Vision of Change

I have been reading the book The Secret and I have read the book Conversations with God and they both talk about being the creator of your life and using envisioning to do that. This isn't just some spiritual mumbo-jumbo, most business books will tell you if you want to be successful you need a plan and you need to see it on paper draw it out and then focus on making that plan a reality. These books may approach the point of view that the Universe is this powerful being that works from within you to create the life you want, but this is exactly how any successful person would tell you they got their life started. First you imagine what you want your life to look like and what you want to be doing in your life, what will bring you fulfillment and what is your part in the world. After you have imagined all this you put it out into the Universe as a wish for these things to come true. As you are truly desiring these things to happen in your life you take small steps everyday to make them happen and as these parts become easier and easier you get closer and closer to your desires.

This is how life works for many people. Anyone whose life isn't working this way is not thinking or desiring anything, so they go to a job they don't like, they talk to people they don't care about and they come home and watch TV and eat bad food. They complain how boring their lives are because they have done nothing to dream, they have done nothing to move forward and they don't really want anything. If they wanted anything they would put steps forward to getting it. If this sounds like you, don't worry it has been me for a long time as well. But now I want to move forward and I am taking some small steps. I am reading books, I did some therapy and I am looking at my writing to see what is good and what can be taken to a publisher. This is the only the beginning and it feels new and scary but it also is a challenge and it feels like living again and it feels like I'm a part of my own life not just a person that sits around and complains.

This is my wish to the Universe.

I am a children's author of several successful lines of books that aim to educate kids on disability and being vulnerable and authentic. I speak to large groups of people that love and adore me and I travel regularly to speak and stay in wonderful hotels and resorts. I have more than enough money and I am taken care of by many people and my family and friends all appreciate my generosity in return. I am happy, I am healthy, I am spiritually fulfilled and I am open minded to all people and ideas. I am living the life of my dreams and I made this happen by wanting it to happen.

Thank you Universe.

Authenticity happens Authenticly

I have been struggling to make moves forward with my business plans and with my writing due to a lack of confidence. I ask myself what I want to get out of all of this. People come at me and say I should be a motivational speaker but I see it as total hypocrisy. I don't see myself as motivating. And that is not to say I don't have a great story that could motivate people but I question what it means to motivate people at all. In my mind I am best motivated not by a person telling me how they have faced challenges and then over come those challenges. Instead I want proof that we can all overcome that one big thing that we think is holding us back. I am motivated by people that teach me the skills I need to make a difference and that to me that begins with education. I don't just want to be a motivator I want to teach people something about life. I want to find a simple idea or skill use it to get them to see the world in a different way.

So how can I do that? My plan is writing books for children with lessons that can get them to understand themselves and the world more clearly. I think we have become overrun with so many forms of communication that we have lost sight of the message and clarity has disappeared. I want to bring back that clarity of the mind and teaches kids how to think, act and react in a clear way that will gain them appreciation and success in their lives. By teaching them a true skill I bring to the table more than a story that they can use to power themselves, I bring a plan that they can follow and as they see themselves succeeding they become self motivated.

I think my hesitation before now has been I didn't want to be something I wasn't. I'm not the guy to tell you my life was hard, every one's life is hard. Mine wasn't made harder from my disability, in many ways it was an advantage. I don't want to be inauthentic talking about struggles that I didn't face, or challenges that didn't really stop me. I don't want to talk about how my disability made me the person I am today and that if everyone looks at their challenges the way I did they can turn their lives around. That isn't my story.

My story is about taking advantage of what I have and going forward. Not letting attitude slow you down, and setting goals for yourself so that you can benchmark your life. This isn't unlike most people's advice. What makes me different is that I used my disability to help me gain every advantage I could. I used it as a tool and I used it as a reason to say don't feel sorry for me because I have a plan and I am going somewhere.

My message is to be that motivated person with ideas and real advice. Being a role model not as someone to others to follow but as one that says be comfortable with who you are and you will be your own role model. I want to encourage others to be the best person they can be for themselves. By being authentic, showing your fears, discussing your setback, you allow yourself to struggle and make mistakes without being ashamed of them. Use these set backs to guide your character, and know what not to do and how you do not want to feel. And with this reflection on personal experience you become a person who is vulnerable to emotion but powerful in spirit and humble enough to not crush the person behind you but instead offer them a hand. Give them the same advantage you have and then compete on the same level. The lesson is we are all in this together. Life isn't this race to be the best. If everyone is just in it for themselves them we are all losers.

