Even our wildlife knows to see help...
Some bad news... friends of the family have perished in the fire. The really unfortunate thing was that they were moving out to the surf coast, and went back to the Kinglake area to move their stuff to the new place - and it was while they went back to get stuff from the other house that they got caught.... and didn't get out :(
I've donated to the bushfire appeals - twice already. Those who are local and haven't already done so, I encourage you to do so. | comments: 13 comments or Leave a comment   |
| You know, it's funny how much people feel the need to categorise themselves. I've had this discussion (albeit briefly) with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) milkmixedtapes about people defining themselves by bands they like, or what have you.
It's funny reading some of the add me communities ... "I like xyz music... so that means I'm a blah blah... so only fellow blah blah's might like me". "I'm conservative, so if you're liberal, I don't want to hear from you" (or vice versa - perhaps not using those words, but I'm reading between the lines here). Or "I'm gay" as if that makes a poofteenth (apologies to Top Gear Australia for that one) of a difference to whether the person is worth knowing or not.
Who gives a crap?
I don't define myself by any of those. Apart from maybe weird - but we all are in some way or other. And I don't claim to be "liberal" or "conservative" (In Australia, saying you're Liberal means you're right wing!) But of course, that's because the Liberal Party (ie. conservative party) is economically liberal, not necessarily socially. I judge by issue, not by party affiliations, or by a band affiliation, or religious, or whatever else.
For example, I don't think all songs by Smashing Pumpkins or U2 "rule", nor that all songs by Britney "suck". Some are good, and some suck... from whoever it happens to be. Take everything on it's own merit, I say.
Oh, apart from Shannon Noll. He just sounds like a whiney bitch.
:D
So my question is - do YOU define yourself by some category? And if so.. why? Why do you feel the need to? Do your choices come from yourself, or are you conditioned to prefer those choices as a result of 'belonging' to that category? :)
I like making people think :)
Why am I writing all of this down?
Because I'm procrastinating once again.. I should be studying! | | comments: 47 comments or Leave a comment |
| The law of attraction is surprisingly simple: Like attracts like. It becomes a bit more complicated when it comes to training our minds to think in ways that will bring what we desire into our lives. The term self-fulfilling prophecy describes the same law. This well-known term explains that we create the circumstances our mind dwells upon, whether positive or negative. So our goal is to practice consistent presence of mind to make sure our thoughts are always directed toward the positive and that which we want to create.
A key to the process is the word frequency. This is true for two reasons: 1) The frequency you use when you passionately dwell upon or revisit a thought, dream, desire or goal provides the energy your musings need for creation; and 2) just like a radio station broadcasts on a certain frequency, like the radio you must be tuned in to receive it. This means preparing for the arrival of your dream on every possible levelmaterial, physical, and spiritual. You dont have to know how it will come into your life, just trust that it will. Your job is to lay the groundwork, follow any leads you can find, and prepare for its arrival. This can mean cleaning out your garage to make space for a new car, taking a tour of a model home to get the feel of it in order to feed your fantasies, or thinking of what you want in a mate and then living up to that list yourself.
Just like with any skill, the law of attraction must be practiced. We must decide what makes us feel abundant, and use our imagination to create the feeling. It isnt enough to just want something; you must use the power of your thoughts to attract it. A series of choices is what brings us everything in our lives right now, every moment. When we know the direction we want our choices to take us, it is as if weve placed an order with the universe. Then we can await its arrival with joyful anticipation. If we find ways to experience our dreams right now, we make creating joy a treasure hunt in which the seeking is just as much fun as the finding. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
