Your True Power

 Here are some random insights today inspired by Eckhart Tolle

Your true power as a human = the power of your attention

There are 2 main things you can focus your attention on in life:

1)    Your story and/or

2)    The process of living

Your story = A) Your life situation

                     B) Your history

                     C) Your imagined future

  D) The character that you imagine yourself to be in your

       Story

The process if living = Only what is happening right now in this

                                    Moment

In my experience, the quality of your life experience is determined by what percentage of your attention you put on each category in any given moment.

Simply by shifting your attention more to one or the other will have drastic effects in your experience of life.

In my experience, happiness and peace are the results of making the process of living the primary focus in any given moment.

If you’re stressing out, maybe you’re taking your story a little too seriously. Simply by putting more attention on the process of living (only on what’s happening right now) you can immediately change your experience and you might end up laughing at yourself!

If you try this and find out that it works for you, a next step might be to begin developing a habit of making the process of living your primary focus.

All Together

 People of the world are marching

 Shouting out for true change

 Smell the sweat, feel the hunger

 Time is now we got to rearrange

Chorus:

 We’re gonna get it all together

 We’re gonna turn it all around

 We’re gonna get it all together

 Growing loud can you hear the sound?

 People of the world are angry

 Speaking out telling the truth

 Breathe in the air rich with fervor

 Taste the freedom if we only choose

Chorus:

 We’re gonna get it all together

 We’re gonna turn it all around

 We’re gonna get it all together

 Growing loud can you hear the sound?

Here’s the song I wrote today inspired by the occupy the FED and occupy wallstreet movements

Little Bit Wiser

© 2011 Andy Harrison 

We’re out on the Pavement

We’re out in the crowd

You can hear us shouting

Sound’s growing loud

We smell the anger

We feel the discontent

Hungry for truth

And our message to be sent

Chorus:

We’re doing alright

We’re doing O.K.

A little bit wiser than yesterday

Now we see where we went wrong

Won’t turn the same way

A little bit wiser than yesterday

We’ve been blinded for too long

Couldn’t see what is real

Hear the lies from the T.V.

While crooks pillage and steal

We smell the fear in the people

But feel a hope that’s brand new

A small taste of true freedom

From what we can do

Chorus:

We’re doing alright

We’re doing O.K.

A little bit wiser than yesterday

Now we see where we went wrong

Won’t turn the same way

A little bit wiser than yesterday

Here’s the song I wrote today:

The Bridge Between Bliss

© Andy Harrison 2011

Maybe I think too much

Maybe I don’t let go

Maybe I feel too stressed

Maybe I just don’t know

Maybe I want too much

Or maybe not enough

Maybe I try too hard

Maybe it’s not that tough

Chorus:

I’m looking for answers

I’m looking for clues

The bridge between bliss

And all we do

Where I’m headed

And where I’ll get to

The bridge between bliss

And all we do

Maybe I’m frightened

Or just a little unsure

Maybe I hold back

Maybe I should give more

Maybe I’m damaged

And someone’s to blame

Maybe the questions

Keep me searching in vain

Chorus:

I’m looking for answers

I’m looking for clues

The bridge between bliss

And all we do

Where I’m headed

And where I’ll get to

The bridge between bliss

And all we do
