Attitude

James Van Praagh (Photo credit: ALA - The American Library Association)

Attitude is vastly important because it presents your image to the world and is the driving force behind behaviour  Your attitude influences your world and everything you do in it. It defines the energy you send out and, in turn, takes shape and colour in your circumstances. If you have a positive attitude, you are more welcoming and people are drawn to you.

A positive attitude opens you to the flow of life. If you are depressed, angry, and unhappy, no one wants to be around you. You literally push people and opportunities away.

To attract positive, joyful, and prosperous situations to you, you must be that way yourself. If you have an open, loving, positive attitude, anything burdensome in life can be lightened. Therefore, it is important to be aware of your mood. It is created by your thoughts. Every day you have a choice of how you will behave, the mood you will give out to the world, and how you want people to know you.

So if you want something in your life, first you must think of it, put your intention behind it, and keep your focus on it. It is almost like baking a cake. The thought is in the oven and you have to keep it baking with belief. You have to see your thought manifesting and becoming real.

Follow your heart and be true to yourself. Never live the life of another. You have to create your own road. You have a responsibility to be the best you can possibly be, so keep your mind and heart open to the higher aspects of your being. And you will harness the power to have a loving and fulfilling life with attitude!

Deepest Fear

A Return to Love (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." 

~ Marianne Williamson, from Return to Love

My Way

And now the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

My friend I'll say it clear

I'll state my case of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

I traveled each and every highway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few

But then again too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all

And I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

And now as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say not in a shy way

Oh no, oh no, not me

I did it my way

For what is a man what has he got

If not himself then he has not

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way

~ Frank Sinarta ~ Song lyrics ~

FIREHEART

Why fly from the dreams

Where the oceans laugh,

And the diamond nighted whisper

Sweeps fire to your heart.

Why drown yourself in fleshed

Decadence of carnal desires

To cleanse the tears of forsaken

Love in minds past.

Why chase the wind

And mock the rain

Why dance with the devil

Of emotioned moonlight.

Why gallop to gunshot

Pleasure derived in functional

Lusted physical attraction.

Why laugh at the ships

That jest for your nights

For your soul means to love

To cherish, to weep, to falter

To forsake, to feel to touch

The lady of the fire heart
