Live Without Barriers
Some hearts will never open.
Some minds will never be changed.
Step down from the podium of blame.
Don’t allow yourself to be held back.
Prevail. Succeed. Live. Be Happy.
Try Something New, Dream Big! Create a Vision Board!
Maybe some of those New Year resolutions just didn’t pan out
like you thought they would. Spring is another time of newness and
rejuvenation; do some Spring cleaning! In other words, declutter and rid
yourself of the things that don’t work in your life and do some soul searching!
The
purpose of a Vision Board (aka Dream Board) is to help you focus on your
dreams, goals, and aspirations in life. Some say it’s a magical process...
Start with a poster board or old cardboard –
reusing will bless your board with good karma!
All you have to do is take pictures (from magazines, your phone, the
internet, etc.) that depict your goals or things you want to obtain. If you
can’t find the right pictures, you can also spell it out with words. Just cut
out whole words or letters from publications and attach them to your board. You
can add backgrounds and more things for inspiration. Pick a theme like sports,
your career, education, hobbies or leave it all inclusive like most do.
The
board will continue to grow and expand as you accomplish your goals and think
of new ones. You can also make a stack of books that inspire you or use your
cubicle wall as a Vision Board. There are no wrong ways to create your
Vision Board.

All in All
In all the books and articles I’ve read, concepts I’ve
studied, internet research I’ve conducted, and the seminars and workshops I’ve
attended --- I have come to the realization that nothing Soothes the Soul or
facilitates Calmness like Nature, and nothing makes us feel Good or Happy like
Kindness.
The 12 Laws of the Universe
1. Law of Divine Oneness: The Law of
Divine Oneness explains how we are all connected in some way. Everything we do,
say or think is connected and effects all others and this vast universe we live
in.
2. The Law of Vibration: The Law of
Vibration is all about how everything in this universe vibrates or moves. It
also explains how each thing, sound, thought, emotion and words all have their
very own vibration or frequency in which it lives.
3. The Law of Action: The Law of Action
states that we must move in the direction of our dreams in order to achieve
them. We must engage in some action that supports what we think about and or
dream about.
4. The Law Of Correspondence: The Law of
Correspondence states “as above, so below” or in other words, everything has its
own corresponding counterpart.
5. The Law Of Cause And Effect: This
Universal Law I’m sure you’ve heard of. Maybe you know it by another name. You
know: every action has an equal or opposite reaction. Yep, that’s this law in a
nutshell.
6. The Law Of Compensation: The Law of
Compensation is really the Law of Cause and Effect as it relates to how we are
provided with blessings based on our deeds and daily actions. You’ve heard what
comes around goes around; well here it is, as a Law of Nature.
7. The Law Of Attraction: The Law of
Attraction is certainly the most talked about spiritual law but, it is not the
only spiritual law as you can see on this page. This Universal Law is all about
how we create the things and events in our lives with the energies we create
with our thoughts, words, actions, and feelings.
8. The Law of Transmutation Of Energy:
This Universal Law demonstrates how all people have the ability and the power
to change their current situations in life. You can do this by changing the
energies that you are putting out into the world, by following and
understanding these universal laws of attraction.
9. The Law of Relativity: The Law of
Relativity states that all things are relative. We are all given our own
roadblocks, our own personal challenges we must face in order to grow as
individuals and by comparing yours to other peoples circumstances is a waste,
because there situations are different, yet, relative.
10. The Law of Polarity: This law states
that just like a magnet that has opposite polarities so does everything else in
nature. Everything has an equal opposite such as good and evil or yes and no.
11. The Law of Rhythm: The Law of Rhythm
explains how everything in the universe has its own rhythm. These rhythms are
important to our very existence. These rhythms are what create the seasons.
This rhythm is what the cycle of life is all about. All cycles have parts to
them that we favor less and it is in how we deal with these things that are
important.
12. The Law of Gender: This law simply
states that there is both a feminine and a masculine principle to all things in
nature. It is up to us to open ourselves up to these gender principals to
create balance in our lives. Imagine this law as the law of yin and yang.
Prayer and The One Unanswered
When I was a child I would pray. I would kneel at the foot of my bed and put my hands together pointing up. I would close my eyes, concentrate, and often press my face against my hands (nose to thumbs). My prayer always ended with
“… keep my soul free
from sin. Keep those that I love free from sin. And take my soul to heaven when
I die.”
When I was a teenager I prayed to be brave. I prayed for
confidence. I prayed to ignore my haters and for them to not harm me. I prayed
the bullies would leave me alone. I prayed for skills to defend myself. I prayed
for God to change me; to not be different.
I was brave even though I didn’t think so at the time.
Confidence came and so did defensiveness. But I was to be different. That was
my calling and it still is. I was not chosen to be a light on the strand that
decorates, but rather a single candle flickering in the window directing
attention.
Attention is power.
Attention is power.
My beliefs have changed over the decades. I choose personal affirmations
over prayer. I even wrote a customized mantra:
I believe in me and all that I do
I believe in goodness and that of
everyone
(I believe that I will be well received)
I believe in the universe and
that it is ours for the making
There is power in prayer.
Terms have changed, understandings have evolved, and
explanations have become vaguer. But it really is all the same. I have never stopped
talking to “God”.
To be ComplainLess
- Be aware.
Recognize your typical paths to complaining – what (who) sparks your
tendency to gripe. Minimize your exposure to them (eliminating those
’sparks’ altogether may not always be realistic or the best thing). Know
that your grumbling is a complete waste of energy.
- Be thankful.
Regularly reflect on all the good in your life (people, opportunities,
things). Understand and enjoy how lucky you really are. Be entitled to
nothing.
- Be patient. Pause before you begin. Nip a complaint as you feel it coming. Put a smile or
thoughtful statement in its path. Blame no one. Blame nothing.
- Be accountable.
Focus on solving problems rather than having them. Set the example for
others and recommit when you slip. Care for yourself and create a positive
habit.
Be Your Own Revolution
When you're
trying to motivate yourself, appreciate the fact that you're even thinking about making a
change. And as you move
forward, allow yourself to be good enough. Perfectionism can undo what you're trying to
achieve.
Change Your Perception: Thinking of life as unfair is only one perception, and it is
not necessarily
the way your life is. Realize
that while you cannot control the
things that happen to you, you can control how you react to them.
BeLive
I Believe in me
I Believe in the goodness of everyone
I Believe that I will be well received
Believe in goodness, generosity, and gratitude. Think positively and will your dreams into reality. That is the Law of Attraction.
The other notion is Living in the Now by being present or alive in the present moment --- being completely aware and meditative, yet able to enjoy the experiences of life and your time spent (from waiting in line to riding a roller coaster) with all of your being.
