Forget About Miracles
Have you ever found yourself praying for a miracle? It's usually when your back is against the wall. A loved one is sick. You're in extreme physical pain or have been diagnosed with a medical condition that sounds horrible. A mate has left you or done something that you react to with pain. Maybe you or your mate have lost a job or lost your future to the stock market.
Whatever the case may be, you can stop praying for a miracle. It's not something that's bestowed on you.
Beautiful healings and turnarounds can and will happen when you flip the switch on your focus. Shifting your perception to what's possible can be a very quick process or it can be gradual.
The time it takes will not matter so much to you, once you let go of needing your outcome to happen quickly. When you feel even the slightest bit of emotional or physical relief, the world will begin to feel like a magical place again.
When you appreciate the fact that there has been a small shift in the way you feel, the tangible results will follow. The key is not to get frustrated if you don't see immediate results. This will slow the entire process down.
Now... back to the beginning. How do you shift your focus when you're asking for that miracle? Any thing or thought you can grab onto that will create even a smidge of relief can begin the process. A conversation with someone who is very comforting and uplifting is of great value. Bodywork or a walk in nature is also a good start.
Here are some thoughts that I find valuable:
- This too shall pass.
- The Universe/God is with me.
- I am asking for help and the Universe always responds. It's my job to let it in.
- Inner being, what can I do to feel a tiny bit of relief?
- I'm going to let myself be scared or hurt for a little bit and then I'll work my way to better feeling thoughts.
- What are five things that are working well in my life right now?
- I can have things go my way.
- The Law of Attraction is like having a magic wand. I just have to relax.
- I'm breathing my way into calm.
- The only reason I feel discord is because I've separated myself from my Inner Being.
Hope is a great feeling to reach for at first. Then you'll have to pump up your faith that things will go your way by remembering past experiences where you've succeeded. You can also think about other people who have turned dire situations around. They had to go through the same steps as you to flip their switch to miracles.
When things begin to move in a favorable direction it will feel like magic, but it's just you relaxing into the truth that you are worthy of all good things.
What miracle have you prayed for recently?

A Spiritual Approach to Anger: How to Understand, Appreciate and Heal Your Rage At Its Source (By Ruth L Schwartz)
Just like our organs, our anger is part of us. When we are angry, we have to go back to ourselves and take good care of our anger. We cannot say, 'Go away, anger, I don't want you.' When you have a stomachache, you don't say, 'I don't want you, stomach, go away.' No, you take care of it. In the same way, we have to embrace and take good care of our anger. - Thich Naht Hanh
Anger is a reflexive, protective response which emerges, at least initially, from a primitive part of our being - "primitive" only in the sense that anger has been with us for as long as we have been embodied. It can flare up in an instant at the sight or sound of a threat; then, if inner and outer conditions allow, it can dissipate just as quickly. Anger that has not been distorted by other wounds and confusions is like a guard dog who can bark, snarl and growl very fiercely in the presence of perceived danger, then flop down on the floor and roll on its back to let its belly be petted a few moments later.
Because we live as separate beings in a world of other beings who also perceive themselves as separate, anger is a necessary response to circumstances in which we are encroached-upon or deprived. Of course, in a state of unity consciousness, anger would not exist; in fact, it could not even be conceived of. But in our human lives anger is natural and appropriate, when we can allow it to serve its purpose - the laying-down of a boundary - without emotional complication. It serves a function as basic as the functions of hunger, thirst and sleepiness, all of which exist to ensure that we attend to important needs.
The problem is that in most human beings, anger is no longer an elemental, uncomplicated state. Instead, it has become enormously entangled with other emotions, patterns and imprints: for instance, the pattern of turning against and negating ourselves, which then requires a compensatory lashing-out at others; the pattern of suppressing ourselves and our natural responses, which produces unsustainable states of pressure in the being; the pattern of allowing others to mistreat us, which creates free-floating anger that can poison us and others with its invisible time-release action - and so on.
Most of us, therefore, have some sort of "anger problem." In some of us, that manifests as what appears to be too much anger. We may operate on high alert, responding with instant fury to even the smallest threat, and have great difficulty relaxing our inner being into conditions of ease. This pattern can lead to other patterns; for instance, we might become angry at ourselves for feeling and expressing so much anger toward others. This would then add another step to the dance: 1) Perceived threat, 2) Instant fury at the perceived source of the threat, 3) Immediate fury at the self for experiencing instant fury. Obviously, step three does nothing to facilitate the state of calm openness in which we are most able to contact universal sources of love and compassion; in fact, it locks us even more firmly into the physiological and emotional hyperarousal of anger. This is a very common pattern among survivors of physical trauma, and is often classified in mainstream psychology as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD.)
