Connect The Dots: Beautiful Lifestyle

I recall spending a lot of time playing a childhood game called "Connect The Dots."  Now, as a mature woman with a modicum of wisdom, I've discovered that this game reflects a central principle in the fabric of my life.  When I think about "Lifestyle" and my declaration of establishing a "beautiful lifestyle" for myself I realize that my "Lifestyle", and anyones for that matter, is constituted when we connect the dots of how we live.  Everybody "wants" the good life; to have a lifestyle that the world and the media tells us we should have;  the MTV life, lifestyle of the rich and famous, or  the celebrity life.  It's what most people seek. 

My question is this: When you reconcile your desire for this "fabulous" life, how does it correlate to the life you now live?  The components of  how you live on a daily basis constitute the Lifestyle that you are living.  So to determine if you are en route on the path to the Lifestyle you want, you must look squarely and brutally honestly at how you live now.  What are your daily habits, thoughts and practices?  What do you spend most of your time doing?  How you spend your time is a clear indicator of your priorities.  Look at the "quality" of your life.  Do you spend most of your time frivolously i.e. talking, texting, hanging out, getting high, having sex, watching TV, chasing this or that?  'Cause if you do then "this is your Lifestyle".  On the other hand, are you getting yourself Spiritually grounded, hanging around positive, like-minded people who want to progress in life?  Are you working on eliminating "bad" habits and replacing them with good ones?  Are you relentless about your personal growth and development?  Are you acting as "the cause" in the matter of your life or are you a "Victim" at the effect of all of your circumstances? 

Listen,,,today you need to "get naked".  To begin this journey that I am committted to taking you on, along with myself, take a real hard and truthful look at your life and the "Lifestyle" you have created for yourself.  If it is not lining up with your vision of  "who you think you are" or "where you think you are headed" you can change direction in a heartbeat.  I am committed to living and creating a beautiful life,  Are you game?  Connect the dots...

One,
Nekhena

Tyrannized by What? You wouldn’t believe.

In my daily reading I was struck by these words I read in the Scripture (Message Bible). It spoke about being “ tyrannized by what you want” in life. It made me pause to reflect.  I thought, probably if most of us looked closely at our lives, for most of the things that we desire / want (normal things); we have received them. How many of us have looked back at ourselves once we obtained “the thing ” we wanted and said, I should have been just a little more patient because, it came. It happened. Haven’t you noticed that “it” will come, “it” will happen . More times than not, the things we fiend, obsess and worry over and about, usually work out. They actually come to pass.   It’s not that it doesn’t happen. It’s really a matter of how long it takes to happen.   For most of us, when it comes to what we want, the answer to that question of “how long? is TOO LONG! Perhaps we need to reframe our Minds, make the adjustment, so that how we gauge the space between what we want
