Mastering Miracles with Hazel Ortega

when I was working for my boss I thought that that's as good as it gets for me mhm and that was just your beginning yes it was just my begin he was your your pushy Angel just to help you begin to see a larger vision for your life yes and you know we always have Vision right so I saw myself working for him for the rest of my life right and then my vision expanded and then it keeps expanding right and what I talk about is the way to create a miracle life is by creating a miracle Vision peace and Rich blessings I am Michael B Beck with the host of take back your [Music] mind as LIF up into [Music] [Applause] [Music] the [Music] peace and magnificent blessings to you and welcome to take back your mind I am your host Michael bbec with the founder of the agap international spiritual center as you know by now if you've been tuning in every week I try to bring you someone that I get to have a conversation with that allows you to free your mind from worry self-doubt fear anxiousness anxiety worst case scenarios so your mind can be fueled and funded by inspiration encouragement transformational knowledge creative intelligence unconditional love divine wisdom pure intelligence embodied by the individuals that I get to talk with today after this life question of the week we will have Hazel ortiga her book from bounce checks to private jets the master of Miracles going to be in a conversation with her here in person in a few moments but right now this question is coming from Lisha she says I'm grappling with thoughts and feelings regarding two male members who have been emotionally and physically abusive towards women including the women and our own family although I've never been abused by them I felt uncomfortable around them which I'm forced to do at family events both men have claimed mental illness as a reason or excuse for their abuse but they continue to hold abusive thoughts and energy I know that they are emanations of the presence that I'm supposed to see and look for the Divine in them however lately my mother without my permission has been trying to invite them over to my house for a visit should I welcome them into my home how do I ignore the abusive behavior and only see the Divine any in sight would be available this is a very beautiful question and uh obviously these individuals um are suffering some some kind of mental illness and a Severe emotional immaturity uh abusive people obviously are hurt they've suffered some kind of trauma that's unhealed their mind has been hijacked by uh the uh the trauma that has not been brought into the surface into the light to be transmuted and they're dangerous as you say to other women and see even women in your own family the quick the key thing that you're asking here is uh your mother's been trying to invite them over to your house not your mother's house but your house you feel uncomfortable you don't feel safe the answer is no you don't have to allow them to come to your house pure and simple and if the conversation arises you can say very clearly seek some help you're claiming that you're mentally ill see a therapist see a spiritual practitioner see a psychologist see someone that's going to help you stop using mental illness as an excuse to abuse women the answer is no they do not have to come to your home particularly if you're not feeling safe please explain that to your mother you love these men in your family you're praying to see the Divine in them but obviously they have to see it in themselves so they can see it in other people particularly women today we're living in an age in which the divine feminine is rising it's all over the world it's in India it's in Africa it's in Iran it's in America women and The Feminine energy is now which has been suppressed by the patriarchy for DEC decades and longer is now returning to the throne we used to live in a matriarchal society years ago patriarchy suppressed it through fear of the power of the feminine the feminine is coming back so this movement of your no your no it's not being a it is being an empowered woman saying not in my house until you get some help nesa stand strong appreciate your question you may be assisting others as well anyone who wants to ask a question of me just write a podcast at Michael Beck with.com say your name particular and if you want to say what state

in Mexico and colia Columbia outstanding congratulations you're doing great work yeah I'm really proud tell these beautiful people you know a little bit about your journey I mean obviously we have the book here but uh like what happened in your journey for you to like overcome what were the circumstances and what was your journey that allowed you to transcend them I grew up here in uh Los Angeles in Downtown LA in one of the poorest neighborhoods and by the time I I was born my parents were already separated my parents are immigrants from Mexico mhm and they met as teenagers mhm and when I was born my dad was already starting to use drugs MH and eventually became a heroin addict and he was in and out of prison for the next 20 years I remember receiving letters from him from prison and um always staying in touch but never physically being there right he would also uh often be in LA county jails and we would drive by we were only two miles away from the downtown LA twin towers and my mom would say to me like hey look that's where your dad's at wave to your Dad wow and I'd be like five six seven years old and uh and doing that sometimes I see the buses with the inmates mhm um getting transferred from one location to another from Twin Towers wherever they're they're transferred to and I'd always also look in the bus and see if I saw him and he always uh was on drugs until the day he died he was a heroin addict he died 63 years old he never remarried I'm his only daughter I'd like to say that you know once you have Perfection you don't have to keep having kids you know but he came to do what he was supposed to do where you're concerned yes exactly I believe that now wholeheartedly actually I think he was meant to be my father and the lessons learned from that are what what I'm teaching now to other people and and and a lot of is a lot of this recorded in this particular book from balance checks to private jets yeah I write uh in this book my story of growing up poor on welfare I mean we used to pay for food with food stamps yes and I don't remember being embarrassed by that at all because everybody else was paying with food stamps so no problem there right and then I grew up in a 60 unit apartment building um and during the 80s La was riddled with gang members yes we had uh the world's deadliest gang rule on our streets which was the MS13 Mara salvatrucha yes uh George Bush came on the news and said that they were our domestic terrorists right and these guys were the enemy to The Gang That ruled the street that I