Image Nation and The Blame Game

Probably one of the easiest escape routes that we know as human beings is blame.

“My business would be fine if Washington would just lower the tax rate”

“My boss always liked her better, of course she got the raise.”

“Can you believe that test, the teacher was totally unfair and put a bunch of stuff on their we never learned”

“But officer I didn’t see the red light because of the glare from the sun”

It has almost become routine to blame something or someone for our follies. Why take responsibility when we can easily duck and dodge it while maintaining your pristine image.

We have turned new genre of image casting despite character. Truly a new “Image Nation” with Facebook and twitter allowing us to build a profile that looks so amazing with out any questioning of the substance behind it.

How do you change? It has to start inside. Yes with you. Actively choosing to take responsibility means identifying each time you pass blame. Routinely catching yourself as you start to point a finger. The change starts in the heart… you know, right now, what you’re not taking responsibility for. Take action today, but watch out, you might just get in touch with you. You might discover your weak spots and make a change. You might end up having nothing left over to point a finger at. You might just end up being responsible for you!

Purpose Behind the Problem

Too many times a problem can consume.  It can ruin a day or week or longer if you let it.  It changes attitude, outlook and can pull you from your true purpose.  Suppose the problem was actually the solution.  A necessary step to allow abundance in your life.  What if life was all about the problems and how you chose to deal with them?

A life void of problems would also lack purpose.  Choose to embrace problems as a necessary step in life.  You can’t control what comes your way, but you can control how you handle it.  Stack on the problems, buckle down and move forward toward your purpose.  What a journey it will be!

What do you believe?

What do you believe?.

What do you believe?

Have you ever had something just visit you over and over again until you realize that maybe you should take a closer look? Recently, this has been the case for me on the topic of beliefs. I have began to realize that most, if not all people (including myself) hold a set of beliefs that guide their actions daily. Some of you would say “of course” but what about the beliefs that keep so many paralyzed in life? Beliefs that may have been such a long part of one’s life that it has become truth. So much so that every part of you holds this belief as reality. Try these on for size:

I’m not pretty enough, creative enough, smart enough, tall enough, healthy, capable, or you fill in the blank. Are you accident prone, are you cancer, fat, skinny, fibromyalgia, broke, heart disease, diabetic, bad with money, bankrupt, divorced, tired all the time, a bad husband or wife, bad father or mother? How about anti-social, lazy, too slow, distracted, attention deficit, hyperactive, too analytical, worrywart, anxious, scared or thousands of more that I have missed.

You see everyday beliefs are thrown at us like darts at a dart board. You may adapt and become some and shun others. What beliefs have you become? Are they true? If you believe them to be true then this becomes your reality. Why not identify and challenge these beliefs? Did somebody put this belief on you? Television, a teacher, a parent, a friend? Regardless of the source, these disempowering beliefs are guiding you actions today. They have defined you without your permission.

If you want to make a real change in your life let go of your most dis-empowering beliefs, give them up and adopt more empowering and healthy beliefs. Fulfill your life, your dreams, your aspirations. People do it everyday. Choose the more empowering beliefs that fit you better. In fact, it might just be the way God made you.

Diet Television

Did you know that what you eat can impact your health?  Fruits and vegetables and everything functions well.  Cookies, chips and fast food… well you know the story, but what about what you feed your brain.  In many cases you don’t have a whole of control of what comes through your television.  You may pick a show that seems harmless only to be left with a barrage of commercials leaving you feeling frustrated or inadequate as these messages compel you to buy their products.

Just as fast food can be unhealthy, too much television can be just as detrimental.  Try cutting back and notice the positive changes.  Change in thoughts, imagination, dreams, attitude and more. Time to switch to diet television for less impact.

In health,

Lost Imagination

Has the buzz of a busy life become a roar that has drowned out your imagination. I think this happens all too often. Sometimes it makes sense to take time and relax and let the your imagination flow. You may be amazed at what happens.

You can imagine
+++++++++++++++++++

Imagination never runs out. Go ahead and use it freely, for
the more you make use of it, the more you’ll have.

Every experience gives you more substance on which to base
your imagination. And whatever you imagine provides you with
possibilities for even more beautiful experiences.

Don’t limit yourself to merely imagining what is reasonable.
Though reason certainly has its place, it quickly grows
stale without fresh infusions of free and untamed
imagination.

You can imagine anything, so make positive and meaningful
use of your powerful imagination. You can imagine anything,
so imagine your way to a life of joy and fulfillment.

