Motivational: Discovering Your Personal Treasure Chest

Discovering Your Personal Treasure Chest

Written by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

Have you ever wished for repparttar

Publishers Clearing House to come to your door one bright and early morning? Or perhaps you bought a lottery ticket, feeling repparttar 123743

anticipation of being sent a substantial check every week for repparttar 123744

rest of your life. Although you may not realize it, metaphorically repparttar 123745

Publishers Clearing House comes by your door every morning, and every day you have repparttar 123746

winning lottery ticket. How is this possible? Well, within you there already exists a treasure chest. It is filled with repparttar 123747

priceless jewels of your own positive memories and your capacities to achieve positive states of being.

Don't be afraid to open up that treasure chest and peek inside. Ah! What is that first jewel, that shiny object that resembles a beautiful sparkling sapphire? That jewel represents something positive that happened to you. What was it? Was it those few minutes you sat on repparttar 123748 porch and watched repparttar 123749 sun's rays shining through repparttar 123750 trees? Or was it when a friend called and invited you to come over -- perhaps repparttar 123751 friend that you had meant to call many months ago but didn't call? Or was it nothing in particular other than all repparttar 123752 breaths of air that you inhaled and exhaled, repparttar 123753 heart beats that continue to support repparttar 123754 being that is you? You'll have to decide what that sapphire really is, as well as repparttar 123755 diamond and repparttar 123756 ruby and all those beautiful pearls. Each one belongs to you and each one is a positive memory that you can tap into again and again.

Resist Nothing -- What A Concept

Written by Miami Phillips

Last week, I listened to Thaddeus Golas’ The Lazyman’s Guide to Enlightenment. In it he explains his concept of “Resist Nothing”. I am very attracted to this concept.

Then, (by coincidence?) I received an email repparttar next day containing repparttar 123742 following passage from Tao Te Ching (a 2500 year old work written by Lao-zi (Lao -tse)):

"When we learn to work with our own Inner Nature, and with repparttar 123743 natural laws operating around us, we reach repparttar 123744 level of Wu Wei. Then we work with repparttar 123745 natural order of things and operate on repparttar 123746 principle of minimal effort. Since repparttar 123747 natural world follows that principle, it does not make mistakes. Mistakes are made - or imagined - by man, repparttar 123748 creature with repparttar 123749 overloaded Brain who separates himself from repparttar 123750 supporting network of natural laws by interfering and trying too hard."

I thought this to be another wonderful illustration of Golas' concept of "resist nothing". If repparttar 123751 natural world follows repparttar 123752 principle of minimal effort, which to me sounds a lot like no resistance, then it makes sense that by interfering and trying too hard, we can actually get in our own way.

As an example of this, Shelly and I have signed a contract to buy a small horse. As I look back on repparttar 123753 eight week process, I realize that it could have been a very trying experience, involving incompetent real estate agents holding up other decisions and plans, and repparttar 123754 tension and fears that normally accompanies this type of major purchase and change in lifestyle.
