I still remember when I left my banking “career” and became a carpenter on a small island. From the first day I moved there, I would wake up in the morning and greet the sunrise through my front window and proclaim, “What a glorious day! I may not be in first place, but I’m way ahead of whatever is in second place!” I’ve never forgotten that and though my waking prayer has become much more contemplative, I awaken always grateful for where I am and for the “New” day!
Why would you even want to wake up thinking about how screwed up the day could be? Why put that out there for the universe to pick up on and reflect back to you? When we are born anew every day, we have the potential every day of building a new life. Why start it with unwanted thoughts of how it should be.
Start your day with thoughts of how it “could” be!

Do you even realize you may have a spiritual practice? Do you find yourself sitting on the front porch just staring at the evening sky lost in contemplation? Do you sit in front of the tube and realize about fifteen minutes into a show that you haven’t heard or seen a thing that was said? Or, do you find yourself sitting at a traffic light in your car not realizing the light has changed until you hear the blare of horns behind you urging you to move your arse?
Meditation is a form of spiritual practice and it could be that the universe is trying to get a message to you during these supposed lapses, or maybe it has given you a message that you’re running with and you just thought it was your idea all along.
How about your health? Where do you sit with that? Do you feel perfect health is something you have to work hard at to attain, or do you see it as your birthright? Do you try to treat your body like a temple, or do you treat it like some Mayan ruins? Do you even believe that your perfect health is attainable? Believing in yourself is at least half the success of seeing that in your life.

As a former paratrooper we were trained that when you exited the aircraft, you give a 4 second count, and look up to see if your main chute is open. Truth be told, you almost always felt a tug before you finished the count, but you looked up anyway, just to make sure it was fully functional. Luckily, the only time I ever had to pop my reserve was to climb down after I landed in the trees and was about 20 feet off the ground at final rest. Thank you God!
Life is the same way, if you just think about something and never attempt it, you’ll never know what could have been.
Carpe Diem!

What sets your soul on fire? What in you tells you that, in spite of all that may or may not have happened or may be happening around you right now, that you will succeed in whatever you are pursuing?
There is something in each one of us, that deeply tells us, not in words, but in feelings, when we’re doing something worthwhile, that it IS just that, WORTHWHILE! It may not even be for us.
It may be a selfless act for which we are never even acknowledged, but it doesn’t mater, because it was the right thing to do.
We can be assured though, that some day, in some way, karma insures that something, something will be repaid. We may never even realize it, nor do we have to, because the thing we did has, in fact, been repaid many times over already.
Cause and Effect is one of the laws that always repays us somehow. We can’t avoid it even by doing nothing, because nothing happens. How boring.
When you give yourself to life fully, life give back. We just need to accept it graciously.

When I’m peeling an onion, I often think about the phrase, “peeling away the layers,” which, of course, is what we do. I heard that often during my college career, again in my banking career, and even later, when I was a contractor, I used to peel back the layers of a house I was renovating to reveal the underlying skeleton of the structure to get a true picture of how to begin a project.
Now, when I’m speaking with a coaching client, I find myself listening while they peel back the layers of their life, so that we can find a point to build something new for them. Peeling away the layers is a process that is sometimes painful, but ultimately fulfilling, if you’re willing to stick with it, because it brings us back to ourselves. If we are willing to dive deeply into our problems, and do it objectively, and not assess blame to anyone, we may find freedom from whatever issues we may have had. When we do that, we create a void, which can be filled with something completely new.
It requires deep inquiry and a willingness to look at the times that were difficult as well as the times that were good. When you get back to the starting place where things started not to look so good, dig a little more to make sure that wasn’t just another effect of the original problem.
When you find that will you then be willing to make that change, to correct the original error and move into a new idea or direction for yourself? If you need help in finding the starting point or initial error, there are a variety of people you can speak with from spiritual or life coaches, to ministers and mental health professionals.
Change can only happen, if you’re willing to do the work. Are you ready?
