				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I was smashing all my rock albums to pieces on the driveway, thinking I was doing what God wanted me to do, I felt good about myself. I mean who doesn’t want to please God?!  At least that’s what I was shamed into thinking would make me a better person. The pastor of the church my family went to every Sunday &amp; Wednesday got up on the stage, strutted around and sometimes slammed his fists on the pulpit, telling and sometimes even demanding that we should do what he says or we are going to hell.  So if smashing rock albums, even though they made me happy every time I listened to them, kept me from going to hell, it seemed at the time and age of 13 like an easy thing to give up.</p>
<p>I didn’t realize how ridiculous it all was.  I mean really, does it make any sense that if you listen to music that’s not approved by the church; you are going to hell… crazy!  I now understand how we let ourselves get programmed by “authority figures” that are supposed to know what’s good for us!   Who can determine what is good, right and just for each individual person?  I believe the only person who has the one true say and is the authority over us all, is us!  We as individuals are the only ones who know what is right for us and how we should live this life.</p>
<p>Somewhere a long time ago, someone who people looked up too, thought the masses needed to be controlled with a set of rules.  They must have thought and believed; we know what’s best for all people.  So they made rules that if you followed them, you are considered “good” if you don’t you are “bad” and we as a human race bought into what they were saying.   Because of the fear of not doing what is supposedly right and doing what is supposedly wrong, we were/are pressured into believing what the “authorities” say and because of that, we somehow lost our inner guide to control our own lives.</p>
<p>We give our power away when we let anyone decide for us. We are all a part of God and equally capable of deciding what is right or not right for us, we just need to be reminded of that fact, which is why I wrote this blog.  I feel it’s important for everyone to understand that there is religion, inspiration, positive energy and love in all areas of life, especially music. We just need to open our minds to see it and the more we can do that, the better all our lives will become.</p>
<p>I grew up Catholic until I was about nine, then Baptist for a few years and ended off my teenage years, Pentecostal. After growing up in different Christian faiths, then experiencing life as an adult, I came to the conclusion that religion just isn’t for me.  I don’t think there is anything wrong with being religious and I do respect most all religions.  I just don’t believe that any religion has come up with the only one true way to know God and I personally believe, there are many.</p>
<div>
<p><strong>Thank God</strong>, most of us have freedom to choose which way is best for each of us.  You just have to follow what feels right to you, and not make choice’s because of what anyone else says is right, wrong or the best way.  The only best way for us all is the way that works for you and you are the only one who can decide what that is.  <em><strong>What are your thoughts?</strong></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Rock your happiness&#8230; it&#8217;s the only way to roll.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">   Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness are some of the greatest words ever written. So great, that they were made our natural rights. The words are simple and easy to understand, but the meaning behind them has been misunderstood and lost for more than 200 years. That is a long time to try and figure out how to be happy. Instead, our pursuit for most of us, has led us to become in debt, depressed, and fat. It&#8217;s time to end this chase of happiness and truly be happy.</p>
<p align="left">Ironically, the happiness part, has been a depressing issue, with over twenty seven million Americans taking some kind of &#8220;happy pill.&#8221; The crazy thing is, that those are just the over the counter prescription drugs. Take into account all the other ways we try to fill our void of happiness, like… drinking, smoking, shopping, gambling, relationships, career, and eating. So, we end up spending most of our time on this big blue marble trying to be something we think we are, but in reality we are not.</p>
<p>The only way to get to that happy place in life is by not trying to get there and start being it.  So how do you start?  Start by thinking about all you have to be grateful for, right now.  Start small, it could be a hot cup of coffee, a warm bed to sleep in, food in the fridge, a loving partner, having a job, maybe it&#8217;s be thankful for the eyesight to be able to read this.  The point is we all have something that we can be thankful for and when you start being thankful you put yourself in a feeling of gratitude.  That feeling sends energy out to the universe/God, which will attract more things into your life to be happy about.</p>
<p>Be careful when looking for things to be grateful for, don&#8217;t look at what is and complain or wish it were different.  Look at what is good in your life and spend a moment appreciating each of those things.  Don&#8217;t look at what you don&#8217;t want and give more energy to it or else you will only attract more things in your life that you don&#8217;t want.  Keep your focus on what you do want, stay open, stay consistent, ignore the junk and watch how happy you can be right now.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <strong><span style="text-align: center;">The more you love life where you are at, the quicker you will be living a life with more to Love!</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">

