Onward and upward

I seem to be getting and seeing a pattern! My life is a continuous cycle of things I aspire to do and then lets those things fall to the way side! I'm determined as ever and need to stay focused! I need to take one step at a time! ONE STEP AT A TIME! I think my problem...well situation is that I want and need to do everything NOW, like right NOW. I need to help myself and learn the importance of hard work and determination! I need to not get distracted and or bred of my dreams! I need to not even worry about those things! My mind is saying but that easier said then done! I want to be the shining example of things. I want my life to be a masterpiece! I need to slowly start seeing and living my life as a masterpiece!
 I want to now take some time to write down some people and things that I appreciate!

1. Jesus, I appreciate and love him so very much! I know that I sometimes drive him crazy and vice versa, but I could have been happier in my life without him! He definately has help me understand it when people say " oh he is my rock" He is my number one guy!
2. Mom and Grandma and Sister, they keep me straight and have always always always believed in me and have always loved me, and I love them very much!

3. my small group of friends and the people in my life! They make my day oh so special and exciting! I learn and teach and discover so much from everyone in my life!
I love you guys! I'm not mention names cause if you feel like I'm talking about you even just a tiny bit! It's cause I've affected you and you have done the same in my life and I love you for it!
THANKS....

Happiness=S+C+V

Yes! The Equation for Happiness

H=S+C+V

S is for (Set Point) meaning how happy are you in a natural state? This set point is part genetic by knowing how happy your parents were? Another factor includes childhood influences from parents and siblings. Did you know that this set point is actually programmed in your nervous system? When you habitually think to yourself consciously or unconsciously things like "Life isn't Fair" your brain creates neural pathways that actively reinforce this negative thought and your brain automatically is supported by negativity in your thought process.

C is for (Condition of Living) meaning your living conditions

V is for (Voluntary Activities) meaning the voluntary actions you make each and everyday! This factor counts for 50% of total happiness. Top way that you can easily access happiness is to allow yourself to promote what you love through creative expression or if you want the fast track to happiness just make others happy!

so.....

Happiness = Set point + Condition of Living + Voluntary Activities 

Life isn't truly this simple. We all endure and over come, rise and fall, come and go. We come from a higher power of existence that doesn't change. Our enlightenment consists of finding a way to reach that higher power that is our grounded existence!

In the world of constant change, there is something that doesn't change.

And the winner is...

Interestingly enough, I just finished this book! Oddly enough out of the 36 books that I own and randomly selected out of a hat! I choose the book I JUST FINISHED! I'm going to take this as a sign from the universe as " HEY I DON"T THINK YOU GOT IT THE FIRST TIME, SO LETS TRY IT AGAIN!" I don't mind really, but I'm ready to accept this as a good first step. For those of you who don't know who Deepak Chopra is, you need to get up and go to your local bookstore and get a book! Which you say? Any book? They are all amazing and you will learn something about yourself and the world around you!

I'm going to break this book down one chapter every 3 days! The book is compiled of 7 chapters and so that means I'll complete this book AUG 17.

 

This isn't even half of them....I'm going to let fate decide and perhaps writing them all down and picking at the whim of chance and begin my journey there!

My Journey Begins .....

 I want to be able to keep track of my journey. A journey, I have been fueling with ideas, affirmations, religious dogma and spiritual works for a couple of years now.  I want to embark on the journey for myself. A true journey, but the catch will be based on my entire collection of self-help books that I've already begun to collect.I will not be buying the latest self-help book, but I will be going through the collection that I've already acquired and truly seek and record. I will work through each book from the challenges they propose to the exercises they require! I will follow through on this blog with the utmost sincerity to myself and to my readers. My first task is to record all the self-help books that I have and find a diplomatic way of deciding which will be the first that I will pour my heart and soul in to and on to the page...

I'm ready.

Coming to My Senses...

Today, I've come to my realization that there is something in me that wants to be born. Something creative and filled with beauty. The thing that I am looking for is that I am looking for an outlet to plug my creativity. I'm one of those people who is searching in bookstore after bookstore, for that creative outlet. I've been reading self-up books to help me deal with the past and prepare for the future. I still stop myself and ask what is it that is stopping me in my past, and what am I preparing for in my future?  These questions are everyday struggles with me and I'm sure with everyone. I would like to start this blog as a record and to track my progress in my spiritual journey. I want to be able to use this as an outlet to let my voice be heard. To just blow off some steam, or to speak my mind of what I believe is true. Since apart of my life is consumed by fashion and spirituality, this blog with also venture into those crazy worlds. Some things that I want to accomplish is spiritual enlightenment, and to somewhat help bridge the gap between the two worlds that I am currently living (fashion & spirit). I will have to admit that i wouldn't have even considered altering my perception of my world that I live in, if it wasn't for Oprah Winfrey and her remarkable classes she taught with Eckhart Tolle and his remarkable book "A New Earth: Awakening to your Life Purpose". Every since reading that book I have so much appreciation for just about everything round me. The air I breath, to the flowers on the side of the roads that paint a journey to my work. If I can stay aligned with Being and this world I truly believe that I will do miraculous thing in my lifetime. I also want to inspire people in my lifetime, not in a "Christian Altering Process" so to speak. I want to do at the most opportune time, I know in this life people will walk in and out of my life, but I want the foot steps that I places in there hearts and minds to be a somewhat memorable one. To help inflict change in the world and in the lives of everyone in my life. This blog will be the spark of this change in my life. I will commit time to this and help change the direction I am headed to follow my own North Star.