Your imagination is truly a powerful skill, and yet once you
imagine that is not the end of it. For not only can you
imagine, you can take whatever you imagine and find a way to
bring it to life.

Let yourself imagine the best you can imagine. Imagine a
world so beautiful and compelling that you cannot help but
do all that’s in your power to make it real.

Just For Today

Living for today is a hard concept.  The deadlines of tomorrow and the unfinished business of yesterday keep today as just a space in time.  No attention or focus on what has been giving us but looking over today into what tomorrow will bring.  Shocking that tomorrow is never guaranteed yet it’s were we all tend to want to be.  But “just for today”, make a change!

Just For Today

By Sibyl F. Partridge

1. Just for today I will be happy.  This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, “most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”  Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.

1. Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires.  I will take my family, my business and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.

1. Just for today I will take care of my body.  I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.

1. Just for Today I will try to strengthen my mind.  I will learn something useful.  I will not be a mental loafer.  I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

1. Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways; I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out.  I will do at least two things I don’t want to do as William James suggests, just for exercise.

1. Just for today I will be agreeable.  I will look as well as I can, dress as becoming as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to regulate nor improve anyone.

1. Just for today I will try to live through this day only, not to tackle my whole life problem at once.  I can do things for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep them up for a lifetime.

1. Just for today I will have a program.  I will write down what I expect to do every hour.  I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it.  I will eliminate two pests, hurry and indecision.

1. Just for today I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself and relax.  In this half-hour sometimes I will think of God, so as to get a little more perspective into my life.

1. Just for today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love, and to believe that those I love, love me.

The Amazing Machine

Can you imagine a machine that could heal your condition? Just type in the right combination and cells react, repairing broken tissue, attacking cancerous cells or mending a broken bone. A machine that regulates how many breaths you need for healing or one that beats your heart just enough to circulate the blood to areas in demand.

A machine this advanced could also send signals to its operator to slow it down or enter a sleep mode so updates could be downloaded. It would be an amazing machine.

One could imagine such a machine in the nicest establishments. It could cut healthcare costs for millions. Undoubtedly, people would invest large sums just to have one and would go to great measures to take excellent care of it. Maintenance would not be a question, it would be a necessity and cost would be no issue.

The demand for such a machine would be so great that suppliers could not keep up. Even more amazing is that this type of machine exists today. It exists within you. This amazing machine is YOU.

You will perform more functions in a day than any mega computer could attempt in a life time. You are the only machine known to man that can actually heal itself. The envy of all healthcare, every doctors and scientist. You were born with this ability, now you just have to take care of it!

The Power of Positive

Positive thinking can influence every aspect of your day.  The power of positive will influence your actions, your words and even your relationships.  If you don’t believe this try the opposite.  Try focusing on the negative.  Talk about what is going wrong in the world.  Point out all the flaws in your spouse  and reflect on all the you children have done wrong.  Sounds absurd doesn’t it?  The sad truth is that this how the majority go through a day.

Positive words have been shown to resonate at higher frequencies.  Studies have shown that words carry an energy.  See:

You have the power to speak things into action.  Not just a bunch of hype or weekend seminar mumbo jumbo.  True life giving words.  Think about it.  Besides what’s the alternative.

Starving America

After reading a blog (1) about the potential benefits of Goji berry waiting for medical “corroboration” I realized that we are no different then the countries that we provide aide to.  I mean the disease infested, poor villages.  You know the picture of the kids starving for food, holding on to life with the infestation of flies around their failing bodies.

At first look this may seem outrageous.  How could America be compared to the likes of starving children in Africa?  Take a look…

• Overall health ranking is 38th and has not improved in 4 years (World Health Organization)
• Chronic disease accounts for 60% of all deaths every year.  Over 35 million people.
• Childhood obesity has tripled in the last 2 decades quadrupling chronic disease for children in the past 4 decades
• 3/4 of healthcare dollars are spent of chronic diseases (1.7 trillion dollars annually)
• By 2023 it is projected that Cancer will rise 62%, Diabetes 53%, Heart Disease 41% and Stroke by 29%

So I contend, even though the perceptions of America are one of abundance with mounds of food available, we are a starving country left riddled with chronic disease.  Consuming massive amounts of “food” yet physiologically our bodies are starving for nutrition.  Bodies are breaking down and expressing the highest disease rates we have ever seen.

Are we any different then the poor 3rd world countries?  In abundance, yes.  When it comes to suffering, well at least we have a fly free, air conditioned hospital to die in.

Feed yourself America and start to define the difference between food and nutrients.
