The Journey to Self Discovery

It’s Always Better To Be Yourself Are you comfortable being yourself in all situations? If you’re like most people, you’re 90% yourself when you’re with close friends, 50% yourself with casual acquaintances, and hide from strangers.  Being your true self in all settings and situations is scary, but ultimately empowering and relaxing.  Imagine the relief you’ll experience. You no longer have to worry about the perceptions of others. You can just be yourself and feel satisfied with that. Be Yourself And Take Back Control Of Your Life: 1.  Meditate.   Meditation  quiets the part of you that judges and labels everything around you. Gain some insight into the real you by meditating regularly. 2.  Tell the truth.  When you’re truthful, you reveal yourself. Be honest about your mistakes and shortcomings. 3.  Be unique.  The true you isn’t exactly like everyone else. What music do you listen to when you’re alone? How do you dress? Do you keep the unique parts to yourself or a

Positive thinking can add so much to your life – and now we know that positive thinking can add years to your life. When you think positive you get rid of stress and tend to live a healthier life and make better choices. If you’re naturally a negative thinker, there are ways you can change that thinking and get on the path to a life-changing way of thinking. If you really want to begin to think positively and change your life for the better, look at the following ways you can incorporate into your own lifestyle: 1.      Be responsible for your thoughts No one can tell you what to think or controls how you react to your thinking. When you begin to take responsibility for your thoughts, you’ll face the reality of what they’re doing to or for you and be more able to change those negative thoughts. 2.      Plan to think positively So many of our thoughts come from the subconscious mind. When you plan or choose, to think positively, you won’t be as apt to take what you’re thinking as rea

Maintaining a positive attitude is SO crucial. So today I'm going to share with you 3 valuable tips in order to kill negativity.

  I noticed something within myself coming out through my words and, as you know, words are definitely power. I found myself relinquishing my power negatively by not acknowledging my abilities. Early on in the day, I had posted an encouraging quote like I always did, admonishing others in their walk in life. People were giving me admonishments for all I had done for the community of survivors, and I immediately thought I was not worthy. I responded finally by saying, "No,  WE are great!"   Looking back, I said, damn how damaging! I had spent so much of my life feeling inadequate, forgetting all the amazing things I had done. It was like a gaping hole in the middle of me, never satisfied. I couldn't appreciate a compliment because my no self-esteem worked against my memory and acceptance of my reality. I was always trying to measure up to someone or something that didn't exist. But then I realized something: we are all kingdoms. Our bodies, our minds, our souls,

To everything in life, there’s always a negative and a positive perspective and nothing is "wrong" or "right". When you see a glass on your table filled halfway with water, you could say, “That glass is half empty, why don’t I pour out the water.” or,  “That glass is half full, why don’t I fill it up.” Check this out, that from the first question, you’re actually making the condition of the glass worse. That’s the negative view. From the second question, you’re making the glass feel a whole lot better with itself. That’s the positive perspective. We choose to see things negatively because of our emotions.  Well, not me, now!   Many people tend to only look at the bad aspects of their lives and dwell on failures. But we learn a lot from failure, much more than  we ever learn from success. The emotion you feel at any given time determines your perspective at that time. Behind every negative thought  or incident that occurs, there is a lesson behind it w

Life's often unfair. Bad things do happen to good people. Accidents, hurricanes, cancer, break-ups, divorce, unemployment...the list goes on. You have to deal with what has come your way, and it often doesn't seem right. Question : Can you find joy, even when things look bad? Problem : Since you were young, parents and teachers taught you a world view. Generally, this world view was a mix of religion and family philosophy. If you are like most of us, you've been inculcated with the notion that if you are good, you will be rewarded; and if you are bad you will be punished. But, things do not always seem to act in accord with these rules. We see that good things happen to bad people, and that bad things happen to good people.  As we grow older we see the world can be a cruel place. We discover that the things we were taught, do not necessarily hold true. So, what do we do ? How do you seize joy if you're hurt or disappointed? One important answer
