New Direction - Something Worth Trying

[deb]

I think there are many of us that believe in the power of positive thinking. The power of our thoughts create our reality. Whatever we give the most energy, and thought, is what we become.

I've been twisted by life based upon expectations of others.

If I allow myself to take ownership of another's choice, it ultimately plays into the mind-set of "I don't deserve a better life because . . ." or "This is what always happens, so I may as well accept it."

Perhaps, taking ownership of another's actions is synonymous of "Me-ness" - It's all about me!

I've used the victim card, far too long. I've recognized this about myself for years and simply couldn't figure out how to shed this from my countenance.

Have you ever been around a dog that has been mistreated? You notice how it cowers, lowers it's head, droops its tail, as if begging, please don't hit me?

It's just as obvious when we see ourselves as that type of person. We don't want to be that way, but we're not sure how to correct others' opinions of us. They seem to play into our weaknesses and reaffirm that we are who we think we are. It's human-nature.

What is it that keeps us doing the same things over and over, expecting something different to come from it?

I'm learning from this site that it takes clarity of thought to form new ideas for myself. It is with a great deal of hope that this new direction, new ideas will work for me. But whether it does or not, at least I tried something different. By practicing something different, I WILL get different results. It's guaranteed.

I want more discipline and structure in my life. I need more structure and discipline in nurturing a greater respect for my inner voice. Thus the daily affirmations, of which I am in the process of gathering, will be said faithfully. I'll share the ones I'm using after Jan 15th.

I'll write more about this later. I'm trying to not become too lengthy. Anyone else here have a problem reading lengthy blogs?

Here's a great video that inspired me a couple of nights ago to sign up for the January 15th group.

Thank you Transforming! What a wonderful comment. I really appreciate the youtube links too. I will make sure that I get by to view them. In fact, I was viewing a Tolle video just a few nights ago at that site.

OMG!! Looking in your eyes I see a Spirit wanting to be heard yet holding back. Don't hold back you are one of the most beautiful souls i have ever seen. I know that if someone calls me a tree, that does not make me a tree. I also know that It isn't what someone thinks of me that's important it's what I think of them. I really enjoy Eckhart Tolle www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3miuaOWsj8 and
a Guru I also find helpfull http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv02LmQbEwE I'm not too computer literet Anyway; best to you. oxox

Thanks, Manyfeather, (Donna) - I'm putting greater effort into this second 100 days. I'm feeling more hopeful this time around and have a better grasp on what I want.

Good for you. You are now ready to move out of your "role" and establish a new role that is better in line with who you really are.
Be patient with yourself and give yourself a great big hug.
If I can be of help, please let me know.

Love is contagious,
Donna

Live Fully
