accomplishments

The past year 2012, I have assisted in establishing over 450+ projects, for people from nothing.
I know I said all those things which I personally want in my life..it is something i need to keep my sanity at times to want those things.
I am a female as you know, I have spinal situation/.
I created my life over again by re education of myself in... Screen and Media, Production, Music Business, Business , Pr and recording.
The past ten thirteen years, I built up a network thought my own research of over 90,000 Entertainment families. Not one cent came from anywhere.. As no one believed in me.

I have done 19 music videos for others , written two books, write blogs and empower many people. I have not been in the 'Limelight'. I taken photographs on many things since I was given my first box brownie..at the age a four.

I was ready and writing at the age of 2.

I sent over 100,000 books to the pacific for the communities over there, and gave that area of network to Rotary clubs in Sydney when they took it over in 2006 -7. I established all that from not having a penny to my name.
Everything I have done was from nothing, no money, no one behind me.
I wanted someone to love me for me.. so I went on line
Now I am clarifying that I know what it is like to be well off and also when you have nothing.
I want to play ,, enjoy life, for people and established many things in those past years since my divorce in 2003.
I grew up all over the place and met many people, well known and not so.. I was raped in 2004 and had major surgery then and in 2011.
I assisted many people, yet when I need to be looked after..no one came.. only three people out of the thousands ...
I am not a celebrity, or a well known star,, of business person.
When I applied for grants, funding support, I was turned away.. although I have achieved many things.

When I worked in Telecom I was in finance and accounting and handled million to the new infrastructure of cabling in and around Sydney and optical cable from NSW to Victoria.
The store guys nicked named me boots, as I was the one woman who went out in the field into their domain and seen how they worked, I even used a forklift. . hence the name boots.
I have been with many artists, picking them up and empowering them to create their passions and dreams, admitting I have lost a few, through suicides.

I treat everyone with respect no matter who they are.
I give food to the street people when they are begging..as that will fill their stomachs up or a warm blanket ,,,When I am able to do so.

I established Educational Books For Pacific by gathering and giving over 100,000 + books before handing the whole thing over in 2009 to Rotary.. not one company or government body wanted to assist in anyway until it was handed over.. I achieved that from nothing ... a thought..

I want a life where love is there for me. So I can curl up and just be.

When relationships are driven by complaint or by keeping track of who did what, or the need to be right, to control, the wonderful world of human possibilities ceased reverberate through them.* Possibilities between people require a space in which to create, and when that space isn’t there, most likely it’s because we’re holding on to something incomplete from the past.

Completing things comes down to a matter of getting beyond the “yeah buts” and “how ’bouts” and the “but ifs,” past our old assumptions about “the way things have been” and creating a context of our own choosing. When we experience things as being complete, it’s a state change, from being a character in a story to being the space in which the stories occurs—to being the author, as it were.

And because relationships exist in language (not just as a set of feelings or accumulation of experiences, for example), there’s a malleability, a plasticity, a can-be moved-around-ness about them. When we shift the locus of our dissatisfaction and complaints from something that exists “out there,” to something that’s located “in” what we are saying (language), what’s possible shifts. Being satisfied is not a feeling later labelled with the word “satisfaction,” rather it is a commitment, a stand we’re taking for that possibility. It’s a transformation—a contextual shift from being organized around “getting satisfied” to an experience of “being satisfied”—that alters the very nature of what’s possible.

When we compromise, even in the tiniest of matters, it’s easier for those compromises to become more and more commonplace.
Over time, bit by bit, this erodes our sense of self. It’s like stirring one drop of red paint into a can of white. The paint may turn only the palest shade of pink, and while that might seem barely noticeable—no matter what we say about it—the paint is no longer what it was. Similarly, when the wholeness and completeness of who we are is jeopardized in some way, albeit imperceptible at first, our sense of ourselves gets obscured, making it harder to return to who we are. When that begins, there’s really no starting point to become ourselves—it’s all flailing around.

The possibility of fully being ourselves occurs in proportion to our being authentic. Living with a pretence, or being afraid that some aspect of ourselves might be found out, precludes any real freedom. Being authentic requires courage. There is no template to follow, no zeitgeist to read, no known path to success. It’s a matter of courage—a matter of creating possibility. It gets made up as we go along, and it is this shift that makes available to us the full possibility of being human, Your inner Voice: The inner voice doesn’t so much conjure up the consolation of inner riches as it does a chattering internal radio. Our inner voice is at least faithful to us—it is reassuringly or irritatingly there on tap. It offers us the unfailing if ambiguous company of a guest who does not plan to leave. It can be companionable or frightening, may range from fascinated eavesdropping of oneself to a brooding censor within—an internal dialogue that occupies both sides.

