Simply Life

People try to make life harder than it needs to be.  Endless tasks to do.  Always on the run.  At what point is too much, too much?  When was the last time you consciously slowed down and took a moment to just be.
Will it matter in ten years if the dishes don't get done until tomorrow? 
It is okay to step away by playing catch or running around and being silly with your kids.

There was a time when I found myself rushing to get to work, worried about being late.  Then one day I decided to take my sweet time before going into the office.  I took my dogs out a little longer than usual.  I put conscious thought into my morning tasks taking my time to do so.  Funny thing was that I found myself arriving on time just as I would have if I had rushed.
Everything seemed to fall right into place when I relaxed and took the time to enjoy my life one lovely moment at a time. 

Chris Canton says:
"Simplify the complex as much as possible, and you'll be fine."

Eleanor Roosevelt says:
"A little simplicity would be the first step toward rational living, I think."

Plato says:
“Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity.” 
 

Word of the Day~ Create

To create means to bring something into existence. To cause something to happen as a result of one's actions.  To give rise, to produce.

Your actions, in every moment of the day, are creating your universe. 
If you bring a bad attitude to the table, it may not be such an easy existence for you. 
What are you producing with rushing around from place to place, being rude to strangers, or yelling at your children?  You are in your world stuck with what you created around you.  But, there is hope because you are never truly stuck with what you have....you can change your mind at any time and start creating a different scene.  There is always time to pivot to a new thought, idea, or action.  Freedom is yours by creating what you really want. 

Louise Hay says:
"Every thought we think is creating the future."

Henri Bergson says:
"To exist is to change; to change is to mature; to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."

Word of the Day~ Choice

~Every moment of the day brings a possibility to make choices. 
~The amazing thing about life is that we have the choice to change or minds if we want to. 
~If you don't make a choice, one will be chosen for you, so doing nothing is still a choice.
~Your choice will be reflected in the outcome. 
~Choosing happiness will bring you happiness.  Choosing to be sad and self defeating, will make life be as such.

Albert Cumas says:
"Life is the sum of all of your choices."

Flora Whittemore says:
"The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live."

T.S. Elliot says:
"In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which minute will reverse."

Word of the Day~Timing

Your time measurement may not be the same as your creator's.  Your job is to get ready by becoming organized and then wait patiently for results.  When you least expect it, great things will happen.  Doors will open up that have never been there before.  But always, always have a smile on your face in waiting anticipation. 

Albert Einstein says:
"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."

Stacey Charter says"
"Life is all about timing...the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable becomes available, the unattainable...attainable.  Have the patience, wait it out.  It's all about timing."

Living with Pleasure

Everyday there are hundreds of things to distract us.  TV, radio, people, magazines, jobs....to name a few.  It is up to us to pick and choose our experiences so that we may live a pleasure filled life.  How are we feeling while we do what we choose?  Do you feel good or do you feel entitled or like you are sacrificing?  When you are eating, do you mindlessly watching TV or do you eat each bite thoughtfully letting the food nourish you?  When you take your children to the park, do you talk on the phone the whole time or do you interact with them? 

If you are not getting what you want out of life, think about the feeling you put in.  Be in the vibration of the life you want to lead, if you want to experience the pleasures in life.  When the vibration is achieved, more and more pleasure filled experiences will start to gravitate towards you. 

Esther Hicks says:
"No one can deny you or grant you anything.  It all comes to you by virtue of your vibration."


Mohandas Gandhi says:
"To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer."

Word of the Day~Balance

Albert Einstein says:
"Life is like riding a bicycle.  To keep your balance, you must keep moving forward."

Balance is a state of equilibrium.  It can be hard to stay balanced in the world we live in today. 

Sometimes we need to step away from the situation to remain even tempered.  Even when we try our hardest to stay balanced, it may take the smallest thing to get us out off kilter again.  We must remember  to breath.  When I am stressed and struggling, I tend to clench up.  Taking deep calming breaths helps to relax me.  If things seem over whelming, let go of tasks that don't need to be done immediately.  By reducing your load, you will reduce the load on your mind and feel more balanced.

Fear Replacement

Everyday there are so many fears that could hold us up on our journey of life.  The sources are endless.
These fears will no longer effect us once we commit to a fear replacement plan.  The plan is simple and is easy to remember.  It can be applied in any situation where fear may reside. 

Step 1:  Find your fear
Step 2:  Replace fear with love and forgiveness
Step 3: Feel instantaneously better and free to live your life the way you were meant to live!

What's holding you back now?


Japanese Proverb says:
"Fear is only as deep as the mind allows."

Gandhi says:
"The enemy is fear.  We think it is hate; but, it is fear."

Tom Crum says:
"You either move toward something you love or away from something you fear.  The first expands.  The second constricts."
