Maintaining a Happy Place and Positive Outlook through the World Chaos

So much is happening all around us.  It may seem like change is never going to come.  This comes back to the blog I did about your vision, what you see "Without A Vision the People Perish".

Trying to maintain my happy place in the face of "bills due", "job or career search and bomb", and "plans not working out how you plan it" on top of the chaos of the economy and "bad news" reported on the media can lead you to second guess or question your place or mission on earth.

I'm glad to report I have learned the formula to maintaining my happy place so I'm not moved to fear, worry, stress, or anxiety. And I would like to share with you what works for me. Maybe it can help you or maybe not.

I've been taught "love begats love" and "what you fear the most can come upon you". What I had to learn is what this means on a practical level. The 12 Universal Laws helped me understand what this means, however I'm just going to concentrate on 3 of the 12 Universal laws. We all have a part to play in bringing our planet to a  happier and safer place.

Quick review of the Law of Action, the Laws of Cause and Effect, and the Law of Attraction.

Without A Vision The People Perish.... War or Peace, Your Choice

I've heard this scripture quoted many times in church. The explanation given was "prophetic vision".... Well prophetic vision or just plain vision, what it states is still true: without a vision the people perish.  

Do you know what it means to not have a vision? To not know where you want to go in life or what the future holds? Can you imagine what it would be like to not be able to think past today? Or even dream or have aspirations?

Yet this happens to us when we allow others to dictate our dreams, give us fear of the unknown, or make us believe the future is hopeless. Without a vision of what makes our hearts happy, we literally set ourselves up to perish.  

Why do people commit suicide? They lost their vision, their hope, their reasons.  We need to have a vision or a thought of our future, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Heb 11:1. 

What is vision? " the act or power of anticipating that which will or many come to be". You don't have to be a prophet to have a vision.  This is part of our sovereign right...to dream dreams and see visions.  We've done this since our childhood, envisioned what our life would be like from day to day and when we were all grown up.  

Growing up I knew exactly what I wanted to be, I had a vision in my head.  I would be a teacher, I would marry for life, and have an even number of kids.  My life would be a happy one.  My husband would adore me and I would have enough money to live comfortably and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

GOT FREE WILL? Then why aren't you using it?

     I've often heard the question asked "Why does God allow bad things to happen to us? Or where was HE when this happened? Or if there is a God, why isn't HE saving us now?

     The answer is simple. HE created us with FREE WILL.  That means HE gives us choices and HE respects our choices. By respecting us HE complies with our decisions regardless of what it is.
   
FREE WILL is our SOVEREIGN RIGHT.

     The ones who have tampered with this are our fellow human beings. Our co-inhibitors of Mother Earth, have tried to Lord or rule over us in a superior fashion, however they could not do this unless we gave them the power.

     You may ask "what power is that"? Our FREE WILL.

     You may say, "I didn't and would never give anyone my freedom of thinking & doing for myself".

     Well, let me ask you this? The job/career you work today, are you there because it was always your desire to have that position? Was this what you dreamed you would be doing when you were younger? Or when you finished school, is this the job/career you envisioned? Or are you there because it helps you make your ends meet?

     Okay. So you may still say that you didn't give up your FREE WILL.  So, let me ask you this? When was the last time you went on a trip or vacation that was not based on the amount of money you have or saved up? And how about the food you eat everyday? Are you eating the foods you want to or what you can afford to eat? Are you choosing the same food you would if all the food in the world was free?

     The home you live in, is that what you always dreamed of? If money did not limit you would this still be the home of your choice? Or would you move somewhere else?

     If the answer to any of these questions is "I wouldn't change a thing" then I commend you, you have NOT given away your power.  However, if you have answered differently, then the time to take back your power is now.  Not tomorrow, not when things get better financially, or any other excuse you can make.  Start today. Start by writing down or remembering your dreams about life without restrictions, without the limits of money or anything in your life that stopped you from dreaming.  You know what or who they are.
