You Are Not a Victim!

There are no victims on this ride called life, only participants. You are a participant in every life drama you create or co-create. Victim and victimizer are co-creators in a life drama. Both contract in a life drama, be it popular or unpopular, successful or unsuccessful, fortunate or unfortunate, etc.You attract everything in your life, what you want and what you do not want. You attract what you do not want due to negation. The Universe negates all negative language (i.e. no, not, non, and don’t) so when you are thinking about or saying what you don’t want, i.e. “I don’t want this!”, the Universe is hearing you say “I want this!” and gives you this desire. Even though you do not want a thing, i.e. negative thing, it is still a desire...

Many people find it very difficult to expand their realities. It is absolutely essential to keep on expanding your view of life. No doubt, this is not easy to do, but is very essential if you want to move ahead in life. One should keep on expanding one’s reality by regularly taking a stock of what they believe in, what they perceive and think about the world, what they want to attract.

What you experienced in the past, the world that is around you now is all a result of what you have gone through till now. The world you saw before you actually experienced it is what results in your world today. This includes the situations you land up in and the experiences you have. If you find it difficult to expand reality about money, then you may have a money problem...

1. Take Small Steps

A baby learns to crawl before it can walk, and it learns to walk before it can run.

Most people expect rapid life changes. If they’re wasting their time at a soul-sucking job, they expect success and fame within six months.

I’m not saying it isn’t possible, because it is, but in most cases it’s not going to happen.

People who need life changes now don’t realize that it’s not going to make them happy anyway.

All they want is their dream of a future without any problems. When they get there, reality sets in, so they set another goal.

And on it goes.

Take small steps. Enjoy the process, and have fun.

Those small steps will eventually evolve into quantum leaps.

2. Take Quantum Leaps

Something I’ve learned in my own journey is that changes can happen in an instan...

Original post by: – Joi (“Joy”)

When you read (or hear) the words “bouncing back,” what do you think of? I suppose it’s because I’ve had three daughters, but when I see/hear the words, I initially think of “bouncing back” from a 9 month pregnancy, labor, and recovery.  I imagine the time and effort it takes to “feel whole” again.

This imagery can actually accompany anything that we need to “bounce back” from.

I remember when my husband’s mother passed away.  When we went to a ballgame soon after and my husband was taking business calls as he ate popcorn and got ready to throw out the first pitch, I thought “he’s returning to a type of normalcy.”  Put another way, he was “bouncing back...

“You must choose between your attachments and happiness.”
~Adyashanti

I used to live in a world of “if only.” If only the right partner would show up or I wouldn’t get caught in traffic or my family life would improve. It was an endless life of arrogance – and frustration. If only things would be the way I want them to be. Like I had any control over any of it.

Yes, I was able to enjoy myself at times, but I was attached to all kinds of outcomes, large and small, and I suffered for it. Every time I wanted something to happen in a certain way, I set myself up for frustration, stress, and disappointment.

In those years, disappointment was my middle name. I was really tired of it, but I just couldn’t figure out how to be happy.

Joyful Non-Attachment

Fast forward to now, and I ca...

“Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you.”
~Jean Paul Sartre

Still plagued by your past? Then this post is for you. But only if you want to be free, only if you want to know the open-heartedness and enthusiasm for life that come with making peace with the past.

As you probably know, sometimes events from the past have a mind of their own. Memories keep recirculating when all you want is for them to disappear. You are way more emotionally reactive than you know is good for you. And you are limited by distrust, neediness, and a stunted view of what is possible for you.

If you know your past is still nipping at your heels, read on...

“When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.” ~Honore de Balzac

You know what that voice in your head says…

You can’t do it. You’ll never be good enough. You’re going to fail.

This voice taunts you whenever you set a goal. It criticizes you when life gets difficult. It beats you down when you struggle to stand up against its running commentary.

You know you shouldn’t let self-doubt bother you, but it’s a sneaky critter. Sometimes, you just can’t contain it and it slips past your barriers.

And self-doubt is greedy. When it’s loose, it devours your confidence, strips logic and reason from your mind, and steals happiness from your heart. In return, it leaves you with only fear and insecurity.

You try to remove self-doubt by forcing yourself to “think positive,...

Body image is both the mental picture that you have of your body, and how you perceive yourself when you look in a mirror. Self- esteem is how you value and respect yourself as a person—it is the “real” opinion that you have of yourself. Self-esteem impacts how you take care of yourself, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
