You can Create Your Own Life

            I have been on a journey to find happiness, hope, beauty, meaning, love and much more this year.  I now realize that through my study and practice of the Law of Attraction that I can ask for and receive the things I want and need from the Universe.  I also know that I Deserve to ask the Universe for these things.  When my self worth was low because of my regret about past mistakes I didn’t feel I deserved much.  When I felt undeserving I wasn’t able to access the power of the Universe. 

            Today I don’t have all the things I want, but what I do have is belief.  I believe for the first time that I DO Deserve happiness and I Can have all the things I want in my life.  I don’t have to be perfect, but I have to believe and work with the Universe instead of against it.  The Universe is always trying to give us clues and hints so we can find our path in life easily.  It’s us that always gets lost, we fight the Universe because we don’t believe.  We let negativity lead us astray and when we get lost its painful.  Then we blame the Universe for being cruel, when we just need to learn to listen and participate in our life from a positive place.  When we listen to the Universe it is only then that we will become a Powerful co-creator of our own lives.

I Have Control Over My Life

Monday August 13, 2012        

Today I realize that I can exert control over the suffering in my life.  For many years I thought that the pain in my life was somebody else’s fault.  Seriously, what average person doesn’t blame onto others for the pain they feel, most people after all aren’t masochistic.  I don’t need to blame myself for the pain that I let other people inflict on me, and blaming myself won’t make change easier.  Though I do realize that I need to take responsibility for the way that I internalize how other people treat me.  I also need to take responsibility for the many times I have allowed negative and bad people to remain in my life.  I know I never asked for people to treat me badly, but I did allow them to hurt me by allowing them to continue being involved in my life. 

People have trouble believing that they actually have control over there lives.  It is easy to find reasons to blame others for their impact on our lives.  It is true that you are not responsible to change other people’s behavior, so you aren’t to blame when other people do bad things.   You are responsible for who and what you allow into your own life.  You can only have the positive and productive life you want when you stop making excuses for others behavior, and start to take responsibility for the people you surround yourself with. 

When you start to take an active role in choosing the types of people you allow yourself to be surrounded by, that’s the first step to stop your suffering.  If there is someone in your life that you can’t avoid, then you have the power to change how you let them influence or affect your mind.  You don’t have to suffer, you don’t deserve pain, you are worthy of love, kindness, and generosity.  Don’t believe that you can’t do better.  We all deserve and can have a life without suffering, we Can Choose to start leading a happier life.  Choose your thought and actions as wisely as you should choose your friends.

Our Human Experience

Tuesday August 7, 2012

            Today I was reminded how beautiful life is, and I am truly thankful for that.  The beauty in life is so simple and natural, maybe that’s part of the reason that people stop seeing the beauty around us every day.  So often we are bogged down with problems, stress, disappointment, and expectations that we forget to be thankful.  People can forget to be thankful for the simple beauty of life and for the human experience. 

            The human experience isn’t meant to be perfect, but deep down it’s perfectly simple.  We as humans are given the gift of life, not just existence, but life and higher consciousness.  We experience emotions that other creatures in the natural world will never be a part of.  These emotions that we are blessed to have access to are the basis of our lives.  Many times when we are experiencing painful emotions it’s difficult to be thankful for the experience that we are given.  Though when we come through the pain, the happiness and beauty of life is even sweeter.  It is only because we are aware that pain and negativity is out there, that we can truly appreciate beauty and happiness.

            When we realize that every emotion and experience we have is important.  It is then that we can influence our lives with the choices we make.  We can choose to be stuck in pain, or choose to try and see beauty.  We can choose to accept that negativity is part of our world, but we don’t have to let negativity be part of ourselves.  We can choose to forgive ourselves and others for our imperfections.  When we choose to have as much good in our lives as we can, it’s then that we are choosing a Great Life.  What kind of choices can you make today to start Your Great Life.

We deserve better then Apathy

Monday August 6^th, 2012

            I have been working with the Universe every day to improve how I feel about myself, and have the kind of life I dream about for a few months now.  Today I was wondering why the life I was leading before wasn’t working for me.  Then it hit me, apathy.  My life before was Filled with Apathy.  I wasn’t truly happy, and I wasn’t truly unhappy.  The only thing I am sure about is that I was apathetic about almost everything.  I was afraid to care, I thought I would be hurt if I didn’t have what I wanted so I stopped dreaming.

            My simple definition of apathy is just not caring.  Not caring about yourself, not caring about others, not caring about your dreams or even your happiness.  Apathy causes people to Just Exist, we become a shadow of the people we could be.  We don’t experience real happiness, joy, or love.  When we can’t experience happiness, joy, and love first within ourselves, then for others we begin to die inside. 