On the other hand, some of us manifest what appears to be too little anger, failing to react even when others blatantly invade or violate us. Some people even imagine that this is a spiritually advanced way to be. While it is probably true that an enlightened being would be non-reactive in this way, it's safe to say that few if any readers of this article have achieved that degree of enlightenment. Instead, what is usually at work in this response is a different pattern of dance steps: 1) Perceived threat, 2) Instant fury at the perceived source of the threat, 3) Immediate suppression of fury. This anger dance generally leads to states of resignation, depression and internal collapse - and sometimes also to physical illness. While the person who is frequently angry lives in a state of chronic energetic hyperarousal, those who are rarely or never angry live in similar discomfort at the opposite end of the energetic spectrum: chronic hypoarousal, usually experienced as emotional or physical weakness or malaise. This, too, is a very common pattern among trauma survivors.
Of course, there are infinite variations on these patterns and intricate complications that can ensue - for instance, a pattern of using drugs or alcohol to medicate either the hyper- or hypoaroused states; a pattern of "passive-aggressiveness," in which the anger we have attempted to suppress leaks out indirectly; a pattern of perseveration, in which we find ourselves drawn to endlessly revisit or talk about the situations that have produced the anger; a pattern of withdrawal, in which the hyperarousal of anger so frightens or disturbs us that we isolate ourselves in an attempt to avoid it; a pattern of displacement, in which our fear of our own anger leads us to develop phobias, allergies, physical symptoms or other diversionary responses in its place - and many others.
If you ask your spirit guides for help in dispassionately exploring your own response to perceived threats or actual violations, you will easily be able to map out your own most common dance or dances of anger. In and of itself, this mapping can be very helpful in diffusing the emotional charge most of us feel around the topic of anger. When we examine the vast number of ways human beings have twisted and tangled ourselves and each other into painful, angry knots, we can start to take our own relationship to anger less personally.
Beyond that, the work of harmoniously realigning our relationship to anger is the same work described throughout this artical. Assuming full responsibility for our own anger, no matter what others may have done or failed to do, is the stance that enables us to begin this process. Soon we will become able to see that beneath each step in our own personal anger dances, some healing, clearing or energetic correction is needed - perhaps one or many soul retrievals, releasing of imprints, straightening-out of our non-physical posture, or the removal of energetic interference. Thich Naht Hanh advises, "When you are angry, and you suffer, please go back and inspect very deeply the content, the nature of your perceptions. If you are capable of removing the wrong perception, peace and happiness will be restored in you, and you will be able to love the other person again."
The shamanic journey is an extremely powerful tool for understanding and healing your anger at its source. The following notes describe a sequence of four shamanic journeys I took a number of years ago, which helped me dismantle the anger I felt in a specific circumstance, and begin the very necessary healing process which lay beneath it. More often I do only one or two journeys at a time, but as you'll see, in this case, all four were necessary. The entire process of taking the four journeys and writing them down took less than an hour in ordinary-reality time.
Journey #1: I felt angry at a human mentor who I believed was "using" me. My journey question was, What do I need to understand or heal in relation to that anger?
I found myself having to squeeze through a very thin tunnel, and also being strained through a sieve, on my way to the upper world. When I finally got there, I asked my guide what to do with the anger. He said, What anger? I explained. He said it made no more sense to be angry at my mentor than at myself, and made no more sense to be angry at myself than to have any other reaction. Yes, people will "take advantage" if you walk around in the world with the kind of weak spot I've had, but it's like water rushing through a wall that is weak, or has a hole in it. Does it make sense to be angry at the water? Does it make sense to be angry at the wall? Or does it just make sense to see what has occurred, and fix the hole and/or make the wall stronger?
Although I could see the truth of what my guide was saying, I was kind of pissed-off by not being able to hold anyone else responsible, even a little bit. I felt resistance and kept getting distracted. Finally, by following the distraction, I could see that the "wall" is really more like vapor in me, no clear boundary at all. I got that it's because I've given so much of myself away to practically everyone. So I focused on getting more of myself back from all the different sources - family members, ex-lovers, friends. I could feel myself getting stronger, yet I still kept feeling resistance to the process.
Journey #2 - What's all this resistance about, and what needs to happen with it?
