affirmations........

When I was first introduced to idea of using affirmations to make my dreams come true, it sounded so simple.


All I had to do was consistently, parrot fashion, repeat a phrase which would magically make my life one worth living.


That simple, huh?


No.

Not really. Nothing much changed.

Then I was told that saying things like ~'all is well'~ meant that obviously all was not well and that by saying that it was well, was highlighting the lack of all-well-ness.



Mmmm - not simple at all. Complicated.




Then along came a new (to me) way of thinking.

Still using pretty much the same affirmations, but using them differently.


All is well in my world - and meaning it when I said it. Believing it and knowing it and trusting it and living it and allowing myself to see it and allowing others to see it.

Then I understood the difference.

We have all gone along to theatres to watch stage shows, or watched children in a school play, or sat in front of the television, watching whatever is being broadcast.

There is nothing more tedious than watching a wooden, unskilled person delivering lines directly from the script.

There is nothing more moving than an actor - an ACTOR - presenting his part according to the script - and taking you from laughter, to woe, to despair, to joy, to exhiliration as you watch him perform.

There is the difference. The actor gets you involved. Gets you feeling real emotions. Has you believing what you are watching.

That is how affirmations work. When, despite knowing 'what is', you believe the new image you are presenting to your brain. Despite the challenges you currently face, you KNOW that you are moving into the dream you are dreaming. FEELING the joy in the image you hold. KNOWING what it is like to love, to be loved, to be in awe of beauty and surrounded by abundance.

Get involved in your affirmations. Move yourself into that place of wonder and awe and excitement and joy about what you are creating for yourself.

Then watch the magic begin..........


and then share it with me, please.

True friends

Friends are those people who help us to unlock the power within us.

We may think that they are our strength - and perhaps for short periods of time, they are.

True friends are the ones who allow us to stand on our own two feet - and to lean on them when we are feeling less-than-strong.

They are the ones who love to see us succeed.

They are the ones who cheer every step we take.

They are the ones who stand by with the 'first-aid kit' when we travel down roads that challenge us and perhaps cause us heartache.

They celebrate us. They celebrate the friendship.

I salute my true friends.

I am all the better for knowing you and having you in my life.

Being complete

I want him to love me

I want him to need me

I want this to be different

I want to feel loved

I want to feel appreciated



YOU WANT WHAT??????

He fulfills me

He makes my life worth living

He is so awesome

He needs me to rescue him

He looks so hurt and sad and lost


STOP IT!



What kind of relationship will you have when it starts out with one of you thinking that the other needs rescuing, or fixing, or fulfilling ( in the sense that the person is incomplete without the other )

Where does that relationship then go? Once the other is fixed, rescued, completed....what then?

Let them go.

Start an awesome relationship - with yourSelf.

Love your Self

Fulfill your Self

And when you have done that ~ when you do not need  to be

Rescued

Fixed

Fulfilled

When you love the completeness of Who You Are -

Thats when you let someone in.

And then you grow together.

In Love

In Completeness

In Unison

Now, doesn't that sound like so much more fun?
