Make Each Day Count

I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's
gonna happen, or who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up.
Just the other night, I was sleeping under a bridge and now here
I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne
with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on
wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next.
You learn to take life as it comes to you...to make each day count.
- Titanic

Don't Quit

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,...
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Overcoming EGO's hold on you

Its amazing how God answers prayers...just a couple weeks I go I was praying.. God, my creator, help me change to be closer to you.. to be able to fulfil my calling.. to be even happier... to learn what I came to learn.. what's next my Lord, give me a sign. I remember immediately thinking PRIDE. I wasn't sure how but I started thinking and feeling a need to talk to some people that I was not talking to... I figured out I was being prideful all this time so I went and apologi...zed and accepted my mistakes...it was hard but it felt sooo good. Then I said... thank you Lord... they have forgiven me and I am happier.. whats next my Lord? then last night I woke up at 1 am, I had left the TV on.. I woke up to a program where they were talking about Mahatma Gandhi..

I could not help but to listen and immediately they started talking about EGO and how this world is so driven by it. So at 1am I was on google trying to find help on how to get rid of my EGO... the funny thing is that the last 2 weeks many people have been telling me about EGO... not directed to me all the time but I heard that word at least twice a day the last two weeks... so Im thinking... is that my next step?? so I read this article of 7 steps to take and WOW!!! this is going to be hard but I am willing to do my best!! If this will get me closer to him and will give me more peace and happiness than what I already have, well its totally worth it ♥ I share it here with you in case you want to try it!! ~Faby~
here is the link and I will type them on the first comment.
http://spiritlibrary.com/wayne-w-dyer/seven-steps-for-overcoming-ego-s-hold-on-you
 
Here are seven suggestions to help you transcend ingrained ideas of self-importance. All of these are designed to help prevent you from falsely identifying with the self-important ego.

1. Stop being offended.The behavior of others isn’t a reason to be immobilized. That which offends you only weakens you. If you’re looking for occasions to be offended, you’ll find them at every turn. This is your ego at work convincing you that the world shouldn't be the way it is. But you can become an appreciator of life and match up with the universal Spirit of Creation. You can’t reach the power of intention by being offended. By all means, act to eradicate the horrors of the world, which emanate from massive ego identification, but stay in peace. As A Course in Miracles reminds us: Peace is of God, you who are part of God are not at home except in his peace. Being is of God, you who are part of God are not at home except in his peace. Being offended creates the same destructive energy that offended you in the first place and leads to attack, counterattack, and war.

2. Let go of your need to win.
Ego loves to divide us up into winnersand losers. The pursuit of winning is a surefire means to avoid conscious contact with intention. Why? Because ultimately, winning is impossible all of the time. Someone out there will be faster, luckier, younger, stronger, and smarter-and back you’ll go to feeling worthless and insignificant.

You’re not your winnings or your victories. You may enjoy competing, and have fun in a world where winning is everything, but you don’t have to be there in your thoughts. There are no losers in a world where we all share the same energy source. All you can say on a given day is that you performed at a certain level in comparison to the levels of others on that day. But today is another day, with other competitors and new circumstances to consider. You’re still the infinite presence in a body that’s another day (or decade) older. Let go of needing to win by not agreeing that the opposite of winning is losing. That’s ego’s fear. If your body isn’t performing in a winning fashion on this day, it simply doesn’t matter when you aren’t identifying exclusively with your ego. Be the observer, noticing and enjoying it all without needing to win a trophy. Be at peace, and match up with the energy of intention. And ironically, although you’ll hardly notice it, more of those victories will show up in your life as you pursue them less.

3. Let go of your need to be right.
Ego is the source of a lot of conflict and dissension because it pushes you in the direction of making other people wrong. When you’re hostile, you’ve disconnected from the power of intention. The creative Spirit is kind, loving, and receptive; and free of anger, resentment, or bitterness. Letting go of your need to be right in your discussions and relationships is like saying to ego, I’m not a slave to you. I want to embrace kindness, and I reject your need to be right. In fact, I’m going to offer this person a chance to feel better by saying that she’s right, and thank her for pointing me in the direction of truth.

