How often does a two year old wake up, pissed off about yesterday? The moment their eyes awaken, is the moment they are ready to take on a new day.
Let the start of this week become something brand new, decide that yesterday doesn’t matter, and in this moment the universe becomes your playing ground. I hear a lot of talk about how if we were to change this or that law, change this or that world condition, our individual lives would begin to change for the better. I’m sure you’ve read these types of emails or heard this type of message; how if only what is outside us would change then we would finally be happy, prosperous, and peaceful.
This belief is then compounded when we actively complain about that which seems to dictate our life experience. Can’t you see what’s going on? We are confessing to the universe that all we desire is out of our control, relieving ourselves of all responsibility to create inner change, while judging the actions of others. …Grow your mind, grow your world.  Comments are closed  Judgment, PAW Daily Prints, Responsibility  Anticipation -, Beliefs -, Complaining -, Illusion, Inner Change - I believe the organization behind all of life carries with it a sense-of-humor that knows our experience as only a dream.
This comedy is not one of judgment but of compassion, knowing that in our times of pain we see the dream as reality, drawing our identity from the experience. If we saw the dream as simply a lesson in growth for our soul, we too could find more compassionate humor as we move forward. Comments are closed Compassion, Encouragement, PAW Daily Prints, Tiger's Favorites Dream -, Humor -, Identity -, Lesson -, Reality -, Soul - It’s easy to get lost in life, where for long periods of time we become numb to our true desires, and the only genuine emotion we experience is in the form of tear drops in our complete loneliness. We’ve busied our lives in hopes it will somehow provide answers, forgetting the simplistic nature of what and who we are.
Wash your hands of the pain and let each lesson define more clearly what it is you are truly searching for. Write down a refined purpose, seek higher thoughts, and trust all is well. Comments are closed Depression, Intuition, PAW Daily Prints Desires -, Emotion -, Lesson -, Pain -, Thought - Yes, you can wait a life time for True Love; but in the end you will only discover it as ever present. When we come to a place where self respect is nurtured and tended to, we can become empowered to make changes that are best for ourselves rather than for what we think is best for someone else.
The growth you seek, is truly internal. However, we are blinded at times with the idea that our strength, value, and potential are in the hands of another, which can only create attachments leading towards fear and pain rather than Love and Acceptance. Loving your “self” solely through another person, means the love you receive is at the mercy of the person you are so desperately trying to change.

Everyone’s pain, is their own. We are birthed into an environment where uniqueness is contained as an infinite universe within the Self. Our walls are created for learning, and are designed with growth in mind. No one life expression can fully comprehend the lesson’s of his brother; he can only understand his own lessons more clearly. The uniqueness in another, is not based on your scale for pain; but is based on their unique experience for collective growth, which takes place in their own infinite creative world. By acknowledging this truth, we can live with more compassion, with more kindness, and more genuine love for all of life… because we understand “Well Being” as just perception, and we choose peace over fear. Comments are closed Compassion, Depression, Growth, PAW Daily Prints, Tiger's Favorites Compassion, Pain -, Perception -, Truth -, Uniqueness - A life with more beauty and ease, is not a life without strength and action; it is an experience where life seems to flow with certainty and a constant expansion of love, while our interpretations empower a belief that says we are connected to all of life.
Learning to live in this place of knowingness is not an overnight event, we must be willing to live consciously and take notice of the now. Constantly contemplate your expansion towards love, don’t fight or suppress fear based thoughts and feelings as you grow; just recognize them as interesting and reach for a brighter vision. Comments are closed Beauty, Consciousness, Discovery, PAW Daily Prints Ease -, Strength -, Thought -, Vision - When you find yourself in a situation where you desire to make a personal change that will add value to your life and make the lives of others uncomfortable or inconvenient, find a way to make the change anyway; be it starting a business, changing your diet, etc. If the people in your life can’t accept your choice for growth, that is their own lesson.
This is difficult because we have developed patterns that other people become accustomed to, and we identify our value with their opinion of ourselves. Let me remind you, the opinion you hold about yourself is most important. If others cannot adjust to you being you, this is their own problem and has nothing to do with you discovering higher levels of self. Comments are closed Growth, Health, PAW Daily Prints Business -, Change -, Lesson -, Opinions of Others - What we consider the downfall of others, is simply their perfect life learning opportunity. To judge it as anything else is an escape from our own opportunities for growth.
