Decisions

Decisions, Decisions

Everyone and I mean everyone faces critical and life changing decisions every day. You may not think that some decisions are life changing but I assure you every decision you make changes your life and directs you on a path toward a specific goal or experience. Often times we see a simple decision as to whether we stop at a fast food restaurant or wait till we get home to fix ourselves a salad as a life changing decision but the converse is true. Every decision you make whether it be what to have for breakfast, whether or not to get angry at your coworker, or deciding whether you will watch a movie or read a book all create a line of behaviors that will guide your day, week, and month.

Now I am not saying that you will ruin your life if you have a burger or a salad, that you will lead your life to destruction if you get angry at someone versus remaining peaceful, or that your life will end up in nirvana when you read a book versus watching a movie but everything you do affects everything else you do. One thing I know from experience is that we are all connected. I have learned from many wise sages like David Byrne, Wayne Dyer, and Amit Gosswami that we all have a unique connection to our universal mind, field, or God that interconnects us all. Everything we choose not only affects our path but also the path of the human race globally.

Every being is a unique representation of our existence on this Earth. As we go through our experiences and our life’s journey we all make decisions that impact the next decision we make. What is important about this concept is that we make decisions that we consider good for ourselves. If we are making decisions that lead us to do something contrary to what we believe then that might lead you down the wrong time line. I have been down hundreds of time lines that I didn’t like and changed at some point. One of those was I watched too much TV and eventually became addicted to it. That all started with one decision which lead to another and then another until my life was taken over with sitting in front of the TV for hours upon hours.


I am not casting judgment on people who sit in front of the TV for endless hours of entertainment but it was not what I wanted and had to change it. So all it took was one decision and then another and then finally another until I found myself watching less and less TV. I still struggle with the addiction but am making progress because of my first decision. All it takes Is one act and all will be changed if you want it to.

Finding Joy

Finding Joy If you are like me, finding joy is not a difficult thing to do, but it is something that takes practice, dedication, and focus to do effectively. If you are like me you laugh at the comical things that happen in your life, you genuinely smile at a child as you see them, or you think pleasant thoughts as you recollect a joyful memory. We all do this instinctively and that is easy. We find joy all around us every moment we give awareness to one or more of our experiences. The gentle sway of the trees, the colorful sunrise, or the sweet taste of a cold glass of water on a hot summers day are all ways we may experience joy as we progress through our day. This type of joy surrounds us and we don't have to do anything, other than observe and experience it, to make it a part of our day. I think what most of us want to do is to increase that joy. This goal is a matter of seeing, feeling, and experiencing that joy as it passes us in turbulent times. Most of us find little joy...

Dedicate 5 Minutes

Dedicate 5 Minutes It took 5 minutes to write this blog. If you dedicate 5 minutes to your immediate goal each day you will see a dramatic improvement in the journey you are experiencing toward that goal. In the morning or night set aside a time to visualize your goal. Do it daily and do it for 5 minutes. Be specific in your visualization and be consistent in your practice and before long you will see subtle hints that you are on your way to accomplishment. For example if you want to enjoy your workplace a little more take 5 minutes and visualize yourself smiling where you work. 5 minutes doesn't seem like very long but when you are in the meditative or Alpha state it can seem like a long time and you will want to give up. Don't give up. 5 minutes a day. Surely you can give that much for your peace of mind and happiness.

Perfection

Perfection Perfection like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What this means is that beauty as well as perfection vary with each individual. How can perfection change? What is it? If we do something different is it still perfect? These are but a few of the questions that people, including me, think about when considering perfection. There are as many definitions of perfection as there are human beings on the Earth. There are as many ideas of what perfection is as there are cultures, environmental experiences, and behavioral reactions to our reality. What is perfect for one person may be totally imperfect for another. That being said, there are common threads that most human beings share that govern their perspective of what perfection is and more often than not, if that idea of perfection is not achieved, it will give us headaches, stress, high blood pressure, anger, hatred, shame, frustration, and every other negative emotion possible. A classic example is something I experie...
