Whispering My Name

the clouds blow away. my eyes remain open, lights shines returns. his words speaks out

What's Stopping You

noreply@blogger.com (Struggling Parents) — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 22:57:00 +0000

What if the things you thought would hold you back actually were to provide you with new ways to move forward? What if within your greatest annoyances you could find your greatest effectiveness?

Instead of fighting against the perceived obstacles, take a closer look at them. Somewhere within each obstacle is a pathway for moving forward.

Consider that it's not the obstacle itself that's stopping you. What's stopping you is your assumption that you can be stopped.

Yet you can change that assumption. You can choose to find a successful way through the situation, whatever it may be.

The various challenges that come your way can be quite intimidating. Yet when you let go of the intimidation, you'll see that those very same challenges are filled with opportunities.

Embrace those obstacles, embrace those challenges. For they are essential components of your eventual achievement.

Making The Effort

noreply@blogger.com (Struggling Parents) — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:42:00 +0000

When you get the results you're after, that's great. When the results fall short of your expectations, that's great too because you gain valuable knowledge and experience.

If you're going through a difficult stretch, keep going and you'll get yourself beyond it. If you're getting unsatisfactory results, keep making the effort, keep getting results and as you grow more effective with each attempt, you'll eventually get it just right.

With each action you take, you make a difference. The more experience you have at making a difference, the more skillful you become at making that difference exactly what you want it to be.

Look back at how far you've come since you started. See and understand how even the disappointing results have helped you to find your way forward.

With every effort, regardless of the outcome, you've made a step in the direction of the results you seek. Always expect the best, no matter what has happened before, for your results will move steadily toward your expectations.

Keep going, keep making the effort, keep making a difference and keep getting results. Each day, each action brings you ever closer to the goal.

Fully Experience

noreply@blogger.com (Struggling Parents) — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:46:00 +0000

The way to be respected is to be respectful. The way to be heard is to listen.
What do you wish to experience? Give it to others, and you will surely find it appearing and growing stronger in your own life.
To make a positive impression, find the qualities that are positive and valuable about every person you meet. What you send is amplified through the lives of others and comes back to you without fail.
Every day is filled with opportunities to offer genuine and meaningful kindness. The more of those opportunities you follow and fulfill, the richer your life becomes.
Advantages built on brute force and deception will crumble quickly. Achievements built on kindness, respect, understanding and love will continue to grow in value and influence.
Give, and as you do you'll be able to give more and more. The life of your dreams is now yours to give, and to fully experience.

Far Away

noreply@blogger.com (Struggling Parents) — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 18:37:00 +0000

"Far Away"

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Do the work to make them real and you'll find great
fulfillment along the way.

are, they always make a difference.

The world is filled with noise and confusion. But it does
not ever have to distract you from what means the most to
you.

Again and again, connect with those real and lasting values.
When times are good, and when times are tough, they will
always serve you well.

Your life is a beautiful and precious thing. Live the
beauty, live the value, and live the substance of your most
magnificent dreams.

It can be easy to become comfortable, and that comfort can then become a trap. Though comfort feels nice, it can also hold you back from being your best. After a while, as good as it can feel, comfort will become stale and tedious. You have a fundamental need for growth that, sooner or later, must be fulfilled.Instead of using the comfort you've achieved as a refuge from life, use it as a platform from which you will have the confidence to reach even higher. When you're feeling comfortable, see it as an opportunity to raise your standards.No matter what level you've reached, you are always capable of reaching even higher. What a shame it would be to miss out on life's biggest opportunities just because you wanted to stay comfortable.Think back on all the times in your life when you've made the greatest progress. Although those times very likely felt uncomfortable, look at all the wonderful and valuable things you accomplished.Enjoy the comfort you've earned, and then step boldly beyond that comfort. For there's no end to the real value and joy that you can create.Picture of my grandson Ryan

Enrich Your Life

noreply@blogger.com (Struggling Parents) — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:21:00 +0000

Even when the pain is great, the goodness in your life is
greater. Feel that goodness, wrap your awareness around it,
and act on it.

You have always known what joy feels like, and you can
always allow that joy to flow out through your life. Each
joy lives again, even more intensely, every time it is
recalled.

Gently let go of the beliefs that you need this thing or
that situation. Your spirit is always free to soar without
limit, no matter what.

And when it does, when you allow the joy, when you celebrate
the goodness, you bring real value to all that is around
you. Instead of pretending that your troubles are an excuse
to back down, see that they're actually an opportunity to
enrich your life.

Every beauty exists solely because you see it as such.
Choose to see the beauty woven through all that is.

The love in your life is greater than anything that might
seem to bring you down. Allow that love to carry you forward
no matter what.

Picture is of mee & my
2nd grandson Ryan

Enjoying Life

noreply@blogger.com (Struggling Parents) — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 20:41:00 +0000

There's no reason to feel the least bit guilty about enjoying
life. If life were not to be enjoyed, then how would it be
possible to enjoy anything?

You are here to see the beauty, and to enjoy it. You are
here to feel the love, and to delight in it all.

You are here to be aware of how magnificent it is to be
aware. You are here to experience what it means to exist.

There is great enjoyment to be found it life's pleasures.
There is also unique enjoyment to be found in the challenges
and the difficulties, and in working your way through them.

Fully experience and enjoy the ups and downs that come from
passionately following your purpose. Find real joy in an
endless variety of situations, and truly know what it means
to live.

The more you enjoy your own life, the more joy you have to
give to all of life. Live, enjoy, and spread your
magnificent joy far and wide.

Outside Your Comfort Zone

noreply@blogger.com (Struggling Parents) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 04:11:00 +0000

Being comfortable can be nice and pleasant. Yet too much
comfort can softly and steadily erode your sense of purpose
and even your most treasured dreams.

Being too attached to comfort can prevent you from venturing
forth and fulfilling your best possibilities. In order to
maintain your level of comfort, you may well be tempted to
compromise the values you hold dear.

Enjoy the comfort that you have attained, while being
careful not to let that comfort become a prison. As nice as
comfort can be, so much of life's richness lies outside the
boundaries of your comfort zone.

As with most things in life, comfort is best when it is
experienced in moderation and balance. Even comfort loses
its desirability when it is the only thing you ever
experience.

Enjoy and be truly thankful for the comforts in your life.
At the same time, balance those comforts with real and
demanding challenges.

Maintain a comfortable place in your world from which you
can regularly emerge to take on the risks and challenges
that will add so much richness to life. Outside your comfort
zone, there are always new dreams waiting to be lived.
