Focus on the flower

Hi

Focus on the flower, not the thorns.
Focus on the flower
the flowers
and then
everything keeps comin' up roses and petals of joy

Love

God is love
It is not a matter of God loving me
It is a matter of me connecting to the love that is constantly there for me to allow to flow through me
It is not that I am loved
It is that I allow the love
how to do this
be here
how to do that?
be grateful in this moment for anything / something / anything
feel the gratitude, and I will be in the present moment
and I will be one
the love will flow

Dream or Goal or just something in the distance

Set a goal that excites me, Apple.
Think about it, does it move me?
If not, then the path to get there will feel boring.
But a goal that inspires me will generate enough fire to get me through the boring parts.
Keep focused.
I have 10 years to build a software company with many many product that people love to use and derive great utility from.
I generate revenue from many streams that flow together to become a surging river.
I am not here forever. Do it now.

gratitude now

to access gratitude, be here in the present moment. gather yourself. all of you, here now.
open arms and gather in.

pull it all together and make a decision
stop letting life run me. run life. make a decision.

Happiness on the list of things to do

There is always something to do before I get to the Happy item on the list of things to do and clear out.
Happiness is never urgent, does not take priority, and it always reserved for when things are perfect.
there is always something more important to do right now than take in this moment, be grateful and be happy. I put other people ahead. I put survival ahead.
before gratitude chopping wood
after gratitude chopping wood
let's chop and be happy

Addictive substance defined

An addictive substance - you want it when you feel good, and you want it when you feel bad. you just want more.
An addict - you want the stuff when you feel good, and you want it when you feel bad. somehow you want to regain a certain comfort zone, even if it is uncomfortable. that's your homeostasis. growth is when you're able to get out of a comfort zone, and create a new one.

chemistry is more powerful than prayer. but prayer affects chemistry. it just depends on how you access your chemistry. food and stimulants are much easier than prayer. but an effective thought that is inspiring does change your chemistry. and without side effects. it is just easier to eat than it is to stop and think and consider.


do not think about the sh'ma. I do it. then I am not, an Idiot.

thinking about prayer is not he same as doing it.

pray about the same thing daily. the sh'ma is about love. do it daily and become one with love. Build something so that in 20 years time I embody the sh'ma. thinking about it will not do it. Doing it will.
Do it to Become it. 

Food & nourishment

I need some soul food today - something that powers me through the day.

I need a line that wires me up, connects. me.

What will it be?

A sweet frangipani perhaps?