<p>I&#8217;ve written on the many ways and areas of life to make positive change, except one&#8230; Money!  The reason for this is that I only write something when I am sure it can help whoever may read it be happier in some way.  Generally speaking, most of us believe that having more money means more happiness, for so many that is not true and for some it is.</p>
</div>
<p>What makes the difference between people who are happy with money and people who aren&#8217;t is energy.  Truly, money is nothing more than a way to put a value on the exchange of energy.  If you grew up always hearing:  &#8220;money doesn&#8217;t grow on trees”, “we can’t afford that”, “rich people steal from poor people like us”, or anything negative about money, you acquire a lack of money mindset and tend to struggle with finances the rest of your life.  It&#8217;s all about the energy that is fed to us and what we choose to believe that determines our happiness and not material possessions or money itself.</p>
<div>
<p> Look at the lottery winner phenomena.  Such a high percentage of lottery winners are broke in just a few years after winning millions.  If their money mindset before winning was of a lack of money, they will continue to attract that into their lives, even though they have more than needed to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.  Kinda crazy but that is the way life works, we attract into our lives what we are putting out to life.</p>
<p>Once you adopt positive beliefs about money, such as&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s easy to make money</li>
<li>There is plenty of money to go around</li>
<li>I don&#8217;t have to struggle with paying the bills</li>
<li>Rich people are not bad, just because they are wealthy</li>
<li>I&#8217;m in control &amp; responsible for how much wealth &amp; happiness I have</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;">….You will attract an abundance of wealth opportunities into your life that you will be able to use to enhance your happiness.  Creation of anything, especially money, first requires a thought/idea, then belief in it and finally&#8230; action.  The key to being wealthy, happy and healthy is having a strong belief in yourself and taking consistent action. <strong> What positive action can you take today?</strong>                     (Don&#8217;t know, just ask me!)</p>
<div>
<p align="center"><strong>Success begins the moment you believe you can achieve.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>You don&#8217;t suddenly arrive at Success, it&#8217;s a gradual feeling of enjoyment while on the journey to more.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> There is only one Success that matters in your Life&#8230; the Success you are feeling right now in this moment!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The secret to success in anything&#8230; Be consistently aware of your thoughts  and choose to act, only on the good one&#8217;s!</strong></p>
</div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of us are not selfish enough in the right area&#8217;s of our lives and we care too much about the wrong things. This combo makes it almost impossible to be truly happy.</p>
<p>We put excessive energy into the wrong area&#8217;s, and as a result, we don&#8217;t have enough energy left over for what&#8217;s really important&#8230; our health and happiness. We watch the news and are fed a bunch of garbage, then get upset about all the negativity that is taking place around us. Is getting upset really going to make a difference in what&#8217;s going on in the world? Some would argue, that yes, one person can make a difference. While this is true, it&#8217;s also a rarity. Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mother Theresa for example, have made a huge impact. However, they did it peacefully, not shouting at the TV screen and without obsessively thinking and talking about all the injustices going on. They were laser focused on the solution, not the problem.</p>
<p>When you are focused on anything negative, that gives your energy away to what you are upset over and therefore, you empower it even more. What you focus on and the energy that you give to it, draws more of that to you. If that isn&#8217;t discouraging enough, it also deplete&#8217;s the energy stores you have. That wasted energy could have been used on something more positive. For example, practicing gratitude for all you do have, which would have attracted more things, people or situations into your life to be grateful for.</p>
<p>We hold the power to create the lives we desire and we do that by what we put out into the world. If you aren&#8217;t satisfied with the life that you are living or certain things in it, then change your focus and you will be able to attract something better. It really is that simple, not easy, but simple&#8230; Focus on what&#8217;s positive and forget all the rest.</p>
<p>A great place to change focus is on your health, which is pretty much the foundation for happiness because without being healthy, it&#8217;s kind of hard to be happy about anything else, if almost impossible. This is an area most of us would benefit from if we became more selfish, because we have a tendency to take better care of our cars, houses, pets and others, rather than we do our own body and mind.</p>
