Things You Comprehend After Midnight

A dear friend of mine wrote a blog yesterday about "Things You Wake Up and Realize." Well, those of you that know me understand the only thing I wake up knowing is that I desperately need a Diet Coke. In fact, I rarely comprehend anything before 10:30am. That being said, I usually have tremendous clarity around midnight. So here are my:

Things You Comprehend After Midnight

Life is really about the ongoing, never-ending refocusing from each new vantage point.

Music can lift me, physically and emotionally, beyond anything else. I can escape out of myself somehow, lost to the sensation, and radiate pure joy within when dancing. When I dance, the music goes right through me, and lifts my heart. It's a physical euphoria that nothing else can touch.

Sometimes what you're chasing obstructs your view of what's right in front of you.

Success is not measured by the physical things we accomplish or the stuff we gather.

Our success is measured by the degree of joy we share during our journey through this life.

Life is too short not to enjoy it.

The smile you give is the smile you get back.

I have met some amazing souls, and their light fills me.

Life is constantly flowing through us, but to be deliberately aware of this Energy, is the ultimate in truly living.

Once you embrace who you are, your life becomes infinitely more satisfying.

When changes come into my life, if I keep an open mind, and not push hard against the change, the outcome is usually tremendous.

Vibrational compatibility is imperative in those you choose to keep closest to your heart (notice I said compatability, not similarity).

What if we become aware of the process of assumption in our daily lives? What if we notice where we make leaps in logic, fill in the unknown, unseen and unheard with our own shades and shapes?

Push yourself to your physical and mental limits, then ask yourself to deliver more than you possibly can. When you come through, that's the greatest rush there is.
Never doubt the magic within.

The power to forgive is the greatest power we have.

I feel security in the fact that we do create our own reality, and feel satisfaction as such.

There's never a truly happy ending for those who lose their integrity.

Contrast and dissimilarity assist you in understanding your purpose. It is through your interaction with variety that your own desires are formulated.

I believe that our lives are a series of concentric circles, growing and growing like ripples across water, connecting us all in the same vast pool.

I have the courage to follow my heart, and the knowledge to follow the right path.

We must cultivate compassion for those who have hurt us. Take back control. You may not be able to change what happened, but you can change your perception of it. All you need is the intention, and you have the power to change. Through understanding, forgive yourself and the person that hurt you. This is truly a path to happiness.

I owe so much of who I am to my dancing. It has given me perseverance, discipline, poise, grace, and love.

Without fear, we cannot evolve. Fear is a natural human emotion that protects us from harm. It is also one of the most destructive emotions we have. It can quickly manifest into anger, which is poisonous. We must approach our fears with as much truth and courage as possible. If not, fear will override our incredible capabilities as humans, to live fully in a state of serenity.

The keys to maintaining healthy relationships: respect, forgiveness, love.

It is not who we meet along life's highway that matters; it's is how we treat them.

Life is a dance with the cosmos.

Maybe not being perfect is what perfect really means.

All my love,
