Love and caring are necessary components in helping someone to kick a drug habit, but unfortunately, they aren’t all what’s needed!

10 Steps to Owning Our Happiness
We’ve all known people who defer their happiness in the name of completing their goal, yet goals can shift imperceptibly, getting more elusive as time passes, leaving people stuck in a life habit of not enjoying their lives in the present time!
So, what are the steps we can follow to get to own our “Happiness”?
Luck is What Happens When Opportunity Meets Preparedness!

Most people feel helpless as if they have no control of their life. In truth, you have more control over your world…
On Comparing Ourselves to others…
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
How easy is it to feel badly when we compare ourselves to others following a similar path?
Is it HEALTHY when we find our mind doing this, and how can we harness it?
When the elephants poop in the ring… and other unexpected things!
We all want things to go as planned. It seems a like a huge disaster when something happens to throw us off track… if people are watching, we can feel humiliated, it’s as though we failed to deliver on the experience we had built up for ourselves (or perhaps for others) to expect.
In all our planning, and expecting certain results, we can become really thrown off by the unexpected, yet when we allow ourselves to spontaneously follow the flow, we may find ourselves surprised or even delighted!
What happens after you have found what you have been seeking?
What did I expect would happen when I found the answers I was looking for? Did I think I would live in a state of constant enlightenment?
Fear… What Can Hold Us Back?
Our fears can take many forms. This article talks about what can hold us back from pursuing our dreams and going all the way with them!
Even the strongest, most powerful people have or have had their fears. How we deal with them is key to not being held back by them!
Finding the time to write…
I had a very positive response to one of my posts: the gentleman commented saying he’d love to write, but can’t fit in the time.
Getting into the practice of writing can be a slow easing-in process…
Want another dose of gratitude with that?!
Have you been hearing a lot about learning to be grateful for whatever life gives you… even if life is throwing you a lot of curve balls lately?
Red Ocean or Blue Ocean? How do you think?
Are you a Red ocean thinker or a Blue ocean thinker?
Hmmm… a new thought! What does this mean?
Impatience… “When will the Universe give me what I want?”
I’m seeing the desires of people around me, whether physically in my life, or virtually, through the Internet, the desires to change, to have their lives move forward, to be different.
There’s hesitation, almost trepidation of making the right choices, in choosing where they want their lives to go.
A new you! Is this possible?
I’ve found personally that when I’m unhappy with myself/my life, that I need to step out of my depressed and negative mindset for a few moments, to be able to determine what I’m unhappy about (and saying “everything” won’t cut it!) to be able to figure out what my plan of action needs to be.
I’ve observed that in a multi-step plan, there are usually many smaller steps that I need to do in order to get to where I want to go, and that I need to be realistic in how long it will take me to get it done!
How would you find happiness or meaning in your life if you never HAD to work again?
Would you consider being a philanthropist? Who would you become?
These are interesting questions I’ve pondered many times when I buy a lottery ticket!
So is there any point to money and wealth? Does it do any good at all?
Making a change… “How do I take that first step?”
So, you wish to start thinking about making some changes in your life! …but how?
Whether it’s a New Year’s resolution or a decision at any time of the year, to making something change in one’s life is kind useless without a plan or a road-map! It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all that needs to be done, and then to throw up our hands in the air in disgust, and tell our selves it’s no use!
Please don’t do that! We all have issues, and we all have things we’re working on, even the people who seem practically perfect on the outside!
“What kind of love do I allow in my life?”
Here’s a question many men and women have at various times: Will I meet someone special? Will I have love in my life? Will someone love me?
You may probably be thinking of these things, yet dread repeating past mistakes…
