Create A Rewarding Life. FAITH KNOWS!
This whole weekend blew by, without any heavy moments of contemplation, nor any major moments of writing. I had John over and he used my computer alot for music purposes, and I only wrote one short paragraph in my notebook, so I'm not really sure if any major insight was lost. It was only today around 6 or so, that I really began to feel like the weekend had slipped away, AGAIN, and then I started to feel as though I had to make up for lost time. I went on the facebook drain page, and it really offered me nothing. I said the other day in my post, and I will say this again, that I am grappling more with my words when I go to that page, and it is only after excessive rethinking, that I come up with some babble to post atop my page to remind my friends that I am there. I wish I could reflect who I am more so through that page, and more so lately I realize that, fb is not the forum for that. What I see, is where I need to be.
John noted that he has been seeing positive changes in me as of late, as though I am relaxing and enjoying life more. I know that there was a moment earlier this week where I felt, Healthier, though I couldn't honestly say why, aside from the mental shift that I am currently undergoing. I can only say that your outlook does effect the way you experience your life, really, it's no joke.
I guess a big part of this is filtering out the garbage, clearly realizing that there will be people around you at all times that are crying the blues, it becomes about what you allow yourself to listen to. It is more like a mental diet, knowing the difference between what will deplete you, and what will provide healthy sustenance. It becomes about only focusing your energy and attention on the things that will bring you to a higher level, knowing who and what to shake off, Disregarding the toxic influences in your environment, and only focusing on the people and situations that bring you to a better place. All things that we experience are experienced to the degree that we give them our attention. If we don't pay attention to something, and we remove our attention from it, that situation or person ceases to hold the same kind of charge to our psyche.
You have to know from the word go, what you know to be right and wrong, differentiate the two inside yourself, and put all of the energy that you have on the good. The bad ceases in it's influential power when you no longer plug into it. You just have to wise up enough to stop plugging into it.
And, it is a daily, reminding process, sometimes it's hourly, depending on the situations you encounter. You need to keep reminding yourself of what is good for you, you have to keep telling yourself what is good, and remembering that, you remind yourself, that it is not necessary to let the bad stuff sway you. There is alot of good in this world, and this life, and within you, and you have to tune into that, and remind yourself that you alone, possess the tools necessary to make your life the success , the wish, the greatest dream, you ever stopped to dream. You must always remember that you have a key deep inside of yourself, and once you find that key and turn it, your life as you know it, will never be the same again, and that right there is a good thing, and that is where your attention needs to be, in the best possible state, at all times. And it is work, trust me.
You will feel a natural pull or rather, gravitation towards people who are good for you. When you see the ones that you deem bad, you just get away...fade to black. You know where you need to be. You can feel something within yourself, something that makes the difference between the good and the bad clear. The energy shifts, either an ease comes into place, or a tension takes over. When you feel the tension, you know that you have to get away. It is your internal guidance, you can feel it, if you pay attention. It is that gut feeling that people always speak of...
You know inside of yourself, what is right for you....
And you have to focus on that
It's not like you forget, it's a choice, where to place that powerful attention. You have to decide what you want in your life. If you want crap, and gossip, and drama, that is an easy decision, there is a gross imbalance, and that is prevalent. The crap doesn't go away...it probably gets thicker...you stop looking at it, and in your head, it is no longer there, because, there is an abundance of crap, the masses need toxicity and gossip to keep itself going. If you choose to not pay attention to that, you will start to see the world differently, and that new perception will change your experiences. We do have a choice in this life, we just get so bogged down by the crap, that it is easy to forget.
Stop forgetting, and start remembering, that you decide how you will react to this life, your life.
You are not a victim, you just think that you are.
As soon as we think ill of another, we open the door for another to do the same to us...Sucks, doesn't it?
The only resolution is to stop judging others ( Since, logistically, we do not have that right)- goin' biblical for a minute, judge not, lest not ye be judged. What makes us think that we are better then another? We can know that we are not better, yet at the same time, we an know if we are on different pages, and if we are, we can accept that, no drama, and move on. Get on with our own life, that is the show. Don't hurt others, don't speak ill, accept that we are all different, and that is what makes this world interesting, and get on with the cause.
In case you lost the way, the cause is you, your life, and making it the best that it can possibly
be.
This is your cause, YOU...Be happy and satisfied with you. Do your best, try, and believe...
You can change your life, and your world...why not start right this minute???
There is no other way.
