Hello!

How often do you use the word “try”? If you are like most of us —you use it often. It is very often the default response when we are not quite sure whether we really want to do something. It can also come about when we have some doubt as to whether it will work. “Try” may feel safe to us.

Basically by “trying”—we release our responsibility. Oh boy—the bottom line is that this will not get us what we so desire in our lives. It will get us just exactly what we are stating. It will get us a whole lot of trying. It will not get the results. Sometimes we can get quite elegant in our trying. The truth is –it is still just trying.

Remember your words are powerful. Your words send a direct message to you unconscious mind. Your unconscious mind is the Captain of your ship. The Captain wild follow your directions. It does not judge what you tell it, it only follows your commands, not some of them, ALL of them! WHOA! Think about that. I know you know what that means!

Okay—lets have some fun right now! I want you all right now to TRY to read whit I am writing. I want you to try really heard to read these next words—Ok—here it is—the words are -ACTION IS THE KEY.. Did you try really hard, I mean extra hard to read that word? Come on– I am serious about this. If any of you actually read those four words, then BRAVO—you will not get the trying award for today. If any of you actually di not read all four of those words, then I applaud you for being successful in the trying department. The thing is that now you do not know the secret to success, because you were so busy trying!

Our faithful Star Wars friend Yoda says: “Do or do not, there is no try”.
Simple, straightforward and powerful.

I beckon you to take notice of the use of the word “try” in your daily life. Have some fun with it—no judgment. Just notice.

Hooray for you—just by dong that you are already in action mode!

Cheers for now—I am off into action!

How To Make Friends That Will Bring Passion Into Your Life?????

It’s great to have goals in life and know where you’re going. It’s even WAY better if you’re passionate about it, and get energized by it everyday!!

But being driven by your passions can feel lonely sometimes. 🙁 …………………………

BUT wait—-read on…………………….

Ideally, what would really make you happy, is having friends and people who are as passionate as you are, or more!

Or at least, have friends you can talk to about your passions, without feeling like you’re too different…Cheers to that one!

You could share your fears and hesitations with these people. Being driven involves taking risks. You need some support from people who can understand you. And ultimately, you’d be able to share your success with these great friends.

 I want to share with you some simple tips to meet and make friends with such people.

YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO KEEP A CONVERSATION GOING!!

 
Holding conversations is very important because it’s the first step in meeting new people. It determines if you’re going to get to know them… or not. If you know how to do it, you’ll get a chance on discovering the people you meet. And that first communication will allow you to know if they are the kind of person that will understand you, be your friend, go out with you, have fun, and go on adventures together.
If you don’t know how to do it, you’re really going to miss out on making friends with great people. Even if you meet them, you won’t be able to create a connection, and keep in touch.

Ready for the HOW???

Tip #1: No Pressure !

Stop the self-consciousness. That’s key.
In fact, the number one thing that makes us run out of things to say is we put too much pressure on ourselves.
We often try to only say what sounds cool, interesting or impressive. You have to realize that as soon as you ask yourself “is what I’m about to say cool enough?”… You get in your head… and create an awkward silence.
Avoid that altogether. Try talking about anything that goes in your mind, I think you’ll get surprised at how well people respond to that.

Tip #2: The “Interesting-Tell-Me-More” technique
This is an universal technique that ALWAYS works.
People like to talk and be listened to. And they especially love to talk about themselves. If someone starts to talk, ask them to tell you MORE! Most importantly, show that you’re interested. If you have to, raise your eyebrows a little and smile – that’s a non-verbal invitation for the other person to keep talking.
 

Tip #3: Focus on your hobbies and interests
When you meet people that like what you like, it’s easy to keep in touch and make friends. BJT WHERE DO YOUR FIND THEM??? They are out there! You can find such people in specialized internet forums, or specialized events around the hobby or subject. Seek and you shall find!

