Snips


We can choose to live, fully in the Now. We can appreciate the extraordinariness of every breath we take, every challenge we encounter. Within each experience is the opportunity for us to grow and heal, to reach out to others in caring ways, to discover more fully the
individuals we are capable of being. We must not let a single moment go by unnoticed.
Maria Yraceburu

Personal power can be developed, and if we fail to practice it, we lose our personal freedom and become victims of others' choices, others' power, others' benevolence or malevolence. We can all afford to grow up a little more and experience the joy and freedom of exercising our own personal power.
Lloyd Thomas

"Everyone stumbles over the truth from time to time, but most people pick themselves up and hurry off as though nothing ever happened."
Sir Winston Churchill


"Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer."
D.T. Suzuki


“Self-examination is the practice of accountability to your soul…Living in truth is more crucial than speaking your truth…it is far better to ‘become’ your truth than to speak your truth. Self-examination is the practice of becoming your truth.”

in response to your question

I don't think anyone is naturally happy, but we project different "tunes" on the world around us, which deeply affect our "emerging self" by the response we get through "core self".

Meaning ... we mirror ourself in others view of us. If others act like we are a happy person, or others get happy by being with us. We get more happy. By this we early learn to be in this mood.

On the other hand some learn to be sad or whining, because that is the only way they got attention as little babies.

Falsely "Happy" persons have often had a depressed mother. The baby learn early how to put on a "show" to make the mother smile (those babies grow up to excellent entertainers!) lol
