My Rules For Living
« on: August 30, 2009, 03:10:51 PM »
I am going to add to these as I change .


1. You have to be totally in love with yourself i.e take care of yourself, lavish praise on yourself, be exceedingly gentle with yourself, be true to yourself, be true to your emotions

2 Be the Center of Your Universe---Own your own position by making yourself as confident as you can be.
  How? By learning who you really are and who others really are and then be  who you WANT to be.

Yeah! Take that!! Where is the emoticon with the tongue that sticks out?

You better watch out because I have super-duper warp speed kryptonite powered compliments.
And, and, and, and, they are magical,..and...and...and..and...and.. no even more magical then yours... yes they are...!
Instead of making people invisible, my compliments make people visible!! Yeah!!...Yes I can prove it.....ya huh! I can.  


Ok, I'm just kidding. Going to step back into the adult me for a while. I've hijacked your post....write ya later.

It just makes me crack up when kids are so excited that they can't even get the words out they say and...and...and.....their eyes are so bright and alive and excited...and...and..and..
I love it..

Another rule:
  3.   Your pain in the outside world IS your pain in your inside world. It won't go away by outside attention. No addiction will take it away--only temporary relief which still feels bad under the fake "good " feeling.
 The bad relationship outside IS the bad relationship inside.The  shame, pain, fear, abandonment, betrayal, etc. are "who" you have the relationship with NOT the person in front of you.

A perception:
 A true writer KNOWS the child  and can tell me about her.
 I have lost touch.
 I have read certain books over and over--The Bell Jar, Catcher in the Rye, Animal Farm. They have childlike innocence.
 My inner child is stuffed in a dark room b/c she is bad.

The child takes risks. it feels out IT"S feelings, not feelers to the outside. When you see a vibrant child, that is what is locked up in the voiceless person.
 That is what I am hungry for---feeling and connecting with my true heart. That is what I am looking for outside myself.

Re: Ami: "When you see a vibrant child, that is what is locked up in the voiceless person....."

Wow. Your last post stated above, that is so profound. I couldn't agree more.


Ami, Do you ever get surprised by random things that call out to you for no understandable reason? I think that it may be the essential self sending us messages. Example: On the post about playing, I mentioned that when I looked at some photos in a book of boys on old ships my heart dramatically responded to them. I was surprised by my own response because I haven't had any connection with big old ships in my current life.
It RESONATED with me BIG TIME and I did not know why. I think these are very important clues.

What are your clues?

You are most Welcome Ami.
What is all this suffering worth if it isn't turned into something good?


Ami,

Ok, Remember the Warner Brother's gophers or chip munks and they were goofy polite to each other, they would say things like:
"After you," … "No, I insist, after you!" And they would go on and on..  :P

Ok, I found it, It is the googy gophers.  Eh, no I mean goofy not googy.
Here they are:

What are my clues, Helen?
 That is such an interesting question . My friend and I were discussing it other night. WHY do some images, scenes in books and movies, conversations etc stick with you, leave  a strong  impression on you?
 I think our subconscious might be telling us to pay attention.
 One scene in Rosemary's Baby stuck with me from sixth grade when I read the book until now. I  figured it out last week.
 It was a microcosm of my relationship with my F --all there in one scene from Rosemary's Baby.
 I think there is always s/thing we need to see but seeing it is not always possible b/c our denial can be  too strong. The denial needs to come down before we will be able to see it.

Great thread Ami,
I will always remember Shirley MacLaine stopping to sign autographs in "Post Card from the Edge." I don't remember if she was going into or out of the treatment center where her daughter was staying, but the message that my mother always took center stage, even when the "event" was mine and I was in pain, was so obvious I couldn't miss it.