<p>When you are really sick, you don&#8217;t think about other people or doing something that will make you happy. You think mostly about yourselves and getting better. This is not the kind of selfishness that I&#8217;m talking about. That is an instance where being selfish is because you have to be. The selfishness that I&#8217;m referring to, that we&#8217;ve forgotten about, is the kind that prevents you from getting sick. It focuses on wellness, not on fixing symptoms and on being fit and not fat. It focuses on having a healthy mind with positive thoughts, not on being negative, worrying, being angry, and fearful. It&#8217;s time to be selfish with our self-care and focus on eating healthy and exercising both our body and mind.</p>
<p>Stop caring so much about what is happening around you. Most of that stuff you cannot change. Care about what you can change and what you can change, is yourself. Care about what you eat. Be selfish about what you put into your body. It&#8217;s the only one you&#8217;ve got.</p>
<p>Eat real food. Pass on the fast and fried foods, candies, cakes, cookies, snacks, sodas, sports drinks, and fruit juices. These are basically loaded with sugar and bad fats. They are okay to indulge in once in a while, but when these so-called foods are making up a majority of your diet, they will make you fat, which effects more than just your appearance. It affects your health and mind as well as the quality of life you live. Even if you don&#8217;t have or aren&#8217;t aware of having any health problems, if you are overweight and not truly happy with the way you look, it affects your overall happiness and that influences all areas of your life.</p>
<p>The way to happiness starts with a healthy body and a healthy body starts with a healthy mind. You must first believe that you have the power to create the body and life you want. It&#8217;s the truth. We all have that power. Believe it and then make the decision to do what it takes to achieve it, which is taking small steps until you have it. Start with cutting out all the un-healthy food and replace it with real nutritious food. There is no need to starve your body or diet. If that worked, then we would all be thin.</p>
<p>Add exercise to your daily routine. Do whatever gets you sweating. Start somewhere, even if it&#8217;s only a 10 minute walk. Just be sure to do it consistently and soon you will be walking for hours and your weight loss, energy, and endurance will spur you on to try other types of physical activity. It&#8217;s really important, especially in the beginning, to have a consistent and strict regime.</p>
<p>You need to develop the habit of eating right and working out and that takes at least three weeks of doing it everyday, every meal. There is nothing wrong with having a cheat day. Cheat days actually can be very good for your metabolism. However, in the beginning, cheat days can turn into cheat weeks, even months and eventually lead to giving up on yourself completely. Healthy habits help create a healthy mind, which creates a healthy body and a healthy happy life.</p>
<p>For your own well being, please be more selfish about how treat your body and care less about the things you can&#8217;t change. Focus on what you can change which is your thoughts, your food choice&#8217;s and exercise. The only thing standing in your way is your decsion to do it. When you do, stick to it and watch just how happy you can be.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Thoughts are fuel for your mind. Food is fuel for you body. Healthy fuel in, happy life out!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Excuses prevent you from having what you really want. Why then, have an excuse for anything?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>True living begins, when false excuses end. Fact: all excuses are false!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Excuses are the lies we tell ourselves that prevent us from doing something, we know we should be doing&#8230; Hmm!?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Excuses, at best, only provide a very short term satisfaction at the expense of long term results!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Body Mind &amp; Soul&#8230; healthy Body + positive Mind = a happy Soul.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I last wrote about Integrity, describing it as the glue like quality that keeps us stuck to our decisions and when those decisions are positive ones, they will lead us to a successful life.  <strong>Worthiness, </strong>then, is the base ingredient in that glue of Integrity. Without it, there is no bonding of our will, decisions, and actions to produce success.</p>
<p>The wonderfulness of  worthiness is one of the most awesome and effective things you can ever feel and, conversely, worthlessness one of the worst.  Let&#8217;s get the worst side of it out of the way so we can then concentrate on the wonderful.</p>
<p>Some people take their lives because they feel so worthless and, sometimes,  they are the last people you&#8217;d expect to be unhappy.  Look at Kurt Cobain &amp; Michael Jackson.  Both were successful in the music business, rich &amp; famous. You wonder, &#8220;How could they  feel worthless? They had it all and must have felt proud of their achievements.&#8221;  Unfortunately, their feelings of worthlessness overshadowed everything else, which ultimately resulted in their deaths &#8212; Kurt by suicide, Michael by long-term drug abuse and, finally, overdose.</p>
