Bring Worthwhile Changes Into Your Life

Albert Einstein said,
"The definition of craziness
is doing the same thing all the time
and expecting a different result"
     Are you one of the many people who bemoan the fact that life is always the same?
     Or are there too many happenings and you long for serenity?
     Do you want a better job or even a job?  And you have taken all the standard, recommended actions until there seems that nothing else can be done ~ or so it is thought.
     No matter what it is, it can be obtained, as long as it is for the highest good for all concerned.
     Start by never, ever using the word ~ change ~ alone.  Most people translate the word to mean something good, but since the dictionary defines the word as ~ "to alter," it can mean undesirable or bad as well as good.
     Use a descriptive word before the word, such as ~ a wonderful change, a highly desired change, an often wanted change.
     Listen to yourself and ask others to tell you whenever you use that word, so that you can become aware of how you are using it.
Obviously avoid putting any so-called negative words in front of it.
     The best and most constant Word Referees are your children;  they delight in the opportunity to tell you what you have done incorrectly ~ and they will be more careful with what they say.
     God, Higher Power, Universal Knowledge seems to require proof that people really mean what they say that they want.
     There is a simple way to provide that proof, that is to daily make small good changes in your life and surroundings.
     As you do each be certain to say, even if very softly just for you, this affirmation, (or something similar) ~
I welcome, appreciate and am thankful for the positive changes
that are coming into my life
before the end of next month or sooner.
     Be certain to state a time period, otherwise, that which is headed to you could get delayed.
     Some simple, small, good changes that can be made are:
          ~ In the kitchen, move the plates that have always resided on the right side of the shelf over to the left side.
          ~ Change the position of one or more objects on your dresser top.
          ~ When your dog takes you for your daily walk, instead of turning right as you two have always done, turn left instead.
          ~ Part your hair on the other side.
          ~ Grow a beard ~(not suggested for women)
          ~ On a bookshelf, stack 3 books horizontally instead of vertically, then use that flat surface on which to display a favorite object.
          ~ Next month, interchange that object with another.
          ~ Drive home from work by a different route, turn off your GPS, find your own route, if you get so-called ~ lost ~ wonderful!
          ~ Buy a flowering house plant, then closely watch the changes it makes.
     Make certain that you determine the small relocations yourself, no hints from other people are allowed, make certain that family (especially spouses) and friends know that to do so could jeopardize the whole procedure, invalidating it all.
     Every time you see a positive change that you have made, be pleased with yourself for having done so.
     An Astrologist advised that on New Year's Day of every year, to ensure a good future, that one should move 27 things.
     Remeber what Albert Einstein said
          and this smart, unknown author of:
"If you always do,
                           what you have always done,
     You will always get,
                                      what you always got."
     Every morning say to yourself:
          Direct me to other good changes
 that will prove to Higher Power and me
that I am ready for the next successful phase of my life.

What Color Are Your Mother's Eyes?

     Surprising ~ and sad ~ are the many people who say, "No idea" or "I never noticed," or worse yet "I'm not interested in that sort of thing."
     Those were the eyes that were seen from birth thru babyhood, childhood and usually much of adulthood.

     What other aspects of life are being missed because of unawareness?

     Some people seem to be born with an attunement to all that is around them or have wise parents, who thru their own actions daily provide and teach examples of awareness and the importance of it.

     Today start to become more aware for:

~ Enjoyment
        ~ Especially of Nature
                    ~ Dew like diamonds on an intricate spider web
                    ~ A boldly colored sunset sky
                    ~ The chirping of unseen birds at sunrise

~ Safety
            ~ Thru the years, there have been tragic fires in theaters, restaurants and arenas where many people died because the majority had rushed to the entrance door.  They had failed to be aware of the clearly marked, red lighted EXIT signs over doors along the sides of the building.
            ~ When entering a public place, make it automatic to locate all the EXIT doors first.  If possible, sit near one of the doors, then relax. 
            ~ The most unsafe areas are the middle of a room and the middle of a row of seats.
            ~ When first entering an airplane, count the seats both forward and back of yours to the exit doors.
            ~ Note the members on a paper napkin and put it in an easily available pocket, better yet memorize the number of seats.

~ Helpfulness to Others
            ~ Be aware of some simple ways that you can aid someone ~ a person, an animal, plants, and the Earth.

      Today start a ~ My New Awareness Listing ~.  Date each entry and the time, list what you became aware of, perhaps, for the first time.

Example:
June 1, 2014 ~ Noon ~
               While eating my lunch sandwich outside , I saw a black Ant trying to carry a much too large for him bread crumb, he finally rolled it through the grass and down a hole.  Amazing!

Repeatedly Say
~ Each day, I am becoming more aware of all that is ~
