Are you dwelling in the Now? Are you aware of the gap between where you are and where you want to be? The “Now” is simply wherever you choose to focus! The more you deliberately exercise your focus, the more consistent and clear your focus will become. Seems simple, right? It really is though – that simple!

For a good part of my fifty years, I habitually moved through life from several morbid subconscious perspectives. I had yet to realize positive perspective focus on most subjects of importance to me. I was living in the Now. However, my Now was like the Ground Hog Day movie playing the same limiting perspectives over and over again on subjects most important to me.

Then I began realizing my “sweet spots” – the experiences that bring a state of awareness of myself as a Spiritual Being. I began shifting my habitual thinking and attention by noticing a different perspective – one that would inject itself at moments when I had abandoned myself into “feeling good” states of awareness. At first, those feel good states of awareness seemed very random and spontaneous, and for my conscious mind they were. Later, I realized those states were happening all along, subconsciously. I recognized the experiences that pleased me and was drawn to them like familiar strangers at a bus stop who became friends on my journey to and from work. They were my “sweet spots”.

I decided to make a habit of my “sweet spot” state of being. This was challenging at first. Little by little, my efforts became deliberate and, at best, an on-going experiment I now call the “Sport of Creation from the Sweet Spot.” It’s the spot smack dab in the “Gap” on the leading edge of “Now”!

For me, the Sport of Creation takes place when I am connected into my broader Source Perspective and feeling good. I am in a state of trusting in the unknown and experiencing good feelings in the Now. These are sweet moments I allow to expand into minutes, hours and maybe even days, sharing with others in my connection. Perhaps that’s why most people experience me as “positive and loving life.”
I find the key is allowing awareness of a broader perspective on all subjects most important to me and then allowing that awareness along with my desired outcomes to meld with my good feelings. Focusing on the bigger, broader picture is more important than the details. By surrendering to this process, I inevitably feel more relaxed and trusting! If I don’t pinch off my “sweet spot” with my proverbial bat of judgment, I can allow essential shifts into my creation.

The most challenging and beneficial experience for me has been learning not to place my attention on the details of my creation or on the urgency for its fullest expression. I have to let everyone and all conditions off the hook when it comes to my life creations and feelings of well-being.

​Instead, I habitually place my attention on and appreciate the fullness of my life at any given Now moment and experience feeling good. I focus on what’s working and allow for better and better to emerge. My personal truth is that everything I need, want and value is already expressing in all ways, always and Now! My evidence is forever forthcoming when I habitually place my focus on my Source Perspective and let it know of me.

Pleasantness liberated into Bliss!

I was found today spending time in one of my favorite Earth power spots by my office. There is a lot to learn from Earth, the stones. Earth has been stable for me throughout all my transformation. Stone helps me to remain grounded while going through – destruction and renewal – letting go and gathering. Earth and stones help me find balance between the Sun and the Moon and my place amongst the Stars.
