Nov 5/16
As I am sitting in a large coffee chain location - I find my thoughts are all over the place and random. I was going to write about a different topic - however this day has been one that had not turned out as planned. Totally in a good way and filled with which appears to be random opportunities, that have came across my path today and they have altered my reality in a significant way. Sometimes I start to question to why today seems and feels so different - which I would like to share.
I met up with an old colleague that I have not spent time with in a long while. This person and I were also waiting for results on a submitted proposal to a third party for over four months now. So what appears to be a random lunch meeting - maybe it was not? One of the items discussed was I communicated I still have not heard any feedback from the proposal. While I was sitting over lunch and having a conversation - I could feel my phone going off a few times. As I related to in some of my previous chapters - time is truly a great gift - and to give your time to someone else, one should respect that person and this respect should also come back to you. One way of ensuring I do that - I will ignore my cell phone while I am having a conversation with someone else. As I feel it is disrespectful and it is another form of allowing interruptions with the precious time you are spending with someone.
After lunch was over and we had parted ways - I did check my phone and one of the messages waiting to be read was an email communicated that the proposal was accepted. ( another colleague taught me the importance of putting aside my cell phone. In my past as I was talking with people if my phone would go off, I will switch my attention to my phone and ignore the person. He respectfully commented that perhaps I should mange my time in a different way - which I am so grateful he brought this up to me. I also wanted to point out - the message was waiting - it was not going anywhere and that news would have no real impact waiting to read it. ) So all the months of waiting and at that particular moment news was received - was that random? Ultimately it is you that had to decide that. However my view is that it was not random and what that moment provided me was further fuel to propel me along the current path I am on. The choices I am making are the ones that are aligning up to the path written by me for me.
This has also turned my thoughts to balance and the importance to have that. It is important to allow life's randomness to provide you some kind of direction. Like floating with a current in a stream - however there are times when the moment is right that you need to make some decisions and to not always allow the current to fully direct your life. An example of that is your river might have a fork in it and if you stay in it, it will take you over a deadly water fall. Your survival instinct will kick in and intuitively you will know to paddle out of that current and go move your canoe to the opposite fork to avoid the fatal water falls. By doing this it will allows you to continue to grow and be provided with the experience of a new part of the river.
When you are struggling the most of what direction you should take in life, take a breath, pause a moment and your inner self will provide you the direction. You will have the knowledge in you to avoid the deadly forks and follow the ones that provide positive growth.
Use the natural energy around you to increase the joy of your life's journey. The healthy river currents are waiting for you to propel you to your greatness.

The 32nd Chapter - Find Your Clarity
Oct 31/16
A moment of reflection to share. It all ties into when you start making the small choices that align up with what you truly want. It is almost magical that you will start to have more clarity - you will start feeling and knowing what your next steps need to be. If these next steps are in alignment of what you truly want you should be starting to feel like your gaining energy from these choices or moments of clarity.
The next step will be to have the strength to make these changes. In general we are typically comfortable in our current reality and although we may not be completely happy with ourselves or our current status quo. We will remain there like the frog in the slowly warming water. We know what to expect and that will provide us with a sense of stability of a known future. However if your feeling a sense of being unsettled it is likely you might need to make some changes. These changes can be small ones, like going for a walk or call a friend and share some new positive ideas or thoughts. Or it might be a lot bigger like changing a relationship or even maybe a job or start a new career.
When you take a moment to think and feel you will know what choices you have to make. Also when you decide to make a change to increase the value of how you feel in life. Remember this journey of life is now new to you and you will make mistakes and you will want to go back to the before period. However if you know your making the correct choices stay on this path of the new journey.
So specifically my reflection is - over the past year or so, I have made a few choices I knew and now know were not the correct ones for me. As time went on of me making the incorrect choices I noticed some of my close friends drifted away and I did not spend as much time with family as I should have. On a deeper level, over time, I slowly lost my clarity of who I am and what I truly wanted to accomplish in life. It was as if I was lost in a cloud or was observing someone else's life and not my own. My passion and uniqueness was discounted over that year by myself and my biggest learning from that year was not to allow others alter my own person of being. Allowing my confidence to slip away to the put of was just left with going through the action of life and not truly living life.