We point out the flaws in others because it either brings them down to our level or elevates our selves on an imaginary shelf; this is a favorite move of the ego to prove ones self as separate from everyone else. What if just for today, we chose to uplift others to their face rather than tear them down behind their back? Sometimes we become uncomfortable discussing personal growth or positive change in our conversations with others; personally I believe this is because it challenges us and presents opportunities for change, and in a world that desires ignorance, judgments, and indecision this is not an acceptable approach to life.
Because of this, conversations are used not for growth but to fill the time of now with pointless and hurtful gossip, void connections, and social stimulation. This is a state of survival, not Empowered Growth. Focus on today’s conversations and notice their value towards expansion; are you moving towards Love, Acceptance, and Growth or towards ignorance, judgments, and indecision? Comments are closed Judgment, PAW Daily Prints, Relationships Communication -, Connection -, Expansion -, Gossip - There comes a time when we recognize a growing value within ourselves, where we feel there is more to give and more to receive; in this moment, I encourage you to seek opportunities that truly add value to self and mankind. If we focus solely on adding to our self, we begin to lose sight of who we are, which is all of what Is; if we focus on adding value through unique creative expression to a world in need, we positions our selves not only for self growth but growth for all of mankind, ultimately creating lasting empowerment in our lives.
Note: Unique Creative Expression is using your true gifts, talents, and wisdom; creating meaningful value is using this expression to give back in a way that is unique, purposeful, and needed. It is not doing whatever you can just to make a buck. When we speak of our partner as our better half, we need to recognize these words or thoughts as expressions which create in our reality. What does this expression mean? How about that you do not see your self as whole; and to be whole, you must be with another. This tells us that our completeness lies outside of our own being.
It’s okay that another person adds value to your life and helps you grow, but I would be caution to let another person complete you, doing so only sets ourselves up for major hurt down the road; discover wholeness as who you are right now and not in the hands of another person. On a side note, this idea of ‘worth’ being in another person is a popular message pushed through a separated world view, so don’t beat yourself up for subscribing to it, just learn to heal it. Comments are closed PAW Daily Prints, Relationships Healing -, Reality -, Social Limitation -, Value - Read slowly…
When Logic meets conscious empowerment which is an awareness of a connected self, we can move forward with confidence in our decisions. 1 + 1 equals 2, but you know without 1 there can be no 2. Self is an expression of 1, containing all its parts experiencing a unique life expression. Empowered logic, knows within its decision exists a higher self connected to one, the whole, containing all of life’s answers. We all ride our own Crazy Train; what matters for a peaceful ride is does your train lead towards more love and acceptance or away towards fear, judgment, and separation.
Excerpt from “Ride the Crazy Train of Love; Am I going to Hell?”
It’s not so much that you “bring” your desires into your life, as it is to “attract” them into your life. To bring is to talk, wait, and dream; attract is to discover, move, and accept. Discover by constantly expressing your self in now with a desire to understand, Move towards a vision with a purposeful heart, and Accept the complete wholeness within the infinite you.
Comments are closed Discovery, PAW Daily Prints, Tiger's Favorites Desire -, Dream -, Infinite -, Purpose, Vision - In times of stress, take notice of your breathing. What you will find is an irregular breathing pattern that limits the oxygen flow throughout your body, creating an uncomfortable physical and emotional experience. Personally, I like to visualize myself breathing in love and exhaling fear; as I begin to relax, I refocus my mind on what I desire to experience rather than what I am experiencing.
If we can consciously control our breathing, we will find relief much easier and faster than just choosing to be emotionally reactive. In all things, be proactive towards healing and understand within you is the solution. By redirecting your focus towards what you desire, the outer world will slowly begin to come into alignment; in contrast, focusing on what you dislike about the current situation will only draw towards you more of the same. When you notice synchronicities or coincidences in your life that lead towards your true desires, take a few moments to recognize what just took place; the universe aligned your desires with the physical world right before your eyes.
By showing and expressing gratitude, you are guaranteed to experience these colorful events more often; which creates a pleasurable life experience with more ease and beauty. Comments are closed Beauty, Intuition, PAW Daily Prints Coincidence -, Creating -, Desires -, Ease -, Gratitude -, Universe - I find it funny that we get so butt-hurt when the smallest amounts of rejection seemingly come our way. Whether it’s when someone doesn’t call us back, or a comment is made that bruises our ego. Tell me why this idea of possessiveness gives us the right to control the actions and thoughts of others. Can’t we experience our lives without an attachment to the lives of other people?
