power of observation

The Power of Observation

Feel love, happiness and joy that are surrounding you.  Take moments during your daily routine to stop and notice what is going on, see and feel the warm beautiful sunshine, or experience the quiet of a gray, rainy day outside your window. Let the smile of a small child touch your heart. Mentally send a blessing of love and balance abundance to everyone you meet during your day.

This is an especially important step to do because whatever energy you give out to the world will be returned to you.

You must be an active and willing participant in this dance and song of life.

You must become involved by reaching out so you can reap the abundance of the Universe is offering you now.

In order to harvest the fruit of your blessings, be ready to move outside your comfort zone. You cannot expect to fulfil your dreams by sitting around watching television.

“I am capable or realizing my dreams”

Acknowledge your worth and love yourself…. This is where it all begins.., where it ends.

This is very important for you to remember. “You do have the Power to succeed”

Know that the thoughts that empower you to succeed come from your true self and Higher Power.

Love yourself and embrace the incredible blessings you have been given.

Now, more than ever, know that it is not only possible to change your way thinking but also your actions.

This steady change will allow your dreams to blossom and be realized.

“The Universe is change: our life is what our thoughts make it” Marcus Aurelius.

Concentrate on:

Focusing on you: on your best achievements, both big and small, and your ability to succeed.

Quieting your mind: for 15 min each day in order to feel the energy flow within you. This will help get your thoughts moving in the right direction so that you can begin realizing your dreams.

Choosing one goal and taking your first step achieving it.

Believe in yourself

Use this inner power to change your life.

Anytime you express your authentic self, you will discover avenues of achievements that you would never have dreamed of.

This is a very exciting time for you, since your unlocking your potential. Most important: to believe in yourself. Then next important this is to embrace perseverance - do not give up for any reason until you are living the life you want.

Trust your intuition, it will not steer you wrong.

If deep down your unconscious is telling you “There has to be more to my life” rest assured that there is more, and that it is time that you went after it.

We live in a world of many different distractions and opportunities, but we sometimes get lost in the world in which we live and over-look some of the wonders that are right around us. I love to explore and find new things to do and visit, and once this is done I make plans to investigate the place in question or put it off for a later date. Life has so many interesting things to see and do, which make life for me interesting. Some people refuse to glance around the corner to see what is there, because they are afraid they might not like what they see.

Why let the trepidation, fear and apprehension of the unknown stop you from exploring, glancing and with your eyes, so your mind can take in new and wonderful things. I love to walk first thing in the morning when the new day is upon us and everything is fresh and new and survey the area in which I live.

I live to explore and what I see sooner or later gets relocate and resettled into and poem or article, and it could be just a quick view of a wild animal or a person talking to someone on the street, I never know what is a waiting me and that's what make life interesting for me.  I have been told that I have total recall when it comes to describing what I have viewed or heard, and for the most part they are right.

It's because my mind is open to new ideas and I don't have selected seeing or hearing, like so many people do. I watch people and I find so many people walk with their heads down and don't even look around and I understand sometimes people need to get to a place in a hurry, but how much time does it take to view the areas you have just pasted?

 I was downtown this morning having coffee with a friend and as I was listening to her, I started looking around at people, just to see what they were doing and I started to chuckle at what I was seeing, sometimes people are like ants and just go from A to B without taking the time observe what is in front of them.

You can see it on the faces of people the ones that look where they are going and the others that just go from point A to B, and I think to myself, "How much are they missing in life".

There is another tool that can help clear away the confusion of relationships discord and point the way towards better, stronger connections with each other.

Knowledge is power, and then how you know what you know has a huge impact on how much power you end up having.

Separate and connected knowing is both diagnostic and healing for couples, who have trouble achieving a natural balance of giving and receiving.

Cognitive - in head – “Separate” knowing.

Holistically integrated mind and emotions is “Connected” knowing.

Everyone employs both methods, but everyone tends to use one more than the other.

Knowing the introduction of both helps people becomes aware of their own barriers and limitations at the same time clarifies how to overcome them.

“Knowing” is closely related to “Receiving” which is why it’s relevant.

Saying you know something is really saying that you’ve received information of a certain kind and you have processed it in a certain way.

If you have a “broken receiver”, as you can put it, your ability to know is going to be more limited than it would if you had never experienced self-rejection, and the consequent inability to absorb information about your missing self. If your capacity for receiving love is impaired for all the reasons, and in all the ways, you will have a corresponding restrictor in your capacity to know.

There are certain things that you will not know, and the things you do know, you will only know in a separate or connected way.

I have the natural ability to read people, and it has helped me come to understand myself, because I take the time to view what is around me and not over-look the world in which I live in. I think it's important to spend time viewing the world you live in and not just walking by it, because one day what you see now, can help you in the future or heal your past.

Walls

By Sonia F Stevens©

 

We each have created walls.

It is because we all have had our own falls.

Some walls are high.

Some walls even block out the sky.

Some walls are thin.

There are walls, which encumber a rim.

Walls are thick so nothing will break in.

There are invisible walls and walls with cores.

There are all types of walls

There are so many ways, so many falls.

We can defiantly make our own walls.

 

We learn from our walls

We all shut those doors on those walls.

Each person has pain

Each person has a dark blame

Each one of us is also to blame

Because of  all these walls,

We unwittingly make some desirous calls.

These walls were put up for protection

These walls are also our rejection.

But the walls are our own prison

Because, well all are forgetting our affection...

 

This is a major case for reflection

These walls have to be our own damnation.

We could never adjust for our own protection.

We all fear everyone’s rejection.

 

When these walls fall down

We each can turn around.

Come to terms with all matters of life

To heal and grow and live a true life.

For, we each have to live a life

To turn and learn

To experience, to dream

We each have the right to live out our own life.

We each have the right to speak, to listen, to question,

To answer, to learn, to teach and even to preach.

We are all learning, growing, and even showing.

 

Each, every single person has a right to live a life.

Each one of us has the right to give, to ask, to receive.

We are all worthy to live our own life.

 

The walls can be hard

This is because we learnt hard lessons

Do not want to remember what was on the agenda

While we were growing.

Each wall is different

 

Spend time to really care

Spend time to remember why those walls are there.

Then take the time to really care

These walls need your particular care

 

You have a chance to soften the walls

You have a chance to even break down those walls.

Show yourself that you can really care

Care for yourself.