If you are starting to feel this way or you can relate to some of this chapter and you are searching for some people and clarity. I hope these words have provided some comfort and a start of how to tangible way to make some changes in your life. Like the weight loss programs I wrote about earlier, start looking deeper into the whys of what is not working for you. Once you have determined the why's you will be able to identify where you need to go. It shouldn't matter what your spiritual or religious beliefs are, you are indeed allowed to feel joy in your life and that your quest is up to you to fill the the rest of the pages.
You have all the answers you need inside of you for you - the key is to find tools, reading, other positive people to talk to provide ways for you to unlock your next steps. All of these resources come to you when you need them and the true sources of this gift, will give it to you freely and as much as you need. You will also start to have the sense the new choices you are making are the correct ones for you.
Start slowly with this exercise and only make decisions when you know your ready. With anything you practice it will become easier and quicker to receive the clarity you are looking for.
Enjoy the beginnings of the new positive feelings of your hard work you have created.

The 31st Chapter - Find Your Passion - Repeat Your Passion
Oct 30/16
I feel compelled to write down some random thoughts. As I am sitting here writing I can feel energy and thoughts coming from other people. Also having the overwhelming feeling I know I am meant to be here right now and writing. An old acquaintance walked into the store I am sitting in and the conversation turned to them going to Hawaii and specifically to the island of Oahu. What a feeling to be aware and to be alive - the feeling of growth and confidence combined.
When I first started creating these writings my primary goal was to put pen to paper and use these words to heal and grow myself. A moment of reflection - it has been just over a year that I started writing down my thoughts. This started very slowly at first and usually quite brief in length. Now I find myself wanting to create more and would like to spend more time doing it.
The meaning of using some kind of art or a creative process as an outlet is in full force in me. Support to anyone that might stumble across this writing is - yes go for it, do what you need to do. I can also feel as you read these words - these words were created just for you - it is almost overwhelming but strangely comforting. Isn't life amazing? How is this possible right now of what just happened? It's almost like magic or a quest or a new leg of your journey has started?
Enjoy the moment and experiences and let your inner small child become alive again. Like Picasso said "every child is born a artist - the trick is to not forget that when you grow older". Take a moment now and just feel - write down your thoughts. Quiet your mind and whatever comes to you - allow time to write it down - there is a purpose to why that thought just came to you right now. Use these thoughts, even if it is only one to start with. Start creating your strong foundation which will enable you to be strong and withstand life's challenges. Not only stand strong with these challenges but you will be able to grow and evolve during these storms.
As you practice this you will start to find joy and strength even with things are difficult for you. When you have moments of uncomfortable emotions - gather strength from knowing the fact that these moments will pass. Overtime as you recognize these moments your strong foundation will allow you to move through these uncomfortable moments. These moments will happen less and less and when that starts to happen - share your experiences and your growth/accomplishments to others. With the intent to help and pay it forward (always remain kind and truthful to you and others around you) You will make a positive impact in someone else - now isn't that powerful? You could be the first being a duck sees. How is the positive impact of that even measurable?
Things like this makes me feel - wow life is really amazing!!!!! and worth living.
Enjoy - Practice - Be Great and repeat.

The 30th Chapter - When is Enough Reflection Enough
Oct 30/16
Once again I am grateful that I am able to sit down for a moment and put pen to paper. I never knew how much peace and joy being able to write down my thoughts would move me in a positive direction.
So my thoughts drifted to how my lenses of my view on the world and how that impacts me. A person once told me that - "maybe sometimes I might search too much to find a deeper meaning when I experience something in life." and the suggesting was maybe whatever happened was a simple as just what it appears to be on the surface. As that thought absorbed into me over the next few days - I might spend too much time looking for deep meaning The comment still remained with me and did not fade away - if felt to me that I had to formulate a feeling and search out if that statement was in fact true. (On a side note - I am doing it right now aren't I...ha ha) but anyhow. I now feel that the moments that remain in you in your day to day lives are truly ones that do have a deeper meaning.
Life is full of patterns and as kids we usually always enjoy a quest or adventure. As we grow older I believe we start to lose our natural ability to use our reflexes. I believe we are set out as brand new vessels as babies and we area coded with all the skill sets that we require to be successful. I heard that a baby duck will simulate whatever the first living thing that duck see's once it is hatched. The power of our surrounding have such a dramatic effect.
