Hope and belief are two of the most important elements for success. For manifesting and living your dreams. Without hope or belief in yourself, your dreams are only fantasies. Sad wishes.
How do we get that genuine hope and belief in ourselves – in our possibilities – when we're feeling down, sad, small and afraid? Consider who you're hanging out with. What kind of friendships do you have? What do your friends and family tell you? Are you hanging around with people who put you down, belittle you, don't take you seriously, are jealous and insecure about your success or your aspirations? Are you spending time with someone who tells you that you can't do it? That you should be more “practical” or more “realistic” and not have pipe dreams? Stop spending time with that person! Stop accepting those messages! They are small-minded and fearful. Unless you want to be like them – you must separate from them and spend time with and listen to those that actually, genuinely believe in you and your potential. You need positive people and positive influence if you want to change yourself and transform your life. It's as simple as that. Until your self-concept changes, nothing else changes. Sometimes people fall into the habit of only hanging out with others who are worse off than themselves. That way they can feel like they have some value, some self-esteem, or some positive influence. They might get some gratification, or some appreciation from people and that feels good. And of course, giving to others – selfless service is divine and is very important, both for yourself and for the world.... But if this is your community, and you, with all your own inner demons, fears, insecurities and self-doubts are the most positive person in that community – then how are you going to evolve and rise above your self-limiting beliefs? Every teacher needs a teacher. Every healer needs a healer. Every visionary needs a mentor. There are no exceptions. When someone you respect truly believes in you more than you believe in yourself - then you know you've found someone you can learn from. When you begin to absorb their positive image of you and you begin to do that for yourself, you will grow and your life will change for the better. You are only limited by your own self-concept. Cultivate a community of like-minded people, others that you can learn from, teachers that can guide you on a path of expansion and personal growth. Belief is powerful. Hope is powerful. Anything is possible if you TRULY believe in yourself! In 24 years of counseling and coaching people with a myriad of apparent obstacles and life issues, the common denominator is always the same: Unresolved emotional trauma. Now, before you dismiss this as irrelevant to you, let me define what I mean by "trauma": Any past emotional event (since birth), that you were not able to control, that is uncomfortable to talk about, or that still evokes some negative emotion, or that stands out more vividly in your memory than other memories of that same age. If you are still angry with someone who hurt you in the past...or if you still cringe uncomfortably remembering an embarrassing moment... or if you get teary when you talk about someone you've lost... .or if you get anxious and heavy feelings in the chest just by focusing on a past event...these are all signs of old emotions that you have not released. In short, there is no one who does not have past traumas, as life itself is traumatic. Our loved one's die. We face divorce. Our children scare the hell out of us when they get hurt. We might have grown up in a family where we experienced some form of abuse or neglect, or we may have witnessed violence done to someone else. We are embarrassed by insensitive teachers. We lose jobs, and friends. We have health crises. We have regrets. We have trouble forgiving ourselves. We hold onto resentments. We all have emotional memories that we can't let go of, yet these things do nothing to enhance our lives. They weigh us down and trouble the mind and cause stress and fear. When we push them down far enough, our past traumas can manifest as depression or anxiety or addiction or anger. And many of us don't even realize it. It is an unfortunate fact of human nature that we prefer to suffer and hold onto the past because it's familiar and even comforting... but the idea letting it go... of a future without that familiar suffering is terrifying and unknown.What is certain in life is change. Everything in life is impermanent. But we are terrified of change because when we change, we have to face the unknown. The more we cling to what's familiar, the more we suffer when life takes an unexpected turn. Sometimes life forces us to let go. Life is full of those experiences, and they stay with us, either consciously or unconsciously influencing our future decisions and our feelings. Our present reality, and the reality we project into our future is only as free and unfettered, as we are free of our past. And the past has a funny way of sticking to us, (whether we are aware of it or not). The problem with mainstream psychology as embraced by modern culture, is that it is largely ineffective in helping us to truly let go of what haunts us. What's more, most of us have unconsciously embraced some inaccurate and damaging assumptions about how to deal with the past. Here are some of the most common ones: 1. "The past is what made me who I am - I don't want to let go of my past hurts, because I'm proud of them - those are my victories. " 2. "If I let go of my grief about this loved one, I am letting go of them... I have to keep this pain because it shows how much I love them. (If I let go of this pain it means I will forget them, or dishonor them)." 3. "It's not possible to ever forget that... it's too big, too bad, and too deeply ingrained in my mind. I will always have strong negative feelings about what happened." The truth is this:
