My Thoughts feed my Soul 15 November 2013

My Thoughts feed my Soul     15 November 2013
I am delighted to have Oprah back in my life!! Although I have MANY American based issues personally, I love her style and her passion for her work.  Have you watched Super Soul Sunday?
   My introduction to Bishop TD James just blew me away!  I am not one for the Rah-Rah, as my friend Di puts it…but looking past the profuse sweating, spitting  and shouting, as he builds up to his crescendo – his message made a LOT of sense to me. This is my interpretation of his “Life Class”
      Relationships – Relationships – Relationships! Most important, the relationship with Self. Am I really honest with myself?  Am I denying a part of who I am?  The more I push it away – the stronger this part will fight to be recognized and acknowledged. 
     We tend to project our Ideal Self when we meet someone and somehow manage to keep up ‘the imagine’ for the longest time, even into a Life partnership agreement. (Marriage or Business) I believe this is mostly unconscious, as we really do aspire to be this person we project.   It is only after the ‘honeymoon’ phase passes, that we start showing our REAL self!  As the Bishop says:  One morning you wake up and wonder:  who is this person next to me?  This leads to obvious unhappiness and strife and usually ends in going our separate ways.  
    When we meet people:  Who are they attracted to, who are we attracted to?  A projected illusion?  We can’t hope to find THE ONE until we get on the path back to the authentic self, our Core.  
      “Your power is not where you are now – it is where you have been”. It is time to get rid of the clutter, guilt and shame – so that we can recognize the gifts of all the lessons we have already learnt.  Past hurt/disappointment/guilt are the lessons of growth. It is part of who we are! This is what makes us human, this is what makes us attractive and makes us the perfect life partners for that special person. Regardless of the muffin top and the cards of imperfections dealt to us, it requires creative out of the box thinking, to make the best of it! It really is quite funny – we take ourselves FAR too seriously!
      It is our choice to create a new space of freshly toiled soil, to sow the seeds of our creative IDEAS and INSPIRATIONS (based on our thoughts).  We choose who we cultivate within.
        LIVE YOUR REAL LIFE NOW – BE THE REAL YOU NOW – stop wasting precious time – you are missing your life!  Time is irreplaceable – you need to maximise what you have now – acknowledge what you have now. Why are we so needy to hear the praise of what others think?  Those are other peoples’ thoughts.  If we search for someone to like our thoughts, we put our destiny into the hands of someone else. Feed yourself with your own thoughts of approval and self-worth.
“I am no greater than the thoughts I think .”   Invite the Spirit of Grace and Gratitude and smell the freshly prepared soil as you sow the seeds!
