I Am Done

This really helped me.

Thanks!

I wonder how he feels now in 2021
🤔✨

I love this sweet friend. I try so hard to see the positive around me, because it is my grandmother's legacy. I was only 8 years old when her pancreas took her away from me, but she had instilled a lot of compassion and life lessons in me by then. When people come into my life with negativity and pettiness I try to see that they are hurting and look deeper. Unfortunately some will see that compassion as an open door to take advantage, but I have found generally I can find kindness reciprocated even in the darkness, if I'm willing to shine a light. Good post my sweet friend.

My mum told me one at the hospital when my brother was in and I was ranting about the fact I never got picked for anything at school especially in plays she asked me to ask them what they are looking for and if I wanted something bad enough I would get it. I was about 13 or 14 at the time and I thought she had done crazy. Then I realised she was right and I worked for what I wanted, I dropped out of school at 15 I , I didn’t get the acting parts as I was no longer in school , plus I was bad at acting and was just getting over my overly shyness. But I got some things I wanted , I got over my shyness on stage as I when was homeschooled we had drama classes to help with anxiety, I sung in pubs at the weekends and I got good at singing and gained a lot of confidence. I still haven’t got everything I’ve always wanted but I wanted to preform without being shy and I did that , plus I wanted a name for myself which i got when I wrote stories for children. I wanted to be famous but that didn’t happen as I was so young but I was half way there when I got myself out there. I guess my mum was right in away.

This is so on point, so true. Thanks for posting it. One of my fave. authors, Byron Katie, made a similar point in one of her works/books ... that 'no one has met another human being.' That we don't TRULY know another- we just make these slight judgments or we put our own Perceptions , on them.. thinking we 'know' about their life, their views, or we come to these petty conclusions about them, therefore never having truly MET someone else. I do it occasionally I"m sure.. I'll see a guy who I might find very attractive, but he SEEMS cocky or full of himself, so I'll turn away. When in reality, he may NOT be cocky or maybe it's just a show at that moment, and not the True self...thank you again for this reflective post 🌻

Your attitude goes a long way in creating your reality. Your grandmother was a very wise woman my friend. 🤗

I think we are coming up on the last days because people are spewing more hate than ever before, 😞things are getting so out of control. I just try to hang on to all the happiness I can find. Yes, we need to all try and be part of the solution and not part of the problem. 🌎️Good story.⭐️

So true. I've noticed that in similar circumstances, positive people will always find good, and negative people will always find bad. One's mindset definitely shapes their perception.

My mom and dad have always told my sister and I "live your lives, focus on being the best people you can, and above all, be happy." I believe you are right, your point of view depends on what you will see in the world. I see a world of good people and bad people, but I believe that the good outweighs the bad. People have called me names for my political and religious ideology but I don't let it get to me. They are miserable and have deep rooted issues they need to work out for themselves. Ignore those people and keep focused on the good.

I love this.
The human mind is very powerful, and under utilized. Your cup is half full, and we need more people with your mind set.

i couldn't agree more - one of the things I am trying at the moment is to have complain free or whinge free days - its actually really hard - and easier to start with complain free hours - an aim would be a complain free month. year, life ..... the language we all use every day makes this difficult - " ... then the shit will hit the fan " for example - an exaggeration in every day use that is almost certainly never seen in reality. We tend to paint a worse picture than reality?

Its a shame i can only click '❤' once....

There is plenty of good food for thought in this thread.I've been consciously trying to bring these thoughts to bear in my daily reality lately rather than just reacting or future tripping.thanks for helping clarify.

[quote]Maybe my grandmother was right. Maybe the world is a bad place because that is all we are looking for, and so that is all we see.[/quote]
Heck yeah she was. People suck!! (But not your grandma) I just won’t allow it.

You’re so right!! Thank you, this is nicely written and your grandma was right. 😊

My grandma wouldn’t accept anything but “finished”. She’d say “Meat is done, people are finished” and then we had to ask politely. 😝

Great post!

