Things are changing in my world. I have stepped back from my day to day and had to again realign myself with where I wanted to go. Ever been so caught up in just making it through another week or month that everything else gets either lost or set on some type of non-existent auto pilot? Your higher dreams and aspirations seems so far away and your next tank of gas is due-which do we pay our time and concerns to usually?

   From reading about it in a newspaper to seeing it on TV,fear and doubt are all around us. Worried about fuel prices? Cutting back on food? How about your mortgage payment? Is your bank secure? Pretty sure you have asked yourself at least one of these daily,even hourly.

    I know I sure was. Like being in some horrible video game I was constantly searching for clues to just get me to the next level,conserving my supplies like a madman,and looking over my shoulder. Survival mode,that place where we become human versions of a squirrel. Paranoid of our surroundings and believing it was all out to get me unless I built up my hoard. But of course I would have to hide it our someone else could come along and take it!!!

     Oh no! I could not let that happen. No no no.

     And before I knew it,all my work was for nil because I either hid my stash so well that I actually could not find it or someone else did take it. Freaked out the cycle would begin again in my survival mode.

    What we have to learn is that in survival mode we do just that—-Survive. We do not profit or reach for the sky,we just take the next breath and survive to the next. That is no way for someone to really live.

    What did I do to change it? What can anyone do?