was on W so there were always constantly death everywhere right it was very dangerous and so we lived like a very um constricted uh experience of living where my mom didn't even let us cross the street or go to the local Diner because driveby shootings were very common by the time I was 12 my best friend was killed while we were waiting at the bus stop both of you were sitting there together yeah uhhuh waiting for the bus stop Stop The Gangs came and like always they ask you what gang are you from mhm and we tend to run away mhm but this time the next day we found out that wabbit had been killed he was stabbed with an ice pick no one talk to us about how we're feeling we didn't process the loss my mom didn't even talk about the funeral or if I wanted to go no psychologists were talking to us about that it was just like another one bites the dust m M so many people were dying all around and so that was that and then my cousin was shot and killed by the police he was uh dressed like a gang member and a gang member had just robbed a liquor store and they thought that it could be him when he was walking by MH and when they tried to stop him to find out why he was there he ran and they ended he ended up being shot and killed and he was not the person that the St at 19 years old my other cousin was killed in a driveby shooting and he was actually the one perpetuating perpetrating the driveby shooting your cousin was he was the one uh that initiated that however the the gang members were able to retaliate sire back out and they shot him as he was driving away yeah so this is all this is your childhood my childhood yes you didn't have a childhood you had an childhood yes exactly and then my mom married and divorced many times while I was growing up and uh I told you we lived in a 60 unit apartment building right every time my Mom married a new person we move apartment but we always did the same project the same building exactly see it was a lateral move yes yes and sometimes you would break up with them and then come get back together with them so we'd have to move again right yeah so it's some of your teaching you talk about um the sob story how you you got over you didn't uh you didn't let your so story they Define you and you help people get through their s story yeah yeah talk about that for a minute well another thing that happened is when I was 21 years old my mom was pregnant with her seventh child and she shot and killed her boyfriend and she had a one-year-old and pregnant and she became a fugitive she was on the run for 5 years during you you didn't see your mother for 5 years I did see her you saw her but she was on the run from the police she was on the run from the police yeah and um some period of time she was in Mexico and then she crossed back and rais the kids here in LA but always in hiding MH I mean picture this I'm I'm watching television and she's on a Spanish speaking show right called plas right which is like an America's most wanted you see your mother on television yes and I know where she is Sur real real and that was happening for 5 years the police would raid our parties thinking that she was there they would raid our home in the middle of the night looking for her like a a whole world of that for five years until she went to prison and then her two youngest kids came to live with me mhm when I was in my late 20s mhm I was already married and I had a 2-year-old and so I instantly had a two and a four and a six-year-old and you're only 20 what like 27 years old and I'm Mar to the baby yourself and have a husband and everything oh yeah I was never a baby like when growing up the way I grew up that's not my experience right that I had a childhood wow so this is this is pretty in intense yeah but but what what happened for you to like make it this transformation in your life because you you you talk about in your book you can have a sop store you could get over it yep you know so break that down for us because you're here today you've received this powerful award you have so many businesses out there that you're starting it's like you've taken it's like you've taken your childhood and you're working with people in prisons you're working with people who've been hurt you're working with like parts of yourself that you were growing up it it appears as so you've developed an entrepreneurial Spirit to handle a lot of the issues that you personally experienced yeah for sure I'm a Problem Solver yeah that's what entrepreneurs do right uh well I was already on the trajectory just like my mom I was violent MH um I didn't finish High School I got a job just like everybody else where your family member works there's a job opening and and we need to pay bills right right right and so I started working at a law office and the attorney that I started working for was the first Latino I had ever seen really and I had um around me the Latinos were waiters and this is the first Latino having this kind of position yes I see the first successful Latino lawyer I had ever seen okay and when he interviewed me he asked me what gang I was from Wow imagine that interview process yes because I was rough on the edges like he could tell right right and plus I put the uh high school that I had attended I attended four different high schools and one of them happened to be um in Highland Park which is very heavy gang I mean they were all gang areas but that one he was particularly knowledgeable about right and he asked me if that was my gang right yeah and so how did you answer the question um I just laughed about it oh you didn't say anything you didn't say yes or no no I didn't you just said and I think it was kind of a joke too but you know I was like I'm from another gang not that one right yeah and so then he asked me you're in college right MH and I was 26 years old and I was not in college but my dad always told me fake it till you make it right and so I tell him that this the dad that was in prison or yeah okay that was his one of his favorite things I learned a lot from my parents even even though um they they had all the problems that they had right they also had Lessons Learned yeah of course or like they would say um take my advice I'm not using it right I have a friend who has that as her podcast show oh my goodness that's genius take my advice I'm not using it yes so what I say about all of this is um my S story could be that because I have these parents it's okay that I don't live out a successful life right because nobody would say to me oh you could be doing so much more if anything they're saying to me like wow you're good you know you're great you didn't end up in jail like your parents right and that's the sub story that I'm that I used for a long time of why I wasn't seeking success right right I didn't go to college because my neighborhood I didn't go to college because none of nobody in my family went to college