A Five Minute Mental Break : The Comfort of Your Misery

_____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Most people want to go somewhere with their lives but they aren’t willing to leave the comfort of their miseries. A better life is an unknown life factor for many people. If we don’t understand how to achieve a better life, we find ourselves compromising for a less than adequate existence. You don’t have to settle for less if you’re willing to take the first step. But, if you don’t take the first step to create a better life, you’ll have to settle for less than you deserve. One day, I was at the lake walking along the dock and looking at the beautiful boats. All of a sudden, there was a “thud” followed by the straining of a boat’s engine. The vessel’s driver forgot to unlatch his boat from the dock before pulling away. This incident reminded me of how many, good hearted people, handle their lives and desires. They want more but are not willing to unlatch themselves from their current uncertainty and confusion. If you really want more out of life, it is time you decide specifically the “results” you choose to obtain and by all means, take the first step and commit to making it happen. Anyone can dream about a better life but very few people are willing to take a chance on themselves to create their dream life. This is the reason why so many people think of life as a struggle. Life is a struggle when you want something more but you’re stuck to the dock of your current existence. Holding onto a life that is less than what you desire is not security, it is insanity. Take a chance on living more life. Take a risk on yourself. I would rather risk and lose, but thereby experience more livingness, than never to have risked at all. As the author and artist, Flora Whittemore shared long ago, “The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.” Are you living the life you want or are you compromising yourself for the comfort of your current confusion? You have a choice, but you’ll need to take a risk on yourself to do better. Take a chance on your life and put everything you have into your dream. When we place our full selves into our life purpose, success is inevitable. Michael J. Duckett © Dr. Michael J. Duckett 2009.

Michael Jackson - The Music Legend : He Made a Peaceful Transition

That beautiful, tortured, incredibly talented and lonely person that was Michael Jackson has made the transition. His unfortunate addiction to prescription drugs tipped him over the edge; when the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak that's what happens.

He is at peace now and as I believe in reincarnation, I can say with certainty that a another was born at the moment he died and he will be back in another guise.
My tribute here to The Music Maestro lest we forget in the months and years to come.

Receiving with Gratitude: A Gift Beyond Measure

Today, I am grateful to receive
That's always been hard for me
Growing up
I was forced to give
Never encouraged to live
But that's when you have parents who never lived
Now that I'm forced to live
To the fullest point imaginable
It's painful and I'm irascible

Now I see with the deepest love
And gratitude to the One above
The Source
That receiving is love
Abraham made me understand that today
And I'm on my way

Trusting Your Life to Unfold Perfectly | The Ultimate Spiritual Act

Trust your life to unfold perfectly by Martha Beck is the final segment in Getting your life back on track from Oprah's Spirit Newsletter.  Sign up for it people.

She is the best female coach I have ever encountered; super smart, down-to-earth, incisive, insightful and funny. I love people like that.

Trust and letting go

You can achieve non-attachment by letting go and having faith that that which you yearn for will be fulfilled. It does not mean becoming a martyr and sighing and boring everyone to tears because what you want isn't coming to pass. Believe that what you want will happen.

Most of us were taught that in order to get something we have to "work hard". It is important to recognise therefore that the mental focus and doing what you can to bring you towards your goal, no matter how small, is part of the proces.

Martha says that if we can master letting go and trust in the process, amazing and seemingly miraculous things occur to fulfill our soul's desires.

Learning to see with new eyes

But what happens when we can't trust anymore. With all the hard knocks in life, we become wary and untrusting and usually expect the worst. And when fortune smiles on us, we reject it out of hand.

Because we're coming from a place that cannot see it for what it is or dare not trust what our eyes tell us. We fall back on our doubting, suspicious minds.

Blocked trust is the reason for blighted dreams and Ms Beck proposes two exercises to get back us back on the trusting train.

Re-learning trust in the process

Exercise 1: choose something that you know will come true; make sure it's coming from deep within and that it's something simple that you like and want - like flowers or music.

Then deliberately trust that this desire will be fulfilled. Don't spend time thinking about it; just let it go and act as if you already have it. Your trust will be rewarded.

I know it seems silly and you can't figure it out. But you see, when a desire comes from your core, it's a soul desire and it's real. Your subconscious mind knows this and will act to bring you what you desire by the quickest means possible.

