Happy Mothers Day!
Mothers day is a great opportunity for love, family and reflection.
Please take a few minutes to read this message and
reflect on your life.
Are you Actively Involved in Getting What You want,
If not you Don't Really Want It.
Write that in big letters somewhere you can read
it often. A lot of negative thinking, depression,
frustration, and illness stems from people's thinking
they want something they don't really want.
How do you really know what you want? What ever
you are actively involved in getting, that's
what you really want. Everything else is just
what you think you want. if you think you want
something and you're not actively involved in
getting it, you're probably just kidding yourself.
It's true that, in every moment, you can't be
actively involved in doing something about everything
you want. How, then, can you tell what you're actively
involved in?
We are more than our minds, more than our thinking
process. We are also more than our feelings and more
than our body. Most people have spent so much time
in either thinking or feeling, they think that a
thought or feel that a feeling is them. To think
you want something or to feel you want something
doesn't necessarily mean that's what you want.
What you want--what you really want---
is what you are making real through action.
If you think you want something but you're not
doing much to get it, you have three choices:
1. You can go on the way you've been: Kidding
yourself and pretending you really want this thing
that you don't really want--or aren't willing to do
the necessary work to get. This causes frustration
("Why can't I have what I want?), hurt ("I never get
what I want"), resentment ("other people get what
they want; why not me?"), and unworthiness ("I guess
I don't really deserve it").
2. Give up the goal. Realize it's nice idea,
and if it were in the next room, you'd probably
go to the next room and partake of it. It is,
however, not something you really want more
than other things you are actively seeking.
3. Do whatever is necessary to reach
the goal. Eliminate from your schedule activities
that support goals with lower priorities than the
one in question. As you move toward your goal,
certain mental, emotional, and physical objections
will be raised. No matter what complaints your
mind, emotions, and body fling at you, if you
know you need to do it, do it anyway. Gently,
lovingly--but firmly--teach the objecting parts
of you that you have a new goal, a new
priority, and that your actions will now be
in alignment with achieving that goal.
Those are your choices. Most people choose
by default--they "Choose" #1 by not choosing,
and things go on as they have in the past.
I suggest you choose from options 2 or 3.
Either will put you more actively in charge
of your thoughts, feelings, and actions
However, I hope you elect to pursue #3.
Please make this Mothers Day a very special day by
Calling or visiting your mom, honor your spouse/partner,
family and friends and make a decision to do something
for your self.
If you are not where you want to be this mothers day
please allow me to help you turn that around.
Before you decide yes or no take a look at what other people just like you are saying about my work.
"Dr. White, this is one of the most profound life lessons I have ever heard -- the energy and TRUTH of the principles you are discussing and revealing here are unlocking the fetters of fear that have for so long shackled me to false paradigms. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Kerry-Mesa, AZ"
"I love you and your passion Dr White. This is the hardest work I've ever done on myself and I am grateful for the depth of it. Rick-Citrus Springs."

Permission To Simply Be
Working Through Transitions
The elation we feel when we have learned an important lesson, achieved a goal, or had a big breakthrough can sometimes be met with a period of downtime afterward. During this period of transition, we may feel unsure and not know where to turn next. Many people, during the pause between achievements, begin to wonder what their life is about. These feelings are common and strike everyone from time to time. Human beings are active creatures—we feel best when we are working on a project or vigorously pursuing a goal. But there is nothing inherently wrong with spending a day, a week, or even a month simply existing and not having a plan. Just be. It won’t be long before you embark upon your next voyage of growth and discovery.
The quiet lull into we which we fall between ideas, projects, and goals can make life seem empty. After accomplishing one objective, you may want to move immediately on to the next. However, when your next step is unclear, you may feel frustrated, disconnected, or even a mild depression. You may even perceive your lack of forward momentum as an indicator of imminent stagnation. To calm these distressing thoughts, try to accept that if your intent is personal growth, you will continue to grow as an individual whether striving for a specific objective or not. Spending time immersed in life’s rigors and pleasures can be a cathartic experience that gives you the time you need to think about what you have recently gone through and leisurely contemplate what you wish to do next. You may also find that in simply being and going through the motions of everyday life, you reconnect with your priorities in a very organic, unforced way.
The mindful transitional pause can take many forms. For some, it can be a period of reflection that helps them understand how their life has unfolded. For others, it can be a period of adjustment, where new values based on recent changes are integrated into daily life. Just because you’re not headed swiftly to a final destination doesn’t mean you should assume that you have lost your drive. The stage between journeys can become a wonderful period of relaxation that prepares you for the path that will soon be revealed to you.