I found myself in a cave in the lower world, surrounded by a circle of guides who were praying for me. I felt uncomfortable and thought, Why are they praying for me? Then I realized that my difficulty accepting their attention was part of the problem (i.e. difficulty in receiving,) so I relaxed and let them pray for me. After that, it seemed I needed to have layers of skin peeled off of me by a giant carrot-scraper-type apparatus. As they got peeled off, blue and lavender light got sent in. Then I was taken to a room where I could convalesce. There was a skylight in the room, and again, the bluish and lavender light was streaming in. In the physical world, I started drumming harder, and directly over my body. It felt like something related to the resistance needed to leave me, so that I could really embrace taking full responsibility for myself.
Journey #3 - Check in with the anger, resistance and self-responsibility now.
I went back to the room where part of me was convalescing. She now seemed like a girl of about twelve. She was kind of feverish and writhing around in the bed, not doing too well. I sat down on the side of the bed and just kept her company. At one point I called my guide in to ask if there was anything else that needed to be happening, but I got the message that there wasn't. So I just sat there with her. Images came of different ways she/I had betrayed her/myself - all the times I had sex I didn't want to have, or gave or lent people things or money which I never got back. I felt no judgment toward her or myself, just held these images. Eventually she calmed down; I lay down beside her in the bed and we just looked up at the skylight together. Then we merged - she came into my body - and then it was just me lying there and looking up at the skylight. Then I brought in images of the ways I've been with my mentor - how hard I was trying to cater to her, how eager and in a way desperate I was. I was able to look at that without judgment, as well. That way of being was so deeply imprinted in me, and with her I justified it to myself by saying it was because she was such a force of good in the world, etc., so didn't it make sense to just turn myself over to her needs and wishes and pleasures? But of course it didn't - I could see that now, and stop blaming her for the compulsive way I'd been with her, and also stop blaming her for accepting it. Sure, she was the water that flowed in through the hole in my wall (or the vapors where a wall should have been), and if she were completely healed, she would not have done that. But she isn't, and I'm not, and there's no point in blaming either one of us - the point is just to make a wall, not a fortress, but a sea-wall, where there needs to be one.
Journey #4 - Check in on the status of all of these issues now - wholeness, boundaries, giving, and my relationship to my mentor.
I went to the convalescent room to check on myself there, but my guide came and playfully dragged me out to the edge of the cliff, where we took turns diving and jumping off the cliff, landing on the bottom, then going back up to dive or jump again. Then at some point we were jumping into a deep pool of water instead, and the message seemed to be that all the different kinds of shattering - for instance, the shattering of the water, when we hit it - were necessary. Then I was swimming in the water like an eel and realizing that "boundaries" could operate just the way my skin does in the water. It's not that the water is bad or that I need to "protect myself" from it, it's just that it's not appropriate for it to come inside me, because I have my own chemical makeup which is different from the chemical composition of the water. The boundary of the skin is easy and natural. I can learn to emulate that with my emotional and energetic boundaries.
This series of journeys illustrates many of the healing and teaching methods commonly found in shamanic journeys. In Journey #1, my guide used a metaphor - the image of a wall with a hole in it - to help me see my situation more impersonally, release anger at my mentor and at myself, and move beyond the impulse to blame either one of us. Yet although I was able to begin that process in this journey, my resistance showed that more energetic work was needed.
In Journey #2, my guides initiated several kinds of healing. The first came about as my guides prayed for me, and as I made the internal shift needed in order to receive the healing energy of their prayers. The second healing, in which I was peeled by the giant carrot scraper, is an example of a shamanic healing technique known as dismemberment. Although dismemberment can sometimes appear brutal - this was a relatively mild dismemberment, but even in this one, layers of skin were removed from me - guides use it as part of a compassionate process of energetic cleansing and reconfiguration. My sense is that the energy I called "resistance" was buried beneath my skin, so the "peeling" was necessary in order for me to release it.
The third form of healing in Journey #2 involved the use of blue and lavender light. Each color carries its own healing frequency, and evidently these were the frequencies I needed at this time. My sense is that this light was used both to purify my energy, and then to help me recover from the dismemberment. I believe that my urge to drum over my body in physical reality also came as a directive from my guides; the vibrations of the drum further cleansed me, offering a fourth kind of healing and completing the process of releasing the "resistance" energy.
