No dream too late to be realized

How old are you? Are you in your twenties and focusing on the possibilities that exist for you? Are you in your thirties and living in the moment? Could you be in your fifties and feeling a bit of regret that your dreams and your best days are behind you? Your day is now, as is your moment. And there is no dream we have without the ability of making that dream come true. That’s true for each and every one of us, without exception, regardless of our age or stage. Yes, you and I have had our dark moments, moments that may have made us feel that we can’t make our dreams come true. Don’t let the dark moments stop you. Remember that ours is a world built on night and day: We can’t enjoy the day without the night.
So dream on! Move inch by inch towards living the life of your dreams. Don’t give up and you’ll succeed, just like Miss Susan Boyle.
Namaste,
Rita

Women Against Sarah Palin

http://womenagainstsarahpalin.blogspot.com/
It's not so much that I'm against Sarah Palin as it is I'm Pro-American and Pro-Women, and I don't believe Ms. Palin's views support our country in an intelligent and competent manner.
Please remember to be the change you wish to see in the world.
Namaste,
Rita

Things that make me go Ahhhhhh!

Mind is the master power that molds and makes,
And we are Mind, and evermore we take
The tool of thought, and shaping what we will,
Bring forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills.
We think in secret, and it comes to pass –
Our world is but our looking glass.

Shaolin Soccer (part 11)

The other day, I was sort of watching the movie “Shaolin Soccer” with my daughter. I say “sort of” because I walked in half way, had seen the movie before, and my mind was wandering. If you haven’t seen this movie, it’s definitely worth the watch and if you don’t want me to give anything away, stop reading this piece now and don’t check out the little video attached.

Towards the end of the movie you see the various players wearing yellow jerseys (the good guys) on the soccer field being whipped by the the players wearing black (the bad guys). Each good guy tries to stop the soccer ball, but is eventually stopped by the soccer ball himself. With less than the required players left on the field and a forfeit imminent, a female comes to the rescue masquerading as a male player. She doesn’t know the first thing about soccer and looks like a disaster waiting to happen. Then one of the bad guys kicks one of the deadliest of all balls her way. It looks like curtains for this well-meaning woman and the rest of the good guys. But when the ball reaches her, instead of trying to stop it, she simply uses the energy of the ball to turn it around and send it to the other side of the soccer field. I could go on and on about the story, but you really should see it for yourself and that really isn’t the point of this piece.

The point is if you simply try to stop something, anything, you merely are giving it power and will bring it that much closer to you and it may very well defeat you. On the other hand, if you work with what you don’t want by acknowledging it and setting it free, you will empower yourself, not the thing you don’t want.

You’ve got the power!
