Abundance in Times of Fear

It has been a while since my last post ... life took a different road and I joined it. But for today, especially with Thanksgiving a few days away, I am reminded that even in times of fear ... of loosing, lacking or unknowing, abundance is right there. Experience has taught me that when you concentrate on maybe loosing a job, funds in the retirement account, or way of living, you get just what you were most frightened of in the first place. And coming from a place of abundance for whatever you have and the people in your life, you can never be powered by fear.

There is no doubt that we are living in challenging times yet the interesting facet is how to use this exact time to fuel our dreams, hopes and conscious outcomes. If ever there was a time to dream big, plan big, and bring all that together for the future, that time is now. Small thinking brings small results.

This year, I am powered by gratitude for the abundance in my life and the opportunity to grow from this experience.

Remembering

Last Friday, July 25'th, Randy Pausch died. He was the professor who became world known by his Last Lecture posted on YouTube. I came across his Last Lecture quite by accident and was so moved by his attitude and humor despite the fact that he did not have long to live due to his pancreatic cancer. I really couldn't imagine how he dealt with his disease given that he was young (he died at 47) and had a young family. In one of his interviews, he said that he needed to make sure that his family would be alright when he was gone. If his family should come to the edge of a cliff, he was busy making the safety nets to catch them in his remaining time.


How coincidental that he died on the day I posted about the birth day of an influential person in my life. That influential person was born on the 25'th of July, and died from cancer at the age of 47 last year.

But life happens and so does death. We are all going to die someday. So, in our remaining time, however long, we can seek out our dreams and make them real or we can just idle our time until THAT day.

I am busy dreaming, thank you.

A Time of Celebration

I haven't written in a while, too much going on or maybe just plain lazy. But today is a special day ... the birthday of someone who was very influential in my life. I chose to write today about how life is what we make it. Yes, I said that ... like everyone doesn't know that already. But really, I am not sure we understand the depth of that statement. We are the co-creators of our life, all the good stuff and not so good stuff and everything in between.

Since there are no co-incidences in life (and yes I truly believe that!), you have to wonder about life, your life, all your experiences, joys and sorrows. These are all the things you have cleverly placed in your life to move through this journey. Heck, if I had known that earlier, I might have made different selections ... or not.

So on this date, I am grateful of all the people and things that have entered into my life for it is that combination of events and happenings that have made me who I am. I think for the better.

And, to that effect, many thanks dear friend, for your insight, compassion and outrageous love of life. If I have any lesson in life to learn, it is to appreciate the moment with gusto and be filled with joy.

Summer Solstice

Today is the first day of summer ... the longest day of daylight hours. Amazing as this marks the solstice, a celebration of life and abundance. And, as we move through our lives in whatever way we choose, I remember those who are not with us physically any more and how their spirit guides us and offers us serenity. A big thanks for another year ... another abundant time ... another period of possibilities.

Full Circle

Two years ago, I started the first Chi & Me blog, and through a series of events, it was time to move on. So, here I am back, two years to the day. I hope this blog is long standing and will bring information, thoughts and hope to people who are trying to build a business in these times. Through the power of the law of attraction, I have arrived here and ready to suit up and do cosmic attraction for the success and nurturing of so many people who are trying to put forth their own version of reality. I salute you today and have plans for many more posts. Celebrate with me.
