The source of optimism is our thoughts, not our personalities. Optimism is a choice!
The most powerful weapon against a mediocre life is practice.
And just like a fire, the human spirit needs to be lit again each day.
The kingdom of heaven is within us, not outside of us. The doors of perception are inside of our own minds, not out there. You can clean up your life and open up new doors. Yes, it takes practice, but you can do it.
Pessimism specializes in criticizing others and thinking that happiness depends on them changing. Happiness is within yourself! If you want it to be. You can learn to clean out EVERYTHING that muddies up your perception and stops you from seeing the infinite possibilities inside of you. You can invent someone really amazing...if you want to.
Personalities are not fun, vibrant things; they are what we crawl inside of to die.
Personalities are death masks. Freedom from this mask is found in excitement and enthusiasm. It is found in spirited self-creation.
Happiness comes from taking effective action upon the Universe.
If your personality can kidnap your current happiness, you are the problem...no one else! But that is good news, b/c if you are the problem, then you are also the solution!
Set yourself on fire!
Look for inspiration. If something or someone inspires me, it really means that they breathe life into my life.
I have failed at things many times, and because of that...I succeed. Losing is not the same thing as being defeated.
"Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost" - Coldplay
Never ask yourself what you FEEL like doing. Ask yourself what NEEDS to be done. Do what is necessary...by being in action.
Happiness comes to those who are busy doing what is needed. It follows the actions you take. It is not something you have to feel first.
Do what needs to be done!
Just the doing of what needs to be done...do it badly, do it slowly, do it fearfully, do it any way you can, BUT do it!"
God is alive. Magic is afoot. This I mean to whisper to my mind. This I mean to laugh within my mind. This I mean my mind to serve till service is but Magic moving through the world...and the mind itself is Magic coursing through the flesh, and flesh itself is Magic dancing on a clock, and time itself is the Magic Length of God." - Leonard Cohen, Beautiful Losers

- “The moment inbetween what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.” ~ Barbara De Angelis "Nothing happens without personal transformation." I decided one day I wanted to change. I wanted more from life. I realized that if you want more, YOU have to make it happen. You have to go to it and create it. The most powerful weapon against a mediocre life is practice. And just like a fire, the human spirit needs to be lit again each day.