When you let go of the need to be right, you’re able to strengthen your connection to the power of intention. But keep in mind that ego is a determined combatant. I’ve seen people end otherwise beautiful relationships by sticking to their need to be right. I urge you to let go of this ego-driven need to be right by stopping yourself in the middle of an argument and asking yourself, Do I want to be right or be happy? When you choose the happy, loving, spiritual mood, your connection to intention is strengthened. These moments ultimately expand your new connection to the power of intention. The universal Source will begin to collaborate with you in creating the life you were intended to live.

4. Let go of your need to be superior.

True nobility isn’t about being better than someone else. It’s about being better than you used to be. Stay focused on your growth, with a constant awareness that no one on this planet is any better than anyone else. We all emanate from the same creative life force. We all have a mission to realize our intended essence; all that we need to fulfill our destiny is available to us. None of this is possible when you see yourself as superior to others. It’s an old saw, but nonetheless true: we are all equal in the eyes of God. Let go of your need to feel superior by seeing the unfolding of God in everyone. Don’t assess others on the basis of their appearance, achievements, possessions, and other indices of ego. When you project feelings of superiority that’s what you get back, leading to resentments and ultimately hostile feelings. These feelings become the vehicle that takes you farther away from intention. A Course in Miracles addresses this need to be special and superior: Special ness always makes comparisons. It is established by a lack seen in another, and maintained by searching for, and keeping clear in sight, all lacks it can perceive.

5. Let go of your need to have more.
The mantra of ego is more. It’s never satisfied. No matter how much you achieve or acquire, your ego will insist that it isn’t enough. You’ll find yourself in a perpetual state of striving, and eliminate the possibility of ever arriving. Yet in reality you’ve already arrived, and how you choose to use this present moment of your life is your choice. Ironically, when you stop needing more, more of what you desire seems to arrive in your life. Since you’re detached from the need for it, you find it easier to pass it along to others, because you realize how little you need in order to be satisfied and at peace.

The universal Source is content with itself, constantly expanding and creating new life, never trying to hold on to its creations for its own selfish means. It creates and lets go. As you let go of ego’s need to have more, you unify with that Source. You create, attract to yourself, and let it go, never demanding that more come your way. As an appreciator of all that shows up, you learn the powerful lesson St.Francis of Assisi taught:”…it is in giving that we receive.” By allowing abundance to flow to and through you, you match up with your Source and guarantee that this energy will continue to flow.

6. Let go of identifying yourself on the basis of your achievements.
This may be a difficult concept if you think you are your achievements. God writes all the music, God sings all the songs, God builds all the buildings, God is the source of all your achievements. I can hear your ego loudly protesting. Nevertheless, stay tuned to this idea. All emanates from Source! You and that Source are one! You’re not this body and its accomplishments. You are the observer. Notice it all; and be grateful for the abilities you’ve accumulated. But give all the credit to the power of intention, which brought you into existence and which you’re a materialized part of. The less you need to take credit for your achievements and the more connected you stay to the seven faces of intention, the more you’re free to achieve, and the more will show up for you. It’s when you attach yourself to those achievements and believe that you alone are doing all of those things that you leave the peace and the gratitude of your Source.

7. Let go of your reputation.
Your reputation is not located in you. It resides in the minds of others. Therefore, you have no control over it at all. If you speak to 30 people, you will have 30 reputations. Connecting to intention means listening to your heart and conducting yourself based on what your inner voice tells you is your purpose here. If you’re overly concerned with how you’re going to be perceived by everyone, then you’ve disconnected yourself from intention and allowed the opinions of others to guide you. This is your ego at work. It’s an illusion that stands between you and the power of intention. There’s nothing you can’t do, unless you disconnect from the power source and become convinced that your purpose is to prove to others how masterful and superior you are and spend your energy attempting to win a giant reputation among other egos. Do what you do because your inner voice always connected to and grateful to your Source-so directs you. Stay on purpose, detach from outcome, and take responsibility for what does reside in you: your character. Leave your reputation for others to debate; it has nothing to do with you. Or as a book title says: What You Think of Me Is None of My Business!

