4 Truths About Life (continued)

As I continue the four truths of life I feel certain that for others there are four more or that some might not agree with me.  I am always OK with others disagreeing with me and so here is number 4:

4. Nothing is forever:

This truth is hard to swallow for most of us.  Everything we own, all the pretty things we have, the people in our lives and the situations are not meant to be forever.  If we accept that truth we can enjoy what we have and still be fine with it not being forever.  In this manner we enjoy what we have in the moment knowing fully that "nothing is forever" as my grandmother would often remind me of.  I would also like to warn people that focusing on "nothing is forever" could bring you down.  On the contrary be glad that nothing is forever and that this makes life an opportunity to enjoy what we have now and not become worried about tomorrow.  When we do this we live fully and we live in the here and now.  Nothing is forever can be looked at as nothing needs to be forever.  Change is a part of life and endings are usually necessary.  When on thing ends we have the chance to experience something brand new.  It is a chance to create a new life and a new way of living.  In most cases we must think about what it would be like if things, life, situations and people were forever.  Do we really want to live forever?  Do we really want to be with someone forever or live in the same place and space and time forever?  I personally think that forever would be a bit too long.

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
