Your Own Best Possibilities

My mother and I have the most strangest of relationships I've ever encountered since coming out. Yet, it has been the most successful of all the friendships I've ever had. I dont respect her because she gave birth to me, I dont because anybody could've done that. I do, however, respect and trust my mother because when it seemed insurmountable, she taught, provided, smacked, schooled me like no other. What follows is what I have found to enrich and enhance my life, without knowing that indirectly she has told me all of these things. So, to my mother, who reads this whenever I tell her to, thank you for being as stubborn as your child is. Thank you for giving me the space to create, disentegrate and mess up almost everything, only to have you to back me up.


You are worthy of the best, so act like it.  You can do great, positive, and valuable things, so do them.

Live up to your outstanding potential.  Think and act and live like the successful person you know you truly are.

Don’t cheat yourself or your world out of the best of yourself.  Give everything you have to this moment, and the next, and the next.

It may be difficult and inconvenient and even painful to do what you know is best.  Yet the regret of turning your back on your outstanding possibilities would be even more painful.

You know you can bring great richness to life, so do it.  You have unique and meaningful value to give, so give it.

Feel the awesome power of your own best possibilities, and step forward to take responsibility for them. 

Do what you must to live at your best, because in your best is the truth of who you are.

Feeling Positive

On the subject that I raised in my last blog regarding my constant portrayal of absolute happiness and positivity, this is what I have come up with...somewhat of an explanation but not really; more so an indication of why I feel the need to remain happy and positively tuned in instead of moping around and aimlessly meandering with no purpose. Why feel guilty about what you’ve failed to accomplish; instead feel energised about what you now can achieve.Stop feeling remorseful about the time you’ve wasted.  Start feeling enthusiastic about the time that’s now available to you.When the setbacks come, you won’t do yourself any favour by feeling sorry for yourself.  What will help is to direct your feelings into being more determined than ever before.

There’s nothing to be gained by feeling envious of what others have accomplished. Choose instead to feel inspired by their examples.It doesn’t help anyone for you to feel bad about those who are less fortunate than you.  Instead, make meaningful use of your own good fortune so that it has a positive and powerful impact on many other lives.

For every reason to feel negative, there’s an even better reason to feel positive.  And from those positive feelings come positive and valuable results.

now, shall we...
Rock On
and, Move On

A Simple Kiss

Many of the people that knows me simply cant believe that I get moments of depression or is filled with sadness from time to time. I guess it is because that is how I portrait myself to the outside world all the time. Some would find that draining or just near impossible; I just do.

Now, when I have my moments I find inspiration by reading through my diaries, notes, poems and can't help but feel uplifted and ready to smile and laughter. While going through a whole box of writings I came across a few poems I wrote when I was 19 and I was ludicrously inlove with a man who taught me so many things about myself.

 A Simple Kiss

So edible, I try to move closer
To touch, to smell, to devour
My fingers move over the lines -
The structures of pure enjoyment and signs
Of lust keeps me in hunger
And I dont know for how much longer
I can refrain from reaching out
To caress you with my mouth

In public, you shy away from my touch
But it only aid my need to try harder
To close the distant distance you lodged
And I'm to understand, but my heart beats faster...
The excitement; so enthrilling, so entoxicating
Where's my head? I just cant stop thinking!

You see me looking and smile
Jeez, this is taking more than just a while.
When am I going to feel the bliss I had before?
Instinctively, I knew, tonight, it gon' be me at your door.
Making sense is futile and unsucessful
So, I'm just gonna try to act collected and cool.
You say I'm crazy, I'm insane.
Ya, probably, but rather that then bein mundane.

I look at you, drawing you to my desire.
You agree...at last...this is it indeed; FIRE
The moment before, I savour
It gon' happen, stop bloody thinking, it's in your favour
You touch
I touch
We touch
Sweet, gentle yet ferocious with such demand
Pulled into your twist; im forever charmed

Choose Goodness

The time you spend living in fear is time you cannot spend living in love.
The time you spend hiding and retreating from life is time you cannot spend growing and advancing and achieving.