Tip#4: Meet people who are already looking for friends
Instead of going and trying to make friends with people who already have lots of people in their lives, go to people who are also looking for friends. These can be people who just came to the city or people who go to meetups. This is a GREAT way to start meeting people that are open-minded enough to share your passions with. I know someone who joined a fundraiser group and knew no one–and met her next best friend there!

Take the risk—don’t wait until you have have someone to go out with —waiting never works—seize the day and go for it!

Remember nothing risked —nothing gained!

 YOUR FRIENDS ARE WAITING FOR YOU!!

Hello—

Here is an interesting thought for you today…………………

What if instead of—— “fretting repeatedly”

You——“EXPECTED repeatedly”

The bottom line is—-you GET what you focus on. PERIOD.

EXPECT that which you want…REPEATEDLY!!

Have fun and be lighthearted with it and remember —Do NOT try to figure out how it wil come!

(Hint—It pushes it away) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Monday!!

Here’s a fabulous quote for today!!

THEN LIFE WOULD BEGIN

 “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin — real life.

 But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.

 Then life would begin.

 At last it dawned on me that these obstacles WERE my life.”

 ~ Father Alfred D’Souza

OHHH BOY!!

 How many times have you thought —Oh yes…I will…. when…..I am ….it is…..you will….they will…..

Then with full resolute—you are sure that just as soon as you figure…it……out….then you WILL! FOR SURE—and yet………….you still …………………….wait…………

The time is NOW—and YOU ARE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT!!

Where are you going??

Until the next time…..Gail

Hello again!

A worthy wisdom tip for you today!

“IF YOU ALWAYS THINK”If you always think what you’ve always thought,
you’ll always feel the way you’ve always felt.The Law of Attraction is basically  about our personal point of attraction or our vibration.

If you always feel the way you’ve always felt,
you’ll always do what you’ve always done.

If you always do what you’ve always done,
you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.

If you always get what you’ve always gotten,
you’ll always think what you’ve always thought.

~ Unknown

Okay—so it may be  hard to imagine that human beings have a vibration however, our body is as much of an electromagnetic system, as it is a chemical one.

Do you know that our electrical circuitry consists of our nervous system and our subtle energy or meridian system?
The Chinese have known about this ‘other’ system for thousands and thousands of years!

We here in the Western World, are just beginning to learn about how the condition of our electrical system affects our health, happiness and quality of life.

From my studies of the Law of Attraction, here’s what I believe contributes to our vibration.

VIBRATION = FOCUS  + THOUGHT + FEELING

Now–remember that on many occasions I speak about our FEELING and how it is our feelings that always rule over fact–and it is our feelings that will ultimately attract the like…..yes..this is 100% true!!!!

OK—back to vibration—Our vibration varies from low to high based on what we focus our attention on — plus what we think
about what we are focusing on —  plus how this subject makes us feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel.

Basically, this describes the glass half full (higher vibration) vs the glass half empty (lower vibration) opposing points of view. Same glass, same water but two different perceptions. Same subject and two individuals could have two totally different thoughts, feelings
and perceptions about it.

This is  in line with what I wrote above— ‘If You Always Think’. If we fail to make a conscious effort to think AND feel in new and more positive ways, we will continue to get what we’ve always gotten, attracted or drawn into our life. We’ve probably all known at least
one person who keeps repeating the same patterns, experiences over and over again! 

If we think we will always be in debt, we will. If we think we will never find our beloved, we won’t. If we think we are destined to develop the same disease that our parent or grandparent had, we will. If we think that everything always works out for me, it will. If we think that I always date great and generous people we will. If we think we always have fun, we will! This IS the Law of Attraction in action! Yup–you bet it is!

What to do??

NOTICE WHAT YOU ARE FOCUSING ON, THINKING AND FEELING!!

If you want to change your focus……………………………..

Close your eyes—take TWO BIG deep breaths and be playful and have fun changing your thoughts…..just like when you were a little kid at Christmas and you imagined what Christmas morning would be like……………………..

Yessssssssssssssss…that’s right….just …like …..that…………………..

Here’s to you wisely using the wisdom of the day!
