An example

David Beckham who is a very well know soccer (football player) was attempting to play in his 4th World Cup this summer in South Africa. The world cup s held every four years, so not many player are able to do this at the top levels of the sport. It seemed like he would be chosen to play for England which has to name their 23 players in a couple of months

On Saturday March 13th, he gave an interview and stated "I'm not guaranteed to go to South Africa at all. I have to work hard and then, hopefully, win my place. There are a good few months left in the season and plenty of games to play but, hopefully, I can carry on playing well and can get in the squad."

Does there feel some doubt or lack of confidence about going to the world cup in his mind, especially if he were to add meaning to the fact he was left on the bench or didn't get to play in the prior week?

On March 14th, he was playing for his Italian team, playing a regular game. He was ready to take a free kick, with no other players near him and felt a pop. He had torn his LEFT achilles tendon and had to undergo surgery, and will now miss the World Cup.

He now knows he will not play, compared to before when he was waiting to be selected.

Is this a coincidence or did he unconsciously create this situation to avoid potential rejection?

Is there anything you can learn from an example like this? Is rejection at our lesser everyday level in life so bad? Or are we attaching a meaning to it and a story?

Frustration

I was recently in Los Angeles and brought my navigational system with me for an easy time driving. I even plugged in the addresses of each place I had to be ahead of time, organized chap that I am!

Leaving from the airport to downtown, the ladies voice on the navigation system directed me away from the highway and to some back roads,to areas I had never seen before. I could understand this as the highways are usually blocked in LA. I was in no rush so I went with the flow, traffic lights and all, and I did get to my hotel.

A couple of days later I was headed back to the airport for a meeting and took the highway to get there without any problems. Coming back from the airport at night though, the ladies voice was sending me back on the long route with traffic lights. After I twigged what was going on, I turned back, but no she wasn't having it, every time I turned, she found a way to turn me back to her route. I'm shouting at the contraption, no I'm going the highway and I was getting frustrated at it.

It may have been my imagination, okay it was my imagination, the ladies voice was getting frustrated too, maybe even slightly raised. How dare she! As I later reflected  on all of this, I realized that when we are in the negative emotions, our mind plays tricks on us, we imagine a lot that is not there, but what we feel should be there under the circumstances and what we experienced in the past.

So keep that in mind when you accuse someone of doing and they maintain they didn't, they most likely are being truthful, especially if you are in that emotional state!

After driving around in circles for a few times, I realized in order to change from frustration to ease, I must change something that I have been doing that created the situation. In this case it was easy, instead of turning left, which I had kept doing and got frustrated, I took a right turn and kept going, the machine caught on and recalculated the route and I hit the 710 with light traffic and no traffic lights!

Some people strive to avoid the negative emotions and get very upset when they fail, and especially get upset when their kids are in those negative emotions. Were you ever told or do you say, "don't you get angry with me?!" Oh you too!.

Yet for people living a normal human life, you will be in those negative emotions on a regular basis, it's normal and it's human. The difference is how long we stay there, I was in and out in 20 minutes. It may take you less or more time, whatever you do make sure it doesn't go beyond the day.

It's very simple, to get out of it you must do, think or be something different than you were or doing before. I took a right instead of a left.

At peace

Is it bad karma to....?

This question has been coming up a lot recently, pertaining to housing and those who find themselves under water. That is their mortgage is significantly below the value of the home. This is very prevalent in California, Florida, Arizona and Vegas where the value of the home has dropped by as much as 75% from the peak.

The question is, is it bad karma to just walk away? The general answer to that is no. However there is a lot to consider here, your credit, connection with the home and in different states there are legal repercussions, where you can be sued and liable for any difference between the mortgage balance and the eventual sales price. Banks seem to be prefer the short sale scenario at the moment and in many cases the shortfall is disposed of that way.

However what ever you decide to you, it is imperative that you consult with an attorney in your state, who is familiar with the many changes and the law that are going on. If this is not handled properly then it will cost a great amount of money.

Karma is not really a word I personally use, I prefer vibration or cause and effect. For example if you have active in your energy or vibration, deceit, then you take that where ever you go and the logical effect is getting deceived. Likewise with stealing, being happy, being angry.

Getting back to the housing part of this, the reality is that prices have fallen and are still falling in most places. Like the banks who give up properties, or hotels who turn the property back to the lender, the do so as a business decision, it doesn't make sense for them to continue in this situation. There is no shame, it just didn't work out, they are not a failure, the business transaction failed. A very important difference.

Now where the karma, vibration what ever you want to call it becomes an issue, at least from my perspective and most definitely legally, is when some one commits fraud, income or appraisal wise. That is what is active and you can expect some repercussions as a result.

Bottom line is, speak with a qualified lawyer first before you do anything. 

Why? It's just for the fun of it!