<p>I always find it so hard to believe when people with so much outward success and talent self destruct.  Some don&#8217;t end their lives, but instead  destroy their lives with drugs, abusive relationships, or ridiculous stupidity, that  is incomprehensible to most of us.  The truth is that when you&#8217;re famous and successful, the media amplifies all your faults and distributes your personal business globally and almost instantaneously. Although they do it grandly and in a well-publicized manner, celebrities are not the only people who self destruct. People from all income brackets and walks of life are not immune to self destruction. They are just more likely to go unnoticed.  I believe that for celebrities and people from all walks of life, feelings of worthlessness affect all areas of their lives, especially the big three:   Finances,  Weight Loss/Health, &amp; Relationships.</p>
<p>Why do some people feel such a sense of self-worth that they are confident enough to create fascinatingly successful businesses and wealth, like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Donald Trump?  It&#8217;s not that they are any different from anyone else as far as actually being worthy.  We&#8217;re all on the same ground, all created equal. It&#8217;s definitely not looks! You won&#8217;t see this bunch on the cover of GQ, unless the magazine is featuring an article about money.  Hair definitely doesn&#8217;t matter; look at Donald.   There are ton&#8217;s of rags to riches stories, so it&#8217;s not that you need to start with a lot of  money.  What you need is to have the thoughts and belief in the fact you are worthy of being successful, before you actually see the results of success.</p>
<p>Weight loss, being healthy and physically fit, most of us seem to have a lot of trouble with this one.  The good thing is this is the one in the big three that you have complete control over, no one else involved other than your ego.  Being happy with your body is a major springboard for happiness &amp; success in all areas of life, so it&#8217;s a perfect place to start.  When you feel good about the way you look, that feeling helps you with self-confidence and gives you motivation to improve other area&#8217;s of your life.  The issue again&#8230; why it&#8217;s so hard for some to become fit?  It all stems from a lack of worthiness.  When you totally feel worthy of  having the body &amp; life you want, you will do what it takes and create it.</p>
<p>Love relationships, this one can be the most difficult, especially if you are lacking in the other two biggies.  When you don&#8217;t have a good job or your career  is not going well and you are unhappy with your body it puts extreme pressure on your relationship&#8217;s.  You will tend to rely on the other to fulfill what is missing in those other area&#8217;s of your life, which doesn&#8217;t work well at all.  You have to fulfill you!</p>
<p>Also, because you don&#8217;t feel good about yourself or have the finances to get out, you may start feeling like you&#8217;re stuck in an unhappy dead-end relationship. Then, if you add children into the mix,  it makes it feel like it&#8217;s next to impossible to do anything about it.  Some resign themselves to it and think, &#8220;This is the way it has to be,&#8221; suffering through it all and living unhappy lives.  Others self medicate to dull the pain, which is like putting a Band-aid on a wound that never heals.</p>
<p>At the root of all this unhappiness, from the most extreme expression of taking your own life, to less final examples like gaining weight, staying in a bad job or marriage, or simply just settling  for a mediocre existence, is a lack of worthiness.  It does not matter how rich or famous you are, if you feel unworthy of the things you have, you will not be happy.  The opposite is also true.</p>
<p>So you have to ask yourself, &#8220;If I don&#8217;t feel I am worthy of a happy life, who is worthy then?&#8221;  No one is any more or less worthy than YOU! So, please, if you think you don&#8217;t deserve to be happy in all areas of life, start today by realizing that you are wrong!</p>
<p>The more you truly believe that you deserve to have happiness, the more happy you will be.  It&#8217;s that simple!  Not easy, but simple, and worth the effort required to embed that belief.  You see, we create all beliefs by the thoughts we continue to think most.  So to start creating the life you want, you must  continually remind yourself that you are worthy of it. The more worthy you feel, the sooner you will live the results of your new beliefs.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to get selfish, the healthy kind that says, &#8220;I matter and I am going to do what it takes for me to be happy, because if I am happy, I can help all others around me do the same.&#8221; Only by being what you wish to see in others will you be able to effectively help anyone else. You attract what you are being &amp; feeling. That emotional energy attracts people, situations &amp; things to you, that will assist you in what you desire.  If you are giving off non-worthy vibes, you will simply attract more things into your life to feel not worthy about.</p>
<p>Start by envisioning  what you want &#8212; the body, job, career, relationship, or whatever is most important to you now.  See it in your mind; experience it like you are watching a 30-second movie of which you are the star; feel what your desire actually will feel like; then put those thoughts into words and continually repeat them to yourself and soon you will be living that starring role!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> If you always expect the best out of yourself and life, you will get it!  You deserve to have it all. Never forget that! </strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Will power, decisions, choices, actions, habits &#8212;  these are the steps that create the life you see and experience.  <strong>I</strong><strong>ntegrity</strong> is the overall quality that makes it possible to live the life you desire.</p>
