Being Real

Recently I was challenged by some people close to me that they saw me in a different way than I did. I initially took this as a bad thing. I went way reflecting on the comments. I was asking myself things like, am I trying to be someone else other than myself. Am I trying to be someone that I am not really. Who am I? I SPENT a whole week asking myself these questions. The answer that I cam back with is that yes I am being me. I am not trying to be someone and or something that I am not.
Then that rose the question, why am i different things to different people. I am not the same in all situations. Was I being honest to myself and or the people I associate with? The answer is....sometimes.
The reflecting led to am I being genuinely authentic all the time. I know it is easy to be authentic on the big things...but what about the small day to day things. When I am walking on the beach and want to sing aloud? Am I holding it in and thinking, arrgghh people will think I am silly or am I bold enough to say nope that is what I want and sing on the beach no matter what?
For me as I continue to reflect on this question I believe I may have spent too long holding my thoughts in and not sharing them with the universe and those around me. It is time to stand up and be counted.
This is my day. This is my gift. This is my chance to shine. I am seizing the day. I encourage you to be real and make the day the way you would like it to be.

Till next time...be real

Who is the person in the mirror?

What do you say to your self when you look in the mirror? What things do you see? Do you see someone merely looking back dreding what lies ahead of you this day? Do you see a fire burning from within eagerly wanting to get stuck into the day?
No matter what our definitation if success is, our self talk to the man in the mirror is vital. We must be like our own body/ mind guard.
The aim of a bouncer is to keep unwanted people out of the area. Therefore we too must ensure we don't have unwanted thoughts entering our body too. We can underpin years of work if we allow the wrong thoughts to enter our mind.
What if I am just living day to day?
Then being living the life you want in your mind. Don't wait for the big break. Create it. Start by grooming yourself to the highest standard today. Don't wiat for Sunday to dress your best. No longer let the people around you set the standard. You be the change you want. Start seeing yourself walking, talking and breathing as you will be and in fact as you are in the process of becoming.
The time you spend in front of the mirror is vital.. The thoughts you think and the words you say are shaping the day that is unfolding in front of you.
There used to be an advertisment of a cat looking into mirror. What was reflected in the mirrow was not a kitten but an adult lion. He had insight. What are you seeing? What are you saying? You were born for this day. Start projecting ideas, thoughts and concepts to the man in the mirror.

Pictures

What images have you got in your head. They say a picture is worth a Thousand words. However is it? If there were a picture of a family walking onto the sub way...we would assume it was just another Sunday morning. However lets look a bit closer. The father has just come from the Hospital where his three boys where told that their mother has passed away. The boys enter the sub way where thye run riot....not out of naughtiness but simply I'm hurting and need to let my emotions out. The image of the family entering the Subway isn't worth the paper its printed on. What about your own life. What images can you see? Are these memories you want. You are in control of what enters and remains in the front of your mind. You create your own reality. Stop tinking the picture is the b all and end all. Start forming the images ypu want. Take action as you are the director.

Till next time happy picture taking and creating.
