearing children and keeping house, has therefore greatly influenced how we view the world now. Yes, Greek Goddesses were plenty, but for all their immortality and power, they too were oppressed. But what does any of this have to do with war?

If we think of generally accepted masculine and feminine traits, we obviously see the clear delineation that defines how we view men and women. Women are seen as gentle, empathetic and sensitive while men are seen as strong, brave, assertive and importantly - as leaders. War is the assertion and force of one over another. Ares, the Greek God of war, was known to be brutal and bloodthirsty, embodying the most terrifying aspects of war.

This mythology was written by men, for men, in their pursuit of asserting themselves as superiors, assertive leaders. The mythology inevitably contains the suppression of women and in turn, the feminine traits of empathy and compassion.

Would our world be different if our myths were written by women? Would stories of compassion and empathy shape a

Affidian Magazine - December ‘23/January ‘24

26

very different world to the one we share now? Would women as leaders, the bodies through whom life is birthed, pursue wide scale death?

In Roman mythology, which is some one thousand years younger than Greek mythology, Mars is the God of War. Mars was known for taking a more measured approach to warfare than his Greek counterpart. Still, to Romans, the God of War was seen as second only to Jupiter, the king of all Gods.

Art, as always, provides us with hope. Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée, an 18th century French artist, gifted us a beautiful ray of hope in his rendition of Mars et Vénus, Allégorie sur la Paix (Mars and Venus, Allegory of Peace). In Roman mythology, Venus is the Goddess of love, sex, beauty and fertility - her Greek counterpart being Aphrodite. These Goddesses represent the beautiful feminine, the embodiment of every feminine virtue.

Lagrenée depicts Mars and Venus as having made love. As Mars draws the drapes to let in the light, he gazes at Venus, enthralled by her beauty. His sword, shield and helmet lay on the floor. Mars, and the accoutrements of war, have been conquered by Venus’s love. Two doves, symbols of peace, build a nest in Mars’s helmet.

This is the power of the feminine and the power of the love embodied by the feminine. This is the power that has been suppressed and which now needs its voice to be amplified.

How can we do this? How do we write new myths that shape who we are?

We, men and women, do that by firstly acknowledging that there is a dire need for change. Then we become agents for that change in actively unlearning the stories we have been told.

We begin by unlearning every aspect of our conditioning that

www.AffidianMagazine.com

Reimagination /// Modern Myths has ensured we see ourselves as separate from one another. Importantly we need to cease seeing ourselves as embodying opposing characteristics depending on our gender. We begin by understanding that each gender embodies both masculine and feminine traits but that the expression of these traits - particularly that of the feminine in men - has been heavily suppressed by societal conditioning.

We have been nurtured on patriarchal myths, but it would be a mistake to replace them with matriarchal ones. Either extreme is not helpful.

Can we imagine a future where masculine and feminine traits are perfectly balanced in each of us? Can we imagine a world in which each of us understands when empathy and compassion is necessary and when assertiveness and leadership must be pursued? And importantly, can we imagine a world where assertiveness and leadership do not forsake compassion and empathy? Perhaps this is the ultimate goal of our evolution as a species but as with all growth and change, our path there is very messy.

We need this change now and we create that change by telling ourselves new stories. We are in control of the stories we choose to believe. Let us write new myths now.

A Teacher’s Journey/// Entrepreneurship

A Teacher’s Journey from Empty Nester To Entrepreneurial Triumph

By Lori Robinson Life has a way of throwing unexpected curveballs at us when we least expect it. I, a dedicated teacher with nearly three decades of experience in the public school system, found myself facing a challenging period of medical leave that forced me to reevaluate my life’s trajectory. My story is one of transformation, self-discovery, and unwavering faith in God. My journey from disappointment to entrepreneurial success showcases the incredible power of resilience and self-discovery.

A Sudden Shift in Life I had spent 28 years as an educator, pouring my heart and soul into shaping young minds. I was a devoted mother who had single-handedly raised my children, guiding them toward bright futures in university. As my adult children embarked on their own paths, I found myself in a unique phase of life—an empty nester.

and a clear vision for my future as an entrepreneur. It was during this event that I found my true calling.

Treasured Sweets and Treats In August 2017, I opened my home bakery, “Treasured Sweets and Treats.” My passion for baking and creating delicious treats fueled my entrepreneurial endeavor. However, the road was not without its challenges. Managing the financial aspects of my business was a steep learning curve, but it allowed me to become seriously aware of my finances. My journey toward financial freedom began.

However, life had a different plan in store for me. In a twist of fate, my health took a turn for the worse, forcing me onto an unexpected medical leave that would last for over two years.

It was a challenging period in my life, filled with uncertainty and questions about the future.

Personal Growth and Self-Discovery My entrepreneurial journey wasn’t just about financial independence. It was also a path to self-awareness, self-appreciation, and self-love. As I navigated the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, I discovered a newfound appreciation for myself. The challenges I faced shaped me into a stronger, more confident individual.

Turning Disappointments into Divine Guidance My faith in the Lord played a pivotal role in my journey.

What I initially perceived as disappointments turned out to be divine nudges from the Holy Spirit, encouraging me to explore new horizons and embrace change. I learned that sometimes life’s disappointments are merely opportunities in disguise, waiting for us to trust the process.

My story is an inspiring testament to the power of faith, resilience, and self-discovery. My journey from a dedicated teacher to a successful entrepreneur showcases the importance of embracing change and trusting the divine process. When life took an unexpected turn, I found my true calling and embarked on a path that led to not only financial freedom but also a greater love for myself.