There is a voice— questioned as to its origin, we have no doubt that it’s ours, but its habitual presence resembles a rapid low-grade commentary without authorship, rather in the manner of Samuel Beckett’s assessment: “whose voice, no one’s.” We are essentially in conversations with ourselves most all the time— conversations about what’s going well and what’s not, what others think, what we think, how we feel, the invariable what ifs, how about, are you kidding?, etc. That voiceover, that running stream of thinking and history and rumination, is not necessarily bad—it’s just, we never really get to hear another or they us. We pretty much listen only through the filter of what’s in our heads.

What we’re saying to others, or they to us, might seep in from time to time, but it isn’t in what we or they are saying—it’s what we’re saying plus what they are saying about what we’re saying, which isn’t what we’re saying, etc., and vice versa. That inner voice is a subtle and pervasive presence, and unfortunately has us miss out on the full possibility of communication and the infinite worlds it makes available. The business of living—our work, our mores, our relationships with friends, associates, and loved ones—is accomplished through speaking and listening.

Living Your Dreams



Living Your Dreams
Current mood:thoughtful
Dreams a (¯`´¯) ..•*¨`*♫.•´*.¸.•´♥`L O V E *.¸.*
When you follow your dream, it is important not to be one of those people who allow themselves to give up as soon as they face any type of difficulty or obstacles.  If you find yourself in a situation where it does not seem to you can hang on for another minuet, do not give up, because that is always the time when the tide turns. "It is always the darkest before the dawn".

It is true and it is something I remind myself of when things get rough.
We can't help being aware of the pull (the attachment, really) to what we've done repeatedly. Even when we know it's not working, we often find ourselves reverting to old, automatic patterns, whether it's holding on to our positions, playing it safe, being right... Pathways, conditions, and patterns established long ago many times aren't consistent with who we are and what we're up to today.

Hold on tenaciously to your dreams now, persevere, believe and the Universe will get behind you and create miracles for you. Feel this in your heart, your soul.
Remember to believe in yourself. As others belief's are not yours'. Respect others dreams and let others have their dreams and belief's.

Most important, always remain open to receiving your miracles
"Expect a Miracle" everyday.

Have the will and courage to endure, you will be in the exact right spot to grow and succeed.

You can live your life dreaming, or you can live your dreams.

Above all revel in your pursuits of your dreams, savor you successes, and forget your failures. They are not failures when you have learned things from the experiences.
"I have faith in myself and my abilities to overcome what ever is put in my path, because I know the "Universe and "I" is on my side. I have lessons to learn and grow.". "I have dreams and they will grow,when I allow them to."


Positively charged people react positively to life because they know winning means getting the upper hand in life.  You cannot win if you're feeling defensive all the time. You must take direct action so life reacts to you, instead of just reacting to what life throws to you.  You must do more than just think positively, you must act, feel positively as well. When you do these simple things, see how your life changes.

This does not mean that you ignore problems, but rather you refuse to let problems or obstacles stand in your way.

It means you are ready, will and able to do what ever it takes to make your dreams come true. It also means you do not let your emotions, like any fears and doubts, control your thoughts. Most importantly, it means you disregard what you cannot control, and only focus on the things you can change.

Recognizing the differences between being negatively and positively charged.

Situation: You are asked to do a new task
Negative Reaction: I do not know how.
Positive Reaction: I'll break it into small steps so it will be a piece of cake. "I can do this".

Situation: You're facing an obstacle that seems insurmountable
Negative Reaction: I will never be able to do anything about this.
Positive Reaction: What are the problems, what are the solutions, what do I do first? "When can I take Action?" What great new skill am I going to learn?"

Situation: Unexpected bills
Negative reaction:  What do I have to cut back on to pay the bills?
Positive Reaction: What can I do to earn more money? "Someone thinks of me"

Negative thoughts restrict your growth and your ability to overcome problems and obstacles. You must convert your negative thoughts into both positive thoughts and actions.  Once you do, nothing will ever be able to stand between you and your dreams. You will live you dream, rather that just dreaming.

Now is the time to really start taking life on. Your surrounded by both opportunity and positive energy now, to benefit from this incredible potential, you must take responsibility of you life and consciously use your good fortune to bring about real change, your desire.

