Have you ever felt so out of place that you have no clue where you belong?

I’ve lived in many places in my life. I have a lot of friends around the world and yet I feel like I live in a bubble. The only real interaction I have with people is on the internet.

When I was young I read Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy. On one of the planets there were only a couple of million people. None of them knew each other. They all communicated with each other through what we would call today, the internet. This book was written in the 1950’s. Sixty years later we are there. We are so close and yet so far from human touch, which is so essential. Human interaction is imperative. Do you know how many misunderstandings there are through text and email? If we just sat down with each other face to face many of these misunderstandings would disappear.

Why are you bumming me out Dave?

I usually have a lot of positive things to say. But as of late I’m not feeling it. I’m not sure if California is for me anymore. But what is for me? Seems I had to come to California to learn that I am talented. That I do have what it takes to make it in the music business. So where do I go from here? I’m not sure but I’m open to the possibilities.

It’s easy to let the mind go into analysis paralysis when confronted with a situation that you have no clue how you’re going to handle it. It’s not our job to handle it. Our job is to declare to the Universe what we want and it delivers.

I’ve asked this question before about this to some of the ‘Manifestors’ that I respect and admire.

“What if I don’t get it? What if it doesn’t come when I need it?”

What they have told me, which I am passing on to you, as well as listening to it myself, is this….

The only reason the Universe doesn’t deliver is because you really don’t believe deep down inside that it will. The people that make millions of dollars just ‘know’ that it is there. There are no questions. It just is.

So, we need to come from the place that it is already there. Like riding a bike. You don’t get on the bike each time and say, “Oh Boy. I hope I can ride it this time. What if my balance doesn’t work? What if… What if…. What if…”. This is analysis paralysis.

Just know, like you know that when you get on that bike that it ‘just is’.

This morning while meditating I was concentrating on what I want. And then, I remember the teachings from Summit Education that I was taught about wanting.

I get conflicting stories because Abraham says it’s good to want. I guess its how you classify the word want.

‘Wanting’ something is telling the Universe that you don’t have something. When you come from a place of already having it, envisioning it to already be there or coming to you. That it is coming to you when it is time for it to come to you. You are not putting out that desperation on ‘want’.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Be. Do. Have.

How is your meditation going? And your journaling?

Namaste,

The Mantra for today will be,

I will follow my heart. I will love myself. I will see myself. I will be myself.
We are (as a society) surrounded with a lot of ‘shoulds’ in comparison to others, only to find that those people who we look at who somehow got it ‘right’ were only faking it in the first place. There wasn’t a rulebook that told them this is the correct path to follow. They made their own road.

I’m not a perfect being by any measure. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I have made a fool of myself in my small community here on Facebook, Twitter, and in the ‘real’ world more than once. You’ve seen me go from relationship to relationship, band to band, state to state, etc. In my own defense (and I’m only defending myself for sake of this blog); I love completely and unabashedly. I look at everything and everyone as something new and magical. I don’t look at the past to compare because I know if I do I will close this heart of mine. I just can’t do that. My hope is that in your own way you love just as much and with as much zest as you can muster and that you can push it a little more each time. Sure, you’ll get hurt. But the next time you’ll have a little more clarity and there will be a little more growth. And then you’ll be like those people that you ‘should’ be like and making it up for yourself.

Here are a few tools to use on your new path.

Write 3 pages every morning. Don’t think. Just write. If you’re only writing ‘blah blah blah’ or ‘I have no idea what to write’, at least you are writing. Trust me. Something will eventually start flowing. Don’t look for it. Don’t wait for it. Just do it.

Meditate for 10 minutes in the morning to start. Clear your mind. Close your eyes. If you want more direction in this I recommend a course on meditation. I’ve done a couple. The one that I HIGHLY recommend is with a friend and mentor of mine, Julie Zipper.
