Making a Difference

I ended my blog the other day with my usual tag of Love, Goldi – Searching for the perfect life in a perfect world…but then I added something that has been on my mind for a while. “Remember that to make a difference in the world we need to begin with ourselves. The choices that we make influences everyone around us, and to change any part, changes the whole.” Whatever we do, say, or feel has a rippling effect…if someone walks into the room with a really positive happy outlook, and is boiling over with enthusiasm.  You feel it! It makes you start feeling more optimistic, and then it makes who you are around feel a little better, and so on, and so on.  Think about it…if everyone just genuinely smiled, even if the thoughts and feelings of gratitude came from the place of Thank God that I have the ability to smile, the world would be a better place. The same weight is placed on our actions and the choice we make.  Have you ever noticed if one person moves into a neighborhood and straightens the house and yard up, that it makes everyone else want to do the same. It makes everyone want to be better.   So I think our job is the same whether we choose to be Doctors, Housewives, or Automotive Mechanics, we are to be happy with what we choose to do, and we are to do it the best that we can.  If we are not, then we need to find what brings us joy.  Do not compare yourself with others, just do what feels right for you.  Take care of yourself physically and mentally, so that others feel the joy.  Choose what is best for you, and you will help make the world a better place!

Just a thought!

The Answer to all of Life’s Questions-The Bear in the Room!

Are we so focused on what we want, or what we think is happening that we miss the big picture? Is it really that easy to see it when we look for it?  When others are caught up in a drama it is easy to see what they are missing. You just want to yank them and shake them until they wake up, but it is hard to do it with ourselves.   In the past I have been just as guilty, not seeing my own drama, or patterns, or whatever else has been holding me back. Years have gone by and I did not notice the bear, until he began to jump up and down right in front of me. Positioning himself just so…to where I could not look around him anymore…wanting me to see him, and it is then and only then that I did.

So it made me realize that this is the answer to all of life’s questions!  That the answer is right here if we just see it.  So let us stop what we are doing right now!  Breathe…Relax…Slow down our minds… Start zooming out on life.  Get a little distance from it.  What are we missing? In business? In love? With our family?  With our friends?  Start to watch your life as you would be watching a show!   What would you do differently?  What needs to be done?  What changes would you make?  You know the answers…if you don’t, keep zooming out.  Give yourself some distance until you can see the whole picture.  If it helps, look at your life as if you were looking at someone else’s…what would you see?  What would you say to them? What would you change?  The answer is right in front of you!  Look for what is obvious!  See the bear!

Woodstock – 3 Days of Peace and Music

WoodstockPoster

I am not exactly sure what the Tipping Point was that allowed a peaceful event to take place at Woodstock. It was one of the most tumultuous times of the 1960’s, and was coupled with the fact that so many things went wrong… they had a shortage of food and facilities, a soaking rain, with an unexpectedly excessive amount of people, and a lack of organization for the peaceful chaos that ensued.  This seemed to be the perfect ingredients for some sort of helter skelter, but it did not happen… why?  Was it just something that the collective majority desired and envisioned?  Was it just the fact that the focus was on Peace and Music?    What made this event different than other events that took place at the same time?   I am not sure what the answers are, but I do know that it happened, and it is proof that peace is possible in times of chaos!

So let us remember on this and every Anniversary of Woodstock that we have proof that we can have peace now, in whatever we are personally and collectively going through…
