No Explanantions Necessary

"Whether you believe it or not, all always turns out for our own good."

Love Lucy

We live in a society that screams excuses, excuses for our excuses, and last, explanations for the excuses for our excuses. Many of our decisions, and choices are made with our mindset justifying why we are doing what we are doing.

I heard someone very motivational last week say this: "Why do we do what we do, when we know what we know?" Very thought provoking. I will bring it one step further and say this:If we know what we know, why do we let others do what they do, and we accept it in our lives?
There is no surprise that we are all in different places in our lives, all individual, and all where need to be to get to where we are going.

It is important to keep true to you, what is right for you, without any explanation.

We all make mistakes. We certainly will more often than not have an explanation as to why we do what we do. If we can take even a day and start doing things in a way that we needn't justify it with explanations or excuses, we will find that all that we are doing is coming from all that we know is right. Right? Think about it.

If we do everything in our lives, without already feeling like we must reason our choices, the choices are already set to be more favorable than not. So try it, and so will I.Make choices that needn't excuses.And certainly don't choose to do nothing in your life, and excuse that either.

Keys Made Here

"The key to abundance is just to turn to it."
Love Lucy

Many of the issues that stop us from achieving our dreams, is that we are not sure where to turn to in the first place to find how to achieve them.

We can know exactly what our passions are, but following through can be a struggle if we struggle which door to walk through. It can be easier at time, and effortless, and we feel it in our bodies, and can be thankful during these times.

But what happens when these seemingly effortless times turn to turmoil after we have triumphed? It has happened to all of us, at some point and in some way, and somewhere along in our lives.

We see things happening, we feel them as real and so we feel worthy.We follow the path and sense the magic. Then along our walk comes a 6th sense telling us to stop, surrender to what is- what we may have been stopping ourselves from looking at- and see that our path that has been successful needs to take a detour to continue in a healthy direction.

We then may wonder how such a thing can take place, after we were so effortlessly taken to success. Why and how can we be asked to turn and move away from what was, then a most magical movement to our authentic self? Simple...

The work we needed to do, and the lessons we needed to learn are integral in our growth. If we knew this door was or looked like something negative, chances are we would not have temped to turn the key and move in.

So, the Universe uses it's magic to show you light, to get you to the dark point you need to push through, to get you to an even bigger light.

So, remember:The keys to your success are there in front of you, for you and only you. Use them to grow, and don't get scared when your sixth sense sounds out a sensible suggestion to make another different move than you scheduled.

Just because we thought we saw the outcome, faith is choosing the outcome we cannot yet see, and dancing our way to the light. Love LuCy sMiLeS

Probably

"You are a class all your own, so own it."
Love Lucy

Why is it we feel the need to ask others if things are appropriate?
We ask for validation on things from work relationships, to perhaps relationships that are just not working.

I would say that there is no right and wrong answer, only right and wrong for us, but there are some answers that we clearly have that needn't be soidified by others.

We all deserve the absolute best.
We deserve to shine, and be shown love and upmost respect, from the time the sun rises, to the time the sun goes down.

No exception.

And we must carry that through to others in our lives.
No relationship is built is without work.
But work must comes from the two who are building.

In life, we may think that we should probably do a few things a bit better to maintain that foundation in our relationships that we KNOW we had.

But if you take too long a break in your building, you will also probably see that a relationship is an ongoing project built one moral and one moment at a time.

Love is an action, as is living life.
And to keep your love in your life alove, you must take action.

As the Inca Civilization breathes three beautiful rules, we can take this into our relationships and our lives:
1) Don't Lie
2) Don't Steal
3) Don't be Lazy!

So, look to your life, and life it with love, and if you cannot be sure you are following these three rules, you probably might want to try it!

Up, Side, Down

"Never underestimate the power of calm."
Love Lucy

As life has it, we can only be sure of one thing- change. We can sit and hope for better, or we can take action to make things better, making changes in our lives to better our lives.However we think is how we act in our lives, some of us, deciding not to act at all. Every last one of us knows what we need, want and can create in our lives, to have the best lives. We don't need millions of dollars to live a rich life to be wealthy.

That comes first from within. Our lives are going to have twists and turns to teach us.Whether we wake up feeling upbeat, or lay our heads down feeling beat down.We can change what is not making us the best us. No one is going to do this for us, but us.

It would be so fantastic if we had the option to just live life without having to take action, and having it work for us, always, but that is not always going to be the case.

Sometimes, however, we must sit, breathe and clear our chaotic schedules for even just a day, to get clear on what action must be taken next.

