Your Kiss is on My List

“My list of the best things in life”  includes music that puts a smile on your face and makes you feel good all over.  Like my Blog post “Don’t Worry Baby”, music is great therapy and hearing the Hall and Oates classic “Your Kiss is on My List” immediately brought me back to the early days of dating my wife ( 30 years of marriage, and 35 years of dating).  Not only did it bring me back to the early years of my relationship with my wife but it also made it clear to me that we are constantly creating our own experiences in life.  And what may seem a simple coincidence is actually much more.

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner.   Whether you call it Synchronicity or coincidence, I believe it all happens for a meaningful reason and it is up to you to figure out what the synchronicity in your life means.  So where am I going with Hall and Oates and Synchronicity ?  Well, something very interesting has been happening to me since I started writing this blog, meaningful and fulfilling synchronicity is started to appear daily, I am getting back into the zone where I was completely in control of my life and able to create things almost exactly as I wanted.  Miracles both large and small have started to happen but most importantly, friends, family and random people who have found my blog have started to have similar experiences.  I received an urgent text today from a business associate who has been reading my blogs who wanted to let me know what a great day she had and how everything was falling into place as she visualized it.  Now I know this particular person is very spiritual, has incredible faith, an awesome attitude and likes to read things like “The Secret” and similar works.  So she is understands the whole “knowing” thing that was the reason I started writing this blog in the first place.   What was really cool for me was that she created her day the way she always knew she could but she took the time to share her experience with me.   Her sharing of her experience today sent a positive shock through my body of knowing we can all create exactly the lives we want and that thought (good or bad) is contagious.  

Hall and Oates, what role do they play in today’s post ?  That’s another fun story I would like to share with you today because it is a great example of the incredible sychronicities in my life.   A few months back while searching Facebook for old friends, neighbors and business associates, I ran across Bren.  Bren or Brenda as I knew her back in the 60’s and 70’s was the cute Blonde from across the street in the neighborhood I grew up in.  Bren was a year younger than me but I had a crush on her during my entire elementary school experience.   Back then,  and I suppose at that age, you never hung around with girls in a grade below you and besides I never thought she had any interest in me.  But I always had that crush and anytime I had the chance to give her a ride on my Schwinn Apple Crate bike, I always was happy.   Well it turns out that Bren is a huge Hall and Oates fan, which was interesting because my wife when I started dating her in 1975  was also a huge Hall and Oates fan.  I have enjoyed Hall and Oates ever since my wife first played “She’s gone” for me from the “Abandoned Luncheonette” album.   So last week, I am checking out the news feed on Facebook and Bren posts that Hall and Oates are going to be in town and she wants to know who’s going with her ?.  I jokingly, immediately posted that I was going.  I really wanted to go but couldn’t justify spending the money at the moment.   So after posting my reply, I forgot about it, then late last week Bren sends me a message telling me that she has two extra tickets that my wife and I could have.   Wow,   I couldn’t believe the offer so I told Bren I just had to check with my wife to confirm.  Saturday rolls around and I tell my wife about Bren and the tickets, she was thrilled, so I immediately confirmed with Bren.  Now that was all incredible and fun but listen to this,  so my wife and I decide to go to a movie that afternoon, we decided to see “You Again” with Jamie Leigh Curtis.  Now, we decided to got to this movie just minutes after I confirmed with Bren about going with her to the Hall and Oates concert.  My wife and I really knew nothing about the movie except that Jamie Leigh Curtis  was in it.   So we are sitting in the  theater, eating a HUGE bucket of buttered popcorn when all of a sudden the couple in the movie are playing the Hall and Oates song “Your Kiss is on My List” on the radio, now that may seem like just a funny coincidence to you but to me it was synchronicity and a reminder to me that I played a role in the events that had just been created.  Even better, at the end of the movie and rolling into the credits, Hall and Oates and the cast of the movie sang “Your Kiss is on My List”.   While I always enjoyed that song, I never remembered the lyrics including the line “The Best Things in Life”, when I heard that, I knew the Universe was sending me yet another message about why happiness is the key to everything and when you know the outcome of your life, you can’t help but be happy.

You can have all of the Best Things In Life, you know you can, you just have to visualize your list of the best things and sit back and watch them show up.  I am adding something to my list of the best things in life, getting everyone to know they can create incredible experiences in their lives.  I know you can do it and I know that in my life, cancelling out the media has had a major impact and changed the way things are going for me.  I no longer listen to  or watch  any of the major news networks including my favorite Fox news, I don’t pay attention to the political nonsense going on in this country (I do intend to vote and I know my intuition will guide me to the right candidates),   I have turned off talk radio in favor of audio programs from Wayne Dyer, Mike Dooley and Joe Vitale.  Yes you could say I am brainwashing myself with positive, fulfilling and uplifting messages, and yes the brainwashing is working, I am washing out all the dirt and replacing it with clean new information.  I hope you will join me in creating incredible life experiences and if you get a chance, a text message, blog comment or email would be great, I love to hear about people and the great experiences they have created for themselves.  Get to work on your list of the “Best things in life” and make your life the best !

