Tell me something about yourself

[The One]

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important then the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people may act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.

Henry Ford said it another way, "If you think you can or you think you can't, you are probably right."

It occurred to me the other day that I probably spend more time conversing with the wonderful readers of this forum than I do with people in my real life. Every morning I wake up to a bunch of great comments on this forum and a gentle stream of emails and more comments throughout the day. How weird yet wonderful it is to share in these daily discussions yet know so little about who we’re conversing with.
This is one of the great things about sharing in an interest online, whether it be Spiritual.Ufo’s Conspiracies. It brings people together who might not ordinarily get a chance to meet, or would not normally associate with each other, and I’m a big fan of that. People of different ages, nationalities, and interests, uniting under something as random as this forum.

So come on jump on board the bus.But remember this bus is not stopping

On this site, I'm a closet sports nut. Only a few here really know that (until now, lol), and they like to tease me about it. I run my own sports message board like this one, I spend my weekend holed up in my office with my tv and beer, screaming at the top of my lungs. Everyone does their best to avoid me

I work in a professional capacity..recruiting professors for a major university.

People I work with have often said directly to me: "You are the single nicest man I have ever met".

I don't know if that is true...but I am told this too often not to think I must be pretty nice If anyone ever needs a sympathetic ear about anything...please PM me. I'd be happy to support you in whatever way I can.

Thanks 'The One'

I agree, our attitude and observation of such, is the most single important part of us, or our 'energy' We are in a continual flow and coming from variable sources, it can often be difficult to navigate through.

We have little to no control of anything else and if our own 'energy' or balance (headspace) is not observed on a moment by moment basis then we can easily fall into a reactive mode and 'balance' can fly out the window at the speed of light.

It helps greatly to stay grounded and balanced when we choose what we think about, who we associate with, their energy, their reactive dispostions. their view of things...As I say to my daughters, choose your friends wisely, think about what your thinking and take time to make sure it is a 'heart' choice and not a influenced 'head' choice.

At 46 years I am so much better at doing this and 'see' the results of a heart influenced attitude. Old programmes can still play their hand but they get sorted quick smart without the 'pain' and enduring of the 'corrupt software' and understanding that most reactions come from others and often have nothing to do with you (taking things personally) If that makes sense to those reading this...It does to me.

I'm still a work in progress.

I really like this topic because recently I had someone break into my car and steal some paper products (yep - they got the "costco" sized tp, paper towels and some garbage bags), but the changes in my attitude have really helped me get through it a lot faster. It took me a couple of days to find real balance and peace with the situation. However, now I can say, I had a good week, but some bad stuff happened - w/out it sounding like a lie. Because last week was really a great week, except that I had to waste time and money because someone decided to use the "five-finger discount".

I am also one of the nicest, sweetest people you'll ever meet. And at my high school reunion, my old friends were glad that I hadn't changed a bit!

This is such a nice synchronicity, The One I lived with these same thoughts for the last weeks, thinking about how to include more of our 3D life within these Avalon conversations.
I decided to do just that, myself. And see what happened....some of us are piciking up on this...if you observe well and now you introduce the same request, The One.
That's really wonderful, I guess I am talented in creating space for things to happen, to transform and be refreshed, updated. I am not very fond of routine as a habit. The value of sharing our human beingness more here in the Forum is, that it's making us more human. Sometimes hiding behind a PC screen can strip off the human side a bit, don't you think? Also the convenience of non-commitment can be a frustration, in conversing online, I think. Not that I am complaining here, on the contrary But, as it's a non physical communication, we can compensate that by telling each other about our attitude, in life, how we feel, the details of our home, whatever.....this way there's more sense of us living in a physical reality.
What can I tell about myself? I recently introduced myself....my life in 3D, today I choose to share my wonder and amazement in finding so much synchronicities, everywhere.
All is being cared for, or so it seems. I live with an open heart and know there is nothing to be afraid of, only reasons to love more I love you all very much, Avaloneans
There's really no end to love, no limits, cause it's source never ceases to exist.

[Arpheus]

Just a loner trying to make a difference out there with my simple but happy life,i am thankful i found avalon it really helped me find my own balance,when you cant talk most of the topics we discuss here with ordinary people most of the time without em thinking you should be in a mental hospital LOL.try finding someone of the opposite sex who thinks likewise now that be a real miracle coming into fruition ,i am glad i can be here and talk with all of you like we are the normal people out there HAH.

[Celine]

part of the norm?

count me out...

[Dale]

Well, this sounds fun.

Something about me - I play bass, a bit of violin, and some guitar. Since around 2008, I've been playing bass for several bands; touring and whatnot. When I'm not doing that, I put my education to work. I am employed by a college in the main library; although, as of yesterday morning, I was offered a much more interesting position with a few colleagues. Quite an odd combination of interests, I'd suppose! I studied English and psychology, and have been pursuing graduate work in the latter field. A bit of humor; I've been enrolled at a college of some kind since my junior year in high school.

In the bits of free time I have in between, I enjoy reading, writing, and gardening. I've read, at the rate of one book per week, since I was in high school; which is sort of neat, I suppose.

My words of advice: Know who you are, or someone else will be more than glad to fill in the blanks.
