Leave Your Past In The Past

By taking care of loose ends


No matter what we do in life it leaves a trail.  This can be used as an advantage if we allow it to or it can lead to some pretty big complications later on in life.  We must be careful of the seeds we plant today as we will reap the harvest later on in life.  This is so true.  Think about even the smallest things you do in life and how it shows up later on.  So, what we can do is plant seeds today to bring us the right kind of yield we want in the future.

This has become very hard to do in our "feel good now" society.  We are convinced that we shouldn't feel the least bit of pain or suffering in life.  That we shouldn't have to wait to feel good.  Food is ready in seconds, porn is available right on our phones, if we have a slight ache or pain there is a pill for it.  Listen, life is pain...we are meant to feel it.  Certain things should feel bad, we should not feel good all of the time.  There is no growth in the comfort zone.

I would invite you to do something today to start tying up loose ends from the past.  If you feel you have wronged someone, you didn't follow through on a plan, you have a debt you have been ignoring.  Start cleaning up your past and also, start planting for the future.  You would be surprised what a small investment will yield over time.  When we plant one kernel of corn it yields many ears.  This is the way life works as well.  If we plant the seeds of love everyday, in the future we shall have love in abundance.  This also holds true for the negative things in life.  If we plant poison ivy in the fields, it shall grow in abundance too.  If we plant negativity in the fertile soil of our minds, it will grow in abundance.

I can think about things in life where I made poor decisions not thinking that it would matter.  Truth be told there are probably some things that we do that might not manifest anything.  There are times where we plant seeds and they produce no yield.  But, I would urge anyone to approach with caution.  I have planted certain things in my life that skipped a few growing seasons only to show up later on.  A missed seedling potato in the till will sometimes pop up in the middle of your garden unannounced.  People and problems can do the same thing.

Do what you can today to make sure your future yield is something you are happy with.  Plant the right seeds and you will enjoy the abundant yield later on down the road.  Do the things today that others don't so in the future you can have what others won't.

As always, thank you for your time and attention.

Making It Now: 4 Steps to Success

The best time to do anything is right now. Hesitation is one of our biggest enemies in the world of getting things done. For a long time in my life I would put things off until the last minute then scramble to put it together. This can work as some of us work well under pressure, but in my experience a little planning can go a long way. Here are some of my tips on getting things accomplished. Make a list Writing things down takes an idea out of our minds and puts into the real world. This is an important step because ideas without action are simply that..and idea. The first action is to make it real by writing it down. Do it I know I have many lists with things uncrossed. It is very important when you have big goals to break it down into its parts and slowly accomplish them. Big goals can be very daunting. Want to make a million dollars in a year? That seems like an unrealistic goal, but if you could break it down into $2,000 a day, then break that down into selling

Find Someone Who Loves You For Who You Are

It can be very difficult at any age to enter into the dating scene, but it becomes different as we get older with more complications. Personally, I am 35 and once divorced. It was a very difficult journey to get myself to the point where I am now physically, financially, and emotionally. To be able to get myself where I am a whole person not dependent on another to make me whole. In my younger, egocentric mind I would seek out relationships for pleasure. Something to make me whole to give me what I thought I needed. There is a big misconception out there about love. Yes, it can absolutely be this fairy tale thing where 2 people come together to have this bond. But what it should never be is a knight in shining armor coming to rescue another person. This goes for either sex. But this is important to remember. victim + savior = toxic relationship There are plenty of people that will love you for your money. There are plenty of people that will love you f

Being True to Yourself Means Being Fearless

Got integrity? Integrity means doing the right thing or what you believe to be the right thing all of the time. This means you don’t make justifications for your actions when no one is looking. This is hard. “Oh, no one will be the wiser.” This is in part the reason that religion, specifically the all knowing, all seeing God, is not followed as much as it used to be. It gets tiresome. The idea of everything, every thought, every word, and every action has meaning. Someone is keeping tabs all of the time. That’s exhausting, but there are specific rewards you get from being true. You get to be pretty much fearless. When you know in your heart of hearts that you did the right thing given the circumstances, the knowledge, and the tools that you have at your disposal, there is no one that can oppose you. This also means you can see right through people. When lies and deceit do not exist in your life, if they aren’t your practices, you can see right through them. Th
