BEING & DOING Your Best!

I find it interesting that in the last few days I have had a couple of things come to the fore. One was a NEW sign on the side of the rubbish bin down by the park going to the beach… it read “Do not leave valuables in your car”. With a picture of a thief with a bag running away from a parked car. I find it unfair to have to be told to not leave my things in my car. It struck me instantly that perhaps the sign should read… “Be a good citizen and Do not take things that do not belong to You.”  I thought that this was more apt in the times we are in, with the need to change the consciousness and the thoughts that are happening in peoples minds which are the things creating each and every persons reality. Does the sign therefore excuse the person who does take something from a car just because it was left in there? I understand it is a precautionary measure and there is definitely a psychology behind statements like that, but one statement I feel somehow condones the thiefs behaviour by putting it on the persons whose belongings they may be, where as the other one questions the thiefs individual integrity in life.

I ponder on this… the statements being opposites and energy and power through use of words, what effect does each one have? And in which direction do the words in the differing statements lead our world. Which way ultimately do we want the world to go and should we therefore being putting that out there more and more. I say this because this was a new sign put up in the last couple of days…and we are in new times, how do we want to move forward? Can we now get to people more through their conscience? If the world is being compassionate and caring and responsible towards everything and everyone else then surely the energy that goes with that can help to heal?

A friend had her handbag taken while overseas too in the last few days and it reinforced that it is always happening and what is it now that needs to be done to change the actions of these people. We are all here to do our own part to help in this world and what is it we are doing to help change the prevalent mindsets and to help with elimination of Fear. I have always said that words have power and I feel again maybe we need to revisit the use of signs and what they say to the public. Do signs like the one I saw just add to the problem? And what is it the people who take others things really need? What is it that society is lacking in order for these things to be happening and more to the point What can we do about it?

The world is full of opposites and everything can be looked at in different ways… which way do you all want to look at things from here on in? We are all trying to get somewhere, find a greater sense of self, to get away from our continual state of unease. Wherever we fall on the spectrum we are all striving for something. It is all embedded in the mind… we have to move past the mind and the mental noise that limits us and move to a more heightened state of awareness. Step out of the conditioned mind the conditioned sense of self. Step out of that into a fuller embodiment of self and consciousness. Be fulfilled in this moment. Everything arises out of either fear or desire… which means we are not at ease… we need to look for the stillness and ease.

Do we want to look at things with a positive spin so that good energy is put out there and can lift the vibe and in turn generate its own good energy or do we constantly look at things from a negative/ darker perspective? How do you find it for yourself... when you get stuck in a way of being about something in a negative way does it help to grow you, uplift you, energise you and make everything seem possible or does it do the reverse? And how does looking at things in a positive, uplifting, nurturing towards self and others and nature and the world make you feel? Does it make everything seem better, can you get on with your day easier? Are you able to function more and get more stuff done and things don’t so quickly and readily bring you down? What is it we are after in this life? Are you after a happy, loving, carefree, compassionate, energetic, fun filled life? How then can you look at things in a different light to create the life for yourself that you have always wanted.

Being present in the moment and at ease. Essence of the old state of consciousness is always trying to get away from where you are right now… observing it and being aware and alert completely present and open to the aliveness of this moment. Life energy. Energy that sustains the whole universe. Stillness, alertness, presence… they are all one. How do we as humans help each other to do that… feels to me we are all striving for the same outcome however in different ways and in order for it to be easier for everyone to do, then we are going to need everyones support. You know how a smile can help to boost someones day, well imagine how much good, nurturing, supportive, encouraging energy could do for you and others.

We all need to look within and help ourselves with perhaps changing our mindset on things, let things appear to be lighter and easier and energy giving and they will be. What you focus your mind on you create, so let’s all focus on the good stuff and encourage each other to do the same. What a wonderful world we can create if we can do this. Each taking our own actions towards betterment and in turn helping each other and in turn helping the world and all its inhabitants. Why throw doubt in there… again it’s just a mindset and it’s again a fear to stop things from progressing forward and up… we can all learn from each day and each experience and from the history of the world and each others stories… we are all unique yet all so inextricably intertwined, our energies all affect each others and the world around us too.

I feel strongly about my responsibility and what I do here everyday at the Gallery and what my whole purpose in life is, I know from the depths of my heart and my soul and my being that we are going to make a difference in the world and we will all go about it in a wonderfully different ways. We can help all to eliminate the fear and go forth in life with passion strength and courage and like the show I did for the year of the Tiger… express yourself, go forth with the passion and fire within, to have the strength, courage, and conviction to follow your dreams with the power of the Tiger as our guiding force and light to be all that we can be, to be our best selves and love ourselves fully and completely and take care of ourselves fully and completely and live the glorious life that we deserve and in turn help all others to do the same and to heal the world and everything in it and move to a higher place of being within ourselves and without… oh what a wonderful world!

It is also my goal.. to help people.. to get everyone to look at another side…. Try to find out what we can do each and every one of us to make a healed, loved cherished and compassionate world... make everyone believe in themselves, to aid and help each other in this world… til we are all awakened to a better way of life… it is very important right now as the main time as any to do something about, and it is speeding up, faster and faster which is exciting and going to be an amazing thing but also as a world we have to eliminate the fear and celebrate the positive in all life we have to support each other, support the world and all its inhabitants, we all have to support the ‘World Vision”… this is where I come in on a personal level to help each individual person with their self expression inside and out and to be truly aware of themselves and all that they are and all that they can be!!! To be the best they can be and everything comes to them…
