Smiling while wounded

Wounded

I was reading and came across the word

Flash to this I created

In more ways than one

Not all wounds are seen

But indeed they are there and deep

I felt sad revisiting this time

I look and wanted to say I’m sorry

You needed helped in such a bad way

Instead you faked smiles

And life is good

Falling and tumbling inside

…Interesting how the doggies could sense it

Don’t suffer in silence❤️

* These were taken during my divorce back in 2015. Fast forward to two days ago when I saw Elton John on his Goodbye yellow brick road tour. He told a story of how it took him so many years to learn 3 words that would change his life —> I Need Help. Once he admitted it and said it to all to hear LOVE came flooding in. How I wish now that I would of had the courage then to voice those words. Learning as I go.

Marital Status

After 3.5 years, I’m tired of the divorced label projected externally and internally. For those who have been through it, can you relate? I’ve slowly progressed to Single😊

Plan B………….No

January 7, 2019January 7, 2019 / Dwight / 1 Comment

How many of us go through life with having plan B’s and even plan C’s…and then end up living them? Some call it having a safety net.

I’m beginning to Get It that having a safety net isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Living and wondering what if isn’t much fun and isn’t living!

What if just for once you didn’t have a safety net? What if your only way to move forward was to make your PLAN A WORK? How would that change your life?

Have you ever been in a situation where a plan b wasn’t even an option? If you’ve been in those types of situations as hard as it was you realize how much growth came from that experience and satisfaction gained going for it!

Next time you have to make a decision. Think about this. Go with option A and give it 100%. Don’t back down as ugly and as scary as it might become. Tell the other safe options to kiss your ass!!!

Don’t settle. Keep looking up and moving forward!

Dwight goes marbles!

What can you do with one marble?

See the jar on the right? What’s different between that and the Others?

It’s POTENTIAL! It’s me.

At least that’s how I’m rolling with it for my new 2019 ritual.

I got the idea from James Clear in his book called Atomic Habits. James says we as a group love to track and describes by how using marbles as an example we can track the habits we strive for in life. I found the book quite interesting and highly recommended it! I have this make belief world in my head where I’m doing EVERYTHING right and only doing good things – only to awaken after another year and nothing changes. This year I’m going to change all that and roll with James idea and put my own spin on it!

So in my world I start on the left jar with Spirit. For me, it’s all the energy and abundance that surrounds Everything. This spirit supplies the universe with its energy and opportunities of possibilities which is represented in my middle jar. Each soul has the opportunity to dance with this energy of the universe or not. If you choose not Spirit doesn’t care. It will just dance by giving you “NOT”. I for one am tired of not and not growing and expanding to my full beautiful potential. This year I’m the right jar and my job is to dance with the universe and fill it with good habits.

I first started off by writing down all the good themes that I currently think would turn my life around and I could use to make me more accountable.

Next I think about some habits I could use that will guide me in the right direction. For every action I take the universe of possibility smiles and gladly puts a marble in my jar.

For each positive action, I get another marble.

As soon as the universe of possibility transfers a marble, spirit replenishes it just as easy as that.

There is an infinite amount of “marbles” the universe of possibility can contain. All I need to do is ACT and start the dance.

So I put the jars in my living room where I can see them daily just waiting for me to play. I discovered right of the bat though to keep the lids open – it helps with flow.

Every action taken that day toward my themes gets a marble from the universe of possibility put into my jar. Not only do I move it over, but I also write it down.