Releasing my fear to succeed

I have had something holding me back from trying hard to find my dream of being a writer. Most of it had been fear, fear of failing but also fear of succeeding. How is that possible? Well I'm not entirely sure. I know that I planned my life out when I was young. I would get good grades in high school go to college get a job working with computers and then marry, buy a house have two kids and then at some point retire become a teacher, travel and then die. Yes, that was my dream of my life from age 16. Most people might think that was sad but it was comforting to me. And guess what, I was pretty close. By age 29 I had a great job, house, two kids but I hated my marriage. And by age 30 the marriage was over and she took the kids leaving me with a job that wasn't as fufilling as before. My early success had taken me so far but it left me unhappy, failure and lose at lease gave me a chance to start over. I found a new partner and began new challenges and I decided I wanted to become a writer. But even that dream seems a bit of a reach. As I came closer to success it seemed more of a challenge. And it has become easier to stay stuck in my current job then to really push myself to be a writer. So I wait, and wait and see my promising years pass. But the other day my brain said, "I don't want to live in fear anymore!" So that is why I am blogging again. That is why I am going back to therapy and working on my mental blocks, that is why I am rereading old poems. Because I don't want to give up, I don't want fear to win. I want to at least give it a shot and know I failed trying rather than letting fear steal away my success. So this is the first of many steps ahead, but it's better than sitting around doing nothing being afraid if my own success.

Choosing Glee

I saw a book at the library that just called out to me, sure it was written for teenagers, maybe even for girls but hey you gotta start somewhere. The book is called Choosing Glee and it is by Jenna Ushkowitz. The subtitle is: 10 rules to finding inspiration, happiness, and the real you. I want that, that was the first step. I admit that I am unhappy, uninspired and not the real me. I am a cardboard cut out of my formerly happy self and if this young girl even had one rule that could help me then I figured I'd give it a try, after all the book isn't that long and it is full of pictures. But the real draw is that it is written like a journal and had quizzes and homework assignments in it. So I'm diving in, I'm ready to meet the real me and who knows maybe I'll learn a thing or two.
The first big assignment is brainstorming. She is challenging me to dream a little. This has been tough for me because I'm usually a realist, but maybe that is my way of avoiding disappointment. In any case, dreaming has been difficult for me since I've had my hopes dashed before. But if first you don't succeed, try not to mess it up the next time around!
Time to put on my dreaming cap.......
I see myself making a deference in people's lives, I see me making money speaking to people and teaching them about vulnerability and strength and how to communicate. I am selling books and I am signing them in a huge bookstore with a long lime of people that have brought their children to meet me and to listen to me read and tell my story. I am surrounded by people that appreciate what I have to share and can relate to my story of wanting to be treated fairly, or wanting to belong. I take my struggles, my failures and my hard lessons learned and I expose myself to them and they see themselves and they achieve success with me. This thing called life is a shared experience and my sharing brings me more life than if I hold it all in. And that brings me peace and I hope it starts "the change in the world that I want to be."

Desktop TD PRO Defeat Creep II 2 Maze


 
The key is to maximize the frost guns and juggle the entrance as seen where my green square is present.  I like to make two or three battle fields highlighted by a boost. The central bash is on level 5 with 100% boost for maximum damage.

Silly Willy

I know that I'm funny
And weird as can be
Yes I can be zany
And a bit crazy
But when the kids
Started saying
That I was Silly Silly
It was like the door
Opened up for more opportunity
I am silly! Yes so silly!
I make people smile
I am silly, Silly Willy
And I barely even try
I just come up with faces
Making others giggle until they cry
And run around in circles
Yelling "I got it" at the sky
Some times I do cart wheels
Or juggle funny things
Some times I pretend to fall
Some times I pretend to sing
But every time it's fun for me
I am always laughing the loudest
And every time I do my best
And I am always the proudest
And in the end people question
"Why are you so silly Willy?"
And I look them in the face and say,
"Because it's just me being me.
I don't do it for attention.
I don't do it to make friends.
I do it for the joy
it brings to me in the end"
