Long-Term Ideas

I am so grateful to see the enduring value of my long-term ideas.

Everyone I know is so grateful to see the enduring value of their long-term ideas.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is so grateful to see the enduring value of their long-term ideas.

-------------

Receiving ideas over several years as I needed them for teaching has been a wonderful experience for me.

Each time, I was able to use them to teach students specific techniques for reading music better.

Sometimes I would just write out a musical exercise on the spot.

Sometimes I made notes in my current spiral notebook to follow up for later.

These are the ones I am typing up now.

Some of them I have made into music books which can be downloaded from a blog with the current new releases.  (www.MusicandBooksforChildren.com)

Some of them are still in rough draft form, or are awaiting further development.

A complete list of projected materials are at the website I am learning to develop. (www.MyMusicalMind.com)

All of the ideas are special to me.

They are part of the sense of purpose and fulfillment which I have been cultivating.

They have been useful answers to questions for teaching students a better way to learn to read music.

I am so grateful to see their enduring value as I continue to learn how to share them electronically and to fill in all the steps for a new generation of students.

An Infusion of Happiness

I accept infusions of happiness.

Everyone I know accepts infusions of happiness.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet accepts infusions of happiness.

------------

Although I didn’t know it at the time, I received an infusion of happiness when I attended, on short notice, a play my daughter was called to step into.

The spirit of the performance, although an amateur one, brought us all together.

The unexpected infusion of happiness turned out to be a conversation with the person sitting next to me.

Although we had never met and didn’t even exchange names, we had such an unexpected and enjoyable time before the play and during the intermission.

After the play, I enjoyed a light dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend, also called in to extend the run due to the ice storm which shut down North Texas the week before.

We contribute to and receive the attitudes of people around us.

Discovering how to bring ourselves into positive and uplifting associations is important.

The first step is discovering how to do that just for ourselves within our own life and memories.

Then we begin attracting more and more positive events and people into our lives.

Now, I am experiencing unplanned infusions of happiness.

I look forward to continuing this cultivated new lifestyle.

Keep Doing the Work

I am grateful for the strength and motivation to keep doing the work.

Everyone I know is grateful for the strength and motivation to keep doing the work.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is grateful for the strength and motivation to keep doing the work.

----------

What is the work?

The work is the lifting up of ourselves so that we no longer succumb to the worst view or even a small negative view of ourselves.

The work is negating the lies we have been told about ourselves and others.

When we figure out one thing that is true about ourselves, divinely true, then we are negating the lies, all of them.

Our world is run by lies.

The most basic lie is that of helplessness.

That there is a cause outside of ourselves that makes us helpless.

Actually, the one true thing is that there is one power and it is within us.

We unite with the one universal all-power when we look within for what we can do.

The place for finding out about ourselves is within.

The resources we need to use to live out our purpose are within.

The guidance for how to use the resources is within.

The manifestation and rewards are without and show the quality of our efforts within.

We can always improve our efforts and therefore the quality of the lives we are living and enhancing.

Remember, despite another of the great lies, that we are here to enhance the lives around us as well as to live a life of excellent quality ourselves.

Our life only improves in quality is we lift up the lives of those around us.

This is a truth.

Do the work.

Light is the Norm

I am grateful to be discovering that light is the norm.

I am grateful that everyone I now is discovering that light is the norm.

I am grateful that everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is discovering that light is the norm.

-------------

We have all been given inspiration.

We were brought here, conceived as inspiration.

We are light.

We are here to express and manifest the light.

In whatever we do, in whatever business we find ourselves or choose for ourselves.

It is all about light.

Everything started with light.

The earth was not designed with failure in mind.

There are so many remarkable aspects to how all the earth’s systems work together, oxygen, plant growth, lakes, forests, swamps and their inhabitants.

It is all designed to work and to work well.

As we are now discovering this, we can also be inspired to make what we do inspired, to give light, encouragement, uplift those with whom we come in contact.

Our birthright, our origin is in light.

Let’s live it!

What I Choose to Remember

I can choose what I remember and how I wish to remember it.

Everyone I know can choose what they remember and how they wish to remember it.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet, can choose what they remember and how they remember it.

---------------

As the holidays come around, it seems that many people are making plans based on the memories they have or want to provide for the next generation.

If you have memories which were painful, I have found a different way to approach such occasions.

You see, I am rebuilding my life, including holidays.

For occasions that I found myself remembering according to stories I had been told, I added a new twist.

For occasions which require certain elements in order to proceed, I replace them with different elements and proceed differently.

It has given me an independence from getting caught in the undertow of emotions when traditional holidays come around.

It is still a tremendous pull, but given the alternatives, it has proven worth it to use all the tools and techniques I have to resist it and move myself in a direction which is positive for me.

It is tremendously freeing to identify the elements which work for me and to continue doing them regardless of the date.

That way I keep myself honest and happy.

I discard depression and anxiety and its old life, including its holiday traditions.

Good Ideas

I have so many good ideas to share and great places to share them.

Everyone I know has so many good ideas to share and great places to share them.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the world has so many good ideas to share and great places to share them.

---------------

When ideas come to you, they also have a designated place they belong.

As we listen to the ideas and record them, we become part of the life of those ideas.

We are led to take the steps which will most benefit them.

We are led to develop, produce, nurture and respect them.

In time, we will be the ones who introduce them to their intended audiences.

Instead of feeling that we are the ones searching for ideas, the ideas are actually searching for someone to receive them.

In this partnership, we all benefit.

We get to grow by receiving and developing ideas we love.

The ideas get to inspire, help, and communicate with the people who need them and will most appreciate them.