Thanks..

[b]My[/b] grandmother used to say, “one is judged by the company one keeps“.

You are absolutely correct in my opinion and so was your Late grandmother.

I was born and raised on a tobacco farm. My father still says to this day what I never understood until I had experienced my own grand epiphany in life. He says, "Today's harvest is only as bountiful as yesterday's intent, regardless of the weather in-between".

It wasn't until I had finally perfected the Art of Manifestation as it applied to myself in my daily life, did I finally clue-in to what he had always known about this thing called 'manifestation of intent', yet never told me about along the way.

He always inferred to me at planting time in the Spring, that if you only have poor seed or poor seedlings at your disposal to plant, always tell those seeds as you hold them, that they are the finest specimens in the land and they will produce more than all the very best seeds combined. Knowing what he was actually saying as he spoke to those seeds, I told him regularly that he was nuts.

What I never understood was, that if you believe something is of poor quality and low-yield potential, you are setting that thought in motion and what you will manifest in the end, is exactly what you have believed-in all along in your mind.

If you tell yourself you have garbage, you will manifest more garbage. If you tell yourself that you are unworthy of better, you will manifest more 'unworthy of better'. If you tell yourself that you want the very best as if you have already received it in your hand, you will manifest more of the best. Its a primary Law of the Universe which your grandmother was obviously in tune with as well. If you think bad thoughts, your eyes will only be presented with bad outcomes, just as she inferred.

When you say something to yourself as you try to sound as convincing to yourself as you possibly can, such as..[/c] "Maybe all women ignore you or treat you bad because you expect them to"... [c=#008099]you will actually manifest all women that you subsequently meet, to then ignore you or treat you badly ..because you want them to. By giving power to that thought by first believing it, you then manifest that thought as if you had fully intended that thought to be true, thus bringing it to fruition and being not at all surprised when it arrives.

Anytime you start out by setting the ground rules for your own expectations in life, you can NEVER say to the universe what you DON'T want... Every thought you think, every word of intent you say, comes to fruition through unconsciously subscribed manifestation. You therefore ONLY say, what you DO want... and be as detailed and precise as your mind will allow you to manifest those images.

And never, ever say to yourself or a handful of seeds for that matter, "You will never amount to anything of interest". And just as your grandmother inferred, you have to say what you 'want', expect to receive what you 'say' and expect to see what you 'thought'.

As my father still says and I now understand, "Today's harvest is yesterday's intent. Today's thought however, will be tomorrow's harvest, so choose well today and decide today what tomorrow's harvest will look like, be it good or bad it matters not what you choose, it all takes the same amount of time to harvest!"[/c]

"If you look for something long and hard enough, you usually find it... Even if it doesn't really exist."
[c=#008099]
Your grandmother was correct. What she was unknowingly referring to however, was something called 'manifestation'.

'Manifestation' means, to create from the mind that which is only an idea and then cause it's physicality to manifest into fruition.

But where that "something" exists that your grandmother was talking about, is in our mind... like an image. It does not necessarily exist in reality.

And when we focus on that image long and hard enough in our mind, the reason we will usually find it is because we unknowingly manifest it into our physical reality. In other words, we either 'make' it become real, or we are physically positioned somewhere on earth where it already physically exists, which means direct ourselves to go where it is located.

Suddenly, it appears right in front of us! Yes, of course it suddenly appears! It either happened because we brought it into fruition with intense thinking, or we took ourselves to where it is was located all along!

If you are poor, you made that happen for yourself.

If you are rich, you also made that happen.

If you have not yet met a certain person, you chose that for yourself.

If you are swamped with certain people, you brought them to yourself.

What we don't give ourselves credit for, is creating our own 'luck' or 'wealth' or 'poverty'. We tend to think someone else or some random circumstance caused us to fall victim to our lot in life.

Truth is, we manifest our lot in life and always have, but never knew we were 'doing' it to ourselves.[/c]
