Death is a Trifecta

I while back I read about an American Indian belief that at the end there are 3 deaths.  

I know this is a bit of a morbid topic, but one that may create thoughtful insight into how we should live our lives, and if you think about it - it's actually true.

The first death

When the physical body dies, the last breath is taken.

The second death

When the body is laid to rest, buried in the ground, or cremated and returned to the earth.

The third and final death

When there are no people left who knew or remember the person.

This final point struck home whilst watching an episode of "Time Team".  The archaeologists discovered the remains of a woman who had been buried in a field for over 1500 years.  There was nothing to show this persons struggles and joys she had lived in her life, no one could identify who she was. All her experiences, trials and tribulations where lost to the earth.

BUT, we can take comfort in the knowledge that we can do our very best in the NOW, using every moment to give, work, laugh and do all we can do each day to make this world a better place for yourself and everyone around you.

Action may not always bring happiness...but there is no happiness without action.

3 Secrets To Manifesting ANYTHING You Desire!

Here are 3 Secrets to manifestation that can transform your life today...

Secret 1: Thinking Faster Increases Manifestation

The universe operates quickly and efficiently. By making your own thoughts quick and efficient, you tap into the primordial creative power of the universe. The quicker you can think, the quicker you can manifest. This is the law.

Here's a key lesson to remember: 

Slow thinkers = slow manifesters

 Fast thinkers = fast manifesters 

Secret 2: You Must Stop Your Thinking To Manifest

Controlled absence of thinking is what creates manifestation. This means you need to create a state of Silence inside of your mind and maintain this as much as you can.

What you must understand is that your own thoughts are the barrier to manifestation. When the thoughts are controlled, the barriers are released and all of the creative energies of manifestation can increase without limit.

To control your thoughts is about understanding the whole operation of your mind and knowing what to do to increase your thought power.

Secret 3: You Must Surround Yourself With The People Who Have What You Want

A great secret is that the people you surround yourself with has the biggest influence over your life. If you want to change what happens in your life, you need to change the people you associate with.

Positive, happy and successful people are the biggest tools you have for manifestation. No exception! Get around these people as much as you can and watch your manifestations sky rocket. 

Look at your life right now and ask yourself this serious question: Who is the most successful person in your life right now? How often do you associate with them? Could you do with associating with better people to change your manifestation level?

I hope this text has blessed you in better understanding some of the key secrets to manifestation.

Become Happier In Life

Many people feel that

things like money, a better job, better relationships..etc

will make them happy. 

In reality, to find true contentment

you must look inside yourself and learn to be your own best

friend. That means you have to trust, love, and care for

yourself just as you do the people you consider to be close

to you.

Following are steps that you can incorporate into your life

that will help you to feel more empowered and happy about

yourself!

Begin to lift yourself up, not put yourself down. If you

don't like something about yourself, work to change it. If

you can't change it, simply accept it. Don't beat up on

yourself with negative self-talk. You're not likely to

change for the better when you fill yourself with negative

thoughts.

Give yourself positive rewards. When you do something that

you are proud of give yourself a small reward. Try not to

wait for others to praise you because you may grow resentful

if the praise doesn't come. Pat your own back, it is a great

feeling that can stay with you for a long time.

Forgive yourself. I doubt that you would keep scolding a

child over and over for making a mistake so don't do that to

yourself. Give yourself the gift of forgiveness when you

make a mistake. After that, work to figure out what lesson

you can learn, and use it to make better choices the next

time around.

Enjoy your successes. Most people can remember all of the

details of depressing, painful or even embarrassing events

that happened many years ago. What if you did the same thing

with all of your wins? Try to remember all of the triumphs

and accomplishments that you've made and keep that memory

with you and think about it at least once a week.

Always remember to celebrate your wonderful qualities! You

will soon discover that the more you love yourself, the more

you will be able to give love to others - and the more

others will be able to love you!

R U OK Day - 12 september

R U OK? Day 2013 – 12 September 2013

Ask one question & save a life - what a great Idea....

Just three little words could save someone's life and no they aren't 'I love you'. Although that would be great also but I am actually talking about asking someone, 'Are you ok'? Or in this case, R U Ok? Seems simple doesn't it, however, we get so caught up in our own lives that it's easy to forget to ask.
-------------------------------------------------

Below are some simple steps to start a conversation - this is something I believe we should try to do EVERYDAY - but R U OK day is a great start :-)

This is taken from the R U Ok Day? Website:
1. Ask R U OK?
 
Start a general conversation; preferably somewhere private.
Break the ice with a joke.
Build trust through good eye contact, open and relaxed body language.
Ask open–ended questions.
'What's been happening? How are you going?'
'I've noticed that... What's going on for you at the moment?'
'You don't seem like yourself and I'm wondering are you ok? Is there anything that's contributing?'

2. Listen without judgement

Guide the conversation with caring questions and give them time to reply.
Don't rush to solve problems for them.
Help them understand that solutions are available when they're ready to start exploring these.
'How has that made you feel?'
'How long have you felt this way?'
'What do you think caused this reaction?'