In Journey #3, it became clear that in addition to the clearing and dismemberment I had experienced in Journey #2, a soul retrieval was taking place. The journey suggests that I experienced some significant soul loss at around age twelve which led to an inability to set or maintain healthy boundaries. Although it was painful to see the ways that that soul loss had led me to betray myself, I was able to maintain compassion both for my younger self and my present-day self, which enabled the lost soul part (the "girl") and I to reunite and become one again. With that part of my soul restored, I was even more able to accept what had occurred with my mentor, and release both her and myself from anger or blame.
Journey #4 suggests that since the necessary healing for this cycle had been completed, it was now time to play! Guides generally have great senses of humor, and journeys often offer teachings in playful forms. In this case, my guide used the experience of jumping and diving into a pool of water to provide me with more understanding about the nature of damage ("shattering,") and the nature of healthy boundaries.

Whose Champion Are You?
When you think of being a champion, what comes to mind? Do you think of winning a competition or earning a title? Do you imagine being awarded a trophy or title and receiving the accolades of an adoring crowd? Let's add two more words and see how the image of champion changes. When you think of being a champion for someone, what comes to mind? Where does the focus go? Who notices? What is the "win"?
At a recent workshop with educators, the focus of our discussions turned to the need of every child to have a champion who believes in them and provides the supports they need until they can believe in themselves. Many kids and teens have been so hurt by their experiences in the world that they react with anger and resist the efforts of those who try to help them. These young people seem to be determined to recreate the abandonment, rejection, and disillusionment that have been their experience in the world. Teachers spoke of their emotional stress as they try to create meaningful connections with these hurting youths and continually experience defiance, hostile resistance, and even volatile eruptions.
Consider the unspoken message in the response of one young man to his teacher when she tried to reach through his anger to let him know how much she cared: "Why should I? You're just going to leave like all the others." His experience was that no one stayed. Teachers didn't stay. His parents were in jail. He had no one but his elderly grandma. When he pushed back against his teacher's attempts to connect with him, he was trying to recreate what he had previously experienced. He needed someone to see him beyond his anger, through the bristling protective shield he had erected, to the young man reacting from a place of emotional pain and needing to be loved, crying out for someone to believe in him no matter what. He needed her to be his champion - to believe in him and to love him unconditionally until he could begin to love and believe in himself.
Who do you know that needs a champion? Who has a gruff, keep-everyone-away layer on the outside that hides the tender being inside? Who reacts and acts out because their life experiences have hurt them so much? Who needs someone to see beneath the layers of hurt and fear to who they really are? There are those who use words to cry out for help; there are even more whose actions and ways of being in the world express their need to be loved and for someone to truly see and believe in them. From a surface view, their actions and ways of being push people away, but look closer to find the beautiful being hidden beneath layers of self-protective anger and hostility. Bristles on the outside speak of broken trust and lack of hope on the inside. Anger and attack speak of inner hurt and disillusionment. Beneath whose protective layers can you see?
There are also those who don't speak or act out to express their need for a champion. They suffer in quiet isolation. Don't assume that because someone is alone that solitude is their desired state of being or that because someone doesn't express their need that it doesn't exist. Everyone needs someone to care, to truly see them and believe in them until they can love and believe in themselves.
Who do you know that needs a champion? Whose inner being do you sense in spite of external appearances? How might you show that you recognize the hidden cry for recognition and affirmation? How might you show that you see and care, in spite of what appears to push away, attack, or be self-sufficient? Whose cry to be seen and loved do you see or hear?
Think back to the young man's words: "Why should I? You're just going to leave like all the others." His teacher tried to show she cared, and he reacted - not the way she hoped, but in a way that expressed his inner hurt. Can she recognize the underlying message and not give up? He will try to push away and recreate what he has experienced. Why should he trust? Why should he believe? But, if she holds onto her inner knowing about him and shows up every day to be his champion, in time, he will begin to let the protective walls down and let her in. In time, her belief in him will translate to his own ability to believe in himself. It won't happen overnight just as his hurt wasn't a one-time occurrence. He needs her to truly see him through the anger and hostility and to keep seeing him through the defences he has erected in self-protection. He needs her to be his champion until he can be his own.
If these words are resonating within you, you already know or sense someone who needs a champion. Will you be like so many others who have responded to what is visible on the outside and backed away, or will you be the one who can see through the outer expressions that seem to say "stay away" to the precious being who is crying out to truly be seen? Trust your inner knowing and be someone's champion. Who will notice? The one who truly matters - the one whom you see. What is the "win"? Something beyond measure by the standards of the outer world - the opening and blossoming of one who has been hiding behind walls of hurt.
