Have you ever had one of those days where everything went WRONG and then it just snowballed onto many other things going WRONG? You are not alone! Stuff happens and if we let it get to us, of course the rest of the day follows in the same fashion.

If you have been reading my recent posts, you would know that I broke my wrist recently whilst trekking in Papua New Guinea and I have to tell you that it’s no fun learning to do things differently… namely, using my WRONG hand for everything. However, I put a positive spin on it and found that change is a good thing. It actually gets you to be more aware of the things you do and how you do them.

Sometimes, we get stuck in a rut and have difficulty getting out of it. Having a new thought can bring about the most amazing results due to the actions we take to do things differently. Have a think about that and see what you can do differently to bring about better results or rather, the results that you want to achieve and remain in a state of GRATITUDE!

I would like to share this Message from the Universe which I received today as I feel compelled to share it with you so here goes…

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: THE UNIVERSE
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is The Universe. Today I will be handling ALL of your problems for you. I do NOT need your help. So, have a nice day and have some fun… okay… and remember, I love you.

P.S. And also remember…

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do NOT attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFTUTD (something for the Universe to do) box. I will get to it AT THE RIGHT TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in UNIVERSAL time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don’t despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work, think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad, think of the person who has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance, think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the cancer patient in chemotherapy who wishes she had the hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities, remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Should you decide to share this with a friend or three, Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you go and have a nice day… THE UNIVERSE

So there is your inspiration for the day… now for your sake… GO AND HAVE A NICE DAY!

Here’s a quickie… Chilly from On the Bricks has asked me to help with the launch of Across The Universe by the Beatles as NASA is going to to the star Polaris, 431 light years away (that’s 431 years travel at the speed of light before our all-time favorite Beatles song reaches the 2.5 quadrillion miles away star). This is being done at 0:00 GMT February 4th, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the song, the 45th anniversary of NASA’s Deep Space Network, an international network of antennas that supports missions to explore the universe, and the 50th anniversary of NASA.

NASA has invited people around the world to play Across the Universe on their audio systems at the same time NASA beams its mp3 version into outer space. The idea was hatched by Beatles’ historian Martin Lewis, who encourages all Beatles fans to play the track as it is being beamed to the distant star. Additionally, this date will be known as Across the Universe Day. The event marks the first time a radio song has been beamed into deep space.

I did play it at the correct time… just didn’t get to publish it on time! So I will leave this up for you to enjoy… Beatles fans everywhere… rejoice!

EDIT: Please note I removed the player as it was interfering with other videos etc on my site. Visit Chilly’s site to hear the Beatles sing “Across the Universe” Thanks, Ange.

This last week has been rather busy keeping up with birthday parties and other family celebrations. In other words, I have been distracted in bringing chaos into order and I have not brought you anything new. Some of you may think that having an order for everything is the only way to live. Tell me if that is so. I would be interested to hear how you do it.

I have never been one for taking too much notice of authority, and not having had a structure in place for most things, (except for when I used to have a 9 - 5 JOB), I now find myself thinking that chaos could be a sign of intelligence searching for the right path.

My friends in the blogosphere have been a wealth of knowledge in regards to how to keep my blog on track and building a community and this is very important in standing out in the crowd. So much so, that I was tagged with another meme, and I regret to say that I cannot participate in this one. Not that there is anything that I don’t like about it, it’s just that I need to get back to the roots of why I am here, which is to give you something to think about and apply to your life, as long as it fits with you and where you are at.

Your Wish Is My Command

I look at this picture often and imagine myself there, just looking out at the sky filled with stars - shooting stars, big, bright stars - naming them. Remember back to the last time you saw a falling star. Did you make a wish. Did you share it with anyone or keep it to yourself.

I remember a couple of months back, I stepped outside into the back-yard one night to take out some recycling, and as I did, the sky above was very clear and I watched what looked like the biggest star in the sky falling down towards the earth. Just like the one in the picture here.

Everyone was asleep here, so I jumped online to find the first person I could to share it with. It was just amazing to watch and I made a wish. If you have seen The Secret, and I know many of you have, then you would remember that James Ray talks about Aladdin and his lamp. When the lamp is dusted off and the genie pops out, he only says one thing: Your wish is my command.

The story actually states that there are three wishes, but if you trace the story back to its origins, there is absolutely no limit. I often watch The Secret as part of my personal development. There are some things that stick and some that don’t, depending on when I watch it. I seem to always find some new comment that I have missed in previous viewings.

So I want you to think about the things that you DO want. When I say DO want, I mean that you DO want them. Whatever you think about, comes about, even if it is not what you want. If it is on your mind, the Universe cannot tell the difference. For example, if you say that you don’t want to catch a cold, guess what, you catch a cold. It has been on your mind. I have proven this to myself even. Yes, I do get it wrong too at times. During the winter here, everyone around me was catching the flu, and I kept saying, I never get sick… I won’t catch the flu… and guess what… I caught the flu. The Law of Attraction was definitely at work then!

Okay, so think about what you DO want and imagine yourself already with that thing. Whether it be a holiday you want to take but have not set any plans in place as yet, or it may be a new outfit, tickets to a concert, a new laptop… what ever it is. The trick is to feel what it would feel like already having it. What would you say. Where would you be. What feelings will you feel. What is the date. These are all things that should be considered, and then write it all down on paper. As you are writing, feel those feelings, see yourself there, speak the words you would speak when you have it. This all helps in getting what you DO want. Hold the image of what you want in your mind. Express gratitude for having received it.

If it is a new house you want, be specific with how many rooms you want, whether it has a basement for storage. Do you want 3 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, surround sound system wired through every room. Is it a multi-level home on land with a lake for swimming or a swimming pool in the back-yard. Then search for houses like this that are up for sale and when you find one with your specifications, go and inspect it, walk through the house and feel like it is yours. Where would your bed go. How will the living room be furnished. Have these images in your head and put out the feelings you will feel knowing you have it.

My wish for you is that you put these principles into action. Start big or start small. Write down a list of what you want and get busy feeling the abundance that the Universe has for you. It is a natural law and you deserve everything that you want out of life. You have the power. Use it as you see fit.

Dedicated to Success.
