Canvas of Life (Part 6)

myth - mystery - revelation
- nectar of the gods 2 -

Tea Lover's Tale

In the toss of many words few perform sweet puppetry in all of us. God utters this word and that word, and we behold wonders. So is heard. And so is said. The mind of a champion, the soul of a hero, the spirit of a believer, the will of a survivor, are swept and swooned into the realms of greatness on the wings of just a few words. Such words are like mustard seeds.

ILICET - A Time To Begin Again

---

During this series we are exploring myths and mysteries to peel away practical wisdom without asserting fact or fiction purely to glean what's usable for enriching relationships, confronting challenges, and producing outcomes worthy of the label well done.

As we share real snap stories of our search and findings (in context with our word of the moment), we will encourage each other to select gems from the scramble, thanks to exceptional creators, influencers and producers.

Occasionally we will invite you to score a particular disclosure - myth, mystery, awesome revelation, or pure folly - then to re-examine your evaluation after a period of reflection. At the end we will ask you to put it all together. Then voila!

Enjoy.

The Container & Its Content

You've probably done this. If perchance you haven't, say we're granted a fresh start in life as well as the unavoidable responsibility to define and design our quality of life in toto. What would your redesigned life consist of, and what do you anticipate that experience would be?

This, of course, would be a personal inquiry and enactment, so when spelt out in detail (a clear vision of your desired quality of life) what would this look like on your most private wall?

Here is a question I'm asking myself as I engage this exercise: am I of make and capacity fully capable of embodying this new vision?

What about you? How are you doing so far? (Take the time necessary; the time is yours regardless - no matter what you do with it.)

• How will you make your new vision an ongoing reality?
• Does belief play a significant role? If so, how so?
• Do you need to resolve any major issue? If so, how will you?
• Is your new reality a pursuit, a fight, a revelation, a realization, a creation, a collaboration, a wait, a hope, an evolution, or how would you describe where you are along that journey?

 

Of course, in case of inhibition, fear or doubt, you are welcome to our regularly updated PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT and associated playlists, which may prove an excellent resource in your pursuit. Click and take as you please.

 

This episode's word is design: def - "of God, from God, like God; excellence, clear blueprint, divine conception, delightful representation." (Which of the world's four most powerful words by virtue of influence would 'design' be considered a derivative of? 50 points.)

Exceptional Design

"An infinity of forests lies dormant in in the dream of an accorn."

_ The Tea Lover

 

Jada, Emily and O'Shon were preparing for battle, steeped in their do-diligence, competently mentored and resourced. Elsa Janet Arcos had already set her trap for Boom-Boom. Jessica was still on cloud nine. Kevin left for a stint in the wilderness. But Wesley! He was certain they were all missing something. Throughout all of the shared stories of mind-bending encounters with The Decider, Destiny and The Dream, and with all of his many escapades there was not one reference of Compton (the Invincible Nectar Bearer) confronting any member or batalion of The Decider's ubiquitous army.

Hmm?

Blueprint

"Know what you own. Understand what you claim. Believe you can achieve what you conceive then call it by its name. Mine! The extent to which you have this clarity of mind, this purity of understanding, this strength of belief, you have the fire, the fuel, the impetus, the passion, the determination, the willpower you require to pursue and retrieve your truest desire. But do not claim what does not belong to you. It will not keep you . . . it will suffer you but for only so long."

[ ILICET - A Time To Begin Again ]

 

Real People doing Un-Real Things

You are valued. You are important. What you experience is important. Your intention matters. You are a whole being. You are a true wonder. You diminish yourself whenever you pit valued elements of who you are against vital elements of who you are: your intuitive self against your intellectual self, your rational self against your emotional self, your gut against your heart against your head. Don't be put at war against yourself: you are a masterpiece. An intricate being. Human!

1. to seek to understand before seeking to be understood
2. to demonstrate that understanding
3. to collaborate to reach creative solutions
4. to discover and dispense with bad habits, such as drifting off while conversing
5. to NOT listen with intent to criticize (set aside verbal weapons)
6. to practice, i.e., to lend an ear wherever practicable (listening to learn).
7. to choose the most effective communication chanel beneficial to the person engaged: face to face? phone? email? text?

The Hunks I Dreamed by Neville DeAngelou

Smile. Live. Love. Laugh. Look. Listen. Learn. Be awesome. You are powerful beyond measure. You are not alone. You can do all things. I am you. You are me. We are one. Keep Sharing.

Standard problem-solving steps repeated: 1) Understand the problem. 2) Devise a workable plan to solve the problem. 3) Test your plan where applicable. 4) Implement the plan. 5) Interpret the results. 6) Use that feedback.

Something else to Consider: In this life, are you the container or the content? If you are the container, what do you contain and of what value is it to the universe? If your are the content, what is your container and where are you most valuable? How you realize and communicate your value in order to uplift and progress the human family impacts the state of your home: whatever furnishes it to give you rest, whatever restores you to regenerate more. - (A Place Called Ah.)

Breathe.
We are accompanied.

Dare to lead your life with joy. Check this out - Be the best you can be!

Every new era is marked by a challenge that reveals the true nature of its character, its soul, its heart, our very being; a challenge so pervasive, so corrosive, so corrupting, it indulges our need for respite; a challenge that demands a new breed - A Breed Beyond The Hero.
