Giving Back

-

There are certain things I’m starting to experience, rather then just reading or hearing about, where I can finally say I believe that when you give to the universe, the universe finds ways to give back to you…

When reading one of my books by Steven Covey, I came across this, “Service is the rent we pay to live here on Earth,” I had thought the idea sounded nice and hoped that actually following through with it would feel just as good – I was wrong, it feels even better.

I feel like when I take the time to care about other people - people I don’t know and will never meet, there is a special feeling you receive for putting some good out there for a piece of the world to have.  All I can say is, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so grateful to know that I’m helping someone else.

Goodbye, Butterflies

-
Do you remember the days when liking someone was just enough?  For some, it didn't matter how they treated you, what kind of attention the gave or didn't give to you, whether or not they had goals, who their friends were, how they got along with their family, if they were reliable, responsible, and whether or not they would make a good father... or mother. When I was in high school, I chose the boys who were cute because they gave me "butterflies"; up into my mid-twenty's I chose the guys who had a nice face, muscular body, and who knew how to have fun because they gave me excitement...and you know what that got me? A LOT of good pictures LOL! J/K :-) No...but seriously, I was shallow, but then again can we really help who we are attracted to and how they make us feel?  Nevertheless, I found that its not about choosing the guy because of who he is, how he is, or how "excited" he makes you feel - its about choosing for you . As the years go by, we s...

The Law of Love

-
I remember once there was this guy I dated and I have to be honest…he was an attractive guy and fun to hangout with, but I automatically knew I could never see myself with him in my future.   Now I look back and ask myself why? I mean, how could that be if I never gave him a chance?   Truth be told, I didn’t want to give him a chance, but only because I knew in my heart it could never be.   Is that something a person automatically knows?   It must be…could it be that –that was one of Gods gifts he gave to us?   An unknown, somewhat psychic ability to determine if someone is right for us, whether we know them or not? All I can say is, I too, have been in his shoes before just as many others have and its not a great feeling knowing someone automatically knows they can’t see themselves with you – it doesn’t even have to do with you liking the person, but it has to do with you being rejected.   The let down is in hearing that you can never be that “specia...

Sometimes Things Are Meant to Be Left Behind

"When you focus on what's missing, it's hard to see what's there." - Emily P. Freeman Have you read the book, The Next Right Thing, by Emily P. Freeman? I was looking through book reviews on Amazon in hopes to find a book that would help me with making a decision about something I am confused about. Have you ever been so focused on a career goal (for so long) that it is possible you either 1) lost who you are in the process or 2) started to wonder if maybe your goals need to adjust and accommodate to your current life circumstances? Well.... I will say that Emily's perspectives are helping me eliminate the fogginess I have pertaining to career aspirations, but more importantly, it is also helping me ease the guilt of feeling confused. She's helping me feel okay about telling myself, "Maybe you just don't have the same career goals anymore, and there is nothing wrong with that." I am discovering that sometimes we think we are lea...