My Turning Point In October 2016, amid my struggles and newly separated after a short-lived second marriage, I took a wellness day from work. I had a heart-to-heart conversation with my best friend and college roommate, who happened to be a successful entrepreneur. The four-hour FaceTime chat ignited something within me—a desire to embark on a new career path. I felt restless, and I knew it was time for a change.

My story serves as a reminder that disappointments can be blessings in disguise, pushing us to explore new opportunities and navigate uncharted waters with unwavering faith. My transformation from an empty nester to a thriving entrepreneur is a story of hope and inspiration for anyone facing unexpected life challenges.

A Life-Altering Opportunity My turning point came in June 2017 when I was offered complimentary tickets to an overseas two-day Women’s Conference. The conference provided me with valuable insights www.AffidianMagazine.com

By Dr. Karina Felix Amid the bustling rhythm of modern life, an often-underestimated force quietly resides within each of us – the Divine Feminine Energy.

Unveiling and embracing this power can profoundly impact both personal and professional success, offering a path to a more harmonious, balanced approach to achieving aspirations.

Finding a harmonious balance between these energies brings forth a richer, more nuanced approach to life, fostering resilience, empathy, and innovative thinking.

Ultimately, acknowledging and nurturing the divine feminine energy within oneself can lead to a more holistic and inclusive way of navigating the world. Its integration into both personal and professional spheres can cultivate a profound sense of authenticity, compassion, and innovative thinking, offering a powerful and transformative approach to achieving personal and professional goals.

An Essential Energy

Divine feminine energy isn’t exclusively feminine; it’s an essential energy within everyone, irrespective of gender. It encapsulates empathy, emotional intelligence, and a deep-rooted connection to intuition and creativity. Often sidelined in a world that tends to prioritize linear thinking and aggressive pursuits, these qualities are instrumental in fostering a more holistic, inclusive approach to personal and professional life.

Tapping into this energy introduces a different lens through which to navigate life’s challenges.

Embrace Your Inner Divine Feminine Energy

If you’re looking to tap into the transformative power of the divine feminine energy, start by acknowledging and embracing the inherent qualities within you. Foster these attributes in both personal and professional spheres by: Intuition and Authenticity: Listen to your inner wisdom and align your decisions with your true self. Trust in your intuition to guide you towards the right path.

Nurturing Connections: Cultivate nurturing connections both within yourself and in your interactions with others.

Show empathy, compassion, and understanding.

Ready to harness the power of the Divine Feminine Energy?

Start your journey today by incorporating these aspects into your daily life, both personally and professionally. Please share your thoughts with our audience on our Facebook and LinkedIn pages. We want to hear your insights.

Intuition

Intuition, an innate part of this energy, serves as a guiding compass, offering insights beyond the analytical. By acknowledging and trusting this inner wisdom, decisions become more aligned with one’s true self, leading to a profound sense of authenticity in both personal and professional endeavors.

Nurturing

Moreover, nurturing, a key aspect of the divine feminine, fosters connections and collaboration. This nurturing quality isn’t just about caring for others but extends to oneself.

Creating a nurturing environment within and around oneself can amplify resilience, compassion, and empathy, which are invaluable in personal relationships and professional settings.

Creativity

Creativity is another significant facet of this energy. It’s not just artistic expression but a way of problem-solving and innovative thinking. Embracing creativity enables individuals to envision alternative solutions, paving the way for fresh perwww.AffidianMagazine.com

Perspective /// Uncovering the Wealth Within

Fundamental Principles for Success.

Uncovering The Wealth Within

Dr. Karina G. Felix

4. Value in Collaboration: Embracing your worth often leads to seeking partnerships and collaborations that align with your beliefs and values. This mutual understanding facilitates profitable collaborations and ventures.

Understanding the deep connection between worth and wealth is pivotal in the pursuit of financial success.

More than a self-esteem boost, recognizing one’s inherent value often becomes the catalyst for making bold, impactful decisions and seizing opportunities. When individuals acknowledge their true worth, a path towards financial prosperity often emerges.

By understanding and valuing your self-worth, you pave the way for wealth generation. It acts as a force that not only influences your financial trajectory but also shapes your overall life path.

Worthiness serves as the foundation for financial gain, as it significantly impacts personal and professional growth. Here’s how this interconnectedness influences your financial journey:

Ready to Unleash Your Worth for Financial Gain?

Here are some actionable steps to help you integrate this understanding into your financial journey:

1. Self-Perception and Decision-Making: Acknowledging your worth positively impacts your decision-making. Confident in your abilities and deserving of success, you’re more likely to take calculated risks and embrace opportunities that lead to financial growth.

Self-Assessment: Reflect on your strengths, skills, and unique qualities.

Confidence Building: Participate in activities that enhance your self-confidence and self-worth.

2. Attracting Opportunities: Recognizing your worth draws lucrative opportunities. Whether in business or career, understanding your value sets a tone that attracts better opportunities and favorable financial circumstances.

Opportunity Seizing: Act on at least one opportunity where you can leverage your self-worth and expertise.

Community Engagement: Share your thoughts, stories, and experiences on the Affidian Magazine Facebook and LinkedIn pages.

3. Self-Investment: Believing in your worth encourages self-investment, whether through education, skill-building, or entrepreneurial ventures. This proactive approach enhances your abilities, which in turn contribute to financial gains.

Engage in the dialogue on worth, wealth, and the interconnectedness that drives financial success.
