My Last Week

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:33:48 +0000

Well just like all of you – things go wrong at times. My computer crashed and I was like a fish out of water without it. I felt completely lost and almost cut off from all of my contacts. It had to be totally rebuilt and I had to use a computer belonging to someone else, just to make sure that I kept in touch but I didn’t have all my addresses, did I?
In today’s world, we seem to have lost the human touch. It is the age of technology. I rarely make many phone calls these days, except for the trusty cell. I am emailing or texting – I know it is a great way to stay in touch but it still is nice to hear someones voice and physically meet with them. We are often too busy to catch up with friends and family. Do you know that socializing has many health benefits?
It provides us with mental stimulation and often in this social situation we laugh and enjoy ourselves – thereby elevating our vibrations and we find that our thought patterns are very positive. Laughter is truly one of the best medicines – it releases endorphins in the brain and gives us that happy feeling. You will find that the extended family is one of the happiest and parents and grandparents live to a greater age than those who live alone.
Especially at this time of year, please make the effort to contact friends, family and loved ones and get together. If there has been a rift or problem – try healing it and stay in touch. Your good health depends upon you not harboring any ill feelings and releasing any negative thoughts you are thinking about anything or anyone. Just try it and pretend that these negative thoughts are 50 pound bags of sand on your shoulders. Release the thoughts and throw off the weight that has kept you down. This is all part of life’s journey and you will realize how much better you feel.

Pounding In and Pulling Out Nails

I received this from a friend of mine and I liked it so I thought I would share it with you. The author’s name is at the end. The moral of the story is very good and sometimes we all have to recover from hurt. What are your thoughts?
When I confronted my daughter after she hurt another child with a mean comment, she cried and immediately wanted to apologize. That was a good thing, but I wanted her to know an apology can’t always make things better.
I told her the parable of Will, a 9-year-old whose father abandoned his mom two years earlier. Will was angry, and he often lashed out at others with hurtful words. He once told his mom, “I see why Dad left you!”
Unable to cope with his cruel outbursts, she sent him to his grandparents for the summer. His grandfather’s strategy to help Will learn self-control was to make him go into the garage and pound a two-inch-long nail into a four-by-four board every time he said a mean thing.
For a small boy, this was a major task, and he couldn’t return until the nail was all the way in. After about ten trips to the garage, Will began to be more cautious about his words. Eventually, he even apologized for all the bad things he’d said.
That’s when his grandmother stepped in. She told him to bring in the board filled with nails and instructed him to pull them all out. This was even harder than pounding them in, but after a huge struggle, he did it.
His grandmother hugged him and said, “I appreciate your apology, and of course I forgive you because I love you, but I want you to know an apology is like pulling out one of these nails. Look at the board. The holes are still there. The board will never be the same. Your dad put a hole in you, Will, but please don’t put holes in other people. You’re better than that.”

The Pathway

“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.” Andrew Carnegie

That is a very powerful statement but first we must know what our goal is. You must be certain that you know what you want. When you know your life purpose, you will be able by thought to achieve all that you desire or visualize.

We will take a simple example but this example applies to any goal or goals you want to achieve. If, for example, you want to lose weight – know how much you want to lose -30 pounds and what is the time frame you are allowing yourself. We have done the calculations that we will lose 5 pounds per month – you must be realistic. This is not an impossible amount. You may do better, but at least you know that 5 pounds is achievable per month. Now the math tells us that this will take 6 months.

Write it down – at the end of the month 5 pounds – at the end of 6 months – 30 pounds. Now we will break it down even further. Visualize that you have already achieved the goal and what it feels like.

Write down what you want to achieve every day and put it in great detail. This lets your subconscious mind know what it has to work on.

It is like going into a field of tall grass, you walk through it and suddenly you create a path. If you kept walking through this field on this same path you had created – it would be very visible. This is the same as your thoughts. You must constantly tell yourself what you want to achieve and these thoughts will be like a pathway to your brain. If you want an inspirational day join one of these one day events.

Thoughts can move mountains!!!
