Here is the Thought for the day!!

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark

 One: Don't miss the boat.

Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

 Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six: Build your future on high ground.

Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.

Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Eleven : No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...

complaining

Good Moning!!!

Miss Me?   Complaining.  

Like Dr Phil says; your either part of the problem, or part of the solution...  

Those who complain are looking for an audience.They usually speak from an underinformed position, and do not really have all of the facts, because they really do not know.  

 It is like rallying people to their defense for not doing something.   It is their way of justifying their inability to get involved, make changes, grow, inspire, encourage, nurture...

  Complaining is just a grown up word for whining.  

Complainers, critics and gossips are like a disease, infecting everyone around them, looking for willing allies to join their group of  for a round of stinkin' thinkin'.  

Rarely are they actually inspired to make changes about that which they complain, call them on it ant watch the excuses fly......  

Once we get involved, try to find a solution to a problem, then you gain a different perception, you see why there may be snafu's or why things may not be running smoothly....  

If you want to complain, be prepeard to be part of the solution..   If not, then please.... keep it to yourself.  

Here is the thought for the day;  

 ...complaining is what we do well. We do it artfully and with gusto, and although I personally consider it a pleasurable hobby, sometimes you just have to gag your inner whiner to let other voices (like your imagination) get a word in edgewise.

appreciation

Good Morning, Happy Wednesday!!  

In this Journey, we meet an amazing number of people, and although we want to keep them with us forever, we can't..  

Like our own life, we don't know how long others will cross our path. That's why when we are together, it is so important to be present.  

Be thoughtful and kind as possible, because this may be the only opportunity to be with them.....  

 I have had people I have worked with go to lunch, never to return, and there is a little regret there, because there was no goodbye.  

If we can embrace our fellow man as best as we can at the moment, we will be able to release them with love.  

Look around you today, imagine never seeing any of these people again.  

(I know what your thinking, some of them I would not mind not seeing again!, That's another blog altogether!! lol)  

 Leave others feeling better for meeting you today.   

Give compliments and kindness away as a bouquet of lovely flowers, the Universe with thank you in many ways.

Here is the thought for the day  

Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-break on.

Happiness is........

Good Morning!!

Well, we are introducing you to new things today..

I hope all of you can take a few minutes to ponder the reflection today. Peace!  

 Dharma Dharma is a very complicated word, for which there is no equivalent word in any other language, including English. Dharma actually means that which upholds this entire creation. It is a Divine law that is inherent and invisible, but responsible for all existence. Dharma exists in all planes, in all aspects and at all levels of creation. In the context of human life, dharma consists of all that an individual undertakes in harmony with Divine expectations and his own inner spiritual aspirations, actions that would ensure order and harmony with in himself and in the environment in which he lives.  

We are constantly looking for happiness outside ourselves.  

Happiness comes when we find peace within ourselves, then radiate that peace to our environment.  

As we continue to look for happiness in a person, or a job, or in a situation, we continually are disappointed when what we think we wanted does not manifest. A constant let down.  

In order to be truly happy, the focus needs to be;

Who am I?

What do I define as "happy"?

What is in my life, or in my self, that does not bring me happiness?  

You will find that the list is simple, and if you see that you have much of it already. Things you really need are brought to you. It opens the flow of abundance, because you are not searching for it, grabbing it; you are allowing the Universe to bring it to you.  

We must live peacefully in ourselves before we can create a peaceful world. 

 Happiness is a state of being.

It is inside, loving who you are and where you are in life.  

Here is the thought for the day;  

"I'll be happy when...." is the way many people think they are living their lives.

Yet, happiness is not something that happens to you.

Happiness is inside you now.

You are motivated from within.

You only have to allow happiness to surface.

Good Morning!!  

I remember being five or six, snuggling with my mother, how she smelled, holding her hand, feeling the skin on her face and telling her how soft it was.....  

Then I can't remember exactly when, around when I reached my maiden time, she stopped snuggling, and her attitude toward me changed.  

We became separate and confrontational.......  

Our puberty years are so delicate, we are strangers in our body, undergoing this weird (interesting) metamorphosis.  

I thought for the longest time that I did something wrong and I was now unlikeable...  

What I would have given to have the nurturing of my mother then, instead of criticism about my shortness and my swelling emotions that spilled over at any time.....  

We become uncomfortable with others shedding emotions, because we're not comfortable with our own.  

It's during our transitions that we are like Snake, shedding his skin; momentarily blind and vulnerable, utterly human...  

We must look past the emotions of others during their transitions, it is not personal, they just don't have the words to express the myriad of emotions that they are feeling.  

Love them anyway.

Be kind anyway....  

Nurture each other.  

Here is the thought for the day:  

When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,'

You just scream.

Break on through to the other side

  Good Morning!  

Sometimes we don't have anything to add when we find the right thing to say....  

 Here is the thought for the day;  

 I offer images- I conjure memories of freedom that can still be reached- like the Doors, right?

 But we can only open the doors, we can't drag people through.

I can't free them unless they want to be free.

Maybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up.

A person has to be willing to give up everything- not just wealth, all the bullshit that he's been taught- all society's brainwashing.

You have to let go of all that to get to the other side.

Most people aren't willing to do that.

My Loius Vuitton carry on...

Good Morning,

Well, the Harvest Moon is above us, I hope it is productive for everyone....  

I know first hand how we can reach a difiicult place in life, and just want it over with at all costs, regardless of what we have to sacrifice, just to run away and forget.  

 All we want the easiest route out.  

Well.....we need to embrace the process of finishing......  

As painful as it may be, the process is very necessary.....  

When we try to escape the feelings, the emotion, it will continue to plague us and it will not allow us to move forward without it tagging along.  

These issues that keep revisiting us are doing so because we are not finished, the lesson has not been learned, or we need to change the way we have been addressing the issue...  

It is not easy to remain objective, and sometimes help is needed.   

Once old issues are effectively purged. it frees up other areas of our life that we didn't realize had been affected.  

What suitcase of "goodies" are you carrying around?   

Is stuff hanging out, or maybe it won't stay closed....  

Either way, it's time to retire that old bag...

There is no room for carry on's, at least not on this Journey.....  

 Here is the thought for the day......

Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it.  

Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.
