My Life Chose Me!

by with No Comment BECOMINGBOUNDARIESCHOICESDIFFERENTSPIRITUALITY

It is hard to imagine not having choices.

With so many options known to us, and available to us today, it seems, to me, hard to imagine not having any choices.

When I was growing up as a young girl in the deep south of L.A., Lower Alabama, I never gave choices a thought.

Of course, there was the random question “what do you want to be?”

I had an answer, or two.

I want to be a nun.

I want to be a seamstress.

I never wanted to be a teacher.

I do realize I’ve been teaching all of my life, outside of the classroom setting.

A nun.

Spirituality has always been a part of who I am.

A seamstress.

I know my way around a needle, some thread and fabric!  And more!

There were not a lot of role models of what I could be in my environment.

What I saw, and had available, have become a part of who I am.

I always felt different in my born into, given environment.

I was different.

I am different.

Given I did not have any real aspirations, or know I needed them, my life chose me.

Given that I am different, and was different, I always did different things.

I did, and do, everything.

And, everything always, to this day, shows up for me.

I’ve only recently realized that I have spent my life exploring the edges.

Life On The Edges Of The Box!

I do not live my life only inside the box.

I live on the edges of the box.

I have always lived on all of the edges of the box, not even just one edge.

All of the edges.

Life has always shown up for me on the edge.

Not knowing there was a box, and not knowing there was anything outside of the box, shaped and formed who I am becoming.

It is always about who I am becoming, because I am always evolving, still exploring the edges.

I did, and do, the inside of the box things.

What everyone else does.

I also always did things others around me never did.  Or do.

This was life choosing me.

From inside the box.

Coaxing me to the edges.

I never felt like I really fit in anywhere inside the box.

Everything, and every one I know, to this day. live inside the box.

I have always been shown other things, and other ways of being.

I have always been guided, even when I had no clue that my life has been choosing me.

I have enjoyed everything I have been called to in my life.

Knowing, now, that I live life on the edge, and that I am being called, helps me understand why I see everything as an opportunity.

There is always more to be, have and do.

This feels good to me.

I actually see possibility everywhere.

In all things.

I am happy living life at the edge of opportunity and possibility.

There is no boredom here.

Mystery and surprises?

Yes.

Fun and exhilaration?

Yes.

Growth and evolving?

Yes.

Comfort and security knowing my life is still choosing me?

Yes!

My life chose me!

It is only right I embrace, and choose all the goodness, and Blessings that is my life, lived on the edge of all that is becoming.

Thank you life for choosing me!

Heart. Based. Sharing

Peace. Love. Blessings.

The Power To Be Your Best Self

by with No Comment BE YOUBECOMINGIN THE IMAGE OFPOWER TO CREATE

Who gives you the power to be your best self?

You!

Only you.

We all say we believe in God.

Well, some of us do.

Who do you believe in?

What do you believe in?

No matter what you are thinking in your mind, there is a Higher Power that is the orchestrator of all that is, all that was and all that will be.

This Power has already filled you with The Power To Be Your Best Self.

Have you ever heard the expression “Created In The Image Of God!”

Well.

There you have it.

The secret.

Whatever God can do, you can do.

Heresy?

Blasphemy?

Pompousness?

Not at all.

The power to create?

Yes!

You were born with the power to create.

You have been creating, and becoming, from day one!

Think about it.

Did you just plop out of the womb and sit there all these 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, or more years?

Absolutely not!

You are a mover and a shaker, even if you don’t believe in your power.

It is time to learn to believe in you, who you are, and who you came here to be.

You are the creator of your life.

You are that same Creative Power we all come from.

You were given life to express your creativity.

From day one!

You have never just sat there like a lump of clay.

You Mold And Shape Your Life!

You have been molding and shaping your life all this time.

Mostly by default, which makes you believe your life has happened to you.

Because, who in their right mind will create lack, scarcity, doubt and unwanted drama, on purpose?

Purpose is key here.

Purpose is like a navigational system.

A GPS.

We all use our GPS to get to the place we are going.

When I want to get someplace I have never been to, I put my destination in, follow the directions, and trust my GPS will get me there.

This simple analogy shows you “The Power To Be Your Best Self”.

  1. I want to get someplace I have never been to

What is your purpose?  Your someplace?  Your destination?

Is it to amass wealth, or, just more money than you currently have?

Is it to improve your relationships?

Is it to start a business?

Is it being a healthier you?

You have to identify, and choose, your purpose.

The thing you have to remember about purpose is, there are many purposes, and, they are always changing, so it doesn’t matter what you choose.

You’ll always be choosing.

Now you have your purpose.  Your destination.

You have chosen what you want.  Your purpose.  Your destination.

Check!

2.  I put my destination in

Put your destination in.

Put it where? you might ask.

Put it in your mind.

In your thoughts.

Put it in writing.

Put it in your heart.

Let it fill your Spirit.

Meditate on it.

Think about it.

Why do I want this?  Do I really want this?  What am I going to do about this?

3. Follow the directions

Your mind, your thoughts, your heart, your Spirit, God!, will show you how to get to your purpose and your destination.

Stay in step 2, putting your destination in, until you see can see your path.

You are always being guided by your higher Power.

Are you listening?

Go here.

Do that.

Call her.

Go the other way.

Follow the directions to your best self.

