What do you do when people near you let you down?

When someone starts a project with you and you invest time, knowledge and energy and they take it elsewhere? You call them …they don’t pick up the phone, yet – when they needed you you were there; giving your time, your energy and your resources.

I had one of those days. I look back at my day and sit here evaluating the situation. Just feels normal at first to think its me…and then, I stop and rethink the whole formula and turn it around and ask myself… if I turn the table around and put myself in their shoes would I do the same? No. I would not. I’m a fighter, and I will see a project til the end and take my team to the winners circle!

My conclusion is… don’t take anything personal…continue to be the solid person you are, and use the experience to learn about other peoples character and weaknesses. Don’t be less of the great person you are. Allow each relationship, no matter how brief or long people come to play a role in your life to serve in your growth. Walk away with the lesson and continue to grow.

Interesting read today on Yahoo! front page:

Tokyo apartment dwellers are baffled by the 1.8 million yen they found in the mail. Police have no idea who’s behind the cash give away and people were too upright to pocket the money.

Many people get a bit skirmish when it comes to topic about money. It’s even been said that money is rated up there with oxygen, it may not be the want of it but you sure need it to pay for the things you want.

Daisy Says: A person with a dollar and a vision can do more than one with millions and a closed mind.

If money was left anonymously in your mail box, would you:
1. Keep the money and run!
2. Keep some of the money and return the rest.
3. Return every bit of it… if I didn’t earn it don’t want it.
4. What money?

Believe you have it.

Everything is right here, all that ever was or ever could be, simply waiting to be brought forth into manifestation.

Would you give a child a million dollars to go buy candy and ice cream for himself? We must evolve with our possessions until we get the ability to handle them. Be patient with yourself, see yourself in the space of where you want to be, feel that energy… become one with your intent. Let go and believe.

If you are experiencing conflict it may just be a sign that you are not ready — yet. In nothing be anxious.

Daisy Says: Realization is the first step to manifestation.

This morning I was out washing my car in front of my drive way. The sun was just beginning to come over the roof tops, the birds were chirping and everything felt fresh. About half-way through I began hearing car engines start in the neighborhood, a few of my neighbors stopped and said ‘good morning’ on their way out – we made some small talk.

I went back to finishing my task…when out of no where I heard the anguish cries of a little boy:
MOM!! THERE IS A BUG IN THE HOUSE!!! — MOM!! THERE IS A BUG IN THE HOUSE!! — THERE IS A BUG IN THE HOUSE!!!!

I stopped to observe this: from my view point I saw a little boy standing in front of his home, door wide open. The mother was in the car, engine running ready to drive out and by my observation, she was waiting for her son to close the door and enter the car. Little boy screaming and frustrated …would not drop his plea of alarm. He stood there with his fresh white polo shirt, blue shorts, white socks pulled up nice and even….waving his little red lunch box screaming with passion and frustration: MOM!! THERE IS A BUG IN THE HOUSE!!

At this point George, (my husband had walked out to join me in the car cleaning)…and I looked at him and said, “See? There is a real concern there.” My interest was peaked because I wanted to see what was going to happen next. Well, there was stern yelling by the parent requesting the child to close the door and get in the car…which was exactly what took place.

As I observed the car drive away, I thought of the child’s dilemma and how at one time my little boy had a similar fear…and how my reaction was different. I recall how with my situation I had taken the time to embrace my son’s concern, I would stand with him ( sometimes it would be like sit down on the ground for what felt like hours…) and observe the little critter going about its own little business, and if it would be found in the home I would grab a sheet of paper and work the bug on the paper and walk it outdoors…. watching the tension erase from my sons face was priceless and more so… with patience watching him slowly realize that there is nothing to fear but the fear of being afraid.

Honoring those we love is so important, especially those little ones in our lives.

There is a valid concern in a little persons life…imagine? That little boy will be tormented all day while at his summer camp thinking there is a bug in his house. He may be thinking how the bug may end up in his room…on his bed. That little bug invader might pillage through their food cabinet and create mayhem and destruction! Perhaps, the little boy was in protection mode. All that little boy wanted to do was save the home from an intrusive invader!

Or perhaps, he was genuinely afraid.

What fears silly as they may have been did you overcome?

Daisy Says: When we face our fears, we grow.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle awakens. He has only one thought on his mind: To be able to run faster than the fastest lion. If he cannot, then he will be eaten.

Every morning in Africa a lion awakens. He has only one thought on his mind: To be able to run faster than the slowest gazelle. If he cannot, he will die of hunger.

Whether you choose to be a gazelle or a lion is of no consequence. It is enough to know that with the rising of the sun, you must run. And you must run faster than you did yesterday or you will die.

This is the race of life. – African Proverb
