Own Yourself and Jump for Joy!

Allow yourself to experience euphoria.

I love that feeling when all of a sudden, everything is not only ok, it's great!  It is a feeling that is as if a light really is shining down on you from heaven, happiness overwhelms every pore in the body.   This feeling makes you want to sing, yell, laugh and cry from true joy.  It is my favorite feeling in the world.

At that moment when the understanding possesses me, that I am in complete control of my life, and I look at all of my problems, own them, then show myself how to get over them; that is when this feeling often hits me.

Many people reading this have probably never experienced this feeling before, or at least not in their adult lives.  You are probably thinking that I am crazy to, out of the blue, experience absolute joy and happiness.  Well, maybe I am a little bit crazy.  Along with my bit of craziness, though, is my knowledge that I create my own reality, and therefore take full responsibility for issues both good and bad in my life.  When I own up to the fact that I am in charge of me, life becomes fun, not just something that we are trying to wade through until we die. 

Too many times I have heard people using the excuse, "I can't do this", but that's not what they really mean, what stands behind that sentence is, "I won't do this".  It's too bad.  When one realizes that they create their own reality, the word can't completely disappears from their vocabulary?that word, can't, no longer makes any sense whatsoever. 

I recommend to everyone that you get yourself this natural euphoric feeling, and take control of your destiny?It's a lot more fun than the difficult lives that most people lead?

Experience!

Why drag your feet through life when you can dance the whole way through?

One of the biggest mistakes that I believe we make in life is that we forget to experience it.  For some reason people think that living life means simply going to school followed by work until retirement.  I think that's a load of crap.

I'm not saying that if one follows their heart and finds a career that perfectly complements them they aren't experiencing - I'm talking about those who basically try to make it to the weekend, those who go to work for the paycheck, not the experience.  Oftentimes people get so caught up in their unbelievably stressful schedules that they forget themselves and often their families.  Before they know it, they are old and grey and life has passed them by.  That is just too bad!

Our mistake, most of the time is that we base our lives on our careers, even if we don't like them.  People put so much importance on something that is so unimportant in the span of time and space and I just don't understand why.

Often, when I travel, people tell me how much they want to go, but they just don't have the time (and the money) to do it.  I remind them that I am probably the busiest person they know, and somehow I still manage to take the time to experience the world (and I do it in a way that it costs me equal or less than what it costs me to live at home in a typical month).  The thing is, it's not really somehow, it is that I prioritize, and I put the things that I believe are truly important first, then I the do things that I believe are important.  I know that money is crucial in this day and age, so I found ways to do what I love and believe in through my work.  We can all do it, we just get lazy or stuck in a rut, or we get too comfortable or we don't believe in ourselves, there are a lot of excuses.

I think that there is nothing sadder than letting life pass you by, too many of us choose to do it, but I hope we will begin to wake up, and realize that we only have one life to live?so live it!

Superstitious for a Cause

Belief and action combined is the formula for making this world a better place.

I suppose that one could say that I am a pretty superstitious person. It isn't necessarily that I believe that something specific is going to happen if I don't do something (like knocking on wood three times to make something spoken not come true), it is more that I don't know if something will happen or not and I don't want to take the chance of making it happen?I guess that may or not make sense, but whatever?

One of my "superstitions" is that of making a wish on the first star I see in the sky.  I know I started this habit when I was in my pre-teens, and I remember that this was also a phase in which I prayed every evening, so wishing on a star just became a part of my prayers.  I used to wish for all good things to happen in the world, and I truly believed that the power of my belief would help the world to become a better place.

Now, many years later, I still wish on the first star I see at night.  I still believe that the power of my beliefs will make the world a better place.  I don't have to know if for a fact in order to believe it.  I don't know for sure how much of a difference my wishes have made over the years.  Honestly, I don't care too much of what I'll never know, because I know that even though I have not personally seen those wishes come true, those wishes have turned me into a person who cannot just let things happen.  That belief on a star has flowed into my reality?it has made me believe that I must take action to help, not just wish it so, and every day, when I wish upon a star, I remember that wishes can always be made into a reality through right action!
