Word of the Week

I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”

understanding, temerity,

is why I love you.”

All is not Bliss


I have been thinking about all I have written over the past few years.  The impression it may leave the reader about my personal life. Perhaps the reader believes because I understand and practice what I write about, all is bliss. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just as all who read and follow this blog, I have challenges. Sometimes it feels like more than my share. I do accept full responsibility for them, am grateful for them, and the lessons they provide. I realize I have created each and every one of my challenges through the thought choices I have made surrounding each circumstance.
 
I, in fact, have created quite a hole for myself to rise out of. Rise I will. However, even though I understand all is temporary, doesn’t mean every moment is bliss. In fact, my current experience could be viewed as quite miserable should I allow it to be. It would not be an exaggeration to state that many have chosen to terminate under similar environments. I understand there are certain consequences to the actions I have taken over the past while as I progress through a new learning curve raising my level of vibrational frequency. I also understand that first and foremost, success, in any endeavor, circumstance, or environment, is a positive mental attitude.
Quite often we experience what could be misinterpreted as retracting, and could well be our result, should we choose that to be our belief and focus. In moving forward we are often required to release many current manifestations. Some that may be very dear to us. This can play havoc with the ego, (yours and those around you), which will resist change, fighting tooth and nail to avoid having to redefine who it believes you to be. During these times it is very important to understand and apply the Law of non-resistance and the Art of Allowing, with faith and gratitude. We must trust that all has positive purpose for those who believe the Power of Intention and Universal Principles despite the current appearance of things.
To many it may appear as though I have sacrificed much for little gain. This appearance shall remain until such time as I have learned the lessons necessary to experience a higher level of frequency no longer able to attract those things that exist at my current vibration.
So, no, all is not bliss for me. Not that it couldn’t or shouldn’t be. If I were a quick study, able to transition my experience effortlessly as intended, all would be bliss. Just like so many of us, I tend to choose the school of hard knocks more often than not.
In breaking any cycle that binds you to present circumstance a new direction of thought is required, not associated with past experience that led to present circumstance.
True thought, leading to change, must precede desired circumstance.

Always Forward!!!

My mission - purpose – is to assist others in achieving a higher quality of life and understanding - realizing their power and purpose in life through gaining clarity of thought and definiteness of purpose.