Be who you are!! and be proud!


Im a person that changes her mind constantly.. I could love my furniture today and in 2 months I can totally hate it and I do not mind changing it to fit the  the new look I want.

 

I cannot tolerate unhappiness for long periods of time.

 

I love to be happy and feel peace in my heart, and if joy is not present in my life, I make immediate changes... I am never afraid to start from zero anywhere or anytime.

 

I always work only in places that feel good and give me joy.... the minute that changes, I move on.

I am never afraid to let go of any friendship or relationship that jeopardizes my dreams, my happiness, wellbeing or self esteem.

I love to help people and I trust everyone 100%  until they do something to change that.

I avoid people who gossip, put people down or play the victim all the time.. Its contagious!

Good or bad that has been the way I have lived my life so far... I always know what I want and I always work for it.    I am happy to pay the consequences of  any of my actions and I believe I always get what I deserve :)

What is my Calling??

I really dont know what my calling in life is yet... I figured I would let God guide my heart to find it.  But I heard I will know what it is because I will love doing it and it will not feel like work... so I guess it is: Real Estate and motivating the people around me to be positive.. I think those are the things I love the most besides being a mom as this is the one that brings me the most joy.~Fabiola~

I forgive myself


Today I forgive myself for all the things I did or didnt do, for any decision that I made in the past that might have hurt those around me, today I give myself permision to do what makes me happy and gives me peace....and not care what others say or think about it. Today I remind myself that I am enough, that I was created by God and his love lives in my heart. Today I affirm that God will bring to me what he knows I will need and will also take away what he knows I dont need or is not good for the plan he has for me. ~Fabiola~
 

Be clear!

Life is beautiful but can be challenging.. some days more than others, with some people more than with others... But I believe every new situation that is put in front of me has its purpose... sometimes its a reward, sometimes its a lesson, sometimes its a test to see if I did learn the lesson last time or I'm going to make the same mistake again. I do not believe I am in this life to just go with the flow. I must know where I want to get to be able to know the road to take and what to avoid... so its important to be clear on my morals, integrity and beliefs, because only if my feelings are in harmony with those things will I feel peace in my heart and joy in my life. It takes a lot of strength to stay positive and joyful... you are forced to avoid certain situations, places and people and you have to be strong because you will be judged hard as selfish for doing that.... But in reality its the opposite... only if I am joyful and positive can I be of any good to anyone around me. But I do have to admit.... at this point in my life I am only interested in sharing my joy with those that are humble enough to express a need or those who show their love or appreciation to me... the rest I am strong enough to live without. Only my kids are an exception to this.. as they have unconditional love from me and forever. ~Fabiola~

PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL SPACE FROM NEGATIVE FEELINGS.


When the actions of a person in your surroundings makes you feel uncomfortable, weigh you down or annoy you, its because those actions are not in harmony with what you want or with your morals or values. Dont think you have to welcome th...em into your life. You have the power and the freedom to choose what you see, what you read, who you interact with.... reserve those spots in your life for people that say things that lift you up, that make you feel good, that encourage you by bringing out the best in you... Those people will feel right.. they will give you peace and clarity.... HAVE THE COURAGE TO BLOCK THE UNCOMFORTABLE ONES FROM YOUR LIFE AND BE WILLING TO PAY THE CONSEQUESCES OF DOING THAT!... I have been critiziced for avoiding some people and I can tell you that my life has so much more peace and love without them. Yes they talk behind my back but the only people that care about what they say... is people like them ;) .. who I probably dont want around me anyway. BE STRONG, KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, HAVE GOALS WITH CLEAR PRIORITIES, PRAY DAILY, AND NEVER COMPROMISE YOUR PEACE OF MIND AND HEART. ♥ ~FABIOLA~

