Changing with Time
Leave a Comment
I was walking down quaint back alley with my daughter and what she said caused me to share with her something that would serve her now, and in the future.
She said, “At my age I should know where I want to go in the future!” That’s pretty sensible for her age I thought.
Her predicament is one that we all struggle with at any given age. We spend time deciding where our life direction and in the end, we do feel regretful over the choices made.
Here are a few steps:
1) write down what you want in 10 words or less
2) look at it and think on it every day for 10 days
3) write beside it 5 steps that lead you to your goal
4) breakdown each step until it is something you can complete in a 15 min. period by doing it everyday
5) place the steps on a calendar and mark off each day you do it
6) look back after 10 days on how far you have come
7) do it over again until you reach your goal
You will begin to notice that obstacles to your goal will begin to change. Don’t be too hard or soft on yourself. Find your rhythm. You will be 10 days older and 10 steps along your road to maturity!

Today, I opened the papers. One of the main stories is the release of the man who is the culprit behind the Lockerbie incident that killed over 200 Pan Am passengers. The Scottish authority said he was released on compassionate ground as he suffers from terminal illness and has just about three months to live. He was worshiped like a hero when he returned to Libya. Of course, families of the deceased condemned the release as “unethical”, or should be released only in a “box”. Even US President opposed the move.
So, what’s your view on this?
This world is getting more and more convoluted and twisted. The line between rights and wrongs are getting thinner. My heart is filled with wonder, sometimes madness and excitement about the world around me. I find, the older I get, the less I judge people, and the more I love them…that’s why, based on this call, I think it is right to release the guy, but getting a hero’s welcome? I don’t agree to that. That’s why it is hard to get a right call.
Often I am criticized for being too generous, too easy, too understanding… for helping people I don’t really know…F.
I just don’t care. I cannot stand to watch people struggle… I cannot be still or silent in their midst. If I am able to help, I do and I will. I love to see people happy, thrilled and excited. If I have the means to make that possible… why not? I find I do it more for me than them.
Just love LIFE…
Two kinds of fear
Leave a Comment
I read somewhere recently that the two greatest fears we have are abandonment and imprisonment.
Two sides of the same coin. In my life, I would have to agree…as one parent appeared to abandon and the other to imprison. If I can see into it a little more, the one appearing to imprison, was also abandoning…because a needy Mom has really already “left” as a healthy caregiver…and is instead, showing up as one who takes a bit more than they give.
I’ve rolled with these dynamics in all of my relationships. Gaining awareness while pursuing the unavailable one and running from the “needy” one. It’s felt a bit like “would I rather die by being burned or frozen to death”, smothered or ignored…
While I’ve grown considerably in my forty-five years, plus one divorce…I am still letting these crazy dynamics influence my choices. No doubt it’s the main catalyst that fuels my drive to heal and grow.
So I would like to ask you here, my fellow forum friends…You are all obviously into understanding and growing as well.. What are some of your ideas on these dynamics that I’ve mentioned? And how have some of you made peace with them?
I know there is a balance…and that it’s within…which I continue to work toward. Healing my inner neediness etc. What else…
Your Financial Blueprint

My life is a bubble; but how much solid cash it costs to keep that bubble floating.~Logan Pearsall Smith.
When we appreciate the money that we have–no matter how little, and no matter how simple–we create a vibration of prosperity and an attitude of power.
This theme percolates in our subconscious mind, which is then stimulated to come up with money-making ideas and set in motion ways that we can prosper.
While it is easy to appreciate people and places and possessions, we all feel somewhat challenged to appreciate how we finance our lives. No matter how much or how low our funds, it never seems enough–because there is always more that we need and could use.
Ironically, the less we have and the more we express thankfulness and appreciativeness for what we do have, the more we begin the process of prospering.
Our appreciation opens up doors of opportunity, for it is a catalyst for further financial growth. Our sense of enjoying whatever wealth we possess invites us to venture boldly into more promising enterprises.
Of course the natural tendency when our funds are low and our expenses high is to worry and despair–neither of which do us any good at all.
Experiencing a distraught feeling is a signal for our subconscious to choose helplessness over initiative, apathy over ingenuity, and resignation over hope.
When the subconscious is thus disempowered, we stultify our imagination and rob ourselves of the inner power we need to transform outer circumstances.
Collectively, over time, your general feeling about money create your mental blueprint of how much you want to have in your life.
If your blueprint is set to a low amount, then you’ll filter out information about how to improve your circumstances. You’ll literally fail to see income-producing opportunities right in front of you. You’ll subsist on loans and debt.
Conversely, if your blueprint is set to a high amount, then you’ll actively seek out income and you’ll see things that other people miss. Your imagination will be alive with the possibility of creative thinking. You’ll see money for what it is–a medium of exchange–and a way for you to create new products and services that are revenue generating.
Poor people spend most of their time trying to stem losses, while rich people spend most of their time trying to make gains, but the difference in their blueprints and how they filter information is based on their depth of gratitude for what they do have.
“Wealth,” said Benjamin Franklin, “is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.”
Looking for the positives among the negatives
Leave a Comment
No matter what we aspire to be, we need to be positively motivated to succeed. Sometimes things just don’t go our way and we can be disheartened easily. Then fear and uncertainty set in and if one is not firm enough, the aspiring dream can turn into a personal nightmare.
I personally think one way to stay aspiring is to steer clear from cynical people. You see such people everywhere, your colleagues, friends and even your own family members! Sometimes these people can be your nearest and dearest, but this is not the time to confide your doubts and fears to them. Seek out positive, enthusiastic people from your acquaintances, family or friends. Find and read good motivational books.
Often it is just a matter of tweaking aspects of the operation to get it moving. If you have done the research properly there has to be a reason that things are not going right. Persistence will pay dividends in the end. If you have the desire to succeed this will inevitably provide the driving force and energy required to get you to where you need to go. This is personal motivation in action. This is the energy and desire working together to achieve a positive result.
It is very easy to get down and depressed when things do not go your way. It is very easy to give in to fear and despair, but these attitudes only lead to less success. Talking with negative people increases depression and loss of motivation. In a sense we are what we think and we do need to motivate ourselves to achieve.
In a way it is harder to claim the positive because it requires energy but being negative saps energy, while being positive generates energy. Being positive generates motivation and enthusiastic motivation produces results. Nothing is a lost cause, it just requires thoughtful restructuring at worst or minor tweaking at best. You just need the motivation and enthusiasm to carry it through.
Sometimes I admit the goings could be tough yet what I tell myself is to look for the positives among the worsts. Yes, that will lift me a little. For example, I lost the chance to get into this company but take it as this is a heavenly sign that this company is not suitable for you rather than your abilities.
Be ready to receive more

