If we believe that we have no choices and that we are powerless in life, we will live life from a victim point of view.
What we do is based on what we wish to attain, or our needs. Some people feel a great need for money, but is it really money they yearn for?
While the common saying goes "I'll believe it when I see it", Wayne Dyer told us "You'll see it when you believe it". We must first "see" and believe in what we wish to create before it can be in our lives.
The medical community is recognizing the deadly role that stress plays in the cause of illness. It is a major factor in the suppression of the immune system, creating susceptibility to disease.
Whenever you have a problem -- business or personal -- turn it over to the forces of creation, to God as you understand God. Most people call this process prayer, but you can call it anything you like.
Our great fear is that once we open up and show our "true" selves, that people will turn against us, that they will look down at us (as we do on ourselves), that they will abandon us, that they will reject us (as we reject ourselves).
It is so easy to make a difference in someone's life. And it doesn't cost a thing.
Some people think that in order to pray you have to be in a church, or that to meditate you must be sitting in the lotus position, or that to receive spiritual teachings you must be in the presence of a teacher or guru.
We all have needs. And those needs are constantly changing. Sometimes we need solitude, other times companionship. Sometimes we need activity and entertaining events, other times our soul yearns for peace and quiet. Sometimes we...
It is said there are only two energies... love and fear. At first we may think that is simplistic, but when we break down any other emotion (energy in motion), we find that it all fits either under the umbrella of fear or of love.
At times we fear our emotions... probably because we've repressed them and we're afraid the pressure may burst and create havoc.
When people talk about tough love, they usually are thinking of parent to child. However, tough love can be applied to ourselves.
We cannot hold two contrary thoughts at the same time and we cannot hold two contrary emotions at the same time.
Procrastination does not serve us at all. If we avoid dealing with the issues that come up in our lives as they come up, the Universe will simply keep bringing up the same or similar situations, each time a little bit more intensely, until we face whatever it is we need to face.
One of the ingredients of harmony and happiness is balance. We are out of balance when we feel lacking in any way... whether we feel lacking in personal attributes, or in financial support.
It's not always easy to live the life we wish to live. We have expectations to content with... not just from the people we love and even of the people around us, but also the sometimes misguided expectations of our own self.
I want you to know that all energy is positive. All energy is good. It changes depending on what you do with it. I want you to quit speaking in terms of negative energy, because...
People who talk to themselves are often considered crazy. Many of us have been told, or have heard said, that one shouldn't talk to oneself.
We can free ourselves from whatever is unlike Love and truly become free to express the Love and Joy that reside in our true Self.
Our society needs to recognize the beneficial effects touch has on the nervous system with the same readiness as it today pops tranquilizers and sleeping pills.
As humans we tend to be concerned with externals: with youth, with beauty, with looking good. The big house, the fancy car, the snazzy clothes,...
No matter how thick your dossier of what has gone wrong, you can start a new dossier now. All it takes is one person who is willing to see your higher possibilities. And if no one out there is doing that, let that one person be you.
Our emotions affect us in many ways. They of course affect how we feel emotionally, but they also affect us physically. Our energy level, our posture, and even our health can be affected by our emotions.
