Choose Wisely
During these times of uncertainty in the outside world, look inside your self. Are you feeling uncertain? Are there new energies happening in your life? Are there new feelings and paths of direction to choose from? Have you been listening to your inner sense of self? Each time we undergo uncertainty in the outer world, like our neighborhood, our society, our nation or our planet, there is a reflection that is being expressed from inside. This means that the internal uncertainty we are feeling within is mirroring back to us through the events taking place outside of ourselves. When you look to the immediate events taking place within your life, can you see a pattern or a common theme? Is there a pattern attempting to get your attention? These patterns, such as uncertainty and indecision are difficult to dispel. Because we feel uncertain, we have a tendency to hesitate when making decisions, and lack trust in ourselves to choose wisely. Each time I think about this concept I am reminded of the Indiana Jones movie about the Holy Grail. When greed chooses the cup made of gold and highly decorated, death is apparent and rapid. But, when Indiana chooses from his heart and from his inner sense of being and intelligence, the knight says to him, "You have chosen wisely." Choosing wisely means uncovering the inherent patterns that wreak havoc in our internal scales of balance. When one side of the scale outweighs the other, imbalance happens. Locating the imbalance, identifying the piece out of place, then releasing it, bring balance and inner harmony once again. Uncovering these inherent patterns of imbalance can require assistance at times. When looking inside, we can be deceived by the same old internal voices and arguments we have with ourselves that justify uncomfortable belief systems. Sometimes we just keep doing it all the old way and keep thinking we are going to get a new outcome- but it never comes. We always get the same kind of result. If you never change the intake, the outcome never changes either. Remember that asking for help is an act of courage and empowerment. Stepping outside of the old ways and family traditions mean taking a leap of faith. Remember that Indiana Jones had to take the leap of faith before he was given the opportunity to choose. © 2003 Jodie Foster Jodie Foster is an Intuitive Counselor who assists clients to create extraordinary transformations in their everyday lives.

Halt All Complaining Have you ever thought about you have a lot to be thankful for. Lets look at some of the things most people don't look at: Embrace Change We all have a unique way of communicating our story, a way that reflects our life experience. The photographer uses a camera, the artist a brush, and the musician a melody or rhythm. But as the years go by our story changes. We look through a different filter, paint with a different color, sing a different song or feel a different rhythm. This past June family members came from all over the country to celebrate my son's graduation from high school. While sitting on the baseball field with picturesque mountains in the background, memories of parenting flooded my mind. I thought about how rapidly my children had changed and how I had to let go of some of my expectations in order to stay connected with them. As I eagerly awaited the moment of my son's graduation, the valedictorian read an inspiring poem and a few students performed original inspirational songs for the occasion. And then the principal addressed the students and their families. She made reference to Spencer Johnson's classic parable about change, "Who Moved My Cheese." It is a paradox of life that while our children change rapidly, we as adults try to put the brakes on the speed of change. We like to think to some degree we are in control of our life by holding on to what we're used too. "No," Hem quickly responded. "I like it here. It's comfortable. It's what I know. Besides it's dangerous out there." Johnson, Spencer "Who Moved My Cheese?" Thinking Your Way To Success: Materializing Your Goals Through The Power of Thought THOUGHTS are powerful.

It seems like there is never enough time to be had. We all wish for longer days only so we can pack them even fuller with the things we think are important.

While trying to ignore my teen daughters rap music a thought came to me. Whoever the rap artist was that she was listening to, is very positive about him self.

He used "I" statements, "I am going to be rich by the age of 24." He visualized all the material items he would like to manifest such as cars trimmed in gold, houses and yachts.

James Allen, who wrote the masterpiece, As a Man Thinketh, talks about the vital power of the mind in creating success. "All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct results of his own thoughts. In a justly ordered universe, where loss of equipoise would mean total destruction, individual responsibility must be absolute. A man's weakness and strength, purity and impurity, are his own, and not another man's; they are brought about by himself, and not by another; and they can only be altered by himself, never another. His condition is also his own, and not another man's. His suffering had his happiness are evolved from within. As he thinks, so is he as he continues to think, so he remains."
