Desperation

Goldilocks — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:22:54 +0000

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. - Henry David Thoreau

To despair is to give up on hope. I, admittedly, have been guilty of the crippling feelings of desperation in my life. Desperate that I would never find love; work that would fulfill me, or if I would ever “just be” happy with myself. In this despair I made choices. Choices that with hindsight, lead to more unhappiness. Grasping at whatever, for that little scrap of desire… Love, Financial Security, etc. Selling myself short – spiraling and further fueling a life of, seemingly, more desperation. Despair can makes you feel as if you don’t have a choice, when deep down, we know, that we always do.

Choose love, and choose to love yourself first. Get help if you need to. Do whatever it takes. Don’t suffer quietly. Speak – be heard. Do whatever it is that you long to do. Sing your song!

Just a thought…

Love,

Goldi

The moment that we are in…

Goldilocks — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:36:00 +0000

Today I started working out. Part of my perfect life is having a healthy body. I also, embarrassingly, would like to look a little better, and get rid of some of these soft spots that have developed. I’m not really over weight for most of America. I am, however, about 20 lbs overweight, if you are in New York, Miami, or LA. My main goal is to maintain my health, and fortunately I have always been very blessed in this area of my life, but last week – my brother had a heart attack! I think I am still in shock. He is too young. I never expected to get that call. He is doing okay, and I’m putting it out there right now, that I am expecting a full recovery!

I feel like I am on the right path of working towards my perfect life, and everything that I want in it. I have moments however when I start to revert back to my old way of thinking. The phone call from my brother was a hard reminder that we are only guaranteed the moment that we are in. So we should be doing something that we love, or we should be with someone that we love, or a function serving a purpose that will help us or someone we love. Why waste any moments on anything other than joy, love, happiness, and hope. Connect only with good people and good thoughts.

Lets not waste any time – it is too precious! What is your next step toward creating your perfect life?

Love Yourself

Goldilocks — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:42:06 +0000

Kathy P wrote to me today: “Soon the snow will melt away and the Spring flowers will bloom. We can sit out in the sun and feel our spirits lift. I think April will bring new life and hope…”

My response was to remind her that every moment is a new beginning if we want it to be. We can take a moment however, if we need to sit quiet. If that is what our bodies and souls need. That may be our new beginning – the contemplation, instead of the reaction. Do what feels right to you. Nurture yourself as you would a child. Love yourself, and when you are ready, begin…

What is Love

Goldilocks — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:01:01 +0000

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Goldilocks Changing Your Life Plan

Goldilocks — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:54:02 +0000

Blogger, Writer, Traveler, Inspiring hope, and living in Peace and Love with family and friends. That is the life that I see for myself! That is the life that I am creating! So I am declaring that one year from now I will be gathering my last minute essentials and heading off on a journey of discovery. I will be traveling to all of the happiest places in the world and seeing, discovering, and reporting on what I have found and learned. I need a year to close the book on my former life. To tie up loose ends, make my plans, and to make sure that the people that I care about most are settled, secure, and are happily off on to their life journey. I also feel compelled to write a book about what brought me to this point, and I hope to have that book completed before the year is up!

That all being said… I have no idea how I am going to pull this off! I just know that I am going to do it! I also feel that making this happen, from where I am right now in my life, and from what I learn and report on my travels… will bring hope and happiness to many!

Goldilocks Experiment

Goldilocks — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:20:03 +0000

I feel a surge of love, goodness and hope! It is funny how thoughts can do that to you. Lately I have been having a hard time writing something that I wanted to publish on my blog. My original vision of my blog was to always put inspirational words on it, acts of good will, and thoughts on how we can live a better life, but sometimes it is hard. Sometimes I feel like I am being a fraud, because I do not always feel so up. Today I have been contemplating committing to an expensive writing retreat. It is what I want to do so bad. I feel it in every bone of my body that this is what I want to do. I have told you before that I see my life as a traveler, blogger, writer, and also of a person just living in peace at home with family, with friends, and in nature. My fear today is that I should not spend that money. That it may be wrong to spend that money on a dream, and as I am writing this, a revelation has come to me. That if I do not do it my dream may not happen. It may start a chain of events that limits me and keeps me filled with doubts. Other opportunities may appear that seem safer. I may take that road, and then may not come back down this road for years or ever…

My original reason for writing the blog was to get me writing. To help me to communicate with others, to feel heard, and to keep myself pumped up with positive words. I had felt myself slipping deep into a depression that I needed to get out of. I wanted to feel that someone was listening. I wanted to have hope, and it worked! I feel so much better. Down days I look at my blog and read the inspirational words that I need to remember and it has brought me back.

So I am going to do it. I am going to spend that money because the vision of myself not doing it, make my heart feel like it is breaking. It seems that if I don’t do this, life would be unbearable, and yet while doing it makes me feel excited and hopeful, it also feels reckless. Reckless at a time in our economy and in my life where future income is an unknown factor, that the money should be save for food, housing and debts already incurred. Not doing it leaves me in that self defeating downward spiral with no hope, and no happiness which I think will lead me to all the places that I do not want.

So I am going to continue this Goldilocks experiment of having the perfect life and living it in a perfect world. I will not be pushed by my fear! I will lead with my dreams, and I hope you do the same! Cheers to our success!
