True Self Esteem Revised

True Self EsteemI learn, grow and receive guidance and correction from just about every interaction I have with other beings. It is possible to get to a state of awareness that this constantly occurs. This is not a destination. It is a journey that continues to improve and reinforce daily. In this article, I will outline some of the greatest hurdles I had to jump to get to a state of mind where this began.The process that brought me to this state of awareness is not necessarily going to be the…See More

Can I comment to my own blog? GRIN   It is definitely a truth for me. Perhaps it is not universal. To presume something that is right for me is also right for others is stretching things.  Universal Truth (capitol T),…

Affirmation for increase

Are your affirmations coming true?I think what we are asking for is the issue some time. At least for me this is true. When the second list was my focus no manner of affirmation brought it to me.Now that the first list has been my focus for some time, I have some of the second list and can see the others on the possibly developing.Perhaps what is working for me is a universal truth?  What do you think?What I want:1) A safe clean place to live and work.2) Healthy living food and water in my…See More

About Me
I am a spiritual being on a temporary human journey.

I am a fun free spirit, very easy going and lighthearted, idealistic, romantic affectionate and passionate. I love to laugh and have fun. I specially love live music, dancing and playing my guitar. I love to cook and eat healthy. I enjoy sharing thoughts with others.

I claim NO association or membership with ANY religious organization or faith systems. All GOOD is of GOD!(Universe, Origin, Allah, Supreme Being, call it what you want I choose to use the word God.) God is to BIG for one Religion! My GOD moves me from within and guides me, I choose to glean MY truth from ALL religions and LIFE its self, filtering their teachings through my spiritual self, the Divine spark within. (Christians call it the holy spirit.) I respect and love all of creation.

My purpose in this life, in this body, here now, first and foremost, is to serve God's will and serve, guide, love and teach others as well as receiving all these things from them. I do what I must to earn my living and take much pleasure in caring my mind, body and spirit.

I always do my best , even when my best is not very good it is MY best.

Nothing can ever steal my happiness and peace which is rooted in my spiritual relationship with God. Of course, at times, the harshness of this reality is taxing. When these times come on I work diligently to learn and grow through them. When something is stolen you no longer have it! It is completely gone. That could never happen regarding my spiritual belief’s. This peace and focus is not something I do. It is a gift that stems from the spirit within that is connected to the universal mind of light. I.E. God.

I respect others rights to be themselves. I NEVER try to force my views on them.

I can not make you happy, nor can you make me happy. However, if we both are at peace and have hearts filled with love joy and happiness the world is our pearl and we will rejoice in our mutual inner happiness. Then we will be happier!

Eight years living alone has taught me that I can have a full happy life without a mate. I had two beautiful relationships along the way which ended without drama. I refuse to be jaded. I will not fear the possibility that a future relationship will not work out. If I did so, I would be giving in to fear of being hurt or hurting another. The law of attraction would then bring me what I fear! I am a hopeful romantic not a hopeless one!

I am very active and eclectic in the things I do for fun. It is easier to list what I do not like. Sports on TV. Boxing live or on TV. Hunting unless I need the food and do not have money for it. Any form of HATE toward self or others. (For example, Drug use/abuse and condescending rude treatment and dialog directed at others.) I am comfortable in a suit watching a play or jeans listening to a blues band at a local hole in the wall pub. I am healthy and high energy. I love to move. Dancing and playing my guitar are high on my list of fun things to do.

Late night thoughts.

I view my place here as temporary. Science tells me we can not create

or destroy anything, only change its form. My essence, the energy that

drives this body must therefore continue beyond the end of my physical

body.





Look up the movie, "21 Grams", Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu.

With Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Danny Huston. It is an interesting look
