4/06/2021 The Challenge

 

    Thats what you want to do when it comes to yourself. Challenge  yourself in setting the goal and attaining that goal. See for yourself where that  endeavor takes you.

    For me I went big. I wanted to know if God is real. Don't  remember how many years it took. But I finally did get an answer.  The answer came in a dream. After that dream, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God does exist.  God stands back waiting on you to call him forth. What ever it is that you are dealing with, God is ready to lend an assist. 

Invite him in, no greater friend is he. He is there for all who call upon him. You definitely  can't  go wrong. To see it for yourself  is a great joy. Once you know it beyond  a shadow of a doubt, you will be forever uplifted. Today tomorrow  whenever you decide, he is there. On a carasol people  would try to grab for the brass ring many years ago.  I say swap out the brass for gold for that is what you will have when you choose to put God in your life.

4/04/21 I'll Get Through This

 

    Those are the words you use, when you find yourself up against  it.  I'll  get through this no matter what.  Tell yourself over and over again. As many times as you want. It's  like a security blanket. Then try to fix it the best you can asking spirit for its  help. Try to be ethical  in your endeavors. BECAUSE God knows all that you do,  and make  no mistake about that.  Sometimes answers don't  come at a snap of the finger, be patient and persistent.  The answer will come your way. Listen to that soft voice within. Is it so or no. Think about your problem and back it with action.  Leave no stone unturned in your hunt.

    Being a couch potatoe is ok but don't  make a habit of it. Be a part of life not a spectator. Nothing gets done without setting goals.  Figure out what do I want and what am I going to do to get it. Try to be of good cheer, the answers come easier that way. Feeding into that makes for a rewarding  life that's  always unfolding.

4/01/21 What's This

 

    Last week a 2 pound package that was 24% filled, tumbled from the 2nd shelf over the sink. Sugar came out on the first shelf and some came into the sink.  That was weird. Then 8 days later the same sugar package fell into the sink again.  A metal spoon I kept in the package shifted putting pressure on the side of the package. The momentum propelled  it off the shelf. Another clean up job. Two incidences involving sugar. Hmm.

    Twenty five years ago, I remember a woman once said to me 2 days ago  she dropped a whole sugar bowl on the floor. It smashed, the whole mess got swept into the garbage. She had another incident with sugar again and again.  I wonder what that means she said.  I know what that meant quit the sugar.

    I was doing sugar sometimes and Stevia as well, which is a sugar substitute.  I guess I will stick with stevia for now.  These occurrences are a way for spirit to prod us into going in a different direction.

     As an aside, diet sodas are no good for you period.  Regular soda is ok,  once in awhile. When I quit the diet soda,  the swelling in my legs went down.

    The two white substances sugar and salt very bad for the body. See if you can cut way back on it's consumption.  Read food packaging  labels for salt content. Last week I had a package of a mix for shrimp scampi,  I looked at the salt content over 1600mg of salt.   Wow!  Quickly tossed that pouch into the trash can.  Salt is in almost all packaged foods and other items as well.  Read the labels. Living life in a healthy body will take some work on your part.  Worth the effort.

3/31/2021 Dreams

 

    Dreams can be hard  to remember. Try to recall them  even if they are brief ot don't  make sense. Dreams can tell you about yourself. 

    A dream clued me in to an exchange with a female I had over 25 years ago.  I thought I was just kidding around, but she took it differently.  The dream let me know that.  Next  time I saw her, I went right up to her and apologized and told her about my dream. The dream was right on on how she took it initially.  Thats what Dreams can do. 

    A dream can talk about anything under the sun. Second example:  I was planning a trip to Paris and Cairo Egypt. I had a dream prior to going. In the dream I was sitting on the sand and being bit by red ants.  I knew what it meant.  The near future trip was going to have many bad experiences  for me. I decided to go anyway.  And true enough there were many negative experiences but I also had many good experiences.. By remembering my negative experiences, I got smarter.  So I cherish the bad along with the good.  So the bad made me smarter, thats not a bad thing,  it's a good thing.  Always the silver lining in every black cloud.

