Double Your LivingWritten by David Wood
Double Your Living I want you to know beauty of life. I want you to AWAKEN, and see that people want to connect with you. I want you to finally realize how desperately you want to connect with other human beings, and then to distinguish, to see clearly, 100 barriers we accidentally, and deliberately put up to stop that happening! At core most of us are raised believing we are bad. Unfortunately, if this is true, we are also surrounded by people feeling SAME. The fact that intimacy DOES occur on planet COULD be referred to by some as a miracle. If one scared human being looks like actually getting close to us, fear of BEING SEEN, and consequently being REJECTED leads to instant barriers. I believe purpose of life is to find those barriers and bring them down. But that won't happen today..... I want you to get to know, how scared you are, and love yourself for it. Then I want you to realize how scared everyone else is, and laugh at joke. (You walk into a party and head to kitchen - safe from scary people! - but they're feeling same way! It's a joke!) But you won't get to know this - to really know this - today. I want you to remember with joy most intimate, loving experiences of your life, and then imagine them tripled. Imagine them tripled in intensity, and imagine having them five - times - more - often! (That's FIFTEEN times intimacy and love for mathematicians out there). Imagine lying on your death bed, surrounded by loved ones, breathing 'I have truly lived, like few have lived before me'. Imagine them saying at your funeral: 'This woman, or this man, will be remembered for truly opening up to others. For truly seeing people and loving them as they are. And! For first finding out what it took to love her self, so that she could love others.' Is that all I want? No. I want you to be so uninhibited by thinking of others, that self expression becomes NORM for you! We've been conditioned since age of TWO......to quash our impulses. Our natural desires are now strained through filters so fine, so powerful, and so automatic, that perhaps -out of TEN, only 1-3 of our natural impulses make it through to outside world. Is that possible? Could we be 30% expressed? Who has ever felt impulse to hug someone, or kiss someone, or compliment someone, and held back? I had strong impulse to hug my gardener! But it felt "INAPPROPRIATE". But who knows how she would have felt? Who knows how that could have impacted her whole day, and who she might have hugged? It was a natural desire which never got expressed. Inappropriate. How many INAPPROPRIATES do you have in your life? I want you to be so uninhibited by thinking of others, that self expression becomes NORM for you!

Change Your Life With a Simple Habit You've worked for hours on dinner - doing best you can - and he says ...................nothing. How do you feel? Feel like cooking tomorrow night? What if he says: "Jenny, I really appreciate you taking time to cook. Aside from food being great, I got to spend extra time finishing that job that's been bugging me. Thank you for that". Now how do you feel, and do you feel like cooking tomorrow night? If we're not acknowledged or appreciated, we're less happy, tend to contribute less, and begin to resent things we are doing. When we are appreciated, we feel wonderful, and want to do more for people. It's as if we have SURPLUS that we want to share! So what kind of experience are you creating for people around YOU? If you were born and raised on Earth, chances are you have learned habit of keeping any acknowledgment or appreciation you feel for others largely to yourself. Yet with a very simple habit, you can completely alter experience of everyone who comes into contact with you! Why starve them of attention and appreciation that lights us up? Action Stations a) Make a list of five people in your life who could use more appreciation (It can be a secretary, neighbour or bus driver. Or call a parent and acknowledge them for WHO they have been all your life).