<p>I have been thinking a lot lately why one person is successful, but another person with equal capabilities fails. What accounts for the difference?  I see this disparity in everything, from weight loss, relationships, career to overall happiness in life.  Take weight loss/fitness, for example. For the most part,  we all start on almost equal footing. It&#8217;s not a money issue: it doesn&#8217;t matter how much money you have, because exercise is free and the less you spend on food, possibly the better.</p>
<p>Why then do so many people have a problem with losing weight while others don&#8217;t?  A lot of people say it&#8217;s due to the lack of will power,  but I say that&#8217;s not the case.  Will power is just the first step;  it&#8217;s our true selves/soul communicating with us to make a positive change.  Most of us listen to that inner soul talk and have the will to want to make the improvement it suggests. It&#8217;s after that first step that people start getting tripped up.</p>
<p>Others will say it&#8217;s lack of motivation:  not having written goals, emotional eating,  lack of portion control,  too busy to eat right or  not enough time to exercise.   All just excuses. Excuses are nothing more than lies we tell ourselves to temporarily alleviate the guilt we feel when we avoid good habits, allowing procrastination to set in.</p>
<p>I believe what holds most people back from doing the things they know will bring success is integrity!  I&#8217;m referring to the quality of having personal integrity, seeing yourself as worthy of being happy in all areas of life.  When you see and feel worthy of losing weight and being fit, you will do what it takes to accomplish your goal.  That also goes for getting out of a dead end job or an equally burdensome  current love relationship.</p>
<p>It really applies to all areas of life big and small, like being dependable when you schedule time with friends, giving to charity, spending quality time with family, avoiding cheating on your taxes, etc. (Sorry that last one should have nothing to do with this topic)  Some say integrity is doing what you say, even when no one is watching. Really,  it is far greater then that and it begins with our inner self talk.</p>
<p>Basically, when you hear that calm inner voice that just feels right, if you allow it to,  it will guide you to the best decisions about your current situation.  That voice is the soul speaking.  When we listen to that voice and say, &#8220;Yes, I am going to make a change,&#8221;  that is our <strong>will power</strong> urging us to make a <strong>decision.</strong> These decisions become positive <strong>choices</strong> about the <strong>actions</strong> we will take. In due time, those <strong>actions</strong> become <strong>habits</strong> which will create a new reality.</p>
<p>Integrity is the glue that hold it all together.  It will keep you stuck to your decision, help you make sound choices, give you the energy for your actions and create effective habits that will put you at a happy place in your life.  To have the glue of integrity, you must feel you truly deserve and are worthy to be thin &amp; fit, successful in your profession or loved &amp; happy in your relationships.</p>
<p>Worthiness is the foundation of integrity. Add that to passion and you have the perfect recipe to make your life what you want.</p>
<p>PS. When someone is lacking integrity, they probably don&#8217;t feel worthy in that area or circumstance of their life.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>God/Source creates all living beings worthy of enjoying every thing life has to offer.  It&#8217;s up to You to make that true!</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is not the biggest question of life,<strong> &#8220;How do I become happier?&#8221;</strong>  I mean, to keep it simple, isn&#8217;t that what we all want?  It&#8217;s even written in The American Declaration of Independence:</p>
<p><strong> &#8220;All men are created equal, That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, That among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.&#8221;</strong></p>
<div>The life and liberty parts are not issues for most of us; the happiness part is clearly a different story.  Most of us tell the same old story: we don&#8217;t actually seek happiness, but instead seek the best ways to avoid the negative. The Declaration would be more applicable if it read: &#8220;The pursuit away from negativity!&#8221; Think about it! How many times have these questions crossed your mind?</div>
<div>Why are some people so negative all the time?</div>
<p>How do I deal with negative people or situations, so they don&#8217;t bring  me down?</p>
<div>How do I live or work with a grouchy negative person without wanting to kill them?  (a little drastic, but I bet it has crossed your mind a time or two)</div>
<p>There are three ways to approach these situations. The first option is the easiest to do and works instantly&#8230; escape!  Get away as fast as you can. Run for your life! This method is simple, fast, and effective, especially for short-term relationships, such as someone you just met in a business or personal situation, a friend of a friend, etc.</p>
<p>Although the negative person is still negative, you won&#8217;t be subject to it anymore.  That&#8217;s why it is great for someone you will hardly ever see or never see again. Escape is also sometimes appropriate for a long-term relationship that is beyond repair. Sometimes, it is better to part ways, allowing each person to have a clean start in a different direction. This is a judgement call best made after the next two methods have been tried.</p>
