In reality, your life is not something you find - it's something you create. -David Phillips <br />
<br /><br />
Our destiny is determined by our values. What things or ideas do we give value? What things or ideas do we ignore? These values then occupy a place in our heart, then in our thoughts, then in our actions. Our actions then become our behavior.<br />
<br /><br />
Our behavior is a direct result our repeated thoughts toward what we value. Create the life you desire by focusing on the values that are consistent with that life. Any thoughts that don't support that life are illusions or fantasies.<br />
<br />
Being congruent means your thoughts, actions, and values are consistent. Where ever you are today, what ever you have in your life is a result of this congruency, and for better or worse, it is leading you toward your destiny.<br />
<br /><br />
You can change your destiny, or enhance your destiny, by focusing on the values that are consistent with the life you desire.<br />
<br /><br />
We don't need motivation to do the things we love.<br />
<br /><br />
Remember, motivation and inspiration are similar, but different. Motivation is a symptom. Many times it is needed because we are lacking the desire to do something. It may get us excited for the moment. It may even get a certain task or job completed. <br />
<br /><br />
But inspiration will ignite the passions within. And once ignited, the enthusiasm, the 'god-within,' will determine our values, thoughts, and actions.

<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Old Dog New Tricks<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Are
you an Old Dog?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are you a Young
Pup?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have you ever heard: You Can’t
Teach an old dog new tricks?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you
agree with this you are a dog, not human.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One of the blessings of being Human is our ability to make decisions. To
choose. To control. To adopt. In essence,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>to maintain control over our destiny.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We
have all met people in the 70’s and 80’ that are full of life, love, and
enthusiasm. They are controlling their destiny by living a life of
abundance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have also met people in
their 20’s that are glum, bummed, and down and out on life and themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have failed to learn to take control of
their life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have convinced
themselves someone else is controlling their life. The ‘Man’ or “the powers
that be’ or ‘my Parents’ are deciding for them what their life should be
like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So here we have a ‘young pup’ and
an ‘old dog’ that are both experiencing life. But the ‘old dog’ is enthused
about life when the ‘young pup’ is becoming bitter.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
good news is the young pup can change. This is because we have that ability to
make choices that affect our life and a dog doesn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, learning new tricks is a choice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And when we choose to not learn new tricks,
we are making a conscious decision to not grow. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not to advance. We are deciding to stay the
same. To remain in our current situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If we are not growing in our life we are dying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our lives become unfulfilled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We accept this plight. We become victims of
our own thoughts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you think you
can or can’t, you are correct.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tricks
may not the right word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tricks suggest
we are deceiving, or using Illusions or delusional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We know they are not real. We know they are
false.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We know they are delusional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">

might say: These are not tricks, these are techniques. OK, techniques.
Techniques are methods, systems, practices, procedures, ‘modus operandi’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are all done, or developed, to get some
kind of result.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the truth that will
set you free is that everything you do will get results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The question is: Are these the results you
seek?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If yes, the technics are working.
It is now a matter of expanding our thoughts in order to expand our life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, to learn ‘New Tricks.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">

to that, we may also get results that are inconsistent with our intended
desire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We get results that less than
expected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ‘trick’ ourselves into
believing this strategy will work, and delude (trick) ourselves into thinking
this is a good plan of action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
occasionally it does.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once in a while it
will really work out and we think we have hit ‘pay dirt’, the ‘Mother Load’,
‘Easy Street.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">

if you are blessed, and this activity is consistent with your passions and your
‘authentic you’ then maybe you have just swerved into your Bliss.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

then the question becomes: can the activity that lead to that success be
duplicated?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you do it again, and
again, and again? If the answer is ‘yes’, then by all means, Commit. Don’t
quit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take action and build traction.
Focus your energy. Harness that determination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Channel those thoughts. Less becomes more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

with likeminded people. Find them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
you will find is that they are busy. Busy following their Bliss. Busy helping
others. Others that are seeking their Bliss. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this is one of the Keys to a successful
life. Enlightened people that are engaged in pursuing being the best version of
themselves, recognized that there are other people that are also pursuing their
dreams with great passion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as this
passion and energy builds,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>more passion
and energy will develop among others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Bird of a feather…..’, you know the expression. You know the
answer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In your heart, you know the
truth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

means ‘god within.’ Be enthused about your life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’re not enthused about your life, then
who will be?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be enthused about
something! Helping others, making money, travel, writing, speaking, selling,
medicine, the arts, entertaining, it doesn’t matter, it is your choice. The
results are 100% yours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reason
people don’t execute plan ‘B’ is because plan ‘A’ never gets off the ground.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

enthused about your results.

