It speaks for itself

" Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you've got a pretty neck."

- Eli Wallach

The quote says not to expect praise from a critic or when a critic praises you do not expect them to not stab you in the back. Having the hangman say that you have a pretty neck has no value because he is still going to hang you. Critics have no value because they are not on your side or trust worthy. This is a big quote. It has a few meanings.

My Personal Quote

Swan's Aflot photo

People are not stupid. Not at all.
But when we are emotional and emotionally reactive, we tend to fight against common sense and reality because of the need to be right or question the heck out of reality which makes us make not so smart choices.


I say this because , I know I am guilty of it so many times.Then I regret why and how in the hell i acted that way and say crazy things especially when emotions are bottling up inside.

I therefore realized that EMOTIONS ARE LIARS , besides.
They make our thoughts swim in their soupy chowder.

Emotions are NOT messages .
Their just the excess poop of what your inner balance decided it couldn't quite use.

So...when you need to "dump" them explosively like you're a volcano or something, they are received about as joyously as visitor's diarrhea.

Sorry...I digress. I wrote too much, I think.

Let me wrap it up by saying the most important part: The Strategy.


Love and Peace ,

The truth especially in relationships

Caucasian couple dancing under gazebo at the beach. photo



Everything that irritates us about others

can lead us to an understanding about

Ourselves



The greatest gift that we can give ourselves is seeing that when we are irritated by someone that it is about ourselves. We are all mirrors for each other.
Usually the irritation that we see in others is because we want to keep our stuff buried. That mirror maybe painful. The lesson follows forever until it is addressed. No you can not find somebody else that is easier who will love your pain away. You must deal and feel so that you can heal.

Every person that we fall for has a common trait and that is what we need to work on within ourselves. WHAT WE SEE IN OTHERS IS WHAT EXIST IN US!
The only way to have a real loving and close relationship is to acknowledge this fact.

Changing ourselves will improve who we attract into our lives.


Love and Peace,
Ann

JUST WHAT I NEED TO UNDERSTAND MORE TODAY

The definition for Denial is . . .

Denial is the refusal to acknowledge the existence or severity of unpleasant external realities or internal thoughts and feelings.

Basic survival instincts and what Freud believed to be the two dominant human drives: sex and aggression. He called his the "Id"

So if the Id was all we had . . . we would continue to strive to increase pleasure, decrease pain and achieve immediate gratification.

According to Freud there are three parts to us . . .

1. Id - Pleasure
2. Ego - Reality
3. Super Ego - Morality

The Ego sits between the Id and the Super Ego . . . it has a constant battle between pleasure seeking and the morality of getting that please.

For Example . . . There is this really cute person. They are showering you with attention. There is a spark . . . But they are married!

So the Ego bounces back and forth between Id and Super Ego. It bounces and bounces. The relationship gets more pleasurable, more fun . . . but that Super Ego also starts getting activated too! So the poor little ego starts getting stressed out. This causes ANXIETY.

The Ego tries to balance these two . . . and as the anxiety raises . . . it has a whole bag of defense mechanisms. As the ego uses blaming others, or explaining away the problem . . . it also uses a VERY effective tool called DENIAL! THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!!!

LOL!

Denial can become acute to the point of needing a therapist.

Death of a relationship is great breeding ground for denial. The Id wants to continue having pleasure, the Super Ego is say, "NO go . . . Let GO, it is OVER".

So the Anxiety raises, the EGO pulled DENIAL out of the bag of defense mechanisms . . . and we have a person who cannot let go.

Severe cases will develop stalking, mental illness, depression . . . Long, on going denial with develop personality disorders.

Personality Disorder - Long-standing, deeply ingrained patterns of social behavior that are detrimental to those who display them or to others.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !!!!

we have often heard that no one person raises a child. It takes a village to raise a child. We may think of our family in "traditional" ways, but often extended families, sometimes not even related can help us in unimaginable ways to help grow, teach and love our family. Fathers are important in whoever is playing that role. Families come in all shapes, forms, and people. There are times when we either don't get along with our biological family, or are not near them so we develop a church family, or a spiritual family, even a neighborhood of friends. Fathers come in all shapes and ways too. Just a loving supportive emotional bond will give us the closeness that we all need. Fathers and families comfort us. We feel safe. We feel protected. Take a moment to give honor to whoever is the "father" in our lives.

A Hard Fact!!!

HONESTY

Our lives improve only when we take chances -



and the first and most difficult risk



we can take is to be honest with ourselves.



This is Very True Indeed. If you are NOT Honest with yourself - then don't expect things to happen as what you wanted them to be. You'll just find yourself being stuck in the same place over and over.

Quote of the day

“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them,

more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by

thought-out principles rather than blind reflex.

Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.”

Life's Game

Victorious woman standing at New Zealand Lake, Queenstown photo

The Winners in Life’s game are not those who have never tasted of Failure.


But rather those who have Failed again and again… the One Who NEVER Gave Up.