It is possible to permanently release even the most painful emotions about the past, and to remove the intensity from virtually any trauma memory, no matter how vivid or strong the emotion is. The best tool I have found for making this possible, is EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), a meridian-based healing technique that now has over 60 peer reviewed studies demonstrating it's efficacy. Commonly know as "Tapping," this simple but powerful self-healing method is both practical as a sort of emotional first aid, as well as a transformational tool that can be used with the guidance of a trained coach, therapist or practitioner to fully release what holds you back from your true potential, and let your authenticity shine. As I drove to work this morning, I gave myself a little pep talk. I do that sometimes as I prepare for the client I'll be sitting with for the next hour. They're coming for answers. For peace. For connection. For understanding. For compassion. For love. They come for solutions, for a way out of emotional pain, for help finding The Thing that will fix it all. And as I have done many times before, I remembered (again) the most important thing - in fact the only thing that I have to offer anyone. And that is to be Present, Awake, and Completely Alive in this very moment. It is the only place where true connection exists - with myself - with the world - and with my client. And it is all that matters. We spend our lives looking for happiness in every place except the one place where it can actually be found. Here, in this moment, right now.No big revelation you may say. Countless books already written about this simple fact. Be Here Now, The Power of Now, Wherever You Go, There You Are.... But really, how many people actually fully accept this as truth? And how many actually embrace this Truth and live it? I could throw away every psychology and self-help book I've ever read, and take just this one profound lesson, and this alone would be enough to form the basis for everything I have to offer my clients. Whether they're depressed, or anxious, or stressed out, or looking for their soul mate, or trying to find satisfaction in their job, or improve their golf game, or just have more fun in life. The answer is really the same. If you can't have it NOW, you never will! If you can't accept the fact that there is absolutely nothing outside of you that will give you the happiness or peace of mind that you are searching for, then you will keep on searching for the rest of your life... looking for the thing that will finally make you happy. And you will never find it -- until you finally stop and surrender. When you give up, you wake up. If it's hard to do on your own, then look for the people you know that are in that zone. And spend as much time around them as possible. You'll recognize them by the little gleam in their eyes. The genuine kindness they exude. The feeling of peace and acceptance you feel from them. You will feel a loss of the sense of time pressure when you connect with them, because they are not functioning in "time" but are content and present with you in the moment. Hang out with them. It's contagious. And remember that even those people that seem like they're "there" and you are not - like they figured it all out, and you're left behind - the truth is, they keep on forgetting too, just like you do. Maybe they're just one step ahead of you. You can help each other to remember. We all need a little help. Not to get something outside of us, but just to be reminded that we already have it. We ARE it. Ben Schwarcz is a Coach, advanced EFT Tapping Practitioner, teacher and Psychotherapist in Santa Rosa, CA, specializing in trauma release and Peak Performance Coaching. Ben can be reached at 707-326-5566 or through his websites: www.tapping-coach.com and www.alternativedepressiontherapy.com The MOST important Question - Part 2 Last year I wrote a newsletter about "The Most Important Question." A lot of people expressed strong feelings about that, some of them feeling moved to make a change, others feeling some pressure to figure things out, but in any case, it stirred up some feelings. So I felt it would be good to write more on this very important subject. Most people find that once they ask themselves this question, they suddenly have more questions, or they feel huge resistance - like a big mental block - preventing them from answering it. This question, that holds so much power to change your life, yet can seem so difficult to answer and can create so much inner confusion is this: "WHAT DO I REALLY WANT?" It's an easy question. But we find a million reasons why we can't, or wont answer it honestly or completely.... What does your mind do when you ask yourself, "What do I really want?" If you're like Most people, you are probably afraid to answer this question. Your fear might show up as confusion, indecision, or anxiety. There may be a belief that answering this question