Where Is The Love?

March 14, 2011 – 9:00 am

It’s been a great day so far, lots of time to catch up on my business and also to connect with some special friends.  I hope you’re having a good day too!

Something keeps on being said in my head today – which is “Where is the love?” and it’s sung in Justin Timberlake’s voice! ;)   He sang a song with the Black Eyed Peas that has this as its title.  I thought I’d drop you a line and see if it resonates with you.

It ‘should’ all be so simple really, shouldn’t it?  We are love.  We give love.  We love to receive love.  And yet so many of us are pushing against the flow of love and feeling the resistance – which pushes us into a negative state.

When we feel fed up with our children, our partners, our friends, we can so quickly go from 0 – 60 in 5 seconds feeling anger or resentment building up inside of us.  When this happens “where is the love?”  And that’s it really.  Where does it go in that instance?

Listening to some fabulous friends today talking about their situations, I ventured to ask them the question “where is the love?”   It stopped them in their tracks.  If you could take a step away from the situation, take some deep breaths, choose to focus on feeling some love for that person – how could you handle a situation differently? 

How about next time your inner gremlin says something unkind – ask yourself the question “where is the love?” (with or without Justin’s voice!)

Quote of the day: “Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.” Gary Zukav

Here it is! Sending you lots of love

Making ‘me time’

October 5, 2010 – 11:16 am

Would you agree that as women, it is so easy to find ourselves busy being busy and we forget about letting go and enjoying life – making time to do the things we like to do?  The things that make our heart sing and give us a spring in our step.  When you value your time and choose to do something for you, let go of any negative thoughts - your self esteem rises.

To be right or to be happy?

June 17, 2010 – 10:00 am

‘Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?’ Dr Gerald Jampolsky

I read that quote this week for the first time and reflected on the simplicity of the question.  Wow!  It’s easy when it’s put like that, isn’t it? 

How many people do you know who spend chunks of time everyday allowing their productive or creative energy to drain away because they feel the need to be right or to justify themselves?

Every time we make a choice about anything, it is either about moving towards pleasure or away from pain.

We all know of friends or family members who find themselves caught up in disputes which began as small issues or misunderstandings who have now found themselves falling out and friendships lost. 

There are times when it is important and warranted to be acknowledged for being ‘right’ but for the times when it really isn’t the end of the world – we can choose to let it go, walk away and think of something else more pleasurable.  What do you do?  If we are full up of our own self respect, self approval and self love – it makes it easier to walk away, we have nothing to prove.

I choose my outcome to be a happy one.  I want my life to be filled with happiness, love, laughter, harmony, positive challenges and an abundance of all good things.  What do you want for you?

Will Smith for President?

January 7, 2010 – 9:00 am

 

I urge you – please give yourself 10 minutes today, to watch and reflect on this….

 

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLN2k0b3g70&feature=player_embedded]

You have to admire Will Smith – Don’t you? 

He’s not just an awesome actor whose charisma oozes from the screen - he’s a fine role model to all generations… In this video of clips posted on youtube, he shares snippets of his philosophy.  It blows me away to hear him talk with such PASSION, enthusiasm and COURAGE.  I get shivers down my spine. 

This is a man who not only walks his talk, he’s proof it works.  He is a driven individual who HAPPILY focuses on what he wants – he CHOOSES not to sweat the small stuff… stays on track with CONVICTION in his belief that he can achieve.  Does not listen to the doubters and MAKES it happen.

What a powerful man. 

What can we learn from him?  How easily do we forget our dreams?  Decide we ‘can’t do it’? Make excuses for not achieving?  Even put some blame on others… Do you know anyone who does that?  Do you believe in yourself?  What goal can you say you will achieve this year – with total courage and conviction? Mmm… something to think about…