<p>Because we have long-term relationships, escape is frequently not an option. We need to delve into how can we be happy around the not-so-happy people that are in our lives and are likely to remain in our lives, such as our spouses, family members, friends, and co-workers.  These situations are more difficult to handle and leave us with two basic options: confront or let it be!</p>
<p>First, let&#8217;s tackle confrontation.  When you confront someone for being negative, it is like flipping a coin. You basically have a 50% chance to come up heads (where you both win) or tails (where the confronted person becomes angry, increasing their negativity.) Be careful about how you approach your confrontation. If you confront someone because you just can&#8217;t take their negativity anymore, your frustration with them may come across as a personal attack, which causes defensiveness and denial of the negative behavior. As a result, no positive change occurs and the negative person basically goes on ignoring your &#8220;helpful&#8221; observation of their attitude.  (Just a little sarcasm on that last part)</p>
<p>If that flip of the confrontational coin lands heads up and they are receptive to their &#8220;unknown to them&#8221; negativity, you may trigger an awareness, which alone may be enough for them to work on changing their attitude.  I have found that most people who are negative don&#8217;t realize they are. If you are able to point out their negativity with their well-being in mind, without frustration, it can create big attitude changes, as long as they recognize that they want to be happy.  Unfortunately, some people don&#8217;t care and that&#8217;s when the first option (escape) may be the best choice for you.</p>
<p>The last and most effective option that works well with all types of people and in most situations is to let it be!  This is often the best option because if unhappy, negative, depressed, miserable people knew how not to be unhappy, negative, depressed, miserable people, they would be.  I&#8217;m not trying to assign blame. It is what it is, which does not release either party from responsibility.  First and foremost, you have the responsibility to yourself to do whatever it takes for you to be happy, in every situation. Likewise, other people are responsible for their own situations. Their negative behavior is for them to deal with, not you. You can only control how you react and, when you react to negativity, you give it power.  As it has been said, &#8220;They know not what they do,&#8221; so react accordingly. Don&#8217;t take it personally!  Whatever someone else is angry, negative, or depressed about is not about you.  It is about something going on within them.  Because they just don&#8217;t know how to deal with it, they project outward to whoever is closest, which gives their negativity more energy and actually validates their unhappiness!</p>
<p>The best anyone of us can do in any situation is our best, no more and no less. Although you have the options to escape from or confront a negative person, in many cases the best approach for your own well-being is to let it be. Stay calm, give the negative energy no power, ignore it, and take the steps that you need to for your own happiness as soon as possible.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The most powerful response to anything negative is no response at all. Great power is in the silence of the mind!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Once you realize the fact that everyone is doing the best they know how to at this moment, all your relationships, </strong><strong>big &amp; small will change!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>All negative thought-feeling is not real, only seems real because we give it our energy-focus. Let it be, let it go, let in the good</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>When you forgive someone, you are not releasing them, you are releasing your self from negative thought &amp; emotion!</strong></p>

<p>The subject of &#8220;labels,&#8221; keeps popping into my thoughts a lot lately, so I thought I would start typing, and see what comes out. The labels I am so affectionately referring to &lt;&lt;insert sarcasm here&gt;&gt; are the ones that have been imposed on us, as well as the ones we impose on ourselves!  They  started, most of the time, before we were even born,  often change from time to time, and  are ongoing throughout our lives.</p>
<p>The first label is our name, which was given to us by people we just met, our wonderful parents!  Having the pressure of being labeled as parents-to-be, they probably spent a lot of time over the nine months while we were incubating going back in forth with each other,  reading many lists, trying to come up with the perfect name/label to capture in one word our title that we would be known as for the rest of our lives!</p>
<p>So, our first label  started with a lot of pressure to get it just right and we have continued refining that decision by self-imposing many sub-labels to ourselves. It started innocently enough.  As babies, we began doing things our parents liked, like crawling, saying incoherent words and then semi-incoherent words, onto actually speaking, eating, walking &amp; going potty by ourselves. They loved all of that and gave us praise.  Those labels of praise were the effective labels that inspired us to do more of what we were told, which we labeled as good.</p>
