I don’t have much to write for the moment. We have celebrated our year with WordPress and it feels good. Not profitable at all yet, but the potential is there. I am keeping it real. If there is no intent on figuring out how to make money with what we do, someone is making money from you anyway. So I feel it is important to keep that in mind, that at the end we are working towards a goal of making money by being writers and bloggers.

But there is a bigger goal in my mind, which is to help others and enjoy what I do. One of the things I enjoy doing is writing, but when it is appropriate for me to write. I tell myself that there are times to learn and times to teach, times to write and times to act, times to paint, meditate, read, listen and there are times to respond and make moves. So sometimes throughout the year, I am constantly writing and the material that I write is awesome reading material. Today is the first day in a while I have felt like just writing.

Life has been overwhelming lately

One rollercoaster ride after another. Out seeking information, I stumbled into a class for trading. The more I look at the big picture, everything is traded. Everything, everyone, every thought. It is all being traded. There are systems out there betting on us. So I ended up in a trading class and I am now a future day trader, so anyone trading futures, hello. Apparently I signed to a timeline which will not be skewed. At the end of that timeline, I will come out a more educated person. But it will be a roller coaster. So my point would be that when life is happening or there is a part of life that is taking quite a bit of energy, something else gets sacrificed. By the time the day ends, I am thoughtless.

It is funny the topic of speaking to myself in an alternate universe. This is a technique I learned about a year ago. The instructor said while you are inside your mind, you do not have to believe there are alternate universes. You just have to allow the thought of what if it were possible, and open your mind up from that thought. So when you awake you go back to your belief or what you like. But while you are in this state of meditation, allow yourself to see yourself in alternate universes.

Maybe there is a project that you would like to do, or a reality you would like to see yourself in. You would like to see the outcome of that road so you imagine yourself talking to the you that already did that and ask yourself “how did you accomplish it?”

That is a beautiful technique indeed. Or to make this a little more WOW to you, think of this for a second. Let’s say I am now in a point where I have to say no or say yes to a contract I signed before the end of the week. This is buyer’s remorse, so forth and so on. I would like anyone with whatever situation, scenario, or change you have in your mind. Replace my situation with yours and really try this out.

Speaking to myself in an alternate universe

Close eyes: Think of that one decision that you have to make now. You are at the end of the time to crunch the numbers, or fight, freeze or flight, right. You have to make a choice. You have known this decision moment would come and now it is here. Yes or no.

So imagine that choice, whether it is a class you have to pay for, a tour you would like to take or a person you would like to ask. Any direction you would like to take in your life that is different than your current life. Ask yourself what changes if you say no. If you play it safe what will change? Nothing changes, you are there in the same situation that you are in today. The same as yesterday, the day before, the week before, the month before. Same after, generally speaking, unless aliens decide to contact you personally.

What if you say yes? See yourself in another mirror saying yes. Can you imagine where that could possibly take you? If you cannot imagine then you have no imagination and even more importantly, you will not know unless you take that path and find out. You already know what the no gives you, the same as before and after.

More than likely though, you have ideas good or bad, of how that situation will go. It could go for the worst or the best, depending on your aim. Let’s say you go for it and say it won’t work. You jump into the experience and have a little fun. There is a new sensation going in your mind. New connections. Then the worst happens and you say, I knew it. There was a change you totally ignored but you had a change from what that no would give you.

I usually say yes and go in with an attitude of mastering it and giving it my all as long as it aligns with my goals and my values. If I feel it hurts others or it is misaligned with my beliefs, I will not continue doing it. I take it as I wanted to learn but now that I know, I am good. I will try something new. If I get into it and success is in my mind, then it is what I will strive for till I accomplish it. Hurdles will knock me down but I will continue to push forward till I accomplish the task because I saw myself in success.

When you can project yourself into the future and see success, one thing you can ask yourself is how did you get there? What should I watch out for? What low points should I take a breathe and let things happen instead of panicking in? What high points should I be aware of not to let them over excite me. Ask yourself similar questions on your path and see what you get. If you do not come up with anything, but you can see yourself being successful, then it is okay. At least you see success. So take yourself there and start preparing on what you are going to say your past self when they ask you how you got there. Start taking notes, start journaling, because you want to pass down this information.

That is all for now

That is where I am at and what I do. Sometimes I take time to write and other times I hardly write at all. I don’t push myself to write because I have so many other things to focus on and push myself in. I thank everyone who has been reading my blog Airbrushes and Airplanes from the start. I also thank all the writers, readers, subscribers and fans of our blog, no matter what direction we go. We are keeping life interesting and hopefully keeping the youth interested in reading and writing still. Some might not write much yet, but hopefully people come out of their shells and give us some great material to read that comes from the heart, no matter what age you are.