to pursue the common good?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who decides
our passions? Who decides what is important to us? Who decides how we want to spend
and share our love, our interest, and our level of commitment to those passions?
And who decides the common good? Who decides how we should spend our time and
commitments? And who decides our level of commitment to the common good?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When people pursue their passions, are they
contributing to the common good? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And when
people pursue the common good, are they pursuing their passion?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The answer to both could be: Yes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But they are not interchangeable. In both
cases the individual has decided the meaning of their pursuit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that pursuit is not incumbent on another
person, or group, approval. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it is
only by our individual pursuits that we gain. Not for our ego, but for our
highest spiritual self. And when we do pursue our passions, we truly have the
power of God, and the universe supporting our efforts. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pursue your passions and encourage other to
pursue theirs and together, we all promote a better <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>life. Life is good. Enjoy your day in
paradise.<o:p></o:p></span>Chuck Locyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00492158369222027595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247491916080920337.post-36169059562660781832012-04-04T17:25:00.000-07:002012-04-04T17:25:31.532-07:00Occupy your Creativity<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Occupy your Creativity:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus said,”All that I have done, you can do, and more.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first gift we receive is the gift of life.

And others around us gain confidence as well. Our lifes don't drift when we are clear about our intentions. People know where they stand and why. And more important, we know where we stand and why. Good decisions come from Clarity. Be clear about your love of life. Be clear in your relationships with others. Love life to the fullest.

Do not chase things thinking they will make you happy. For what purpose? If happiness is the goal, go there first. Each of us is susceptible to having bad days. Or at least to have bad things happen at anytime. It is our reaction to these things that can determine our happiness. No one is exempt from things going wrong. Being disappointed, or being betrayed by friends and loved ones. These things happen. It is part of our humanity. We must learn to accept these things. Not that we should lower our personal standards. We must uphold our standards. In so doing, we will create more happiness. Learn to forgive and forgive often. Forgive others and do it often. Be genuine. Forgive and move on with your dreams. And forgive yourself. Don't beat yourself up. Learn from it. Forgive and move on with your dreams. Love life and life will love you.Chuck Locyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00492158369222027595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247491916080920337.post-10238265097946549482011-11-21T05:18:00.000-08:002011-11-21T05:22:29.761-08:00Occupy your WisdomOf all the change that is needed in the world, it is our personal change that is needed most. We must begin today to direct and focus our lives toward our passions, goals, and mission to help others. And the first and best way to help others is to make certain our life is in order. That our life is complete with love, respect, understanding, and honor. This is our wisdom. We do not hate or pity. We do not judge or condemn. We do not think as a victim. We focus on forgiveness. We focus on our passion. We focus on our mission. Our intentions become the focus of our attention. It is inevitable that what we think about, we become. Think about the life you desire with love in your heart and no one will care what you do. Do it today. Do it now. Do it from here to eternity.Chuck Locyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00492158369222027595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247491916080920337.post-51383495017314650512011-07-23T06:15:00.000-07:002011-07-23T06:15:01.827-07:00A discussion of the IT that controls our life.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I am</i> conflicted is a common feeling. And this feeling can cause stress or distress. Both are forms of fear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And if nothing else, IT will be contemplated as one begins to move from a place of fear to a place of faith.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><i>Understand: If boldness is not natural, neither is timidity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is an acquired habit, picked up out of a desire to avoid conflict.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If timidity has taken hold of you, then root it out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your fears or the consequences of a bold action are way out of proportion to reality, and in fact the consequences of timidity are worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your value is lowered and you create a self-fulfilling cycle of doubt and disaster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">People don’t like to hear that their life is what IT is because of how they think, behave, act, or react.

And that is, IT is us. We are IT. We are the ones that can accept all the blame and credit for their lives. And when we recognize that IT is our life, based on our decisions, and no one else’s, our life gets better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And IT gets better because we have now accepted responsibility for IT.</div>Chuck Locyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00492158369222027595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247491916080920337.post-35605226555849680912011-07-13T18:28:00.000-07:002011-07-13T18:28:31.765-07:00Chase your Passion like it is the Last Bus of the Night<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN;">(excerpts from the new book: "I am that...that is in the Well")</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><br />

It is not <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>going to be bought at Wal-Mart or Tiffeny’s. Radio Shack has some great ‘techie’ stuff but it is your desire that drives you to these stores for something. I buy ink for my writing. A means to an end. Clothing, jewelry, gadgets, ect.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN;">In order to discover our passions, we must pay attention to our activities.

