Change!

When you find yourself unhappy with your life, job, relationships, etc...... You find yourself faced with the need to make changes with that something in your life. Change isn't easy at all but it is very necessary in order to grow. Without the change you will continue to be miserable living the life you were not meant to live.

Find your purpose by making a list of all the things you loved to do when you were around the age of ten to present time. Then make a list of all the things you dislike to do. Figure out how many of the dislike things are in your everyday life and correct them. Don't listen to the voices you have heard over the years like "you'll never make a living do that", "It isn't possible to make money that way"..............etc........ Do not listen to all those fear based statements. Know in your heart that anything is possible. You can do whatever you want to do as long as you put your mind to it and take baby steps everyday towards that goal.

Change your ways. Change your thoughts. Change your direction. You will be amazed at the peace and contentment you will be living when you are full filling your purpose.

If life was easy we wouldn't be here learning. Accept change and learn to grow!

Living in the Now!


How many of us really live in the now?

There isn't many people that I know of including myself that can put ego aside and live in the now. During certain circumstance's we can find ourselves living in the now for brief moments, but then our minds simple seem to listen to ego and think about the past or the future.

If we were to live in the now time would only be an illusion. There would be no thoughts of time. Try slipping into the gaps in your thoughts and see if you can live in the now, without thought or ego. Let me know if this is something you can do. Can you live in the moment without thoughts of past or future?

The Blame Trap!

Do you find yourself or a loved one caught in the Blame Trap?

The Blame Trap, as I have coined it this is when someone just cannot take responsibility or ownership to the misfortunes that take place in their life. They are caught in a vicious cycle of blaming others for their unfortunate circumstances. Here is an example: Quite a few years back I was on my way to work the afternoon shift. I stopped at the stop sign and looked both ways before I proceeded through the intersection. It was a country setting and the field grass was so tall that my view was slightly obstructed. I didn't see the car that was coming and before I knew it the car collided with my car and we were in an accident. I remember asking the guy from the window if he was alright. He said to me, "Lady you just ruined my life"! Then he proceeded to leave the seen of the accident. I got on my cell phone and called the police. Three days later they found the guy that hit me and the police notified me that he had a warrant out for his arrest. Instead of owning up to his mistakes he decided that I had ruined his life. This is just a small example, most examples you can see on a day to day basis.

It is time to own up to your mistakes! You cannot move forward unless you acknowledge that it is your fault. Are you stuck in poverty, are you always behind the eight ball, are you finding brick walls everywhere you turn? Once you acknowledge that you are the cause for your misfortune, you will be able to fix your problem. Own up to! Then ask yourself how can I change this situation. Listen deeply to your first thoughts. Start to change the way you respond by responding with the first thoughts.

Hopefully this will make sense for you. Remember that you cannot fix or change what you do not acknowledge. Once you acknowledge the problem then find another way to solve it. Obviously the approach you have been using isn't working, so why not try another. Try using your first thoughts. Sit quietly and ask for help. The first thing that pops into your head will be that first thought. Try not to listen to your ego. Your first thought will be something that you would not have imagined of and will always come from a place of love. Your ego will come from a place of fear. This is how you will be able to tell the difference.

If you're the one stuck in the Blame Trap give this a try. If you have a loved one or a friend that is stuck please share this with them. You will be surprised how your life will change when you take responsibility for your thoughts, actions and choices in your life.

Best wishes