will require you to give up something, or make a big sacrifice, or disappoint someone. It can be very elusive. Your mind might go blank when you try to answer this question. But once you know what you REALLY want, and when you are crystal clear about it, all hesitation, doubt, guilt, and confusion disappears and is replaced by a feeling of motivation and energy. So ask yourself, "What do I truly want?" And just observe what comes up. What is likely to reveal itself is your fear. You see, we are not used to asking ourselves what we want and then being uncompromisingly committed to an answer. When we ask ourselves what we want, we tend to think of all the things we DON'T want. Or we have a feeling of what we want, but feel like we don't deserve to have that. Or we think it's unrealistic or grandiose to ask for what we really want. Or we uncover a core belief that we will always be disappointed and it's too painful to think big. Or we think of the people who would not understand or might even try to talk us out of what we want. Or we might feel it's actually dangerous to reach for what you want. Maybe the cost is too great. Or your fears might come up so fast that your mind wont even formulate a thought or vision of what you want - it will just shut down before it's out of the gate. What do all of these internal conflicts have in common? They are all based on fear. And they are all beliefs. Your beliefs. One of the most important lessons that I have been learning and continue to learn, and to teach is this: Your entire life experience is based upon your beliefs. The people in your life, and the ways that they appear... The circumstances you find yourself in.... The "good luck" and the "bad luck" that shows up in your life.... The quality of your relationships... The feelings you have about your life and the meaning you give to it... It is all based on your beliefs. Your concept of yourself. Your concept of your world. So if you can accept that... if your intuition is saying "yes, I know that is true" - then the next question is "now what am I supposed to do about it?" You've put a lot of time and effort into working on your issues, soul searching, self-examining and sorting out your feelings. But those core beliefs are deep. They're stubborn. That's why they've been there most of your life and they endure. Really changing your core beliefs is an important process that requires time, attention and commitment. For now, I am simply going to name two very important ways to keep moving towards positive transformation. 1. Always be releasing. 2. Do and think about the things that feel good to you - as much as possible. Releasing what? Releasing negative emotions, negative thoughts, and negative expectations. You can do this with EFT Tapping, with Meditation, with the Sedona Method or simply by choosing to let go of any negative feeling or thought whenever they appear. Do what feels good? I don't mean just doing what doesn't feel bad... (Like staying in bed because it feels better than going to work) I mean - what feels really good to you? What makes you feel healthy? What opens your heart? What kind of thoughts feel good? (This also obviously doesn't mean do unhealthy, reckless or addictive things that give you a quick high and then leave you feeling miserable afterwards). If you are sitting around worrying, agitating, arguing with yourself or others in your mind - you know this is only creating more of that low energy reality. If you allow yourself to dream, to be inspired, to go to the places you want to go and spend time with the people you want to spend time with - then that's good - and it will lead to more goodness. Hope, beauty, kindness, creativity, nature... these things raise your vibration. No matter what your situation, no matter how down and out you might seem to be, there is always another choice you can make to let yourself feel a little bit better. And finally, one last tip that can be one of the most powerful tools for transformation: Write it down. Write down what you want, as if you have it already. Write down your goals - phrased as if they have already come to pass. Keep it simple, and just write it down. It should feel good to write down what you want in this way. It should make you smile a little bit. It will help your imagination to wake up, and will allow you to actually start to feel the feeling of having what you want. You can start today. Just write it down. Even little things that you want - like situations that you are worried about... write down the positive outcome that you want and the feelings you want to feel. A daily practice of this is extremely powerful. Don't show your writing to anyone, except perhaps your most trusted and supportive friend. And if you are ready to get help to go deeper and truly change your core beliefs... Transformational Coaching is a way to embark on the quest to answer this most important question, release the unconscious fears that block your clarity, and step onto the path of personal freedom, purpose and power. If you've never tried EFT with me - or if you're ready for a few more rounds - there's no time like the Present. Schedule an appointment today! 707-326-5566 The most radical thing you can do in this world is to be mindfully present in the moment. There are always two choices to make at any moment - the choice to join with the endlessly complex drama of the apparent world... or the choice to stop and breathe.