"A price of greatness is Responsibility" W. Churchill.

To really experience life, you must participate in it.
That is why you must take responsibility for yourself, your goals, your progress and most important your dreams.

Only you have the power to fulfill your dreams, you just have to decide what you really want, then develop a plan to obtain it, then act upon your dreams, instead of waiting around for them to come true.
The only hard part is perhaps taking the first step. And that is hard because you properly have not ever done anything like it before.  Remember, once you take the first step, your dreams will start looking for ways to fulfill themselves.
Develop an attitude that says, "I have nothing to lose and everything to gain" because you do.  Never be in a rush to tell yourself "No" before anyone else does. Do Not put up barriers or obstacles where non exist. Most people stop themselves from realizing their dreams way before anyone else does.


Do NOT be concerned about doing everything right, because all successful people know "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly".

It is better to do something, anything than to do nothing. You can always make things better – as an artist, business man, athlete, singer or cook knows.
Almost nothing comes out perfect the first time, but practice almost everything gets better and clearer. So do not worry.

No matter what you do, if you keep doing it, it will get easier and easier, and you will get closer and closer to fulfilling your dreams.

Trails are made by the act of walking. Once made, we travel along the grooves that our own repeated action has made for us; the paths we take are well-worn because we take them every day, and we take them in part because, being so well-worn, they are the paths of least resistance and because venturing off the beaten path demands more work, and even risk.*

Transformation doesn't merely change our outlook and actions, it uncovers the structures of being and interpretation on which we are grounded. It removes arbitrary ideas and views that limit and shape what's possible. It takes practice, courage, and real work to give up old, unproductive ways of being. Choosing otherwise, choosing higher ground, inventing and sustaining frameworks that pull for possibility, forwarding the action, becomes a lifelong practice—a continual choosing.
The more we choose, the more we practice giving up what doesn't work, the better we get at it and the speed and frequency with which we free ourselves increases dramatically.

An early-warning system gets built; new environments and courses of action get established. The outcome extends in all directions—it reaches out into space and creates the future like a possibility.

Dreaming new ways to live and enjoy life is making new pathways. Many are afraid of change and will fight you, demoralise you, make you wrong and they want you to become what they see fit and know, these people are not dreamers. They are drones of the worn paths.

 Remember the phones, the light bulbs, the people who took a different path and made a difference to millions, billions, and your life. These people were shunned, blamed and tormented, although that was in the beginning of their dreams....look now!! you are using their dreams in your life....
 (¯`´¯) ..•*¨`*♫.•´*.¸.•´♥`L O V E *.¸.*

I found that who I am is unimportant. What I do is more important. Inspire creative passions which you were born to achieve and be, is!

Thought on our life in opening up to options

WE ARE ALL BORN TO STAND OUT,  NOT TO FIT IN.
We sometimes think that the circumstances in our relationships keep our relationships from being great. (If only she fill in the blank, if only he fill in the blank, etc.) But it’s not the content that determines the quality and power of our relationships—it’s the way we hold the content, the conversations we engage in, the conversation we are, the stand we take for workability.
Power, fulfilment, satisfaction, and aliveness in our relationships happen if we take our various complaints, or things we think don’t work, and promise to produce what’s missing (not as an insufficiency, but a possibility for  something). To promise to produce what’s missing leaves us at risk.

Being related is a grand conversation—it’s living in a possibility, and if it’s a possibility, it’s inherently risky. If it’s not risky, if it’s a sure thing, if it’s predictable, then what we’ll be left with is something trivial.

Our closest relationships then become a place of explanation rather than exploration, of resignation rather than declaration. In those moments, courage  is required to set aside our judgments, characterizations, and opinions and create our relationship being powerful again—being related is a

conversation, and with that comes an infinite malleability. Love, genuinely and openly expressed, is enormously powerful. And it’s in risking ourselves, in revealing ourselves to one another and to those closest to us, that we become ourselves.

When relationships are driven by complaint or by keeping track of who did what, or the need to be right, to control, the wonderful world of human possibilities ceases to reverberate through them.* Possibilities between people require a space in which to create, and when that space isn’t there, most likely it’s because we’re holding on to something incomplete from the past. Completing things comes down to a matter of getting beyond the “yeah buts” and “how ’bouts” and the “but ifs,” past our old
assumptions about “the way things have been” and creating a context of our own choosing.

