Glimpse 27 - WTF

It's been awhile. My mind has been going in a hundred places, got sick, got well, got busy, got distracted, got milk? No actually, I'm out... put that on the list of one hundred and one things to do as well sometime soon. The WTF is all about my level of awareness of who and what I allow to influence my and your choices and how that's landing with me.

This week I've just had my fill of people addressing me in facebook posts, television news and advertising or politicians all appealling or calling me out as if I reside in a place of scarcity, lack, fear or less than-ness, hopelessness. (was it really that long ago that the Chilean miner's crept up the pipe to terra firma?) And what gauls me more is main stream marketing has worked like this for years and now, a lot of coaches are seemingly using this "don't be like this, come to me in the promised land" bull$hit to make their mark.

Oh I get it, sex and fears of all sorts sell things.. enough already. Someone famous, I don't care who, said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Good. Good. Good. Now to figure that piece out.

In my life, I'm calling for a moratorium of anyone utilizing people's fears about being less than creative, resourceful and whole to call them forward to buy, learn or do something new. Bahh Bahhh Bahhhh go the sheep -Please, just sit down for a stinkin minute in the silence of your self and take stock and inventory - realize what truly is truth for you. SHOCKER! You're fine. You've been in better and worse emotional or experiential pickles than what you are most likely in. Stop judging and stop buying in to the bull$hit and start recognizing, remembering, knowing, owning your own dang power -- you know the one that says you are creative resourceful and whole enough to get on through to any "other side" you want. A good friend once said to me, "Cyn, what if this is as good as it gets?" --- when clearly it wasn't.. I stepped up and made new choices for myself. I began to regard everything as it is, a temporary piece of time that will move on, with or without me. I chose not to go screaming and kicking through life as a victim of some sort of cruel universal hoax from that day forward. I stood up and took responsibility and it's served me well.

How do you take responsibility for yourself? Has it crossed your mind that all the issues in your life are because you want someone or something else to change - but not you? That said, (mea culpa) sometimes action means just sitting down with yourself and taking time to bring to mind that you do have choice, in all you do. And, to me, the biggest one is my choice of attitude. Who and what and how I let situations or people influence me, is of my own choosing. I'm making a few new choices this week.

Come at me with that stinkin thinkin thing about me being some part of a huddled, mindless, fearful mass and I'll be more than happy to change channels, delete, dislike button or in some cases, speak out about your negligent attempts to manipulate me (and probably yourself) and re-focus you on my more upward bound version of the truth.

It is what it is kids - you have what it takes - now go, get on with it.
