KINDNESS TO ME…………..

Image of kindness weekly challenge

Kindness  to me, well after the week I have had, I finally understand the meaning of kindness to me, I hope and maybe I am wrong regarding this but I feel that the last person I have been kind to is myself. It hurts a Little to realise this fact, but it could be true !

But I am going to change that as from right now, I am a kind person, and I know that, but because of this I have forgotten about myself and have and am paying a high Price for it, if I can cover myself with the kindness that I show to others, I would have 100% kindness to me.

I started this morning being kind to myself, every step and thought I have thought of kindness towards myself, I like the feeling I have achieved, and I am happy to continue with this routine, which eventually will be an automatic thing to do, who would want to be unkind to themselves ? If I have had done this until now, which I am certain I have, it was something totally undetected until the question of the week was there in my face……… I could go more into depth regarding this, but feel it will be covered in the weekly challenges to come, so I will hold it here …….And admit I have not been kind to myself………….but this can be changed. I have a right to this kindness from myself, I also feel that this new found kindness will bring me another kind of  happiness that I have yet to experience within myself.

Hello ………………….everyone!

       This is a big HELLO from me, I am so sorry for this week, my little box had to go to the emergency room and has been there all week, was able to come home today, so I have been busy reviewing all the posts from you all that I had missed, and tried to get myself organised again. During the repair session I have lost loads of program’s and everything has changed, so please bear with me while I get used to my new window’s update !!! I struggle enough normally, so this really is a challenge for me…………………please be understanding I have my L plates on again.

I will be blogging again normally everyday, as from tomorrow, so once again thank you for still being there, thank you to all my new followers that I have seen, I appreciate every single one of you, thank you for my new awards, that I will deal with at the beginning of next week, it’s great to be back, I really have missed my blogosphere world.

theutopiauniverse's avatartheutopiauniverse

How many times do you hear people stating that all they want in life is to be happy, so what is happiness, how do people see and define the word happy, are we looking for special events, those moments of total euphoria where we think we are happy or full of happiness, to win the lottery,find the partner of your dreams,something that will take us to an all time high……..is this really what to be happy is, I ask you the following question, if you are down with the flu, what are you thinking ? probaly how good you are going to feel in a few days time, when the flu has passed, then you will feel fine, imagine if that flu was a serious on going illness that you knew was going to be a long process, not just a few days of high temperature and discomfort, your want…

THE GIFT OF LIFE………………………………………………………………………………………

Hello i am having problems with my little box! I am having to use my Phone so sorry hoping to put this right on monday

theutopiauniverse's avatartheutopiauniverse

Everyone knows how quickly our life goes by, but are we truly conscious of the gift of life, what that gift allows us to do,to be,to create. We are a gift, a very special gift to everyone who shares our life, we are first the greatest gift to our parents, this is a gift that can never be replaced,unique in every way,shape,size,colour,they are also the first gift that we recieve, this is where we accquire are first formation as little people,our character starts to build,and we reach our first ideas on the world in which we live. This is also the main source of our beliefs,which sometimes are perfect and serve us all  through our life, and someimes are not, and need to be worked on in later years, this is where it is important to allow children to be open to all views,and that change is not a bad…

THE BENEFITS OF BEING GENEROUS

Sorry had to reblog today, I have a busy day, Going to Madrid !!
Have a good day everyone……………………

theutopiauniverse's avatartheutopiauniverse

Did you know that the center of your brain, reacts every time you do something for someone else with no strings attached, the pure pleasure of knowing you have helped someone in some shape or form will give you great pleasure and lasting happiness. In todays competative times this is essencial for your personal and social well being.                                                                          Many believe that by being generous to others will give you nothing in return, or that you need to do it from time to time because that is what you were taught as a child by your parents,teachers or church. Do you remember having to share with your brothers and sisters, and how you probaly hated…

