BE THE PERSON YOU WANT TO SEE THE WORLD REFLECT BACK!!

Have you ever had someone present you with information that was in direct opposition to your belief system?

My earliest memory of this, is when I learned there's no Santa Claus.  Everyone has their own story about this, and it might not be a big deal.  While my experience was traumatic, and left no lasting scars, this neutral story may help in seeing a bigger picture to current life issues.

In my family, I am the youngest of three children.  When my oldest sister found out the truth through her school age friends, that there is no such thing as Santa Claus, she brought that truth home to us.  Since I was so young, this hit me pretty hard.  I couldn't believe such a thing...I wouldn't believe.  Her information was wrong, and I was going to prove it.  I went to a person I knew my whole life, who knew more than my sister, and mom would set things straight.  I came to find out that my mother backed up my sister's story.  To say I was shocked would be an understatement.  I was devastate...

Definition of "Rightness" from Webster's Unabridged Dictionary:

"Correctness or accuracy. Propriety or fitness. Moral integrity."                     

It has been said that humans know what's right from what's wrong by the time a child is 10 years old.  So why do some people lose their way and don't stand up for what's right?

Is it that we care more about what other people think of us? Perhaps we feel pressure or bullying around us. Whatever prevents us from doing what we know is right, is actually compromising our integrity.

It's not always easy to do what's right. But if we maintain our integrity, our lives get easier and our path becomes clearer.  Maybe those who don't accept us for who we are, including our desire to act responsibly, aren't supposed to be in our life anyway.

Never get tired of doing the right thing.  Humanity is counting on us!

Definition of "Freedom" from Webster's Unabridged Dictionary:

"The state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint."                      -Syn. "FREEDOM, INDEPENDENCE, LIBERTY refer to the absence of undue restrictions and an opportunity to exercise one's rights and powers.  FREEDOM emphasizes the opportunity given for the exercise of one's rights, powers, desires, or the like."

From time to time in our lives, it pays to pause and re-evaluate where we are along this journey called life.  We are ALL born free.  The question is do you believe you are free now?

If so, did you have to stand up and claim, exercise or defend your freedom?  Was this something you needed to do more than once?  Do you respect others, when you notice people standing for their freedom too?

If you don't feel free now, when did you lose your freedom?  Was it something someone took from you, or did you surrendered your freedom of choice, direction, wants and desires? ...

Do you ever feel you're being pulled in too many directions?

Are you being distracted by too many phone calls, emails, texts, social media, and/or other people's agendas landing on your path?

Either we’re going to run life, or life is going to run us. That's just the cold hard truth.  Never be afraid to look at things honestly.  Truth offers a solid foundation in which to build your thoughts and dreams on.  When you know your dreams and what you want in your life, then you can start developing different plans to achieve those dreams.  Life is a step by step process, but those steps will get you further if they are deliberate steps.

Whether I'm working on dreams or a conflict in my life, I use the 20/80 rule.  I spend 20% of my time looking at the situation honestly.  Then I put my blinders on, so I can't see any distractions...and spend the remaining 80% of my time developing a plan to get me where I want to be.

Albert Einstein said, "You cannot solve a problem with the same mind ...

We underestimate ourselves.

We are actually Power Generators!

Many look at themself as just one person.  However 1 person with the ability to FEEL, and then FOCUS that feeling to any person or destination on the planet can literally calm storms, emotionally comfort people, and neutralize combative energy.

The secret is to disconnect yourself from what others or the news tells you.  Feel whatever you want to generate.  Then intensify that feeling, feel it expanding inside your body to the point that your body feels so filled with this emotion.  Rest with this expanded feeling, enjoy it....and when you're ready, FOCUS it going to your desired destination.  Share the joyful expression of who you are, in the fullness of your magnificence.

You Are Powerful!

Just as you would toss one small pebble into the lake, there is a rippling effect that goes out in all directions. If you did the same thing with one small boulder, there would be a larger rippling effect in all directions of that occurrence.

The same thing is true with one person’s personal energy or vibrational frequency.  Frequency ripples out to our family and community around us.

David Hawkins was a MD and PhD who spent several decades test and defining the frequency between different emotions.  He defined the different levels between 1 and 1000.  The higher the number, the more the person is living in a higher state of consciousness.

Most people, on average, live their lives around 200.  This is taking into account of the times they're blaming themselves or others, feeling fearful of the future or regret the past; but also the times of feeling love for another person, and joyful surprises dropped on their path.

Did you know that one person who is aware of, and in control of...

Have you noticed the world is getting even crazier? Too many opportunities to divide us.

Could this be by design?  Divide we are weak.  United we are strong.  We don't need to have the same beliefs in order to get along....in order to respect one another.

There's a story that seems relevant for the time we are going through, which goes something like this:

“If you collect 100 black ants and 100 red ants and put them in a jar, they will live together peacefully. But if you shake the jar vigorously, the ants will start killing each other. Reds will believe black is the enemy and black will believe red is the enemy when the real enemy is the person who shook the jar.

Who's shaking your jar?