Did you just stop and take a deep breath? We always have this choice, and if your mind is half as unruly as mine, you need to make this choice often and repeatedly if you want to create more peace in your life. Most of us are habituated to complicating our lives, acting out of avoidance and fear, or impulsive pleasure seeking (also a way of avoiding pain and fear). The ego - that part of us that is the "I" - the source of all misery, bad habits, searching for happiness in all the wrong places... that ego will do anything it can to stay in control and keep you running from your real Self. Being present in the moment moves you a giant step closer to your real Self, and diminishes the ego. The ego does not like that - as it is a threat to its existence... and of course "it" being you (the false you), it will create new fears, new desires, new distractions and projections onto the world and other people, in order to keep you confused, lost, and outwardly focused. So remember to take a good deep breath. Remember there is no emergency, the house is not on fire and you are actually, at this very instant, completely safe and perfectly okay. In fact at this very instant, you most likely do not really need anything at all that you don't already have. Fear lives in future and past concerns, and we worry to give ourselves a sense of control. In the present moment, there is nothing to do, nothing needed but to BE. Fear begins to evaporate the moment we welcome it, and stop fighting and resisting it. The word “Rhythm” originated in the ancient Sanskrit language of India from the word Hridayam, which means Heart. The heartbeat is the original rhythm that is imprinted in our soul. From our earliest perceptions of sound and vibration we had our mother’s constant heartbeat with us… and the beating of our own heart began when we were only a few weeks old in our mother’s womb. Rhythm has the power to connect us with both ourselves, as well as with our fellow human beings. It also connects us to our Great Mother, the earth. Drumming is grounding - it brings us into deeper alignment with the body, our roots and our connection to the physical earth. When we drum together, we move together, we vibrate together, we feel together, and in that togetherness is the potential for great joy, love and even states of bliss. We all yearn for that blissful love and connection, even if we’ve forgotten what’s been missing. Drumming as a group - be it a group of 5, 10 or 50 - is a magnificent way to create real connection and rapport without ever having to say a word. Communication happens through making rhythm together - making music. It is automatically collaborative, intuitive, and empowering. Those that are normally shy and reserved or reluctant to speak, can find a different voice through the drum, while those that are normally compulsive talkers, can learn to listen, to harmonize with others and to share their space. The facilitation of group drumming requires sensitivity and awareness to the group dynamic - to the personalities of the group. Just as a group therapist looks to create balance, by drawing out those that are holding back, and helping to contain those participants that are too loose and boundaryless, a drumming facilitator influences the group in much the same way. Even without necessarily singling out any particular person, the facilitator, through demonstration and the sharing of basic tips of etiquette, can encourage and empower those who are timid and self-conscious about being heard. The emphasis is never on strict technique or music theory or performance. The idea is spontaneity, natural and intuitive expression, and deep listening (not with the critical ear, but with the whole body). Teaching drumming in this context creates a feeling of safety, acceptance and comfort. By emphasizing the importance of listening, over the importance of being heard, an important lesson is experienced. Even the more aggressive, loud, and overbearing players, can begin to be more aware, more sensitive and more conscious. They can begin to understand that the connection they seek can only be experienced when they pay attention to hearing everyone in the circle and forget their own ego. This can be a profound lesson. I can think of no person or population of people that cannot benefit from group drumming and the deep lessons, connection and healing that it offers. I have drummed in hospitals with cancer survivor’s groups, with women’s groups, with men’s groups, with adolescents in residential treatment centers for emotional disturbances, with school children with special needs and learning disabilities. I’ve drummed with kids that have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD). I’ve drummed with addicts in recovery. I’ve drummed with groups of teens in psychiatric hospitals. I’ve drummed with people at outdoor music festivals, and in warehouses in San Francisco with large groups of adventurers seeking more soulful community, and with elderly men and women in Senior Care homes in suburbia. And despite their differences, the same beautiful simplicity and connections take place. An 85 year old man in a wheelchair smiles like an innocent child. A young woman with social anxiety closes her eyes and feels the warmth of love and connection in her heart as she joins with the collective energy of the group. A child who normally feels excluded, awkward and good at nothing, finds that he has rhythm, and actually influences those around him in a positive way while drumming. A 20-year-old hipster can connect with a middle aged mom, and a 30-year-old insurance broker, and all can blissfully jam together without any feeling of awkwardness. The deep lessons learned through drumming are both subtle and profound. And it is nearly impossible for a neophyte to leave a drum circle without some