I am responsible for what I see

I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience and I decide upon the good I would achieve. And, everything that happens to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked.

That’s hard for the ego to digest. Our ego works hard to keep us stuck in self-attack and doesn’t want to accept that we created the scenario we are complaining about. The energy we used to create a negative situation can be used to create a positive situation, if we shift from the vibration of fear to the vibration of love. But its our choice. We can choose to lash out or let go.

When we lash out against a partner, or someone we feel has unjustly accused us, it may seem like we are defending ourselves, protecting. But anger is a form of self-attack. That’s why we feel so bad after verbally railing against another soul.

We’ve all experienced this at some point in our evolution. We’re going off on someone, giving them a piece of our mind, it felt good to release on them, we felt justified. Then later, we felt terrible, maybe even had physical symptoms. Because we gave them something more valuable than a piece of our mind, we sacrificed for them the PEACE of our mind.

The ego thinks it’s helping but it’s need to compare itself to others, justify it’s actions, reinforce it’s illusion that we are better than (or less than) others is emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically harming to our being.

The miracle is that we have a choice. We can choose what we experience. We can change what we experience. We are responsible for what we see.

Self reflection

Self-reflection can be daunting. Looking at ourselves, really looking, with eyes that see clearly. We realize that often what we see in ourselves, and others, is distorted by fear. Miracles happen when we learn to look through eyes of love. 💗

Two Baristas

A real-life example of how our energy impacts others before we even speak, especially if we have had a previous interaction with them.

Two Barista’s Two Energetic Experiences:

In each experience I spoke my regular order into the large electronic device covered with enticing photos of sweet treats subliminally encouraging me to indulge in more than just a coffee and proceeded to the checkout window.

Experience #1 Monday Morning:

As I rounded the corner of the building, I noticed which barista was at the window and immediately felt a surge of positive energy. This soul is always exuding love, joy and hope. They are one of those individuals who makes you instantly feel better just by seeing them at a distance.

Experience #2 Thursday Morning:

As I rounded the corner of the building, I noticed which barista was at the window and immediately used my friend Adam’s phrase, “Armadillo! Armadillo!” to protect my energy field from the negativity that exudes from this person. The first word’s out of her mouth, spoken with a suspicious tone and head cocked to one side, “You’re awful cheerful this morning.” I continued to smile as she reminded me with a hint of dread, “But, the day is still early.” and she continued to go into detail about the bad life she was having. I continued to smile, drowning out her words as I thougt to myself, “Yes, it is still early, and I can’t wait to see what miracle it holds for me. Lord, please help this woman have a shift in perception and be able to see that life can be enjoyable.”

Our energy truly does introduce us before we even speak. May we not get caught up in other people’s negativity and may we be that soul that another soul leaps for joy to see. 😊💕

Fiery field

Photo 5/9/23 Lago Vista, Texas; inspired this poem

May my spirit be

Set a flame with a fire

No manmade thing

Can quench

May I understand

You clothe fields with

Wildflowers

Here today, gone tomorrow

Indicating how much more

You will take care of me

Your love for me

Exceeds all that I can see

Surpasses all that I can Comprehend

I am grateful

For this moment

Lift someone else up

(Sculpture in the Bahamas. Photo by @ggerbasi on Instagram )

You might bind my body
With social constraints
Drown me in a flood
Of manipulative illusions
Weigh me down with
Imagined oppression
Heap upon me
Chains heavy with lies
From the father of liars
But my Spirit will always
Find a way
To lift someone else up

something I’m not good at

Fence-sitting
Looks like a beautiful thing

Some are better at it than others
That state of indecision
Or neutrality with respect to
Conflicting positions

Indecision
The inability to make a decision Quickly
That doesn’t describe me
I can make a snap decision
And live with the consequences

Neutrality
The state of not supporting
Or helping either side
That’s not really me either
I tend to choose sides
Based on my beliefs
Upbringing or
Strong feelings

Fence-sitting
Looks like a beautiful thing

But eventually the law of gravity
Will prevail
The fence will lean

I’m not a very good fence-sitter
I’d rather choose
My direction of flight

Instead of allowing
Outside forces to dictate
Which way I go

Always learning

We didn’t know how to walk

Until we did

We didn’t know how to talk

Until we did

What if we had never tried

There are lots of things

We don’t know how to do

That doesn’t mean

We cannot do them

Growing older makes us

Wiser

It can also make us too

Comfortable

The lack of years left to live

Makes failure seem risky

Fear of trying new things

Creeps in and stifles ideas

We forget its okay

Not to know

Until we do

That’s how we started out

In this wonder filled world

Let us end that way too

Always learning

Something new

Small choices

You have greatness within you. You can achieve whatever you believe.

The quality of your health impacts how you achieve what you believe. Your level of fitness contributes to the quality of your health.

Choose to improve your health by improving your fitness. One tiny step at a time, doing what you can right where you are. Getting back on track when you’ve run off course. Raising the bar just a little bit when you’ve reached a plateau. Small every day choices can make a difference.

You have greatness within you. Allow it to shine through.
