i want to grab a bottle of wine
head to the river
sit on the bank
talk about our desires
what makes us click
what turns us on
what it would take to live life on fire!
are you {on}?

lunar~tics

as of late
i have noticed this
lunar~tic energy all around
it has caused some
spiritual/emotional
growth spurts
or lessons

im very good at resisting

its uncomfortable

i have had to look in the mirror
and ask myself
why is this so hard
what is it that i am not embracing
how do i learn this lesson
and move forward

funny thing is...
i know the answer
its hard to admit emotional weaknesses
i have a huge defense mechanism that
pops up when i am afraid of rejection

however

when i can step away from a situation
and look at it
really focus on the situation
and not take it personal
and not allow my ego
to run the show
i am humbled
and strengthened
by the beauty of the lesson

i allowed a seed of doubt to sprout
in my soul and totally choke out
the peace that is flourishing
in my mind and soul

really?

what the hell is that about?

the lesson

to remember who you are

and that
not everyone
is going to get you
nor do they have to
agree with you
but
if you surround yourself
with kindred souls
people with a common
future, path or heart
you dont have to have them
"get you"
or
"agree with you"
because
they
respect you
for you
because
there
is
no
one
more
youer
than
you♥

Choose your path

Your problems are real and demanding.

Yet they are tiny when compared to all the positive possibilities for your life in this moment.

You have fallen short in the past.

Yet the past is over, and you are free to choose a new and more fulfilling direction, right now.

There are difficult challenges that you now face.

And right alongside those challenges, intertwined and intermingled with them, there are stunningly magnificent opportunities.

This is your time to grasp those opportunities.

Whatever may try to hold you back is trivial and of little consequence when compared to what you can gain by moving forward.

The difficulties this moment may hold are far outnumbered by the possibilities for achievement, learning, love, joy and fulfillment.

Focus your mind, focus your energy on the best of those possibilities.

In this very moment you are free to choose any thought, any action, any path you wish.

Choose to step confidently forward on the path to the best place and the best life you can possibly imagine.

well being

All the powers in the Universe are already ours.
It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
We are what our thoughts have made us;
So take care about what you think.
Words are secondary.
Thoughts live; they travel far.
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
We reap what we sow.
We are the makers of our own fate.
None else has the blame, none has the praise.
There is no help for you outside of yourself;
You are the creator of the universe.
Like the silkworm you have build a cocoon around yourself....
Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul.
Then alone will you see Truth.
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
God sits in the temple of every human body.
~ Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902)

Treasure the experience

Let go of the need to constantly keep score.

Create value for its own sake and it will come much more easily and naturally.

There are great possibilities patiently waiting to happen for you.

Yet any desire for superiority you may have will keep pushing those possibilities away.

All you could ever hope for is already connected to you.

But you cannot see that connection when you're constantly focused on getting more.

Your obsessive attachment to getting the result you seek prevents that result from being fully realized.

Put your focus on being instead of getting.

Good things happen as soon as you get past the need for them.

Let life flow as it will, and it will flow in great abundance.

Get out of the way of your own authentic fulfillment.

Sincerely treasure the experience, and there will be much more to treasure.

-- Ralph Marston

Get unstuck

If you feel like you're stuck, in many ways that's a positive sign.

It means you're eager to get moving.

The feeling of being stuck shows that there's somewhere you truly would like to go, and you're ready for some real progress.

It means you're highly motivated, and that's a powerful state to be in.

Instead of focusing on the particular problem of the moment that's making you feel stuck, step back and look at the big picture.

Recall the reasons why you originally chose to be on this path in the first place.

Most likely, the challenge you're facing right now is trivial compared to the goal you've set for yourself.

Put things in perspective and you'll realize that what's really keeping you stuck is not the situation itself but rather your response to it.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed, choose to start working your way through the challenge one step at a time.

There is a little bit you can do now, a little bit of progress you can make later, and bit by bit you'll make your way through.

Take advantage of the frustration you feel, and redirect the energy of that frustration into positive, thoughtful action.

You'll soon be looking back on this moment with the grateful realization that you just cleared a major hurdle and are quickly moving forward again.

-- Ralph Marston