So back to the thought of me finding deep meaning into life's experiences - yes absolutely - it is meant for us to spend sometime trying to figure out the meaning. Sometimes that meaning might not appear at the moment - but with time and if that thought or experience does not fade away. Then it is not meant to fade away. Embrace it and have the confidence to explore what you have experienced. As our days of full of experiences and interactions with others - those brief moment that do stay are meant to for a reason. The vast majority of your day these moments will not appear and you are not able to search them out. They will just happen on their own - this short chapter was in a way created by one brief comment of a brief observation by someone else, When you are living your life with alignment on what you want and in your energy zone (harmony) these moments will come.
So in my experiences sometimes these brief moments have taken over a year for them to provide some kind of meaning. Be patient, open and aware of when the next quest of meaning comes to you.
This is another example of the universe providing the fuel for you to move forward with purpose and fulfillment.

The 29th Chapter - Embrace Your Normal
Oct 29/16
I would like to share an experience that happened yesterday - that is once I have made small choices on a daily basis that align up to what I truly want in life. I can feel more each day the energy around me and inside of me. Now I know that to traditional beliefs this might not sound plausible or even somewhat crazy. To me it is totally real and my hope is to provide support to whatever your non-traditional ability might be. From that point embrace it and let your gift grow stronger in you. Fully allow yourself to be who you know you are. Please be mindful to always have positive thoughts in mind and not putting out negative energy to others or causing pain to anything.
Use whatever gift you may have in a positive way and be confident that you are not crazy. I believe, as an advanced people that we think we are, we have only started to begin to understand the complexity of been a human. Usually our normal behavior, when we do not understand something, we will usually discount it and provide a easy explanation to what is going on or what we just observed.
The patterns I enjoy and how they seem to happen over and over. In modern times when we see or hear people do things that we cannot explain, usually in young people, our institutions will slowly start to change their behaviors into a way that most of us act in that current reality. It is easier to ensure everyone conforms to a normalcy vs. trying to explain or accommodate someone that is different. If by small efforts into trying to change people's behavior does not work then the traditional combination of counselling and some form of medication that will start to change young peoples behavior. So instead of growing someones special gift and showing how to channel these gifts - we will alter their reality to align up with our know understanding of ours. With the belief, in general, we are providing tangible tools to help young people to succeed in life - when in reality the root cause of the issue has not been addressed.
It is like emotionally bondage that does not have long term positive effect and sometimes may lead to a life time of pain for these people. Our methods have changed on how we deal with people that are different in our current time however the root cause of misunderstanding has not. The same reality of creating a positive reality has still not been achieved. A couple hundred years ago people that were different were burnt to death and before that people were also treated like some kind of instrument of a dark force.
The pattern usually always turns back to what we do not understand or know we will in some form try to destroy whatever unknown beautiful gifts that is in front of use. Granted yes there are extreme causes of behavior where people either hurt themselves or others - then of course all measures need to be taken to ensure safety.
I am making references to the smaller impact of peoples energy around them. To support people you observe that are different by asking them questions and believing in them 100%. There are very popular movies out over the last few years that talk about people that have very unique abilities. They are usually presented in a fantasy and fiction based - but is it?
I think its possible to take a moment and think of at least one person that you have met that is actually different and do have some kind of gift. As you ponder that question - think and feel, use your internal compass and that will provide you the answers to that question.

The 28th Chapter - Make Your Choices Count
Oct 23/16
My thoughts have taken me to how to provide some support to those who have struggled with the belief and confidence in your gut feelings. My experience has been people that can feel energy off of other peoples words. Sometimes if we make choices and surround ourselves with people that may not always have our best interests at heart, it can become difficult. What I mean is when we feel things and ask a person about those feelings and we get a verbal response that does not align up to our feelings. As we are so trusting of these people in our life that what could happen overtime we allow those verbal words from others to overwrite what the energy is telling us - based on what we are feeling from this conversation.
Which could lead to us losing our confidence in our ability to trust our built in energy meter. When this process starts to happen, slowly overtime, we start to lose who we are and will slowly become more unbalanced. We will slowly start to shut down things in our life that used to provide us with joy and stability. When this happens the foundation of us is not able to be maintained and our strength to enjoy life may start to disappear.
