Are you sleepwalking? Wake up! It is time to LIVE your Life!

He walked in the door a handsome man in his grey business suit. His cell phone in his ear. There was a cheerful greeting from the person behind the counter, "Good Morning!". The greeting was ignored. But I'm sure this guy must be really important if he is conducting business while shopping.

I observed him from a distance, something about him purked my curiosity. As he was lost in his conversation, he made irritated faces as he moved around the people in the room. Couldn't they see that he was an important business man?! I mean he is obviously on the phone, step out of his way. After he made his selection and moved to the front counter he sat his items down and threw his credit card on the counter never looking at the cashier and never stopped talking to his client.

The cashier smiled and asked him if he found everything okay and the man turned his back to her as if she wasn't there. After she handed him receipt an wished him a good day he made what sounded like a moan. I'm not sure but I think it was a thank you. He left the store and started walking accross the street and almost walked right in front of a car, but the car stopped as he yelled at the driver.

I found myself wanting to run after him and say "Mister! You forgot something. You forgot there is a beautiful life going on and you are missing it."

I'm sad for him. He just doesn't get it. His life is passing him by.

Thank you God for letting me observe this man and making me realize how much I have grown and how blessed I am. We are what we think about.

I know the kind of thinking this man does. That used to be me.

A few months ago I made a decision to go back to work. It hurt my ego because I thought that I would never have to go back to work but I knew it was something that I had to do. I choose to believe that my going back to work is simply a temporary set back and an opportunity to grow as a person.

This man missed out on a great opportunity to meet a terrific person, for I was the cashier behind the counter.

"Go into some quiet spot"...

Well for me my quiet spot is the bike path that I walk. This is how I meditate after I read a chapter from "Think and Grow Rich", by Napolean Hill.

When I first go on my walk, I say my self talk out loud over and over again. This helps me to clear out any negative in my brain. I make sure I say it with emotion and I have a smile on my face. When I am feeling really good emotionally, I then become silent and just walk. I become an observer and just listen to what the universe has to say to me. The universe doesn't speak to me in words it is just a knowing that I get.

As I walked today I received the most amazing gift. I saw some black birds flying around the trees and as I was watching, I noticed a blue bird. Wow was he pretty. He flew down right in front of my path for a moment and then flew away. So I continued to walk and it occurred to me that the bird, just flew there in my path. It just did. It didn't try to fly it just did. I feel like the universe is telling me to stop trying and just be. Just be me. Just be me and be open to what God wants to show me. I know that God gives us messages in many different forms. I know that I will know.

I think what Mr. Hill is saying is this. Know what you want. Be very clear. Have and know you will have it. Do your self talk to help you with your belief and faith and to get rid of the chatter and negative thoughts.

I also believe that the universe finds the best path for us to get to our destination. So again, I need to stop trying but be open to listen to the directions that the universe gives me. That is when I need to act. I believe this with my whole heart. I have seen it happen. I remember one day when I was talking with God and asked to please help me find a way to make my business work. I felt as though I tried everything and came to a point where I just needed to turn it over to God. When I did that, the next morning my phone rang and it was Bruce telling me about Mentoring For Free. I knew at that moment that God working through Bruce.

Imagine if I wasn't open to receiving? I would have missed out on all this love and all of these beautiful relationships.

I think this is what Mr. Hill meant when he said ...

"Be on alert for these plans and when they appear put them into action immediately."

Why so much struggle in my past? The past 44 years had been self talk of me (Wendy) trying to control the universe! That's why it didn't work. I am a part of the universe. God who I call the universe is in me, He is in you and everyone. If God is in me, than yes, I can create anything I want. But I need to stop trying. I need to just be.

Wendy Krick

Where I live we have a 1 mile bike path. So I walked today doing my self talk. No one was around so I could say it out loud and with emotions. Wow! It felt so good!

I just came back from my walk with the universe and I feel so blessed and calm. I find myself wanting to cry but I'm not sure why. I feel so happy and blessed and calm. I had a million thoughts coming out of me from where I do not know. I am hoping I can get it down on paper before I forget.

These are things that came to me while I walked. I am so lucky that I have the secret formula of life. It is really just about breathing in the fresh air, noticing the life and beauty around me. It is about following my life path even if I don't really know what that is. Doesn't matter. I know what feels good. I follow what feels good and trust that the universe will lead me to my destination. I get to leave the hard stuff to the universe and trust that I will be guided.

I am realizing that while I am walking and listen that there are millions who are full of worry and fear. They are working hard on life. They are stressing to pay the bills. When I think of them I can feel their hardship and struggle. Don't they know there is another way to live? I can picture these people and even through the crowd I can spot my face. I want to run up to me and shake myself and say "Stop being so darn hardheaded". So I remind Wendy whose face I see in the crowd of millions, that it is not her job to worry. It is her job to Live!

Now, I know this sounds really confusing but this is what I was seeing as I meditated and walked with God today. Maybe you can help me figure it out.

I think it means that I am starting to get it. When I meditate, do my self talk and clear my head of all negative I feel so alive and at Peace and blessed. I feel like a "walking talking vessel of faith".

But there are times when old habits creep back in and I find myself in worry again. And I loose my confidence and I don't feel good.

So here is the lesson or gift that I received today.

"Wendy you will always know when you are on track. Because you will feel good and happy and blessed. You will also know when you are off track because you will feel bad, angry, sad, and negative. So when you realize that you don't feel good, STOP and go walk your path or find a quiet place and do your self talk."

It really is quite simple.