<p>These helped us grow and begin to create the life we are meant to live.  These are not the labels that need explaining to understand what they do or don&#8217;t do when we adopt them.  Let&#8217;s label these labels, for lack of a better word, the &#8220;good&#8221; ones!</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The ones we seem to need help with are all the other labels. These are the ineffective ones we accept, believe, and, consequently, try to live up to or down to. In most cases, we are unable to live up to them and that&#8217;s what causes problems.  The label itself is not bad or good; it&#8217;s the energy we put behind trying to  live up to those labels that causes challenges. Even calling ourselves a human can bring with it issues, of  what is it to be human!</p>
<p>Who decides what a &#8220;good&#8221; human is supposed to be like?  Many people would say God tells us through his word what a human should be.  I agree with that, insomuch as the word of God is the word that is in us all and it is our purpose in this life to figure out what God/universe is saying to us.</p>
<p>It does not matter what our parents, teachers, friends, family, media, politicians, religions or even we ourselves say about how or what a good human should act or be like.  It is up to each individual to find and learn for themselves, not what a human is, but what we all can BE!</p>
<p>Simple fix&#8230; don&#8217;t label yourself as anything.  Just live and enjoy what you are. Let everyone else try to figure out what that may be!</p>
</div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Happiness often begins with first being a little uncomfortable.  </strong></p>
<p>Whenever you&#8217;re in a situation that feels uncomfortable to you, that feeling is coming from one of two places: either your soul communicating to you or your ego self communicating at you.</p>
<p>There are three general reasons why you would feel uncomfortable.  The first is the normal human response to danger… fire is hot, look both ways before crossing the street, don’t trust this person, etc.</p>
<p>The second is from the ego self, which stems from what I call false fear, which is a fear of something that is not true. This false fear mostly arises when we are assuming. When we assume, we usually assume the worst about some situation or person.  Have you noticed 9 times out of 9 we are wrong?!  Simple fix… stop assuming anything about anything!</p>
<p>The third type of discomfort also comes from our ego and is another type of false fear. It arises when we want to do something healthy for ourselves &#8212; physically, emotionally or spiritually.</p>
<p>Example: you want to work out to get in shape &amp; lose weight, so you start thinking about how you really need to do so and decide you are going to start today. Then, the ego voice says, &#8220;You didn’t sleep well enough last night, so you probably won’t have a good workout.  Why not wait until tomorrow?&#8221;  That tomorrow turns into next week, next week into next month, and now that ego voice says, &#8220;You are too out of shape to work out; it will be too difficult; it&#8217;s much easier to lift the phone and order a pizza, followed by a big bowl of ice cream!&#8221;</p>
<p>If you are not comfortable with a little un-comfortableness when it first appears, it can spiral out of control!  The key is to determine what kind of discomfort you are feeling as soon as it arises.</p>
<p>The first kind is legitimate and pre-programmed. We use to keep ourselves safe; that one is obvious.</p>
<p>The second stems from assuming and we know now that assuming makes no sense.</p>
<p>The third one is a little tricky but easy to overcome, if you catch it as soon as the un-comfortablness arises. Once you do, you just have to determine what it stems from.  If it is something that is good for you, like exercising, eating healthier, reading, spending more time with loved ones, etc., then you should now see clearly that the tiny bit of un-comfortableness is well worth the payoff!</p>
<p>Funny thing about starting something new or making changes to something old &#8212; it always seems harder at first and then, after actually following through with the changes, you soon realize how easy it really is.  Secret to living a happy comfortable life… notice when the ego is talking, ignore it and move forward with what feels right!  Follow your heart/gut/soul/spirit/God, whatever you call that indescribable good feeling/intuition we all have. “It” will never let you down!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>Starting your day with a positive expectation is the foundation for the rest of your life.</p>
</div>
<p>Your first thoughts after waking set in motion what you are attracting to you right at that moment and what you attract at that moment sets out more intentions to God/universe to receive more of what you just experienced.</p>
<p>It’s like this… if you wake up to a loud alarm clock and think or actually do throw it across the room, mumble a couple expletives, then you have put out the request to receive more to curse about. You may now get up and smack your knee or toe into the bed post, find no toilet paper in the bathroom, run out of coffee, can’t find your keys, car won’t start, late for work, boss chews you out, you tell the boss off, lose your job, lose your spouse and on and on!  Now that was a little extreme, especially if it happened all in a day, but it does happen all the time &#8212;  it’s just spread out over months and years.</p>
<p>So starting your day with positive expectations is extremely important, unless you don’t like your job and spouse! Assuming that you do want to keep both and even enhance your experiences with them, setting the positive expectation for the day  starts before you fall asleep the night before.  It is difficult for most of us to wake up all bright eyed and bushy-tailed, instantly expecting great things to happen.  The key is setting that intention just before falling asleep.</p>
<div>
