Are you travelling along the slippery slope to your grave? Written by Lynn Claridge
When it comes right down to it where ever you go is where you are, whatever you end up doing, that’s what you are doing, whatever you are thinking right now, that’s what’s on your mind, what has happened to you, has already happened. The important part is how are you going to handle it? In other words “NOW WHAT”. Like it or not this is all we have to work with. At every moment of day, we find ourselves at crossroads of here and now. The reason we can often feel lost is because we momentarily lose touch with ourselves and with full extent of our possibilities. We fall into a robot like way of seeing, thinking and doing. In those moments, we are breaking contact with our deepest inner self. What we need to do is wake up to way we do things. Waking up goes hand in hand, with what we might call “wisdom or spiritual enlightenment” which helps us to see more deeply into cause and effect, interconnectedness of things. By seeing and understanding your inner self and trying to change your life for better does not mean you are weird or becoming a religious zombie. It is simply being you and knowing something about yourself. It helps to see path we call life with its direction and meaning. You can easily remain on a slippery slope right into your grave if you do not do something about it. We may never quite touch fullness of our possibilities. Instead we lock ourselves into a personal fiction that we already know who we are, that we know where we are and where we are going, that we know what is happening, all while remaining enshrouded in thoughts, fantasies and impulses about past and future. About what we want and like, what we fear and do not like. These thoughts spin out continuously, under veiling our direction and very ground we standing on. If what happens now does influence what happens next, then does it not make sense to look around from time to time, so you are more in touch with what is happening around now? You can then take your inner and outer bearings and perceive with clarity path that you are actually on, direction in which you are going.
| | How To Live Happily Ever AfterWritten by Maya Pinion
In life, many of us simply plunge ahead, only to realize later that some of things we did, we wish we hadn't, and some of things we didn't do, we wish we had. How do you keep yourself on right track, right path? And how can you live happily ever after? Here's how. Here's one simple easy-to-do thing that can help keep you on right track and help you live happily ever after ... Before you do something ask yourself, "will I be happier afterward?" How does that work? How do you apply it to your life? Here are some examples ... Before a person binged on something they shouldn't eat too much of, if they had asked themselves "will I be happier afterward?", maybe they would have binged less, or not binged at all. Before a person bought an expensive, non-returnable item on impulse, if they had asked themselves "will I be happier afterward?", maybe they wouldn't have bought such a dumb thing and wasted their money.