know what you want and focus

When you finally decide what you want, when you figure out what makes you happy, when you realize what is not in harmony with your feelings or values, when you finally have clear dreams and goals... when you finally are able to see that God is in all you do and wants the best for you... it is then that you see that light so clear and its soooo easy to follow it.... all the negative people, things and feelings disappear because your life is so full of light and Joy ♥ Fabiola~

be selfish if you must!

Dont go out of your way to do for others more than they are wiilling to do for themselves. Some people just like drama....dont feel selfish for staying away..feel smart! ~Fabiola~

the law of attraction

when you take the time to listen to negative or drama people... amazingly more of them come to you and suddenly you are surrounded by them lol... when you think positive.. and put a stop to their drama or just avoid them... they dont like you anymore and amazingly they dissapear

focus on the positive!

When I focus on the things that make me happy, on the people that love me, on the things that are abundant in my life, on everything that works out....when I do that..... Joy fills my life and all I can say is... THANK YOU GOD! Make it a point to only notice the positve things today and ignore and give NO thought or acknowledgement to any negative thought or uncomfortable people that crosses your path today... pretend they are not there. ~Faby~

  When the kids were little everything seemed so hard and overwhelming... I just wanted some alone time to rest and sleep but they had sooooo much energy and as soon as I got home from work, they wanted to play and be all over me. Now its har...d in a totally different way.. its me that wants to be all over them and know exactly where they are all the time ... and they are like birds just out of a cage...
Now I have the free time I wanted to sleep and rest but now I dont really want it LOL. but I guess in 25 years I will be saying how easy I had it when they were teens, so I am just going to enjoy every challenge and celebrate every accomplishment with them♥ As long as they stay good kids and are respectful to me, I am not going to complain ;)

I Love Myself Affirmation

Deep at the centre of my being,
there is an infinite well of love.

I now allow this love to flow to the surface.
It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness,
my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions
and returns to me mutliplied.
The more love I use and give, the more I have to give.
The supply is endless.
The use of love makes me feel good,
it is an expression of my inner joy.

I love myself;
therefore, I take loving care of my body.
I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages,
I lovingly groom it and dress it, and my body lovingly
responds to me with vibrant health and energy.

I love myself; therefore provide for myself
a comfortable home, one that fills
all my needs and is a pleasure to be in.
I fill the rooms with the vibration of love
so that all who enter, myself included,
will feel this love and be nourished by it.

I love myself; therefore I work at a job I truly enjoy
doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities,
working with and for people I love and who love me,
and earning a good income.

I love myself; therefore, I behave and think in a loving
way to all people for I know that that which I give out
returns to me multiplied.
I only attract loving people in my world,
for they are a mirror of what I am.

I love myself; therefore I forgive and totally release
the past and all past experiences and I am free.

I love myself; therefore I live totally in the now,
experiencing each moment as good and knowing that
my future is bright and joyous and secure,
for I am a beloved child of the Universe
and the Universe lovingly takes care of me
now and forever more.

And so it is.

Do I believe in the law of attraction?

Do I believe in the law of attraction? 

I didn't even know it existed or was taking place in my life until I started looking back to all I have done in my life... some things totally surprising to me.. I mean, God knew that is what I wanted and I would pray for it but could it be that me thinking about it and being so excited about it, helped?
I was 15 years old praying for my first boyfriend to come find me.. he was already 18 and engaged to some girl. I used to imagine how he would just show up one day and tell me, the wedding is off and I want you to be my girlfriend.  This is silly as I had never even kissed a boy before but yet I had imagine how it was all going to be.  One day out of the blue he shows up and guess what?...the wedding was off and we started dating... of course behind my parents back.  I was such a little girl and it took him a couple of months to realize that after him being with an older woman.. holding hands was not going to be enough so we decided that he needed to come back when I was older. My dad being a very strict father and a cop encouraged him to not even try anything else ;)  So I went on with my life knowing that he would be back when I was 18... and he did.  Of course by then I had a high school boyfriend who I adored but we still ended up getting back together because that is what I had planned and written on my diary, prayed on and deep in my heart wanted.  Later  I realized it was not what I wanted and we both moved on happily.

