Our path to peace

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

The awareness of peace helps us drop the rant of the ego, which is always looking for offenses, measuring them, rearranging the details to make us feel justified.  But, things don’t have to go our way for us to be happy.  We can be happy simply because the people we love are happy.  Taking care of our own business should boost self-esteem and success, health and happiness.

No two people experience life in exactly the same way, and we can never control another’s thoughts or deeds.  We have to practice letting go of the illusion that we must control everything and everybody.  Instead, embrace peace, the kind of peace that surpasses all understanding.  Cheers to peace!

Breaking Bad Habits

Saturday, August 20th, 2011

Bad habits are like weeds, easy to grow but so hard to kill.  Unlike weeds you have to be sure you want to get rid of the bad habit.  Make up in your mind that enough is simply enough.  You have to be tired of getting sick and tired.

First, figure out the motivation behind you want to break the bad habit.  We all have them but that does not mean we want to get rid of them.  It’s important to ask yourself what you will gain from breaking the bad habit.

Second, take the necessary steps to break the bad habit.  You must have a structure for change to achieve positive results.

Third, set a date for which the change will be complete!  That’s right you have to have a dead line in place, none of us change without pressure.

Finally, surround yourself with a supportive group of family and friends, folks that are aware of the bad habit you are trying to break and folks that will hold you accountable for the change commitment you have made to yourself.

Cheers to a healthier lifestyle!

Your Passion

Sunday, August 14th, 2011

Passion – Including the manifestations of passion we feel within ourselves which allows us to call it “ours”. Passion is not something we can grasp or own but a force of nature, connected to an influenced by things that extend far beyond any human being. You know when you have found your passion, there’s an instant connection. When we embrace our passions it pushes us forward when we question our passion it stops us dead in our tracks. Follow your heart, take time to be still so that you can feel it when it arrives.  It’s taking a leap of faith and welcoming all the possibilities.

Passion is something we search for, we must be ready and willing to embrace it when it comes knocking. When passion arrives you will have joy, peace and happiness.  Cheers!

Hello Beautiful! Yes, I am talking about you. Perhaps your concept of beauty is to look perfect. Perhaps it’s reaching some other unattainable ideal that maybe holding you back from putting your best self forward. If your identity and sense of worth are too dependent on appearance, minor flaws and mishaps can take on epic proportions and interfere with your life.  Don’t get stressed out or discouraged.  You can learn to love your individual attributes and redefine the role your look plays in your life.  Try taking on a more positive attitude and self-image. Embrace ideas that make you feel good.

Remember tiny tweaks can transform your inner beauty thoughts, and loving yourself is key! Blissfully kiss any negativity good-bye. Cheers!