3. Encourage action

Summarise the issues and ask them what they plan to do
Encourage them to take one step, such as see their doctor
'Would you like me to make an appointment or come with you?'

4. Follow up

Put a note in your diary to call them in one week. If they're desperate, follow up sooner.
Ask if they've managed to take that first step and see someone
If they didn't find this experience helpful, urge them to try a different professional because there's someone out there who can help them.
'How are things going? Did you speak with your doctor?'
'What did they suggest? What did you think of their advice?'
'You've had a busy time. Would you like me to make the appointment?'


Meaningful conversations and a sense of connection are what make us feel valued and supported. The R U OK? Foundation hopes to empower and encourage people to make a difference to the significant and devastating issue of suicide in Australia. On Thursday, 12th September ask the question and help make every conversation count.

Laughter is like a Hurricane

“Laughter... is like a hurricane: once it reaches a certain point, it becomes self-feeding, self-supporting. You laugh not because the jokes are funny but because your own condition is funny.” ― Stephen King A note from Cynthia... Laughter. It's a smile, gone supernova. Some say that humans are the only species on the planet that laugh. Whether that's strictly true, I'm not sure (have you ever seen a bonobo being tickled?), but laughter is certainly a core piece of what makes us human. It's kind of a hard thing to define, isn't it? And I think-no, strike that. I feel like it's also part of our divine nature, too. Not just everyday "ha-ha" good humor, but also the kind of laughter King is talking about in the quote today. The kind Robert Frost is talking about with his quote "If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane." That kind of laughter seems to come from a place beyond the ego, and it somehow allows us to let go of struggle and really laugh at ourselves. Do you remember your last stomach-clenching-tear-jerking-snot-producing laugh? With hugs, smiles, and lots of laughter too, Cynthia p.s. Have you signed up for Today's "A-HAs!" yet? It's totally, 100% free, but it's packed with valuable stuff.

Life is an Adventure'
Life is an Adventure on IBS

Limits and fears are just an illusion.

This video has to be one of the most greatest motivational videos I have ever seen.  The key point is if you want to become any thing in life, you can't be blaming other people for your problems, be inspired.

(transcript of the video posted below).

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

It's a very mean and nasty place,

and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it.

You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

But it ain't about how hard you hit.

It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

How much you can take and keep moving forward.

That's how winning is done!

Pain is temporary.

It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or even a year,

but eventually it will subside

and something else will take its place.

If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

The margin for error is so small...

one-half a step too late or early, and you don't quite make it.

One half-second too slow, too fast, you don't quite catch it.

The inches we need are everywhere around us.

They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second.

You got a dream, you gotta protect it.

People can't do something themselves they wanna tell you you can't do it.

If you want something, go get it. Period.

Don't be afraid to fail.

You can’t always win, but don’t afraid of making decisions.

You have to believe that something different can happen.

He who says he can

And he who says he can’t are both usually right

Most of you said that you want to be successful, but you don’t want it bad.

You just kinda want it.

You don’t want it bad than you want to party.

You don’t want it as much as you want to be cool.

Most of you don’t want success as much as you want to sleep!

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.

You have to dig deep down, dig deep down and ask yourselves,

Who do you want to be?

Figuring out for yourselves what makes you happy,

no matter how crazy it may sound to other people.

Make a choice.

Just decide,

what it’s gonna be, who you’re gonna be, how you are going to do it.

Just decide.

Why not?

Why can't I be MVP of the league?

Why can't I be the best player in the league?

I don’t see why. Why, why can't I do that?

What is it you said to the kid?

It ain't about how hard you hit.

It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.

Get up.

Get up.

Get up and don't ever give up.

And we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us...

or

we can fight our way back into the light.

We can climb out of hell...

...one inch at a time.

To be able at any moment

Sacrifice what you are for what you will become.

Most of you won't be successful because when you're studying, and you get tired, you quit.

‘I’m not good in math.’ That’s right, because you never study!

‘I’m no good in rhyme.’ Because you never write before!

Talent you have naturally.

Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.

If you are not making someone else’s life better,

you’re wasting your time.

Don't cry to quit, cry to keep going.

Don’t cry to quits.

You already in pain, you already hurt. Get a reward from it.

If you know what you're worth, go and get what you're worth!

But you gotta be willing to take the hits,

and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody!

Cowards do that, and that ain't you!

You're better than that!

Every day is a new day.

Every moment is a new moment.

Now you've got to go out and show them that you're a new creature.

Now!

I'ma show you how great I am!

In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it’s written “the kingdom of God is within man”,

not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you!

You, the people, have the power,

the power to create machines,

the power to create happiness

You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful,

to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Now!

What are you gonna do?

Because limits like fears are often just an illusion.

Abundant thinking

Abundant thinking requires that you appreciate what you have in life, rather than bemoaning the things you lack.

