Start From Where You Are.

Having fun is easy. Or is it?

Like many folk I know, I was a pretty serious and intent character when it came to the important things in life.  You know, things like money, earning it, keeping a job, holding the good reputation, being married for 34 years, having three daughters and growing them up, having good health and so on.  I would read well about those things, listen to experts and put in place many of the things that I had learned.  But it was not always fun.  And I most certainly did not always function from a place of happiness and joy.

I did ok though and in general things went pretty well.  Until someone gave me a book called “The Money or Your Life”.  I thought that the book might be about killing yourself in order to keep the money flowing in and it was a little about that.  But is was mostly about finding your “bliss” or in my words your passion in life.  Finding it, believing in it and doing it in order to have the money and fun that you seek, flow in.  My thanks go to a good friend and the Universe for putting this book into my hands.

All of my recent working life has been about earning enough money, doing what I had to do to do that and looking happy.

Now I know to expect more than that.  I can have it all; the money, the passion, the fun and joy and everything in life that comes with those things.  That does not necessarily mean giving up your job, though you might, or moving to the hills to meditate every day, though you might or making radical changes to your every day life, though you also might do that.  It means that you start from where you are at, right at that moment, to make changes in your life and attitude that allow you to appreciate everything that you have – both good and bad.

You will be amazed at the changes that even that small effort will make in your life every day and the peace that will bring to you.  From that small place you can build magnificence.

Sometimes a change of attitude will buy you enough time in your current situation and allow you to look at where you want to be and work on that angle.  Allow you time to see what you are currently focussing on to attract into your life and what it is that you really want to attract into you life.

The lights went on for me at a workshop that I attended last year that started my journey to attract into my life the things that I wanted and not the things that I did not want.  All of my attention was going to what I did not want.  It now goes to what I do want.  My thanks to Sue and her wonderful workshop.  I highly recommend to you, this workshop and the work that Sue does as a great place to start to work on your life and bring to it what you really want, not what you do not want.  It’s easy.

And joy, happiness and fun to you all.

Life is for FUN!

All of my life I believed that my job here on earth was to learn from my experiences so that I could be useful and help people in a more genuine way.  This thinking lead me into all sorts of interesting escapades for which I am truly grateful but which put never ending challenges in my way.  I began to question how I could possibly need so many challenges of the same kind to keep re-learning the same things.  What, I asked, could be the use of this and why did I keep revisiting the same life lessons.

Six months ago, through the diligent efforts of one of my colleagues, I came to understand that there is a Law of Attraction, the most significant Law of the Universe.  From studying the Law of Attraction I have come to realise that I am not here to learn.  In fact I have all of the knowledge that I will ever need but I do need to remember it all.  Naturally that leads to the fact that all of the life scenarios that I had ever had, were not for the purpose of learning.

The reason that I kept receiving these gifts was because that is what I was focusing on and giving all of my attention to in a very negative way.  Even though I constantly reassured myself and anyone who would listen that I did not want more of that, that was where my attention was.  That was what I was attracting.  And because I was focusing in a negative way, I was attracting negativity.

Now this was not very hard to understand when I got right down to the facts. What was hard, was that I was the cause of everything that was happening to me and that I would have to change things in my life and my attention in order to attract new and happier experiences into my life.

You know, one of my friends told me all of this many years ago and I pushed that to one side.  Well, I am open now, thankfully.

So, over the six months that I have studied the Law of Attraction, I have remembered many things including that my job here on earth is actually to have fun, to be happy, to reach of state of pure joy and to offer as much positivity up to the Universe as I possibly can.  Man that feels good.

I have to say that I have been giving the job of having fun a pretty good nudge. Like in Acapulco recently, where I attended the best personal development program of my life.  And had a whole lot of fun with a whole lot of new friends while I was about it.  I also paid attention on the weekend just past when we went to Josephine Falls with friends and had a blast on the natural granite waterslide.  I felt 15 and it was wonderful FUN.

What can you do to start having fun?
