It's Really All about You

Here is the song:


It’s Really All About YOU

It’s really all about you
And your point of view
EVERYTHING is life is really
All about you
And your point of view.

When you look at life,
Do you see the struggle?
Do you see the strife?”

OR

Do you see the sunshine?
Do you see it’s bright?
Even through the darkness,
Do you see the LIGHT?

Do you see that everything is all right
No matter what is going on,
No matter if you’re up or down?
It’s your choice to wear a smile.
It’s your choice to eliminate the frown.

BECAUSE

It’s all about you
And your point of view.
EVERYTHING in life is really
ALL ABOUT YOU!

You Gotta Love It

Sometimes life seems just a tad challenging--just a tad, right! Well, how are we going to grow without the challenges that get us thinking, that cause us to be creative, that drive us to move forward and stay the course? Think about it, what is the alternative to challenge?
I spent the past four months in a small town--my new home in the mountains. I love it here. The air is pretty clean and definitley cooler than any place else I have lived. The people are terrific and nice and helpful.

Everything is great, right? Well, in four months I have not had a reliable internet connection or telephone service I can depend on. I do my business by phone and internet. Do you think maybe I have been challenged? Every time I think I have the issue resolved my connection goes out--in the middle of uploading websites, in the middle of getting phone help for the router--the times I most want it all to work.

What I learned is to smile and laugh. The thing is I used to take everything so seriously. Life just is. Events just are. So-called problems are really delays to slow me down, to calm me down to cause me to step back and look at priorities.
Someone asked me how I was today. I started to say "You don't want to know." Then I smiled and said "Terrific. I am on a great adventure!" I instantly felt better and the Universe brought gifts to my world in all knds of unexpected packages. They are alwyas there for the taking, just need to know that truth to find them.

My motto reflects my deep belief and defines the path I walk:
Be well and happy. In the end nothing else matters.

Staying On The Happy Path

I have the good fortune to know a brilliant gentleman who teaches accurate thinking. James Critchfield, D.C. describes life as being on "the happy path" or falling off "the happy path." What a great way to talk about the choices we make. We choose to see things in a way that keeps us balanced or we choose to view life events in a way that upsets us in one way or another.
In The Science Of Getting Rich Wllace D. Wattles taught Universal laws, laws that exist and are applied whether we know about them, believe them or not. One of those laws is the Law of Polarity that states, in essence, if something is good it is also bad. I am now (wasn't always) a person who turns lemons into lemonade in more than just the culinary sense. I have lived many life threatening adventures that turned my world upside-down. While my friends and family saw the bad in those experiences I saw the good--how I grew and made my life more meaningful. I saw, in the process, if something is a little good then it is simultaneously a little bad and if something is a lot bad then it is also a lot good--all depends on how we choose to see it.
There is yet another consideration when evaluating life events (if we continue to judge them). If we never know sorrow how can we know joy? If we never know pain how can we know comfort? Polarities exist so we can experience life. How we experience life leads to our self esteem which dictates how we experience life. Hmm--a cycle we control.
REady to Get Unstuck?

Love Is--Not what You Think

All of us go through relationships with people who, we are sure, are "the one." What attracts people to each other is underlying energy signals of which we are unaware. What we don’t know we don’t know is what gets us into the state of being stuck. Have you ever noticed that some people get divorced then turn around and marry the first spouse all over again--only the second spouse has a different name and face?
People attract who they are. Many of us are looking for ourselves, for our identity. As our self-image changes and we grow in maturity we will attract different people who are at the same point at each corresponding level.

The key is to love oneself. Since we are going to attract the person we are then it makes sense to be certain we are who we want to be. Most important, we need to be sure we love ourselves. It is not possible to love another without true self-love.
We need guidance to ask the questions that guide us to uncovering our True Self. Self-image runs lives. Self-images are usually inaccurate. Self-discovery is the path to freedom and really honest unconditional love.
If there are conditions in the relationship then no matter how that person acts or fails to act is accepted. One single behavior, not necessarily liked or condoned, is accepted rather than judged when love is present. In a relationship where a behavior or action shuts down the love feelings--well, there was no unconditional love in the first place. Love is always unconditional. Anything else is just emotions, feelings, not love at all. Armed with that knowledge we will be spared the pain of broken romances.

Replace Stinking Thinking With Accurate Thinking

The term Accurate Thinking is popping up in more and more places these days. What is Accurate Thinking? Knowing the world just is and events simply are what happens is Accurate Thinking. We assign meaning to events creating Stinking Thinking. Those kinds of thoughts cause us to feel hurt, sad, angry etc. Those thoughts lead to judgments about how something is and how it should be according to us.
When something in your life goes differently from how you expected you have two choices. You can interpret the result as being good or bad OR you can simply recognize the event went the way the event went.
Self esteem entails knowing you control how your world flows or ripples. You alone place obstacles and you alone burst through obstacles once you see how you created them in the first place with the stories spoken in your mind. Life comes down to the choices we make in each instance.
How do you find possible choices? Ask questions. You Gotta Ask Questions. The quality of your life depends on the quality of the questions you ask yourself. Start with asking what you were thinking when you had certain feelings or emotions. Notice the thoughts that were present for you during specific emotional experiences and you will uncover hidden information about how to alter your reality around those types of situations. What you once chose to learn can be replaced by new actions that allow you to feel differently--happier and healthier. Remember your self-image determines your level of self esteem dictating limits you impose upon yourself. Want to change your self esteem? Live consciously.
