What Are You Creating?

Everything in life is a choice. Some choices are more difficult to make than others. Yet we always have a choice about what to do, to say--or what not to do, to say. Sometimes it appears that we have no choice because we see one way of being as good and another as bad.
What if we lived free of judgment? What if everyone and everything simply is as it is and we accept that fact. We cannot change what happened nor can we change another person--even though we think they would be a better person, somehow, if they did what we think they "should" or "could" do.
The bottomline is we do not have answers for others. Actually we do not really have our own answers. If we did we would have no reason to live in this big school, Earth.
If someone behaves in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable in anyway realize you choose to see those behaviors in that person (tuning out all behaviors contary to that one) and you place the value of not being good on them! You then tell yourself you are uncomfortable. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable simply choose to see them differently or choose to stop seeing them. You control your life--no one else has any power for you. You may give away your power to others and think they have power over you. Notice the word "think." Your life is, in every moment what you think your life is.

Thoughts Create

Creating happiness does not involve a "how-to" system as much as it involves a "wake up and live" a conscious life style. Everything that exists in the world starts a s thought. Every invention was first an idea in someone's imagination. Every action you take or fail to take was first something you thought about. Thought creates the world. Thought creates each person's individual world. What you think about events determines how you responds to events.
Imagine how differently you would experience each day with the knowledgeyou have control over how you respond to life events. What happens happens. Interestingly, in Japan there is one word that means both crisis and opportunity. The same event is a disaster to one person and an opportunity to another. How you choose to act or not act is up to you. Period.. LIfe was never meant to be difficult. People, with their thoughts, make it hard or easy. How doe you see life? Do you know that struggle is optional?
Ask ourself why you stay stuck in mediocrity or even worse?

Ask Questions To Uncover and empower Your True Self

Most people go through life accepting what comes their way. They believe that life just happens. John Lennon spoke for many people with his lyric, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." Mighty disempowering thought. The thing is life is what you create it to be. Your belief system can be changed if you want to change it. The way to change your beliefs is to change your daily living patterns, i.e., your life style. One way to powerfully uncover your hidden beliefs about yourself and see your view of the world that keeps you stuck in monotony is to ask yourself questions. Health and happiness natually follow once you become the master asker in your life

Ready Fire Aim

Most people spend so much time lining up the shot, making sure it is perfect, worrying if they are not accurate they will miss the target--they spend so much time aiming they never actually get around to firing. What are you so concerned about messing up that you fail to take action because of fear of failure? Or maybe fear of success?
Some people do not act because they figure when others see how completent they are they will be asked to do more and more will be expected of them all the time. Meeting the high expectations of others can be very stressful.
Do you know that airplanes fly off course more of the time than they do on course? The plane constantly adjusts systems to bring it back on course. I recall being on one flight where the wind was so strong I am certain we were flying on an angle forward (the door to the cockpit was open and I could see our direction) rather than directly forward much of the time and still we reached our destination. The important thing is take action. Make adjusments afterward. All great work is constantly being revised and updated. Whatever you do better than doing nothing. In the words of Mike Litman, "You don't have to get it right. You just have to get it going."

What Keeps You Stuck

Each of us has a Little Voice that runs pretty much non-stop in our head--until we take control and stop it. What Little Voice? The one talking to you right now saying '"I don't have a little voice." Well, that voice runs in your head to the tune of 15,000 words per minute and most of what it tells you is negative messages about you. It tells you what you cannot do, how bad you are at what you do, how you are too thin or too tall, etc. That Little Voice is nagging at you constantly beating you down and keeping you in a hole. And there you were wondering why you feel bad about yourself. Even extremely talented people have a LIttle Voice. Those who know how to quiet it are happpy and successful in all they do. Those who let it rant on wonder why they are not successful in anything they do. Which are you? Want to change that?