It is like we become an observer of our own life - one could describe it as like living in a fog. The things that used to be so clear to us now are not able to see. The energy is drained out of us and is a struggle to stay in the moment with ourselves. Keep in mind this process will take sometime depending how much time you spend with these type of people combined with how much control you give up in your life to these type of exchanges.
In my case it took about a year, at the start of the year feeling so alive, so full of energy to the point my skin could feel the positive energy around me. Slowly over the year one feeling and one conversation at a time - my feelings and the person I was became lost. In my case I noticed health effects which included loose of sleep and a general feeling of fatigue to list a few. It will happen so slowly you probably will not even realize it. It was only after I removed this type of people from my life did I realize the negative impact it was having on me.
The long hard process now starts of rebuilding yourself and will start to ask questions like What has just happened? Who am I? So awareness is the key to recognize this has just happened but better yet you have now realized what was slowly draining you of your life's energy. This is like the process of learning to walk, do not let yourself lay on the ground when you fall, but to learn from your choices and stand up even stronger. Lean from how the slow drain of emotionally vampire experience was and how it changed you as the person you should be.
As you know by now I appreciate the value of pattern and of numbers. So I thought of three things or check points that you can bring into your life as a gauge to know who you should surround yourself with in your life. By using these tools you can also allow yourself to stay in the your moment and to enjoy life.
Step 1. Is to pay attention to the words of a person you are talking to and from there leads to step 2. Step 2. Ask yourself does their words align up to what they are saying in regards to their non-verbal communication? So if they are telling you there is nothing wrong but their non-verbal communication is showing the opposite. There is a few things that could be adding to this, maybe anger? or tears? or outright aggression? If this does happen rarely then the thought would be not a pattern and as we are humans we all do make mistakes and not an issue. However if this reoccurs then go to step 3. Step 3 is pay attention to what energy you are picking up? What are you feeling does it align up to either verbal or non-verbal communication?
Your final check of what your built in energy compass is telling you. I can not express this enough - go with your compass and do not question it. Just go with it and keep this thought simple in you - if you do not head to this internal warning you will lose yourself. This compass can be compared to your true magnetic north pole, use this as your guide to your path.
Now from what you decide to do now is critical. If you decide to ignore your magnetic compass you will start the slow journey of losing yourself and you will become lost on your quest. This will happen with ignoring yourself and one experience or event one moment at a time.
My suggestion would be if a person has three different conversations with you and all three conversations you do not receive alignment of the 3 steps. Perhaps it is time to think this relationship and the impact it is having on you. In my case putting distance is paramount when experiences like this happen. I can assure you if you continue to have people like this in your life that over time you will lose yourself - that there is no question.
I am not saying these people are bad people it might just be more of a case the different type of energy that is getting exchanged is not in alignment. For your own health and growth to chose to have different type of people in your life that help in building your strong foundation.
You truly are the captain of yourself and you ultimately have to take all the credit for all of your outcomes you experience in life. Just pay attention and heed the light houses that come into your life to direct you away from a unwanted disaster.

So awareness is the key to recognize this has just happened but better yet you have now realized what was slowly draining you of your life's energy. This is like the process of learning to walk, do not let yourself lay on the ground when you fall, but to learn from your choices and stand up even stronger. Lean from how the slow drain of emotionally vampire experience was and how it changed you as the person you should be.
As you know by now I appreciate the value of pattern and of numbers. So I thought of three things or check points that you can bring into your life as a gauge to know who you should surround yourself with in your life. By using these tools you can also allow yourself to stay in the your moment and to enjoy life.
Step 1. Is to pay attention to the words of a person you are talking to and from there leads to step 2. Step 2. Ask yourself does their words align up to what they are saying in regards to their non-verbal communication? So if they are telling you there is nothing wrong but their non-verbal communication is showing the opposite. There is a few things that could be adding to this, maybe anger? or tears? or outright aggression? If this does happen rarely then the thought would be not a pattern and as we are humans we all do make mistakes and not an issue. However if this reoccurs then go to step 3. Step 3 is pay attention to what energy you are picking up? What are you feeling does it align up to either verbal or non-verbal communication?
Your final check of what your built in energy compass is telling you. I can not express this enough - go with your compass and do not question it. Just go with it and keep this thought simple in you - if you do not head to this internal warning you will lose yourself. This compass can be compared to your true magnetic north pole, use this as your guide to your path.
