Time to Observe....Time to Wake Up!

You gain a wealth of valuable information about a person by simply observing, as opposed to asking questions.  It's good to pose questions for information that's purely objective, but when you're wanting to gain a foothold into the core soul of a person's character and where their values lie, simply pay attention to how they're responding to the world around them.  Watch the choices they're making and the agreements that they co-sign to.

I've been amazed, but not surprised, by some of the comments and attitudes I've had the opportunity to observe from people who have the neat little hypocritical facades on during the normal course of their day.  All I can do is say "Wow"....this is truly who you are.  Now, the ego has played a great deal into the illusion of who most people have settled into being and it's such a sad state.

A person who only tags onto agreeing with the opinions that someone else has formed for them, has given up  thinking for themselves.  They feel that despite any common sense of what's being presented, with compassion and humanity, they would still prefer to tagline with the opinions of someone whom the media or cultural generations have presumed has the most appropriate/right way of doing things.

It's time that people wake up and learn to have a conscience of their own.....quit being so lazy and research and figure out that some things simply are 'just not right'.....It doesn't take a clown at a circus with a big red nose or floppy ears and big shoes to convince you that he looks funny, so why must you wait to be told when to laugh.  Do the work.....grow up......mature in wisdom......gain compassion.....accept truth......respect humanity and become better.....release ego and adopt non-judgemental lifestyles.   Do the work within and you'll be observed/and can, in turn, observe and discern and be received as a compassionate, honest, truthful and caring human being. It's really time to Wake Up!

Throw it away

 Not to diminish the reality of loss, but far too many live in the moment of something that may never happen.  Living your life begins to feel like partial paralysis, because you always have the thought that "If I give, I'll have less" which is not the appropriate mantra to live by.  When you're giving love and living your life fully, you're always a huge recipient of the joy that is being shared.

Start living each day as though it were your last.  Share the love, lessons and joy on this journey, so that it might  bring joy to someone else.  Open your hand, so that what you have to contribute might be released and what you need can enter in.

Magic words:  Throw it away....throw it away - Give your love, live your life each and every day.
...And keep your hands wide open, let the sun shine through, 'cause you can never lose a thing if it belongs to you.

Keep the Beat

There's rhythm in everything that you do.  Check your heartbeat...there's rhythm....check your footsteps....rhythm....raindrops....rhythm.....you get my point.  There is also rhythm to anything that you've made a habit of, whether it's good or bad....positive or negative. Get in the swing of continuous rhythm moving in the direction of uplift and positive vibrations.  Take inventory of your daily routines.  What have you been doing consistently? What has brought about rhythm in your life?  Perhaps, it time for you to 'change your tune' and get into the rhythm of doing those things that are in alignment with your dreams and your true life's calling.

Are you whistling while you work? Are you smiling when you're heading in the direction of what's  been routine in your life? Take inventory......check yourself.....listen to your heartbeat and listen to your heart.

How's the rhythm? Is it steady.....balanced......syncopated.....funky.....smooth......? Find the rhythm that makes your heart healthy......increase the volume of what's making you alive......and keep the beat......check the rhythm.......check yourself.......ad lib and improvise as your vision expands.

You can always adjust the tempo.......but keep the rhythm of life moving in a positive direction.

Williams, the reigning Wimbledon champion and Olympic gold medalist in singles and doubles, clawed back from a shaky second set on Arthur Ashe Stadium to earn her fourth major title in New York and 15th overall. It was the first three-set women's final in New York since 1995, and Williams came through with a late charge. She is the first woman to win Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in the same season since she did it a decade ago.

Broken .... Open

Broken Open and moving closer
to where I belong
Broken....but open to hearing
the voice that calls
for me to be all that I am.



No longer staying in a place
where the soil isn't rich
No longer willing to settle for
the smaller version of myself...

Open to allowing you to be
introduced to all that I have
to give....willingly, as I'm
Opened....

Broken Open to the sky
that I must see,
the sky that is truly blue
in my eyes....to me

Broken Open and moving closer
to where I belong
Broken....but open to hearing
the voice that calls
for me to be all that I am.

Broken Open to Being Me!© 2012 Brenda Gale
