Believing What Is Truth Not Fact

Ever since that day when the doctor announced that I had cancer I have been asked to distinguish between fact and truth.  Fact is what she told me but truth is what I believe.  Fact involves data and truth involves faith.  In this way truth and fact are very different.  Truth has helped me to keep the faith and to want to live, possibly to actually live longer.  If I let facts rule my life I would lose my faith and I would simply look at my life as if it were a statistic, but it is not.  I know that because I want to breathe because of the truth in my heart that I will continue to breathe and to live.

We live in a world of facts.  We say to others "look at the facts" and things like "the facts, nothing but the facts".  We look at fact as if it were not debatable and that the facts are the bottom line.  Perhaps in some cases it is the fact that means everything yet I cannot be the one to live in the facts as others like me cannot.  We build our life on faith and truth.  The truth that Spirit Source is protecting us.  The truth that love will prevail.  The truth that we will survive.  The truth that we will live a longer life even when the odds seem against us.

What has kept me going for over a year?  Well the support of people who love me and who have faith that I am going to be OK.  The faith I have in myself and in my own ability to navigate my life has kept me here, alive and well.  Looking and focusing on the facts depress my joy and steal valuable hours away from me.  I am not going to allow myself to do that to myself.  I do not look at the data of my health and think about death but rather life.

So if you are in that group that is told that you are sick and there is little hope or that is suffering from either an emotional or physical ailment (I call it a health opportunity) you can reframe your circumstances to fit into your own belief system rather than that of doctors or tests that have often times been wrong.  For one man I know who was told he would live six months ended up living ten years.  You and your Spiritual Source are the ones who decide how long you live.  Your faith and truth tells you how long you will be on this earth and all that things you will do.  Keep planning your life.  Keep singing or dancing or doing what makes you feel joyous and alive.  Keep living YOUR truth.

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...

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...

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 ...
