"Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling?" 

~M.C. Escher

I firmly believe that life is what you make of it and the situations that you stumble upon onyour path.  There comes a point in life, at I'm not entirely sure it can be pinpointed, when you realize that all you need is a few really, really, amazing and fabulous friends in your life.  It is almost always at that point when you also stop drawing over-dramatic people and situations into your life, or at least you want to stop. 

I hear people complain all the time about how life is hard, things are never easy for them, they wish they could just get a break. If you are one of those people, then I'm glad you are reading this.  Here's a little secret ... it doesn't have to be that way.  The laws of attraction are at work for you, you get what you put out to the universe.  Negative thoughts are your enemy, by negative I don't mean thoughts where you are constantly thinking someone needs to die, I mean that in which you have a negative basis to your thought.  For example, you start feeling a bit run down and your first thought it is "Oh great, I better not be getting sick!" You don't even realize it but you have just put a negative spin on your thought.  Your thoughts should immediately go towards what you want ... in a positive way.   By saying "I better not be getting sick" you are actually sending out to the universe "I want to be sick".  Still with me?  Good.  Try this instead: "I want to be healthy. I have this party to go to this weekend and I want to be able to make it."  Now, go drink your 4 gallons of orange juice, take your Airborne tablets, get as much rest as you want ... just the same as you would have with your first thought, and chances are, if you believe that you want to be healthy and  you aren't just saying it, you will not end up with that 3 month long cold that you get every winter.  

The point is, you have to put your thoughts on positive.  All of them.  When you start to have a thought, consciously stop and think about what you are saying or thinking, then find a way to put it in a positive manner.  Then WORK for it.  Nothing is ever just handed to us, we all have to work for what we want, it's just a matter of how many road blocks you are setting up for yourself by your own thoughts.

The concept of the laws of attraction is not a difficult one to understand, it is, however, not always easy to put into practice unless you are making a conscious effort at it.  You can free yourself from the gates you are gnawing at ... give it a try.  Get a life coach, talk to the experts on the laws of attraction, do yoga, start meditating ... anything to put yourself in a better frame of mind about what life can offer you.  You won't be sorry. I can guarantee that.

Quote of the day ... Oct. 11, 2012

"Choices are the hinges of destiny."

~Pythagoras

You have choices. Every day, many a choice are placed in front of you to decide upon. Even when you choose to not make a choice, you are, in fact, making a decision.  The choices you make ultimately affect the overall outcome of your life. They lead you down one to path, then another, and another, until, eventually, you end up at that pivotal fork in the road that most people dread.

It is here, at this fork in the road, where you have either learned from the lesson that had been presented to you and you turn left where a new lesson will be presented to you, or you turn right, again, only to be faced with the same trials and tribulations of an unlearned lesson.  

The choices you make are what make you who you are. They are what others look at to make the judgement on you.  Your choices build your character, even if you don't intend on it.  Be the person you want others to know you as and the choices you make will always reflect the best of you.

"You haven't seen a tree until you've seen 

its shadow from the sky."

~Amelia Earhart

Ever feel like you've all of a sudden been escalated to Cloud Nine? That feeling of pure euphoria, like nothing can bring you down?  If you have that feeling now then you are probably constantly smiling, having positive thoughts and have a little bit of pep to your step.  

Being on Cloud Nine does not have to mean you are delusional or unrealistic.  It just means that you have gotten rid of most, if not all, that causes you discomfort and stress.  It means that you have been able to step back from your own situation and see it from a different vantage point.  

I have recently been thrown up on Cloud Nine, without so much as a blink of an eye and *poof*, there I was. Just when I thought it to be impossible, reality hit me. HARD. I have gotten everything I have asked for this year, perhaps even a bit more, but when you stop to look at things from a completely different vantage point, the euphoria of life is right there, within your reach. 

What would you do differently to have that feeling of being on Cloud Nine? Would you be willing to take every risk put in front of you, accept the change when it presents itself and soar through the clouds?  

That whisper you are hearing, from your gut, telling you yes .... listen to it. Go do it.

"After all is said and done, a lot more 

will have been said than done."

~Author Unknown

Do actions speak louder then words? I believe the answer is yes.  When someone says they will do something, we all carry a small shred of doubt until the action is completed.  The biggest fallacy I've ever heard is "If you need ANYTHING, please let me know."  How often do you say this and hope and pray the person never cashes in?  I make it a point to never say this unless I fully intend on keeping my end of the bargain.  I mean, let's face it, there are some people, that, even tho you feel bad for the situation they are involved in, you honestly just do not want to have any part of.  If this is the case, why offer yourself as a strength? I find it better to simply offer your condolences and move on.  

When you do offer yourself as a strength in any given situation be sure you have committed yourself 110%.  Only by doing will you be trusted as someone who stands by their words.   

Think about it, how many people in your life would you absolutely put everything else aside and be there 110%.  Kind of puts things into perspective when you really think about who you'd really be that person for, and chances are, those select few would also be there for you in a time of need.

Open your heart and receive the love that surrounds you, and give it to those who truly deserve it.
