Bordering On Magnificent INDIFFERENCE

What is the opposite of LOVE?

Most people would answer HATE.

I read this thought from the book
The Four Hour Work Week and TOTALY agree.
The opposite of LOVE is NOT "hate"

The opposite of LOVE, is INDIFFERENCE!

You can be passionate about hating someone.
You can be passionate about disagreeing with someone.

Either of these is preferable to being treated with indifference.

When we disregard others
when we act with indifference,
we are making a physical statement about their worth in our eyes,
when we Physically choose not to look at or acknowledge someone's presence,
we are sending the message that they do not exist in our space.

This can be a useful way to clear the space you're in
of people and energy that is not genuine or beneficial
especially when you have exhausted all other means of creating
a healthy space to rock.

It should not, however, be the first choice in most cases.

Giving people an OPEN door to walk in through can start with a smile,
or a sincere complement,
or simply acknowledging that we are glad
to be sharing space and even
literally breathing the same air.
I imagine that even those miners
who have been trapped for HOW MANY DAYS NOW?
are grateful for the companionship of those around them.


Who can we give that gift to????
How about THE NEXT PERSON WE ENCOUNTER AFTER READING THIS?

Rock the space you're in by focusing on someone you are sharing
your space at work at home at school
or the line at the grocery store with.


Love and Peace of Mind,
Delight and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,

Bordering On Magnificent LIVING

Some people have alot. . .
some people have less. . .

I know some people who do real well
on less...
They have a way of making the most of everything.

I've had more
and not known what to do with it...
...how to make it last.

I've had less. . . .
and made it work.

Right now. . .
I Want More!

More is for doing things with. . .
like paying off debts and the kindnesses of others over the years.

More is for. . getting to be on the giving end
instead of merely trying to make the ends meet.

More is for having More than enough
for enjoying good food (like sushi) and adventures,
More comes in handy for starting new things (like a business)
and celebrating what was
(like taking a vacation with family or old friends)

What would I DO with MORE?

I would spend More of my time
in worth-while ways...
EVERYDAY.

I would spend More of my time with the people I love.

I will have More
by spending less time each day on unworthy pursuits.

I will have MORE by doing what I am on the planet for...

I will have MORE in less time
by working 4 hours a week on something truly meaningful.


PLEASE READ THE BOOK:

THE 4 HOUR WORK WEEK
by Timothy Ferriss

WHY ARE PEOPLE AFRAID TO SAY THEY WANT MORE?

MORE IS GOOD!

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR MORE ? ? ? ? ?

ROCK THE SPACE YOU'RE IN!
by reading that book,
and by Wanting and Creating MORE in your life.

Love and Peace of Mind,
Delight and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,
Joy

Bordering On Magnificent QUITTING

When is QUITTING a good thing???

How about quitting
when you are heading
back to the buffet
"to get yourself another plate of crazy"?

Perhaps when we are doing
the same thing
for the GAZILLIONTH time...
even if it isn't a bad thing,
just THE SAME THING
...again...
it MAY be time to stop
and find a new thing.

Reaching(mindlessly)
for that can of Diet Coke?
for that debit card?
for that same tired CD?
for another lite beer?
Have that SAME "burgerlunch" yesterday, and the day before,and the day before?

We all do it.

We get comfortable
with the sameness.

We may even always hang out with the same people,
to the exclusion of meeting
some of the other
zillion and a half other
fascinating and amazing
humans on the planet.

Same Job?
Change how you act there.

Same Chores?
Choose to do them at a different time. Maybe 2a.m.

Same Music?
Change the station.
Borrow CD's from the Local Library.

Same Four Walls? PAINT ONE TURQUOISE OR RED OR PINK.

Same food?
TRY DRAGON PALACE Chinese
in Tinley Park
for a whole week.
(and eat it with chopsticks!)

Shake it up baby!

LET'S ROCK THE SPACE WE'RE IN
by Doing SOME-THINGS Different!

And PLEASE
Let me know what YOU did!

Love and Peace of mind,
Delight, and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,
JOY

Bordering On Magnificent PERCEPTION

5 people can look at the same thing and each see it differently.
They could all look at the same situation
and see different posibilities in it
or different outcomes to it
based on their own experiences or feelings.

You have all heard someone speak of
"seeing the glass as half full or half empty",
usually meant to seperate the "positive" people from the "negative" ones.

I really don't like things that seperate humans so much from each other...
I LOVE the idea that we all could
put aside our own fears and need to win or be "right"
and just really Listen to each others HEARTS...
and HEAR their opinions,
or beliefs,
or what they are feeling...
and not be afraid of it or feel the need to fix it...
but just to be open to understanding and valuing
the ideas that are a part of who they are.

I can jump in before I have fully heard what someone is saying
and totally miss the point
or the heart of what they needed to share.

I am sorry for the times I have done that
to any of you that I know well.
I used to do it more often because as a kid
I always felt the need to get in a good defence
before i got a beating.

When People feel misunderstood or picked on for a long time
they tend to do this.
I believe that LOVE and UNDERSTANDING
can help us all
to REALLY LISTEN, AND also REALLY BE HEARD.

We need both,
We ALL NEED to LET OUR SPIRIT HAVE A VOICE
and we can all give each other the gift
of being valued and REALLY HEARD.

LET'S ROCK THE SPACE WE'RE IN THIS WEEK
BY SPEAKING OUT WHAT WE FEEL AND THINK,
AND REALLY GETTING MORE COMFORTABLE
WITH LISTENING TO THE HEART AND VOICE OF THOSE AROUND US...
(EVEN OLDER PEOPLE AND KIDS)

Love and Peace of Mind,
Delight, and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,
JOY

Bordering On Magnificent INSPIRATION

Sasquatch music festival 2009 - Guy starts dance party

What did you think of this guy???
Just ONE Person...doing his thing...
and HUNDREDS of people join in!

WHAT COULD YOU or I START or JOIN???
And what could happen if we did our own thing,
that we are here to do,
out loud,
in public
just because it's what we are here for...
and it gave others FREEDOM...
To join in our thing...
or start something NEW on their own.

It could be something seemingly silly to others,
or it could be something seriously needed for others...
either way,
All it takes is ONE to start to:
ROCK THE SPACE YOU'RE IN!

Love and Peace of Mind,
Delight, and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,
JOY