Winners benefit from each failure and see it as a step to Victory.



Alot of my friends and People I just met will tell me that I am a Very Strong Woman .
and YES , I AM !!!

I do believed I AM A WINNER and will continue to be One!!! I have Tried and Gone through Difficult Battles in Life that very few could possibly able to conquered. I have been wounded , scarred , beaten and abused.

I have failed so many times but that never stop me from Trying and Living.
Instead I get up each time with Honor and Dignity and so Proud to tell myself that I am still here undefeated.
Every Failure I've experienced brought so much Pains but that just made me even Stronger and be a Better Person I AM Today.

It is MY TURN and VICTORY will always be MINE!!!

Love and Light,
Ann

On this day, God wants you to know...
... that God sees you as you truly are, - a holy child of light: I see you strong and whole. I see you blessed and prospered. I see you courageous and confident. I see you capable and successful. I see you free from all limitations or bondage of any kind. I see you as the spiritually perfect being you truly are.

She Further enlightens......

Dark Silhouette of a couple kissing at sunset. Vertically framed photograph. photo



"Soulmates keep encountering one another until whatever it is they need to teach one another has been successfully achieved,"

"Teaching and learning are the keys to unlocking the mystery of what that soul connection is. When soulmates find one another they carry the baggage of whatever un-learned lessons are left from their past lives. The 'final' encounter with one of your soulmates is the sweetest. This is when you can stop the 'school room banter' and finally relax with unconditional love for one another. This is why the most important lessons that we need to learn or teach through our soulmates are often the thing that hurt or frustrate us the most. Whatever may be causing conflict in the current relationship is usually directly connected to what it is you need to learn from one another. What connecting with our soulmates has to teach us on the deepest level is that we all deserve to be loved and deserve to be allowed to experience the joy of loving without fear and frustration."



Thanks!

Life is too short- so get out of your comfort zone!

If you are no longer happy where you at and in whatever that you do then make the CHANGES.
Have an Sincere agreement with GOD and He will open doors for you. Once you make those changes,You'll have the LIFE GOD has always intended for YOU to have.
Do not narrow your dreams.

Remember...GOD WILL REWARD US IF WE STAYS IN FAITH.
It's not too late to get started and I will very soon , It feels Good to finally able to slowly release from material things and the Past that only holds Negativity in ourlives.

I CHOOSE LIVING A SIMPLE HAPPY LIFE WITH MY FAMILY in CALIFORNIA soon .
Please Pray for me and My Family.
Thank you All.

AWESOME BLOG I WANT TO SHARE - A MUST READ!!!

Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
It stinks doesn't it. It is hard to believe that a year or longer has gone by and the situation is the same. Nothing is better. Even with all of the readings and the hope that change will occur, still nothing. Unfortunately, you are in a karmic situation that has a lesson attached to it. Joy! Right? You were looking for love and found it and all of a sudden it gets messy and emotional and you are hoping that love will fix the mess and save the relationship but it does not. Fear unfortunately is the monster that controls us. It controls the person in question by making them run or take on an affair. Fear controls you because you are scared to up the demands because you are afraid of losing the relationship. The bad part is that there is no relationship if the person is running. Only in name or on paper. Both of you are afraid. Therefore the universe has nothing to work with. No one is making a move because of fear and the false hope that love will conquer it all. If a person has deep wounds, them loving you will not make them come back and fix things without a push. You feel like if they love you they should fix it but you loving them is understanding that they have pain too and they do not know how to fix it.

Your fear is upsetting you and making you hope that you do not have to make a big move that is risky. so you call for a reading just hoping that something will give on its own. It has been over a year and it has not changed because you are unfortunately in a situation that you have to push things along.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ADDRESSING THE ISSUE......
It is hard but you are doing it. Stick with it and meet your partner halfway. Never expect them to get it from your eyes. That is not possible just like you can not get it from their eyes.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID.....
Unfortunately, you have put yourself in a stuck position. Unstick yourself by risking it. You doing nothing yields nothing.

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
Dear mslewers,
I do not know if this is a good or bad or an eye opening wow. I hope it is a good wow. I had a little bit of free time and I knew that this was the issue of the week so I needed to blog on it. We have all been there waiting and waiting and hoping that someone will turn things around. we get sad and frustrated but fear is under it all. The universe is waiting on us to help things along which can be stressful. We have no choice until we take a risk can things get better. I hope this comment helps. thank you for your comment.

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
For everyone when we sit around hoping for the other party to change, we are actually arguing with reality. Accept reality and know that you are powerful enough to change things.

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
Ah yes, Donna. This is indeed the issue of the week... more like the issue of the past two months, for me! lol When I do something, I can see my own power in it... even when it's scary. Once the fear clears out of the way, after I've done something, it's amazing what I can see from my efforts. It's funny. I can feel the power of my actions, and as soon as fear steps in, everything gets really cloudy and I start to make negative decisions.

Combat the fear so that you can always see clear!