To receive more, you have to be grateful for the things you have is what Marie Callas always preaches. Say thanks for the good times and experience you have. An attitude of gratitude is like a never ending prayer. You are truly happy when you are thankful. Those are the feelings you put out
everywhere you go.
If you have everything in the world yet you don’t feel really happy, something is seriously wrong in your attitude towards life. If that’s the case, it’s time to express your gratitude, and you’ll find that you will gradually cheer up. When you appreciate what you have, the most material and mundane stuff around you will seem redundant because you know you will be happy even if you don’t owe them.
As ideas and opportunities come into your life, act on them immediately. If they don’t feel right to you, then pass on it. But quickly act on anything that feels good to you.
When you feel relaxed, simply close your eyes and picture a screen. On this screen, you will project a picture of what you want. Imagine what you want in as much detail as you can. Don’t force this, just stay relaxed and see it happen. Use colour,
sound, smells, and draw upon all of your senses. If, for example, you’re picturing your own home, see all of the details of that house. You can put yourself in the picture. See your family there as well. Make it as vivid and bright as you can. Don’t
strain, simply relax and see the picture.
We are who we mix with.

How we turn out depends on what type of friends we hang out with. Isn’t that a common sense you think? What you think will also attract what type of friends you have, therefore we need to better choose your mates.
I’m not saying you should look down on those people you think you don’t have in common too. What I mean you should spend on productive time talking to right-minded friends. And those friends outside the niche, you ought to spend less time with, especially if they are the type who are negative in thinking, and every inkling of good idea is a no-go to them. If you are hanging with them, my advice is don’t talk to them about your plans and objectives because in the end, you will going to have greatly hurt and demoralised by their negative jibes.
For example, I myself is into spirituality, especially about Marie Callas teachings. If I tell my normal group of friends, I’m sure I’ll be bombarded with words like “She’s a scam!”, “Why are you so gullible to believe in all these!” or “I never believe in her all this while.”
At the same time, how we spend our time on is important too. What do we fill our own mind with? Often I hear folks say that they can’t accomplish something because of ___________. (fill in the blank)
If it is due to time, I find that they are always spending time on activities that are was not related to their objectives and they come back to complain they have no time to do that!
If it is money, often they mindlessly spend money on things that have little significance.
If it is emotional support, often they surround themselves with the very people who will attempt to dampen their spirits.
Ultimately it is about awareness and the willingness to move consistently towards one’s intentions, visions and wants.
Light a candle
Leave a Comment
Lighting candles mean showing respect and love to something sacred. It is a great form of expression when words are no longer good enough to express all. A little lighted candle shows people your gratitude, concern and love. I should say it’s a very sacred ritual deep inside the hearts of many spiritual people…
Well, nowadays, in this internet age, you don’t even need to buy a real candle. You can simply go online to light a candle and solemnly express your thoughts to someone. Of course, the real candles are still better, who would bet against that?
Simply, Light a candle now, to send your love, wishes and gratitude.
Thoughts of Marie Callas "scam"
Leave a Comment
Marie Callas seems to be a pretty controversial character here in this country. I have read the badpress about Marie Callas a few times especially in the internet because there are really some sites that have nothing but strong words about her. Personally, I don’t wish to argue who is right or who is wrong because there are 2 sides of a coin. There’s always a left and right, a yin and yang. However, I do know good things are always on a defensive side from the constant barrage of the negative nay-sayers who seems to be the party that is the most vocal or aggressive.
Face it, there are many weird people in this world. Some people are borne to gatecrash others from being successful or their main life purpose is to pulvarise a perfectly positive entity to bits and pieces. Then they will be happy. Just observe and you’ll see these people. That’s my view about those people who are shouting scams about Marie Callas.
One more thing to add, I think the world “scam” has been OVER-USED. So many times I have seen an operation which is working perfectly till a time when there’s a slight delay or stoppage and the first reaction of people is not “there must have some faults which will be fixed soon but “finally they are going to scam”. Even a perfectly legal software written to increase the efficiency of the process is scam in the eyes of their competitors or disbelievers.
What is this world coming to?