            I am so perfectly blessed that I have begun to realize that we have choice.  We can live our lives in “the positive” or we can live our lives in “the negative” and what is in between is apathy.  I didn’t know I was living in apathy because I believed that if my life wasn’t bad, then my life must be good.  Today I know that I won’t settle for an apathetic life, I don’t want to exist somewhere between bad and good.  I want happiness, positivity, dreams, adventures, love, and to be surrounded by others who want that kind of life.   Do you live in the positive, or does apathy invade your life daily?  What kind of dreams have you forgotten about?  How can you start to live in the positive, right now?

Suffering from within....

Friday August 3, 2012

Have you ever heard the saying, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder?”  Well I have always believed that to be true.  I have also come to realize that suffering is in the mind of those who suffer, and everyone at one time or another has and will experience suffering.  Knowing that we all suffer and choose what to internalize means is that no one can make us feel a certain way.  People can influence our lives in both negative and positive ways, but WE are the ones who decide what to do with those external influences.

            We are the only people with control over our minds.  Other people can influence us, but in the end we are the creators of our own thoughts.  Our thoughts come from our brains, and our brains can be controlled.  Just like many things control of our minds is never perfect, we are human, and part of a world which contains plenty of imperfection.

            Just because we are the controller of our own minds, thoughts, and emotions doesn’t mean we can always make ourselves stop feeling pain.  What it does mean is that we CAN and should continually work our minds.  We should never stop practicing having control of our thoughts and emotions.  We also shouldn’t blame ourselves when we can’t ALWAYS be in complete control of our thoughts or emotions.  We just need to be aware of the choices we make so that we don’t hurt ourselves or others with our decisions.  What can you do with the power of Your Mind?  What kind of positive choices can you make today?

Life without Boredom...

Thursday August 2, 2012

            Is boredom normal?  Is boredom negative?  Many times when I am feeling down its not just because I’m sad, a lot of times I’m just bored.  Boredom is something that I have been experiencing more recently.  The thing is that I wasn’t busier before, I think I just didn’t care.  I didn’t want to have things to do, or people to be with.  I was so comfortable in my apathy that I didn’t realizing how bored I was.  I didn’t even realize how unhappy I was.

            Have you ever heard someone say, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.  I always assumed that was in reference to something good that you had which you lost.  I know that sometimes the opposite is true.  I think sometimes you don’t realize how sad or apathetic you have been, until you find happiness.

            I have started to find so much happiness.  I don’t want to sleep all day, or watch TV all day, or be alone all the time.  I want so much more, and for the first time in my life those kind of desires don’t scare me.  I used to be frightened to really want something, because I was sure if I didn’t get it I would be sad.  I realize today that those thoughts were just fear trying to control my life. 

When I allowed my life to be ruled by fear I stopped really dreaming, hoping, and expecting good things in my life.  Today I still get bored, the difference is that every day I have more positive feelings and emotions in my life to replace the boredom and fear.  I look forward to tomorrow.  I don’t want to stay in bed all day.  I WANT TO LIVE LIFE.  I know I will continue to be happier with every moment.  Love and Happiness is abundant and I want my share.

Foundation for the Future

Wednesday August 1, 2012

            “It’s places like rock bottom where we have the incredible power of choice.  Do we give up, or do we, as JK Rowling suggests, use rock bottom as solid foundation to build on.”   Vivek Wagel

            I haven’t quoted anyone else in my blogs until today, that is until I read this quote by Vivek Wagel.  Until recently I often felt that my past was dragging me down.  I felt like my mistakes would continue to negatively impact my life forever.  I was unable to see how I could Truly use my past to make my future better.  My vision was clouded by pain and regret.  Recently I have realized that dwelling only on the negative of my past, was just bringing more negativity into my present.  If I allowed myself to continue being surrounded by all those negative thoughts, how could I ever manifest a positive future.

            Today I envision a future filled with possibility, happiness, prosperity, and love.  More then that I have begun to forgive myself for the mistakes of my past.  Through my study of the Law of Attraction I have been blessed with hope, belief, and being.  The hope I feel is not just “hoping for the best”, because that isn’t how to attract the things I want in my life.  The hope I am talking about is the positive basis for my emotions, it’s my solid foundation for the future.  When my emotions come from a positive place it’s possible for me to believe that I will have the future I envision.  With that belief in my future I KNOW that the Universe will put those beliefs into being.  My future is my own, it’s beautiful, and I’m building it every day.