ENJOY!

“Jacob, Our Top Twit” by Jacob Cass
HI, there
A journalist from The Herald (Newcastle’s local newspaper) contacted me earlier this week and asked me a few questions (find below) for an article based on Twitter (follow me). The next day a photographer came around and took a few snaps.
Two days later I went to the Newsagency to pick up the local newspaper to see if my article was out (they didn’t provide me a date) and I was more than surprised to see my mugshot on the front page, I really wasn’t expecting that.
The reason they chose me for the article was because of this Newcastle Top Twitter’s list put together by Gordon Whitehead however they probably should have had used Hugh Jackman as the Twitter poster boy - he has over 133,000 followers.
Anyway, you can see the image of the front page below and then below that, the article itself. There is also a slightly adjusted online version of the article on The Herald website.
Don’t you just love all the puns… “All-A-Twitter”, “Life’s Tweet”, “Finally, it’s OK to be a real twit”, “Jacob, our Top Twit”.
Below are my original replies in response to the questions put forward by the journalist. They only ended up using one quote from these replies but I thought it would be good to share my responses none the less.
Why did you join?
I originally joined Twitter back in June last year however I didn’t start using it properly until a few weeks after I joined as it took me a while to grasp onto the concept… it also took me a while to see the true benefit however I am 100% truly glad that I did, the benefits have been enormous.
For those just starting out with Twitter, I recommend this Ultimate Twitter Guide and this Twitter Resource Guide.
How often do you use Twitter?
Whenever I have something to valuable to share, say or promote which is probably about 5 times a day, maybe 4 days a week, give or take.
What do you use it for?
I use Twitter to find useful information shared by the other Twitter users. I also use Twitter to promote and share my own articles which in turn promotes my services (logo, branding, web and graphic design) thus bringing in potential clients.
How did you get so many followers?
I run three websites including quite a popular design & creativity blog called “Just Creative Design” which gets over 10,000 visits a day. I have built these websites up over the past 15 months which is where a lot of my followers come from, however it is not easy to keep followers…you must ensure that you do not spam, nor be too “me me me”, it’s all about sharing and being authentic and down to earth.
What’s some of the funniest / weirdest / common / uncommon things you’ve found on Twitter?
On Twitter there is a function that allows you to save your favourite tweets and I have got quite a few however rather than sharing all of them I will share the weirdest thing I have found… someone invented a Twitter device that you plug into the soil of a plant… the plant will then Twitter to you when it needs watering. Genius or just plain weird? You decide.
Do you see it having the potential to overtake Facebook or become yet another way to stay in touch?
Facebook and Twitter are both very different social networks originally built for different purposes however Facebook is implementing many changes to take on Twitter, but for now I think Twitter is still stronger in terms of networking, marketing & socialising. Facebook is more for keeping in touch with your “real” friends in my opinion but obviously this can vary from user to user. Twitter users seem to be much more tech savvy.
On a side note, a while back I also wrote an article called “Exposed: Facebook sends more traffic than Twitter” - it isn’t so true for me now but Facebook may work better for you in terms of Traffic.
Why should someone join Twitter..how will it change / enhance their life?
Everyone joins Twitter for different reasons, and before you go tweeting your life away you should establish what and why you are going to be using Twitter. Whatever your passion or interest, there is no doubt going to be someone else tweeting about it and you can join in too… Share your tips and resources and they will share theirs. You really have nothing to lose.
Being Newcastle’s top Twitter is a pretty good achievement, how do you attract your followers and how personal do you get with your posts. Are you worried about revealing too much about yourself to strangers?
I run three popular websites where I write articles mostly focused on design which in turn brings in visitors to my site where I have links to add me on Twitter (such as this). Most of my followers are those interested in design seeing though I am a designer myself but gaining followers all depends on your industry and how you use Twitter. I don’t get too personal with my Tweets as that is not what I am using it for, however I do share my achievements and current work and that is as personal as I get. eg. I may share an article that I am reading online but I don’t share what I am having for dinner.
Who do u follow on Twitter?
I follow over 11,000+ people so that would be quite a huge list, but I make use of the application called Tweetdeck (highly recommended) and in this application you can make “groups” so you can choose a select few that you really want to follow. This allows you to filter out the noise of the other 11,000+ people you are following.
Don’t forget to follow me. Also add yourself to this uber list of designers / creatives / geeks to follow on twitter if applicable.
Enjoy!
Twitter can enhanced your life:))
Sincerely,
Margarita Nomeikiene
