I Am Curious George<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What a fascinating world we live in now.<\/span>
\nCertainly these are interesting times.<\/span>
\nIt is\u00a0a marvel of technology, cell phones, iPads, notebooks, laptops, computers and flatscreens.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does it all work?<\/span>
\nWhat about all of these people and things I have to deal with?<\/span>
\nHow do I keep balanced and focused in a healthy way?<\/span>
\nHow do I find a job, a relationship and a place to live.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I handle all of the emails, text messages, phone calls, videos, movies, magazines, newspapers, advertisements and demands that I receive every day in this technology and information age?<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Have you noticed that\u00a0you learn mostly from the example of those around you?
\n<\/span><\/span>By the age of three you are already programmed with your basic patterns of behavior.<\/span>
\nThe people and environments that you spend your time with greatly impact your quality of life.<\/span>
\nIt is monkey see, monkey do.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Look around you and observe the people in your life.<\/span>
\nWhat do they think, feel, say and do?
\n<\/span>What are their values and level of health, joy and fulfillment?<\/span>\u00a0
\n<\/span><\/div>\n

\nDo you notice that most people complain a great deal about many aspects of their lives?<\/span>
\nHow often do the people you spend time with complain about their health, finances, relationships,<\/span>
\nfamilies, homes, cars, jobs, businesses, past or future?\u00a0 Now tell the truth, how often do you complain about these things in your life?<\/span><\/div>\n


\nWhen you look at the way of the world around you, how much time and energy do people invest into complaining?The truth is that complaining ruins your life.\u00a0 It is a negative use of your creative energy.<\/span>
\nWhat happens when you focus your energy and attention on complaining and negative things?<\/span>
\nWhat do you attract?<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a good look and let it in.\u00a0 Just observe what\u00a0 is happening.<\/span>
\nNow you can see clearly why you feel the way you feel and why you have the results you have in your life.\u00a0 So if you want to shift your reality and outcomes then you must stop complaining and stop the negative self-talk.\u00a0 Focus your thoughts, words, feelings and actions on positive things.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most important, notice how much of life you resist.
\n<\/em>This is a huge waste of your energy and source of your challenges, because what you resist, persists.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you can let life be the way it is, let yourself be the way you are, let others be the way they are and let the world and circumstances be the way they are, you come into the present moment.
\nThe present moment can only be the way it is. When you allow life to be the way it is, magic happens.
\nPeople feel comfortable around you, you feel comfortable around you.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nWhat would happen if you allow yourself to experiment with this information and check out what you do and what people around you do and just observe life without judgment.\u00a0
\nDiscover your own truth and see what happens.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Something wonderful\u00a0 might happen….<\/span><\/div>\n
