Enough is Enough

Ever have one of those days, where you feel like a total victim? You know the kind, where it feels like life is unfair and the only thing you feel like doing is to call up a friend and bitch. Well, I say bitch away, but my hope is you're also interested in having a different experience too. A radically new kind of experience where you know that life is your creation and a game to be played. Full out... if you choose to take the invitation.

These moments, I'm speaking about, no matter how "hard" they may seem are perfect opportunities to see where you still feel like you don't have a choice in the matter. The painful moments of life are the times it's most valuable to see where you're still playing small. Where you see the complaints of life as opportunities to commit to something better.

Let me be the first to tell you: You always have a choice. Always! And no matter how "hard" it gets or how "easy" it is to defend your point of view, it comes down to a really simple fact: Stop putting yourself in those situations that cause you the most pain. Stop running into the fist.

Today, I had one of those experiences. And with that, the pain has gotten so intense, that I've had to wake up and ask myself, "What the hell am I doing here?" And I say, what a great question to be asking. Why? For the simple fact, when we wake up and realize we are the only person that has control over our destiny, we give ourselves a chance to actually have a good life.

Life is good and whether it be love, money or having a fun time, you are always at choice as to how you experience yourself and which situations you put yourself in. Today, I'm doing something radically different, I'm walking away from the situations that cause me the most pain and having a heart-to-heart talk with myself about why I think I'm less than what I really deserve. Today, I commit to seeing what and who deserves my love, attention and affection. Starting with myself.

Today, put down the defense and find enough love in yourself to get more fascinated with the possibilities of life, rather than the dead ends.

From Pity Party to Private Party

Today, I'm having a party, celebrating all of me.

Try it on: Include the dark things that frighten you. The skeleton in your closest is your backbone, time to make a choice to embrace all of who you are or keep just running from love.

Today, I commit to loving myself, deeply. As deeply as I can. The good, the bad, the lonely. No more thinking someone or something is going to rescue me. If you find yourself looking outside for someone to love you or life to change for you to feel good, you might want to grab the biggest mirror you can and get loving the person inside.

Spirit Gives Life.

(Check out this Quote:)

We live in a world of form and when you're in the world of form, you get in "form"ation. When you're in the world of Spirit you get inspiration. When you are inspired (in spirit) by some great purpose or some extraordinary project, your consciousness expands in every direction. By moving into inspiration, you can activate dormant forces and make them work for you. When you're inspired, everything works. You don't get tired, you don't get hungry, you don't worry about money, or you don't think about what's going to happen tomorrow. So becoming inspired is probably the most important thing you can do. The way that you do it is you look at the world of form, and all the things around you and you say, where did all of this come from? It all came from the world of inspiration. It's spirit that gives life.

So may you and I be inspired!

Where's The Value?

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a cult? I have, just once. Last year, as I was exploring the wonderful world of "transformation," I found myself in the middle of a rather odd group of people, along with their guru and his very deep, philosophical discourse about what real reality really is. Funny huh?

It was interesting, but I was totally bored, because I couldn't understand what the hell he way talking about. It sounded like a great idea, how you can bend reality and unite under the thought of oneness; however, as I translated everything he was saying into measurable results, I couldn't help but to ask, "what's the transformative value?"

At what point can I take this information and make use of it? What's the point? It's great that we get to live in a free country where cult leaders run around recruiting (like Strangers with Candy) hungry spiritual seekers, looking for enlightenment, but at what point does one step back as say, "sometimes, self-help has gone a bit too far."

I ponder this today, as I got invited to a hear some talks from a well-known, teacher. I share this with you to warn you... beware of the cults looking for those seeking a better life. You don't have to go far for that; what you've been looking for is just a mirror away.
