Are You Kidding Me?!?

"Complaining gets you nowhere; kidding stops your complaining!"

LoVe LuCy

Imagine you can live your ideal life.Your ideal location, ideal circle of influence, ideal weight, height, you name it...On our journey to greatness, we all have a few select areas in which we certainly can improve upon.

We have certain behaviors we can toss to the curb, to help us get our heads on straight. There is always going to be something.

We are here to learn, grow and grow more.The more we can focus on the growth and the solutions for our "somethings" that can use work, the better we can get through this wonderful journey.

A very special secret to finding these solutions is to keep in touch with our better side, and perhaps toss our complaining to the curb. We all know certain people who seem to have more than enough to complain about, whether it comes to their jobs, their relationships, or just simply anything they can bring up at the moment. Not to say that we all haven't been there, ourselves. But sometimes it is important to check in with ourselves to be certain we are on the track to solution finding, before we find ourselves spending our energy on the negative.

Problems will come and go, and come and go.If we can learn from them the first time, chances are we will find we have less to complain about, all in all!

So, if you find yourself getting in a rut about anything, don't kid yourself into believing that sitting and complaining about it is going to get you anywhere.Never has, never will.I kid you not!

Oh What A Feeling

"I have a feeling if I pay more attention to my feelings rather than what I think I should feel, things would change"
Love LuCy

We spend so much time, in our lives, preparing, working, scheduling and creating, and simply living every day for what it has to offer.

Luckily, for the most part, we are not taken back, bombarded or whiplashed with traumatic times, or severe life changing circumstances on a daily basis.

Sometimes, however, we are.

We only hope to wake up, with pretty much the same secure foundation we had the day before, and can be content with walking through the day, unharmed and open to life's precious moments.

Sometimes, however, we don't.

We all face challenges in our lives. We all have days, we don't think it is possible to wake up and smile like everything is ok.

But, if we can, on these days, realize that hurt or not, things are as they are to be, for us to grow, there may be hope for us, yet!

It is not always going to be easy. It is also, not always going to be hard.

If, during any time, we listen to our feelings, and listen to our heart, we can still walk forward believing in ourselves and our path.

Our hearts will not lie, even when we feel we lost all hope in love, and for some of us, all hope in life.
But, at the end of the day, our lives are precious and have true meaning even if we can't understand what things mean.

The meaning of life, no matter which way it is going, is to trust in ourselves and our higher power to take best care and have our best interest at heart.

And if you would simply rather pass up the feeling that you are feeling?
Remember no matter what the feeling, this too shall pass.

However, the best way to move forward, is to embrace the feeling, know it has purpose just as you do.

Fly Like an Eagle

"Whatever you do, do it with Love."
LoVe LuCy

Life is all about choices. What we do, how we decide to do it, and who we decide to do it with.

We all have the choice to make things happen marvelously in our lives, as we do to not show up at all, in our lives.
It is up to us how we want to live.

We can all make excuses for why we are not achieving our live's goals, and not living our lives to our full potential.

Sometimes, we may feel that making excuses for not having is just so much easier than going for what we want; what we know we can surely have, if we just have the will.

All of us, every last one of us is worthy of absolute abundance.
It is our birthright to be wealthy, loved, and successful in all aspects of our lives.

So, why is it that we have such an effortless time sabotaging all that we are, and sometimes, as a result, sabotaging our relationships with others, in the process?

The first step to changing this is actually very easy...

Change!

Know what you are doing, know what is not working and decide that if the results that you are getting are not helping you grow, you MUST do something in its place to change from this place of sabotage, to growth.

Then, simply watch change take place, and find yourself in a new place of love, abundance, and self worth.

For all of you that may be in this place of self-doubt, fear, sabotaging all that is around you; know this:

Whatever has transpired in your life, to now, is just what you have given thought and power to.

You have just as much power to change all that is not working in your life, and exchange it for something better, and beautiful.

Why?
Because you deserve it. Because your are beautiful.

Because the past does not, and never can predict your future, unless you decide to live your present and future by your past experience.
And if you don't believe you do can change?
Change your belief.

"Dedicated to a special someone ... I know I can soar like an Eagle, because I believe I can, as I believe you can too."