But, with calm must then come action. The fact of the matter is that we, in our hearts, always know what is not working, and we do, whether we believe it or want to hear it, have the answers to what to do that will make things work, we just need to feel it. So, what are you going to do about it? Whether you are living life up, side, or down, the lowdown is this; You can change your patterns, your posture and your place.

It just takes doing it.

Love Always,

One Way or Another

"All we want is out there, we just have to rid what is holding its space to come in."
Love Lucy

We are creatures of habit. When we do things, we tend to do them more than once.I guess it could be a sense of familiarity.The only downfall is that the things may no longer, or ever have been, working for our own good.

Whether it is a habit of eating certain things, or other substance dependencies, or doing things over and over again, schedule wise, and not getting the results;

One thing holds true- it is of much necessity in our lives to know that there is always another way, to do things, to get what you want, if what you are doing, is not getting you that.

Get it?

If we carry an 8 hour day with a breakdown of work that is not getting us the clients that we want, we can see that maybe it is not necessary for us to spend 8 hours, but maybe to breakdown 8 things to get us to success that WILL work.

Or if we are wanting to lose weight so we drink 8 glasses of water a day, and wonder why we are gaining, we need to look at what we are eating, as well, or the exercise we are doing, and change what is not working.I know I can drink 8 glasses of water easily in the desert heat, but if all my meals are sugar and carbs, I have to change what is not working.

And keep the stuff that is.

If we want more energy and we find that we lack, but perhaps have habits that are creating laziness in our lives, we must find that which will help us find energy, and stay ready to be on the go, when we must.

There is always another way to help you, to get to where you want. More money, more friends, more energy, more beauty, whether inside or out; The answers are out there.But we must get up, stand up, perhaps turn the TV off, and open the door to nature, and there will stand the door to success. Drink it in!And, don't forget your water!

HAPPY SUMMER!

Know Your ABC's

"It's one thing to memorize, another thing to understand."
Love Lucy



It is easy for us to get off track, when we have a bunch of ideas in our minds, and have a hard time to understand how to piece things in our lives together, to create a peaceful harmony.

Where to begin?

What are our priorities?

Our lists of what we need to get done can be overwhelming. Just as we may be a bit monkey minded when it comes to what we need to do in our lives, how much of this plays into what we need in our lives?

In relationships, we may notice it to be difficult to really grow with others, or have our relationships seem grounded. We wonder why certain things are happening, and for some of us, happening, again and again.

Much of this confusion and chaos can be conquered if we were to look at what we want to have in our lives, and knowing what we can and cannot tolerate- and most important acting on this. I call this knowing my ABC's!

A- Acceptance

B-Boundaries

C-Compassion

To sum it all up in one "smile" I can share with you this.



In any relationship, we teach others how to treat us.We, as the beings that we are will only do what we are being accepted to do from others.

So, no matter what the relationship, we must, have a level of what we are willing to accept in our lives or certain circumstances, not so calming and take place, and take place again.This brings me to boundaries.If we do not set our boundaries with our connection, we will wonder why we get annoyed, confused, or frustrated when things take place. The

only way things can take place that upsets us, is if we never stated our boundaries- like our emotional bubble.And lastly; Compassion.



When we are growing with others, or sometimes, separating from others, we must understand and act with true compassion. This doesn't mean that we can "accept" more than our boundaries stated, simply because we put ourselves in other's shoes, but instead, be willing and able to hold true compassion for ourselves, and others, whether or not we chose to stay or leave relationships, that may not be healthy in serving our purpose. So, know your ABC's, and watch things fall into place effortlessly.



Like any successful path- if you have a plan, you are destined to succeed. Happy Loving!

A Mile A Minute

" My job works for me!"
LoVe Lucy

Waking up Monday morning can be extra hectic; or extra special depending on how we look at it.

We have a whole new week ahead of us and a whole new list of things to accomplish. For many, the stress of starting the week, and jumping into the work can leave us drained, and at a loss of enthusiasm.

Mix that in with not having enough time to get everything done. We rush around, a mile a minute multitasking to make sure we can get in as much as we can, to save us from stressing out all week.

Sound familiar?

We all have things to do, some more than others.We all have the same amount of time to get those things done.While multitasking can help us, we can also get much more done, in much less time if we do things one thing at a time. Focusing on a single goal and giving ourselves sufficient time to do it can leave us with extra free time to break and enjoy life.

If you have a million deadlines and have been running a mile a minute to make things work, maybe change your work order up a bit. Note what needs to be done, and make time, one task at a time.

Don't think about all the other things, until the time comes to. Make your work day work for you.

Love LuCy sMiLeS