4.  Trust my GPS will get me there

If you have never had trust in yourself, God or the world you live in, you will have to develop this trust.

There isn’t any other way to cultivate “The Power To Be Your Best Self”.

There is no purpose strong enough to get you where you want to be if you just do not trust, and believe, in your Self.

Think of your GPS as God-Purpose-Self!

GOD knows your PURPOSE and believes in your SELF!

Do you?

God does create the miracles, but does not force anything on you, or, into your life.

There is no miracle without you!

You are the most important part in miracle creation.

You Are The Power To Be Your Best Self!

You have to trust and believe in yourself.

In the Power that you are.

Trust your thoughts, your instinct, your gut feelings, knowing you are being guided to your destination, and your purpose.

You are always being guided!

Whether you listen or not!

Whether you following the instructions, or not!

Being aware of the instructions, and following them, is the dance with God, and life, that I talk about.

Trust that you have this guiding relationship with God, and trust yourself to follow the guidance.

This is the most important relationship you will ever develop.

5.  My GPS will get me there

Trust and believe, or not, that you are always being guided to being the best Self you can possibly be, in any given situation.

Be your best Self on purpose.

You are always molding and shaping your life.

Be purposeful in creating what you want in your life.

You Are The Power To Be Your Best Self!

Heart. Based. Sharing

Peace. Love. Blessings

OUT WITH THE OLD

by with No Comment BECOMEBECOMINGBEGINNINGSCHANGECHOICEFLOWOPPORTUNITYPLAYFULNESSPOSSIBILITYTRANSCEND

Out with the old.

In with the new.

This is what we do.

Willingly. Or, not.

Knowingly. Or, not.

New ways of being. New ways of doing the things we do. New reasons for doing the things we do.

No room for stagnancy.

It may not seem like things are changing, but all things are always changing.

Although things might look the same, they are always in a state of changing.

People, places, things, situations, ways of looking at things, feelings, ways of being.

All things are constantly changing.

There is not really much you have to do, because you can’t stop the change.

Life is designed this way.

We fight it. Yes, we spend way more time than is necessary trying to fight the change. Stop the change. Not change. But change you will. Change you are. Change is the name of the living game. And it is good. Good for you. Good for your life. Good for those around you. Good for the world.

And so it is.

What is it about change that is so scary? That makes the hairs stand up on the back of our necks? That makes us want to hold on tightly to what is known, what is comfortable, to that which no longer fits, to that which is, one way or the other, on it’s way out of our existence?

Change is elusive, subtle, often hard to see coming.

That is what shakes us up about change. We don’t always see it coming.

The truth is, we don’t want to accept that things are changing.

We like, and think, we want everything to stay just the way it is.

It won’t!

We don’t wake up saying “things are changing today”.

We don’t think like that, but we should.

If things stayed the same, we would, all of us, remain infants, not ever growing into the wonderful beings we are all destined to be, and become.

That’s exactly what change is.

It is our destiny.

We are here to grow. Evolve. Become more. Be expansive. Build. Create. Change the world, and who and how we are in it.

OUT WITH THE OLD. IN WITH THE NEW!

Out with the old. In with the new is the order of the day.

It sounds good to me.

The thought can be scary, because nothing remains the same.

It’s not meant to be.

Life is comfortable. It gets to be comfortable. Then change shows up and turns everything you have ever known upside down.

Even when you don’t see change coming, it always is.

That being the case, perhaps we can kind of prepare for it by actively thinking a new thought. Making a new choice. Wanting a new thing. Expecting a new thing. Taking control of the fact that since life, my life, your life, our lives are changing anyway, I, you, me, we, us, can use this happening any way, no matter what, phenomenon to our advantage.

Remove the fear out of change and replace it with expectancy.

Think that new thought, expect that new outcome, see the way, the how you have no idea is there, show up guiding you in the change you are always becoming.

Play with it.

Open yourself up to the possibility. The opportunity. The fun. The change. The profit. The richness. The reward. Even the craziness of it.

Change you will. Change you must. There is no way around it. So you might as well, instead of fighting change, embrace it and allow the good things in.

Change is, in the end, always good to, and for you.

Seasons change. It might be winter now but next comes spring. After spring comes summer. After summer comes fall. Fall changes into winter.

Change.

Always changing.

That’s change.

Predictable.

Steady.

Flowing.

Out with the old. In with the new.

It is a natural rhythm.

After the night time comes the day.

Everything, that is life, about life, in life, is always changing.

Even the breath you take.

Let change be as easy as breathing in a new breath of air and releasing, exhaling all that is used up and no longer serving you.

Shedding what no longer works and picking up, putting on all that is making everything about you and your life better.

This is simply a reminder to you, because we often times rarely think about things changing, that change is the name of the game we are always playing. Whether you want it to, or not. Whether you like it or not.

Understanding, knowing and expecting change is what makes change so much easier. Allows you a sense of control about it. And might just light you up along the path of change. Allowing you to roll with change, becoming, growing, evolving, expanding, being better, being all of you, playing with the possibilities, opportunities, with all the things calling, and pulling you forward.

Change is in the air.

Always.

And so,

Out With The Old.

In With The New.

Cheers to the breath of fresh air that is change in your life, in my life, in our lives.

Change!

Heart. Base. Sharing.

Peace. Love. Blessings.