The hours and days you spend being annoyed or frustrated are times when you deny yourself access to life’s best possibilities. When you live in anger and resentment, you cut yourself off from life’s goodness.

Sure, there are many bad things that can happen. Yet you can be aware of them, and realistic about them, without being obsessed and consumed by them.

You may very well have good reasons for resentment, frustration and anger. But that doesn’t mean those negative responses are good for you, or that you must choose them.

You can choose instead to live in the enriching, empowering light of your own highest visions. You can always choose to grow, to achieve, and to fulfill by immersing your awareness in life’s ever-present goodness.

Every aspect of your life is greatly influenced, day in and day out, by the way you imagine life to be.
Imagine the best, choose the goodness, and be a source of love and light for all to see.

Laughter is The Answer

Whatever might be going on in my life, the only way I find some sort of release is by laughing! So, laugh with me simply because it's so fun!

and then a really cute one!

good night, good bless

The Opportunity of Now

Phew! It's been a while since I put pen to paper (or, finger to keyboard if you wish) to write something other than work. All of a sudden there was no creativity or insight to share when it seemed so chaotic and dark.

Many a times we are told to focus on the future, "keep your eyes on the ball" and "look at the bigger picture" and we follow these to the letter, but what about the now? The fact that right now I am dealing with the biggest of issues and I simply do not have the inclination to "look" anywhere else. I have found that the best way to holistically and uncomprisingly focus on my future is to sort out the now; to give the very best that I possess and manage the real time. In doing so, you allow yourself to create the chance to see opportunities. It makes no difference what has just happened, or why, or how. Whatever else it may be, it is also an opportunity.

To see the opportunity, stop looking backward and begin experience the now; the present. Let go of your resentment, your contentment, your anger and even your satisfaction. Focus on what you can now do. Whatever your feelings may be, direct their power toward creating new and meaningful value.

Be ready and willing to challenge your assumptions. This is a new moment, with new realities, so don’t obscure those valuable realities behind outdated assumptions.

As powerful and transformative as the past may have been, this is a new day with its own opportunities. It is now up to you to engage the best of those opportunities and to make the most of them.
You are in a powerful position because you can choose what to do next. Grab the opportunity of now, and move your whole world forward.

#RockOn

Fulfillment is Yours

You’ve waited long enough.  This is the day to take action.

The excuses are quite reasonable and understandable, and yet they have brought no value to your life.  Let go of those comfortable excuses, and step forward into the bright, direct light of achievement.

The hours in this day will quickly pass no matter what you choose to do with them. So you might as well make full use of them to create meaningful value.

If you’re not sure what to do, take a moment and reach deep inside.  Remind yourself of the things that mean the most, and do what truly strengthens and supports those things.

If the disruptions and distractions erode your focus, reach inside again.  Commit yourself with your actions, over and over, to live true to your highest vision.

This is your life and today is your opportunity to make a difference.  Get busy, because fulfillment is now yours to create

Making It So

Life can be exciting in a good way, and yet it doesn’t have to be exciting to be good. It’s nice when life is pleasant, and yet life doesn’t have to be pleasant to be rich and fulfilling.

It can be helpful when things go your way.  However, a little disappointment, or even a lot, is not the end of the world.

The fact is, you can treasure and enjoy life no matter what it brings.  You can find real, enriching value in each moment and in every experience.

Don’t be too quick to place judgments on events as they unfold.  What initially seems like it might hurt you, may very well end up helping you.

Life is largely what you make of it.  Choose to see the possibilities for progress in each turn of events, and you’ll be able to make great progress.

Instead of worrying about what has happened or what might happen, get busy working to influence what does happen. 

Life is great when you commit to making it so.

Live Your Own Life

I believe that every single one of us put on this earth are here for a reason. Now, I'm not here to tell you what you are suppose to do, who you are suppose to do and/or how to go about it. Nobody can and nobody should ever have that control over anybody; not even a parent.

And I also believe that once you have established who you are and where you're going that that would be the most beautiful gift you could ever give yourself. By living exactly how you feel it necessary.

You are special, so act like it.  You are unique, so make the most of that uniqueness.

There’s something you can contribute to this moment that no one else has to offer.  There is a perspective from which you can experience this day that is unlike any other.

