How to have a better life...

So today someone told me, "If you do ___ maybe your life would turn around."

Yeah that did not sit well with me. It did not piss me off mind you, just rubbed me a bit wrong. What is so wrong about my life?

IS my life perfect??? No, but what is perfect anyway? What might be perfect for me, might be hell for another. I'd like some thing to be a bit different, but life is never done. It is always changing... so there is always time, unless you croak. So I have an idea of why that statement was made, because I am not married, with a high paying job, a house I own or are paying off, you know the things OTHER people think I 'SHOULD' have. Well lets see...

I have a roof over my head...
A child who is smart, funny, cool, and who I love with all my might, and who loves me back with the same might.
I have food.
I have clean water.
I have nice clothes.
I have a decent body.
I have my health.
I have a studio stocked with almost anything I could want to make things with.
I have 5 guitars.
I have a car to drive.
It has some gas in it.
I have an education.
I am smart.
I have a lot of talents.
I have music.
I have art.
I have metal. And gems. And beads. And stones. AND AND AND
I have a strong heart, both emotionally and physically.
I live in a beautiful city.
I have mountains to climb.
I have peace in my mind and heart.
I have great friends and make new ones all the time.
I have family.
I have my sanity.
I have my spirituality.
There is so much more... but I honesty have a LOT to be grateful for.

What others think of my life is of no matter to me. You might see my life as something that is not that great, I see it as pretty darn good. With a few things that need to be changed, but I am working on those... and with gratitude, those things will fall into place better.

So how do you make a better life???

Notice how great the one you have is....

Why do we spread fear?

So seeing a post of a friends wall today on facebook made me think about spreading fear. It was a 'warning' type of post. Now, it might be 'true' to some, but honestly I wonder why do we feel the need to spread fear??? I see a lot more of these kinds of posts than positive, love giving posts. Well, that is not totally true, because I have joined a lot of pages that are very positive, and I get a lot of those posts. The negative ones are now only coming from people on my facebook. Most days lately I just scroll by them, and try not to give them any real focus. But this particular one caught my eye, because it was about a ruse with a crying boy, for rape gangs. Yeah, kids, rape, all that stuff, really tends to get my attention. But, after reading it, I wondered why do we share such things. Do we really want all our friends in constant fear? I thought that was only used by the media and military.

So that makes me ask, why do we embrace fear more readily than love? It is not our natural state, and what you focus on gets bigger, so WHY focus on fear? Why not put as much focus on love as possible? I really have no concrete answers, other than fear really gets your attention, because it is a negative emotion. But why does love not get more attention??? I mean it is a feel good feeling. Makes you feel amazing, as if you can do anything. Why would we not want to focus on that instead?

I know most do not understand the law of attraction, so they are reacting all the time on a default setting. Sometimes I want to tell them, but I am learning that not everyone is ready to accept they are creating all that they encounter. Till then I will keep pondering the nature of humans, the universe, love, attraction, and scroll past the posts that do not support what I know to be true.

From my soul to yours!
Namaste~
