Excellence and the audience

Take a handful of people who witness an outstanding performance that stopped them in their tracks and, if they are being honest, you'll get very different responses. Excellence brings reactions of varying kinds!

I'd like to take you down the path of the performer for a bit. For instance, there is a reason why a skilled Musician will practice the same passage hundreds, possibly thousands of times until it becomes a part of them.   A truly skilled musician has done this and so the results that you hear are after more practice than the average soul would ever entertain... they would rather listen than go through the hoops.  People nearby often think them a bit off, because they repeat the same thing over and over and over and it drives them up a wall, so to speak.  As a result of the skill that they have acquired through the learning process of practice, practice, practice, they have freed themselves from the need to think about what they do at all.  They live the moments in true bliss, thoroughly enjoying their craft and the audience senses the bliss of the Musician as well as through their auditory senses.  

The same basic process actually applies to almost anything most people do.  From Arithmetic to Crocheting, Martial Arts to Skiing and more, the amount of time and energy put in will give a different result when compared to most others.

Everything worth doing usually takes practice to excel. Some of us need more practice than others.  Some of us need little in some areas, more in others. We truly beat to our own drums in more than a few ways.  Our DNA, our physical history and circumstances and yes, our past lives, all contribute to what seems to be our ease of learning one thing and our disdain in attempting to learn something else.  In short, we have our "easy" things and we have our well, not so easy things.

Now if you'll recall at the beginning I referred to a handful of people giving their opinions of someone that they witnessed perform, in whatever field you choose.  There are those that want to label it; those that want to explain it; those that describe the way they felt when witnessing it, a bit like the analytical folks following a political speech.

Once in a while... there is someone who has nothing to say at all, not because they are uncomfortable with it, nor is it usually because they do not wish to participate in the conversation.    Indeed, to the contrary... they are participating, just in a very different way than many of you.  They have taken the moments and are still feeling them, but on a higher level.  They have become inspired to take their own path to a higher level, or perhaps they are enjoying the moments of listening to the chatter whilst being a receiver and considering each of the others thoughts.

It's not always that different with Spirituality.  We can clamor as we feel our way is superior, because it works for us.  We can analyze and we feel stronger when we understand the methods and the reasoning behind the choice.  We can want to share our feelings about it with others in a pleasant and uplifting way as we feel a natural high from our path.  Then... there are those... that are the quiet ones.  Perhaps they are doing practice of their own, while we are sharing... or perhaps they are in their own quiet way, participating.  

In Spirituality there is no voice required, it is your spirituality that matters to you and no other being on this planet will express their version as you will.  Their relationship with their creator or higher self or deity will be different, just as a musicians interpretation of a musical piece can be heard and yes, felt, by those on the receiving end.  The spiritual tune is a common thread, as the true self of your soul intertwines with each other soul and we are one, yet, in this realm, we are here to experience our own version, as individuals.  

It's easy to label what we don't understand... and not everyone feels the need to explain why they are not explaining.  Each one, adds to the whole of all that is, and no "one" has the answer for another, including yours truly.  I can only find my way and offer a bit of my own version for the path that my spirit has taken me on.  It is my sincere wish that each one of you finds your true bliss in your own spiritual path... as for me... I continue to practice...

Blessings!

Brand New Me!

On January 1st so many of us start out with a resolution or three.  We're going to change, improve ourselves, let go of something unwanted or start something new.  Then life happens, and somehow we're back on the same path we were.  At least for some of us.

Sometimes it just takes a new outlook on our inner selves.  We can find the tools, the charts, the means, yet changing ourselves truly starts on the inside.  The world will give you  the "Stuff" if you look hard enough.  Things you can use with your 5 senses? No worries, just look harder and it's out there.  So there you go, the treadmill, the music, the writing pad, easel, camera or training program.... it's there somewhere just for you!

The things though that in the end mean the most, are the small steps that are usually something rather simple.  It's something that you know you should do, you feel pulled in that direction and after doing all of your homework you know it's in alignment with what you are here for.  You've done the brain work and the body participation is willing to go for it.  So here is where we usually set ourselves up.  We say to ourselves we are going to do "x" on January 1st and start anew.  Then by mid-January we're wavering, we started out high, but the glue didn't stick somehow.

Which brings me to where I am today.  I've been called to do an online radio show, called by Spirit that is.  It's something my Guides and Angels feel rather strongly about me doing. Personally, it's nothing I ever thought of doing and still at this point from a purely physical life could do without.  I'm not the type of person that needs to be out there in front of people, I'm actually more of an introvert... yet we introverts are deep folks!  We're always pondering and working on a few things at once while doing the actual thing people see us doing.  Take that and add the Spiritual side of me that includes the Psychic-Medium and Lightworker and add a twist of severe life experience and well... it's complicated.

So I've meditated on this, severely.  Asked my Guides and Angels for direction.  The answer?  This blog entry is it!  You see, I know personally from a life experience viewpoint after decades of real life in the trenches, that I know a lot more about ways to live then I let on.  I'm also historically rather quiet about it, unless you're in my inner circle that is.  So the time has come to break out, to share what's at my core about whatever the other side has decided I need to share with you.  I'm taking this entirely on FAITH.  I'm putting my money where my mouth is, as they say and baring my soul for the sake of the cause.

You may or may not be interested in my view-points, however it seems, the other side knows best (and I fully admit, they do), there is a reason for what we don't want to do but should do.  There is a reason you are called to start a new career half-way through your life.  There is a reason you have to keep getting up and moving forward when all you want to do is kick back and let someone else take the wheel.  Some of it is obvious to you and probably to most people that know you a bit.  Still, it's not easy to take most of what you have created yourself to be and suddenly say to the world, wait... you haven't seen me at all, that was just the window dressing!

I have a very dear friend who has known me for over 30 years that gets me in ways most people never could.  Way, way back, (before dinosaurs roamed the earth?), she knew there was a side of me that was a "Wild Child".  Not in the way that you might think.  I don't have a tattoo (not that there's anything wrong with them, it's just not my style right now); I like Nature, Animals, Music, my Spiritual Self and quiet are amongst my needs in life to survive.  There is though, in each of us, someone that yearns to get out.  We've all seen the weight loss commercials or the training videos along this line.  But.....

It takes guts to leave the ruts, as Dr. Schuller said probably 20 years ago.  He was so right when he said you've got to have a dream so large that God can fit in!  When you have a dream that is "manageable" that you are "comfortable" with and are "sure" you can control, it's not a dream.... it's a GOAL.  I'm not going to debate goals with you, I'll leave that to the experts.  My field is...

Spirited Daydreams... and I'm here to tell you that you have to put your spirited side into your daydreams... and that my friend, it the crux of my first show.  I was going to do a "test" show, but it seems the other side is just as happy with me just putting it out there and if it's a little off, the sound isn't right, or my voice shakes... it's still going to reach the folks that need to hear it.  

As with most things, when we are brave enough to have a huge dream, like helping to change our little corner of the world in the best way we know... we have to just do something little here and there and the rest will come....

Watch out for the announcements on my Twitter and Facebook pages and here on my Blog/Site, the date's going to be picked (yes... by Spirit... I've learned not to do much without their help) very soon!

Blessings in Spirit...
