4 Life Agreements

The four loving agreements are ones that have helped me to live a more balanced and whole and happier in life.  These agreements should not be confused with The Four Agreements of the spiritual leader Don Miguel Ruiz who wrote a wonderful book on four life agreements that I sincerely feel everyone should read about and follow.  After a long life of sixty years of which I am grateful I have come up with my own four life agreements and these are them.  Keep Things in Prospective, Keep Moving,  Choose Love, Fake It Until...

These are my Four Life Agreements: 


Keep Things in Prospective 

Keep everything that happens to you in prospective.  Don't make it into more than it is.  See that there are others going through much deeper and worse situations including the public knowledge that there are many children who are dying of hunger.  Remember that it is your prospective that is going to help you to get though the rough spots, not making a bigger deal out of it than it is.  If you keep things in prospective you will eventually address the little things as though they are little things.  There are often time bigger things and keeping things in prospective will help you when you need to address what is much morre serious.  Even when it is serious like an incurable desease we can keep thing in prospective by not allowing the news to be our complete truth and by not wallowing in it.  

Keep Moving

Keep going and don't stop and lay down if at all possible.  Don't allow things that happen to you make you stop moving and stop doing.  Keep moving for the sake of keeping yourself healthy and whole, because a body in motion is going to be healthier and able to address life incidents with more ease and grace.  Keep moving even when you are in a some pain.  Don't let a little pain stop you from moving.  There are millions of people in the world who walk around in constant pain who have not given up on life.  If life throws some physical, emotional or spiritual pain and you keep on moving and doing you will find yourself able to do more than you imagine.  Agree with yourself that you will keep moving.  

Choose Love

Intentionally choose love every day of your life.  Agree that you will live your life in love and that you will always select love.  Love over hate, love over resentment, love over anger, and love over any other negative emotion.  As you move about each day and you run into situations that anger you or upset you or make you want revenge say to yourself: "I choose love".  Tell yourself you choose love as many times as you need to say i.  Agree to live your life chosing love and being in a zone of love.  use love to conteract hate, jealousy, addictions and rudeness. 

Fake It Until It Feels Natural 

If you get up and feel down fight it.  Fake it till you make it as they often say.  There is nothing wrong with gelling yourself you are happy, abundant and whole.  Say it like this: "I am happy, abundant and whole".  Say things to yourself like: "I am loving, kind and complete".  It may feel strange and even hypocritical to say things that are not yet true but the objective is to agree to feel some good feelings and to take yourself to your place of joy by saying things that are joy filled and that convince your subconcious mind that you are fine.  In fact you are more than fine, you are great. Agree to talk yourself into a place of feeling good whether you are feeling good or not.  Take your place in the arena of love and life and stay with yourself by carrying yourself about with a smile on your face.  Soon you will feel it inside and won't need to fake it anymore.  Make that loving agreement with yourself for yourself.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is to become finan

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo
