Taking a moment to reflect…a little life advice

In the context of all of our lives the most important moments are when we learn. That is all that I will say. End of point.

If you are trying to bring more meaning to your life then listen to your life, to what is not working and what needs to change. When you listen maybe a new path will be revealed, a new way of living which will help you to change your course.

If you keep on the same course it is not as easy to change. So change, so move, so grow. This is so much more fulfilling in the end than to stay on the same course.

When you change don’t be afraid, new ways of thinking and growth will help gather you from the fall should you have a weak moment and not know how to move forward.

Building faith one step at a time

Faith

Faith

When you start to worry about all of the voices outside just pay more attention to what we are telling you. When we tell you something you are more than welcome to ask for validation in 10,000 forms. We would rather give you optimistic replies, several times than let you miss out on all of the exciting opportunities on your path.

This is very simple.

  • Ask us a question. We will answer. Listen for the answer.
  • Ask for validation of what answer you thought was given.
  • When you think that you are clear on what has been told to you then act. Act with precision and immediately and then begin the whole process over again.

Please take care…of you

You have to take time for yourself otherwise you cannot accomplish all of the things, big and small, that you came here to accomplish.

People will want many things from you (sometimes all at once) but if you are down with a cold you cannot provide for anyone.

The boundaries around taking care of ourselves and taking care of everyone else often times get blurred. And then when we want to take care of ourselves, many people who want many things from us will cry and cry harder for help. What should your reply be? If I cannot take care of me how can I take care of anyone else?

If we have too much on our plate we cannot be there for anyone and we need, first and foremost, to be there for ourselves.

The past is the past. The future doesn’t matter. The only moment is now.

We are here to say that cleaning out your closets is a good idea. You forgive people just to have peace of mind. It does not mean that these people can continue to harm you in any way. It means the past is the past. The only moment is now. It’s not even the future that is of the utmost concern.

If you are more focused on the present and not the resentments of the past then you are more open to receive the great joy that is available NOW.

Our minds need a little spring cleaning from time to time

Spring clean your mind

Spring clean your mind

From time to time one must take inventory of his/her thoughts and dreams. What we don’t realize is that we come into this lifetime as a whole, complete individual separate from our friends and loved ones. Their impression is so deep on us, sometimes, that we forget who we truly are.

Much can be accomplished by re-evaluating our thoughts and beliefs and then assessing whether they are ours or if they are someone else’s. If they are someone else’s they don’t, often times, suit us well.

When we decide to get rid of some of these old patterns (that aren’t even ours) we really begin to thrive.

Do this on a deeper, subconscious level (the the aid of therapy and/or other tools) then the effect will be greater.

Do yourself a favor clean out the closets of the mind and get rid of those old thoughts and beliefs that no longer fit. That would be the best spring cleaning any one can do.

Be grateful for it is all coming with time

We don’t, often times, see how things are working out. It’s kind of like the analogy that we all like to repeat over and over again. Life just keeps sending you different ingredients. One day you might get the sugar, then a few months (or even years later) you get the flour and by the time it arrives you forget about the sugar. Then you get some oil (it doesn’t matter what kind of oil you get oil) and you are still a bit confused. You see, things build. Things build over time and sometimes we get all of the ingredients and then it is quite a bit longer that we get the recipe. And then, for many of us, once we get the recipe we take time to refine the recipe.

What we are saying is that it just takes some time to all come together. But ALL THE WHILE you are looking for those cookies you are missing a lot of great things like the sugar, the flour and the butter. And there you are thinking that nothing is working out and all along it has been. Just saying. Show some gratitude sometimes. It is all working out.

Change is easy

Sometimes when we want something in our lives to change the best thing to do is just put this request out to the universe. Then it is our job just to sit and listen and wait for the next move to appear right in front of our eyes. When the next prompting to move appears just move.

It is relatively simple. The part that is hard is deciding to change, being willing to change and then submitting to change. You do not have to think so hard once you decide to change. You, merely, have to listen within and be willing to change.

A lot goes into changing because we, often times, have a lot vested in our current situations. We are tied to certain payoffs of remaining the same. We are in old habits or we do not know that there is more.

Decide to change, be willing to change and then listen within and act when prompted. Then change will occur. It is relatively easy if you follow these steps. No need to over intellectualize it. It is more the willingness to change than anything that prompts the change. Don’t think it through, but, rather, listen within and change will occur.

Plug in. Everyday. And listen.

Plug in. And listen.

Plug in. And listen.

You did not come into this world to be anyone other than yourself. Great dis-content happens when you try to please everyone else. In fact, there is no way to please every one. If you are lucky you will find out what makes you happy and pursue your own, personal happiness. That is a life’s work in, and of, itself.

If someone tells you what to do know that that is what they would do. No one else is you so it is very unlikely that anyone, outside of yourself, will give you as good of advice as you can give yourself.

The hard part is learning to listen within. This takes practice and constant effort. If you can, listen within daily. And act on what information that you get as often as you get information (then you are well on your way to making yourself happy). So plug in everyday. And listen.

Embrace what will come

This time of year reminds many of the imperfections in their relationships and in life. This time of year does bring to the surface the many imperfections in one’s life because life is imperfect. We also tend to see that the grass is always greener on someone else’s lawn. Let me dispell some of these myths.

  • The hardest relationships will be, necessarily, with your birth family. Many of us came into hardship in order to learn. There are always exceptions to this rule. But the notion of an idealic, perfect family without quarrels does not exist.
  • The idea that someone, necessarily, has it easier than you is not a reality. With social media it is easy for one to “paint” this picture. Their is a lot of painting. People post the idealic, Christmas images of their angelic children. They don’t always post the many times that this idealic child has also told them that they hated them. Is is, often times, a very contrived image.

Don’t forget that the hardship is part of what makes this life so great. If you can start to embrace that things are hard here you might to see the infinite blessings that abound.

Happy Holidays to All. It is more than the presents and the great meal. It is about the great gratitude that we feel for life in whatever form it may come in. Just embrace this season for gratitude for what you have not what you don’t have.

The gift

The gift is the challenge

The gift is the challenge

Things are hard, very hard. We came to Earth to be challenged. The challenge is the gift. To think otherwise makes life much harder than it needs to be.

The other gift is the fact that if you plug in, plug in more, all of the tools, resources and ability to get through anything will appear. So plug in more. Don’t fight the gift, the challenge; raise yourself up to the challenge. And then, guess what? Another challenge will appear. It is the nature of the game.
