As experiences play out in this journey called Life understand that in a moments notice that things can shift and change. But for many it happens with no conscious effort on their part. To them it just seems that is how Life is…that Life can happen on a whim.
Here is a great example; you go buy a newspaper stand and take a quick look and read the headlines that were put there on purpose to create some kind of reaction from you so that you will purchase and read the paper. Whether you buy the newspaper or not and move on with your day you have taken a mental and emotional notation in your consciousness.
And you don’t do anything about it!
The same thing goes to listening to others while they express their fears and concerns…and it doesn’t have to be directly at you. It can be something you just over heard while walking by a conversation.
Here is a powerful suggestion that will have you live more consciously and aware, but most importantly open the door to other possibilities instead of accepting an uncomfortable experience that you see, hear or feel.
As you go through the experience tell your Self “I allow my Self to BE different”. So what are you doing?
In that moment you are recognizing what is going on in your Life so that you are aware enough to pause and say, “I allow my Self to BE different” which creates the possibility of the next moment(s) to be different rather than run the course of the uncomfortable situation.
This all about empowering your Self and taking an active participation in your own personal Life…instead of taking it as it comes and thinking this is how Life is.
Try it… and do it often, watch how your Life begins to shift.
I allow my Self to BE different…
For our best and highest good, all ways…

Buddha Wanted – Apply Within
by Jack Kornfield
These are extraordinary times for a spiritual seeker. Modern spiritual bookstores bulge with texts of Christian, Jewish, Sufi, and Hindu mystical practices. The many contradictory perspectives we encounter pose one of the great dilemmas of spiritual life: What are we to believe?
Initially, in our enthusiasm for our practice, we tend to take everything we hear or read as the gospel truth. This attitude often becomes even stronger when we join a community, follow a teacher, undertake a discipline. Yet all of the teachings of books, maps, and beliefs have little to do with wisdom or compassion. At best they are a signpost, a finger pointing at the moon, or the leftover dialogue from a time when someone received some true spiritual nourishment. To make spiritual practice come alive, we must discover within ourselves our own way to become conscious, to live a life of the spirit.
When we are faced with a variety of spiritual teachings and practice, we must keep a genuine sense of inquiry: What is the effect of this teaching and practice on myself and others? Am I being led to greater kindness and greater understanding, to greater peace or freedom?…