Do You Really Care What Other People Think Of You? (By Kathryn Corbin)
"What will the neighbors think?" That seemed to be the main concern of my parents when I was growing up.
As much as I rebelled against it at the time, and as much as that concern always felt like bondage to me, and as much as I really did see it as an example of how NOT to live, I still internalized the message that it matters VERY MUCH what other people think of me.
What I realize now is that being so concerned with what the neighbors and other people thought of us back then meant we were denying our own inner guidance and our own right to choose the best way to live and especially our own right to choose what feels good to us.
"What will the neighbors think" morphed into what will anyone and everyone - except me - think about me!!! Believing that I was constantly being judged and that it was extremely important not to be judged negatively, my connection with my True Self became tenuous at best.
While I remained in the prison of what other people think of me, my external guidance was playing at full volume and my inner guidance was often set on mute.
"It's just about being you and being cool with that." - Carmine Gallo
Subtly and stealthily, I learned to let the way other people felt about me determine how I felt about myself. Which lead to trying to get other people - especially significant others - to like me so I could like myself.
Can you imagine? Trying to get other people to like and approve of me in order to like and approve of myself!
Well, it made sense at the time. Actually, it never made sense. It just became the game I was playing. The impossible game of trying to feel good about myself while believing it matters desperately what other people think of me!
When I first heard Abraham's guidance to not give a rip what other people think, I was thrilled at the idea but I had no clue where to begin.
I had always liked the aphorism "happiness is an inside job" and decided to figure out what that actually means. I finally - halleluiah! - started looking inside to feel good. There were shaky starts and setbacks, but my True Self continued to call me to feel good from the inside out.
I set intentions, recited affirmations and practiced new beliefs. Most importantly, I made friends with my Inner Being and decided if my Inner Being and I feel good about me, that's enough for me.
Now, with rare exceptions, I celebrate each day that:
I Feel Good from the Inside Out and
I No Longer Need Other People or Circumstances
To Make Me Feel Good!
And that, my friend, is #freedom!

The Value of Contrast
You came into your body full of excitement about the possibilities that this life experience would inspire, and that desire that you held in the beginning was not muted at all by trepidation or doubt, for you knew your power and you knew that this life experience and all of its contrast would be the fertile ground for wonderful expansion." - Abraham-Hicks
What is Contrast?
The concept of Contrast was introduced by Abraham-Hicks. As defined by Michael Losier, author of the book Law of Attraction, "Contrast, as it applies to the Law of Attraction, is anything you don't like, doesn't feel good, or causes you to be in a negative mood."
Most people are not good at knowing what they DO want but they are good at knowing what they DON'T want. Identifying contrast is a helpful tool to get clarity on what it is you do want.
When someone is not nice to you (contrast), you want them to be nice. When you don't have enough money (contrast), you want more money. If you're having health problems (contrast), you want to be healthy. Contrast causes you clarify your preferences.
How Contrast Serves Us
You can't know what you do want unless you know what you don't want. Although it doesn't feel good, contrast is actually a good thing. Out of contrast and the variety of life's experiences, you get to decide what you prefer.
Contrast launches desires and is Step 1 of the creation process. Contrast and desire is the basis for our existence. Without it, there is no creation.
Contrast causes you to focus your energy more clearly, and from that focus you find new awareness and your new preference. The more clearly you know what you want, the more easily the Law of Attraction can deliver it.
Sometimes your Inner Being / Higher Self will prompt you in the direction of a problem in order to create a solution. And as a creator, isn't that what you're looking for?
Clarity Through Contrast
In his book Law of Attraction, Michael Losier offers the Clarity Through Contrast process to help us better understand what it is we do want. You can download the PDF for free from his website, or, you can use a piece of paper - simply draw a line down the middle and at the top of the left side write "Contrast" (A) and on the top of the right side write "Clarity" (B).
The Clarity Through Contrast process is simple:
1. Choose a situation or life area that you want clarity on, such as career, finances, relationship, etc.
2. On side A (contrast) list all the things that are troubling you about your situation. For example - career - hours too long, pay too low. You can refer to past and current experiences to help build your list.
3. After completing the contrast list, read each item and ask, "So, what do I want?" and complete Side B (clarity) of the worksheet. After you have reached clarity, simply cross off the matching item of contrast.
4. Add new ideas or thoughts to your clarity list as you think of them. This is your new point of focus. Keep your thoughts only on your clarity list and let go of all the items from your contrast list.
