Liar Liar Pants on Fire!

"When the way you are going is not working, go the way that will."
LoVe LuCY

So many silly songs we would sing as children.
It is so nostalgic to think of them.

One I had been singing, and for absolutely no reason at all is this one,"Liar Liar Pants of Fire."

LOL!

It got me thinking...
"What does that mean, exactly?"

In some beliefs, it meant the punishment resulted from lying.
Being "spanked" by Authority, whether literally or figuratively.
Either way, this figure of speech caught my thoughts.

There is perhaps nothing that "feels" worse, than when being lied to.
It never seems to have anything to do with WHAT we were lied to, regarding, but the act of being lied to, as it makes us feel like personal respect is being disregarded.

It is also not easy to take in the fact that when others lie, it has absolutely nothing to do with us, whether or not we decide to take it, personally.

The best thing we can do, when we believe we are faced with betrayal rather than truth, is to look at the situation, with love, and with a belief that the person hurting most is the one betraying, who is only truly betraying themselves.

If we can look to all situations with loving kindness, perhaps the kind of situations that we will attract will result in more than likely, kindness, itself.

All I Wanted Was A Rose

"If we know no one can read our minds, why do we still get disappointed when they don't?"
LoVe LuCY

No matter how many different relationships we endure, we share the same relationship with ourselves.

We can attract a Business Person, an Entrepreneur, a Banker, an Artist, a Writer... Our story of who we are is already written, and we wish to share ourselves with others, whoever they are. In our connections, we may feel alienation when it comes to communicating our feelings, and moreover our wants and needs, when it seems as though our needs are not being fulfilled.

Why is it when we state what we want, it seems as though the other is so willing and very much capable of giving us all we never ask for and nothing we ever wish for? Worse is when worst comes to worst and we are in disagreement, where states are cased that everything has been given to us, and we are "still not happy!"

What then? What now?

When so many things are in duality in our world, one thing that always remains the same is this: If we don't speak up, we will be without.

There is no blame when it comes to feeling lack of our needs met. If we feel we need something, and someone decides to give us something other, we must express our deepest thoughts, and feelings.

If we do not, we cannot expect anything other than what we get. AND, if we DO speak what we feel and tell what we need, and still get something other in return?

It is up to us to either accept it for what it is, "acceptingly", or "acceptingly" move on, with love, to grow with with what we want, when what we are given is not what we need, to grow.

Consider The Source

"Do what YOU want, when YOU want, however YOU want, for whatever reason YOU want, as long as it is in love, and in line with true integrity of the soul."
LoVe LuCY

Who do you turn to when faced with a problem? When the person you are dating suddenly shifts gear personality wise; or you just found out you are out of work due to downsizing, and not sure which shift to make in your career?

We have many people we can turn to when we feel that the world may be turning on us. How wonderful it is to know that when our lives seem to be in a whirlwind, we are just a direct phone call away from help.

I have never been so blessed in my own life to have the friends that help me, daily, my life being so changed dramatically due to the support in dramatic times.

I wouldn't be where I am in every way had I not had this unconditional support that I opened my heart and my mind to, for insight and possible answers.

When finding solutions for our personal everyday problems and major hits, we must also take into consideration that everyone's opinions of what we should do next comes from their own personal circumstances and past experience, which is where they base all of their supporting information.

As do we, when they come to us for our help and hand to hold. While our supporters mean well, and have wonderful ideas to help, we must realize that it may not be the best place for us, no matter if they come from a genuine place from the heart. And sometimes, it does.

Ultimately, we always do have the best information in our own hearts to help us, and this will allow us to see through their support as a great idea for us, personally, as it fits, and opens our eyes to what is best, or it may also help us to understand ourselves, and see our answers from within come out simply through not feeling in alignment for what they are sharing with us.

Either way it is support.

Whichever way you go, always take the opportunity to seek help from supporters, as it always helps to see much that we may not see, objectively; but in the end, always make sure you go your way that is best for you.

And if you are unsure, consider that the Higher Power is always watching over you, giving you signs and messages right before your very eyes to remind you that you are always on the right path; so you can simply consider the Source, too.

As Source is always within you.

Walk The Line

"If you want happiness, give happiness to others."
LoVe LuCy

All of us have a set of values, whether we consciously or subconsciously know.Whether our top involve integrity, truth, kindness, love, support, grace, sincerity...

Each of us, when in contact with others, will in some way respond from our core values.
If we are involved with someone that we find is in some way going against a value we carry with us as extremely important in our life, we will either choose to walk away from the relationship, or on the other wise, we will dim our value's strength, in order to continue to allow this relationship to live. We have all been there at some point in our lives.It is not whether we choose to dismiss our value, altogether.

