Get up and be MOTIVATED!

Hello Stars,

I trust and hope the world is being kind to you. 

So what gets you motivated? Life can be a bit of a hamster wheel cant it? However here we are. So we have various choices in life:

Do we search for happiness in gaming, gambling, drugs, porn, lose living, non-accountability, lies and or spending money we don't have - just so we can fill a void - the void being the hamster wheel? 
Well, these measures are proven to be a slippery slope and most certainly not advisable. Of course in the plethora of activities to enjoy in life there maybe wiser choices to fill up ones time. Maybe trying many different activities to find 'happiness' then subsequently finding out that they don't provide longterm happiness isn't such a bad thing - but be measured - be safe. The end result will always be the same. 
If you're looking for joy outwardly its going to be a long tough road. 

Alternatively, we could change our mindset. 

We could start (for example) to look at the things we DO have instead of lamenting the things we DONT. We could see the beauty and joy in the small things - smell the roses instead of feeling separate from them.  Find the joy in the NOW instead of being concerned about what happened in the past or what may happen in the future. Lessen the bindings of anxiety and therefore becoming more present. 

Not an easy exercise I know. Easier said than done! Truthfully we can all find more joy in life if we stop thinking that JOY and happiness is on the other side of the door. The door opens inwards - the joy lies within us if we choose to look there. 

Eckhart Tolle is allegedly one of our great spiritual gurus. Whatever your thoughts about him - you may know his name from the very well versed and famous book he wrote: The Power of Now.

He writes, as many spiritual teaches have for centuries, about how changing how you look at your life - can change your life. How about that! Seems so simple doesn't it? 

So flipping and reversing the nagging thoughts in your brain that tell you what your life isn't and training your mind to think about what you do have can immeasurably make you a happier person. Not only then can YOU be happier but your happiness will radiate everywhere and create a ripple effect so all those that you touch can feel your happiness too - which in turn, makes you even happier! An energy shift and exchange. 


'When you change the way you look things, the things you look at change'


Imagine if we all went about our days trying to encourage, motivate and inspire others! Imagine. 

We are all Stars!

Next time you think - darn that alarm clock - realize the now is all you really have, when its gone,  its gone. When you next go out for a walk, look up, look at the trees and feel the breeze. Life is a gift so 'get motivated' to enjoy every last second of it! 
Eckhart Tolle/Quotes
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.
Life is the dancer and you are the dance.
What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.

Rejection Sucks! Or does it?

Come on, theres no skirting around the edges - REJECTION HURTS - like going three rounds with Mike Tyson then some!! But how about we completely turn rejection on its head?? Huh? I hear you say!  I ask you this.... Mentally have a little look through your past life pivots: - break-ups, job interviews (when your heart literally sinks as you fluff a question and you just know you're going to get the dreaded 'NOPE' call), and/or what about that college rejection letter - atmosphere buzz kill. What will the family say? Yikes, the look of disappointment on their faces! Boy it all felt like the proverbial kick back then didn't it?  But look, I'm not asking you to look through your past rejections to feel a pinch of pain (I'm not that mean) - I'm asking you to do so so that you can see just how the nature of those then 'rejections' lead you to the place/s where you are now! Life isn't tidy - its richly messy and uncertain and fragile and if it were not

Random Acts of Kindness

Hello Stars! Its probably one of the first times in eons that we are all dealing with something together - not just the human condition as you're reading this - but a global pandemic. Its often been too easy to look at others suffering through a situation - a war/famine for example - and to feel quietly safe that it isn't happening to us - as its not in 'our country'. Not so in 2020.  Although 2020 has been a crushing and debilitating year so far for most of us wouldn't it be a nice thought to think that it may bring us globally closer together? To be less 'separate' and more compassionate towards the global whole? We all feel pain, suffer loss, feel unwell sometimes and need love - really the separateness we feel isn't real.  So! That brings me to the title of this post. How many of us are mindful of trying to GIVE rather than GET from others? How many of us practice kindness? Well truthfully I know many people that do, I try to make it part of my dail