Now from what you decide to do now is critical. If you decide to ignore your magnetic compass you will start the slow journey of losing yourself and you will become lost on your quest. This will happen with ignoring yourself and one experience or event one moment at a time.
My suggestion would be if a person has three different conversations with you and all three conversations you do not receive alignment of the 3 steps. Perhaps it is time to think this relationship and the impact it is having on you. In my case putting distance is paramount when experiences like this happen. I can assure you if you continue to have people like this in your life that over time you will lose yourself - that there is no question.
I am not saying these people are bad people it might just be more of a case the different type of energy that is getting exchanged is not in alignment. For your own health and growth to chose to have different type of people in your life that help in building your strong foundation.
You truly are the captain of yourself and you ultimately have to take all the credit for all of your outcomes you experience in life. Just pay attention and heed the light houses that come into your life to direct you away from a unwanted disaster.

The 27th Chapter - Growing Your Spiritual Gift
Oct 22/16
I am thinking of energy and when you are in the energy moment that is the healthy place for you. It will provide you strength. Also people, when you least expect it, are paying attention to you and your energy as well. I would like to share a experience that happened about a year ago. I was walking with a co-worker from a parking lot to our head office. We had to wait at a cross walk for the light to change. As we were waiting a early 30's year old man, with blonde curly hair, blue eyes and a tan long coat walked up to us. As he looked at me, a feeling of recognition came across me, and I could also feel he recognized me. However I know I have never met him before in this life. He looked at my co-worker looked back to me, no words were exchanged but of a moment of recognition and energy. It felt like that brief moment was an invitation but I am unsure of what that invitation was. The light changed and we walked our different directions. After a brief moment had passed I asked my co-worker if they had observed the same thing I just did. The response back was - what are you talking about? I said you didn't see the guy that walked up to us and I describe him. My co-worker said - what guy? I have not fully understood what that moment fully meant, however it has stayed with me for a year.
During the past year I had shut down exploring and growing my spiritual side. I have normally never been able to see spirits and in the past I could only feel them. So because of that experience on the street corner, it had left me of not sure who I saw, until about a week ago. I was in a period of my life of not feeling like I had balance. I had felt I had lost my direction, my stability and my passion. This past Monday I was on my way to work and I realized I forgot my office keys. As I am early to work and most often the door is locked. So I turned around and went home to pick up my key. I knew at that moment that something was going to happen that day that would provide a key to help me find some balance and realigning my energy. That moment of forgetting my key cost me about 15 minutes of time (keep in mind I never forget my office keys) because of that delay in time, I ended up bumping into a couple that I have known for years but have not seen them for over three years. This chance meeting was only because of the 15 minute delay I experienced in the morning.
The conversation started out like the normal, one of meeting up with good friends and catching up however it rapidly it changed to a spiritual recognition. This change in conversation lead me to learn about a whole new side of their life that they shared freely with me. During that moment we shared several different ideas and experiences over the last while, one of them was the experience of the above of the blonde stranger. As I finished the story the husband went out to their vehicle and brought a book. He stated he was carrying around this book for a year and wasn't sure who it was for until now.
As I started reading the book later that night the author describes her experience of meeting a guy that met the description of the blonde stranger at the beginning of this chapter. The thought came to me when you are truly seeking and needing help or direction it will come to you. The harder part is to being open to when life brings you something of value. Also just as important is to have patients with yourself and your journey of life.
For me it took over a year for me to understand what that brief moment meant that took place on a side of a street. I also am fully aware that even now, I do not fully understand that moment, it is truly about understanding a little more at a time. It would be unrealistic to finish a race with one step and this same pattern happens in our life's journey of understanding - it is about taking one step at a time to reach your full knowledge. With each step a little more refined the goal will become - picture an iceberg, where you can only see just a little of the total volume of that ice on the surface. Like this experience just the tip to understood and a beginning of learning. Combined with the realization of fully committing myself to a new journey in my quest.
I have so much more to learn and my hope is by sharing these thoughts with those that have chose to read it - will in turn I hope supports your own new life journey. Your journey is yours and yours alone - to be able to create and feel all the greatness that life has to offer. Keep in mind, like the person training for their marathon, it takes commitment and dedication. Although this task my seem hard or maybe you feel like you could never do whatever journey you are on - You can and the universe will provide you all the strength and energy you need to successfully complete your goals.