 It further asks that you focus on what is possible, and that you reach for what you want in life. If this latter point sounds like something you are already doing and it is not producing the goods, it is because you have not established the former mindset – the one that makes you always appreciative. 

The opposite is scarcity thinking, which focuses on what you don’t have, what you want more of, what you might lose, and what has gone wrong in your life.





People who think abundant thoughts are happier than those who don’t. It stands to reason. Abundant thinking is positive thinking. That does not mean they are unaware of the areas where their lives might need improvement, they are simply able to approach those areas with a positive frame of mind, confident that they will have no difficulty bringing about the necessary changes. This is because they choose to believe that there is an abundance of whatever they need just waiting for them.

Our thoughts dictate our lives. Our thoughts can attract good things into our lives, or repel them. This is another Universal Law – the Law of Attraction. One of the common sayings in positive thinking methodology is: “Whatever the mind of man can conceive of, and believe in, it can achieve.”

Stay Positive in the knowledge that everything is for a purpose, and you are perfect just the way you are.


   “What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.”
- Henry David Thoreau

E - Enjoy. Motivation takes place when people are happy.

F - Family and Friends -- Don't loose sight of them.

G - Give more than what is enough. 

H - Hang on to your dreams. They may sway for a second, but these will be your driving force. 

I - Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don't let other people get the best of you. 

J - Just be you. The key to failure is to try to please everyone.

K - Keep trying no matter how hard life may seem.

R - Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. 

S - Stop procrastinating.

T - Take control of your life. Discipline and self-control are synonymous with drive. 

U - Understand others. Yearn to understand first, and to be understood the second.

V - Visualize it. 

W - Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. 

X - X Factor is what will make you different from the others. When you are motivated, you tend to put on "extras" on your life like extra time for family, extra help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.

Y - You are unique. Value your life and existence. 

Z - Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!

How to Find Joys in the Workplace and Loving Life

Do you still remember your first job and the thrills of finding and landing that stint? Do you sometimes look back as to how you act unto loving life and the job that you were able to write proudly on your resume when you were still young?

Young people must have lots of dreams and goals that they must work hard for in order to attain and accomplish. This must drive them towards success. Everybody started young. And it is always nice to look back to realize how things and your attitude were far different at that point of your life.

Red Warning

As you last in the industry you are in, there are points in your life and career when you just want to pause and stop. You may even think of giving everything up for the main reason that you no longer want to move on doing the same things every day. This situation places a red signal warning on you. This is especially true if you are already getting bored with the same things that you do at work from the moment you enter the office in the morning until it is time for you to come home.

If you are facing this dilemma right now, you are not alone. There are many people who are unsatisfied with their work life that they are always thinking of how they can get out of the situation. Before you head on and compose your resignation letter, you may want to look at the following tips of how can you find joys in what seems to be a boring workplace that you are stuck into.

1. Change your routine. You may want to start your day fresh and new. If you are used to opening your computer first thing in the morning, you may want to try to read the papers waiting for you first before you open your PC. You can interchange the things that have become a routine for you. This way, your body will not feel the boredom of knowing what will happen next after you are done with your first task.

2. Redecorate your workstation. If you spend lots of your time at work at the cubicle with your PC and other things in front of you, you should make it your kingdom. What makes you happy? If you love your dogs, you can place funny pictures of your pets all around you. You can place flowers on your desk if this will make you feel light. You should also have some stress relievers handy, like balls, a piece of a puzzle game and anything that can help you last your day at work.

 3. Talk to people. You can do this during breaks. This way, you endear yourself to the other employees in the office. You will get to know them better and can even make some good friends in the process. Having people whom you enjoy being with will make it more exciting and fun to come to work every day.

4. Problems with your work. You must talk to your superior regarding such. Do not handle your problems by yourself especially when you badly need the help of other people. By finding solutions to your problems and solving them fast, you can skip out on causing more stress to yourself and likewise prove that you are indeed loving life and loving the job that you are in.

A happy Life

A recent post from Tara that I thought was inspirational, enjoy.

We’re all searching for happiness. And one of the best ways of attaining it is to let other people’s happiness make you happy, instead of envious.

Depending on the positive or negative tone of your thoughts, words and deeds, you create vibrations of the same kind, i.e. positive or negative.


Letting other people’s happiness make you happy generates positive vibrations, both for yourself and for others.

Letting other people’s happiness make you happy does everyone good, you included.

And the opposite is also true. Not rejoicing in others’ misfortune also generates favorable, positive energy that helps you attain your goals more quickly, and have the life you dream of.

Emitting positive thoughts when you think of someone else, even for no specific reason, is also very beneficial. The more positive thoughts you’re able to generate, the more positive energy you’ll receive in return.

And it’s the accumulation of all these good vibrations that helps realize your potential in all areas of your life: Luck, money, health, love-life, work, etc.

In short, generating positive energy makes achieving all your goals a lot easier. Do that, and your life is sure to improve.
