The only limits to the possibilities in your life, are those you place on yourself.

If I get married I don’t want a diamond. I don’t want that pretty ornament. I want an iron band with no ornamentation. I want it to show that my love is strong and simple and that I do not need a diamond, all I need is him. A ring that is simple, strong, and powerful. I don’t need it to sparkle in the sunlight, I want it to withstand arguments, fights and fire.

Can I Be Reformed?

[tonaku]

I am, seriously thinking about making a KHR imagines blog, but I really don't know if my time(Which will be gobbled up by College and Highschool very soon) will allow it. But due to the fact that its my favorite anime, and the character songs I've been listening to lately are really making me think about it. Maybe in May, when college is out for the semester, I shall think about it again

Your Energy, Your Results!

Lynn Elliott

I’m in a special relationship.  I’m devoted from the first alarm in the morning to my last thoughts at night.  Don’t worry, my husband knows about it. 

I have a thing for my calendar.

It’s always with me.  Blocks of time are color-coded throughout the day.  Birthdays and anniversaries are remembered in yellow.  Phone calls, meetings and appointments are marked orange.  The teenagers? Purple.  When I look at my calendar, I have a sense that my life is captured in a tidy snapshot. 

Illustrating this connection with my calendar serves a purpose.  I really want to talk about energy.

In my coaching practice, I use the energetic self-perception chart (developed by Bruce D. Schneider) to help clients gain awareness of how negative and positive energy looks in life.  Recognizing the level of energy we experience puts us in a state of conscious choice.  Moving from lower levels of energy that drain us (guilt, anger) to higher levels of energy that fuel us (compassion, creativity) creates more capacity for us to achieve what we want.

I can explain the 7 levels of energy we experience by telling a story about my calendar.

Recently, while linking my calendar to my new cell phone, I did the unthinkable.  I deleted my calendar.  Gone.  Nothing.  Vanished.  I immediately felt hopeless and victimized—classic Level 1 energy. “Oh no!  Why me?”  This is the most draining, negative kind of energy.  I was paralyzed for moment.  Then, I was flooded with Level 2 energy which is anger.  “This piece of $#@!” I blamed the computer, the program, even my calendar.  I was stressed and frustrated as I punched keys on my laptop.

I needed relief and I needed my calendar back!  So I shifted to Level 3 energy, taking responsibility for my actions.  After all, I was the one who hit the delete key.  I began to experience a little forgiveness, which did feel better.  I’m only human.  I made a mistake.  Maybe I could rebuild the calendar.

Rationalizing or tolerating in Level 3 wasn’t good enough, though.  I considered other people who would be affected-- which is Level 4.  Completely rebuilding the calendar would take time away from my business partner and my family.  Solving this problem would be an act of service.  Then I began to consider possibilities – Level 5 thinking.  My best-geek-friend Troy showed me how to research calendar problems on the internet.  There was an opportunity to fix this myself!  I experienced some Level 5 calm and confidence as I pursued the possibility of a calendar back-up on my Google account.   After poking around, I found it – my calendar with its blocks, colors and notes. I experienced Level 6, joy!  I felt fearless in my abilities.  While my calendar debacle did not end in Level 7 (absolute passion), at least I was able to schedule a date night with my husband. (Red!)

I'm making things now! Come join along in the thinking! 

[my-very-last-words]

I think what we all want is some one were assured of. Some one we know we'll never loose. So we can make all those promises. And they'll finally be kept. But what do we do with things we always have ? Mistreat Them. So maybe we only have amazing things for a season. Because we end up hurting things we have for to long.

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. 2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. 3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
