BEING THE PRIZE

People say that all things genius are simple.  I believe it is indeed the case.  Today I want to talk about the importance of feelings in realization of anything in life.   There is a book by a lady named Lynn Grabhorn “Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting”  several years ago I happened to come across it and it underlined the importance of being able to feel good, to vibe as she calls it.  We all know that feeling good is important, but most don’t realize just how much.  We hear about the law of attraction everywhere recently, and for a good reason, it works.  The feelings are the one thing that seems to be there when things are good or bad, when you are feeling good about things you want to see happened, regardless of what is going on around you at the moment, you seem to effortlessly achieve it.  When you start feeling bad in reflection to undesirable circumstances that you might be facing at the moment, you get more of the difficult circumstances.    It works like a clock in a very predictable fashion, you feel good and good results are guaranteed, you feel bad, and you get more of the things you are feeling bad about.  It’s not easy by any means, some times it is quire hard to switch and start feeling something positive, do it anyways, find things to be happy about, weather imagining your desired happy outcome, talking to yourself in a kind and carrying way as if to a youngster needing encouragement, or simply feeling grateful for what you already have.  Do it, and be pleasantly surprised by the simplicity of being able to achieve desired results J

To go with the theme of the previous post “Going Back To School” by K, I have an observation.  It seems a lot of people are bend on pouring knowledge into our heads and expecting us to integrate it and do it, I hear the phrase “do as I say not as I do” from people when you catch them contradicting their own teaching.   Should it be surprising though?  Our entire educational system supports a model of teaching that has proven to be effective in only suppressing the curiosity of student and make them frustrated and bored.   No wonder.   Socratic method is the method that was used by Creeks when educating and teaching.  The idea being is that a person already has all the knowledge and instead of taught they need to just be reminded, and how is that accomplished?  Asking questions, it has so many benefits, for one it keeps the student mind constantly active, they have to analyze and illuminate a lot of options that don’t apply to a situation at hand and they become more aware of the subject because they have a first hand experience deriving and analyzing it.  Effectively what Creeks did was to “teach a man to fish”  not giving merely results of study but the processes that could be used in analyzing other questions and situations.  Results – well they discovered atom long before any microscopes has been discovered, Greek Philosophy is a cornerstone in the foundation of the science, not to mention numerous achievements in math, technology  all that with a country that is truly puny in size by today’s standards.  What of it you might say?  Well we can choose to complain about humanity repeating the same mistakes over and over, people being inefficient and desire to turn things around.  That is one way, I propose being grateful for any insights that one has and as a show of appreciation beginning to apply this wonderful insights to our everyday life, not easy true, but the benefits far outweigh the inconvenience of changing a habit…  a wonderful life is yours for the taking.

Envy is something that is extremely destructive, it comes from lack of abundance and every single person is subject to it at one point or the other, no matter who you are.  The principles behind envy is lack of abundance.  Some people quickly realize that there is more then enough to go around and let go of that animalistic instinct in all of us, no harm done and life is amazing, some can’t let go and as a result suffer.   Not only do they suffer mentally they also suffer in the ways of not being able to recognize when life presents them with proof of abundance and as a result they head on a downward spiral.  Recognize abundance in everything and life will constantly present you with proof of it making it a wonderful experience.  If for some reason envy does sneak up on you at any one time, don’t blame yourself don’t analyze it, just simply let it go, fill your heart with happiness recognizing that there is enough and truly allowing yourself to feel joy for the other person’s fortune, then move on expecting abundance and great things in your life and they will always manifest themselves.  I think it is easy to feel joy for others when you can recognize yourself in them, ideally you should be able to recognize yourself in every person and thus constantly increase the moments of joy in your heart until such a time as joy becomes a constant uninterrupted song in the soundtracks of our life’s. 

So I made a deal to keep up with blog every day and I had not, I own up to that.   Plain and simple if I don’t make it a priority put it on paper and make it part of my daily task list, I end up forgetting about it half the time.   Grounding yourself is important, going back to basics is important and do course corrections is important.  So here is what is happening, the project I was working on is completed and live.  Is it finished, no it’s a work in progress which will require testing and modifying, but it is ready for the world to start benefiting them and bring money to me.   If microsoft waited for a perfect product, they would be out of business faster than you can say microsoft 🙂   There are days when I am more aware of the law of attraction, strange things happend with very strange consistency, go figure.   Today was one of those days, things just seemed to fall into place in a very unlikely of ways, I really like days like this.

The only time we truly grow is when we find ourselves at the edges of our comfort zones and have the ability to go beyond them.   Making that step that takes you from the edge of comfort zone to somewhere you have not been before can be a very difficult things at times.   Every part of you fights it, and that is the moment when you must look deep within you to find the reason, often it’s in the form of the question, will you be able to live with yourself knowing you had the opportunity to do something and you did nothing?  Even worse is that people are so hard on themselves that once they were not successful the first time around, they blame themselves into a place of fear and paralysis and that is just plain wrong.   It is true, get disappointed get frustrated, but then forgive yourself and go at it again and again and again until such a time that you conquer your comfort zones and expand them with your decisive victory.   It is the journey and not the destination, we all have setbacks circumstances fears and concerns, however at the end of it all some of us stand up and keep on going and others just give up.   As long as you can keep on going you will succeed, there is no other way, some require more lessons and preparation to receive success then others, but the result is invariably the same victory.   Love yourself, be thankful for everything in your life be thankful for the lessons that make you stronger and keep on going, cry if you have too and then stand up and keep on going, keep on going as if everything in your life depends on it, for after all it truly does…

I am not quite sure of a best place to begin, so I will just begin with what’s currently going on.   I am in the process of creating my first official information product.  The deadline for it is set for Monday, so I am keeping busy translating, writing sales copy and doing all the other little things that are involved into rolling out a successful product.  The mindset is a vital component of everything we do, the interesting thing about it  is that  you can’t  start thinking  positive thoughts and immediately expect to see overwhelming results (it does happened sometimes though).  I see it as a seed growing into a tree, at any given time you look at it it seems like nothing is happening, but day in and day out you recognize incremental improvements.  When things seems like they are not going anywhere and the mindset just seems like an unnecessary extra step, I remind myself that as long as I keep going results will be there as sure as the sun will rise the following day.

The intent of this blog is to help in keeping track of the actions and thoughts of the person, in order to reinforce the understanding that he is the prize.
