A place to escape and view positive humanity.
Wouldn’t it be nice if it was really this easy? Even in the darkest moments of our life, we can choose to wallow in it or choose to be happy and move on.
The situation at hand or someone that made you angry or sad is not the one in charge. You are! Don’t let the world or someone else try to dictate how you are supposed to be feeling at the present moment. You be the boss and decide how you want to feel at any given moment.
Unlike the quote from ‘Positive Thoughts,’ this one is not about attraction but rather about acceptance.
There have been too many times in life when something happens to make you think this is not what was supposed to happen.
Wayne Dyer related a story where he was to talk on a station where the format was getting changed and that everyone was told that was their last day. People thought this was horrible but many of them did not realize that this was the best for that moment and instead of being in a job they did not enjoy they ended up starting their dream business, writing an opera, or getting the job they really wanted. God had to give them a kick in the butt to get them going.
This is a loosely explained definition of manifesting or we attract what we put out.
When you have positive thoughts, feelings, and life experiences other positive people will notice that and be attracted to you or if we are lucky a negative person will become positive by just being in your presence.
It is said that when Mother Teresa entered a village that it would raise the energy in the village and everything will feel lighter.
Have you ever had that experience when entering a certain place or when a certain person came in? If not, stop and ‘feel’ the air. Is it ‘heavy’ or ‘light’ then go to another location and see how it feels there. Just by practicing and noticing the differences will help you feel this.
This quote by Thomas Troward was quoted by Wayne Dyer from his DVD series makes an interesting point. It talks about how all of us are connected along with our environment. Environorganism is the word that Wayne Dyer made up to define this I believe. So if we are all connected in this way it means that what we want is here already and that we have the power to obtain it. By following this piece of advice it was meant to help manifesting things in your life.
We are creatures of habit. This quote from Deepak Chopra is a good reminder to help you remember, “Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.”
The next time try and catch yourself from reacting in the same old way, whether it is reaching for that candy bar or how you talk to your kids. Do you want to continue acting that way in the future or do you want to change it?
I have to remind myself of this quote when dealing with some people.
It is better to be more forgiving of the mistakes of others and not get angry. After all, we are only human. It may sound like an easy cop-out but we are not flawless.
Once we fully realize that, accept that, and understand that we can live much happier lives instead of being angry for things not turning out the way you wanted them too.
Relax, nothing is in control. Situations outside of you are not in your control so relax and accept life for the way it unfolds for you. Check out the post “Secret to Happiness” where I go over this in more detail.
In short, just because things are not under your control and not doing what you would like it to do does not mean anything. The way life unfolds is the Universe’s plan, not yours and it may make your life turn out better this way.
The one thing I like about this quote is that it is on your own time. Boxed, scheduled, follow-the-rules organized religion has always not sat well with me.
I wish I could remember where I read it but I remember reading that Jesus would not have wanted to be worshipped in a church but for people to be out in the open. For me sitting out in nature is WAY more effective with me than pitting in the pew.
I love this deep thinking quote. If you are not happy with the way your life is right now, take a look at your past choices that you have made and realize that life came out the way it did because of what choices you made.
If you are unhappy with your life right now then start making different choices to make it the way you want it to be.
Blaming others for how your life turned out will not fix anything. Ultimately you have to take responsibility for your actions and how your life turned out from your actions. Making excuses like my parents were a bad influence or I never had enough money will not cut it.
But what if you were raped by your father as a child and you couldn’t prevent it? Yes, that can have quite an effect on someone. But how you react to it is your choice and will pave a path on how your life will end up. Some kill their rapist and end up in jail, some report them to the cops and they end up in jail. Some do not have the immediate emotional support they need when their mother will not help. Then they would have to talk to their school or someone who will listen.
Life will have tough choices but the choices you make will ultimately create your life.
You can get rid of a lot of misery in your life by accepting what is instead of what you want it to be.
People, events, and situations happen all outside of you. Just because any of these do not happen the way you wanted it to or the way you expected it to does not mean that you are in control of it. Relax nothing is in control.
Once you can let go and let it be you will be able to handle situations like this easier. You will be a lot happier once you relinquish control and let things unfold as the universe directs it to.
Just because the situation did not do what you expected it to or it seems to make things worse does not mean that it was meant to be. This could be a blessing in surprise that you do not realize yet. Maybe you got fired from your job and in a few months you end up doing what you really wanted to do and are much happier. Maybe this is the universes way of kicking you in the butt and getting you fired so that you can do what you were really meant to do and be happier!