In fact, these negative thoughts never seem to creep into our thinking. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN;">When we are experiencing our passion, our thoughts keep expanding and growing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have now entered the threshold of our passion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We must mark it down.

Put the note somewhere you can see and read it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And just like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chasing the last bus in the night</i>, when we are at the threshold of our passion, but must take that fateful <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>step into the destiny of our soul and never look back.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

When you conform you are adapting to someone else’s idea of how your life should be. Other forms of conform might include: kowtow, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>peer pressure, intimidation, oppression or ‘playing the game.’ You instinctively would not do it, but you are reacting and not creating.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">As a my friend, Ray Zwolinski,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>once stated, “The root word in Conform is ‘con.’ And ‘cons’ ain’t good.” And Ray, if nothing else, is a unique person that lives with passion.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Conform is a result of external influence. At times it is so subtle that we are unaware of what is happening, while it is happening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seeps into our Well of the subconscious. The next thing we know we are reciting tunes from 40 years ago. Letting our pants hang low. Getting tattoos, or body piercing. Golfing or fishing when we should be working. Avoiding the responsibility for the direction that our life is going. We cease being a dream maker and by default, become an excuse maker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or worse, we lower our dreams. We lower our standards to justify our life. And worse yet, we continue to love (justify) our thoughts (ruts) and blame others for our plight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