Don’t settle for merely doing the same thing as anyone else, or mimicking the opinions, desires and dreams of others.  Live your own life, and explore the unique beauty of your very own dreams, thoughts, opinions and interests.

Your greatest value comes from being who you truly are.  Let your beautiful, unique, fascinating and authentic Self come fully to life.

Instead of spinning your wheels and striving to be someone you’re not, enjoy the sweet fulfilment of being who you really want to be.  Instead of trying in vain to please others with who you think they think you should be, impress them with who you really are...and allow your Self to be.

Know the true joy of being your true Self.  Honour and appreciate all of life by fully and authentically living the one very special life that is yours.

All 'n all, you are you and be proud to be you!

I thank you.

More

Making even more

Strength does not get used up when you use it.  In fact, it grows.

Sharing your wisdom with another person does not take that wisdom away from you.  It actually deepens your wisdom, and makes it even more profound.

Giving your love does not in any way diminish the love you have.  It makes your love richer and more meaningful and more love will return to you.

You can speak the truth all day long, and at the end of the day that truth is more plentiful than it was at the beginning.

You can exercise compassion for month after month, and you’ll end up with even more compassion.

Some of the most powerful and valuable things in life are the things that never get used up.  Indeed, those things such as love, integrity, truth, compassion and wisdom become more plentiful the more they’re used and given.  We all emanate from the same Source and when we are giving, the Divine part of us-the Being-is giving to the Divine in another; in essence, when we are giving to another we are giving to our Self. 

As each moment passes, give of your Self.  When you do, you’ll be making even more and receiving even more.

You Matter

You matter

The fear you have about being insignificant is a deception.  As long as you have the courage to act, you will matter.

Your actions may very well fall short of the goal.  You may pick yourself up and make another attempt, giving the entirety of your focus and energy to it, and fall short again.

Even so, you matter very much.  You are unique and beautiful in your very own way and always able to take the next step, to make some kind of a difference, and to have an influence.

If you’re even the slightest bit ambitious, it will take many attempts and will demand much of you.  Don’t punish or disrespect yourself for that.

Just keep going.  You have something important and meaningful to do, so keep going until you get it done.

Then set your sights on an even more ambitious goal and quickly begin moving confidently toward it.  You do indeed matter, you can always make a difference, and doing so is what will bring the fulfillment you seek.

Happy Friday!

Have a Laugh

Just go on... Just laugh for at least one of the below pictures. I SOOO dare you! lol

take care, see soon.

So Do

So do

You may not be able to get it perfect.  Yet you absolutely are able to get it done, so do.
It may not be the most enjoyable or exciting way to spend your time.  Still, it is what you must get done, so do.

It’s very possible that some people will criticize you for it, or even oppose your efforts. However, it is truly important to you that you make it happen, so do.

There may be a hundred perfectly reasonable excuses, and a thousand compelling distractions as well.  Yet when you have a meaningful reason to make it happen, that trumps every excuse.

You may get weary and discouraged, and in your discouragement you might convince yourself that the effort is not worth the trouble.  Rest for a little while, reconnect with your original purpose, then take a deep breath and keep on going.

You are absolutely capable of doing the work, and absolutely worthy of the achievement it will bring.  Whatever may come, you can make the effort to make a difference, so do.

Make Yourself Useful

There is absolutely nothing worse in this world then having nothing to do; aimlessly floating about and just breathing because you have to. By making yourself useful you automatically ensure that there is a reason why you were put on this earth.

So,

If you want to feel more positive, more empowered, more confident and encouraged, be useful.  Making a difference for others makes a big difference for you.

What’s a powerful way to maintain an authentic positive outlook?  It’s by getting busy and making a positive difference in life.

When you feel useful, everything feels better.  When your awareness is wrapped around making a difference, there’s no room for frustration, anxiety or worry.

Being genuinely useful brings out the best in you.  Making a positive contribution gives you a more positive perspective.

Many of your most powerful desires stem from a deep, underlying desire to know that your life matters.  Being truly useful is a great way to satisfy that fundamental desire.

Make yourself useful.  And make your world a more fulfilling place.