nobody talked to me about college that was a sop story that I was using right until went to work for this lawyer who had like a noi nobs kind of thing right right and he encouraged me to go back to school and I at first I was not happy about that but I saw it as a a necessary thing I had to do in order to keep my job right like it was an expectation right right and so for me I think like him he was one of my first mentors mhm and these are people that see something in you that you can't see see for yourself that's right right and so in retrospect at first I didn't like him in retrospect now that I gained all the success starting from my education when he encouraged me now I see him and others as pushy Angels yes tell us about that I saw that yeah yeah so these are yeah these are the people that encourage you to go back to school that encourage you to leave bad relationships that see something greater for you and then sometimes you're in your comfort zone and you don't like they're telling you this right right right and so but it is the best it is they see something in you and we're we're we just don't want to be uncomfortable as human beings right but just a little bit of discomfort could make a big difference yeah I used to call that I sometimes still do the angel of um progression will kiss you the angel of evolutionary progression will come kiss you to move you out of your comfort zone but it will look demonic it will look negative it will look bad but when you when you start to grow you realize it's it's a pushy Angel you realize it's actually something coming to move you out of that comfort zone which we're not really comfortable in if we honest with ourselves yeah yeah but we're not really honest most people are not honest with themselves they don't want to face right the truth and so they'll live in that lie that they're good right and they'll become Masters at excuses for sure they'll take their Mastery and become a great excus maker exactly like you said you could have used all those excuses you know father went to jail your mother was on the Run you're surrounded by gangs etc etc etc you could become a master of excuses but instead you went from bounced checks to private jets that's right tell us about that title is this a part of your personal life here that's real so I you know I grew up with these parents that I never saw them work a day in their life mhm okay and so I didn't know how to manage my finances and I was bouncing checks all the time and this just part of your life that was my life and there was no problem with that so what right you know really I was very cynical about it right so what I want what I want right now and I'll write a check for it and Friday when my bank you know when the my paycheck goes into the bank account it'll cover that check and I'll be negative again and keep the fees the fees you giving away money yeah yeah it didn't matter I was not conscious of that I wasn't actually looking at that mhm I was looking at that I wanted what I wanted at the time and then I eventually I kept going to school and I became a psychologist with the encouragement of my boss and a lot of people that helped me along the way I learned how to ask for help so I can get through it and at this time you know three kids working full-time and going to school at night and on weekends it takes something so sure it takes a village you know and I got help I say that nobody makes it by by themselves all these self-made millionaires that doesn't happen there's a lot of people behind the scenes that help absolutely the team yes and I couldn't get anything accomplished before that because I didn't know how to ask for help I used to think help was a sign of weakness I suffered I went through things and even after I wrote the book my friends asked my high school friends asked me why didn't you tell us that you were going through all of this you know and I'm like they they actually read your book yes they yeah I know some family members haven't read my book not even to this day no no and so my friends read it and they're like why didn't you ever ask us for help and I I didn't even know that I could right right I I've been raised like it's up to me right you know that's the American way too right if it's to be it's up to me right rough individualistic kind of moving through the world right and that got me this far right it wasn't until I started asking for help that I was able to leverage MH my time my my resources right and so I end up graduating from school mhm and I evolved my self-esteem right so when I first started school I thought I couldn't do it m and then little by little I accomplished passing a class passing the semester then the second semester and then my self-esteem started to build up you're saying something interesting because a lot of times in America they want to build kids self-esteem but without works they just want to say you're great you're beautiful even before they've done something rather than tie it to something that's a you learn how to tie your shoes that's beautiful you learn how to read that's beautiful and I think that carries more embodiment your self-esteem actually came from something you did even though you made in the image and likeness of God even though we're perfect inside spiritually real self-esteem comes from an accomplishment of some kind yeah yeah and and that's where you curated your self-esteem you did something that your former self thought you couldn't do and then momentum took over yes exactly yeah so that's that's um how I started to change my mindset yeah and I also changed my my environment right okay yeah so I I was poor and bouncing checks and poor in the sense of poor mentality mhm yeah right and it's a difference between being poor and broke yeah definitely I had a home I had food I had fun MH and what ended up happening was now I changed my pond right people say hazel you grew up in in this bad area but you were a big fish in a small pond and I say a big fish can't grow in a small pond you have to change your pond so I changed my pond to an environment first with the attorney right being around attorneys and judges MH and I'm not in trouble right not bowing your head and trying to sneak by exactly right right and then I changed the pond when I started going to college yes now I'm with people that are using education as a vehicle to improve their lives right right and then from there I started a company from the garage of my home back before it was cool to work from home MH yeah back before we were almost forced to work from home yeah cuz couldn't afford getting an office so we work from home and when my dog would bark I'd be so embarrassed like oh my gosh they're going to know I'm what company did you start uh I had were you still working with your attorney at this time when you started your business no I was working as a psychologist oh okay yeah that's where you