Change?


Some things in life require a little bit of effort to bring them into existence, yet others require absolutely no effort whatsoever.

When we put our minds to it, we can achieve whatever it is that we want, and, as an added bonus we can have it now, if we so wish.

I want this:

And I actually already have it, although it’s slightly hidden. Being kept warm is a better, and more friendly, way of describing it. Portly, as I said in my last post, isn’t as nice.

I also want this:

And, I actually already have that as well, but once again in a slightly different shape. And colour. With more roof. And more mirrors.

This wouldn’t go amiss:

Well, a few (many many!) more to fill the gaps, that is. And the odd paper note or two to add a bit of colour would make the photo look nice too. But, I have enough for now for when I need it, so that’s good. And this isn’t really the change I’ve been talking about of late.

Actually, thinking about it, I kind of have everything I want now, materially, in some form or other. I just need to enhance my mind a little further. And I will.

Yes, I want to bring my body back into shape, and I will do so, also. That takes a little more effort, and time, but I will get there. Sheer determination will see to that. And the fact that it’s my body wanting this change. I’m happy to help it along.

My Glowing Angel picture has just been added for dramatic effect. That, and the fact that a spiritual (or supernatural) event prompted this post. One of my Oracle Cards revealed itself to me. The Empowering card, with the message ‘empower yourself’.

Only I can do it. I’m getting that message almost every day now.

And now, I’m giving myself the power!

I can do it. I will.

    Tom I am sure you will, Once we put our minds to it.. we can achieve almost anything… I was once walking with a stick.. now look at me, walking, gardening… Mind over Matter is a wonderful tool… We just have to put it into gear, like that ‘car’.. and then focus like on the ‘angel ‘and breath deep using our ]chest’. and then hey presto… We see the ‘Change’ …

    Love the change in your blog theme too… And apologies for my own absence 🙂

      Hi Sue… no worries! I’m not back 100 per cent yet, but I’m getting there.
      It’s good to see you again!
      And yes… Mind over Matter is a very important and useful tool indeed!

    Wohoo! Go Tom!
    Once you want it, it’ll come..just don’t overwork yourself…that’s not going to be good!
    By the way…not sure how your water intake is like…but a little trick is to drink more water…it actually helps to lose some amount of that padding 😉
    And again…can’t wait to go along the journey of the change you’re anticipating 😀

      Always appreciative of the advice of a doctor, Shree, and thank you very much. I don’t drink enough water, but from now, I’ll get that balance right.
      Thank you for sharing this part of my journey… I can’t promise it being fun all of the time, but I’ll try my best.

      Hope you’re having a great weekend, Shree!

        It’s actually a secret I’ve just discovered myself and if I’m being totally honest didn’t even come from my background 😛 Ooo the other thing you may want to check out over at YouTube land is what some call “Glowing Green Smoothies” ..I’ve tried it and it’s quite good!

        Oh..our journeys may not be always fun and I’m also learning, based on a personality it’s sometimes not that “exciting” either. I just had a conversation with a friend and she said that I’m sort of a laid back-ish person so probably insights and things sort of just flow slowly in and then plop gently…so yea….my journey has so far been something like that..no lightning bolts of inspiration or stuff…which is fine too..so regardless of how it turns out, I’m sure not only I but all your friends here would be honoured to share this journey with you…as cheering squad, as sounding boards, as obsevers and even at times as participants! So yay!!

          Laid back is the best way to be, Shree. Far better than uptight, wound-up, or on edge. I’m pretty much laid back myself… but impatient with it.
          I’ll check out those glowing green smoothies, but I have to admit they aren’t exactly singing to me. I may be surprised!

            Ahahahaahah! I just realized as I read your comment that glowing green maybe a little hazardous based on your experimentation history in your “lab”….LOL

            It’s actually pleasantly nice..make sure you add a small piece of fresh ginger if you’re doing it with spinach..and I always added Agave sweetner (it’s honey but with a lower Glycemic Index and slightly better for diabetics like me) …it makes it taste nice and sweet 😉

      That’s the key, Prenin. That temptation malarkey is the downfall of us all.

    Dear friend you are doing exactly what you are meant to be doing. Caring. About yourself, about others, about the world. It matters not what we own, all that matters for everyone is that we have compassion. Do we have it? Do we share it? Do we feel it? Without it, the world will surely perish. You are rich beyond your wildest imaginations TL….Just be you 🙂