What NOT to Wear

"Whatever you wear, wear it will, and never
forget your wellbeing."
LoVe LuCy

With the fashion trends changing so much, it is not always easy to keep up with all the fads if we are the type to try keeping up with the Jones's.

We have so much stress on us in life, with all of the expectations we put on ourselves, whether it be status with cars, jobs, houses, or even education, as compared to everyone else.

What we think of ourselves seems to be a direct reflection of what we think others seem to have or seem to be, in conparison.

Until we realize that who we are and what we have to offer is completely individual and unique, as goes for all others, we will never really allow ourselves to release this stress.

Just as certain fitted outfits only fit certain body types; certain personality types are that for others to exude, not us.

We don't have to feel we only fit in if we are wearing, moreover acting like others, as what we have to bring to the table is just that- US.

So stop trying so hard to be like everyone else, when who you are is always just right.

It is not worth wearing yourself thin, when all the while, you will always look your absolute best when you do all you can to be all that you are.

Love LuCy sMiLeS

Good Point

"Always make a point to point in the
direction of your dreams.
LoVe LuCy

Truth be told, we are not always sure which way we are going. We can have a hunch as to what may take place next, but many times, we get side swiped by life's happenings, and have to lift ourselves back up, taking us on a whole new road.

It could be one or more of many things that cause us to have to stop, sit and centre ourselves to continue on what could be a very scary, uncertain path.

Other times, we could be doing the same thing over and over again, wondering when that big change is going to finally happen.

Whatever the case may be in our life's happenings, right now, we all have a choice to make changes, and make improvements that will allow us the best growth for us, and those around us.

Making changes is not always easy, especially when they involve not only us, but those we have chosen to share our lives with. Perhaps having to leave a few behind, to continue.

Being true to ourselves, first, is always the right way to go.

Your path is set out for you, and you alone. Those who come and those who conitnue on your path, are always the right people, too.

If first, you do for you.

Touche Pas

Unfortunately bad things have to happen
for us to notice it is bad."
LoVe LuCy

Remember when we were kids, and we had certain "pride and joys"?
Whether it be (for me) my Cabbage Patch Kid, Swinsuit Barbie, or Lego House, and for some of you boys out there, it may be your G.I. Joes, or He-Man action figures?

We never had a problem with claiming what we owned, and only giving others access to our belongings when we felt like it, or when it was rightly deserved.
Why is it, in life, when we get older and more mature and knowledgeable, do we lose sight of what is rightfully ours, and rightfully ours to give away, when rightfully deserving?

It seems, that on our journey, we may have our sights set on our best interests, but all the while lose that same sight quickly, quickly giving way to our best interests.

What we hold near and dear to our hearts may be many people, and many relationships that are worthy of us, and vice versa.

But it is imperative in our growth to remember what we hold near and dear in our hearts, about ourselves.

It is important, in our relationships with others, to claim our self reliant personal and professional achievements of success and independence, with true love and respect in all of our connections, starting with self, and then;
Others.

So if you are feeling as though it is a touchy subject in your heart, when your space, whether physically, spiritually, or emotionally is being touched beyond your comfort zone, simply speak your voice- your voice of reasoning and state:

- Excuse my french...
"TOUCHE PAS"
Avec Amour,

Good Point

"I convinced the skeptic in me to go with my opinion."
Love LuCy sMiLeS

We walk around the world hearing so many other people's ideas, opinions and suggestions, sometimes when we have a great one ourselves, we wonder if it is, in fact, truly our own.


We have many influences that work in our favor and many that may not in fact be. How do we discern what is what?

How do we discern who is telling us the best thing, for us?

The answer can be summed up in one simple equation:

YOU.

At the end of the day, after all is said and done, the big picture of what is best for your life, is what you feel is best for your life.

We can always be there for friends, and loved ones, helping to support their growth.

But it is imperative, in our own growth, to be certain that our steps we are taking, on our path, is ours to take.

We may be blessed for those to continue to walk beside us, holding our hands, and sometimes giving us a "high five" now and then.
But when the time comes, that the path of one, breaks to two; know that it is what is, and it is always more than ok, for you to walk on, on your own.

It is not just best for you.
It is best for all.
