There is always two ways of viewing the world. The cup can be either half full or half empty depending on your mental attitude. Attitude drives our outlook and we can begin to change our outer world once we begin to recognize that there may be problems waiting around the corner but we can have confidence and trust in our ability to deal with the difficulties as they arise. That is being realistic and when we are making changes we think about the various options and possible outcomes that we base our decision on. We can also know that there many new possibilities waiting for us at each turn and creativity is forever arising and bringing in the new.
For instance I have been in touch with a friend I once knew and have been out of touch with for the past two years here in the Mid West. She offered to check into some career possibilities for me through some professional contacts. Another friend from San Francisco contacted me and offered to mentor me with some writing projects. I already have a topic which I would like to write about for nursing students to do with using Face Book. The Telegraph published an article today addressing the apparent addictiveness of Face Book for young people and it is as vital part of their communication loop as the cell phone and text messaging. After a group of nursing students won a court order from a Judge in the Mid West to be readmitted to a nursing program it is apparent that clearer information and warnings needs to be available to nursing students and increased awareness among faculty of social media popularity.
I have a place to see and hopefully rent and that I am very much looking forward to as I feel extremely uncomfortable where I am living. My interest is in being able to be undisturbed and have access to the internet 24/7 to get some projects completed. I also intend to start some groups for discussions about Spiritual Life and Meditation. My life will take a different course than I had expected and I am ready to put all my effort into creating the life that I wish to live.
I know many of you also go through voluntary and involuntary changes and mental attitude makes the difference between a successful transition or not. I believe that we can carve out a special kind of life for ourselves when the time is right and you will know when that is. Someone wrote recently in a group that I belong to on a social network that they didn’t believe in the "Secret" philosophy and that life had a more mundane and practical meaning. I also have been through those times when my daughter was little and I would work nights and take care of her in the day time. Creating the perfect life comes when you are ready to make that change.
I for instance have spent many years with my first Spiritual Master and I can incorporate what I have learned into my work with others. I hope to be able to write about the benefits of meditation for the mentally ill, to control anxiety and decrease blood pressure. There is a great deal to share and write about and I am excited to be able to have the motivation and choice of my own time to fulfill my dreams.
One saying that Deepak Chopra said that has always stayed with me is "Do what you love and the money will follow." He has been able to share his vision with the world and change lives.
Attitude is everything. My Master HH Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Marahaj says "We are made of love, bliss, Light sound, wisdom, consciousness, joy and peace. We can live in a manner in which these characteristics guide us and shine forth from us, or we can keep them hidden. It is our choice to make." Make yours!