did it you did psychology out of your garage no I did vocational counseling which is the same kind of business except I had uh my initial business with a business partner and now I'm I'm a solopreneur mhm um but I started from the garage and I started I had had to ask for help MH I could not afford to get an office mhm and so I converted the garage into an office and somebody gave me two desks and two chairs somebody gave me two computers and printers and somebody else gave me letterhead and we started our business yeah we couldn't have done it with all without the help of all these people right so again my point always like ask for help and people want to help right they do they're just waiting for you to ask right otherwise they don't know what you need absolutely I always I Define help as hello Eternal loving presence throw myself open for help and so the presence will bring whatever it is I need in the form of a person in the form of an event an opportunity but if you don't ask for help then you're closed and you can't receive what the universe is trying to give you because the universe exactly and pushy angels and Angelic Angels life is trying to give you something but if you you're not receiving it you know you're not being gracious enough to receive the gift exactly then you become a master of excuses yes exactly so stories right right so stories yeah and everybody's got them everybody anytime that you find yourself saying I can't go back to school because I'm old I have kids I don't have time I don't have the resources and that's a sub story right is you can have that story or you can have the story of that you can do anything absolutely and that's what I did I actually got over my S stories I would not make any excuses anymore MH and I could have what I have because I want it or I could not have it because I don't want it absolutely and no more excuses no more excuses yeah no that's that's powerful so break down I mean you do a lot today yeah tell us a little bit of everything that you have entrepreneur your way into manifestation I mean there's a lot I want people to see it yeah well I have you have let let me Counseling Center that I started from my garage you still have the Counseling Center yes okay and when I started from my garage I said that I wanted us to be number one in California mhm and today we are the number one and largest Counseling Center that specializes in helping Injured Workers train and get jobs they love wow that was my experience and 45,000 people I think I read yes 45,000 people helped you know these are people that in accidents accidents on the job they're older many of them don't speak English many of them haven't used a computer and we encourage them to go back to school we match them to a career and then we cheer them on So you you're kind of like a mentor and tutors we are mentors you we're supposed to be career counselors and we end up being more than that because when people call us they're not they're not willing to go back to school and we have to actually create a future for them that they can't see for for themselves right and we share stories right about what other people have been able to do including myself right I was injured on the job also as a secretary and I developed carpa tunnel cubito tunnel and problems with my neck and you know at first I thought I was only going to go to school to appease my boss but then after I had this injury yeah I had the injury and I I kept going because now I felt like my job wasn't solid anymore I needed to find something else that I could do because with the injury that I had I couldn't type as much anymore right so I had to get a different kind of job right and so Psychology was the one that I saw that would have the least impact on my body interesting so that injury on your body became a blessing creating a pathway exactly yeah yeah so sometimes bad things can happen yeah but it leads to something even more incredible right right when I was working for my boss I thought that that's as good as it get for me mhm and that was just your beginning yes it was just my beginning it was your your pushy Angel just to help you begin to see a larger vision for your life yes and you know we always have Vision right so I saw myself working for him for the rest of my life right and then my vision expanded and then it keeps expanding right and what I talk about is the way to create a miracle life is by creating a miracle Vision yes right break that down so there there's a phenomenon that happens that when you ask yourself where do you see yourself in 5 years MH most people will say I'm good MH you know and so that happened to me as well somebody asked me where do you see yourself 5 years from now MH and I said well I'll be 5 years older you know I already have my career I'm a psychologist right I'm already earning the amount of money that I'm going to make I already for the for the future I already know this I work at a school district M you know not much is going to change right and I said well and my kids would be 5 years older mhm and the woman looks at me and says wow you didn't even think about that like give us some time right something percolate yeah I was like well I mean I I was certain that I knew the future and the future was the same except 5 years older right why do I have to even give that a thought right how many of us don't do that right we think we know everything and we answer right away and we don't give ourselves the time to contemplate and create something and imagine something different mhm so this woman says you know what think about it for 10 minutes I'll be back I'm sitting there and who is this woman she's a coach okay she's a coach okay I'm sitting there for eight minutes the whole time just not happy that she asked me this question it seems like the most silliest question ever when uh all of a sudden I heard like this voice inside of me that I know was not me and it said Do You Believe In Miracles and the answer is yes MH and you know most humans believe in miracles yes right regardless of religion right so I did I did believe in miracles and in that instant I was able to see a future for myself that was unrecognizable so usually your brain when you say you want to you know have a dream what is your dream it does really come up with dreams it comes up with goals mhm and goals that are reasonable that you can attain it doesn't stretch you it does not stretch you because the brain's job is to protect you so it want to see you get hurt it doesn't want to see you be defeated so it won't allow you to create Big Dreams so I realized in that moment that I never dreamt I always made goals and the goals were based on what I believe which you knew you could do yeah you know like I'll take my kids to Disneyland right that was a goal for me when I got my income tax return you know I would take my kids to Disneyland I never said I