I studied books dealing with motivation, spiritual awareness, and interpersonal relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While my life was good I felt something dramatic was missing.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">This studying resulted in writing my first book: </span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">“What’s in the Well Comes Up in the Bucket:</span></i></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">How the quality your life depends on your thoughts and your reaction to the thoughts of others”</span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Hang with me; I am getting to the point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the book I talk about my estranged relationship with my Father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In short, I grew up afraid of him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without getting into details, he was physically and verbally abusive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While my parents got divorced when I was about 8, he had peed in my Well in a big way. My Mom remarried about 6 years later, and husband #2 was about the same as #1.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">As I began to study these materials, I was reading about 2 books per week, and I read over 700 books in about 5 years (I continue to read daily at about the same pace).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were a few key things I garnished from all this reading: Love and Fear are our two strongest emotions. And when we make decisions based on fear, someone else in controlling the outcome. This is an easy thing to recognize, but harder to live.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or as I like to say, “Change is easy, it is staying changed that is hard.” It is hard because we have created mental habits (surrounding our love or fear) and these habits control our thinking and behavior.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">When we sit in your living room, it is easy to say what we will do next time this or that happens. One other key thing that I leaned was the meaning of: forgiveness. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">The word ‘forgiveness’ came to me on about the 5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> time I meditated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was as clear a word as if someone in the room had spoken directly to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why did forgiveness come to me so crystal clear? At this point, I began to study forgiveness and learned the meaning and how important it is to forgive the most important person in my life. ME!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I came across a great quote by Ceanne DeRohan, “I forgive myself for having believed for so long that I was never good enough to have, get, or be what I wanted”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">I forgave myself, and then I forgave anyone that I felt had ever offended me. Again, easy to do from the safety of your living room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I began to pay attention to my self-talk and how fear was driving me, and others, to avoid certain situations or people. Especially authority figures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was literally retraining my brain to recognize fear in my behavior, and also to pay attention as to whether other people are coming at me from a point of fear.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">As I said last week, I attended a eulogy for a casual friend. The Pastor asked for comments and I froze. My fear was still controlling me. I later felt bad that I had not shown love and respect for this person. It didn’t have to be anything grandiose. Just something respectful. His children, parents, fiancé, were all there, and no one spoke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt bad. I literally had to forgive myself again, and I made a personal commitment that if that ever came up again, that I, at the very least would say something to honor the life of this person.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">My Dad abused others, and he abused himself. He over consumed alcohol and tobacco, and at a time late in his life when his body needed to be strong, it failed him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He lingered for six weeks in intensive care until his death.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">I drove about 800 miles to attend his services. I was going to show respect for a man for whom I spent most of my life living in fear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My impression of my Dad was that he was a bit of a scoundrel. But, I reconciled that he had given me at least one gift that I should truly appreciate: The gift of life. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">I entered the church. This was a ‘mega’ church in the south, and to my surprise, the place was packed. When they found out who I was, they hugged and consoled me for my loss. To me, my Dad represented a deeply flawed man that left some profound scars in my mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My thoughts were to be respectful to those that had gathered, but to me it was: Let’s get this over with.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">The pastor asked me to sit up front. Which I did. He talked about my Dad, and as he spoke I was thinking, “Are we talking about the same person?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few hymns were sung, and then the defining moment came. The moment when all my studies and meditations dealing with fear, love, and forgiveness, in an instant, came to a focal point. The Pastor said, “I would like his son to come up and say a few words”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">I remembered my promise to myself that I would never let a life go unappreciated. I took a deep breath. Rose and moved toward the Alter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I turned I saw the enormous gathering for the first time. I took a second deep breath. I told those gathered about the having been too afraid to speak at a prior service, and that I would never let another opportunity to pass without paying respect and honor to the deceased. And when I made that promise to myself, I had never expected to be asked to speak at my Dad’s funeral’ Much too my surprise and relief, there was small amount of laughter that circled the room.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">I continued to speak for a few minutes, and their love and appreciation for my Dad caused me to tear up. They knew the same man I had known, but I had not allowed myself to truly know him. I chose to live in the past, and not to truly forgive. That day, I was forgiven for my own fears and attitude about my Dad.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">I got through the day. I couldn’t believe it. It was as if God was holding me to my promise. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">They say when you give a speech, you actually give three speeches: The one you rehearse. The one you give. And the one you wish you had given when you think about the one you gave.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">One reason I was able to overcome the fear was because I was aware of the fear, and I had actually rehearsed my presentation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although I did not recognize it at the time, that when I had left my friends funeral, I had told myself so many times that I would at the very least show respect for their life. So much so, that it became part of my new habit of thought.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">About six months later, Flo died. She was 101. There were about 12 people at her graveside. The executor of the estate got up and read her last wishes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of those wishes was for Chuck Locy to say a few words. I began with what I had rehearsed, when someone dies, we should at the very least, show appreciating for their life. And off I went.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Lastly, 3 months ago, my only Aunt died. Once again, the Pastor simply made a general request for anyone to come up front pay respect. I waited. No one rose. Finally I did. I told the story again, and then talked about my Aunt. After my expression of love, others spoke. They felt safe, since I spoke.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Again, many people came up afterwards and said something like, “You always know the right thing to say.” The opposite of that is that people don’t speak in an impromptu manner because they are afraid they will say the wrong thing.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">This is another example of fear dominating over love. We become afraid of loss. Loss of dignity, respect, social status, etc. And this fear limits us. Even when we should show love. And the reason we limit ourselves is because we have learned to act in a certain way when it comes to speaking to strangers. WE learn this as children and it carries into adulthood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is that simple. What’s in our Well Comes up in our Bucket.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">When I asked, John, the first funeral where I froze, for his spiritual forgiveness, his humor came to me. He most likely would have said, “...since most people there don’t know you, you can say whatever you want and go home.” Showing respect and love is natural and easy to those who truly love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And when we learn to love, we learn to overcome our self- limiting fears.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Overcoming this type of fear requires that we have love for people and love for ourselves. It is then and only then, that our love will dominate our fear. And when we show love, it will give other the courage to show love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>Chuck Locyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00492158369222027595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247491916080920337.post-35300680334915173592011-05-26T10:27:00.000-07:002011-05-26T10:30:53.568-07:00Surfer Dude and SuccessI recently spent a week near Flagler Beach, Fla. Nestled about mid-way between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach. A remarkable seaside community untouched by High Raise Condos and apartments.<br />
