Love The Life You Have

I find that the more we complain about what we don't have, what is missing in our life or the down sides of life, the more we get of the same thing.  When we don't love the life we have we are never satisfied and we cannot get to the place where we love our life.  The only way to love the life we are in is to accept the life we live and to look at each challenge as an opportunity to grow.  Loving the life you have is the most crucial step to creating more of the life you want.  As long as we dislike our life we will not get past the things that are inevitable and part of living.

Loving the life we have means that we appreciate living and that the fact that we are breathing and alive means something.  We live in a state of gratitude and when we do we realize a life we deserve.  When we appreciate everything in our life we find out just how much that appreciation for life creates more happiness.  When we feel grateful to others and for the little things in life we live a life that feels good and that includes an appreciation for every single thing that is right about our life.

We can all improve our life but we can only do this if we live it fully.  Every day we awake we must count that as a blessing and a reason to live fully.  When we live fully we live with intention and we connect with our environment and the people around us.  Living in harmony with every entity around us is living the life we have.  Living with the intention to serve others and care for our living environment is a one way road to a joyful life that we are actively participating in.  When we participate fully in our life we are saying yes to the life we have.

When we are constantly complaining about our life and incidents and trials that come up we are making it harder to live a fully happy life.  When we see only the dark things around us we create more of it.  When we do not appreciate others nor show them that we do we become miserable and sad.  We can and do create what we focus on in life.  A focus on the negative will bring us down and make matters worse every single moment in our life.

Loving the life you have is embracing what is a part of life.  There will be tough times.  There will be difficult periods in your life.  There will be those days when you wonder and question life.  Through all of the tribulations we will experience we must appreciate life in order to have a better one.  Life is beautiful and filled with mystery.  Go forth and cease it.  Look at it with love and appreciation.

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 ...
