Changing Patterns

I have been thinking about this for a long time, and like all good thoughts, it kept coming back. 

 

We live on a planet run by cycles, by patterns of behaviour, rules (whatever you want to call them).

 

When patterns are overused they become less effective. 

 

We become reliant on that pattern to sustain - yet it is offering us a weaker solution - we have almost forgotten that the stronger solution that we can achieve is as individuals by changing the patterns and choosing what we would like to do in life - not get stuck in strong patterns for weak results.

 

Stop giving power to failure - every time we say ‘I can’t do that’ we give energy to failure - we encourage it.

 

Stop blaming - co-dependency - other person’s fault - stop giving other people power over your decisions

 

Take responsibility for your own actions in life - enjoy to do so - be secure in the knowledge that what you do in life is done to the best of your ability - and if your best is not good enough for some people - then there will be twice as many people who will appreciate your best - and bring the best out of you - keep looking - if you genuinely do try someone somewhere will appreciate you - TRYING IS GOOD.

 

It takes all sorts of people to make a world and that is no more so true than when talking about how two people can interact with each other - each person has a unique ability or special point that the other finds attractive - a bond is formed.  It is so true that no two people can make you feel the same - everyone is different - one might make your skin glow with love - another might feed your mind with the mental stimulation it requires - WE ALL BOUNCE OFF EACH OTHER IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

 

Remember that also each person has their own unique view on life - their own perspective shaped by their past experiences.  Even the simple difference between the view on the same life  - the principles are the same - two people, one tall, one short - the visual picture of their immediate surroundings will be very different - one will be able to see further because of height, but the smaller person may see the detail in life.  Its at times like that we realise that we are also here to complement each other, share what we have with each other – if we were not meant to help each other would we not have all evolved the same – the same size, the same characteristics – NO HOORAY WE DIDN’T we are UNIQUE and INDIVIDUAL.

 

What works for one will not necessarily work for another...  

 

Also remember OVERUSE of any kind results in a feeling of ‘routine’, ‘a rut’ - we know that from life - and in that situation what do we do

 

· WE CHANGE THE PATTERN

· we change the routine

· WE DO SOMETHING NEW

· WE REALISE WE HAVE CONTROL OF OUR OWN LIVES

· WE START TO LOVE OURSELVES AND OUR BODIES AND MINDS

· WE START THEN TO BE ABLE TO LOVE OTHER PEOPLE MORE

· WE LOVE THE PLANET MORE

· WE GIVE OURSELVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN OUR EYES TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES THAT WERE HIDDEN FROM VIEW BEFORE

· And the world becomes a lovely place

· A place full of opportunity

· A place full of choice, personal choice - from the choice of food to the choice of lifestyle - we can be whatever we want to be

 

HOW CAN YOU KNOW YOU DON’T ENJOY DOING SOMETHING IF YOU HAVEN’T TRIED

Where has your fear come from?

Are you not doing it because of someone else’s experience of it?

Are you not doing it because you are stuck in a ‘rut’?

Are you not doing it because you are afraid of failure?

 

FACE THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY

Is one of the best lines I know – it has helped me through situations – and I am still here, happy and more knowledgeable for the experience.

 

IF WHAT YOU ARE DOING DOES NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY

Question why you are doing it

Open your mind to new ideas and ways of getting out of it

TRY

 

EFFORT

A little word

Which packs a punch

TRY

A little word

Which has effects

HOPE

A little word

Found within

LOVE

A little word

That is closer than we think

 

We just have to SEE

We just have to realise and be honest with what makes us HAPPY

 

We also have to realise that life does not COST

Life is FREE

Why do we keep trapping ourselves with the drudge of debt?

Life costs nothing

SMILING costs nothing

Appreciating costs nothing

Caring costs nothing

Effort costs nothing

Imagination costs nothing

Looking/Investigating costs nothing

 

All of these wonderful things we have – we all have

Yet – because they are not material we don’t seem to appreciate what we have in life that does cost nothing

It is then up to us to enjoy

 

TO RELEASE OURSELVES INTO THE FREEDOM WE CAN ALREADY HAVE

– that is just waiting for us to …..CHANGE THE PATTERN
