If you're short on time, or attention span (hey, I'm not being insulting, I have ADD and my attention span is oftentimes abbreviated), because I started this like a journal, here's a synopsis:
Sick of living my life the way I have been; definitely looking for a change. A chance listen to a CD clicked, then I listened to another, different, one and....you guessed it--click again. I've been trying to make changes in my life, from the external me. These two DVDs lead me to look inside myself; to look at myself very differently. Then I started reading suggested books and noticing that all roads were leading to the same source of the changes I wanted to make, and the source was within me. Some things were hard to accept (but any lifestyle change will be that way), but when they put the metaphysical together with the physical and connected the dots, I really started paying attention. This blog is a record of my journey to my within. Join me.
IF YOU HAVE TIME...HERE'S A MORE DEFINED BEGINNING.
I've realized that, at this time of my life, I'm definitely not where I wanted to be. I'm struggling with choices, I'm debt burdened, I'm creatively stifled, and -- as I remember from a poster I hung once upon a time (author unknown) -- "God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I'm so far behind I'll never die!"
It's not that I haven't been guided to make different decisions (I really do hear that "still, small voice" and get prompts). But I've realized that I haven't been listening. Oh, but that realization has come after I started studying books and DVDs and Cd's that deal with the use of the power within.
It's also not that I haven't been interested in this subject in the past. In fact, I actually had some of the materials that were recommended by various persons, and have listened and read them time after time. I mean, I've read and listened to Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich," I have the cassette collection of Earl Nightengale's "Lead the Field," Anthony Robbins' "Unlimited Power," Dr. Wayne Dyer's "How to Be a No-Limit Person," among others. I have, in my bookcase, Anthony Robbins' "Awaken the Giant Within," Dr. Dyer's "The Sky's the Limit," and several books by Og Mandingo. as well as several more. and whatever I don't have in my library, I can get from the public library (we have an excellent one). So it's not that I haven't dipped my mind into the pool, but I've never really committed myself to practicing what I've heard/read/listened to, until last month.
This is getting wordy and if you're not already bored to death and headed to something more fun, I promise I'll try to be more concise and still get my point/feelings/musings across.
In the middle of July I picked up a CD that I'd ignored and moved around, and piled stuff on for quite some time. It was sent as a perk with a book I ordered to eliminate/cut down my debt. It was "25 Secrets to Wealth Creation" by Kevin Trudeau. "Hey, it can't hurt," I thought, so I put it in my DVD player to listen to while I cleaned my bedroom. And then, part of the way through it, I paused it and replayed a section over and over and over until I had written down every book title he recommended I read. Then I gathered the books (I already had a couple), and requested the books from the library and started reading, and listening, and reading and listening, and then last month I saw an audio book at the library that seemed to have another set of lifelines I could grab onto. The book is "5 Things a Millionaire Taught Me" by Richard Paul Evans. I checked out the book and listened to it over and over and I realized......all of these books and all of these people are saying the same thing. The control over my life, what I get, what I don't get, what will happen and what won't happen, is within myself.
Okay, long story shortened is, I'm going to keep listening and reading, and I'm going to put into practice the things they say I should do and by the end of a year (think positive), I'll be happy, I'll be healthy, I'll be wealthy, and -- who knows what else.
I've talked my husband listening to Trudeau's CD and Evan's CD, and I'm so egotistical I truly felt that he must get as involved and excited as I am because I'm going to take a trip with this, and he's either coming with me or he's not.
As a side note, my husband's creative, talented, funny, and mostly healthy, and handsome. He's also pragmatic, depressed, introverted, and he's given up on doing anything but existing for the rest of his life. I've spent the last 10 years trying many things to get him to believe in himself, and to DO things and I've finally realized I can't help him if he doesn't want to be helped. Ergo, the edict.
Okay, to end the beginning of this blog I'm just going to say that I've tried a little, and I've seen results, and I'm going to dig in and try harder. So either close this and say "she's a nut case," or follow along. Or you could make the trip yourself and we'll compare notes.
Starting September 2, 2010, I'm going to unlock the "secrets" these people have talked about; I'm going to use them and learn how to use them more and find the power within myself and maybe, just maybe, I'll achieve the things my Father sent me here to do!
