FYI

This is FYI is by my friend, Travis De Luca, about people who label people, “losers.”

I was out and about town today and heard people talking about “losers.”

Ok, here it is.  No one is a “loser!”  Someone may be unaware or unaware of their talents, abilities and potential but they are not “losers!”

Perhaps we can take time to mentor someone and allow them to discover their potential, abilities and talents so they can move forward to greater success in their life.

No doubt we have all missed an opportunity or two in our life but that does not mean that similar opportunities cannot make an appearance in our lives.  Opportunities are always knocking at our door and we can either answer the door or ignore it.  Our choice.

So, if you are upset about missing an opportunity or two, stop beating yourself up over it!  Opportunity is making an appearance at your door at the most unexpected times.

Missed two very big opportunities when I was young;, one for a television show regular and another for a B’way production.  If  I continually berate myself nothing comes of it but if I know that opportunities abound for me, then so be it.  Life is about living not wallowing in the past about mistakes.

Go get ’em tiger!!

 

 

Mystery

Mystery is it foreboding or is it a challenge?  Some make it their life’s work to solve a mystery others see it as something to be left alone.  What mysteries do each of us desire to solve and how many of us just leave them alone, wishing and hoping they will disappear.

Mystery surrounds our very living…the mystery of life.  How does our mind work, the brain is the physical vehicle that the mind operates through. Our mind is invisible, it is part of the unseen things in this world, let us call it a world of mystery where there are more things than meets the eye.  

The mystery we all may be looking to solve is, “How do I…?”  We can fill in with the words, “get ahead,” “get more money,” or “get a better job.”  

Some believe that we live in a world of illusion.  Some believe that we create the world around us both individually and collectively.  Some believe that the world in which they live is out of their control.  Some just don’t give a hoot and move through life like a robot on automatic unaware of anything around them, nor do they care to know.

Life is a simple mystery, it is about living.  But what do we see as living? Are we allowing ourselves to be influenced by the outside so that our inner beliefs coincide with the outer or allowing the inner to influence the outer to coincide with the inner thoughts and beliefs?  I believe both.  We are spiritual beings being human, as many I know like to say.  We are a power unto ourselves and the life we live is the life we choose inwardly according to our thoughts, beliefs and concepts about self, our self-worth for instance, and the world around us.  Some chalk up life to karma, reincarnation, and don’t believe they can change it, well, if you don’t change you will be repeating the pattern and stay stuck, something I don’t think any of us truly desire.  The mystery of life is to live it, from the inner to the outer, the Law of Cause and Effect in action.  Life can only be to us what we believe and accept it to be, no more and no less.  Geez, do I have to clean up my act!  How about you? 

Well, now that we know something about the mystery of life what are you and I willing to do to alter the course we are currently following?  The choice is ours. Life is about living and living it well. 

You are and always have been worthy of the highest and best, accept it, let it be a core belief, thought and concept to lead you forward into new beginnings and a new fruitful life experience.
