The Smiling Surprise

When you are angry
Try smiling
It will actually make you laugh
At yourself
It is amazing that a smile has such power
It gives objectivity and candor
Truth and emotion
Love and forgiving of yourself
That being human is everything
That being human is all things
That you can smile anytime and it will give perspective
When it is real
Since all emotions are real
A smile is the most powerful
A smile affects not only you however anyone who looks at you
A smile tells the world you can handle it
You can see the humor in it
You can take it and turn it around
A smile is the best friend of all of us
It is the disarmament of our own souls

Under Pressure

The pressures we feel have nothing to do with the people we take them out on
The things we want have nothing to do with who we are
The jobs we work do not define us
WE are who we are no matter what, it is the I that becomes we, the me that becomes us

The pressures put on the blinders
And the angers are displaced
Yet we can turn it around
And say, yes I am angry here and not there
Yes, I have pressure and I will see to it that I don't misdirect it
Yes, it is a tough day, yet I have lived many tough days before
Yes, I feel too tired to try, yet I was never let down when I did

No one can take from me what I do not give them
And I will begin by giving myself the liberty of looking at the other side of things
And not being too stuck in my ways to even try
Stuck is as Stuck does

I will remind myself when I hear myself saying there is nothing I can do
Do and it is done
Think and it is thought
Say and you will hear
Start and you will build a path to begin

Teeter Totter Thoughts

When you can't see eye to eye with life
Which eye is not seeing?
If you can't see eye to eye
It means both can't see
So there can't be a right or wrong
It can only mean different views
Each seeing their way
However no one can see our way
Without us saying they too have a way
There are more paths then one
When you find a soul who can at least hear your path
Then you can describe it better so they can share in your thoughts, in your vision
That is teaching
Arguing that you are right and someone is wrong does not solve
It creates
It creates potholes and quicksand
Which would you rather pay for?
Truth or problems?
Speak your truth and nothing can happen but it being heard
Shout your point of view and it will fall on deaf ears and never be heard
Remember the next time you are upset
To walk away and listen to yourself
And ask yourself if someone talked to you like that, what would you feel or do?
If you don't like your answer, take a breath and keep walking
Until you can say to yourself, what did it take for that person to say this?
How much of it is real?
What should I be looking at if I were a spectator?
It may sound like being too nice, or putting too much thought into something you are right about anyway
However your mind can accommodate others,
And that is the basis of the formations of respect, integrity and candor
You get to live in the truth of what is happening rather than what you want to happen
It is being objective which saves you time on the back end, the clean up, the I am sorry's
Instead you can say, I want to hear what you are saying, I know you didn't mean that, you must be angry or not heard
Just writing that gives me comfort
It is our language and our intention
In everything we choose to do
All we do is a choice and we forget when we speak things like I can't help it
Yes you can and you could
You always know when you intentions are clear
Asking yourself why you are doing or saying what you are doing or saying
Keeps your intentions in the forefront of your mind and it drags your heart into involvement
Speak your truth and hear the truth of others
It is the foundation of who we are
When we can live in enough truth to keep our worlds clean without clutter in our air!

The Invisible Plug

Take on your worst fear
What is it?
That you are scared to tell someone you love them?
That you do not know how to say what is bothering you?
That you won't or can't admit that you are not happy with something and pretend you are?
That you are scared to change careers?
Scared that your dreams are not going to happen?

Whatever it is, try it, not sometime, however make a plan today
Start it this week
Draw up a timeline and date it today
Put it in an envelope and guess what?
You may never need to look at it again
Know you have given your brain a path
A Path to the other side of your fear
A thought process to conquer and teach you that fear is only fear
And that we can do what we fear and then it is not a fear it is a strength
Strength to say, that use to be a fear and look what the other side of fear was
All of this time
Sheez, it just meant turning the corner
Fear is blinding
Yet we can't forget that our eyes are meant to see
So look around the corner
And you will find another corner and another and another
Finally a walk around the block
The whole neighborhood is yours
Pick where you want to live
With all that you thought you didn't deserve or feel was for you
And when you settle in one area
You can invite others in
And they too will learn
The other side of fear
Teaching by doing
And doing by heart
Fear is invisible, yet it can be a concrete slab without a hole in it to peak through
Get your drill out and plug it in
Since fear is invisible, so is the place you can plug in the drill
Anywhere, Anytime whenever you decide
A decision with a return on investment
Your life with benefits
As many as you can accept

The Eyes of Love

Love is not a favor, it is a gift.

