Feeling irritated at not just a marketer or two, but also at myself, I keep remembering some advice I lent to a friend of mine: to set myself above petty irritations and get on with my life. However, I find that I get irritated with the whole thing at times. I just want to lie down and sleep.  I can't watch the videos on growing my business; I can't stand their voices. I don't believe a word they are saying. I don't believe they are sincere. Everybody is just saying the same things.  They don't care squat about me - just want make sure they get paid.  I feel so dissappointed with it all.  But one thing is certain, we unknowns need to be friends with those guys and we need to know what they are doing, but I'm having a hard time getting through the videos and courses.  Nothing new really, but I need to be receptive to start applying these concepts and ideas effectively in my life and in my business.

I selfishly complained about my petty worries and problems - I suppose I was justifying my failures and a temporary slack in life.  But then I came into another frame of mind and don't want to syndicate my sorrows anymore, so I have deleted those complaints and will address the problems of hiring contractors and sub-contractors in another post later on. I will then address the things we need to do to ensure we get what we want done and keep these relationships running smoothly.  Also, I addressed some problems when handing over a house you have sold to the new owners, and also touched upon some of the difficulties involved with a divorce and the monetary issues that can insue when there are children involved.  I would like to address learning how to have a harmonious relationship with your ex for your own piece of mind, but also for your children's.

Reading a book that literally dropped on my feet as I was moving, I was reminded about how our thoughts create our reality.  When your reality has been like mine was, it seems that it's not an easy thing to accept, or even to change.  It seems a little to easy to credit or blame one's total reality on one's thoughts, alone.  We are not an island and are affected by the total sum of thoughts swimming around in the Universe of our choosing, but these thoughts and even many situations can take a lot of time to change.  So perhaps we are affected by our thoughts, but on several "levels" and time must have something to do with this, as well. Not just this lifetime, but even other lifetimes (if you would take reincarnation into effect).

 
It feels comforting to be able to blame someone else for my misery.  This only works as long as I can see myself as being a creature of outside conditions. But if I am a creative individual, owning the power to create my life, then I am "The Captain of my Soul"… and have no one else to blame.  So then we have will-power, and sometimes it feels as if I am banging my head against  a brick wall.  One author says that "thought and character are one" so if I have "good thoughts" that means I have a "good character" and that I have a "good life" because as this author puts it: " Good thoughts and actions can never create bad results".  So if I believe this, then I guess I have to expulge myself of all these negative thoughts…

I am attaching a book for you: As A Man Thinketh, and I promise to come with a wonderful post tomorrow for your Christmas weekend.

Give me some time to learn how to get this online… within a day or two.

Let us create a wonderful reality together,
