Dear Ones,
Life is not only what you make it. Life is what you PLAN to make it.
People often repeat the quote, ‘Life is what you make it,’ implying that you can create your life. But then the language they use implies their victimhood at the hands of Fate. ‘What could I do?’ with shrugged shoulders and upraised hands – the message being sent that there was nothing they could do, they had no power.
Or people talk about all the things that could go wrong in the future, conjuring up visions of great disasters, or expecting behavior from others that stymies their plans. How many times have you heard someone excited about an outdoor activity and then say, ‘But it will probably rain’?
These are not the actions of someone who truly believes that ‘Life is what you make it.’ When you speak and envision what you do not want you energize that. When you speak and envision what you DO want, you energize THAT. Life really IS what you make it. And Life is what you PLAN to make it through your thoughts, words, visions.
Now check in on your language, your thoughts, the pictures that you create and carry around in your head. Are you planning the Life you really want? Or did you just complain to someone about something you don’t want in your life?
Start this today by creating the vision of what you want your Life to look like. Add how it feels, the people who surround you, the activities you engage in, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the car you drive, what you do for fun, what you do for personal growth and spiritual renewal – Everything!
When you have a vision that carries with it a positive emotional charge and fires you up, then you have the measuring stick to use to gauge your language and your thoughts every day. Check that sentence that you just uttered – is it consistent with the vision you created? What did you just think about how things are today? If it does not bring support for your vision then cancel that thought!
All the energies of your Life must align in the direction of the vision you have created for yourself. If you struggle in some area of your Life, then examine the struggle for the lesson that will bring your vision into manifestation. Where is the lesson in this? Each lesson brings you, as its reward, a little closer to living your vision. When you are considering a couple of different options or choices, ask yourself which path is consistent with your vision and then choose that one.
This pattern becomes your strategy for Living Your Richest Life. You become conscious of every single step you are taking and you allow this conscious awareness to shape into existence your own vision for your Life.
Living a Conscious Life means consciously creating that Life. Go ahead and create the vision today. You can capture it in a vision board, a journal, or just in your head, but make sure you can feel it in your heart.
Then LOVE that vision into existence in your Life by feeding it energy from the thoughts and actions and words that make it manifest.
Love your vision into Life!
And so it is.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: The Language of Being the Natural YOU
August 28, 2013 — RosemaryToday’s message starts with guidance, and then I’ll comment.
“Dear Ones,
Energy flows where attention goes.
This is a familiar phrase to many. But the part that many do not know is that language directs the attention that the energy follows.
This is why a worrier can create such havoc in their life. They talk about their worries (attention) and the energy flows into the possibility that manifests that reality containing the worried-about-events.
Language, then, becomes the focuser of attention.
Language is also a component of thought. You think in a language that describes a picture or a quality or an event. Choosing language carefully, even in thought, is very important.
This is especially important when communicating with another person. The language you use creates a response in the other person. Is the energy flowing between the two of you as you wish or is your choice of language communicating something different to the receiver?
When you keep your thoughts focused on that which you desire to manifest, and you choose your language carefully to support that direction, then the energy to manifest will follow the path of your attention to manifest your desires.
This path also works to manifest your worries, if that is where your thoughts go.
You choose.
And so it is.”
Rosemary’s Commentary:
As we reiterate that ‘energy follows attention,’ we have to examine not only our thoughts, worries, speech but also the source of those thoughts, worries, speech. These originate from our self-concept, our beliefs about who we are.
If you find yourself focusing on your faults, your deservedness (or unworthiness), your lack of direction or confidence in your next step, then you are sending energy to maintain that fault, feeling of unworthiness or confusion.
Catch yourself using the language of what you ARE NOT and change it to WHO YOU REALLY ARE!
Much of my client time is spent helping them to find a new way of languaging what they are saying. Just shifting from ‘either-or’ thinking to ‘and’ thinking can make a huge difference. But it’s the subtleties of the choice of language that can really trip you up.
Each of us puts up a persona to the world as if we have donned a mask to hide behind. But who are we REALLY?
You are not what you lack or worry about. You are a great Light in the world shining only as brightly as you energize that Light.
The Natural You is the being at your core, that center of Light that can brighten the world for others. Put your attention here. Focus on your BEING, not what you are DOING.
Energize the Light that you already are!
This is the Natural You. Speak, think, believe ONLY the language of the Being of Light that is the real YOU.
Language will focus the attention that allows the energy to flow and brighten your Light!
