We love spending days at the beach; swimming, surfing, fishing, or just relaxing while watching the waves. The waves are constantly in motion. They come in and they go back out, they come in and they go back out, it’s a constant ebb and flow in harmony with nature. It’s effortless and therefore relaxing.  The size of the waves however are affected by winds and storms, just as we’re affected by disturbances from time to time. The waves stir up the sand as it meets the shore. As long as the storm is around the ocean remains in this elevated state of turmoil. If, however, you’d jar up that mixture of sand and ocean and took it away from the disturbance, in the stillness, the sand would settle on the bottom and the water on top would be clear.

You can’t control the storms that come your way. Sometimes you need to step away from the crazy, compose yourself, breathe, and gather your own moment of stillness. You have to bring yourself back to a state of love and peace.

It wasn’t until I let go of the out come, that what I had been working so hard to create, came flowing into my life.  The first few times this happened, my letting go of the outcome, was a little like giving up. That was the beginning of my lesson. I’ve since learned, not to give up, but to surrender to the flow of life.  Believing that every experience is part of our process to becoming the people we are meant to be. If a particular route is not working out, I relax, knowing that a better route will come around. When I’ve relaxed and surrendered to the flow, I reach the place I want to go sooner, and in a peaceful way.  I stay focused on what I’m grateful for in my life, and I smile knowing that my experiences are all working for my benefit.

Keep your focus on the possibilities. You become what you believe, so believe that you’re relaxed, you have total peace; because you are great, beautiful, wonderful, and all things work out for you. You are perfect, you are unique, you are you.
Decide everything is all right. It is what it should be. Say – I am happy. Today is a great day and tomorrow, and every day after, will be even better. Something good always happens for me.
See all the beautiful people and beautiful natural places around you. At every moment look for the extraordinary. The ever changing sky, the uniqueness of each trees, and the vibrant colors of flowers.  There is much to appreciate. 
Shut the front door.  Be the best at being you, and live, so that you will live a life full of meaning. See how you make a difference. Open the door, to live your “just right” life now.

Love, Goldi

What move will you make next.  What seed will you plant. What will you feed the seed, the idea, that will grow into your future. Will you plant it in the most healthiest natural fertile soil, and feed it clean pure water. Will you nurture the seed, pull the weeds, and care for it to help it grow. Do you see the seed growing taller, becoming into what you’ve invisioned. 

Every endeavor starts with a thought, an idea, a beginning. As the idea grows, and a few weeds pop – up we have to regroup, adapt, rethink, but continue to grow, or replant, nurture, take rest, or whatever is needed for the long goal, the ultimate destination – your perfect life. 

So what does that life look like, and what choices will you make on this new day, to start living that life now.

“….You think this is just another day in your life, it’s not just another day, it’s the one day that has been given to you today.  It’s given to you, its a gift, it’s the only gift you have right [...]]]> TEDxSF – Louie Schwartzberg – Gratitude – YouTube

“….You think this is just another day in your life, it’s not just another day, it’s the one day that has been given to you today.  It’s given to you, its a gift, it’s the only gift you have right now, and the only appropriate response is gratefulness.  If you do nothing else but to cultivate that response to the great gift that this day is. If you learn to respond as if it’s the first day and the very last day then you will have spent this day very well.  Begin by opening up you eyes and be suprise that you have eyes that you can open.  That incredible area of colors that is constantly being offered to us. For our pure enjoyment.  Look at the sky. Surreally look at the sky at how different it is from moment to moment. Think of the weather and the many nuances of the weather….it will never be the same.  Look at the faces of people. Each one has an incredible story behind their face. Story that you could never fully fathom – not only their own story, but the story of their ancestors…all the people who meet flow together like life giving water.  …These are just a few of an enormous number of gift that we can open heart. So I wish you will open your heart to all these blessings and let them flow through you. That everyone you meet on this day will be blessed by you. Just by your eyes, by your smile, by your touch, just by your presence.Let the gratefulness overflow into blessing all around you from you. Then it really will be a good day.”

We may not be 100% successful every single day but we owe it to ourselves to keep showing up, to keep trying, to keep doing what life has brought our way.  With an open heart and mind that what has come to be, somehow, is for the best.

Keep your spirit up – And, Cheers to a Great Day!

Yes I’ve been traveling again and this is Goldi’s public service announcement for those traveling on the highway.  PLEASE all highway drivers need to remember that slower cars need to stay to the right.  If you are in the left lane and someone comes up behind you. Don’t take it personally; don’t slow down to keep that person driving slow, and don’t feel that you are entitled to stay in the left lane driving at whatever speed you want.  Please move to the right.

This time is not just my thought or opinion… I’ve looked into several state dmv sites and all in one form or another say for safe expressway driving, to drive in the right, and pass on the left.

I’ve been in so many traffic jams just due to someone hanging slow in the left lane.  Causing many behind them undue stress.  We all move at different rhythms and have different agendas on different days.  One person may be out for a Sunday drive while another maybe racing to see a dying relative. We don’t know, and it’s not our job to control anything. Just please be kind and if your in the left lane, even if your passing someone and someone comes up behind you, it means they are going faster. Pass the car and then move over to the right. Let the faster car go ahead of you and then you can move back out into the left lane to pass again if needed.  Much of the aggressive driving on the highway comes from the slow driver in the left lane. So please if your in the left lane and not passing someone, make life better and safer for us all, and move to the right.   Life will be so much better.

Please facebook post and retweet this safety reminder.

Love, Goldi

We’re constantly thinking about what happened yesterday and what could happen in the future.  The thoughts are often worse than what actually occurs.  Often no thoughts are to what doors the event/s may open, and how great things can become.  It also made me think of how being in our heads, can also be like we are living mindlessly.  I know that’s a contradiction.  But, think about those times when your driving your car to work. It’s the same route you always take.  It’s become so routine, that when you arrive, you realize that you really don’t know how you’ve got there.  We’ve stayed in our heads without realizing the journey.
Do you remember a time where you’ve gone on vacation to somewhere you’ve never been, you’re relaxed, you’re looking around, you’re totally in that place and space. You see the people around you noticing the differences from your culture and theirs. You noticing the dress,The language, the smell, and taste of their food. It’s not routine, and you’re totally present.  It’s the same as when you’re with a small child and see life through there eyes. They are looking around and pointing things out. Things that you’ve seen a million times, but haven’t stopped in awhile to notice.  It’s then when you do, that you are fully living in the present. You’re more relaxed, and are living life as it is, not what it was, or what may be.  Relax and enjoy what you have right now, in this moment.
Don’t miss out on your life today!
Take your shoes off and feel the grass under your feet!  Walk in the rain and enjoy the sensation, or feel the heat of the sun on your skin! Break the routine, get out of your head, and mix things up!  Live Now, and really stop and smell the roses.

It’s even better – look around – there’s a whole garden out there. Stop and smell that! Live your life in such a way that you appreciate what’s around you now.  The good life is not always about money, it can really be about the simple things that we sometimes take for granted. Like having a job, or being healthy, or spending a night with friends.

Stop – Breathe – Look – Appreciate
