Believe

Believe in yourself. Take control of your life. Your life is not behind you.... your memories are behind you. Your life is always right here, right now. Think only of the best and expect only the best, you are worth it. Look always at the positive side of everything, train yourself to do that, it is up to you. Remember the amount of energy is the same. Invest it in getting what you want instead of what you do not want in your life.

Life is a reflection

What is in your world externally is nothing more than a mirror of what is going on internally....to change your external vision of what your world appears to be, go within and change it there.... then the outward vision will change to mirror your inward feelings.... The universe is a reflection of what we feel and how we perceive what goes on around us....Today I will focus on my blessings and smile... Focus on love and laughter .... Think my world as magical and beautiful and that is all I will see... The beauty is here... Just notice it !!

Wise words

Live well... And really live... Good friends, good food, good wine...and a good job... This doesn't mean make more money but rather find passion in what you do... What we do everyday is our life and most of us spend hours each day working... So don't dread it ... No matter what they pay you. Dreading every day is never worth it..

Love much... Love yourself, love your spouse, love your family... Love your life.. Make a point of going out and doing things you love... Run, skate, sail, dance... Whatever it is... Do it!

Laugh hard... Really hard.. Rolling on the floor hard.. Til you have a cramp in you side and need to stop and then laugh some more...

And travel often... Always be leaving, coming or going.... The adventure awaits...

The Peculiarities of Life

Today no matter many times I insisted the universe would reward me for my positive attitude and no matter much I tried to convince myself life is grand... I found myself forgetting to be thankful for what I have and instead focused on those things I want but thus far have eluded me.  Usually I'm very confident the universe works as it should and that all things happen for a reason. Today I found myself distressed I could not determine the reasons... Which lead to frustration.

I know I'm just a spec of sand on someone else's much grander beach but today I wanted to know why... Of course the answer eludes me which lead to more frustration.

What's important is that I let go... I let go of my worries of what is and isn't ... I let go of the stress of not knowing why everything doesn't work out perfectly ... I let go and accepted what is to be on beach will be and the reasons are of no consequence.  The waves will crash along the shore and subside again and again and there is not to be a treason why.

The peculiar thing about life... Is I already know I have no control of what happens around me... And I spend a lot of energy choosing to consciously accept this and just focus of the blessings I have been given in this life... this day...this moment, focus on the love laughter and joy ... yet even with all this focus and acceptance today I didn't get it... 

Today I saw the negative in people... in life and it made me sad.  I saw my failures and felt them. Today I had to learn a lesson I thought I already knew...today I had to remember reality is 99% perception ... And regardless of what is or isn't working in my life... I choose my reaction....that's what I can control... I can choose to be happy despite a set back... I have to choose to focus on the love and laughter in my life ... Focus on my blessings...My amazing husband and grand love... After all my spec of sand may just be a spec but its an peculiar magical and magnificent little spec of beach in a grand universe ... That has its reasons !

Power within

Dale Carnegie said, “If half a century of living has taught me anything at all, it’s taught me that nothing can bring you peace but yourself.”  There’s no peace in the world....There’s no peace that “fixes” people or circumstances...life is tough.. Its tough and we take our knocks...but we can change our experience...It’s hard to change.... It’s especially difficult to change dramatically... We are set in out ways... creatures of habit... But peace is inside of us, and we can change our lives....we can create peace within...our life becomes peaceful and abundant when we choose love and laughter... when we forgive our past and look towards our now...when we love in this moment and focus on the peace and beauty we have to share with the world around us... when we choose love and laughter... The universe gives us support and abundance in return... We have the power to see all that is beautiful...the power to experience life with abundance  love and laughter!

Positive Energy

If everything happens for a reason and I believe it does, then it is our interpretation of what happens that defines that experience.... We can have a tragedy or hardship in our life and our path is determined by our response. If we see ourselves the helpless victim of our circumstances, our life experience  will that of a victim with no control of our path. If we see the tragedies and challenges as opportunities to overcome and find personal growth and peace in life we will be in control of the path we follow,  Our life is a sum total of each experience we have. Our response to these experiences determine our attitude and outlook on life. We can chose our path, follow our true north, embrace a life of love, laughter, and happiness by responding to our human experiences in this way. Putting love, laughter, and happiness out to the universe and we will attract the same pulling positive energy towards us.

Open your heart and let the world in.  You will feel the pain and suffering but you can chose a path that surrounds you in love, laughter, and happiness.

Inspiration

Success and greatness in anything worth doing in life takes hard work. This goes without saying for the most part, yet so many of us fail and do not reach our full potential... we spend much of our lives lost.... Follow your true north and you won't be lost even if you're not sure where you are going... The journey will lead you to where you are meant to be

Falling down is a part of life... getting back up and trying again is living.... Live well!
