I haven’t blogged recently but I am ok with that. This maybe the first time you have read my blog so those words are irrelevant and if you like what you read you may choose to go back through the archive and then it is truly irrelevant if I posted last month or last year or even 5 years ago. In truth I started this blog in 2012 after following “Inspired Action” and I had no idea the journey it would take me on or the person I would become.
In my Podcast The Fab Over Forty Show I created an episode about a perspective I gained after listening to someone else’s podcast that had a long gap
I have recently blogged prior to this one and you may want to go back at read that one first before reading what I have placed below and listen to the beautiful piece of music included
It’s entitled Please, Please, Please … Pause !! Inspired by hearing some sad news and unfortunately manifesting something I felt would happen in this situation but hoped would not
In that blog I posted a piece of music that created a Paradigm shift in me
The content below may do such a thing for you
My hope it or my words will do so
The music reminded me of the message I was trying to convey during my Art Degree Finals but wasn’t actively sharing or was sharing subliminally instead of constructively
My ethos is, it is never too late to do what you love and take time to enjoy life because we never know what tomorrow may bring and thanks to Ho’Oponopono to practice “The Art of Surrender”
Because my Brick n Mortar business (that I was no longer Passionate about) was failing due to the lack of footfall and the effects of covid (or was it?) I took inspiration from the book The Cashflow Quadrant and took a job, an easy job. To pay the bills and take the pressure off my finances with hours that allowed me to build my dream business ….
Or so I thought.
The reality. The hours were not what was sold on the tin with often longer days than anticipated and never knowing from one day to the next what time we are going to finish makes it difficult to plan or schedule appointments etc.
I was also carrying on a bit, my physical business online to create a little extra income to the detriment to the time I had spare to invest in what I truly desire but I recently ditched all that to really focus on what I am purposely led to create
It was that first morning of “Me” time that I saw a quote by the author of the music piece I mentioned and I messaged them to say the reaction it created in me
They messaged they felt our Passions and Purpose work were alignment and would like to collaborate
I was literally driving home the previous day excited at the thought “The Universe abhors a vacuum and just has to fill it” and now I have completely stopped the physical product business I am excited to see how that vacuum will be filled and that happens less than 24 hours later
This is truly the Ho’Oponopono Way of doing things and potentially Business
“Once You Make a Decision The Universe Conspires to Make it Happen” is my favourite quote of all times because it literally does and talking of quotes
I found a very beautiful and very unexpected message in my WhatsApp yesterday afternoon from a colleague who said they found a quote in their phone and thought of me as they felt it was my ethos and they also added an extra message that honestly I did not expect
I feel the real Ali, the Law of Attraction Ali I don’t fully divulge at work but even the filtered down version of me inspired them and they followed Inspired Action to send me this quote and I am following Inspired Action to share it with you, Dear Reader and it may inspire you to look at life differently and live differently
So here goes:
Barely the day started and… it’s already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it’s already Friday.
… and the month is already over.
… and the year is almost over.
… and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.
… and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
and we realize it’s too late to go back…
So… Let’s try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time…
Let’s keep looking for activities that we like…
Let’s put some color in our grey…
Let’s smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left.
Let’s try to eliminate the afters…
I’m doing it after…
I’ll say after…
I’ll think about it after…
We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.
Because what we don’t understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold…
Afterwards, priorities change…
Afterwards, the charm is broken…
Afterwards, health passes…
Afterwards, the kids grow up…
Afterwards parents get old…
Afterwards, promises are forgotten…
Afterwards, the day becomes the night…
Afterwards life ends…
And then it’s often too late….
So… Let’s leave nothing for later…
Because still waiting, see you later, we can lose the best moments
The best experiences,
Best friends,
The best family…
The day is today…
The moment is now…
We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away.
My message at Uni was we are all living busier and busier lives and experience more and more stress. Take time every day even if it is for 5 minutes to feel Gratitude and appreciate a beautiful blue sky, birds singing, children playing, flowers and their colours, the eyesight to see them etc. To literally stop and smell the flowers literally and metaphorically and take a few deep relaxing breaths and experience the perfect moment of NOW …. before it’s to late !!!
“Don’t Die With You Music Still in You” is the quote I heard Wayne Dyer say that Inspired me to start this blog.
Talking of smelling the flowers. I have a breathing technique and others ideas and tools to help live a more peaceful, rewarding life in The Law of Attraction Lovers Club
