Pay It Forward

Karma, destiny, fate.

Whatever the energy we put out we are sure to get back.
If we help others we will receive the same help when we need it.
And then some!

There is enough to go around, whatever that is.
Be it love, money, support, care, success…

We are here to do many things, and to change many lives that we come across.

It is our purpose in life to make the world a place
where everyone helps one another and a place where
care and consideration are the heart of our action.

Sure we will make mistakes, and learn from them, and hopefully not hurt others in the process.
And if we do, then we must believe in our hearts that they have been
touched by us in a way to learn their own lessons in life.

But we must make an effort to help others, and make a difference
in the lives of others, to reach out to support and love,
and show that we believe in each one of us, and our world as a collective, even in the worst of times.

For every action, there is a reaction, back to you, so choose wisely, and love like you have never lost.

Discontinued

When companies find their products can be improved and the existing ones have
thus become obsolete, they have no problem with taking them off the shelf.

Why would they want to sell or offer something that can be replaced by something
better?

In life, when it comes to our environment and what suits us best, should we not follow suit? Just as we would opt to substitute the suit in our wardrobe after weather and wear?

If something is not working for you, whether it be a job; a bad habit; a relationship or even diet and exercise, don’t you owe it to yourself to substitute it for a better valued replacement?

In speaking of value, many of us do not give ourselves enough credit for our personal
value, and will continually only accept for ourselves less quality than we are actually worth.

This is as a result of the less than adequate feeling of self worth, and what we believe we deserve to
surround ourselves with.

Falling for fashion and fads is a fallacy in itself, as fashion fades…
But creating your true style by staying true to yourself,
what you stand for, and staying true to form in your
relationships of quality is the best step towards continued growth.

Anything less than that? Please discontinue use…

Save the Date

There are always going be events or circumstances, of recreation or necessity
be it a child’s wedding, or education; or our own retirement-
that we must plan and prepare for .

And then of course, add the rainy day here, and there.

Living a life of being responsible for our financial actions and our duties coming later, is
important.

What is of most importance, however, is that though we are saving for those dates, in the future, we must not overlook today.

We must remember to breathe in the air and the
experiences that surround us, with those around us,
and live in the present moment.

We all have things to save for, and dates to circle on
our calendars. But going in circles, wondering how
we are going to find the funds of the future,
we may be in fact taking the fun out of today.

So, have fun, and know this;
If you are ever wondering where the money will come from?
It will come from wherever it is now…

Fingers Crossed

As kids, and some of us, even, now- we cross our fingers, and sometimes our toes, in hopes that things will work out in our favour.
We put attention on and aspire for the most positive outcome.

Putting energy on the positive, and hoping for the best,
we allow ourselves to see the bright side,
rather than looking at not getting what we want, believing “it” whatever
“it” may be for us- we may not deserve.
Believe, hope, and wish as much as you want, when you want, and for whatever
the reason, as long as it is a forthright thing to hope and wish for.

Whether you cross your fingers, light a candle, say a prayer,
or wish on a falling star…

It is always wonderful to have faith that everything will work out just fine.

And, you know, it usually always does- at least more often than not.

And sometimes, it may not seem like it at the time,
but I can almost bet that once you see the light a
at the end of the tunnel , you will realize why
the tunnel was so dark in the first place.

“Without darkness, you cannot see the stars”
And wishing on a star now and then doesn’t hurt either!

Goes To Show You

If we could stop pulling our hair out for all the “wrong” decisions we have made in the
past, and stop losing our heads and sleep over what could be the wrong decisions we may make in the future; perhaps all we may possibly have to do is live in the …Now?

Imagine, a life of nothing but what is.
And, if as humans, we have such a hard time of doing so, and we are so vulnerable to the past and the future- then let’s look at this for instance (meaning “now” that is).

Live in the now, whatever form that may be for you, and pretend you have nothing to lose.
If it makes you feel any better, chances are you are going to look back and realize you could have done one thing differently, anyway. So do what best you know how, now, and know, there is always a lesson behind the decision.

If, at any time you chose to look to the past for assistance, or the future for guidance; remember, none of the two exist, but you in each.

Just goes to show you, you only have you.
And just goes to show you, if you look to the past- you will be shown all that you have been challenged and already have conquered.

And the future, all that you could only conquer because of what you have been challenged and conquered, to date.

So, it just goes in the past what you have done, and goes to the future what you can only do because of the past.

As for the place you are at…. Love, and embrace…. Don’t look back- look up, and be ready for the future. It’s bright, and you are almost there.

But where you are now, is where you are… And that just is…

Rated “R”

In life, more specifically, in the movies of our lives- we have set rating systems to classify the content of material being exposed. To identify violence, mature themes, what have you, we label everything as “something.” We associate experiences, or decide not to go there at all, if we feel it too taboo to acknowledge. We would rather turn off that part of the movie altogether.

Everything around us his labeled by us. We decide that things are either good, bad, right or wrong.
This is in fact, really, not to be so.

If we can change our rating views, not just what rated movies we decide to view on TV; but take a look at our own life, we may be able to understand that life is what it is; we are where we need to be, no matter where we are.

Embracing it; loving it, and being excited about it, for what it means to us, is the first step of understanding the most beautiful things about ourselves, and those around us.
We cannot understand the content of the situation, or who we are in the situation, if we do not pay attention to every scene and how it ties into the next…

So, pay attention. Every scene has a purpose.

And, none of us are in this alone. We all have a part to play, in each other’s scenes.
Ourselves.
So, once we give up the role we feel we are labeled to play,
either by ourselves- to protect ourselves; or from others,
if we believe we have to be a certain way to be accepted,
we can then and only then start to enjoy life …

Rate R- for “REAL”

Copy That!

Why did I do that?
How many times do you say this to yourself.
You do something, and afterwards,
sit back and ask yourself why you did what you did?


Sometimes, we go as far as asking ourselves why,
before even doing it.
“Why am I going to do this?

And what do we do?
We do it.

Instead of beating yourself up for acting in ways you may find less favourable- realize that you are going to continue to copy this behaviour over and over until you catch the lesson waiting for you.
We are always going to behave in ways that we will not quite understand- but once we do understand, we can finally move on!

So when you ask yourself why, just be sure to answer!
