The Rodan Foundation's Publication for the Metaphysical Church of Enlightenment, April 2025
In 1981, Reverend Clarke Carraway founded The Rodan Foundation with the intention of creating a powerful, growing community of awakening beings who experience love, peace, prosperity, unity, healing, harmony, and revelation through learning and service. The Rodan Foundation, recognizing the Law of Cause and Effect, expresses gratitude for the many blessings it reaps from the community's experiences.
Welcome! Join with us in our dynamic weekly services where we discover our true purpose in an emerging world. Experience the revelation of our collective awakening to the power of love, the wonder of our multi-dimensional capacities, and the joy in reclaiming earth as our home. Sunday mornings provide the opportunity to celebrate life with like-minded beings and experience personal reassurance and empowerment through the spiritual messages of Reverend Carraway's mediumship. We look forward to your participation enhancing our community.
I’ve slowly come to an immense realization. Well, I knew it mentally years ago. But I’m just now learning to EMBODY it. Before I tell you what the realization is, let’s do a little thought experiment.
Think of the most confident, capable, courageous, and motivated person you can possibly imagine (it doesn’t even have to be a real person). If they put their mind to anything, they’ll be successful with it, right?
Writing a book
Working in customer service
Being a salesperson
Painting landscapes
Starting a restaurant
This person would be successful in anything they choose to pursue, because of this… (here’s the realization)
Because of HOW they do things.
WHAT they do is less important than HOW they do it. And how do they do things? With confidence, courage, consistency, patience, excellence, etc.
The average person does things from a state of fear, self-doubt, inconsistency, impatience, desperation, etc. Because of this, most people constantly question their direction. “Am I doing the right thing?”
On the other hand, the successful person holds this belief. “I am successful with ANYTHING I do.” That core belief is the foundation that allows people to be successful in whatever they put their heart into.
So here’s my invitation to you… Upgrade HOW you do things. Truly believe that you can be successful with ANYTHING you do. Practice living with more confidence, courage, consistency, patience, excellence, etc. But also don’t take yourself so seriously. Remember to be humorous, joyful, playful and lighthearted too.
If you want to create more success and fulfillment in your life (and for others), upgrade HOW you do things. Whatever your next step is, do it wholeheartedly and watch new doors open in your life.
Your new life awaits.
Much love, Stephen Parato feelingoodfeelingreat.com
