Greetings,

I was just sitting here doing my morning routine of a Thankful list, Sending love to myself and to other people. Then I picked up "The Mentor In Me" book and started reading the first chapter again. The chapter is called Animal. Sounds odd but when you read the chapter you totally understand what the author,William Todd, is speaking of.

You see this book is about 7 levels of awareness that will bring you to a place of understanding of yourself and when you do that  you then have a choice of what to do about it.  The blame game stops, you now take responsibility for the results you are getting in life.

Back to the first chapter. This speaks of react or respond. We all have an animalistic behavior that when faced with a threatening situation and that is to fight or flight and Dennis as he  works with the horses, likes to add freeze.  In this book, William speaks of learning to respond instead of react to situations is the first step to achieving sustainable success in all areas of your life. 

So this morning I was thinking around at all my personal Santa land I have created for this season and it brought my mind to the season of what people are doing that they normally wouldn't be doing in other times of year!  What is that? Well, lets list the shift, change in focus of life here for the next 30 days. 

Let's look at what you might be doing "more of" for the next 30 days. Connecting with people in many ways  that leads to  more shopping, more spending, more organization, more cleaning, more travel, more decisions, more shopping, more traveling,  That's a lot of mores just as we connect with people through dinners, parties, meetings for all gatherings.

Now, my question to you my friend, whom I know you would like to look at that one sentence and say, I am so thankful that I get to do all those things, it will bring meaning and peace to all who are effected by it.  Now, I know that, that is most likely not what your mind was thinking as you read all the mores!  Your mind probably got tired and started to race off of all the what if's, why's, oh no's, how can, do I have too??  

Let's bring some good cheer to you and I am here to tell you that you can respond instead of react to all the mores and any situation you face.  Here is the Key!! It is your choice what you do.  You  will benefit greatly by taking control of yourself, not others and you choose through your brilliant attitude that you are not going to let situations control, so that you air on the side of responding  instead of react. 

  How do you do that? Great questions, start now with a thankful attitude, look around you and start being thankful for what you already  have  and then be thankful for the peace that is going to be in all situations that is going to come. Be thankful as you shop for the store, the selection, the clerks. Making decisions of where to shop, who to invite, how to get there  will give you a sense of direction. Thankful this season is requiring cleaning that has been left undone, thankful for the organization that is required for functions, you get the picture.  Turn the UGHH into being thankful for and finding the benefits of peace, purpose and meaning for a new season.

In Thankfulness,
Cindy  

 Hay, Mustang CC's Serenity here,

Yes, I am the other brother, the brother to Mustang Brilliant Attitude. He was on Ride TV last night. Now, understand I am happy for him or atleast that is what I am suppose to be feeling.
You know, one in the lime light and the other just hanging out in the barn! Did  you see I was tied to him yesterday where I was getting my lessons in leading, turning, stopping from him.
WOW, talk about wanting to throw up! Well, horses don't throw up but you get my message.
The other brother who is fairest of them all.  Oh, gosh I am to have a good attitude which gives me my serenity, so I will need to change my thoughts here...

You know life circumstances can throw a lot our way but we don't have to choose to grab them  and take ahold of what is going on around us or even going on to us.  We have a choice to choose. If you haven't watched the video of my brother giving me some teaching training moments, go watch on Brilliant Attitude Attraction FB page.  I would resist but no need to fight it and make matters worse. There are some things you have no control over and you can't do anything about it anyways. So don't give yourself a headache, choose a peaceful brilliant attitude to go on with.  

I ask you, what kind of attitude are you going through life with?  

Your attitude is everything. It is a manifestation of your thoughts, feelings that lead to your actions. So what are your thoughts? How are you feeling? You either "Think"your way through life don't let life think for you and talk about a scary ride that would be!! 