would take my kids to Disney World in Florida and have to get on a plane and then maybe we'll go on a Disney cruise right because that was not possible too big yeah so I wouldn't even dream it right so with this miracle mindset I was able to see a future that was unrecognizable in the sense that I created I saw myself living in a Pimp Daddy mansion the kinds where music videos are filmed you you I'm GNA go big right if it's not up to me and it's up to a miracle then and God then I'm going big okay I also said I would fly in private jets uhhuh mind you at this time I'm I'm bouncing checks okay oh you this is doing the bounce check era yes okay all right this is the bounce checks era I'm still bouncing check I'm 36 years old okay I'm a psychologist my life is not working yeah I'm fist fighting with my sisters fist fighting yes 36 years old as a psychologist and my sister a police officer wow we don't know how to solve our problems right basically adults solve their problems with strategies they learned as children right and so fighting withholding love silent treatment those are the intimidation provocation violence yeah yeah what I learned as a child yeah and here I am as an adult here we all are as ad adult fighting how we know how to do it right and uh a bouncing checks and I was already divorced by this time M so when this lady asked me where I'm going to be in 5 years I was able to create a vision for living in a Pimp Daddy Mansion private jets having abundant amount of money in my bank account having a life that look like I'm always on vacation mhm yeah that's what your husband says yes I know we do have that now that's what he says to me so everything happens we do all this work but Le we're on vacation all the time yeah yeah that's what happens so it's really interesting that the minute that you make a declaration is like it's like God the universe like delivers it and it delivers it with a bag of chips right like oh you want to have a life that looks like you're always on vacation would you like that with a private jet you know with luxury hotels and speaking all over the world like how about that how about being treated like a dignitary whenever you travel that is what happened to me and it didn't happen in 5 years it happened in 2 years okay so what happened and all of these things start this miracle mindset yeah you you you you made a declaration I made a declaration and then this woman told me okay you saw it in your in your brain and now draw it MH and so I drew it my drawing looks like a 4-year-old drew it sure but when you come to my home MH it's framed in my dining room because because everything happened everything that I drew came to and what did you what did you have on it I drew a castle as my home and it looks very much like the home I live in right now I drew an an island with a palm tree and myself laying down always on vacation I drew a a private jet flying over the house I drew my the love of my life and myself holding hands inside a heart MH and I drew a heart with the word family MH and I said that um if I believed in Miracles that I would get along with my sisters like we were in heaven you know we we grew up fighting all the time and so for me that's been like one of my greatest accomplishments is being able to have um peace with my sisters so you have you guys are close now oh yes we're so close and I mean we had wasted so much time fighting yeah you know and honestly the only one that had to change was Me O isn't that isn't that something I know and I always had it that it was them over there right like I can't I you know I would get along with my sisters if they weren't such you know bitc right but the second time that word has been used today yeah no it's it's really interesting how people will disarm when you tell them how much you love them yeah yeah and I started to do that so so so what actually okay so within two years what happened what what what what moves did you have to make I want to say that I'll tell you this that I I never knew I wanted these things uhuh but when I saw it boy did I want that I fell in love with it wasn't in your Paradigm no yeah I would have never dared to say that yeah I saw it and I wanted it and now in my real life my real life was so incongruent to that Vision that I said I got I have to choose and so now if I want to be a millionaire I can't be broke mhm I can't have my bank account negative right right and then if I want the love of my life I need to work on myself so I can be healthy in a relationship right and I started working on every area that I that I imagine to be a miracle vision and I said what's one little thing that I can do towards each one of these areas that doesn't cost me a DME right and so watch videos on healthy relationships I learned about that I signed up for a dating 101 class I read books the Mastery of love with Don Miguel oh my God that book is amazing yeah uh I read a lot of books and I checked them all from the library free doesn't cost anything right so I educated myself um I told you I never saw my parents go to the bank M my mom will get the Ware check and go to a check cashing place that took money that which kept us even more broke right right right so I learned about uh financial planning mhm I learned about being in relationships I learned about family relationships and Dynamics and how to make my money grow mhm and little by little I started making changes and then I started being very present to my dream and when my sisters wanted to fight mhm I'm I didn't partake MH because that's not what I wanted right I wanted to get along with them right I want to love them how did they respond when you stopped reacting to them did they say they they told me to stop acting white that's what they said stop acting like yeah I offered other alternatives our communication mhm and they said stop acting white you know how we do yeah you know how we do this is our this is our culture this is our tradition we fight yeah we fight that's passion that's because we love each other there's always problems sisters fight right and I really always thought that as well that sisters fight and relationships have problems and that's not true it doesn't have to be true no it doesn't have to be true and honestly I mean I've been in a relationship with Elbert for 15 years yeah yeah yeah and we are like so in love and growing in our in our companion he talk about you so highly I mean he talks about you as if you just started dating six months ago you know and everything you're describing in terms of the the kind of life you want to live being of service but looking like you're on vacation that's what he said that you guys do exactly you know he'll call me say mama I'm on my way to Uganda I'm on my way to Costa Rica I'm on my way to naraga I'm on my way Mexico you know but but while we're there we're we're helping this orphanage we're doing this we're doing