The more you align yourself to your surroundings and maintain your balance - this quest will actually feel easy to complete.

The 26th Chapter - The Importance of Time and Increasing Your Value
Oct 16/16
So it has now been a half a month since I published my first blog on chapter 1. These first writings are over a year old and my thoughts turn too the content of this writing. I am reflecting on my confidence of this writing and what is the value add for anyone that might be reading it. My thoughts turn to time and the fact that time is truly a gift I do not want to waste in anyone, like emotional energy, there is only a limited amount available to each and everyone of us.
My thoughts went to a story I read a while ago, I am not sure the author or the origin of the story, so I will paraphrase my memory of it. This story takes place by a ocean, on a beach. The previous night that was a massive storm and during that storm thousands of Starfish are washed up onto the beach from the waves. In the morning, after the storm is over and all is quiet, a man is walking down the beach and notices all of the Starfish covering the beach. He continues walking and after a while he comes across a young boy picking up one Starfish at a time and gently placing them back into the ocean. The man watches the boy for a short while then comments to the young boy - why are you picking up the Starfish and placing them back into the ocean? You can not physically pick up and save all the thousands of Starfish stranded far up on the beach. What difference are you actually making? The young boy quickly responded back with the difference is been made to each and every individual Starfish I save and return to the ocean.
What a fantastic statement and how can you counter that thought to the souls of each Starfish the boy saved that day. As we get older our perception may get clouded on what really is important and this is an example of the same facts of reality and yet how different two people view that reality. The value of our choices are measured each day and from each choice our house of life is getting built. Are we making choices that are making a difference or we making choices that are not? Also are our choices actually taking away or questing people that are making positive choices?
That leads me to my original thought to if this writing is of any value or not to the people that may read this. I have taken comfort in the fact that if this writing helps or makes a positive impact in just one person - then yes there is value. I know my original goal of a venue to provide healing to my emotional self is working. In moments of my discomfort I turn to writing, my wonder of what will be created as pen meets paper truly does excite me each time and the feelings of discomfort slowly start to fade away. The gift of life, the gift to be able to feel, the gift of being able to grow and evolve is truly amazing. What will be the next adventure? Will I be ready for it?
Which leads to some more reflection on time and how brief moments of time of interactions with others or our personal internal triumphs can be so brief, but yet have so much definition of who we think we are are or what others may believe we are. That marathon runner might spend years getting ready for that one race in public. That one event will show to themselves or people watching on the impact of all that struggle and determination that has lead to that event or moment in time. During these moments have you trained enough? Have you put in enough effort for the results you would like to experience? At the completion of whatever that moment maybe for you, will you feel the satisfaction you have truly done your best? Did you return enough Starfish to the ocean? Or do you feel you could have done more? When these brief moments have been completed be mindful of the outcome and feel it. Even if it is not exactly the way you pictured the outcome, take comfort in the fact you have achieved so much and gather strength to the fact you can achieve so much more. Keep in mind the important factor of balance and in the above the story - the one part the man did get right was the fact it was not possible to save all the Starfish. Like in our lives - we can not individually save everything and if we were to try, we would end up hurting ourselves.
Do not let these events in your your like lock you into a past, whether this experience was good or bad, that to stay in the moment as the event is now complete. Learn from these moments and start putting your emotional energy into your next accomplishment. Whether it is a quest for personal growth, relationships or your next promotion. Set yourself clear and concise goals - once that has been complete determine the steps you need to take to achieve that goal and take that first step.
It truly is that easy to achieve whatever it is you want to achieve.

The 25th Chapter - Your Stretch Goal Will Become Your New Normal
Oct 15/16
So I felt the need to write and create something today that has never been created before. (talk about a lofty and stretch goal) However I was not sure of what the topic would be.