Why must we feel diminished when someone else chooses differently than what we would’ve chosen? Isn’t the fact that we can consciously choose love towards ourselves enough to feel whole? Not if you believe your value is outside your self, and in the hands of another. Comments are closed Ego, PAW Daily Prints, Relationships Attachment -, Control -, Opinions of Others -, Thought - When people make generalizing statements about life or mankind, it’s often a reflection of how they secretly feel about themselves. To say “people are rude and hateful” or “life is a waste of time,” this is simply a reflection of how they see their own value at a specific time or consistently.
If we can learn to accept all people and all of life, we are able to accept ourselves more fully. If you’re someone who makes such statements, I encourage you to find the relationship between how you feel about life and people with how you feel about your self, and then begin a path of greater self acceptance. If you do, your life experience will empty itself of the pain you feel. If your current relationships do not contribute to the growth path you are on, let go of the false attachments and find friends who inspire and uplift your being. Often times this is a process that plays out naturally, if it’s not, make the conscious decision to do so.
It’s not about judging other people, it’s about seeing your own value and strength and moving towards your higher self, and not letting the lower energy of others hold you back. This is truly an empowered decision that will lead to a brighter life experience. When we consciously decide to ignore and rise above the indecency or negativity of others, their influence will fade away from our life experience.
Remember, ultimately it is you who decides what affects your emotional well being as you create your experience; don’t give away your power for inner peace. Comments are closed Depression, PAW Daily Prints emotion, Inner Peace -, negativity, Opinions of Others -, power We make progress in life when we consciously begin asking different questions. For example: someone may spend a great deal of time asking themselves, “why is this so difficult?” resulting in a list of difficulties which only drain you of empowerment. Another might ask: “How can this be easier?” which obviously results in a different set of answers.
Regardless of the questions we ask, our mind will create answers, every time. Doesn’t it make more sense to ask questions that provide empowering answers rather than negative ones? hmmmm. Thats a good question. If you wonder what it means to grow on purpose, possibly it means every day you take action towards discovering your true self. It could be as easy as reading empowering content 15 minutes per day, and making a conscious decision to practice what you learn. Maybe even taking time to journal your thoughts and reflect on what you’ve learned. If you find this to be complicated and too big of a task, take heart, because eventually you will discover life is more difficult when you choose not to grow.
My friend, it is your choice; every day, choose to reach higher. Don’t fool yourself by setting such a low standard, rise above the conditioning of a fearful world and create the life you truly desire. I believe you can, and somewhere down deep I know you believe it too. This is YOUR life; allow your dreams to become reality.

Comments are closed Discovery, Fear, Growth, PAW Daily Prints, Responsibility Beliefs -, Conscious Being -, Desires -, Purpose, True Nature -, True Self - Life is about growth. Do you really understand this? Think about what it means to expand as a conscious being, to become more of your true self. Maybe you will see that it means to increase the love you give and the love you receive. If you think this is something that just happens over time, my friend you are seriously mistaken.
At some point we must realize that growth is on purpose. It’s a decision that says we will learn and discover intentionally. If you are not at this place of understanding, your life will seem dull and repetitive with no real or genuine excitement. If you are not taking responsibility for your own growth, you are the only one to blame for your boring existence. Comments are closed Consciousness, Discovery, Growth, PAW Daily Prints, Responsibility Blame -, Conscious Being -, Expansion -, Giving -, Purpose, Receiving -, True Self -, Understanding - What if just for today… you didn’t have to be right. No need to defend your self against the opinion of other people. What if you saw others with the right to believe whatever, accepting them equally and knowing they are self. I ask ‘what if’ because it is not something to be forced; it is seeded as a choice and can be seen if you choose.
When you experience the gifts that come with this kind of acceptance, even for just a day, it can cause one to notice a brighter life experience awaiting their return. Surely, 2009 can be a year of great discovery; let us start by accepting others and our complete selves more fully. May you create joyfully in the coming year. Comments are closed Acceptance, PAW Daily Prints, Tiger's Favorites Beliefs -, Create Joyfully -, Defensive -, Opinions of Others - What I find most attractive about my wife, beyond her stunning beauty, is her willingness to BE. This willingness allows her the opportunity to discover life now, as it happens – rather than in the past or in a hopeful tomorrow. She is Hopeful Now.