that it's like you you make big impact wherever you go exactly while you're having a great time yep so you you you can have it all absolutely I I I absolutely agree yeah so in one of the chapters in my book I call it the millionaire of time MH and how to leverage your time so we travel we bring our friends that we love to spend time with we want to do social impact so we make sure we do that as well and we have meetings buiness business meetings and we get to have it all right so you have this Counseling Center yes what else are you doing I also have a new business that we started in Mexico it's te theapy in Mexico there's a law that an employer must offer 10 hours of mental health so if you have an employee that approaches you and says that they're feeling depressed or burned out that they have a tool that they can use to help them and it's the law and they enforce this is in Mexico mhm in Mexico so I already had a a business associate that has a call center in Argentina and Argentina is one of the leading places for psychologists and they only get paid $12 an hour the psychologist yes and so we figured out a business where we can take advantage of high quality psychologists at low price and offer the service in another area of the world that is in demand mhm that's Mexico that is Mexico yes it's and I love Mexico and I'll tell you that I think that I manifested that because I told Albert I want to figure out how to come to Mexico City more often I love Mexico City so again making high impact while on vacation exactly or while on vacation you're making high impact yes yeah yeah and so this opportunity came up right away so what I believe is that when you create a vision of what you want and then you have faith that it could happen you believe in the miracle that you can make it happen yeah yeah your your brain is actually wired to make your goals come true right it is and so we need to leverage that am I missing anything else what else are you doing I know you got a you speak I mean you're one of the great speakers in Latin America yes I'm one of the highest rated speakers in my organization in Latin America I've been speaking all over the chapters and also independently with other organizations that have me speak there what I talk about is how to transform your life from a poverty mentality to Abundant mentality right right which is this process of creating a miracle Vision right and I do this process over and over in my entire life and so I also said that in 10 years I wanted to make an impact in the world this was a year and a half ago I I'm I'm clear that I'm making an impact locally in my community right in California for Injured Workers right however in the world yes it seemed to me like something that wasn't ready for something that was going to happen in the future MH well the future is now as soon as you declare it it happens right and so this opportunity showed up to help a hospital in Uganda help build a hospital in Uganda and we started to do that and I I did that and I asked for some financial support on Facebook uh GoFundMe and then all of a sudden people were sending thousands of dollars and I realized that people want to help yes and then people were asking me do you have a nonprofit can I get a write off you know for my taxes if I give you this donation right and that was the the point where I said I need to start a nonprofit so that people can help create a vehicle so that people can give right because they want to that given high tide Global that's that's what I wanted to get to high yes high tide oh my gosh high tide to me is like high like a high lifts all boats and the intention was that people that have already made it can help other people come up really right and so the intention is to give this education so I wasn't born with all of this education that I share now my parents didn't impart that you know they imparted other things to me other good qualities as well but financial literacy and and vision and celebration like celebrating your wins like that's not something that my parents taught me right they they taugh me being humble and staying small and get married and have kids you know be a good family member be a good fight with your family if you have to I with them may that's normal right you know but still be together right uh so that's what I I do in the world in high tide uh so I ask my friends if you have any programs that you sell to people that can pay for them uh if you donate them to my nonprofit I will share it in the world with the people that can't afford them but they want the information and that's what I've been doing like for instance what kind of programs like self-esteem and mindset programs for children and teachers and parents parenting classes as well and then how to master your Miracles so I get a lot of those types of programs donated to my nonprofit and and I find a champion in different uh countries and then they connect me to their local charity that they vetted and then we launch it there so we're in Guatemala Mexico um africah Colombia Puerto Rico and even here in Los Angeles MH so you are making the global impact yeah and you're you're bringing people a sense of self-esteem through them works that they're doing having them grow in particular talents gifts skills things of that particular nature yeah exactly what I say is I'm making um I'm holding the space for people's dreams to come true right by virtue of leading them down the Road of creating a dream if you don't have a dream you can't have a dream come true that's right right and so that is what I do through the nonprofit and I really believe that if people are having their dreams come true they become happy healthier people and then those people now tend to want to help other people and that is how we lift the tide of humanity right right like be for each other right but if you're just struggling to make ends meet and get over your drama and your traumas and your problems that you have in your life you're not helping anybody right you're you're you're sucking energy rather than circulating it and glowing with it yeah there's no room yeah you don't have room you're you're depleted is it anything you're not doing what else what else are you doing I also have another uh business to help the formerly incarcerated right it's a it's a personal development seminar I partnered up with the formerly incarcerated woman when we shared stories of life after getting being released from prison my mom was released from prison 12 years after serving her sentence and was deported to Mexico she didn't know how to handle her finances MH and she didn't know how to keep healthy MH and she ended up also gravitating to the same kind of crowd right of people that she was with in prison right she was very comfortable in that environment and when you get deported they tend to deport everybody in the same area so you you see your