Visualizing More Happiness

Believe it or not, your life experience is created through the power of your imagination. Think about it. If your child is two hours late getting home, you probably will play out many scenarios in your mind, frightening yourself with possible images. If you are planning your next vacation on the beach in Mexico you probably see the beach in your mind as you make the booking. You are using your imagination all of the time, in everything that you do. When you remember past events, you are imagining. The same is true when you think about the future.

What Can a Car Wash Teach you About Life?

If you are like most people you get in your car, start it and either adjust it from the "park" position and put it in "reverse" or "drive", right? You are either moving forward or in reverse. In much the same way in life, we are either moving forward, towards our goals, or being distracted by things which are coming between us and our goals. And sometimes, just as in driving, you may have to go in reverse in order to move forward. It is worth noodling this through and holding ourselves accountable after all, we are in the driver's seat.

What Do I Want For Xmas?

Most people would say there is nothing they can't live without apart from food, water and shelter. I found something special that I don't want to live without and I don't care if it is a luxury. I want one for Xmas! As I have become older I have not asked for much from anyone, in actual fact a lot less than when I was younger. The benefit of having 5 children that are all adults is that three times a year they ask me "What do you want?" Those times are simply Mother's Day, my birthday and Xmas but it gets harder and harder each time to make suggestions to be honest.

Stand Up For Your Beliefs and Don’t Falter

I’ve always believed you must stand up for your beliefs and don’t falter. I wouldn’t necessarily say I would never change my opinion about anything if I found I had gotten some wrong information or misjudged something. However once I have checked things out, listened to some experts and even gotten proof about a certain subject I would stick with my opinion no matter what. I’m a strong believe in alte ative and natural methods for healing illnesses and diseases. This belief came about the day I went with my wife to her oncologist when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Confusion in Life

Confusion in Lifern[Vinod Anand] In this world, you usually have two types of options. In Sanskrit the word dvividha means, two options. If you play around with this word, it also sounds as duvidha, which means confusion. The more options you have, the more confusion you face. For example, when you have food at home, and there is only vegetable and daal, you will have no confusion as to what to eat and what to leave. But if you are attending a wedding, where you have a lot of choice, you will also have lots of confusion. What to eat? What not to eat?

Designing Your Future

As human beings, we are often pushed by what we perceive as our issues. Equally important, we are also pulled forward by our dreams, visions and inspirations. Often, we tend to focus on our issues due to their pressure, and don't invest in the process of creation. Without asking the question: “What do I really want?” and, without taking the time to reflect and discover what is true for us, we are likely to repeat childhood patterns of living someone else’s plan for us.
