New Perceptions for New Life (BEING NEW NOW)

This is it. There is a direct relationship between our wholeness and our actual experience of life. Fair enough, it could be a confronting idea as in our right/wrong, good/bad mindsets. Who likes judgments being placed upon them or not being good enough in the eyes of another? Interesting enough, in the right environment each of these dislikes will prove to never come about.  

With compassion we can suggest to ourselves that if we discovered ourselves to be Awesome then we would surely want a life that demonstrated that Awesomeness. For bridging our awesome selves to having the awesome life, we first must set ourselves up with a view of life. What is life about? What can it be? Is it with us or against us? 

We can free ourselves from seeing life as a test. Ever hear this one? Life is doesn't have to be a test but can be a Gift. Who likes tests and our language will set the tone? If life were a test how would we ever become friends with it? EVERYTHING would have to be a 'Pass' or a 'Fail'. Blah, blah, bla, bla, bla! For what and for who? The Life is a test perception is simply a disempowering perspective to have towards life. On the brain side, there will be the same associations expressed towards life as there were in our naming all the capitol cities of the United States. "Pop Quiz: Fill in the blank suckers!" Or how about some calculus in your life. Talk about 'lawlessness'. That stuff involves more letters and funky symbols than numbers. 

 Other perceptions of life that have been offered to us have been: Life is tough and "Life is a B@$#! and then you die". Life isn’t fair. Our minds are the greatest power that we have for ourselves in the matters of what life will be for us. Although fun to say, with adopting any of these sayings/perceptions towards life, we greatly send Life in that direction to be just that for ourselves. You have a choice to give yourself a new chance with Life. Life will respond, that’s a promise; it really wants to be friends.  

We can create a perception of life that allows for a healthy friendship with life. For me, Life is a gift, a game and all for Love. For me, life isn’t about ‘Staying Alive’ but for Living. We aren’t mainly looking for a perception based off reason or current conditions of the world. One could look at the world today and say that life is about fighting and killing. That’s not where we want to take our loving selves. 

For this creation of perception, we want to get to our purest essence which is often the inner one that doesn’t care about what the outside world is doing or looks like. What would you like Life to be for you? Never mind the world and "them, they, he and she", what do you want Life to be? What is a way for life to be that leaves you confident that it will stay fun and keep you engaged? What's a way of Life that leaves you room to grow? 

Life is about expanding Love for me. Life is first about my loving myself. In the beginning, that was the game. I had to learn to love myself as it wasn't a given for me in my younger years. Now, the more I learn of myself the more I get to unconditionally love myself. Seeing life this way is a far distance from Fighting, tests or fairness. So what will Life be for you? Have fun with it. Write it down. What will you chose it to be? Will Life be a test or will it be a gift? You get to say and from there, So be it. 


Give yourself the lawless gift to create a perception of what Life will be about for you. Don't be nice when doing this also. It's just for you and no one will look. Come up with a playful and quick saying just like the ones we’ve heard before. We know how the rhymes go. PLAY! 

"LIFE is the most fascinating design EVER"
"This Life is an Amazing Gift"
"Life is where all of my dreams come true" 
"Life is where everyone falls in Love with me"
