How Far I've Come

 Last year at this time, I don't think I would have believed all that I've accomplished. Life sends us tests; it's just a matter of will you be up for the challenge. This is why; I'm a firm believer in allowing each person to figure things out at their own level.

When you solve something at a more advanced level for someone else the universe will give them a harder test. The problem comes in when you're always trying to save another person and not trusting that they will be able to solve it on their own and are actually stealing a victory from them.

Now at this time, I'm starting to feel more normal for the next smaller challenges. Sort of like it's a bit of house cleaning on some projects. I've still got some irons in the fire, but the stress in winding down. I think it's always the journey and not the destination that's the focus. It stretches and makes us stronger to handle more difficult challenges when they come along.

I look back at all the things that I've dealt with and the different twists and turns that my life seen. The journey hasn't been boring. There has been occasional stress with learning new things. Now for the next journey to see if it removes more obstacles. Life is sometimes like little breadcrumbs, only sometimes you need a flashlight to see those breadcrumbs.

Why Failures Aren't Bad

 In a world where failure is looked upon as less than. Nothing could be farther than the truth. When we fail, we have a reference point. It allows us to know why something didn't work. Maybe it was the timing. Maybe it was a missed step or opportunity. This is not making excuses. This is about looking at why the goal wasn't accomplished.

When your able to look at the goal and take apart each step. It makes it easier to see at what part of the formula or process of steps it was working and where it went off the rails. It makes it easier to document your thinking process. Sometimes there will be multiple ways to get to an end result. Sometimes that isn't the case. Someone might have reached the GOAL but not known how keep it and grow. Sometimes you are educating your mentor without even knowing it.

Wealth creation has many roads to it. Depending on what your goal is? Some will set you up to fail. Some will help to mentor you. Mentors is another ball or wax. Knowing what you are looking for in a mentor when looking for one. Every time we make a misstep we are actually learning something. Therefore, it isn't really a failure. Those from the outside looking in tend to hand out their criticism as though it's knowledge. When they've never even tried to create anything.

Research is your friend, but you need to take steps to find out if that research is sound. Only when you've reached your destination successfully or unsuccessfully do you know for sure. Even your past failures, can be great lessons for you to look back on what worked and what didn't and why! Schools on the other hand punish failure. They aren't really places of education. They're places of behavior training.

There are many ways to learn. Reading, training and trial and error. So next time you're beating yourself up for stumbling. Take a step back and look at what you did right and then tear apart where it went wrong so you can find your solution.

A Divided Nation

 When you've been spoon-fed lies. When will you awaken from your coma? Depending on your education? Which came from the same playbook as Hitler, it might not be for some time. The brain washing goes very deep.

Those that benefit from those lies, made sure of that. It can be like looking into a mirror and trying to find your way out. While those on the outside are told another lie it's sort of like being on a teetertotter. What a balancing act it can be. There are just enough crumbs of truth to make it seem like it might actually be the truth when in fact it's a red herring. 

Interesting that the military is compartmentalized and so is the church; but after all wasn't it the church that used to have crusades. Did they ever end? Or do they just look different to throw us off the scent. Interesting that these two could actually be in bed together causing all the chaos in the world.

So, who are the actual protectors of the people? The betrayal runs pretty deep. The fluctuation of the economies always being in turmoil. The losers are definitely the people. Always being used as though they're a constant supply of money like some kind of bank.

When will they be angry enough to learn or seek the truth. Will they finger point or take a real hard look in the mirror and finally confront the lies. Those that took a different path in their education will start to piece together the truth. It's not an accident that your kept to busy working to come up for air. The distractions oh how many distractions to keep you off balance from discovering the truth.

When will you have had enough, to come up for air and finally breathe. When you do, make sure to take one step at a time. The reality can be quite unsettling. It will take your mind, almost months to finally accept the real reality of things.

So may you finally find peace with the truth.

Self - Love

February is Cupid or Self - Love Month

Selfishness is a good move in self-preservation.

It teaches us to set boundaries and be discerning about who we share out time with.

When was the last time, you spent time alone and just did something that you enjoyed?

Flowers aren't just for special occasions. 

Feeding your senses with food, pleasant smells such as plants, perfume, colognes.

Art, music, sports to just name a few.

Doing things that you enjoy!

There are textures that feed the sense of touch.

Spending time with family and just enjoying each other's company.

There are so many things that we've lost with modern societies demands on our time.

When is the last time that you planned a nice dinner or flowers for yourself?

Going to the theater and drinking in the atmosphere.

So just start spending some time and enjoying life.

Play

 When was the last time you found time for play. It's not about age, it's about finding peacefulness and your center. Whether it's board games, going for a walk in nature or playing a team sport. Enjoy the music that makes you happy! When was the lastime you just foussed on just being!

Find what makes you happy, take a break from social media and cell phones. Soak into silence and take time to enjoy the quiet. When was the last time you spent time with family and just had fun being silly. It can be hard when your used to the stresses of corporate life.

Give yourself permission to take a mental health day or three. Take time to go hiking or camping. Go to a bed and breakfast and tour or see new places. Go sliding down a hill minus the trees this winter. Paint a picture or draw. Go to a movie and enjoy all of it.

If your out in nature, drink in all of it. It will bring peace to your soul. Smell that earthy smell of fall, from those fallen leaves. If cooking or baking is your jam, then enjoy the process. Knitting, embroidery, turn on your favorite music, light a candle and get your cider or hot cocoa and get cozy.

Play with your pets, it will help both of you release pent up stress. Pets are a joy, they welcome us when we come home. They love unconditionally!

Oh the Strangeness of Now!

 We are experiencing the craziness all around us. Be it people picking fights with each other. There is a higher amount of anxiety and fear energy right now. Those that have disconnected to the radio, tv and newspapers or are being more selective about the media. You might be more in the observer mode.

If you've been practicing more self-governance in your daily life. You might be more aware of the manipulation that has been going on. Contrary to belief. We have been going backwards instead of forward. Those that have control issues have been trying to manipulate the masses into the slave master mentality.

This has been more prevalent in europe and other cultures. The US is more slowly waking up to this fact. More lies have been told to the masses. How many presidents are there currently? Well, there hasn't been an actual president in the US for quite awhile. There have been pretenders, like presidents of actual corporations and not the actual government. Britain has been a master of this game for quite sometime. After all they've done it to many countries across the globe.

Oh and did I mention that Britain isn't a county, but a corporation. The lies of Satan and many more to destroy countries, people and land.

The Pretenders

 When it comes to governments. There are so many questions! Who is who and What is what!

There are a lot of fake governments, masquerading as the real thing when they're not! Will the real governments of each country please stand up and may they're people finally come together and wake up from their long slumber of all the lies they've been told.

For that to happen, they all need to know their true history, not some made up shit that masqerades as the truth or half truths. When people have had enough, they will seek the truth and the truth they will find. It may not be pleasant, but it will help set them free. Lies are things that can be sold as a feel good thing, but in the end they are still a lie! 

So will the real governments please stand up for your peoples' sake. So they can know their own freedoms!