5. Watch how the situation begins to shift!
An Environment Without Contrast
People think that it would be nice to have an environment where there are no problems and all they see is what they want, but expansion cannot come from that. That would lead to the end of our existence.
You came into your physical body for growth and expansion, and contrast is a necessary component of that.
Life is all about growing and expanding and alignment. If there was no more contrast, you would be bored. There would be no more desires to reach for, and you would be "done."
Contrast is Essential to our Eternity
"If we could eliminate the contrast, then we would eliminate choice, and if we could eliminate choice, then we would eliminate asking. If we could eliminate asking, we would eliminate summoning of Source, we would eliminate leading edge thought - and we would eliminate eternity." - Abraham-Hicks
Contrast is life giving and essential to your expansion as an eternal being. Since you are eternal, you don't want to run out of desires, and you don't want to run out of what causes desire either. The contrast causes you to focus yourself into a clear, new awareness of what you want.
"In the absence of contrast there would be absence of desire which means there would be absence of summoning of life which means there would be absence of life which means there would be Death, in the truest sense of the word, and we promise you there can never be that!" - Abraham-Hicks
Embracing Contrast
The challenge with contrast is to not get fixated on it. It is meant to birth new desires but when you stay fixated on the problem, you can't grow and evolve.
Instead of freaking out when you're in the midst of problems (contrast), learn to embrace it and realize it is an opportunity to fine-tune what you want and to expand your dreams. Ask yourself, "What do I want in this situation?"
The only way you can move out of the contrast and into a better feeling situation is to focus more on what you want. Through your desire and clarity, the solution can, and will, come. The Universe will respond to your improved vibration by bringing more improvement.
Once you have trained yourself not to dwell on the contrast, you will find that the contrast becomes fleeting, fewer and less severe over time. Just go with the flow and do what you can can to feel good. Keep your focus there - on feeling good. That is the sweet spot in life and it will only get better and better with practice, time, and attention.
Enjoy the journey!

Caged Hassles & Imprisoned Fears
Our inner being is a sort of vessel, crammed with immense power to grapple with the stumbling blocks that come our way, while we walk through the boulevard called life. Each one of us bump into hurdles and that is the way life is. If you get everything you desire, where is the thrill of experiencing life in an intriguing manner?
Stress and anxiety are, indeed, a part and parcel of our existence. But, one should find out ways to revel in the lighter facet of one's lifetime, as the famous saying by Elbert Hubbard unfolds - "Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive."
Ever tried clutching a briefcase for long? After a couple of hours you will feel piercing pain in your arms. Same is the case with your stressful problems. If you latch on to them for too long, they will produce discomfort and incapacitate our being. Consequently, they will bring your other significant tasks to a halt.
Constant stress can deter your well-being. Therefore, without much ado, you need to settle on a solution to your tribulations, so that they don't immobilize you. Always remember, you can take pleasure in life only if you are relieved of your troubles, which lead to persistent stress and worries.
Mulling over the state of affairs, one becomes conscious of the fact that if one does not hold any feelings of pessimism, irritation, anger, antipathy, envy and wickedness towards any other person or thing, half of the problems are turned to dust. Instead, impregnate yourself with the warmth of love, friendliness, easiness, compassion, acceptance, patience and positivity; which will lead to boundless ecstasy and peace of mind.
Ever wondered why we are born on this planet, why some things are the way they are? What is the purpose of life? Such questions are best left unanswered because if we are distressed over such pre-ordained things, over which we cannot exercise our control, we shall be weighed down with worry, anguish and countless apprehensions. We won't, then, be able to witness a glimmer of contentment in our lives.
Every time you come across a stressful situation, always stop to consider the worst case scenario. If needed, be ready to accept the worst and while keeping your calm, try manifold ways improve it. What is more, feel no compunction over the times that have gone by and flake out the jitters of the times that are yet to pop in. Remember, half of the things that you fret over, do not even come to pass.
Try to brush off certain trivial things in life so that you can pour all your energy into more significant episodes of your daily grind. Put a stop to the practice of convincing others of your perspective, thereby expending your pot of energy needlessly. Listen and accept others' viewpoints. Explore the unknown facets of life, make efforts to accomplish what you desire and next, stop thinking about the end result. If you've done good, you'll receive good. Be open to all kinds of possibilities, since clinging to one will displease you, in case it doesn't occur.
So, bottle up your hassles and allay your fears. Moreover, remember to:
* Overcome your obstacles with a calm bent of mind
* Don't stick to a problem for too long.
* Try laughing at yourself
* Accept the inescapable
* Don't expect much from others