buddies from jail hanging out there hanging out plus she didn't have she wasn't set up properly you know if you if you educate them and then when they get out they have a powerful start and she did not have any of that and so she ended up dying two years after she stopped taking her medication she stopped managing her money she basically became a homeless person and um yeah two years later she was gone so it's my passion right to help this is like a a living memorial for your mom kind of totally I want to help other people M I have the time and I have the resources and the passion to do that and I see that it makes a difference I'm making a difference right so I want to build you know like this Army of pushy angels of people doing good and if I need to be the example of that I'll be here with you love it I love it in front of the cameras telling people that one person can make a difference and you can too and you may not be able to see this but you need to get the book from bounce checks to private jets but you can see that she's in front of the tajma hall in India and at some point in your life this would have been impossible for you definitely I mean it it was way out of your your your comfort zone yeah but there you are in front of Taj Mahal in India yeah and my practice now is I create a vision every 10 years mhm and also when I'm 95 years old I know that I'm going to be looking good right because I might as well have that Vision right I'm creating from the best case scenario so I'm going to look good right right right and then even recently because there's always levels to upgrade your vision I'm creating a vision for A Thousand Years After I'm Gone Legacy Legacy yeah and when you have a legacy mentality everything you do today dictates what is going to happen in the future right and so that's what makes me show up today rev and be with you I like you a lot and your legacy has me be here outstanding so you you basically have youve given a number of steps get over your s story because that makes you a a master of excuses a victim and I have that at one of my my stages in my book getting over your victim stage and then you you you start developing your your Miracle mindset that is where do you want to be in five years you know obviously wherever you are you don't want to be stagnant even if it's somewhat nice MH you you want to basically as an infinite being continue to grow and develop and unfold so at least put it out there in five years I'd like to be doing this I'd like to be declaring declaring this I'd like to be you know so you have to go for it which is going to make you a little uncomfortable it's going to make your brain uncomfortable it's going to make your ego uncomfortable because as you said it wants to protect you and then once you do that things doors start to open exactly opportunities show up that were in many case is already there but you couldn't see them because you weren't declaring anything uhhuh and then that's going to make you grow you're going to become a different version of yourself and then and you also declared which I love I told me about this that you wanted to make an impact while looking like you're on vacation or being on vacation that's pretty deep so you don't have to have this U mindset of getting burned out being overly tired all the time you're actually having fun while you're making a difference in Uganda and Mexico or Costa Rica Costa Rica everywhere that you're going I love it what's next for you these businesses right now are what's next and um partnering up I want more people to get involved I want more people to be grow high tide to make an even bigger impact right now we I'm invited to speak at the largest one of the largest school districts in the nation to train the leaders there on creating a miracle vision for kids yes it's necessary yeah look at a kid and and know that they are the future and that's not just cliche right like if you believe in them MH they're going to grow up and believe in themselves yeah right the right mindset the right attention yeah I got that in school people um gave me attention mhm and I was having a really bad childhood at home but but school was pleasant the teachers gave me attention so I what I S I tell people go back to your communities to your jobs and Shine the Light on somebody you know you might make the difference right this is absolutely true you you you've poured into um a lot of people here today particularly um vulnerable and honest enough to share your experiences parents what you had what you didn't have and that you got over your s story and now you're making a difference to over 45,000 people in your counseling center and then way more people all around the world and I mean I always teach this is what this is why we're here we're here to become the best version of ourself and then to ask how can I give you know I think it was Picasso that said something like you know my purpose is to to find me and then my my mission is to give it away that's right you you find out who you are and then you give yourself away you you act and this is what you're doing exactly you found who you are and now you're giving it away anything final words you want to say to the beautiful people out here listening to you there's a lot of people out here we may me say this youed to be afraid of public speaking yeah you were scared yeah oh and now you're one of the best public speakers that's right I even had one of my sisters I paid one of my sisters to take my speech class to do what take my speech class in college because I couldn't get up there and do a three minute she did it for you yes yes she took the entire class did you get an A no I wish no I was like what I had I thought you were a better speaker you got a D in the class she got a D she said you passed she is a troublemaker sister well she wasn't well she wasn't um as interested as you if you would had taken your own class you would have got an A I think I would have but I didn't know how to ask for help yeah as a matter of fact I I I failed the first speech class and I told the teacher that I was he he saw me in the hallway and he said what happened I said you know what I'm just I was so scared and he said you should have told me I would have I would have put together a smaller group just for you wow I didn't know you didn't yeah so that goes back to asking for help yeah exactly the universe cannot even send the beautiful angels unless you're receptive to it yeah I feel like they're waiting for for help for us to ask for help that is true I mean on a on a on a Angelic realm the Angels can't interfere interfere with your life unless you ask for help they can't intervene yeah unless you ask for help the ancestral line the Angelic line you have to ask for help you know when I was in Costa Rica I almost drowned one time and I when I came up to get air I said I need some help here it just it just