The writing..not the spelling

Good Morning people!
I am in a writing mood again.. been awhile... where do I begin?! I could write about the weather or the political, or even about the food places which have been a big let down... I am thinking of writing it all down in my books again.. and then trans to computer... then adjust with spell checker etc... later.. I find writing in hand more feeling that onto the computer, directly.. As my feelings with spelling mistakes and all...more open than that of a computer... As you get the flow of writing and it doesn't stop for correction or highlights mistakes which take away from your thought process.. Writing in a book on the pages.. with doodling's and scribbling's seems to open up a world where your really expressing your words and feelings.. what ever they may be...People are so judgmental when you write.. Pick out the mistakes. .but not taking in the writing itself or the story your describing.. the creative part of the expressions.. they love to place the negatives, rather than seeing what the person's writing about.. interesting... me, I read the words and get to the heart of it.. not the mistakes and the spelling.. for that is only the cosmetics of writing.. The story is important... Then again... some people are not creative and can only see the mistakes and not the story behind those mistakes.. That in itself is interesting as the writer can see that they cannot read the story... only the mistakes which those people pick up....
I sometimes read, many books have untold mistakes in them and they are best sellers, yet it is the story which gets to me... when the story is good ,, then the rest is not so important..cave men had no spelling.. but their stories lasted more than centauries..

 

I found that who I am is unimportant. What I do is more important. Inspire creative passions which you were born to achieve and be, is!

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.

Earth, Wind, Fire, Water is life

have positive thoughts

To clear negative energy, try this 3 -step process:
1. Take ownership: “When you think everything is someone else’s fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy.” – the Dalai Lama
2. Cancel negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts. This takes practice, dedication and making a decision to see the world through the eyes of “what can go right” instead of “what can go wrong.” You’ll have to catch yourself anytime you are acting out or speaking out your negativity, and immediately change your tune.
3. Use the Love or Above Spiritual Toolkit to clear your energy and bring more light and love into your life; visualize the positive instead of getting sucked into negativity; overcome past conditioning; think intuitively from the soul instead from ‘reality’; create a new, desired reality in your imagination and manifest it in the outer world. Nobody wants negative energy to permeate their lives, yet many of us allow it. But we allow it unconsciously, based on past conditioning that suggests an inevitable outcome to certain situations. When you overcome that conditioning and realize that the future is NOT cast in stone but that you have more control over your circumstances than you believe – then you can begin to consciously design your life.
What’s going to happen then? Your positive energy will magnetically attract what you consider to be good and right for you: people, situations, things… and you’ll notice a huge, huge increase in your happiness and inner peace.
Why not choose positive energy? Make some changes within, and you’ll quickly see positive changes in your life. Enjoy the good feelings and abundance!