 
When we experience things as being complete, it’s a state change, from being a character in a story to being the space in which the stories occurs—to being the author, as it were. And because relationships exist in language (not just as a set of feelings or accumulation of experiences, for example), there’s a malleability, a plasticity, a can-be moved-around-ness about them. When we shift the locus of our dissatisfaction and complaints from something that exists “out there,” to something that’s located “in” what we are saying (language), what’s possible shifts.

Being satisfied is not a feeling later labelled with the word “satisfaction,” rather it is a commitment, a stand we’re taking for that possibility. It’s a transformation—a contextual shift from being organized around “getting satisfied” to an experience of “being satisfied”—that alters the very nature of
what’s possible.

For most of us, “I” is positional (“you” are there and “I” am here), a location in time and space, a point of view that accumulates all previous experiences and points of view. Does this “I” presume a substantial entity located inside our bodies, or is it located in our minds, our families, job titles,
Facebook profiles, bank accounts—those trappings that help us maintain the meanings and  understandings that we have up ’til now considered ourselves to be?

How we “arrive” at this identity is mostly inadvertent. Essentially it is built from a series of decisions we made in response to what we felt or saw (consciously or not) as failures to do or be something. When these “apparent” failures arose, we made decisions about how to compensate for, respond to, and accommodate ourselves to them. The degree to which who we are today is filtered by those early decisions goes unrecognized.

Whether it is one or 10 or even 40 years later, we still hold on to that with which we’ve identified—obscuring access to ourselves and leaving us no powerful way to be with whatever is going on. But stepping outside of our identity isn’t so easy—it’s achieved a certain density throughout our lives, and it is all we know of ourselves.

The idea that another whole idea of self is available can be disconcerting,  invalidating. In setting aside those things that gave us an “identity” we  “become aware that this so-called self is as arbitrary as our name. It’s like  standing over an abyss, recognizing that ‘I,’ as we know it is not an  absolute.”* But it is here, with this recognition, where transformation  occurs—where we can invent ourselves as we go along. This revealing of our  selves to ourselves occurs in a profound way that can alter the very possibility  of what it means to be human.

There was a forest at the beginning of fiction too. Its canopy of branches covered the land. Up in its living roof birds flitted through greenness and bright air, but down between the trunks of the many trees there were shadows, there was dark. When you walked this forest your feet made rustling sounds, but the noises you made were not the only noises, oh no. Twigs snapped; breezes brought snatches of what might be voices. Lumping's and crashes in the undergrowth marked the passages of heavy things far off, or suddenly nearby.

This was a populated wood. All wild creatures lived here, dangerous or benign according to their natures. And all the other travellers you had heard of were in the wood too: kings and knights, youngest sons and third daughters, simpletons and outlaws; a small girl whose bright hood flickered between the pine trees like a scarlet beacon, and a wolf moving on a different vector to intercept her at the cottage. Each travelled separately, because it was the nature of the forest that you were alone in it. It was the place in which by definition you had no companions, and no resources except your own uncertain self.

When we’re young, things can get out of control pretty quickly. We experience danger as a distinct possibility that’s “out there somewhere,” and it becomes a notion that stays with us, at some level or another, throughout time. So from a very early age, we’re kind of on alert. The idea that life can be dangerous doesn’t go away just because we become (more rational) adults. And when we carry around the idea that life could be dangerous for many years, even the notion of possibility can seem, well…threatening.
When we give our fears rein, even the smallest moments can be daunting. Fears arise when we look back, and they arise when we look ahead. Fears arise about ourselves, and about our reception from others. Whatever their origins, they prevent us from living fully. Whether a threat is real (a situation where our survival is at stake—our security, our health, keeping our families safe) or imagined (a situation that might await us, something that might happen—or where we might be made to look foolish, for example), it is all about survival. Those moments of fear and anxiety—with the constriction in our chest, the fluttering of our hearts, the feelings of imminent danger or potential embarrassment—can be overwhelming, because we think some aspect of our survival is at stake.

Perhaps even more than sadness, anger, or disappointment, we find it difficult to deal with fear. Fear can keep us from participating, from doing what we’re capable of—from experiencing and expressing the full range of possibility that’s available to us in being human. The disempowerment, constraints, and stops, however, are not a function of the experience of fear but rather a function of the meaning we’ve added, and the decisions we made, at a particular time in the past. Another way of saying it is that it’s not the fear that is operative, but the automatic way we collapse something has happened with what we say it signifies. It is that automatically that keeps us stuck in place, and what has us lose our individual power. Old circumstances now have the power and to us.