As I was walking into a small store to pick up some water and a energy drink, I noticed a small piece of paper laying outside of the store. As I passed by I recognized this piece of paper as a fortune cookie insert. I walked past it and as I was paying, the thought came to me that I had to read it and that fortune was mean't for me to read it. With even more clarity it felt it would be waiting for me to pick it up and read it. As I picked it up, I was worried it might fall apart as it was sitting outside in the snow and rain. As I read it, I was overcome with different thoughts and emotions, ones of feelings of excitement combined with a sense of loss. The sense of loss I think has come from, I have been so used to being un-happy and I am in a struggle of finding my balance. Even though now I am in a happy place, the new normal for me, it was a brief moment of recognizing a past experience in me. It could be compared to somewhat bitter sweet, knowing how much growth I have received and for a brief moment almost sad of the person I used to be. Perhaps a good comparison would be the habit of smoking and knowing it is bad for ones health. As the habit had stopped, still looking back feeling the need for one more smoke - even though knowing that even one is bad for you. The over all quest of people looking for something or someone to fill that void - thinking that maybe one more time and that elusive feeling of being complete will arrive. It would be so comfortable and you know what to expect, its easy to go back into the past pattern of behavior.
What is tougher is staring into the great abyss of the unknown, the start of a new journey or a quest, and to take the first step. As with each passing step it will take you closer to your new experience yet as you go forward, your one step further away from what you know. Picture a almost invisible energy like line tied to you - at the beginning of your journey it is pulling you back a little harder than towards the end of your line that is tied to the completion of your journey. Roughly when your at the half way mark of your journey you will feel a shift of that invisible line providing you energy and start to get easier to complete your journey, as this energy shift is propelling you to the end of your quest.
So it has occurred to me to share what I read from that fortune cookie - "Your greatest wish - you will receive this month" So questions came up - What does that mean? Does it mean something or mean nothing? Was it a clue to my future or was it a clue to my past? The universe telling me to let things be? Or does it simply mean nothing?
So now I am thinking the secret in life and true happiness is to be able to recognize what this gift might be in a month from now and to not come up with ideas of what I think this gift is. The importance of not looking for something I feel the gift should be as if I do that the true gift might sail right by me as I will not be able to recognize it. As the month will go by so quickly and if I do not receive what I think I should have received - it might be possible to start a spiral of self-doubt combined with lower energy level might become a reality. Words or things like blame, resentment, unhappiness may perhaps come into play now.
Like the marathon runner - do not give up with your journey of allowing yourself to be great and being able to experience great things in your life. You are allowed to be happy everyday and experience great things in all that life has to offer. In my past I would feel that when something amazing comes my way I would struggle to accept it. When I would do that - I put out to the universe I am not able to handle the great things that come my way and not have them in my life. When that thought would happen soon the goodness would go away and I would be left with the emptiness and wishing I could have back what I felt I had lost. During these times not realizing it was me creating that reality of not having the greatness in my life. It sometimes felt like my life was a page out of a Shakespearean tragedy and the pattern kept repeating.....Which resulted in me becoming more confused and not understanding why I was not receiving the greatness I felt should be coming my way.
My greatest wish was a simple as reading that fortune cookie and the thoughts it provided me, which I am truly grateful. Key take aways are the importance of staying in the moment, while yet looking briefly to your past, to select your tools of past experience to use them to build towards your perfect future.

The 24th Chapter - Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life
Oct 10/16
My thoughts drift to who I really am as a person. Do you ever feel you wish you could change some of the things you feel are not thought as positive traits? Either thoughts you have of yourself or the feeling that you can pick up from others you interact with? That underlying feeling (although not entirely sure where the specific feeling is coming from) that you feel that something is off or not in alignment. Where does this feeling or energy come from? Is it leftover remnants of energy from past experiences from ones childhood upbringing? Influences of religion? Parents? Teachers?
The feeling of not belonging comes to mind, perhaps the root cause of un-comfortableness, as humans we are social beings and need to feel part of a pack. There might be times that no matter how hard you try to fit in to this pack, sometimes it just does not feel right. When this does happen, What do you do? In previous chapters the concept of the universe will provide you what you need and when you need it has been discussed. So when these feelings of being uncomfortable and not belonging occur, look around and pay attention to what the universe is showing you right now. A key to be able to benefit from this information is to be able to stay in the present moment. Be mindful of looking either forward or back into your future. From this starting point you will be able to grow your internal strength and eventually find the pack that you belong too. Push your boundaries of what you think you can accomplish. When you have those feelings of un-comfortableness try to embrace it as it can be a sign from the universe that you need to grow. Perhaps if you never have that feeling you are not fully living life?
