How do I choose to Live. Today.
How am I going to be Authentic. Today.
How will I be Inspired. Today.


I Am, 
working (every day),
on being,
"My Authentic Self,"
in, 
"My Life."
To truly discover,
the Authentic me,
is to be aligned,
and in balance with,
"My Real Truth."
I meditate,
and focus clearly on,
a higher me,
and listen to,
and stay conscious of,
"My Being;"
Authentic in,
"My World."
To be Authentic,
is to be at peace,
with everything in,
"My Universe."
I experience,
a greater joy,
and happiness,
when I Am,
Authentic with,
"Myself."
It is,
"My Intention,"
to remain Authentic,
at all times,
and in every circumstance in,
"My Life."
I Live.
Authentic in,
"My Life."
I am Inspired.
by how free I feel,
when I Am,
deeply honest,
connected,
and seeing,
"Myself,"
as always,
Authentic.

Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 49.

Through the inspirations of my spiritual mentor Dr. Wayne Dyer,
I have undertaken this year, (as he did in 2006), the teachings of the
eighty-one verses of the "Tao Te Ching." Legend says that the "Tao"
(pronounced "Dao") was written by the prophet "Lao-tzu" some five
hundred years before the birth of Christ. The interpretation of the words
Tao is "The Way" Te is "The Shape and Power" and Ching is "The Book."
It has been called "one of the profoundest books in world philosophy."
For my references I have been studying the interpretations and teachings of
Dr. Dyer from his book "Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life."
In the spirit of Eagle Eye, here is my inspired (poetic) interpretation of
Verse 49.

                        Beyond Judgement


               "Changing" the way we view the world,
                                        by living;
                                  Beyond Judgement.
                          


                           "Existing" in blissful harmony,
                                 without prejudice and;
                                  Beyond Judgement.


                 "Exploring" the possibilities of a peaceful world,
                                an idea without criticism and;
                                   Beyond Judgement.
                          


                          "Noticing," observing, and feeling,
                          without critiquing and simply being;
                                    Beyond Judgement.

                            "Seeing" yourself in others,
                           with kindness and compassion;
                                     Beyond Judgement.
                         

                          "Extending" goodness to all and,
                          celebrating the uniqueness that is;
                                          "Everything,"
                                      Beyond Judgement.

                                   is left,

                          doing the opposite of,

Verse 47.


                                 Being


                Understand the difference
                            that is, the human 
                                     Being;
                versus the unaware.... and the human
                                      doing.
      
                              Change the belief
                                that effort and 
                                      striving;
                       holds you back... from ever
                                      arriving.


                                Learn the lesson 
                                   of living by
                                       Being;
                    and know the world... by simply
                                        seeing.


                   Doing less and accomplishing more
                      is to be at one with who you truly
                                           are;
            within your universe... you are the brightest
                                           star.


                                 Trust your heart
                               and the spirit flows
                                        freely;
                uncovering the magic... of the true human
                                        Being.

Live. Inspired. is a collection of my own creation. It speaks to "how" I have been choosing to live my life each day. A conversation with, and for myself actually. When my true inspirations are attached to that which I intend, I feel the Universe "opening up" to a whole new world of abundance, opportunity, and discovery. And by sharing my inspirations here with you...it makes me feel good too!

Live. Satisfied. Inspired.

How do I choose to Live. Today.
How am I going to be Satisfied. Today.
How will I be Inspired. Today.

I am,
Satisfied in,
"My Life."
I know,
deep within,
"My Soul,"
how fortunate I am...
and how good it feels,
to Live Satisfied in
"My World."
I am content,
and Satisfied with,
"Myself,"
and am grateful for all,
"My Blessings."
I am,
"Satisfied,"
and at peace with,
" My Universe,"
as it is...
and practice consciousness,
and awareness,
of just how Satisfied I am,
with everything in,
"My Life."
I Live.
Satisfied in,
"My Life."
I am Inspired.
by how deeply connected,
I am to,
"Myself,"
and...
"My Life,"
Lived...
Satisfied.

Live. Inspired.

Live. Notice. Inspired.

How do I choose to Live. Today.
How am I going to Notice. Today.
How will I be Inspired. Today.

I want,
to Notice more in,
"My Life."
I am working on,
being even more,
conscious and aware..
and taking more Notice of,
"My Surroundings,"
I want to Notice,
exactly how I am feeling,
about all that is taking place,
around me in,
"My Universe."
I am committing,
"Myself,"
to paying more attention,
and to Notice... and allow things,
to simply come to me in,
"My World."
It is,
"My Intention,"
to use what I Notice,
to better understand,
what I really want for,
"Myself."
I trust,
that what I Notice is,
"My Real Truth,"
being attracted to me.
I Live.
and Notice things in,
"My Life."
I am Inspired.
by the clarity I feel,
when I take a step back,
detach... and allow,
"Myself"
to simply...
Notice.

Live. Inspired.