It’s that automaticity  that keeps us stuck in place, and what has us lose our power. Old circumstances  now have the power, not us.

When we stop going for it—when we step back, play it safe, or say we can’t do something—we might avoid the experience of fear for the moment, but at the same time we are reinforcing where we’re stuck. We’re limiting our freedom, and cutting off possibility. Being alive includes risks, threats, and danger—the possibility of “bad” things happening is always there. But in planning our life to avoid those things, we’re essentially avoiding life—obviously not the wisest way to be alive. The Harvard Business Review might not be where you’d expect to read about fear’s pervasive presence, but the following appeared in a recent issue and I thought it apropos: “I get the willies when I see closed doors.” That is the first line of Joseph Heller’s Something Happened, one of the handful of superb novels about business. Heller’s hero and narrator, Bob Slocum, a middling executive at an unnamed company, is driven nearly mad thinking that decisions might be made behind his back that could ruin his career and his life, or might merely change things that are, while odious to him, at least bearable. Without transparency, Slocum is a quivering wreck. He’s not alone. As the second chapter begins, Slocum says, “In the office in which I work there are five people of whom I am afraid. Each of these five people is afraid of four people (excluding overlaps), for a total of twenty, and each of these twenty people is afraid of six people, making a total of one hundred and twenty people who are feared by at least one person.” The company, in other words, is a  pyramid of potential panic, ready to topple when someone whispers, “Jig’s up.”

When we can separate out what happened from the meanings we  assigned, we no longer have to be “at the effect” of whatever happened. We
don’t have to work on top of it, push it down, accommodate, or adapt to it. We survived the first time, the second, third, and so on—completing a past fear includes recognizing that we would survive if the past repeated itself.

There’s a big difference between being realistic about what happened once, and being resigned or stuck that things have to continue to be some way
now or that they just are some way or they’ll be that way again. Instead of wishing we could change our past experience—a futile exercise—we have the freedom to choose our relationship to whatever it was, and that’s the beginning of building power. That’s the beginning of creating possibility. Possibility invites us into areas of creativity, of uncertainty, of paradox and surprise. It invites us to bring things into  existence that haven’t existed, take a step one side or another, unsettle old realities. Our own identity, say, or the certainty of some fact, the behaviour of others, or even the meaning of words can come to be seen and understood in new ways.

It takes enormous courage to try out new ways of being in the space where fear used to be, and by choosing to do so, we come to be authors of our own experience. Choosing requires courage—and courage leads to the ontological question of being. Courage is rooted in the whole breadth of human
existence, and ultimately in the structure of being itself.

Courage can show us what being is, and being can show us what courage is.

Appointments

Story of Time in appointments. Please comment and take a moment to feel what happened and see what your feelings are about this situation or any situation. recipient as well as participant.
 
Story. Man wanted to see woman.. Man said 10 am at a certain place. Woman agrees. Woman was early and waited but had other things to do. Should she stand around waiting for man. Two and half hours pass. Woman thought she was stood up so went around to do other things which was important. Man arrived 2 hours later. Then stayed around half hour then went home and complained about the woman not being there, all over the net. The time was specific 10 am. Was the given time, and agreed up on. He arrived 12 pm.. First meeting. How would you feel about this. Story.. it happened.
 
The male never gave his number for any phone calls..  
 Question: Should the woman stick around? Question: Did the man have the right to abuse her about not being there?  
Now. to complete the story. Man was an important person. Does he have the right to abuse her on line? Making out that he was the victim and say he was stood up and he likes punctual , and carry on....?  
I find it all so interesting.. as many men complain about women, when men also do the same things.  
So you rather be late for a meeting or early?  
Does a doctor see you when you are late or early? Or on his time schedule?  
What happens if your kept waiting even when you are on time?  
How do you feel when he is never on time and what are your reactions?  
Do you look rushed when you’re on time?  
Or do you arrive a bit early to give yourself time to prune up and be on time?  
Or do you like letting time go, to see what the other person does and why?  
Have you any integrity?  
She arrive early and was there on time.. she .. are you late every time? What is your explanation when you are before or late on the designated time?  
And when you give a speech are you on time? Or are you there early going over your speech.. calming down and preparing so you can be on time?  
Or do you rush in and look messed up and go out there with no prep, on time?  
These are all valid questions.  
Being late has no integrity, as you lose the confidence of people. It shows who you are. privately as well as business and etc  
I might add, waiting around ..also shows who you are.
