life like lemons
life isn’t easy,
everyone knows it.
life isn’t always
sunny and bright.
if live gives you lemons,
do as everyone says:
take those lemons, squeeze them out
and make me some lemonade!
listen to me, I’m speakin’ empirically,
it doesn’t always turn out as you want it to be.
but don’t forget,
you will always get another chance,
you will always get another opportunity.
life is full of them, endless infinity,
the greatness of varieties.
take a car, pick a road, turn on the radio.
feel secure and free, life is your show.
and now, the most important lesson to learn,
there are things in life that you have to earn.
but never take over a minor role,
it’s your life, you should be the starring role.
stand in the spotlight, in the middle of the crowd,
if live gives you lemons, stand up and shout:
life isn’t as easy
as I thought it would be
life isn’t always
yellow and white.
if live gives you lemons,
I’ll do as everyone says:
I’ll take those lemons, I squeeze them out,
make me some lemonade.
now look around you, you are not alone,
in this journey, you are not on your own.
everyone of us is sometimes stuck in traffic,
cannot move forward, but here’s the magic:
we are not bound to chains,
we can switch the lanes
and relax our brains,
we don’t have to put ourselves in pain,
mentally or physically
everyone has their own difficulties.
so let’s stop for a minute and look at ourselves
and stop creating our own cells;
and just ask, is it worth it to risk our health
just to reach some goals like wealth,
power and fame.
it’s a shame.
life is a game,
so create your own rules and live free,
not how society wants your life to be.
so have a little faith in yourself
and get out of your shell.
life begins at the end of the comfort zone,
so get out before it becomes monotone.
Believe in yourself,
stop pretending you’re someone else.
you don’t need no permission,
you just need some ambition
to create your life as you want it to be!
life isn’t easy,
well sometimes it’s scary.
life always will be
full of changes, destinations.
but whatever life gives me
I will master them successfully.
I will be the ruler of my own game,
no one will take me that away.

Why Spiritual Journeys Are Hard For Some People
All clients starting a Positively Focused path experience life falling apart. That’s because recalibrations happen almost at once.
Those recalibrations happen any time one begins a spiritual path true to universal premises. So “life falling apart” is a good thing, an indicator the path works, a indicator the path contains accurate wisdom.
Still, such recalibrations can be so frightful for some, without a mentor, they will abandon the path. Some even give up even while having someone guiding them.
One such client came to me in great pain. Her living situation sucks. She lives in a strong, patriarchal, Middle Eastern country. Her father sexually abuses this client, who is in her 20s. Neither her mother nor her siblings intervene.
At her wits end, she found Positively Focused, reached out and asked for guidance, which I gladly gave. She began the work with me three weeks ago.
After her second session, she bailed.
Her belief constellations pushed back so hard, she couldn’t handle tension existing between her strong existing beliefs about immediate reality, and her equally strong existing desire for more and better, aka a Charmed Life.
^^An early client’s belief constellations trigger, just before she gives up.
Good news is, “giving up” always is temporary. One way or another, suffering ends. For everyone, death ends suffering. At death we give up resistance to what is and return to pure positive awareness, bliss and unconditional love, which is what we all are.
But for that rare number, suffering ends the moment they take charge of how they create reality. In other words, we need not wait until death to experience overflowing love.
But first one must learn
Tension between existing belief and existing desire is common. Such tension indicates realities one is creating are going to stay the same for a while, rather than become more and better. So it’s important knowing when one has both existing belief and existing desire simultaneously. This is the main reason why physical reality changes so slowly.
Eliminating this tension creates faster realize-ation.
Knowing this becomes obvious once one knows how to see the signs, practices, then witnesses obvious results.
Until then, spiritual seekers will shoot themselves in the feet by attracting thoughts that distract their attention, then express thoughts accurately reflecting their beliefs AND their desire…while not realizing that’s what is going on.
For example, a different client bemoaned his progress because he didn’t experience it as progress. His existing beliefs, the way he sees the world, and his existing desire, wanting more and better according to his circumstances, were in tension. The tension he felt, felt like pain.
What he said (via text) accurately expressed this pain:
^^A client clues into his obvious progress forward, after not seeing it at all.
But notice how he described his state of “slipping”. He expressed it so accurately and yet, totally missed the clue.
When I showed him the obvious sign, it broke through his resistance. He instantly felt better. Instant emotional improvement indicates massive progress.
Progress is always right in front of your face.
Notice his statement’s accuracy. Notice he didn’t say “1 step forward, 2 steps back.” That would have told a different story, one where he was slipping.
But he wasn’t slipping. He was moving forward. He just didn’t see the obvious sign, until I pointed it out.
That’s funny because that happens a lot with people on spiritual paths. They can’t see evidence, even when it’s right in front of them.
It’s hard…until it’s not
^^A new client gets it.
Many clients tell me being Positively Focused is hard. It can be, but it doesn’t have to be. Having someone who knows the path helps a lot.
Walking the path without someone showing the way is possible. Some don’t need assistance. But most usually do, which is why I offer what I offer.
It’s painful at first recalibrating to one’s Inner Being, one’s Broader Perspective, rather than being aligned to old stories creating current reality. That pain is optional for those who assiduously use built-in indicators existing for exactly that purpose: making the path not only easy, but fun.
It gets easy for everyone though after momentum builds.
In spiritual practices, early on it can feel like things are going backwards. But even when it feels that way, it’s progress. Knowing that will bring needed relief when feeling frustrated.
I know this from personal experience. So do my clients. Well…most of them 😃.