When something does not make sense, it combobulates energy, which simply means trouble.

Hurt does not solve issues, pure intent does.

To pretend in one forum is to pretend in all forums.

Did you notice, those without remorse, recourse or redemption are the ones who blame others for noticing what they do?

Did you also notice that love always always wins.

Love is the strongest energy of all, withstands all, speaks from the heart and gives without question.

When love is pure, we will do anything, everything, all things.

The hardest part is to ask yourself if you love, why you love, how you love.

When you know it is the feeling that trusts, grows, that you remember the moments of.

Knowing that, when you have these feelings, follow them, don't tell them, you will get to them when you have time.

It will be enough to give you the balance to live within all things. Love doesn't have to be in everything. Just in enough things so that you can see love everywhere else.

It is our start to begin, to begin anything, and it can only grow from there.

If you trust anything, trust love. It is the only way you can see you. Look at how you live your life. Things that hurt you, find love in. Things that make you happy, find love in. Things that make you mad, find love in. You can when you look. You can when you feel. You can when you are willing to notice you. That you are just living life and doing your best. Say, this is my best and I will keep finding the "bests" of me, or I will say, I am not giving this time. You have choices and part of using those choices, even knowing you have them, is when you can say and feel the love of yourself for yourself, you see, that is the real beginning.

Begin....

Anyone Home?

We will easily speak that we don't expect anything from anyone
That we could do everything on our own
That we don't need anyone
And then we wonder why we are alone

Thoughts of assumption that no one will help
That no one cares
That we don't need anyone
Should be enough red flags to stop a bull

But no not us, we know everything
Forget instinct, our highest calling
We can control what we know
And it will do what we tell it do...
That is until what we are doing doesn't work out

To let control go is to have control
To let fear go is to release our vulnerabilities
To say I need, is to say, I do not want to be one, but two
To say I care, says that I want to be cared for
To say I don't expect is to say I am not honest with myself

So what if you care?
So what if you need?
So what if you want?
The biggest so what is to not ask for these of yourself, of others

So many of us live with our eyes half open
Trying to outdo ourselves and everyone else
We work hard for what we have and what we do
And then we don't know how to enjoy it

So what if I have a great car and I can't smile?
So what if I have a great home no one visits?
So what, I say to myself, before I fall asleep alone?

Love is so what
Your life is so what
Stop taking life away
Let your eyes open and see the whole picture
Not just the picture you want to see
You see, it is not that we believe what we see that is so important
It is to see what you believe, and the more you believe, the more you have to see

Fear or Flowers?

Fears give to us the reasons to not do it
The reasons to not try
The reasons to say I can't
Fears give us to reasons to turn logic into the illogical
To say I have issues with...
To say I don't deserve to have this person, job, or thing
To say I didn't because...
Fears want to take control
To say to us, I am taking a little bit of your life, everyday
And we forget that we can talk back to fear
We can tell it it is not our friend
That fear will make us do things we don't understand
Say things we don't mean
Attach to people for the wrong reasons
We can tell fear it has had enough time to play in my playground
And I am growing to remove the equipment
And plant seeds
I am going to put in flowers and water them
With colors and purpose
Planning and compromise
I am going to water them and speak to them
Listen to music as I weed it
I am go to remind the garden that the heavy equipment on top of it is gone
That the weight of the rusted metals and bent slides are no longer available
Everytime I will want to use fear to stop myself from life
I will go to my garden and see how life grows
How little it needs
And how big we allowed fear to be
Fear is there when we need it
For an excuse to not do something we want
And then one day we won't need it
And the flowers are allowed to grow
For the sums of us are the growths of our souls and the souls of us are the sums of our growths

Life With Momentum

You know when you start to live in the moment...
It is when you stop complaining, feeling nervous or want to take things out on others
You know when you start to live in your dreams...
It is when you love what you do, and work is not like working, it is who you are
You know when anything is possible...
It is when "No" is not an answer
You know when you have arrived...
It is when you see the world, and you have no fear, no doubt, no worry of how the world sees you