DO YOU BURST YOUR OWN BUBBLE

images bubble

Do you burst our own bubble, are you the problem behind your progress, are you your own little block, many of us are, and we just don’t see it, we presume that because we have defined our goal and are plan of action and that we really know what we want, which is most important, away we can sail like a boat with the necessary wind behind it, to make record time, sorry the answer is no, and it is probaly down to you, at the end of a long day, do you start to recap, going through everything you have done, giving it a once over and the why’s, if so you may also start to over think certain things and start to worry about things, that infact have no importance. But every time you do this, you actually put up a little road block on your highway to success or getting closer to your goal, because you start to worry if you are going in the right direction. Why do we do this, at times it’s called self confidence in what you are doing, you are doubting your own capabilities..WHY, have faith, believe that you can do this, you are not against a clock, just go step by step and KNOW that you are going the right way, some of us take a little longer than others, that is not important, what is important is that your foundation is good and strong and that you are also learning as you go along, imagine, if you got there straight away, but learnt nothing on the way, every time there was a tiny problem, you would not know how to solve it, use your time well and learn, and if you make a few mistakes along the way, that’s fine, you are simply becoming more prepared for what is ahead.

At times, the biggest problem is when we have to eliminate, when we are aware that something or someone is of no use to us, it must be eliminated, removed as a problem, (please do not misunderstand this as using people, then just dropping them) we are talking about constructive tactics in turning your business around to be successful or making changes in your personal life, if you need to change direction, you have to do it, and this involves changes on all levels at times, not always, but it is possible and if you are not capable of doing this, all your dreams, goals plans of action, beliefs etc., will be powerless. Until you make these changes these things will be taking your focus away from what you really want or where you should be and sadly at times with who ? This is when you need to realise that later, you may be a better person or in a better situation to handle in a new light, these eliminations you may have to do at the present moment. 

You need to get a grip on your life, you need to be in control. Not a set of circumstances or people. Focus on what matters, as hard as it may seem, you are doing this for you, and you deserve to do this for you,you may very well feel capable of doing it for someone else, if this is the case, do you not think you deserve it also, you know the answer to this question better than anyone ? To reach the success you want be it personal or in a business field, you must stop all the excuses, we are great at making excuses to ourselves, that has to end,you cannot go through life criticizing others, you will be a very miserable person, what you give out, you get back. Don’t put yourself down because you are to busy making comparisons with others, we are all different, all unique, we are quicker at some things than others, we are slower than others, the list just goes on and on, your self worth is vital to achieve what you want, you are worthy, you deserve and you can do it, look in the mirror and repeat that to yourself, until the message is loud and clear and you truly believe within yourself that it is that way. And never value the opinion of others over your own, don’t confuse instruction or expert advice with general tickle tackle…leave that for others. You know when you are right, your inner power kicks in and the direction is usually correct, nobody is perfect and nobody is a star player over night, it’s a step by step process, do not be afraid, if the way you have chosen does not seem to be working out, just try it another way, never be afraid,you learn with every step and just keep working towards where you want to go.

theutopiauniverse's avatartheutopiauniverse

We are always talking about what we want, how we feel,our stress levels,so today I want to write about this but from the point of view,of what we do in our home,to set those feelings up,when we start our day,do you have nature in your home? plants purify the air,they humidify the ambience and give us good well being. If you don’t live surrounded by nature,bring that nature to you bring it into your house by placing plants, flowers and herbs, you will quickly see how your health and feeling of well being is rewarded.

When we visit or walk down a street, filled with pretty window boxes, we most instantly stop and admire them,we are attracted to them for there bright colours,or different shades of green or maybe we can smell the beauty before us,and in that moment you feel good,our mood swings and we have a feeling…

I heard people saying,
God can’t be everywhere
So he created you….
I kept thinking over that
And then i realised,
Upto a extent they were true….

Like God, u give give and forgive
And we get get and forget
You did a lot for us that
Still, on giving our hundred percent
There remains something due….

You are happy either you are sad.
You don’t let us know, not a single clue….
All your desire is to fullfill our wishes
As we grew….

But when the pain comes to us
Or our situation is worse
When we are losing our trust
Our only hope is you….

You want to live for us.
You want to die for us.
You want to teach us.
You want to reach us to…