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
Dear Tiddly,
that is so awesome and so well put. Getting rid of our fears does allow us to see more clearly. It opens up doors and gets us closer to what we want. I guess for some part of the fear is not knowing if they deserve to have what they want. It is personal power for sure.

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
Definitely a great wow. For this situation, it's not quite a year yet but it's certainly at a stand still. I knew there was fear on his part due to wounds from his past. But after reading this I'm having to admit my fear as well. It's like you've read me without me even calling you. I'm being understanding and honestly trying to meet him halfway but daily I search the blogs and periodically call for a clue to a solution to move it along with no success yet.

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
Dear mslewers,
I am so happy that this blog helped you. I know it is a touchy subject. It was just the big theme of the week so I had to write about it.
fear is such a strong emotion. It holds us back even when we do not know that we are afraid. It is so hard and confusing because society teaches us that love moves mountains and that people will fight for love. Fear can get in the way. You are going to win the battle because you know your fear and his. Now you can plan how to approach things in a way that helps you more. Thank you again for liking this blog.

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
That's the real part I struggle with, Donna... feeling like I don't deserve what I want. And so I fear asking for what I want because I'm afraid I'll find out that it's true, that I really DON'T deserve it. And then I feel paralyzed.
Friday, June 04, 2010 6:03 AM by justaskdrdonna
# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
Dear Tiddly,
so many people think the same way. Thank you for your honesty. We have to believe that we deserve something for it to come to us. We have to feel worthy of it. Nothing can come to u unless we are attracting it.
The fear does paralyze people. The situation repeats over and over until a breakthrough happens. The universe does not let us escape.

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
NOTE:
Our own fear is what holds us back, prevents the prediction and gets in out way of having what we want. fear is that powerful. we are that powerful. if something is not happening, a person has to look at how they are stopping it.

When we are afraid to learn the truth and we do not speak out, we get nothing because we are not allowing anything to happen and we are stuck. We get mad at the other person but they are not doing anything wrong. we are the cause of something not happening.
Friday, June 04, 2010 8:54 AM by justaskdrdonna
# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
unfortunately, if we are in a bad situation, we have attracted it because we can only attract what we believe we deserve deep down inside ourselves. everyone has to explore their beliefs and see what they really believe deep down inside. this is why forgiveness and facing deep pain is important. if we are always fearing being hurt or rejection, abandonement,etc we will keep attracting the situation/lesson until we deal with it.

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
It's been an emotional night alone with my thoughts and the truth from this blog. I have made a decision to "unstick" myself from this situation and take a risk first thing in the morning. I believe I deserve more and need to show that. I am choosing to accept whatever outcome it brings knowing that I'm conquering my fear instead of letting it conquer me. Thank you so much. Please continue blogging.
Friday, June 04, 2010 9:30 PM by justaskdrdonna
# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
Dear mslewers,
I am sorry that it is emotional but i am glad that this blog helped you to see the situation. The tough part is that whenever we are in a situation, we can not see how it is affecting us. That is how people get stuck in the same situation for so long. We have all been there and then one day we find out that we can unstick ourselves.
CONGRATS TO YOU! for taking this step. it will help the both of you and it does not make the relationship over with.There may be a time out so that boundaries can be established and the truth is allowed to reveal itself. the best part is that you now have been reminded that you are amazing and powerful. You deserve the best. I am cheering you on.

# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
I am no longer stuck.

Cause and effect. It's what I've been talking about for weeks. Cause and effect works in the positive the same way it works in the negative. In my attempts to get someone else to see this, I discovered that I, too, needed to see it and work with it.

The fine mix of saying AND showing, is what creates change. Positive or negative. It's up to each of us.

When I change the way I do things, I change things around me. Positive or negative.

I choose positive!
Saturday, June 05, 2010 7:17 AM by justaskdrdonna
# re: Are you in the same situation today that you were a year ago?
Dear Tiddly,
thank you again. it is so true that cause and effect is working and we have to decide which way we want it to work for us. you now have what you need to get what you want.it is true that we control our environment and how we respond to things. No one can make us feel anything. we choose our feelings. Usually those feelings were there years before and never got dealt with. Your comments will help others to see that happiness is a choice and we have to choose it because it just does not fall on our laps. No one can make us happy. It is within all the time.

The 1st of June

To get something you never had, You have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to recieve something better. Remember this line, The WILL of GOD will never take you where the GRACE of GOD will not protect you. Something Good will happen to you today,something that you've been waiting for.


I love this note that a friend send me the other day i kept reading it over and over. It is actually how i am , When i want something I don't sit and think of it for too long - Life is too short to be wasting analyzing things. I pray first and go for it and do it. Then, most of the time ,I did the right decision. There are times that i don't, but i don't regret it - Its a lessons in my Life i need to Learn. I am about to make a biggest decisions in my Life that i should have done long time ago. This time , i won't waste any more time. I know God will guide and my Children to it.

Please Pray for me and my kids.



GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Love,
Ann