    Dreams can help you in making a big decision. Like wheather to buy that car or a different car. Or it may tell you to wait on getting that car. Spirit can look into the future and see that you will lose your job in 6 months.  Those  car payments may not be made by you. If you listen to spirit's  guidance you can save yourself alot  of grief.

    Dreams can show you why you feel the way you do in any given situation.  It's  good to know the why.  It settles things ,makes you less anxious. Also when you mess up acknowledge  it,  take responsibility for your actions learn from it , then move on.

    

3/30/21 Let's Get Started

 

    Today marks 1 year  of doing this blog.  This yrs blog is going to focus on changing your life for the better.  You will have a better understanding  of yourself.

    Spirit is how God  can communicate with you.  That communication  is available  24 -7. The only requirement  is for you to notice.

    Each day ask spirit a question. Then write the question down in your  9x12 inch notebook. Put the date atop all your future entries.  Answers to your questions can come from many sources.  Words from the TV  or radio.  Another person , a book or the internet. Also  an answer can come from a dream as well.  If you think you got a possible answer write it down in your book.  What you want to do is strengthen  your connection to spirit. By being active you show spirit that you want it's  help.  Many experiences await you. The effort is well worth it. 

    Make a small goal that you would like to achieve. It's  rewarding when you do the work and are able to complete the goal.  It builds confidence and inner strength.  As that strength  builds, you set yourself up for a more rewarding life.  Not being blown from here to there.  You will become captain of your life experiences  and no longer a deck mate. 

    The key word here is stick-to-itiveness. Fight the lethargy  that wants  to thwart us and keep us binded up in the status quo. 

3/28/21 One Year Later

 

    A year ago  on March 30 2020, I started this blog , my goal was to write 100 blogs.  Fell a little short. But that's ok because it was the goal that got me to the mid 90s. I was going to write a book and started about 4 yrs ago. Then I put it down and forgot about it.  Wasn't  til March of last year that I got interested in the blog. I liked that it could easily be updated and could be found on the internet. For the second year  I'm  going to launch    A Life's  Change for the Better.    I will try to post at least 5-6 articles per week on how to do this. Anyone can do this no matter where you are or how old you are. The important thing is to get started. Doesn't  require alot of time  either.

    You will need two notebooks. One book would  be a 300 page spiral, like 9x12. That stays in your dedicated space in your house at all times. The other is a memo book to carry on your person throughout  the day with a pen. You will also need an open mind and heart.

3/24/2021 Actions and Words do Matter

 

    Another  mass shooting  yesterday. And on and on it goes.  Growing up, I only remember 1 mass shooting every 3-4 yrs.  This latest one in Colorado comes 8 days after the Atlanta shootings.  The Colorado shooter was anti social. Why? My guess is mentally he was on the edge of mental stability for years. Then in school he was harrased by fellow students with very unkind words. Then he would just stew for days on end. Most people would let it go like water off a duck's back. This guy couldn't.  So maybe it's  a good thing to teach respect to your kids at a very young age, say starting at age 3. It's  about showing them in your own actions. When they call someone a unkind name you gently reprimand them. Would you like it if someone called you that name?  Practice kindness on a daily basis. Talk to your kids daily about subjects concerning kindness. Did your kid experience anything at school that made them feel not so good?Draw them out as soon as they get home from school. This has to be done everyday. Otherwise the events of yesterday  will keep occurring. Meaness can and will beget violence whether  with words or deeds.

    After the shooting people in Colorado ran out and bought even more  guns than ever before. So fearful, they live their lives in fear. That fear is shown to the kids  and they become their fearful parents. On and on it goes.

    To have a clean environment it starts with picking up a piece of trash and putting it in a proper waste container.  To fix the shootings it starts with showing and l I stewing to your kid on a daily basis.  That's  your number 1 job.