Absolutely everything is possible if you can harness the power of your mind and put it to work for you. Choosing to always be happy no matter what the circumstances takes unbelievable discipline and personal mind control but it is possible and it can help you handle any challenge that comes your way.  After identifying the cause of my personal and business financial collapse of the last few years, I realized that in my 47 year run of creating exactly the life I wanted, I was always focused on the positive and for the most part always felt happy inside and out.  During the past few years when things started to go the wrong way,  I had people close to me asking me how I could be so happy with all the problems I faced, after a while, my personal mind control gave in and went to the dark side.  I started feeling sorry for myself, I started being sad and unhappy when people talked to me, I started feeling depressed, I started feeling stress and I started feeling overweight and sick.  Look at what I just wrote,  “I started feeling and being”  I did it ! nobody else did it, I made up my mind to feel bad and once I made up my mind that is exactly what I got, sadness, depression, stress and 50 extra pounds of FAT.  Guess what all that led to ?  Personal and business collapse !  I did it, not the economy, not the President or Congress, not the customer who didn’t pay (the customers paid until I changed the way I felt) I was totally responsible for creating the reality of the last few years directly as a result of my thoughts.

It has been a pretty good run since I woke up and realized what I was doing to myself.   I starting writing this blog, I started praying again several times a day, I started writing my life scripts and I started listening and reading 100% positive and productive information.  No more talk radio, mainstream media, newspapers or ridiculous reality shows, all I choose to fill my mind with is positive thoughts.  I can tell you that so far things were really starting to work well, I lost 16 pounds in about 6 weeks, money started showing up in my life in strange places and in strange ways (mostly unexpected, I take that back, I started to expect money to show up and it has),  I added a second full-time job that won’t conflict with my primary full-time job and overall what seemed like an impossible situation a few months ago has dramatically turned around.  Until yesterday, when worry crept back into my mind, I couldn’t figure out why I had feelings of worry and depression yesterday and the more I thought about it the worse I felt.  I went to bed last night for the first time in months not feeling the way I had been during this turnaround.  I woke up this morning and it hit me,  I had let my self-discipline slip, I hadn’t listened to positive input over the weekend, I listened to some negative talk radio, Sunday morning news shows and let some people close to me have their way with trying to get me to feel bad.  On my walk with my dog Flash this morning, I realized that I need to step things up, I need to shut out even more negative and unproductive input and I have to practice thinking positive and happy thoughts again.  I have to feel good and only I can do it.

I thought the best way to keep steady with anything is to have a system so during my walk this morning, Flash and I came up with a system to keep me on track. I am calling my new system, DIWIRIVILIGI,  Dream it, Write it, Read it, Visualize it, Live it, Get it !  those are the steps you need to do everyday to make sure you are creating exactly the life you want.  I know, all that stuff we learned in school is coming back to haunt you, unless you have 100% mastered feeling incredible 100% of the time, you must have a way to remind yourself of what you want and then you have to drill it into your head to keep it active.  This system is what I have personally been doing for the last few months, I have been dreaming about what I want for my life, writing it in a script that I email myself everyday, I read what I wrote to myself, visualize myself doing and having what I wrote, live like I have it and then get what I want when it shows up.   I can tell you that I haven’t been as disciplined with this as I need to be but even so, I can see things showing up on a daily basis that I wrote in my scripts just a couple of months ago.

I am making a commitment to myself to create exactly the life I want moving forward using my system that I have just outlined for you.  I am also adding a couple of modules to my system this week, RI, HI, DI  that would be “Record it, Hear it and Do it”  In addition to my primary system, I am going to record my scripts into a digital recorder, put them on a CD and listen to them everyday along with my other positive input.  I want to engage all the senses in creating an incredible life, I just need to figure out how to smell happiness now !

One of the coolest things I discovered over the past couple months is a web site called TUTs Adventurers Club  www.tut.com , if you go to this site you can sign up to receive “notes from the Universe via email”  They show up in the middle of the night and these emails are the first thing I read each morning.  It has been amazing to me to wake up, read the Universe’s email and see how closely it coincides with what I was actually thinking.  Here’s the email I received this morning:

If there’s something you want, Tim, anything at all, or if there’s something you need, no matter what it is, or if there’s something you’d like to change, please remember that all the bells and whistles of time and space were first hewn and blown in the windmills of one’s mind, long before they were ever dung or heard by hands and ears. Whatever you dream of, live it, live it now, as fully as possible, to whatever degree you can, in your thoughts, words, and deeds. And sure enough, as day follows night, as rains fall from pregnant clouds, and as melodies float from bells and whistles, your dream will come to pass.  It’s a sure thing,     The Universe

Thoughts become things… choose the good ones! ® © www.tut.com ®

I know, I know, Tim. Dung should be “rung.” But “dung” just kind of wrote itself… and made me laugh.

It is really fun getting these daily emails, kind of sets the tone for the day.  So today, take responsibility for creating exactly what you want in your life, it’s up to you, whether it’s up or down you have created it.
