Living the Life of Your Dreams

I found this article today online and thought I’d pass it along. It’s from a wonderful websight called Daily Om.
Many of us are familiar with the experience of waking up to the fact that our lives are no longer working the way we have set them up. Sometimes this is due to a shift occurring inside ourselves over time, and sometimes it is part of the larger shift that is currently affecting all humanity. Change is happening at such an increased rate that it is difficult to predict what the future holds. As a result, many of the old ways of planning out a life are no longer applicable, and if we cling to them we feel strangely out of tune with reality. If we are in tune with the energies around us, we will begin to question ideas that just a few years ago seemed sensible.
In the simplest terms, the shift we are undergoing right now has to do with recognizing ourselves as being more than human, remembering that our earthly aspects are a very small part of who we are. In truth, we are multidimensional beings. When we begin to realize this, the life we planned for a limited conception of ourselves no longer fits. We must meet the needs and qualifications not only of our bodies but also of our souls. This realization dawns slowly for some and with the suddenness of a bolt of lightning for others, and we all must find the way that works for us to integrate this new and larger sense of self into our life plan.
Sometimes a drastic change feels totally right, and overnight we might decide to sell our home and move to another country or quit our job and begin a second career. Other times, we allow the changes to proceed slowly, beginning perhaps with allowing ourselves to dream of a new life or just to ask the deeper questions that encourage us to discover our true purpose in life. Either way, know that this process is a natural sign of the growth we are all going through, and trust it to guide you to the life of your dreams.
Sometimes the life we planned for a limited conception of ourselves no longer fits as we evolve and change.”

Would You Walk Away?

I used to think that walking away from a relationship was wrong, and since there was so much time invested in it, working on the issues was worth the effort. It’s like leaving the dirty dishes in the sink all night and wondering why they’re still there in the morning. You haven’t addressed the issues that are really important to you!
We women are eternal optimists when it comes to bonding with our partners. We see the possible future, our mates see the possible present. What is it about time and change that brings a different perspective to the union we’ve made? Living with someone is not the easiest thing in the world to master, even if your honey bun is the perfect match. Something always crawls out of the woodwork of love.
Love is the catalyst to our soul’s desire to be connected to someone in this world. Love is pure and beautiful, and without love, life loses it’s luster. But then, there are those moments in a relationship when you’re watching your mate lose his temper over the football game or decides to go on a ‘man trip’ without you. What happened to the days when you were the center of his universe? Well, nothing really. It’s just that life settled into a more practical state of mind for the both of you. Let’s face it, keeping up all that impressive behavior in the beginning of a relationship for an extended period of time is just, well, tiring!
Coming out of the Shadow – Standing in Your Power

Bringing peace of mind to your life is the most important thing you can do for yourself! When you uncover hidden obstacles and discover how you may be self-sabotaging your efforts, you will find there is an easier way to live. Listed below are a few insights and guidelines for you to consider:
1) Meditate. Find a quiet spot and find the time to just sit with yourself . Go deep inside your mind, quiet the chatter and reach for the person you know you are. Ask for guidance to help you experience and feel your true spirit.
2) Ask for help. Sometimes people close to us that we trust and love can help us find our way back to our whole, true self. Ask someone you feel will tell you the truth about what they see in you, your good qualities, your talents, and even your obstacles as they see it. When there is new set of eyes looking at our situation, it helps to get perspective and gives us the insight to move in the direction we want for ourselves.
There is an easier way to live

Have you wondered why your life is not moving in the direction you want? Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily life we forget to look at what’s really important each day, each minute, and in each task we do. Life seems to come at us at warp speed and there is no time for ourselves.
There is an easier way to live! Identifying the factors that make your life what it is will help you decide. It is crucial to changing your focus. What we focus on, we get. When you focus on busy tasks and ‘to do’ lists, you get more of the same.
It’s time to take inventory of your life’s lessons so you can move on from the past and create a future that truly reflects who you are. Today, why don’t you focus on the things you want most in your life? Take 15 minutes to sit and reflect on those things that are most important to you. It could be a new career, a new relationship, a new hobby, or a new place to live. It might even be more time for yourself!

You Gotta Be Real! Really!

How many times have you asked someone, “Hey, how’s it going?” only to be barraged with all the woes and cares and problems they have. More information than you bargained for? Really, do you want to know someone’s worst day scenario, or are you just being polite?
Most of us are truly caring people, but we’re not in the counseling business. What we really want is to show our concern. And have a nice day. But there are those among us who do need a sympathetic ear, someone to lean on from time to time. Are you one of those people?
Learn To Change Yourself

When we learn to change our selves, through love, integrity and acceptance, we begin to add value to our own personal selves. And when we add value to our personal selves, we now have something to give others. We cannot give what we don’t have; that includes a strong character. So rather than trying to change the world first, begin changing from within first. Change for the world will automatically happen.
Don’t wait for life to happen. Make it happen. Do it now. The power of choice is yours!
You have a choice on who you want to be and how you want to feel.
When is your now?
“Begin doing what you want to do now. We have only this moment sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake-” M. Beyon Ray