Just recently I connected up with a old man and I noticed in that old man his power to actively listen was impactful to me. Picture a tough, tall, strong man and in about 15 minutes of time, as our conversations progressed, he was talking about his childhood memories and I could feel emotions come up in him. All I did was to extend back his actively listen lesson he just had taught me and listened to him. The gift of sharing is all around you and to accept it and embrace emotions of others as well. These moments will be providing you the keys to unlock your feelings and provide you fuel for your quest. Do not feel guilty if you think you are taking energy from them, as this was a gift that was meant to be given to you. Always be mindful to ensure you communicate energy back to others when they need it. This is a concept if we all practice this daily - it will help with the balance of not only us, but for our community, which of course leads to have global effects. Picture the concept of the butterfly effect or a pebble dropped into a pond. When you are truly actively listening to a person that is giving you their energy - this interaction will be in perfect balance of energy and it will feel right.
At that time I met this older gentleman, I was feeling unsettled, and because of this experience it provided me a calmness. Also the perfect randomness of this experience made a impact to me, for the chances of all our combined choices in life - brought us to that very moment in time. That moment was brief and there is a very high chance I will never see him again. I truly hope I was able to give a small fraction of energy back to him, as he provided me with powerful gifts - the gifts of his time and provided me with the gift of life's fuel.
As I reflected this is another example of life being at balance and the universe will always provide. The importance of always been open and feel that you are worth great things. All of us are born with greatness in us - that is the easy part - the hard part is to allow that greatness to come out. Allow and grow to truly become full adults. It is easy to see physical growth and age in people however just as important is to always grow your inside energy. At first glance you might assume that this physical growth matches the internal growth - however most people struggle with this growth and our greatness may never fully develop.
Everyday I am grateful of the people I meet and their time. Maybe life is not random at all? Complex yes but not random - but yet in complexity is simplicity. Pattern realizations make things simple in life.
My thoughts drift to who I really am as a person. Do you ever feel you wish you could change some of the things you feel are not thought as positive traits? Either thoughts you have of yourself or the feeling that you can pick up from others you interact with? That underlying feeling (although not entirely sure where the specific feeling is coming from) that you feel that something is off or not in alignment. Where does this feeling or energy come from? Is it leftover remnants of energy from past experiences from ones childhood upbringing? Influences of religion? Parents? Teachers?
The feeling of not belonging comes to mind, perhaps the root cause of un-comfortableness, as humans we are social beings and need to feel part of a pack. There might be times that no matter how hard you try to fit in to this pack, sometimes it just does not feel right. When this does happen, What do you do? In previous chapters the concept of the universe will provide you what you need and when you need it has been discussed. So when these feelings of being uncomfortable and not belonging occur, look around and pay attention to what the universe is showing you right now. A key to be able to benefit from this information is to be able to stay in the present moment. Be mindful of looking either forward or back into your future. From this starting point you will be able to grow your internal strength and eventually find the pack that you belong too. Push your boundaries of what you think you can accomplish. When you have those feelings of un-comfortableness try to embrace it as it can be a sign from the universe that you need to grow. Perhaps if you never have that feeling you are not fully living life?
Just recently I connected up with a old man and I noticed in that old man his power to actively listen was impactful to me. Picture a tough, tall, strong man and in about 15 minutes of time, as our conversations progressed, he was talking about his childhood memories and I could feel emotions come up in him. All I did was to extend back his actively listen lesson he just had taught me and listened to him. The gift of sharing is all around you and to accept it and embrace emotions of others as well. These moments will be providing you the keys to unlock your feelings and provide you fuel for your quest. Do not feel guilty if you think you are taking energy from them, as this was a gift that was meant to be given to you. Always be mindful to ensure you communicate energy back to others when they need it. This is a concept if we all practice this daily - it will help with the balance of not only us, but for our community, which of course leads to have global effects. Picture the concept of the butterfly effect or a pebble dropped into a pond. When you are truly actively listening to a person that is giving you their energy - this interaction will be in perfect balance of energy and it will feel right.
At that time I met this older gentleman, I was feeling unsettled, and because of this experience it provided me a calmness. Also the perfect randomness of this experience made a impact to me, for the chances of all our combined choices in life - brought us to that very moment in time. That moment was brief and there is a very high chance I will never see him again. I truly hope I was able to give a small fraction of energy back to him, as he provided me with powerful gifts - the gifts of his time and provided me with the gift of life's fuel.
