Let's Fly!

Each one of us is of great value to all those who enter our world, either directly or indirectly. Every thing we do, every word we speak, and even every thought we think has an effect. Not only in our lives, but also in the lives of all we touch.

We truly are creators with everything we need available to us.

But if we do not know this, or choose not to believe this, then our lives become nothing more than fallen leaves adrift in a river flowing to a destination we don't know. Although we have unconsciously made this happen, it feels as if we have no control of our lives. And we feel bad or worthless by the "bad" choices we have made.

And as we beat ourselves up, we begin to see our dreams as foolish, and we settle in a stagnant pool of poor self-appreciation. We remember our younger years as the happiest times of our lives, and long for their return. Moments of joy become fewer and fewer, usually coming temporarily in the form of a good weekend or our favorite sports team winning a game.

We wonder why we're even here, why life is so hard, and if things wouldn't have turned out better had we just made better choices in our past.

And then there's the problem. We decide to make better choices but feel powerless to do so because we haven't forgiven ourselves and others for the things that have "gone wrong". We have forgotten that we are remarkable beings, able to change our lives by changing our thoughts and feelings.

And that is exactly how it does start to change; by reclaiming our own power of the self-creation of our own worlds.

Just for today,

think ONLY about what you want your life to be like

see ONLY what you want your life to be like

and expect ONLY what you want your life to be like to happen

It's time to toughen up and retake control over our own lives. It's time to fight for control over our own minds and feelings for just one minute longer. It's time to trust that this fight doesn't involve great struggle and resistance, but an allowance of the flow we feel inside of us.

It's time to feel brave again, like we did when we were young and unstoppable.

Because we were, until we learned to fear "falling" and getting hurt. Just because we fell and got hurt learning to walk didn't mean we gave up. We kept trying and learning from our falls UNTIL we were able to walk.....and then we began to run

I say let's fly

Let Your Life Last Forever!

"Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?"

- Marcus Aurelius
- Roman Emperor, 161 to 180 A.D.



General Maximus was a fictional character in the movie Gladiator, probably based on three or four real historical figures. Others, such as Caesar Marcus Aurelius and Commodus (his evil, evil son) were not made up.

Marcus Aelius Aurelius Antoninus seemed to flow with life, while Commodus tried to force things to go his way. As a result, while Commodus is seen by historians as a failure and "even more bizarre in real life than he was in the film" (David Neelen, 2000), Marcus Aurelius is viewed as a huge success.

According to Eckhart Tolle, author of "The Power of Now", Marcus was "one of those exceedingly rare humans who possessed worldly power as well as wisdom". (p.179)

Accepting whatever comes to you I interpret not as simply going through life as nothing more than a leaf floating in a river. It is paying attention to the events of your life and listening to those things that give you a strong positive reaction. What events give you a spiritual uplifting? What thoughts and dreams do you have that enlighten you to as what your highest life could be like?

If you deny them as foolish fantasy or impossible goals, then you are not accepting whatever comes to you as woven into the pattern of your destiny, and aptly fitting your needs.

We are all here for a very wonderful purpose, and I don't think that purpose is to wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, go to bed, wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch tv, go to bed, wake up.........

What are our dreams? They are our destiny reminding us of why we are here. We all possess worldy power. When we are young there is NOTHING that we cannot do. We give that power away way too easily and way too soon. Fear and doubt are the twin pillars that stand strong while our lives crumble into ruins.

A hero is someone who hangs on just one minute longer each time he wants to give up. A heroine chooses bravery and courage when fear and doubt enter her mind.

Hang on to your dreams one minute longer today. Hang on and hold on, and let your life echo in eternity with a ringing sound of a call to arms for others to realize their fullest lives, that IT CAN be done.

Let your life last forever!
