Something I wrote in another blog, but need to remind myself.
I have to admit, I’ve never read the best seller, The Secret. All the buzz I’ve heard though, is how a person can manifest what he/she wants by visualizing it. If you wish it, it will happen. If you build it, they will come. And, I say, if you write it, maybe you can sell it. If you don’t try to write it, then you will fail before you ever started, because you never tried to create in the first place.
What about trying to create a writing life? Creating a space where you write, and can even earn a living? I say take little tiny steps, and don’t give up. Start small and think big. Open your mind to possibilities.
Well, that’s what I’m doing. Taking my energy and putting it where I love. To books, to writing, to writing what I love to write about, which is books, stories, and writing. I’m keeping my mind open to learn as much as I can along the way.
It’s not top secret, it’s not something I’ve discovered even recently. It’s the thoughts I’ve had since I was in my 20’s, but just the kind of thinking I keep forgetting. Keep my intention forefront, keep my mind open, pay attention, look for opportunites and keep working. It’s not talent or luck, it’s just persistence and maintaining focus.
One of these days I’ll have to read that book or watch that DVD and see how secret The Secret really is.

Just thinking how nothing ever remains the same. The only constant thing about living is that everything changes. If what is here now might be gone tomorrow, then desire to keep everything exactly the same is futile. It just isn't going to work. You can't just assume it's always going to be there. People grow, animals die, the day turns to night, all is in flux. Even letters carved in stone will eventually fade by time, wind and water. If I can't keep it, why am I so attached? And if I want to stay attached, that means I have to adapt, to work on my relationships, to keep my body and mind healthy. I can't assume they will just be while I sit on my ass.
