Journal Entry - 2/7/09

2/7/09

Today I was sitting on my balcony
in awe of the beauty around me.
I am currently living in a hotel
on the marina,in Oxnard, CA. I have
the most amazing view. I am on the
third floor right above a wonderul
little park and tennis courts. I
have an amazing view of the beautiful
mountains in the distance and the
marina with all of the boats right
below me.

Today is a rainy day and in the distance
low clouds lightly covered the snow covered
mountains.

Across the park, there is a little meeting room
that has meetings almost daily. I do not
know exactly what meetings go on there. Today
I found myself really appreciating all of
the people gathering together and joining
as one in the pursuit of one common interest,
whatever that may be.

As I was meditating on my balcony, after reading
a verse from Wayne Dyer's "Change Your Thoughts,
Change Your Life", I tuned into all of the soothing
sounds surrounding me. I felt the love as the people
entering the meeting, across the park, laughed
together and greeted each other. I appreciated the
beauty of the soothing songs from the singing birds.

When I opened my eyes I found myself watching the
water resting calmly after a hard rain.

Since I have moved back to California, in mid
December, I have really been embracing my
surroundings and allowing myself to be captivated
by the awe of God's beauty.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Who Is The True You?

Who are you really? Are you one person
at home and a different person at work??
Are you one way with your friends and a
different person with your family??

One of the biggest keys to true happiness is
knowing who YOU are, and being that person
in ANY environment.

You cannot be completely happy, when you are
constantly altering who you are to fit in to what
you think other people want you to be. If you are
one person at home and then a completely different
person at work, you cannot be completely happy
because you are not being true to YOU. YOU need
to be YOU, the true YOU, wherever you are.

Whether you are at work, at home, with friends,
with family, in the ghetto, in wealthy surroundings,
in the desert, in the mountains, with strangers, in an
interview, etc...... No matter where you are and what
your environment is...... just be YOU!!!!

Take time and get quiet and really take a look at who YOU
are at the core. When you strip down all of the different
personas that you put up to "fit in" in different environments,
who are you at the very core? That is your TRUE SELF! Let
your TRUE SELF shine through 100% of the time.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! YOU DO NOT NEED TO TRY
TO BE ANYBODY DIFFERENT!!!
