Recently, a friend of a friend coined me as a "New Age Nightmare." At first, I felt sad and went to my usual place of "I'm not enough... I need more self-help to improve upon my current character." Well... that's a little exaggerated, but I did take his comment as feedback. Am I really caught up in a world of illusion, like Disneyland, where fun is only a choice away?
As I thought about this... my first response was, "I am creating the life of my dreams!" Yes, I have to admit, sometimes I get a little obsessive about my own personal development, but at the end of the day, are my results showing my hard work is paying off?
In the last two weeks, I can see how 3-years of intense inner-work is starting to pay off. From stepping more fully in my role with LifeWorks to enjoying a conscious, loving relationship with a man I adore, who adores me... looks like I'm doing pretty good. Considering where I was over 3-year ago, I've come a long way, but only until recently have I see physical matches to my inner change.
So, my dear reader... where have you not given yourself enough credit that you're very well on your way to the success of your liking? Where have you, maybe, gotten off track from your vision and life dreams?
Try it on, be willing to give yourself a chance at actually creating what you really want. From experience, looks like a nightmare can be transformed into living the life of your dreams! Choose again.

Thank YOU for the toss. "Recognition" of what I AM doing is where I get tripped up. Thank you for the reminder.
Love you, buddy!
This post reminds me that sometimes the very seeking can actually get in the way of the being. Know what I mean? If we actually just let go of the search and get present, then we can soak in the nowness of it all. woah. Total cosmic immersion. I'm totally into it.
Plus, DJNJ, how come we always put weight, at least initially, on what other people think? Good friends have cred (to a degree), but a friend of a friend? Not so much. I love that you figured this out. Because who's the authority on your life? You, or that friend of a friend? You, of course. Bravo.
Hey!
I wanted to share an exercise with you that a bunch of my blogging buddies have done and am inviting you, and a few other of my ALC friends, to play along. The instructions are here... Touch of the Phoenix
Hope you are having a great day!