came out of my mouth I didn't consciously think those words just I need some help here like that and then I programmed my mind and I said regardless of how tired the body gets keep swimming and then these big three waves came and gave me the momentum to get back to shore so I get back to Los Angeles and there was nobody on the beach there's nobody that helped me out there I was just me and my daughter were the only ones on the beach there's no way she could get out here and catch me and bring me back in I get back to Los Angeles and I'm telling a friend of mine who makes her Liv she's a medium that's what she does and I told her what happened she said can I look I said what do you mean said can I go in and see what happened I said sure she said oh you asked for help I said I did she says an archangel was going by and sent you three big waves he said she said he could not intervene until you asked for help yeah wow so going back to your point yes they can't intervene until you ask for help and that's they'll show up as pushy Angels people opportunities but asking for help makes you vulnerable and open to receive yes but if you're just I'm going to do this by myself you're cutting out the invisible partner yeah exactly yeah yeah it's been great having you here oh thank you my pleasure this is this is Hazel Ortega I love the name because the woman that helped me tie my shoes I was little boy her name was Hazel oh I don't haven't met any I did have another Hazel friend a lot of people have told me they're their uncles or you know older people in their families are named Hazel my mother just started working and this lady named Hazel baby sit at me and when she came back my mother came back to pick me up I knew how to tie my shoes cuz Hazel worked with me to get I was frustrated about it you know I was a little boy and uh so Hazel has a good vibe in me you know Hazel's not Latino name no it's not and uh my mom didn't speak English when I was born okay and she overheard the doctor that was uh delivering me speaking about his daughter who was winning some competitions and his daughter's name was Hazel that's how you got it she said if the doctor named his daughter Hazel I'm going to name my daughter Hazel so that she can be successful wow yes so she imprinted something in you she did and she always told me that story M so I always felt like I was going to be the successful one right yeah I envisioned myself that way let's go back to your sisters for just a second how are they doing they're doing fantastic and what they do right they're happy good okay very good thank you and my daughter um and is an emergency room nurse wow yeah and the youngest hire in the emergency room so I'm really proud of her beautiful and she uses this technology of creating a vision for her life and has her own Miracles yes you know even being hired as a emergency room nurse when the rules were that you needed at least 2 years of nursing experience before they placed you in the emergency room and she starts applying for jobs in the emergency room and I ask my daughter why are you doing that and she says because I can do it I know I can and I'm I'm like yeah but the rules say that you you need two years and after they don't hire her for about eight months I say to her maybe it's about time you apply for regular nursing job and she said I'm manifesting I was like I ruined my daughter oh my goodness and then shortly thereafter because of Co they mandated nurses to take the vaccine they didn't want to 200 nurses walked off the job they bend the rules and they hired my daughter she got in got in got in and today what's her name shout her Shout sh her name is Francis Ortega Francis Ortega okay she works down the street here wow beautiful MH Francis

bounced checks to private jets it's in Spanish and English on Amazon or everywhere where books are sold see you in a moment [Music] peace blessings and uh it was a great interview with hazel OTA I like the um the emphasis on the Miracle mindset so let's turn within in this moment we're going to we're going to practice a little meditation which is foundational piece of the work we do here the gape the work I do personally and it's in everything that we do including take back your mind podcast so let's take our attention and turn it inward for a moment extract your attention from the world of effects and circumstances and [Music] situations and come inward give yourself some space for a few moments so that you can find the spaciousness within your own [Music] being in this moment of [Music] silence when thing that Hazel said was your dream can't come true if you don't have [Music] one so right now begin to open yourself up to what's trying to happen through [Music] you not the vision that the world hold holds for you not a vision or a dream of Simply reacting to external [Music] circumstances but what does life when to give through [Music] you what does life when to sh share through you what does life want to contribute to through you just begin to catch the feeling of what life how life wants to know itself as you this is the beginning of your dream the beginning of a vision pulling you and as Hazel reminded us which he curated within her vision and her dream was she wanted to feel like she was on vacation so even though she's making a great impact in the world building a hospital in Uganda tell a health in that hospital working with individuals who've been injured to help them go back to school and find new careers speak in around the nation and around the [Music] world she has place within her dream having fun being happy and feeling like on vacation even though making an impact let's add that to the feeling tone what does life want to contribute through you and let it be saturated with joy and fun and having a great time as well now without censorship or denial let the dream or the vision come into your awareness now you may not be able to see it but you might be able to feel it what does it feel like what does it sound like what is its energy wake up to [Music] it [Music] there's a vision pulling [Music] you there a dream that wants to come true as you become true to you what does it feel like what does it look like what does it sound like what is its Essence now to the best of your ability say yes to it declare it decree it announce it affirm it in your own awareness say yes to [Music] it so that your life will be curated and pulled by a vision rather than by mere survival so opportunities begin to show themselves possibilities begin to reveal themselves help begins to show up because the vibrational frequency that you're carrying becomes a strong radio magnetic field that appears to draw to you everything that you need for it feel it now now give thanks that it's already happening not in the future give thanks that it's happening right now the paramagnetic field is surrounding you manifestation of the soul
