What a wonderful World

This Blog is inspired by my son. His song that we played him while is was in the womb was what a wonderful world by louis armstrong.  It was interesting i was listening to the podcast i listen to every week and David Wood played that song on my sons birthday.  That is amazing to me.

That got me started thinking about how amazing this world we get to live in is.  Every breath that we get to take on this planet is a blessing.  I could die in the next second and I am not taking advantage of the time I have on this planet.  WOW.  Most of us have heard this our whole life yet we still do not squeeze the juice out of this life.  We just go from one day to the next and losing all since of each day and the just melt into each other.  Meanwhile somewhere there is a young child dying and they didn't even get half the days that we have wasted.  Kids are so in tune with this they really don't care what happens tomorrow they live in the moment.  Adults we just live either in the past or the future and loss the moment.  We never achieve our full potential at the fear of failing or having to go without.  Fear keeps us in a sad life not willing to truly live this life.  I do this so much saying no when i should just say yes and let the universe figure the rest out.  I am getting better but we all know of times where we have said no when we should have said yes.  then we beat ourselves up about it.  WOW.

This being said i am setting a goal for myself.  To fight for the moment.  To do mindful things to focus on the moment.  Look at this amazing world we live in.  Don't miss it cause once it is gone it is gone.

Whats on your bucket list?

Focus

I have written on this subject before but today i had such a realization of how important focus really is in life that I had to share.

In the law of manifestation it states what we focus on grows and continues in your life.  So what ever that we give our attention to will become more prevalent in our lives.  What we spend our money on will take a bigger place in our life.  WOW.  So if we wanna see where we will be in 6 months look at what you spend your time doing today.  look at what you spent money on today that is what you will be spending money on in 6 months.

In the movie The Secret they speak about the law of attraction and that you can manifest things in your life if you focus on them and feel them then they will come in your life.

This works for negative things in your life too.  If you spend your time lying about your life to make it sound better it will always be that way.  you will always have to lie to make your life better instead of making it truly better.  IF you spend your time looking at negative things and around negative people then your life will never get better cause the influence on you is negative.  If you never try something new then you will never ever have something better then what you have right now.  This is such a huge truth in the area of self development.

So If you are a reader do something this week that will get you out of your comfort zone.  If it is as simple as trying a new food or going for a walk in a new park.

Thank you again for taking the time to read this.

We take time to cry.

This is actually inspired by my daughter this morning.

So many times we take time to cry about what has happened to us.  And we take so much time that other things pass us by.  I noticed today that a simple task can turn into a huge emotional issue if we let it.  I see this in my life a lot.  The boss asks you to do something.  You take time to bitch about how she asked it and what she said instead of just doing it.  The boss asks you to do something you do it but go to the smoke circle and bitch about it for 15 minutes and poison others day.  Some one insults you to make themselves feel better and you take it on yourself and hurt for hours even days.  All of these things can bring us down and take our emotional health down.  We start to question ourselves which kills our confidence and our gratitude.   With out both of these things we find ourselves choking and Dying inside because the garden of life can only be grown in good positive soil.

I have started to learn what one of my teachers has been talking about for years.  Instant forgiveness.  This is such a strong thing.  To say they are human also and move on let it go and move to the next task or thought is so powerful.  It is a slow process for me to have learned but i am slowly reducing the time i stay in hate and forgiveness.  I think this is important to know that it will not happen over night.  It will take time to heal from the past and you should feel pain and understand that it is part of being human.  But to let that rule you for longer then you need to heal to let that effect the way you treat others.  That is not the way to live a truly happy life.  I am starting to learn in life that we must live every moment to the fullest. and forgive ourselves when we don't.  As my father always says there is only one perfect man they hung him on a cross.
