We cannot see above our own present level. – Vernon Howard
Our ‘present level’ consists of our current beliefs, assumptions, perspectives and certainties. We’re unable to see beyond our level. Unless we choose to…
A simple attitude adjustment can fix this. All we have to do is decide to open up. And that intention alone does wonders! Let’s try it!

If we’re going to find our way back to each other vulnerability is going to be that path. – Brene Brown
On Tuesday I shared some thoughts on Brene Brown and her talk on vulnerability. Here’s her next TED video which delves deeper into vulnerability by tackling ‘shame’ head-on! Real good stuff. Forces us to become more real, with self and others, check it out!
According to Brene Brown guilt is ‘I did something bad. I made a mistake.’ While shame is ‘I am bad. I am a mistake.’ Women most often feel shame when they cannot do it all or can’t do it perfectly. Men feel shame when they think ‘I am weak’. It’s important to recognize shame when we experience it so that we don’t brush it aside. It pays to shine a light into a dark corner inside us. Because then we can be more human, more vulnerable and therefore more lovable and loving…

When your beliefs match your desires then your desires must become reality. – Abraham
Most of us are not quite sure if the Law of Attraction works or if it works 100% of the time. The stuff of the Universe comes from thought and we are the wards of the Eternal. Our thoughts have immense power. What we see happening around us, the good and the bad, is directly or indirectly caused collectively by us. Whether we can consciously use the Law of Attraction to our ‘advantage’ really depends on what deep assumptions and beliefs we hold. If we want great relationships but deep down don’t think we’re worthy enough to have them, then such relationships won’t be showing up for us.
We have a great responsibility on our shoulders. If we don’t want more of what the world is experiencing right now then we must choose our thoughts with care. We ought to target our desires to match with those of the Universe. This ensures that our entire world moves forward in way that benefits everyone and not just some of us. This also ensures that we live a more fulfilling life i.e. our ‘Life Purpose’!

Let ourselves be seen.
Love with our whole hearts.
Practice gratitude, lean into joy.
I am enough.
A Facebook friend shared this amazing TED video with me. Brene a social researcher discovered that to live deeply we must become more vulnerable. Watch the video and share your thoughts!
By becoming more open and vulnerable, we become more real to self and to others. We expose our humanity. This allows us to love more deeply. When we love in that fashion we experience a joy that’s uncommon and we become naturally thankful for all that we are and have. Then it’s clear that we are loved and enough just the way we are…

Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude. – Dale Carnegie

Worrying is a waste of energy. It serves no good purpose. How can we stop investing in this losing proposition?

3rd Basic Technique to ‘Break the Worry Habit Before it Breaks You’ : Use the law of averages to outlaw your worries.
Objectively figure out the chances that something will go wrong. As an example the odds of our dying in a 1 hour flight are less than 1 in 1,000,000! Similarly the odds of something else going wrong are not super high. Let’s not dwell on what may go wrong. That’s energy misspent! Let’s deploy the ‘Law of Averages’!

Set your mind at work to solve its problems; teach your intellect to work for you; refuse longer to be dominated by fear like an unthinking animal. – Urantia Papers
We get lost in the daily conduct of life. And we get used to a sub-standard way of living. Sub-standard because we’re not always enjoying healthy relationships and may not be as happy as we can be. We’re worried about our future and fear Life itself. Let’s stop and observe this situation.
Our mind is the reason we’re happy or not. We are the intelligence behind our intellect. It’s time we asserted control over our own minds! Let’s choose our own thoughts and not allow those that don’t serve us. Let’s be the divine children we are and flourish daily!
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM asserting control over self!
