What’s Nagging Us?

Leave a comment

The problem is you were meant for growth and you’re not growing.  – Vernon Howard

missing

We don’t feel we’re in control of our own destiny and happiness. Something is amiss, what is it? What are we lacking?

grow

Change is ever present. And growth is the very hallmark of life and the universe. If we don’t grow mentally and spiritually we stagnate and something deep inside us, our soul, feels the discontent. The ego senses that same discontent. The way around it is to actively seek growth and not get used to living in our comfort zone. Meaningful growth then is the key to banishing this feeling!

Be Happy…

Leave a comment

Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you’re off the hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they’re doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel — and then, you’ll love them all. Because the only reason you don’t love them, is because you’re using them as your excuse to not feel good. – Abraham

me

How To Feel Better!

You are beautiful.  – Neale Donald Walsch

beautiful?

Whenever we’re feeling blue chances are that we’re not enjoying healthy self-esteem. We don’t think we count for much. To feel better we compare our lot with others. This strategy never works.

valuable

Instead let us realize that we’re unique creations of the divine. In all of time and all of space no one like us has ever appeared or ever will be created. Let’s celebrate this astounding gift and enjoy it daily!

How To Reach Personal Bliss!

Leave a comment

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then … make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.  – Deepak Chopra

up to us

Our happiness, fulfillment and destiny are truly in our own hands. If there’s one essential lesson we must learn during this lifetime, it is this. We must look within for all answers and resolutions… we may blame others at the peril of our own well-being.

equanimity

If we watch our thoughts we’ll notice our constant need to control others, get approval for what we do and how we look and a penchant to decide who or what is good and bad. Equanimity of thought is key to equanimity of mind!