Tired of dating guys that bought me anything I wanted and had nice cars and motorcycles, I, one day said... God I just want a guy that  truly loves me and will love me for the rest of his life and I don't care about money or if he has a car or buys me things... I just want to be loved!  and so he came... no car, no money but loved me with all his heart. It was true love regardless of all the drama and it was sooooo hard to let go. We got married twice, divorced twice and had two boys.. we loved each other until the day he died even though we were not together as we were just not compatible in many things and we had decided to just be friends.

I then said.... I need to move back to the U.S. before my kids have to go to school. I refuse to cross the border every day to  take them to school.. and I want to buy because I refuse to pay rent.  Of course I had terrible credit, no money and I was a retail manager with low pay.  But I called a sign I saw on the street one day and the lady helped me fix my credit but I needed $4,000 dollars... now for someone that was making 15,000 a year that amount was unrealistic to save. specially a single mom that was getting no child support... but I ended up getting an insurance settlement for that amount that same month and there it was!!... I bought my first property in the US.
Later I started dating the principal of my son's school.  I thought he would be the perfect step father.. who better than someone that had chose to work with kids for a living.. right?  But there was a problem, after dating for a while he said... I can't marry someone that has no college degree or makes less money than me. I was heart broken... I think it was his way of encouraging me to go back to school, because he was all about education.... but I said... I tell you what... I wont go back to school but I will make more money than you... you will see! I remember his reaction to my statement... it was not of disbelief it was more like an encouraging smile.. he said.... well good, do it and we will get married and winked his eye.  I am assuming he figured he will eventually convince me to go back to school to make it happen.  But one day a Broker showed up at the Bath and Body works shop where I worked.. he was so impressed with my selling skills that he wanted me to go work with him selling Real Estate. 6 months after that I was selling Real Estate and 22 months after I was making double what my boyfriend was making.  And yes he did give me a ring and I decided not to get married after all.
Many things after have happened the same way.... I say I want them, I take action and somehow they work out even if they seem unrealistic.  I pray for it, I ask God and tell him why I want it.... but now I truly believe it and am positive about it.
I also realize that many things I don't even ask for... I some how think that deep in my heart I don't believe I deserve them. 
There was a time that I even believed I was not worthy enough to accept God in my heart.... but a lady from Macomb Michigan who I had never met... called me one day and walked me through the process over the phone....  Now that to me is amazing.... and since then I have been aware he lives in my heart, even though I now know he was always there just waiting for me to acknowledge him.

So YES I believe that I attract what I put my mind into, as long as I am willing to do the work... God will be there to move mountains to make it happen and his universe will conspire to make it work out.  So I will continue this awesome journey of my life but now that I know my positive thoughts do have a purpose .... I will have a closer communication with God about things I want in my life

It must be a Mexican thing or something but I do not want my kids to move out LOL...what a way to keep boyfriends away huh? ha ha ha......When my son Adrian said he was moving out I thought I was going to have a heart attack.. but I had to pretend it was all cool and I was okay with it.  As soon as he left the room I burst into tears and worry... omg  how would I know where he is at? what he is doing? is he okay? is he safe? did he eat?  so many questions....  But then I remembered that his dad was his age.. 18... when we got married... can you imagine?? what were we thinking LOL  well I guess times change and no matter how old our kids are they will always be babies to us. I know they will move on with their lives and leave the nest but until then I am going to enjoy them daily even with their messy habits ;)