new insight, self-awareness or life altering insight. This is true both for experienced musicians as well as folks who never thought they could carry a tune, or dance to save their lives. Here’s one of my favorite drumming experiences, and one which is worth gently pointing out to new drummers: You feel self-conscious having never drummed before, so you are drumming rather softly. You don’t want to just sit there doing nothing, because that would be even more awkward, but you don’t want anyone to really hear you because you think you can’t play well enough. You’re listening to everyone else, just like the leader suggested, and you’re playing so softly, you can’t really even hear yourself anyway. You see your hands moving on the drum head in front of you, but it’s more like just feeling the vibration than actually hearing it. You start to get comfortable, even though you think you’re just faking being part of the group rhythm. Surely nobody else can tell, and they certainly can’t hear your mistakes because you’re playing so softly. After some time passes, you get a little tired and decide to stop. Many of the people have their eyes closed or are gazing into the distance, or looking down at their own drums, so who would notice anyway? But then something amazing happens. Almost immediately after you stop, everyone else gets softer and one by one, the other players fade into total silence. You thought you were completely insignificant, unimportant and unnoticed… thought you had no part in this spontaneous symphony and had no impact on these experienced drummers with their fancy beats. But you were wrong. Your every move contributes to the whole. You are as much a part of this group consciousness as anyone else in the circle. And you brought the whole group to a gentle stop without even meaning to…. As you sit in that supreme silence, hands buzzing, ears gently ringing with the eternal hum of atoms, smiles on faces, breathing deep, you realize why you came here. Your innocence is restored, and in this timeless moment you know you are among true friends, and your laughter says it all. LEARN MORE ABOUT DRUMMING THERAPY There is one question that holds the power to change your whole life. One question that is incredibly obvious, simple and easy to ask yourself. But it's one of the most difficult questions for most people to answer. The reason that most people struggle with doubt, ambivalence, inner conflict, guilt, pessimism, resentment and disillusionment, is that they can't answer this question, or they simply don't ask themselves. So what's the million dollar question? "WHAT DO I REALLY WANT?" It's an easy question. But we find a million reasons why we can't, or wont answer it honestly or completely.... What does your mind do when you ask yourself, "What do I really want?" If you're like Most people, you are afraid to answer this question. Your fear might show up as confusion, indecision, or anxiety. There may be a belief that answering this question will require you to give up something, or make a big sacrifice, or disappoint someone, or leave someone. It can be very elusive. Your mind might go blank when you try to answer this question. But once you know what you REALLY want, and when you are crystal clear about it, all hesitation, doubt, guilt, and confusion disappears and inspiration takes hold. So ask yourself, "What is my heart's desire? What do I truly want?" (hint: the ever-changing ego-driven desires are not the same as your heart's desire) You can start this process any time! And if you are ready to get help to go deeper... Transformational Coaching is a way to embark on the quest to answer this most important question, release the unconscious fears that block your clarity, and step onto the path of personal freedom, purpose and power. I have often said that if you don't have a spiritual practice - a way of staying centered in your own consciousness, that the world will devour you. Having just returned from a 10-day meditation retreat, I am reminded of how much we have to numb ourselves on a daily basis just to live in the everyday world. In prolonged silence and in nature we begin to vibrate differently, we begin to sense the world around us, and the more subtle world inside and everywhere, the energy of life fills our awareness. In contrast, the noise, the mindless pace, the anger, stress, and materialism of the modern "civilized world" looks more insane then it ever did when returning to it from the top of the mountain.
The only real truth is what lies within, and the only way to get there is through dedication to inner truth. For me, meditation is and has always been the deepest path to the core of my existence. I read a great quote today that was very simple, practical and reassuring. It basically was this: When you receive a technique for meditation, the greatest obstacle to your progress is to get discouraged because you are not getting "results" and then to quit your daily practice. It is a requirement, and a sign of your commitment to your greater self, to have the discipline and perseverance to meditate daily. It is practice, just as with anything we learn to do well. The rewards are infinitely greater than anything we can conjure up with our own minds, so dive deep, be consistent and choose to stay on the path. As we move through the darkest time of the year, let us be guided by our deep faith in the wisdom of our inner heart. Om Mane Padme Hum - May We Know the Self as the Clear Light within the Heart. Coaching or Psychotherapy can be used as a catalyst for creating your intention to seek the truth within. We all need reminders, support, encouragement and inspiration to keep on when life's obstacles make us forget who we are. "The remnants of pain left behind by every strong negative emotion that is not fully faced, accepted, and then let go of join together to form an energy field that lives in the very cells of your body. It consists not just of childhood pain, but also painful emotions that were added to it later... It is the emotional pain that is your unavoidable companion when a false sense of self is the basis of your life." -- Eckhart Tolle
