New Year’s Resolutions
Posted: December 10, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: change, happiness, the way Leave a commentI have never been a fan of the “New Year’s Resolution” so many people talk about. I’m truly glad for people that make the change in their life and stick to it. I just cannot help but feel that if you want to truly change, you start right now. Waiting is just another excuse not to pursue your happiness. Don’t lie to yourself. Are you scared? That is OK. Fear can sometimes be a great teacher.
When it’s time to change, write your goals, make a plan. Even better for me has been the Bliss List. Feel and trust the power of Love, even when you can’t go on… especially when you can’t go on.
Naming a time in the future will work for some of you – but why wait? January 1st is just a date. True change must not wait; you don’t have enough life to waste.
I give up. Now what?
Posted: December 3, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: complete honesty, motivation, perseverance, the way Leave a commentI find myself wanting to give up on my dreams and priorities constantly. What keeps me going forward?
Every time I decide I’m through, I say to myself, “Ok, I quit. Now what will I do?”
Then I start right back what I was doing. This is my life. Usually for better, sometimes for worse, I must follow Love. It will never be easy; challenges are how you get better and grow. Never stop challenging yourself.
no-tivation
Posted: November 28, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: complete honesty, motivation Leave a commentSome days start so well. But by lunch I haven’t really done much and I’ve just wasted time. If I don’t focus on the negative so much that should help. Sometimes you will be tired, sometimes it will be your fault; your dreams still need realized. You have exactly enough time to live your life, DO NOT fret. Leave only what you are not afraid of dying having left undone.
Never stop: Singing, Creating, Playing, Smiling, Loving.
being the underdog
Posted: November 23, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: complete honesty, no-mind Leave a commentBeing the underdog is easy. There’s no pressure. But when you are expected to succeed, the mind and ego can begin to play tricks on you. How do you stay focused and relaxed?
Repeat after me.

Still breathing?
Focus is Love in its purest form.
don’t be jealous of your friends
Posted: November 13, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: complete honesty, happiness, success Leave a commentI have the problem of being jealous sometimes. It even seems worse with my friends successes. It’s horrible to type this, but this is something I need to address.
At first glance it seems to stem from my Love and desire to do everything… I hate missing things. But it has to stem from something deeper than that. I guess I hate not having what I deem “success” (a definition I never clearly defined – maybe that’s the problem?) in what I work hardest for, so when someone else has a positive experience, I reflect it as a failure of myself not to be celebrating something positive too.
The lesson? Friends are me too. We share Love and life, for better or worse. They support me; I support them. I need to let these thoughts come and go without allowing them to lose focus on what I am working towards. Success is internal, not obtained from some outside source or organization. Where there is happiness and Love, focus is success.
Music is Sport, Sport is Music
Posted: November 9, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: poem, random thought Leave a commentSome say cut music but keep sport.
The day is long,
But the life is short.
Why not promote happiness?
Better yet,
Encourage it.
The same skills are learned,
Teamwork and dedication;
When to take your turn.
There is just less competition.
But must we teach children
That only the strong survive?
I know the happy thrive.
So realize this;
Whether Home Runs,
Bach or Liszt,
Life does not end when the final bell hits.
2013 Priorities
Posted: November 7, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: goals vs priorities, Love, the way Leave a commentThis year I decided to focus my energy on Priorities instead of Goals. I called it my Bliss List.
For 2013 I think I’m going to make it even more simple:
LOVE
Why won’t I accept Love?
Posted: October 30, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: complete honesty, Love Leave a commentI’ve talked about Love here before. It (some times more than others) is all for us. I really committed myself to focus on Love in everything I do, when I am with people, animals, strangers or alone, Love is god.
But when someone tries to love me, I find I shut them out. Is this because I grew up lacking the typical ‘motherly’ love children need? Or am I just unable to accept what is the most important resource the world has ever known? I can give it out when I want; but why the constant need to reject it from the people closest to me? They want to love me; they need to sometimes.
Love is not a one-way street.. it is an endless ocean, you can either swim or you stay on the shore, but don’t try and just float there when it’s convenient.
