Life flows like a song with, energy, vibration waves of sound… and like a song it has many parts. If you focus on the part of the piano, drums, or just the vocals  you miss the flow, you miss the message of the sound together as a whole.

Think of your song as thoughts

Sometime the song / thought makes you happy, and some days may trigger a memory that makes you sad . The good news is just by changing your thought you change your song Don’t play the same song that brings you down over and over. Let go of that song, the old love song that makes you sad. Let go of those songs.

The first time you hear a new song of course, it’s unfamiliar to you, you’re not sure if you’re going to like it, but then suddenly it’s your new favorite song, you can’t wait to hear it, you listen to it over and over again so  choose the songs that make you feel good.
let your day flow…like a song and make it a song that makes everyone around you feel good, a song that makes them want to sing along. Don’t make your song so serious that when you sing out of key you forget to laugh. As you go through your day let the song of your life flow, and remember if you don’t like the song your life is playing, change the song !

Our songs won’t always be happy songs…

Is happiness something we all want all the time? when we open a gift we might show excitement,  joy, and happiness. But going  around everyday like that?. That would really annoy everyone around you. You know that person… that’s so happy you want to hit him.
Sometimes life is like opening a gift, and sometimes like getting your car towed. The trick is not to let, getting your car towed,  upset you so much you miss the gift.  So good song, bad song, sad song. If you resist the rhythm!  your song will be distorted .

Simply go with the flow let your song play, sing along, or just change the song

At First Sight

At First Sight

When an infant is born we do everything for them of coarse they have no skills yet they know only to cry out for help but as they get a little older and start to reach out its important that we don’t help so much we let them challenge their self, you may think they are struggling to reach a toy but look closer they are wiggling, grunting, but not crying out for help. Its the parents that moves the toy closer for them taking away the challenge, no one wants to win a game because someone let them win . By doing this the child learns a new challenge and that’s to get you to do it for them .

With this being the child’s experience they may become the small child stomping their feet demanding their parents to give them what they want. This creates a faults sense of self  the ego, with the ego saying  “yes I need help here, how dare you not give me what I need” I can’t do this on my own” and the parent’s ego agrees, “yes I should do everything for this child, This child is my child… different from your child !”. And the ego is passed down like a bad gene.

We start to compare our parenting skills to our own parents;  The ego tells us ” My parents didn’t ever help me, I had it tough,  if my parents had stayed together, if my parents loved me more.”, and your ego tells you yes’,” I’m a better parent then my parents were”.

Most of us were un- taught to be present held captive by our parents ego, brain washed and given an ego of our own .  and some may never get back to presence, until they are close to death. They say that most kids by age 8 have already developed the ego, and lost their awareness of the now, they no longer look at the world the same; they may start to judge, and label. They start to develop their stories; “I shouldn’t be treated like this, she is ugly, I am ugly, I need, I don’t have, I want, they don’t like me, I am this way because…. , I have a rights!… I have an illness, my parents are divorced,  it’s my teachers fault, I am better then you”.

We came in this world in the NOW and will leave in the NOW

Imagine seeing life with such presence, it’s like seeing everything for the first time but with the practical knowledge needed to function.

Being focused makes people feel alive it brings them peace, everything starts to align in their life It’s almost magic, we suddenly know what to do, where to go, and life starts to line up for you.

Without focus, without being conscious, we never fully become ourselves. The Bible says an eye for an eye, which means what you put out you get back, negative energy out, negative results back.

Thinking is energy , positive thinking leads to positive results, but above thinking is a place where awareness live’s   A place where the  false self/ ego  cannot survive. This is the place where we find peace and comfort. this place is ” NOW” A place we are born with the  knowledge of but most have lost sight of .

Life Is A Paradox

Life is a paradox 

Living without the ego 

 

We sometimes need to be blind to see, to live is to know death, to be in control of your life is to let life be as it is, to win the fight is to surrender, to listen so carefully, so intentional, you can feel the sound, that! is to truly hear. When you let life flow… you let amazing things happen, Life has no social status, anyone can see the sound, and anyone can find the question to the answer, complicated but is so simple.

 Life struggles are easy without ego.  Things we achieve without ego are the only things that will make us truly happy.

 

When we learn that… and that is a hard one to learn, we will learn true gratitude, appreciation for life, and with that gratitude and appreciation we long to give, and with longing  to give we can learn to receive with grace.

Knowing… we’ll always have enough,  no fear of abandonment, frustration, no worry of losing.

Tomorrow never comes… when you wake up its going to still be today! enjoy the journey
