Love The One Your With!

Someone once said to me that Love is a choice, and being a woman with so much feeling and emotion, I disagreed with him. Years have gone by since then, busy running through my life, and now that I am trying to be still more, and have taken a step back to observe and listen, I think that he is right.  I watch and listen to my married friends, and friends in relationships, and I see that with just a change in perception, a choice, that things including feelings would be so much better. 

 

I listen to men and women complain about their spouse or significant other, about what they do or don’t do and how it makes them feel.  But what about what they do…  It is very easy a single person to see this, because we do not have anyone doing anything for us.  So women and men appreciate all that your spouse or significant other does for you.  If they bring you so much as a glass of water, or carry your dishes to the sink, or if they have a job that helps support your household, then love them, appreciate them.  If they stay home with children, clean your home, do your laundry, pay your bills, love them, appreciate them. If they are sick or unable to do anything but love you, love them, and appreciate them.  If you’re unhappy still, do not blame your partner, make changes to do things that will bring joy to your life.  Choose happiness, choose to focus and appreciate what you do have. 

 

If you are still not getting it, think about it this way… imagine for a moment that you are alone, homeless, and wondering where your next meal was coming from, really think about how you would feel.  Wouldn’t you appreciate all that you have now?  Wouldn’t you really appreciate all that the other person is giving you now, as a great gift?  Don’t worry about the little things.  They are just that, little things.  If you have a roof over your head, food in the pantry, and someone who cares if you make it home at night… you are blessed!  It is your perception that needs to change.  So choose to appreciate and love the one your with!

Who’s Got Your Back?

Keith Ferrazzi has a new book called Who’s Got Your Back.  I have not read it nor have I read his first book Never Eat Alone, but may be I should.  I believe that to have a perfect life in a perfect world, no matter what the life is that you want to create, that we need to have great relationships. 

They say it takes a Village to raise a child, and I say that we need that village to stay with us as we grow old. The village may change a little, people moving in and people moving out, but we need people around us who have our backs.  People, who care and support us, people who will not only hold us accountable but will encourage us to continue to create the life that we want. 

We can not do it alone and feel fulfilled.  Success at any level feels empty if you have no one to share it with, but that being said, we need to love ourselves first.  We need to know the strength of our village members. We need to know who has our back, and if we find that our village is too small, or that no one in our village is capable of giving us the encouragement and support that we need.   Then we need to love and respect ourselves enough to know, that it is time, to bring more people in.

Green Shoots in Our Economy

Bernanke needs a new pair of glasses! Unfortunately I am afraid that the green shoots that he is seeing are weeds, and yes at least something is growing…  we would not want to see another great American dust bowl!  Yes, it is great that our economy did not totally collapsed, and that our ground is being held together by something, and yes we should be celebrating that!  But we also need to be planting our own seeds!  Seeds that will help us, our families, our communities, and our world become a better place!

 

When we think things are going well we tend to go along our merry way, functioning without much thought, along with the rest of the status quo.  I am here to remind everyone that this is our opportunity for change!  To start again with thought, and a new awareness!

 

No matter where you are in life.  Do things differently… think of the greater good!  Deep down you know what the right choices are… you may think that they are harder, but in the end the crop you reap will be so much better than you can imagine!  But do something!  Don’t just sit there!  Bernanke needs our help!  So get up, get out, and start working that soil, start sowing the seeds for the life that you want! 

 

…and then next spring when Bernanke puts on his new glasses, he will again see green shoots, but this time instead of weeds the shoots will be those of flowers, or of volunteerism, or of a new business that you always wanted to start!

 

Just a thought!
