Decisions..

As we get older with more experience under our belt, it can be an interesting game to play "what if..?". What if I had moved south instead of north, what if I'd taken that other job instead of the one I did. What if I'd married / not married / had kids / not had kids ..etc. We can get lost in the other scenario for a while and fantasize of how much better or different it would have been. The different things we would own and do. But would we still be the same people...waking up one day wondering what life would be like if we took the path we actually did? This game can consume us, or it can be an interesting question to ask to just review our choices thus far.

Perhaps we could focus not on the things we might have, but on the person we are really wishing to BE. Perhaps we play that game because we are out of alignment with our true nature. Although we are all very busy, it could be that we are lacking depth with ourselves, with who we really are. It is easy to blame other people whether that is our parents, teachers, boss, or partner...or even life itself.

Let's look at our Selves first...take responsibility for our actions and know that we have always done the best we could with the level of awareness of where we were at the time. If something is not feeling quite right in your life, it could very well be something you can change within yourself. You can make that decision right now...

Quote by Ramona L Anderson

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within. Ramona L. Anderson 1887-1949 American writer

labels

How many times do you get caught up thinking of yourself as one thing as defined by what you do...for example, a parent, a plumber, a banker, etc. And then you get confused because you feel like you're not just that, you're also a son, a sister, a friend, a member of a sports or social group, someone who has to take care of the family finances, do the maintenance on the car, clean the house, do volunteer work, etc. We are all so busy these days! Yet sometimes think we can only focus on one of these sides of ourselves at a time. What if you thought of yourself as a diamond? So many different sides, yet it takes all of them to capture the light to make it shine so very brightly.. ..that is you! Don't try to limit yourself with one label. Know that it is good to have different sides of yourself. You don't have to show just one at a time. Let yourself move through those different aspects of yourself as if you were imagining moving a diamond in the light, watching yours...

Abundance

A lot of marketing companies seem to delight in promoting a "lack mentality". They use fear tactics like "hurry, buy now" (as if you don't there will be none left - anywhere, ever again). Marketing can be aimed at making you think if you don't buy or use a certain product, you will not be attractive or successful. Not true. I think people become smarter by being able to see or read an advertisement, see the attempt at manipulation and not get caught up in it. Really look at the ad and if you see genuine value in something, for the fact that it will help reduce waste in the world or make your own home or self more beautiful or happy or less complicated. Whatever your reason, explore it and know your purchase will improve your life in some way. It is when people get 'sucked in' to buying something that just clutters their home or life that we know we've fallen prey to those clever marketers again. When you come to the knowing that Everything you ne...