Sometimes, yes, we will.

But most likely is that we will discount our value, whether we notice this or not, in order to justify why we are remaining in a relationship or connection that isn't able to serve that value.
We will compromise ourselves to have this relationship serve us however we can, out of fear, and out of a perceived need for this relationship. In our life, and more importantly in our relationships, we must stand tall and do our best to walk the line of values we have created for ourselves.

Yes, we will veer off once in a while, but the key about getting back on track is awareness for what is going on, and awareness for why, and what inside ourselves is allowing the compromise to take place in the first place.

Walk your talk, and walk your line you have set out for yourselves, so you can be there as best you can for others.
And perhaps teach them a thing or two along the way.

Word Art

"If you want it, write it down."
LoVe LuCy

If you think of your life like a book, you can see the multitude of stories unfold, as the chapters move forward.

There are cliffhangers, climaxes, suspense, passion - you name it, each story has life. Just as our lives are a series of stories, dramas, comedy, and perhaps unsolved mysteries; by actually writing down what takes place, and better, how we feel about what takes place, we give ourselves a better understanding of ourselves and of the roles of others, and how they fit into our story.

Journaling on a daily basis, or if at least, on a weekly, or random basis allows us into our minds, if even for a moment, when life grabs us during the day, and we cannot even see where the time went.

Journaling is a great form of written meditation offering many messages from within, opening up a world of possibilities, and incredible insight about who we are, and perhaps why we do what we do.

Keeping track of our emotions and what makes us tick can give us hope, clarity and comfort.It can bring us understanding and answers as to what we are feeling, what we are perhaps hurting from, and mostly brings us a connection to self.

Your world and your story is a Masterpiece waiting to be unveiled, day after day after day.Each chapter just as equally important in creating the next.

Take time to take note of what you are doing, where you are at, and even moreso where you wish to go, and make it happen, one written word at a time!

By All Means

"When you don't have a clue what turn to take, take the one that makes you smile."
LoVe LuCy

By All Means How do you look at what you have in your life? Do you feel limited because of your age, gender, education, or race? Do you feel that you could have more if only you had more options as a child, if you lived in a different Province or State, or if you made different decisions in your earlier years?

Do you find yourself wondering what would be, and feeling as though life perhaps gave you the short end of the stick?

Do you feel scarce because your bank account doesn't have as many zeros as you may wish, and you haven't been able to take as many vacations as you would have liked, because of work obligations?

All of us, in some form or fashion may feel a lack in an area of life.Whether it is relationships, money, social status, or spiritual growth, I am sure if you take a look at everything you may be able to pin point an area that may need improvement.

Unfortunately, for many of us, by seeing one area that could use work, we tend to focus on this, and allow it to seep into our general well being, perhaps then believing that life, itself, is scarce.

Whether we wish to believe it or not, we have all the tools and resources surrounding us, that can change our thoughts, and change our lives, to create the best life we ever could imagine. But it starts with whether we believe it or not!

God didn't make us pick sticks to see who gets more and who gets less, he simply gave us all the opportunity to grow, starting with our thoughts. So whatever you are thinking, by all means, use your minds to create your life as magical as you wish.

You have all the means to do so. And if you are not sure where to begin, start with believing you can, opening yourself up to receiving the answers, and let God take care of the details.

Solitaire

Never confuse being alone with being lonely"
LoVe LuCy

Wherever we go, we always bring ourselves.

Hopefully, when meeting and interacting with others, we do our best, to be our best and to show up in our relationships as truly ourselves, giving all we can, genuinely, to others.

With very one we connect with, there lies a deep and spiritual bond, whether to learn something from them, in turn about ourselves, or to understand something very special, about the world as a whole. However we meet, why ever we meet, it is so important for not only ourselves, and for them, but for the goodness of the connection itself, that we stand in our own power, and always be true to our beliefs, our passions and our purpose. Although we learn from others, so much about ourselves, much of the magic of getting to know ourselves, from deep within, is when giving ourselves the opportunity to be alone, and in solitude.

As with meditation, mere being "with" on our own allows for deep knowledge and understanding of our core being, and our divine work that we are here to master.

While our days are spent perhaps working in our offices, or in our homes, focusing on what needs to be done; and while we may crave the interactions and social engagements after such a hard day, taking time to focus on our connection to self can be just what we truly need for personal balance. So take time to get your work done, and always make time for friends and family, but don't miss out on spending time with "you" once in a while too!