<p>While lying in bed, review the positives of your day with gratefulness, then intend to wake up refreshed with the expectation of something unexpectedly positive happening to you in the new day.  The key to that powerful bedtime ritual is having the feeling of gratefulness and combining that with the intention of something unexpected. The gratefulness will attract more to be grateful for.  The unexpectedness leaves it open for God/universe to give you what you “really need” and not what you may think will do the trick.</p>
</div>
<p>It is powerful and works extremely well, but don&#8217;t take my word for it!  Prove it to yourself; you will be glad you did and so will everyone else in your life!</p>
<div>
<p>P.S. Let me know about all the Awesomeness you start attracting in your life.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Awesome!  Awesomeness!  You are Awesome! </strong></p>
</div>
<p>I love that word.  I guess it might have something to do with growing up in the 80&#8242;s, where  it seemed to become very popular, but for me it has stuck. I&#8217;ve recently been accused of using it too much and that&#8217;s what has spurred me on to write about it!  I use it for several reasons:   one is because &#8220;good&#8221; seems to be the new okay and okay the new not so good, but the main reason is it&#8217;s the absolute truth.</p>
<p>Definition: <strong>awe-some  </strong>[aw-suh]  adjective 1. inspiring awe: an awesome sight.</p>
<p>We are ALL an awesome sight! We  ALL come from inspiration, which means: in &#8211; spirit.  We have labeled ourselves as humans, but that&#8217;s really not what we are.  We are spiritual beings having a human experience.  It&#8217;s the same with our names:  we are not our names, they really are just our personal labels and  given to us by people we just met.  We are truly awesome, but most of us forget that fact, so I like to remind people as much as possible of what you really are. My hope is that if you hear it enough you might just start believing you really are awesome.</p>
<p>All growth and positive change happens through some kind of  positive reinforcement.  Nature does a great job on her own.  It&#8217;s us &#8220;humans&#8221; that need it the most.  So, please  everyone, you are truly AWESOME.  Believe it, it&#8217;s the truth, keep telling yourself  often and one day, all you will see is Awesomeness every where you look!</p>
<p>Just remember all words are not the thing itself (example: The word orange is not the color or fruit) Words are just signs that point to what something is.  It&#8217;s the energy we put behind the words we say that matter.  You know the saying&#8230; It&#8217;s not what you say, but how you say it that matters and what matters most is the talking that is going on between your two ears. So what anyone say&#8217;s to you, is really for them to deal with, what you say to and about yourself to yourself is what counts!</p>
<p>Our most effective way to live an Awesome life,  is simply to observe our inner talk, let it be, and focus on something that makes us happy.  Why not focus on being AWESOME?  You Matter&#8230;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;" align="center">SHE is so beautiful that once you see her, you won’t look at anyone else!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">HER voice is so sweet and melodious that once you listen to her, you won’t hear anything else!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">SHE is so sweet smelling that once you feel her fragrance, you will be unable to smell another!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">SHE is so sweet in taste that once you taste her, you won’t taste anything else!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">SHE is so soft and tender that once you touch her, you won’t let her go!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So Felt I, and I went after her..</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I LOVE HER so much and SHE LOVES ME too</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Our LOVE is deepest in depth and broadest in breadth</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Our LOVE is strongest in strength and the softest of soft</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I want to be one with her and SHE wants to be one with me!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Then you may ask “who’s blocking you??”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I asked this question to myself, 1001 times.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">And I got the same answer “It is ME and ONLY ME, who’s blocking me”!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">It is my MIND, my EGO that doesn’t let me reach HER!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Then you may ask “Who can help you reaching her?”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I asked this question to myself, 1001 times.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">And I got the same answer “It is ME and ONLY ME, who can help me!”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">It is the ME within me, who can guide me to reach HER!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Then you may ask “What is blocking you, if you know the YOU within YOU can help you?”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I asked this question 1001 times, but this time, and still as of yet to get an answer!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Here I go, meditating upon myself to find the answer&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">In the mean time, If you get the answer to my question, please do lemme know.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>I love you,  Donna Lynne</strong></p>
