Life is a DREAM for the WISE

Twenty eight years old and I feel better than ever! There comes a sort of polished womanhood and sophistication at this age. I feel like a bottle of wine that just seems to be getting more expensive over time. A rare sophistication and understanding of the world around me from the years that I have lived previously. Growing up in Vegas I have certainly lived a fantasy life. My eyes have seen the blueprints of dreams brought to reality. It has truly been fascinating to watch and take in such overwhelming experiences. I have been blessed to walk such an exciting journey. With each new day I embark on my own dream that I like to call reality. This is my life and this my movie. I am the director, Or am I? That seems to be a plausible question. I like to believe that I make the cuts and that I say what goes. An artist at my innate nature, life behind these eyes is somewhat of a whimsical journey. Lately, I've had a slight shift in my consciousness. I've been noticing something greater than myself at work. My ego would like to believe that it is the Great Director of this movie I call my life. However, contrary events have put this reality into question. It has truly been an interesting and awe provoking shift in perspective. It's a whole new world for me. A world that I no longer control. A world that is somehow dictated by something larger than myself. However, don't misconstrue my words just as Nelson Mandela once said I still believe that I am the master of my own destiny. I just now believe that everything and every person I meet in my life is a sort of destiny. That I was meant to meet that person and that each event and circumstance has a profound impact and ripples into my future. I take my life serious today and mental clarity and focus in each decision I make is of the utmost importance to me and my destiny. Each moment ripples into the future, every second counts, so get out of your head and into the moments of your life and make them count. Live the dream we call reality. As Henry David Thoreau said, To be awake in thy dream is to live the truest Life".

Perplexed.... Don't Be Stagnant....

If you are in anyway perplexed with the current situation of your life. Do not be stagnant in your life. Sitting around contemplating your circumstances will do absolutely nothing for you. If a behavior does not serve you let it go. Observe your situation and determine what behavior is not serving you? Then decide what can be done to your routine to change your circumstances?You must understand that your circumstances did not happen over night and these circumstances will not be undone overnight. Thus have patience with yourself. Keep in mind that gradual change is lasting change. Each day make resolve to work towards making  changes in yourself to remove this perplexed feeling inside your soul. Whatever this emotion is that is making you feel uncomfortable, have comfort that you have the power to make it go away. Our mind is such a powerful mechanism we can control and dictate our emotions. Our mind is metaphorically similar to a pilot within a cockpit. Learn to harness your emotions in a healthy and beautiful manner so that it serves you. This is a fine art that takes many years of practice. A practice that is well worth taking up. Many people will never process their emotions. Instead they choose to blame the external world for all of their problems and they aimlessly search for happiness outside themselves. This is similar to searching for a mirage in the Sahara desert, it's a feeble attempt. Learn from other's mistake so that your path can be one of prosperity and warmth versus sorrow and pain. Until next time love yourself and others.
