Fake IT Till You Make It

Waiting for any external force to awaken our joy and happiness is precisely what keeps us lacking in joy and happiness. Happiness is a choice we make and must continue to make.But what do you do when the conditions of your life aren't exactly joyful?

I recommend faking it till you make it. In other words, if you can't find the strength within, awaken it from without.

Smile. It feels good. When the muscles in your face contract, endorphins are released into your blood stream, giving you that good feeling. Whether or not the smile is caused by the sight of your lover or because you're holding a pen in your mouth like a bone (try it out for yourself), the body perceives that you are smiling, and it does its part.

Today, be happy like it's your job.

I LOVE YOU, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

The month of September is ruled by the planet Venus, the planet of love and beauty - two things we don't see enough of in others. You know that person at the office that rubs you the wrong way? The cashier at the market who's always angry? The bully who pushed you around on the playground when you were a kid? They all have love and beauty within, and perhaps even without. Can you see it?

If you can't, it only means you're human. But we're here to go against our natures. So look at those nasty, hateful people in your life and seek the love and beauty. Doing so can help you correct the negativity from all of the Mondays of the past year.

Want to take it even further? Spend time reminding people of their own love and beauty.

100% SOLUTION

Have you ever had a problem for which you couldn't find a solution?

Me neither. But if I did, I'd follow the advice of the great sages, Rather than bust your head trying to work it out, focus on the areas where you DO have clarity.
Do more of the things you're good at. Sing more of the songs you know. Be more of who you are. And let the clarity you do have break the walls you can't climb over.

And remember, use this day to correct all of the year's past days.

KEEPING SCORE

In relationships, at work, in life in general, we all do it. Sure, I can hear you thinking, “I am not a vindictive person.” But how many times have you said to yourself, “I am not gonna let him get away with that!?” We all do it to a certain extent, keeping a tally of who owes us and who we owe – in a bad way.

This is ungodly because it’s not up to us to dole out rewards and punishments, it’s up to our creator.

Today, if your buttons get pushed, remember, it’s not your problem. You have more important things to think about. And it’s not about, “He’ll get his.” It’s about the fact that your time and energy are too valuable to be angry, hateful and resentful. Next. Move on. The laws of cause and effect are at work, for all of us.

LOVE YOUR GIFTS

All of us are blessed with various gifts. We need to take time to appreciate these gifts, so they will remain with us. Through appreciation, we can avoid feeling that we are missing out on something or that we lack what others have, thereby wasting or losing the gifts that we do have.Today, awaken within yourself a proactive energy force of appreciation to help protect and preserve all that you hold dear.

We’ve got it all backwards.

We keep ourselves busy with the 1% physical world in order to fulfill lacks that are actually spiritual. If we’re lonely or are feeling bad about ourselves, what do we do? We try to make ourselves feel good by finding a better job, finding new friends, making plans to do something fun, etc. But the lack we feel is in the spiritual world, not here! Feeling a lack of friendship or lack of love and respect are spiritual things – it’s not about the physical world. Find that one area of life you’re looking to trade in for a better ‘fix’. Instead of leaving it behind, see what you can do to “fix” yourself instead.

There's Beauty In Simplicity

There’s beauty in simplicity, ever wondered how true it is? Well to some, it might not be but to me and some others it is. I always wonder why people go through the stress of achieving things, when there are easier ways out. The Israelites from Egypt traveled to the Promised Land for 40years when they could have gone there in two weeks. They kept on going in circles because of their sins against God. Funny enough, they knew what God wanted and which was obey him. For some reason I wondered why they just didn’t do that and get what they wanted. Instead they did the opposite. Wow! They surely traveled. Did you know that the crop of those that left Egypt never saw the Promised Land because of stubbornness?

Computer Giants Apple Inc. is adjudged better than Microsoft, but who makes all the money-its Bill and his crew. Rolex and Omega are sophisticated watches but somehow Swatch wrist watches seem to be worn by everyone. This goes to show that it is not how far but how well.

Simply beautiful is a reflection of how we can achieve more by doing less in our daily lives. I enjoin you all to walk with me all the way.

Welcome aboard!