Not feeling so good, sit down and write a thankful list or just start going through your mind of things you are thankful for and why. I know Cindy does that a lot and then she sends love to everyone everywhere, WHOA that is a big one and deserves its own blog, but not today!  She  says this puts her mind in serenity and that helps to lead to a brilliant attitude. That is one of the many things she does to assist in a good attitude that she always strives for.

So, its your turn to take a deep breath and breathe in the goodness of love, peace, wisdom, energy, healing and out with the anxiety, worry and doubt.  Be of one mind and that is the mind of a brilliant attitude that will give you the peace beyond understanding regardless of what is going on in your life. It truly is your choice.  Choice Serenity!

I am honored and thankful you stopped by to read what I had to share with you today.
Sending you love my friend and have a fabulous brilliant attitude day, Remember, you choose!

CC's Serenity and Cindy

Read this affirmation, write it and carry with you. When needed pull out and read to fill your mind with Serenity.

The first day with CC's Serenity,

Click“ That moment the moment when it comes together, it clicks it connects you feel the surge of power from the source. The heart opens and the pure most unadulterated magic happens. You feel it, you see it  overcomes you as if to say your mine you belong here, in this big world at this moment this very moment everything else disappears, you come-on completely lost in the moment you hear, see nothing of the outside world but everything from within as this magical power has overtaken your natural senses.
 
You have become one to one, heart to heart you speak through the transfer of energy that flows to in and through you. What is happening, I have not felt this way before? When I looked into the eyes of this beautiful teacher of life - The Wild Mustang. Yes, it is a horse but not just a horse. A pure horse untouched by human limitations of themselves.  This horse has its purity intact, his heart, his awareness, his potential is waiting to connect with the one who can leave it in tact, understand it so that the beauty of a relationship can flow, unity in harmony to create and express life at its fullest. 
 
How did this happen? I have been around mustangs before but never with a true understanding of myself.  OMG it’s me that has changed perception of the mustang. I see him now through my eyes of having released my own life’s limitations.  I see him now through clearer eyes than ever before.  Eyes of a little girl who only ever wanted to be loved and accepted for only life to tell her she didn’t have what it takes. You have made too many wrong choices, you don’t look right, you don’t talk correctly and on and on to where she believed it and she was driven from that state of programming in her heart, her sub conscious.
 
But, now years later her discovered journey of her beliefs of herself have started to shift.  One of taking control and responsible to create the life that she has dreamed of.  To stand up for herself, find the respect and worth of good she deserves.  She has to wait on no one but herself to make it happen. Through continuous discoveries being willing to take the hidden secret layers of protected life off. She now sees life as it was intended, beautiful, joyful, delightful with a consciousness of oneness with my creator, spirit to spirit.
 
I believed before, why couldn’t I feel it? I believe in God his goodness and grace, but it was his creation that captures the true essence of oneness, that connection we are who he says we are, lovely, strong, wise, without limitations of potential, peacefulness.
 
That is what happened when I saw Brilliant Attitude II, now named CC’s Serenity. OMG it was moving. I just wanted to get lost in it, I wanted to wrap myself up in it, it feel protective, warm, kind, but yet so empowering all at the same time. I am in love for the first time truly with myself and understanding who God created me to be, how he wants it for everyone to connection.  To find that sweet spot of serenity where two really 3 hearts meet to create exuberant emotion that draws you closer to the source.
 
A spot where my heart and head come into agreement, they are connected linked together in the way it was designed to be.
 
The outside drifts away, you only hear the music of the thought transfer of you are loved, you are accepted. Let’s journey together to the oneness to make greatness. It’s not about anyone but you and me. They will be affected by the vibrations that flow from the magic that is happening.
 
When the music fades away, it is the pure true unaltered heart that beats to a rhythm that makes you come alive, to create your own –
 
Formally now CC’s Serenity and I will dance together, my trusted   friend as you let me see in myself though your purity what I have so longed for. No one can do it for you – it’s your own to create and to capture”. 
 
From our hearts to yours,
 CC and Cindy
