Greetings my gentle readers to another week's installment of
the "be yourself, often" blog. This is the time of the week when we
can sit back and reflect on the moments that were, the moments that will be, in
the days that we have to look forward to.
As we progress through time, it's a matter of taking a look
at what inspires us what has inspired us, and what will inspire us. Today in
North America is February 2, 2012. As we well know here, this is Groundhog Day.
Groundhog Day is a day when we tend to look forward to spring, or determine
number of weeks [8] that winter will continue upon us. In the famous movie, “Groundhog Day", Bill Murray
lives/exists experiencing Groundhog Day over and over again until he can
actually get it right. What he is striving for is positivity, energy and love.
These are the days that we are living. It is a matter of us
being able to ensure, that what we do, it's ultimately the best for what is. There
are no second takes my friends, we have one chance in order to ensure that what
we do in this moment that is and was in this life is done correctly. There are
so many doubts and questions that we reflect upon in the course of our day.
Often, we are left quivering and unsure as to whether or not our decisions that
we make are indeed timely, sensitive, reflective, and accurate for the situation
and situations that have transpired.
My gentle friends, it is ultimately our beliefs which drive
our thoughts, and our thoughts which drive our actions, and at the end of the
day our actions to drive our endpoints and results. If we want to ensure that
are endpoints are positive, robust and directly proportionately positive for
ourselves and those around us, we will ensure that our beliefs and our thoughts
are positive in nature in pure.
It would be horrible if our thoughts and our actions were primarily
or mainly negative in nature and as such we have to live these moments over and
over again. But if that happened? That is
truly what we see born out in karmic energy. Karmic energy and the resultant
batteries are a way that our negative thoughts and negative actions will come
back and bite us in the arse over and over again across this lifetime and not
surprisingly across the next life spans.
In order to ensure a positive now in the healthy energy
supply, and a positive next life, we must derive a life that is positive in
belief, positive interactions, rooted in Scripture, and rooted in healing
positive.
As we progress forward, we exist within the free will
covenant, as such our choices; our beliefs and their actions are centered in
the ability to make a decision, rooted often in our beliefs. Groundhog Day does
not have to be a day that we merely exist within over and over in order until
we get it right, but an opportunity wherein we can make decisions accurately the
first time, which are rooted in all critical factors: hope, faith and belief and
all filtered through our actions which optimize this current life that we have.
Indeed, we only have one life, one chance, and it is a matter of making this
time matter. And this is a life and a gift, a present, truly a spiritual entity
manifests as a human existence.
My gentle readers and friends, we truly do have a life
altering choice. This choice is to wallow in what we have if it is negative, or
we can make a decision, a conscious choice, in order to the optimize the NOW.
That now is about paying it forward, translating small successes and leveraging
them into bigger and more positive wins. This helps in now and helps the
future.
Quite intriguingly, the best way in order to achieve and
leverage these biggest and wins, is to intensely focus on the smallest miracles
of the moment. The smallest miracle of the moments manifests themselves robustly
and we seethe healthy selfishness of being a child. Those terms are counterintuitive in a Western
culture "healthy selfishness”. It basically means, that we need to look
after ourselves first and foremost before we are able to help others. It is a matter of not considering what others
think, how you dress, what you do, how you play, or how you act. It is a matter
of being right for you in the moment. It is being willing to be lighthearted,
open-minded and willing to play.
It truly is about being at one with the moment, appreciating
the smallest miracles of the moment. The smallest miracles of the moment can
manifest themselves in sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste. At the end of the day the smallest miracle
ultimately reflect themselves along the paradigm that "man is the maker of
straight lines". It is about being able and willing to color outside the
lines, look at the contraries and shapes of the leaf, or appreciate the smell,
belt witness, or curvature of a simple flower petal. This is a miracle my
friends, considering potentially exactly
how much we can optimally translate, yet we don't, and yet how much that we could
absorb, through simple play.
So in order to build the mindfulness of the moment and
recharge your batteries, ensuring also our karmic batteries are charged to
their fullest then lightheartedness, inspiration and play must seriously be
considered and implemented. Sometimes my gentle friends, this is a matter of
stepping back from the demands and challenges of society and truly finding and at
full charge be yourself, often.
