What's right?

The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, and then help that best into the fullest expression.
J Allen Boone

I've always found that when I focus on 'bad' behaviour or situations - they grow (and let me stress here, that there's no 'right' or 'wrong'/'good' or 'bad' - until we 'label' them so - formed of our our beliefs - there just 'is'). As I continue to focus energy and thought on the problem and what's not 'right' - it escalates. However when I shift my focus to the possibility of what is right - the solution - everything opens up and feels...possible! And grows....ahhhh....

We act - in accordance with our self image, and sadly - the vast majority of us base the larger percentage of that (still with me?), on our perception of how we are perceived by others. This forms a belief; which is really only a thought we keep thinking.

If we can 'suspend' our beliefs - and surrender to the possibilities of positive change (in all situations), then you will be surprised to notice how easily things can shift. Adverse conditions often just slip away, dissipate and die without the energy to feed them.

Try it - and notice what you believe about people - and situations (and ultimately - yourself!). It's interesting to ask yourself 'why' questions at these times; 'Why do I believe that?' You'll soon realise that there's a lot that you aren't allowing to prosper in your life, and maybe you could just let those things go...those beliefs which no longer work for you.

Anyway - food for thought huh?

Enjoy this FANTASTIC weather (we're experiencing both heat and sun in the UK!)

And have a *sparkling* weekend. (with strawberries and a great view!)

Dream lofty dreams...

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you one day shall be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. James Allen

It is true, that without a vision we are like ships without rudders...drifting...afloat in a huge sea of possibilities, not committing to or attracting our ideals, hence not in control of our destiny. We are more in touch with, and seem to spend more time noticing what's not working, and what we do not want in our lives.

Imagine if we were to flip it - and instead begin to focus on what we do want - our vision. Imagine how much clearer you would feel each day; energised and enthusiastic. Imagine how much more fun you would have...free to be dreaming and enjoying the ride. Imagine how much faster you would get 'there'.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country. Anais Nin

For it really is, that simple. Imagine. Feel good. Get excited. EXPECT great things. :-)

Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination. ~Immanuel Kant

Do you know what you want in your life? Are you prepared to 'ask' for it and fully commit? What can you do this week to make that commitment to yourself? Get on it ;-) dream BIG - believe the unbelievable.

Enjoy the week!

PS - I'm LOVING your comments!!! Thanx guys! Oooooh you're all so wise...

It aint what ya do...

“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”
Napoleon Hill

Bananarama had it right when they sang ‘It aint what ya do it’s the way that ya do it…’ ;-)

It’s often not what happens in our lives which creates negative emotion – it’s what we think about what happens. We filter our view of reality through a framework of beliefs – beliefs which are really only thoughts that we continue to think. ;-)

If you don't like something, consider changing it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it; lighten up – choose a thought that feels better ‘it’s not forever’ - ‘I’m on the way to getting… (what I want.. etc)’ – and start enjoying yourself now – sound good? Yeah?! Grrrrrr - go get em…