Any negative emotions that we bury, suppress, deny, avoid, or hate within ourselves can be seeds that grow gremlins - nasty little creatures within us - often seeming to have an intelligence of their own, and intent on making us thoroughly miserable. They try to make us sick, guilty, ashamed, fearful, enraged. As long as we ignore them, or battle with them, they dig their teeth in even more. The idea or notion of fighting your inner demons is as old as humanity. Regardless of your beliefs or how you choose to understand the idea of "demons," one thing is for certain: what we bury in ourselves will eventually come back to bite us and can attack with a vengeance. There is a wonderful little self-help book by Rick Carson called Taming Your Gremlin. One thing I like about it is that it contains lots of ugly little cartoon drawings of people's various "gremlins." They usually look like little gargoyles or goblins. There is some humor in seeing them as these super ugly little critters that are the embodiment of the parts of ourselves we reject and deny in ourselves. They are exaggerations of our negative self-images. Sometimes they seem to be quite alive as separate entities within us, even on a physical level. My clients often describe this in very graphic terms. Sometimes the gremlin can seem like the exact opposite of every good quality that you feel is your real self. Rather than get freaked out by this and run away from it, or taking pills or drugs to numb ourselves to the pain and fear caused by this little gremlin, Rick Carson encourages a more introspective approach. Like any negative thought or feeling, the only way to let go is to first accept and acknowledge. A gremlin is like a problem child, having a raging tantrum. Trying to get our attention, either by inducing us to act out it's negative emotions (basically possessing us)... or by making us physically sick, weak or lethargic. The bottom line is - it wants our attention. If we try to ignore it, it screams louder. If we fight with it, it gets that negative attention and feeds off it, growing larger. Tapping, meditation, journaling, and art can all be powerful methods of making peace with our gremlins. First we identify it. Then we let it speak and give it some acceptance and attention. And then we let it transform naturally into an ally - or at least a weird little friend that stops causing us harm. Learn how to free yourself from these inner demons with EFT Tapping and Meditation. Tapping is a powerful mind-body technique that engages the energy system in order to assist the brain in letting go of habitual and automatic negative patterns of thought and emotion. Remember, tapping normally begins by tapping out the negative stuff - voicing the painful thoughts and feelings as you tap. That is what loosens it's grip on the mind and body. After that, you proceed to tap the positive statements. Do as many positive rounds as you want. If it feels good, do more of it. Always end on a positive note. Stay tuned for more tapping tips and ideas to lighten up! As we become more and more aware of how we are the artists of our own reality, we have to take more responsibility for what shows up. Some people spend a lot of time visualizing, writing down goals, writing narratives of the life story they desire to live... and yet when those things actually begin to show up, it can be scary, even terrifying. It's easy to slam the door shut when opportunity knocks. But when we get in touch with our heart's desire and hold our mental and emotional focus on that, it does begin to move towards us, whether we know it or not. The life of your dreams is probably not going to just descend on you like an LSD trip. It's more likely to begin with a phone call, or a text, or a knock at the door. It might be a chance encounter with an old friend, or an email from a coworker. It could be an invitation to an event. If you're not paying attention, or if you don't really believe that all your visualizing and praying might actually work, you are likely to overlook these little windows of opportunity. So practice saying yes.
It's not that we shouldn't use discernment. It's OK to say no when something really doesn't feel right, but be careful not to respond out of fear. Over-indulging in fear will shut you and your life down. Accepting an invitation can be the turning point in your life. Learn to listen to your intuition. It comes from down deep. It's not head talk, but heart talk that speaks the deepest truth. EFT Tapping is a great way to work with your subconscious fears and resistance to getting and having what you want. It can be used to your benefit in 3 main ways: 1. To remove the fear or resistance to positive change. 2. To program your mind to focus on and orchestrate the life you are seeking. 3. To manage your fear and self-doubt when good things begin to actually show up. In short, I recommend using EFT Tapping to remove your self-sabotaging beliefs and fears that block your success.... and then to clarify your real goals and desires... and then to keep you from freaking out when life begins to show up. Just remember, you're just an architect - an artist - you're not the the manufacturer of reality. Your little ego is not Master of the Universe! You are just directing the flow, not creating the river. Don't take yourself so seriously. Play and have fun any chance you get, and know that all things change - both pleasure and pain - so don't cling to any of it. Your only real and lasting bliss resides inside you. |
