Simple Truths Not So Simple To Swallow

What you don't like in someone else, is what you refuse to see in your self.

No one is bothering you. You are bothered by them.

The world doesn't owe you a thing. Your world is as happy or as miserable as you decide you want it to be.

You don't have the right to expect others to change. But you can change who you choose to have relationships with.

You can't expect others to like you, when you don't even like you.

You alone are responsible for your own happiness. If you're not happy, its because you're not thinking happy thoughts.

You're dysfunctional relationships, are simply manifestations of the dysfunctional relationship you have with your self.

Analyze you, before you analyze others.

If you have any hate for others in your heart, then you still don't understand that we are all connected.

This life is but a blink of an eye, in the grand scheme of the universes.

If you don't learn to control the direction of your thoughts, your living by default, and have not yet mastered the art of deliberate creating....

You Were Born Free, You Will Die Free-Will You Live Free?

Each one of us was born free. As newborn infants we were void of attachments to ideas. Our mind was our own, and we did with it what we pleased. Completely detached from thoughts, our beings felt free to express whatever it was we tiny beings needed to. We did what felt natural and what was instinctive. We laughed and we cried when we wanted to. And we opened our eyes and closed them according to our own will, unconcerned with the opinions, needs or wants of others.

Each one of us will also die. And in the moment our physical body ceases to be able to sustain our bodily functions, we shall once again be free. We will leave this realm detached from any form of conditioned societal, familial, religious or governmental programming. It is a fact. No one expects anything from us in the moments we are born, or in the moments we die.

The key to living a joyous experience, is found in learning how to live freely, detached from dysfunctional programming. Imagine if the world around you continued treating you as if in every moment you were still being born, or taking your last breaths. How would you think your parents, spouses, siblings, friends, or religious leaders would treat you? How would you treat you?

When infants are born, or when people are dying, the world around them leaves them alone, and stops expecting them to be something they are not. We never feel more accepted by others or of by our selves than in the moments we are born, and in the moments we are dying. The key to happiness however, is found in learning to find that acceptance right where you are, now!

Learning To Accept You

It is impossible to respect others if you do not respect yourself. Begin learning to accept you, by practicing self love, self responsibility, and self reliance. Commit to honoring your self by telling your truth. Be responsible for your own finances and well being. Stop blaming others for your downfalls or misfortunes.

Be Honest

Tell the truth even when it hurts others. You're truest responsibility is to your self.

Be Kind

Practice being kind to others, but especially to your self.

Be Easy

Stop judging others, and others will stop judging you, and eventually you'll stop judging your self.

Try to remember what it felt like the moment you were born.

Where Your Attention Goes Energy Flows

So what's going on with you these days? Are you depressed or happy? Are you doing well in business, or losing your shirt? Are your relationships harmonious, or are they draining?

Wherever you focus your attention, your energy is flowing in that direction. Energy makes whatever it touches grow. So, if your focus is usually upon negative things rather than positive things, know that your attention to the very thing you don't want in your life, has no choice but to expand.

If you change the way you look at your world, the world changes. Focusing on things that only make you feel worse will in no way ever make you feel better. No matter who you are, if you are breathing there is something you can be happy about. The sun always comes up tomorrow, and the world continues to spin, without checking with you first.

If you pay more attention to the things you don't like about someone opposed to pondering upon the things you do like about someone, by the law of attraction, and of course good old common sense, momentum of thought alone will cause your negativity towards that someone to grow. In time, if this thinking is not altered, a pattern of negative thought will have been ingrained within your mindset, and a habit of thought will have formed, which will ultimately cement itself in your mind as a belief. Once a belief has been learned, it is very difficult to change, although it can be done.

Learning how to steer your mind is the most important work you can do. Here are some things you can try to help you figure out what your paying attention to, so you can begin directing where your energy flows.


Journaling; Through journaling of thoughts, one learns to observe ones own belief system.

Meditation; Meditation helps clear negative thoughts.

Learning: Reading self help books that teach how to uncover faulty belief systems helps us learn about why we do what we do, and how we can change our minds for the better.

Without knowing what we think, it is hard to decide if what we think, we want to think. When we learn to think what we want to think, we finally harness the secrets to the universe, through the deliberate creating of our desired realities.