Exercise 2: Make a list of every desire you have ever had in the past which was realised. Then try to remember how each of them happened whether by luck, coincidence, the generosity of others, an idea from out of the blue, and so on.

When you through with the list, you will have the proof that your life has been linked to a chain of miraculous delights which you never noticed before.

So what are you waiting for? Go get your life back on track and live it to the hilt!

Here are the three previous posts in this series: Become a well of stillness, Find your inner strength and get free, and Feeling your soul's desires.

Chris Brown - That Sack of Pure Shite

This Chris Brown and Rihanna affair bothers the heck out of me because women rarely get a fair deal in abuse cases, and definitely not in domestic violence cases; not by the legal system or by the judges in the case.

A plea bargain is not what was needed here; the case was too high profile and the judgement handed down is sending the wrong signal! That boy has gotten off far too lightly!

Female batterers get a slap on the wrist like - don't do that again ... for the umpteenth time when they appear in court. And therein lies the problem. The police and judicial system as a whole do not consider violence against women to be outrageous, which is what it is!

Gratitude Today for Being Awake

I went to bed angry at myself and woke up the same way.

Angry for reacting to the nasty European men on the streets of Geneva who believe that all women of colour are prostitutes.

Of course, my reaction to the sack of shit changed my vibration immediately which is really what pissed me off because the uneducated and the racists will always be around until we all assume responsibility for our thoughts, words and deeds.

I am very grateful to no longer be as hot-headed as I was when I lived in New York City. Back then I always had an 18 cm (6 inches) long antique hat pin stuck in my clothing as my weapon of choice and I had no reservations about using it if I was ever attacked.

Feeling Your Soul's Desire and Having Yearnings Fulfilled

And here I am again with step 3 Feel Your Soul's Desires from Martha Beck's "Taking Your Life Back". This step is primordial and was key to getting my life back on track.

It felt like returning home to a warm, loving embrace that I hadn't experienced in so long that I'd forgotten about it and now that I'm back, I don't want to leave again.

I hope it's the same for you as well. I strongly advise that you complete the exercise at the bottom of this post.

So, why do we expect so much from others? How could anyone possibly know what we want when we don't express it in clear, unambiguous terms.

People are not mind readers yet there is this constant dissatisfaction when non-verbalized, unspecified needs aren't met.

We don't really know what we want, Beck says. We know that something's missing but we don't know what it is. We're seeking...

The obstacles to our progress are our minds which function within the narrow confines programmed by our families and cultures from the cradle. The soul tells us what we want and need, the mind tells us what we think we need.

At this stage, it is time to clarify and specify our soul's needs and stop listening to our obsessive minds. She puts it like this:

The soul knows I want freedom from worry, the mind thinks I want to win the lottery. 

The soul says I want to feel connected with all things, the mind translates  I need the perfect, romantic soul mate to make me feel connected.

Become still and go within to the silence. There we can feel the deep, abiding passion and conviction of the soul's desire. The mind's needs tend to feel frantic, panicked and grasping.

When you feel this way, breathe deeply a few times  to centre yourself, then let go deep enter your well of stillness to identify what your soul truly desires.

One way to identify your soul's desires

Get a sheet of paper and at the top, write Things I want. Fill the page with everything you want: a better job, to be size 6, win the lottery, etc. When you're finished get a new sheet of paper.

At the top, write Things I yearn for and start writing. When you're finished compare the two lists. Martha says you will find that what appears on this list is completely different from the Things I want list; that was created by your mind.

The logical mind wants a car because – we yearn for freedom and mobility; we want hot sex because – we yearn for intimacy; we want to be beautiful because – we yearn for acceptance.

You need to get clear on one thing: the needs of soul or Inner Being is always right.

Don't get caught up in how your yearnings will be fulfilled. Accept them for what they are for now and relax. Whatever you try in your current mindset probably won't work... because cars, sex and beauty don't automatically lead to freedom, intimacy and acceptance. 

Allow yourself to be comfortable with not knowing and the more you let go of the "how", the faster your deepest desires will come to you, and they will. It seems like magic but it is very natural indeed.

I'm having some amazing experiences from following Martha Beck's advice; they are incredibly satisfying.

Now go to it people and then continue with the last in the 4-part series, Trust your life to unfold perfectly.
