I learned this the other day and it has been AMAZING! I used to talk about how I thought things were in reality. I don’t have this…I don’t have that….I wish this…I wish that….I should have done this….I should have….If only I had…
Then I learned “ONLY TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT!” And my life has changed. I now talk about what I want. I know it sounds really simple and at first I noticed I kept slipping back and talking about my past, or what I didn’t have….the great thing however, is that now I noticed when I am slipping back into the old habit and I stop myself.
Here’s what happens when I “Only talk about what I want.” I am creating an energy, a vibration if you will, about what I want. And it draws it towards me. Not only that, it makes me feel happy, like what I want is possible. It gives me a passion for the things I want. So for example, I will say, “Today I want to have a great radio show and have lots of fun doing it.” Then Jeff and I have a little talk about what we are going to say and do in the show. Then I will say, “And today I want to complete….” And I list off the project I want to complete for the day.
It’s amazing how it works. Try if for today. Only talk about what you want. Notice what happens to you. Notice what happens to the people around you. Let what you want become alive for you. Create passion for the things you want. Accept that you are already getting and living the life that you want. And when something comes up that you don’t want…just let it go. Don’t pay it any attention. Rock N Roll

I was talking with my 79 year old step mom this morning. She lives in Wales in the UK and we regularly talk over the phone. What I love about her is her youthful outlook on life. She’s amazing. Walks every day, loves her garden, eats to keep her body healthy, does yoga…and yes, okay maybe she has to time to do those things now that she is retired. Except she’s always been that way, even when she was working as a teacher.
So this morning she said, “If I don’t do my half-hour yoga, in the morning I don’t feel good, and life is about feeling good.” I agreed with her and then she told me what I consider to be the secret of a long and healthy life, “It takes work but it’s worth it–the consequence of not the right things are not worth it.”
So that’s really it isn’t it? Knowing what works and working towards making those things a habit. I love that every day when I wake up I have a choice, what do i want to do today that is going to make my life better. Then choose the things that make us feel good rather than the things that will ultimately make us feel bad. Sounds simple. It is and that’s the thing that is so easy to forget.
It’s not the struggle of life that makes us happy, it’s doing the right things at the right time. Rock N Roll Val

It’s been a while since we posted a blog. And there are no excuses. Everything we do is a choice. Write a blog, don’t write a blog. Get angry, don’t get angry. Be worried, don’t be worried. It is very empowering once I understand it and accept IT’S ALL UP TO ME!
I think I should have it tattoed on my hand. IT’S ALL UP TO ME–AND IT’S ALL MY CHOICE! Because it’s so easy to blame other people. blame the situation, blame the event, blame the past. In fact, there are so many things to blame it’s as easy as blinking an eye.
So, stop the blame. Don’t blame yourself. Don’t blame other people. Just accept responsibility for makiing the choice and you will see that everything becomes amazing. Once you take power into your own hands for making the choice, you become powerful and amazing things happen. It’s true. And…what’s even more empowering…
….all we have is choice! Rock N Roll Val
