Become The Story You Create

Cabbage: A Natural Mandala

Today I was doing my morning reading of the New York Times when an article by Judith Warner caught my eye that reminded me of a conversation that I was just having with a friend about her daughters and her inability to keep their problems from becoming hers. I ran across this jewel that I think has a wonderful message for us all today:

“We fuse with the words we use,” the psychologist Keith Saylor told me last week. “We become the story we create. And there’s a story being created about who your child is.”

Of course Dr. Saylor was talking about our relationships with our children but the same principle applies to how we think about ourselves and our lives and what we manifest or create in our daily lives.

I am grateful that I can now manifest and create wonderful things in my own life and that I choose to create love, peace, beauty, wisdom and understanding in my world.

The Worst or Best 8 Weeks of My Life

8 Weeks

8 Weeks

Recently a friend of mine has been struggling with unemployment after his company lost its biggest customer and he was forced to go to work for someone else. I have been helping him with his resume and with setting up an email account. One day as he was leaving the house he was telling me about the temporary job that he was starting for the next eight weeks and he said “I just know this is going to be the worst 8 weeks of my life.” To which I responded that with that attitude he was making sure that it would turn out that way. This is just how we screw up the opportunities that life gives us by not being appreciative of what we have now, that just might lead us onto better things. I encouraged him to think about the whole situation a little more positively and it did help him get some money to get to the next step.

Study in Gray, Black and White (and rust)

Recently one of my blog members, Paul/Pacmac stated:

I have come to believe that just thinking or focusing on what is good or beautiful is no different than focusing on what is bad or ugly.

That is fine, but how is one to keep oneself out of depression with that frame of mind? If we follow that line of thinking then, there is nothing depressing or bad about depression.

I don’t think I can live that way. You can read more of our discussion that started on the usefulness of Deepak Chopras work in dealing with depression.
