Welcome to WhisperingWorlds Proctor Gallagher Institute | Getting YOU Results that Stick! The Sacrifices That Lead to Happiness “As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.” -Eckhart Tolle This weekend, a reader presented an interesting question about letting go of old beliefs and attitudes to make room for happiness and open up to a relationship. He suggested that this would require a lot of sacrifice on his part, and would leave him humbled and lost—as if he’s somehow “giving in” and losing touch with who he really is. He asked how he can reconcile the instinct to change with his resistance to becoming something he is not. I suspect a lot of us struggle with this. For a long time, I believed people were basically selfish, which made me feel constantly defensive. But the reality was that my defensiveness hurt me more than anything anyone else had ever done—and for far longer. We are not the beliefs that we, at one point, decided serve and protect us. Of course letting go of these will feel like giving in if we believe they define us. Photo by Aschaf

TRANScendent Jack Canfield | Success Principles for Peak Performance How to Meditate - Guided Meditation Techniques - Buddhist Meditations 15 Powerful Things Happy People Do Differently What are the differences between happy people and unhappy people? Of course, it should be very obvious: happy people are happy while unhappy people are unhappy, right? Well, that is correct. 1. Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, fear less and love a lot more. 2. Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation by resisting it, but you can definitely change it by accepting that it is there and by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence. 3. Really happy people know that it’s not healthy to hold on to anger. “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” ~ Buddha 4. They trust themselves and the people around them. 5. They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because it gives their lives a sense of purpose. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. These people don’t really care about being realistic. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.
