Can it be that simple?

Yes, it is.

My all time favorite song growing up is:

“Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get,” by The Dramatics top hit of 1971, I was 3yrs old.

It was the first song from radio that I know all the words of, and till this day.

The words of that song was instilled into my young brain.

My monkey-brain processed it in a special way just for me. 

You get what you are looking.

So:

If you see positivity, thankfulness & success everywhere, you will receive and live in it.

If you see negativity, doubt & failure everywhere, It will be confirmed in your life.

Just a random thought running through my

MonkeyBrain

this morning.

Envy & Jealousy 

This is something that has been felt since the beginning of time.

It seems to have been engraved into us humans, that get stronger as we get older.

It is not bad but it is not good either.

When we are very young children, it can be as simple as:

I love my mommy,

why is my daddy coming

to take my mommy time,

or vise versa.

Or

When older, your best friend get into a relationship

and your friend spends less time with you. 

As a small child it is hard to workout these feelings.

When we do get older, this can become a problem.

When someone TRULY loves them self

and TRULY appreciate the life they have

and still strive to better themselves.

There is no room for

Envy & Jealousy

but only LOVE for all.

I tell you that,

you will have everything you want,

at the right time,

when you can truly appreciate it

TRULY.

Today, we Beings like to rush life,

but shouldn’t.

We must respect the process

of how our life unveils itself to us naturally.

Because we might think that we are ready,

when actually we are not.

By rushing into something we are not ready for,

will surely go 

wrong.

Jealousy & Envy

are NOT bad feelings,

it’s a natural feeling, all beings are born with.

But when you grow Self LOVE within yourself.

Jealousy & Envy

show up less and less in your life

and you start experiencing and seeing signs of guidance

all around you every day.

TRUE self- LOVE

is the only way through it.

Marriage , Mirage or Misconception

Friends. Lovers. Marriage. Family and lovers. Partners, sometimes lovers. Roommates. Vacations together as lovers. Partners or just each other’s plus one. Permanent roommates and sometimes friends.

This seems like the timeline of a marriage. How delusional we beings are to think that living in bliss with each other lasts.

Honestly it can work if both are willing to grow with each other because the end game is staying together. But the magic word here is WORK.

Both, not only one must work. Marriage is a partnership, this is what I thought, not a singleship, it takes two.

Because the end result will be the one working on their own, will outgrow the other, then be gone.

Thought: Maybe the word should not be Marriage but

Mirage.

On/Off Switch?

When a child grows up with, conditional love. 

Unfortunately, (unknown to the child) to have a healthy relationship, they will have to learn unconditional love.

What does this mean for the child, that is now an adult?

It means that they love fast and deeply, because it is an immensely beautiful feeling, of course.

THE CATCH: 

The child never learns how to truly love, but only to mirror it. Thus an invisible on/off switch was developed within them.

As long as someone loves them, the adult/child will mirror love shown to them. 

*The minute someone does not show love anymore towards them.

An invisible switch is turned off (unknown to the adult/child). This makes it easy for the adult/child to walk away. And never look back, thinking that they simply fell out of love.

or 

The love time, has expired.

  • There are many reasons for this to happen. For example: A person must refocus their attention on family members, job, and health. They also need to handle any number of life events that need attention. But the adult/child doesn’t understand.

The Human Nautilus

The study of nature’s grace, in growth, expansion, and renewal. The never ending, cycle of life and our behavior.

We are born & grow: 1 to 5 years

We learn: 6 to 11 yrs

We act out: 12 to 17 yrs

We experiment: 18 to 22

We stand alone: 23 to 29


We realize that not always 2+2 = 4, it  varies: 30 to 40

We realize, reflect and get confused: 40 to 50

We understand everything and know nothing, but start to realize that what has influenced us from 1 to 17 has formed our behaviors of today and we can start to heal: 50 to 60

We become calmer and accept: 60 to 70

We hopefully become peaceful: 70 to death.

Not all of us do, understand that our behavior, is a never-ending cycle in our life.  From ages 1 to 5, what we see, taste, hear, and feel lays the foundation.  This foundation builds our behavior pattern for the rest of our lives. By the time we are halfway through our life cycle, many of us need to revisit our past.  We try to fix, understand, accept or come to terms with our life.  Doing this ,helps us spend the rest of our years, as 

quality time. We can go out with peace.
