Life, Love, the World, and Change!

Since I am searching for the perfect life in a perfect world… I have been giving this a lot of thought. To make our lives better and then the ultimate to have a perfect world, we need to start small, start from the beginning, and start with ourselves.   We need to realize that what we do, say, think, and act on does have an impact on this world.  As with everything in life, a rippling effect occurs.  For instance something as small as smiling when you come in contact with someone can have such a positive influence with that person, which makes them smile at the next person, and so on and so on.   Or what about taking care of yourself where you are eating right and exercising.   Then you have the energy to do so many other things, and it frees family members or others from having to take care of you, so now they have the time and energy to do more positive things. 

 

Love yourself!  Be kind to yourself!  Then be better!  Make a conscious decision to make choices in everything that you do that will help make this world a better place.  I know that this may seem overwhelming, but if we just try everyday to be a little better from whatever place we are at right now, we can help make a perfect world!

 

Just a thought!

Gift – Opportunity?

So many times we do not see the gift or the potential opportunity.  I read or heard of a test done once where two subjects were sent into a coffee shop, everything was staged the same, and all the other patrons were actors playing a specific role.  When asked about the experience the first subject said that nothing notable had happened.  When the second subject was asked they said that it was a great experience, that right when they walked in they found a five dollar bill, then he sat next to a man at the counter who was really interesting and possibly had some contacts that could help him in business.  Opportunities missed by the first subject…possibly?

 

A friend of mine was complaining about some tenants of hers.  How she had given them a chance and they had blown it, as she was talking  I starting thinking about opportunities that I felt that she had blown, and then about opportunities that I had blown as well.  In hindsight we always question ourselves, that is if we notice the missed opportunities, but sometimes we choose to not follow that opportunity path. May be because it does not feel right to us or it is not the direction that we want to take.  So then is it really an opportunity or just a different direction?

The Secret – Inspiration- Friends

I have a friend named Shelley, and her enthusiasm spills out from her!  You just really enjoy being around her or even just talking on the phone to her, because her positive energy just overflows.  She makes things happen too!  She is able to manifest that which she wants, and she has been a great source of inspiration to me.

 

Shelley and her family recently bought a big beautiful home.  Talking to her a few weeks after purchasing her home she says to me.  “I love my home! Even while I am on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor I am thinking of how grateful I am to have this home, and how I am enjoying scrubbing this floor.” 

 

My friend is also an artist, she is new in town, and she wanted to get the word out about her work.  I told her about wanting to start a blog and we have been brain storming ever since. I worked toward starting my blog and writing, and she decided to contact the news paper, and the next thing you know she becomes the featured artist. In the past when they have featured an artist it has been a few paragraphs and possibly a single black and white photo.  Her article becomes a half page with many colored photographs.  As a result of this article she gets commissioned to create a piece of art for a client.  In the mean time she is dropping off her children at school when the art teacher notices her signage on her van.  She is then brought in to teach the children her style of art.  Then, she decides that she is going to submit a design for the local city celebrations poster.  This celebration has been going on for over 25 years and is a three day event that brings in very large crowds… and yes you guessed it she is picked.  Her design wins and she will be feature and celebrated through out this event.  She will be at all of the kick off parties, the featured events, and have a signing booth during the celebration!  And… the story does not end there.  She then contacts a magazine that was interested in doing an article on her, to let them know that she that her art was chosen for this cities celebration and next thing you know she is getting an e-mail telling her that she is going to be featured in the next issue of the magazine!

 

All of this happened in about a period of three months.  Her secret I believe is that she knows what she wants.   She is truly living in the moment, is grateful for everything, and appreciates all that she has.  She radiates that spirit of enthusiasm. Then she puts her self out there.  Letting people know who she is and what she does.  Then magic seems to happen… Shelley creates the life that she wants!

 

I am learning from her. May be you can too! Just a thought!
