"Life Lesson #5
BE PRESENT

I was going through one of the darkest periods of my life. The man I thought I was going to marry --my soul mate--had just ended our relationship. To make matters worse, I worked for him. Since his office was separated from the rest of us by a wall with a huge window, there was no escaping his expressions and body language that told me whenever he was on the phone with another woman.

I was devastated. I could hardly breathe at moments, my heart felt so crushed. I implored him to let me take my office computer home to work, so I wouldn't be faced with the pain of seeing him every day. He agreed, and the change of venue definitely helped.

But what helped me the most was the advice that my friend gave me. First, if I was ever going to survive, the most important thing was to go to bed every night before 10:00. I knew from my study of health that every hour of sleep we get before midnight is worth two hours after that time. I also knew that staying rested is by far the most effective way to deal with stress. Anyone who's ever gotten up in the morning without having enough sleep knows how hard life can be when we're tired. When challenges are accompanied by fatigue, we can feel hopeless.

The second thing I needed to do was to focus on the things I had to be grateful for. Every night before falling asleep, I started writing down at least five good things that had happened to me that day. The principle is simple: when we focus on darkness, we usually allow ourselves to be taken deeper and deeper into darkness. When we focus on light -- all that's good in our lives -- we attract more and more light.

It is a powerful truth: Whatever you put your attention on grows stronger in your life. It's no surprise that when we focus on the negative, that's all we can see. How often have you had ten great things happen to you in your day, but when a friend asks you how it's going, you immediately tell her about the one thing that didn't go so well? As someone once said, "The more you believe something matters, the more solid and tangible it becomes." Sometimes we get so involved thinking about the past or the future that we simply forget what's going on right in front of us. At times like these, I find it valuable to remember the advice of my friend Stacy, whose life was turned upside down when her husband left her with three sons. She couldn't figure out what was going to happen down the road, but she knew her children would be home from school for lunch. So she put a sign on her refrigerator that said, "Just make lunch." She calls it training for living in the moment and adds, "There's no knowing what the crystal ball holds, but every outcome starts with "making lunch." . . . ©2007. Jennifer Read Hawthorne.

ESSENTIAL READING!

Having attracted "The Secret" into my life, my mind is like a sponge and open to all that attracts me to my purpose in life. I was doing a search online one day, while considering having an online book club as a new business venture, and I ran across a link to Oprah's web site. Well, wouldn't yuou know, she's was already doing one.

I got onto her online class last night to listen to Eckhart Tolle talk about "A New Earth, Awakening to your Life's Purpose." and I was organized with my book, notebook, printed course materials and my mother's bible. I was about a half hour into the class and I got booted and couldn't get back on, but it seemed that what I had heard there, started my mind on a journey of discovery. I am grateful for my computer today.

The entire time I have been reading this book, I have had so many AHA moments that I can't
count them. The biggest one was that some of the bible verses he showed reference to were highlighted in my mother's bible. My mind went rampant with thoughts about her bible and a discovery I made that took me 25 years to get to. You can read about it at:

These are all of my blogs. It turned out to be an interesting and productive night, even though I could not continue watching the class. I did get a chance to get on today, in the archives that Oprah has set up, for the class. It is lasting for 10 weeks and if you have not yet read Tolle's book, it is an essential read believe me. If you don't feel the AHA in the first chapter continue reading until you do. If you still don't feel it, put it down and go back at another time to read it, because it definitely will come, when your life awakens to it's purpose.

BLOGGING TO SAVE MY LIFE!

I created this blog to aid in the search for books on positive action. Self Help, inspirational and life issue books, because I believe that the environment of help is changing. More and more people are learning that we have lived most of our lives with old thinking. Some times we wake up in the morning and realize another, day, week, month or year has passed and we still have not realized some of our greatest dreams. In many cases, not even some of our smallest dreams.

Because the portability of reading materials has changed so dramatically, we really have no excuses not to take advantage of the available materials. A great many people that I know, still believe that they are stuck, living their life the way they always have, in spite of not reaching their goals, and even when their lives remain a mess. Homelessness, poverty, and hunger are some of the many examples of patterns that people do not change because they do not know how.

The books displayed on this site will offer titles for many life issues that may have the secrets people are looking for. The funny thing is, that there are still people that actually believe that living a good and full life is still a "secret." There is no secret...life is lived in only one way for us to realize all of the dreams we have in life. The right way, and the only way to find the right way, is to educate ourselves about it, and to enjoy the journey we take finding it.

I am finding my way through "The Secret" and what I am learning about The "Law of Attraction" and The Laws of Nature that govern our lives. For those of you that are looking for materials on those subjects please visit my other blogs, where you will also find, several marketing materials to promote and advertise your business, blog or web site.
