It seems someone became irritated with me today ~ enough to delete her account here and "unfriend" me from FaceBook and other places. Interesting how easily people will do something like this. Not the first time though. So why? Well, I told her ~ and others ~ the "secret".... I've told them how I came to be wealthy ~ not in money although, I don't have money issues as so many have and, if I did, I'd take responsibility for them... not look outside myself and blame banks and the government. I do whatever it took to change the situation AND, if someone gave me advice in how to remedy it, I'd certainly look at it. I find I keep saying the same things over and over and ~ they're not hearing... they're not reading and digesting; they're not doing what I suggest. I'm thinking they don't "believe" it can be that simple. How simple is it? * Acknowledge that everything you currently have YOU created ~ whether it's material goods, friends, lovers, jobs, debt, EVERYTHING! * Take responsibility for it. So, someone took advantage of your generosity; maybe used your credit card or.... stole from you in some manner. Maybe only call when they need you. My teacher has a saying ~ if you feel you're being shit on, look at how you're acting like a toilet (or, something to that effect). Meaning, to me, how is it you're acting like a doormat? People say how "love is all there is".... well, love that you're a doormat (or a toilet). Love that someone got to use your credit card and left you in debt. Love that now you're working to pay off that debt... EVERYTHING that happens in our lives are lessons we need to learn this time around. Sure, it sucks yet, it could be worse, yes? Look at how it could be worse and appreciate that it isn't. * When someone tells you how they turned their lives around ~ pay attention! They're telling you their "secret".... I know when I read what I tell people I ask myself ... "Was it really that simple?" Uh, yeah, guess it was. I did what it took ~ I took action. * One of my secrets ~ appreciation; appreciation; appreciation! When I first began with my teacher almost 26 years ago, I used to look at, and for, what was wrong with him. I remember looking at his life and saying "So, this guy is going to teach me? And make MY life better?" Only one part of his life was, at that time, not the best. Over the next 16 years I spent with him receiving weekly sessions (yes, I worked 3 jobs so I could pay my own rent/utilities/auto upkeep, etc. in order to do this); monthy weekend workshops and Monday night classes I saw his life evolve. His relationships with women; his finances; his business... everything across the boad. AND, I did what it took go be there! Did I complain? Oh yeah! Did I quit? Yup! For about a minute! One thing I didn't do is give up! During sessions, weekends and Monday night classes, he told us how he did it. He shared with us his "secrets".... and he said, ".... even though I tell you the secret, many of you wont know the secret.." and, it was true. We'll never know until we're ready. It took me 16 years before I got it. Now, I still go to Monday night class ~ and, I'm still learning the secrets. There's more than one, you know? Oh! And what I do now with him and others? Look for what's right with them! What are THEY doing that works? Is he perfect? Not by any stretch! He's human! BUT, what is he doing that's working in his life that I can emulate? How can I make my life even better? He keeps telling me his secrets. Am I listening? Are you listening? I'm sorry this person chose to delete our friendship yet, sometimes lives cross and we choose different paths and who knows? Maybe we'll cross paths again! Injoy ~

They got what they got and you left in them something to grow. There is now way they leave you totally as you will always be there. The lesson will show up again in thier life and they will remember, and be grateful. Be grateful you made a difference, because you did, you sure did. Lv Bette report abuse

 written by Revvell , December 26, 2011 True that. Everything works out as it should; not always as WE think it "should" yet, it does. We receive what we're willing to receive; everyone's a teacher, aren't they? No matter how our monkey minds describe them. Is what it is. Thank you for being here, Bette. report abuse

 written by Diana11 , February 01, 2012 I think this may have been written for me, lol. Only I am in now way irritated with you.  I have just been wondering if I have a sign on my forehead that says "treat me like shit!" cuz everyone does. LOL. I have been mulling it over and came to this same conclusion. I basically need to be whomever it is I need to be and if someone doesn't like it, then so be it. I need to be true to myself so that I can attract others who are like me instead of these unsavory sorts. My own fault. True, true....thanks for the post, Revvell! report abuse

written by Revvell , February 01, 2012 You're welcome Diana. Thanks for taking the time to read it and ~ a secret ~ One thing that changed for me was realizing ~ I've paid my dues. Enough! Sometimes it takes a bit for the universe to get it; sometimes it will test you until IT gets that you mean it. Enjoy! report abuse

written by JoyfullyRawArtist , February 02, 2012 This is on my desktop...I love it and it applies here..... You are a tuning fork. You vibrate with the energy around you. Choose carefully the people you associate with and the situations in which you place yourself because you will begin to resound with the energy you experience. Negative, complaining people, chaotic environments, even sad songs all leave an imprint on your vibration. They leave a residual effect in your energy that you carry with you. Given the choice, you would choose clean air to breathe and fresh water to drink, right? Choose with equal care the energetic experiences in which you place yourself to make certain that your vibration is the highest and best. report abuse
