It's been sometime since I wrote in my blog. I have no excuses, I've just been doing other things-creating.
We live in a world where we are governed by time and material possessions, and at times in our lives, we have needs, and wants, and go to great lengths so achieve them, often without the outcome we hoped for. Is it fate? or was it that we could have gone about achieving our goals in another way.
Over the years whilst working fulltime and raising 3 children often by myself, as my husband worked shift work, and we were like ships in the night, I also worked for myself in natural therapies and taught meditation development classes at least twice a week, and come to think of it went out at the weekend public speaking- phew!!- whilst all this was going on I to had dreams and aspirations, and doing what others had said was the 'right way' to create. Creative visualisation, and Journaling as 'if now'- only looking back I realised the way I wanted things to be never quite materialised.
Having a 3 children and their many needs I was of course often motivated by money- many years late and much learning has taught me that my focus was wrong- sure we need to bring in what we need to pay bills, put food on the table etc, but I had read a couple of books that said just, visualise, believe and write as if it is happening now, and it will work- well not for me.
That's not to say it doesn't work for others, in fact I know that if we put out we get back- only my focus was in the wrong place, and that's the key for me -to creating what we want. Often our focus is ego driven.
Life as we know has many twists and turns, and looking back I have maybe one or to regrets, things I could have done differently, but nothing that has kept me from learning the best way to create that brings peace- for me.
Whether you want a new relationship, a different job, more money, a better home, or new opportunities what ever they maybe, creating has to start with the little things to create the bigger things, and we don't always know how that will turn out.
I had always when I was younger with children, wanted a house, like on the American movies, with a pool and a phone on the wall with a longer cord, that was my focus at the time, I can't say I thought about it day and night, but when it crossed my mind. When the right time came we did move and end up with just that, a pool, and a phone on the kitchen wall