<br />
My purpose was to visit family and give some Presentations for my book and some book signings. That leaves time for other things.<br />
<br />
There is a beautiful strip of land that lays between the intercoastal waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. The locals refer to this strip of land as: Flagler Beach. White sand, 200 yards wide at low tide and an ideal running surface. Others found it perfect for tanning, surf fishing, building sand castles, riding bikes, and a whole host of other wholesome and worthy activities.<br />
<br />
On this given day, as I ran a stretch near Maggies European Cafe (a must on your travel log) I couldn't help but notice a group of ardent surfers. As I jogged, they repeatedly climbed upon their board. Rode the wave. Then fell into the foamy sea. I must have witnessed this group go through the same exercise a hundred times. Their routine was to: paddle, climb, stand, ride, fall, repeat.<br />
<br />
At first glance we might say,".. why bother." But to the surfer, this is part of the key to success. And to a larger extent, the key to success in life. Set a goal or exstablish desired results. Work toward those results. Adjust and readjust as necessary. Fall or fail from time to time. Climb back up and repeat the process after making those necessary adjustments. And eventully, you ride the wave of success and make it look easy! Enjoy the ride. Enjoy your day in Paradise.Chuck Locyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00492158369222027595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247491916080920337.post-35940229996754403972010-12-13T17:57:00.000-08:002010-12-13T17:57:03.813-08:00Intention vs ConvictionIt is not the power of intention but the power of conviction toward that intention that matters. We all have convictions about something. And it is this something that determines what we get out of life.<br />
<br />
Most of us dilute our talents. We waterdown our desires. We go along to get along. We compromise our dreams so much we forget what we wanted. <br />
<br />
If we are lucky, we will one day wake up and realize that other people have realized their dreams, why not me? We are now at the threshold of our bliss. We realize we must do that something that we have frittered away. We realize we must surrender to our dreams, and pursure them with the utmost conviction. <br />
<br />
As Ben Franklin said, "it is our duty to pursue our dreams. Anything short is immoral."<br />
<br />
Our habits have lead us here. Right now, reading these words. Give thanks that you are here. Where you are in 5 days, 5 months, or 5 years will depend on what you do this very moment. How you change your life,your thoughts, your convictions, your habits. Change is easy. It is staying changed that can be hard. Hold on to that thought. That emotion of your desire as long as you can. Fall in love with your life. Your dreams, your future, your destiny. We are the only ones that can live our lifes. Enjoy it. Love it. Life it.Chuck Locyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00492158369222027595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247491916080920337.post-92186270793257120482010-12-01T05:08:00.000-08:002010-12-01T14:01:10.612-08:00Placebo vs Nocebo: It is all about ChoicesBen Franklin once wrote: " There are only two things that are certain in life: Death and Taxes"<br />
<br />
While Mr. Franklin is clearly a hero of mine, I would disagree with this 'tounge n cheek' quip. I would amend this by saying, " There are only two that are certain in life: We must Die, and We must live until we die"<br />
<br />
We have no choice as to when we are born. And most likely we have no choice as to when we will die. Everything in the middle is a choice. A choice of thought and the action that the thought produces and our reactions to the thoughts and actions of others. <br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message">While most of us may know about the 'Placebo Effect' and how it can alter a persons perception in a positive way, there is an evil twin known as the 'Nocebo effect'. The Nocebo Effect is a negative perception about events or situations. It is a pronounced or profound thought toward doom and gloom. And our thoughts cre<span class="text_exposed_show">ate habits which will eventually manifest in our lives. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message"><span class="text_exposed_show">There will always be challenges and struggle in our life's. This will occur to everyone, all the time. There is no exception. What we must understand is the difference between struggle and suffering. Suffering is our struggle internalized. We internalize this by saying things like: This crap always happens to me. Oh, darn, I did it again. Or, I can't seem to get ahead. Or, when will the other shoe drop. The list goes on and on and on.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message"><span class="text_exposed_show">And this 'nocebo effect' is our own thoughts, that little voice in our head, which speaks to us constantly about ourselves. We can not stop that voice, we can only control it. And we control it by understanding that this voice is constantly reaffirming something. Something good, virtuous, noble, and uplifting. Or something bad, degrading, ignoble, or self defeating.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message"><span class="text_exposed_show">Recognize this process for what it is. When those 'nocebo' thoughts creep in, and they will, stop them immediately. Recognize them as false. While we may not know where they come from, it doesn't matter. Somewhere, somehow, they came and we have them now. This happens to everone. And it how we internal these 'nocebo' thoughts that effect the quality of our lives and relationships.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message"><span class="text_exposed_show">Immediately shift your awareness to your better self. Forgive yourself immediately for ever having thought these thoughts. You are not a bad person. Just a person with these thoughts. Forgive yourself for ever having thought you couldn't be, do, or have anything in life. Know that you are loved by many and sincerely appreciated for your inner beauty.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message"><span class="text_exposed_show">It is estimated that we think about 95% of the thoughts today, were the same or similar to the thoughts we had yesterday. Hang on to that 5% of new thought and carry it over to tomorrow. Over 20 days, your thought will be 100% new. </span></span><br />
<br />
Change is easy. Mark Twain once said that quiting smoking was easy, he did it 3 times a day! It is the staying changed that becomes the challenge. <br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message"><span class="text_exposed_show">This change of thought takes time. As you change our thoughts your life will change. Slowly at first. As you hold onto these new thoughts, your actions and life will slowly change tin the direction of those thoughts.</span></span><br />
<br />
If you regress, or fall. Don't worry. Regain your high ground. Regain your focus. Get back on the bike. We all fall from time to time. It is getting back on track that is key.<br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message"><span class="text_exposed_show">No one is alone on this journey. Be patient and loving with yourself. Be patient and loving with others.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message"><span class="text_exposed_show">Enjoy your day in Paradise.</span></span>Chuck Locyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00492158369222027595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247491916080920337.post-45377563669688472032010-09-22T18:07:00.001-07:002010-09-22T18:09:03.816-07:00Testimonials for What's In The Well Comes Up In The Bucket<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