Because of this, she is able to create Love when love is needed, and mend hearts when hearts are broken. She has purpose for the self, and constantly sees her good in the smiles of others. Comments are closed Beauty, Love, Now, PAW Daily Prints, Relationships, Tiger's Favorites Opportunity -, Purpose, Smiles -, Spouse -, Willingness - When we find ourselves in a place where our stomach aches from emotional turmoil, we need to recognize the opportunity for growth. Often times the solution is the adjustment of certain daily habits; without these moments of discomfort, we would not take action towards the healing process. If we can learn to accept these moments of pain, we can get over the suffering it causes and reach for a more expanded self through growth. The solution will commonly be “Doing what you can now, to express and receive more love.” Comments are closed Discovery, Growth, Now, PAW Daily Prints Action -, Daily Habits -, emotion, Healing -, Opportunity -, Pain -, Receiving - I think if life were suppose to be completely easy, it would become completely boring rather quickly. At any given time, there is a lesson to be learned, a challenge that gives rise to a more empowered you; accept this challenge. When we choose to learn through it, we expand. Creating a brighter, stronger, and more fully rounded self.
If I’m unhappy about where I spend my time, I give my empowerment over to circumstances and lose influence over my own happiness; which ultimately affects my creation potential. Life in a place of regret, stress, and unhappiness leads to a lower vibrational match to what I desire. To regain focus, I must take responsibility and understand happiness is my own doing, and trust in the intentions I have sent out.
Comments are closed PAW Daily Prints, Responsibility Circumstances -, Creating -, Focus -, Happiness -, Intention -, Vibration - The beliefs we hold about ourselves and about life, will paint the picture of your life experience. Understand, beliefs take time. You have spent many years exhaling a limited idea. If we find an empowering belief, it is something to be built on and not admired. We must ask ourselves, How can I apply this new thought to my life in a simple way? …and then move.
Other people will always create their own definition of who I am. But honestly, what does their opinion have anything to do with the definition I choose to give my self. If I let other people define who I am, I give over the power to create my own life.
Comments are closed PAW Daily Prints, Random, Tiger's Favorites Create -, Opinions of Others -, power Here’s the point. Find what empowers the real you to grow, and expand on it. Take note of the limiting thoughts that hold you back and replace them with a brighter vision. If you don’t know how… Find a Way.
When you can see and acknowledge another man’s/woman’s genius, you will put yourself in a better position to have a beneficial relationship. If you focus on another person’s strength, you often don’t have time to let their weaknesses bother you.
Find comfort in this, because to understand what I’ve said, means many of those we do struggle with, no longer have to play that role in our lives; we can now create a new meaning and with this comes new opportunities with that relationship. Comments are closed PAW Daily Prints, Relationships Comfort -, Genius -, Meaning -, Strength -, Understanding -, Weakness - Did you know that you can direct coincidences, those moments which seem colorfully connected to life? All these little curious events, are connected to the thoughts you hold. It’s an intention that holds in mind the higher good of man, a love for one’s self, and the acceptance of others; if our thoughts are in this place, life will become an adventure worth living.

During this process we will begin to notice how the social norm is no longer coherent. What was invaluable yesterday, seems pointless today. Life for some has become bland and shaded.
This is simply to point us in a direction of self discovery; to show us who we truly are. Don’t resist changing the sour taste in your world; if you know you have more to give, don’t fear the idea of removing old and worn out ideas; along with changing current relationships that are holding you back.

Live today with an awareness of your inner guilt and understand the suffering it causes; while seeing it is based on perception and non acceptance.
Creativity does not come from originality, it is remembered through collective possibility.
Sometimes when we wait to be inspired, we miss out on the greatest of discoveries.
You are invited to take responsibility for you life, rather than control of it.
Times of growth are almost always met with resistence; so get over it. Stop resisting the resistance, this will create space in your natural resisting; giving rise to receive more.
I find it interesting that what people complain most about, is often what’s most prevalent in their lives. I believe major growth begins, when we discover life is entertained by our thoughts.
Some people see fear, and it empowers them to see more Love, others observe fear and become trapped in their own mind.
Comments are closed Discovery, Growth, Intuition, One Liners, PAW Daily Prints Mind -, observe, Trapped - Stepping out of your comfort zone to express more Love, is like slowly removing parts of a fear based identity we have become accustomed to; no wonder it feels so unnerving. As I step out of my own comfort zone, I am now discovering, if I’m focused on acceptance and detach from outcome, it’s much easier to trust all will be well.
When you see Love, let Love know. Acknowledge the goodness around you, and it will be more willing to come around your way.
Comments are closed Love, One Liners, PAW Daily Prints, Poetic, Tiger's Favorites Goodness -, Perception - Non resistance of emotion, brings you to a point of greater receptivity. When we sit with a negative emotion while resisting its presence – its right to be, we only rob ourselves of the blessings trying to come through.
Human beings tend to busy their lives in hopes they don’t have to discover themselves. We fill our time and our mind with pointless action and information, and then try and convince ourselves it’s really important. We wonder why we feel so unfulfilled.
