Where are you going?

 Every day starts as a clean slate.  You wake up and the first thing you do is make the decision to open your eyes and embrace the day.  What will you make of it?

A whole is made up of many parts.  Change one part and it effects every other.

A journey begins with a single step.  That step by necessity must be a decision.  If followed by action then you have progress.

Progress brings about change.  Where that change occurs in your life depends on where you place your focus.  But by focusing on one aspect of your life does not mean that you are ignoring the rest.  Because, if you change one part you change the whole.

Perception is the key!

Find yourself in your dreams. 

You have as much control as you give yourself. 

Thoughts shape your dreams…dreams shape your reality.

Those who think they can and those who think they can’t are both right.

The glass really is half full and half empty.

You decide for yourself.

Peace,

Christy

I feel myself changing inside, allowing myself to dream again.  Hope does that for you.

To work so hard and feel so beaten down, like every decision you have ever made was a huge mistake, how can you live with that?  It eats at you and makes you second guess yourself.  You start wondering about the good things in your life and if you can ever be worthy of them.

Then something happens that brings with it hope!  Something starts to work, and you are afraid to look right at it like it will disappear if you let it know you know it’s there.  You’re guarded with your actions, thinking if you’re too confident something will surely pull the rug out from underneath you and you’ll be left flat on your face - again.

Time starts moving in slow motion.  You feel some sort of control yet you know life cannot be controlled, only lived as it comes.  Still, our dreams, hopes, and desires help create the flow around us that brings the tools and substance that will create the future.

I’m hoping to do better this time around…make better decisions…realizing that I am me and I can only be me.  But I can change by learning.  I can become something better by learning.  I can be more than the sum of my existance.  I can learn by peering into the future.

Listen, learn, become…

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. – Melody Beattie

We come into the world naked both in the flesh and in our minds.  We have only our genetic make-up to give us guidance of who we might be.

Are you a victim or a survivor?  Do you grieve or rejoice?  I know these are simplistic questions and that the questions of life run much deeper than this.  Still it comes down to whether you see the glass half empty or half full.

I look back on my life and see my blunders:

• the ill concieved plans for a business
• the many scams I invested in and lost thousands
• the MLM business opportunities that sucked me dry
• the chaotic mess my life has become as I work multiple J.O.B.s to try and pay my debts

Yet in all of this I see the glass half full.  All of this has made me who I am.  It has deposited me where I am now and I see no better place to be than here now. 

Life…God…has gently kept His hand upon me…blessed me with a loving son.  He has impressed upon me the reverence of the Earth and a way I can respect Her.  I have a place where I am comfortable with me.

For now I am grateful for what I have:

• a roof over my head, such as it is
• heat, food, companionship
• work
• transportation
• my computer

From my heart to yours, may you find hope in your own gratitude.

Listen to your inner voice, learn to trust it and it will lead you to yourself.

But what about when your heart wants to go in a place that others hold the power?  Then your destiny is controlled by that other person.  How do you know your destiny is safe?

The answer, of course, is you don’t.  For no man can know what is in the heart of another man. 

So what can you do?  Do you step back and cower, afraid to move forward because you do not have control over your own destiny?  If you do this you will never move and your life will become stagnat and little pieces of you will die. 

I say you have to move forward in faith, believe in the direction of your heart, and…have a contengency plan.  A what if plan.  Move forward with your eyes wide open and create the power in your life through your love and joy.

Face the facts.  There are always just two choices in life.  Depending on the choice you make will determine your next action. 

So get on with it.  Decide what you want and then make a plan on how you will get it.  Make adjustments along the way, but just do it.  Don’t stop. 

Follow your heart and it will lead you to your one true path.  Don’t get caught up in your own illusions about what you think that should be.  Have faith…Where you are is exactly where you need to be.
