Lately, it seems that one can vacillate between distractions that are gruesomely terrifying, or focusing on the antics of a (possibly) over-paid (Winning! [Charlie Sheen]) actor that seems to have found his true niche in ranting and raving about the inane blunders of those around him.  This contrast is remarkable to me.  In the world of Law of Attraction, we hear the discussion of "contrast" all day and night. That we have "come here" to experience the wonders of contrast and thus expansion.  Sounds good enough.  Personally, after watching the horrific clashes between Tibetan protesters, the melt-down in Libya, shucks! call it the bulk of the Maghreb region, and the bombastic antics of a really funny comedian, I have to admit that I prefer to focus my attention right now on the latter rather than the former examples of LOA in action. Vibrationally it just feels better.  I can already sense the bristling from the back row as they prepare to accuse me of "not caring" about substantive issues, given my seemingly-pathological-curiosity with all things in the Winning Movement of Mr. Sheen.  Sure he can be sloughed off as an overpaid cry baby. But when it comes to creating his own reality; Charlie has this stuff down!  Who else could possibly get two of his girlfriends (ehem) I mean, "goddesses" to go on holiday with not only the ex-wife but also another porn star? Does this make him a poster boy for morality? Nope. But he never aspired to that anyway...so the point is moot.
My husband and I went to see some stand-up comedy and the Improv in Los Angeles a few of weeks ago (before the Sheen meltdown began) and one of the comedians went on to explain in great detail to the audience how Sheen was the only guy on the planet that could get away with all that he has gotten away with.  I scratched my head...glanced at my handsome hubby and we both nodded in agreement that indeed, Charlie was on a role!  Now is Charlie Sheen Bi-Polar? I can't offer that diagnosis, it isn't my place.  Is he riding a tsunami of mania on a longboard? Perhaps (again, its not my place to make such a call) but what Charlie IS doing is NOT going out without maximum effort.  He knows what he wants: to be recognized for his (many) talents, and to be paid A LOT of money for the rest of us to bask in his brilliant sun beam of specialness.  Sounds enticing really.  But what does this have to do with all of us and this blog post? The point is that what we focus on, and HOW we focus on it is everything.   We can either see Charlie as a delusional such-and-such, or we can see that this guy has so embraced the essence of "winning" that he can't seem to say anything else!  Regardless, if the exuberance that Charlie seems to possess in excess (to which you may say it is all drug induced--and maybe it is/was) could be tapped into by the rest of us, then maybe we would all feel as though we are on the wave ride of manifesting what WE want (the happiness, the perfect-sexy spouse, the family, the career, the wonderful health) then a lot of movement would be made.  So, I am not suggesting that we mimic Charlie, by all means, NO! don't do that, but at least give him some credit for creating his own reality (no matter how sordid, narcissistic, or decadent we may believe it to be) and embrace his "thing" as one guy insisting on continuing to create the life he wants. Now whether he wants to live in a locked down private facility with Dr. Drew is another story. But personally, I am going to look at the bright side. Naturally!
