The range of expressions that humans can produce for themselves; from a bum on the street to the thousand pound man, to the Sages, Artists and poets, dictatorial madmen and politicians…fills my mind with sadness, wonder and joy wmf
A Well Known Fact: Without knowledge life seems like a problem, accident or a mistake…Reason is the first breath of happiness.
When you wake up in the morning…do your thoughts and feelings take you immediately to joy and the possibilities of another amazing day? Or does your mind track into familiar, redundant and painful thoughts of drudgery? Do you even know that you have a choice to think the thoughts you want? Do you even believe that you are thinking your own thoughts? Today’s blog is a chance to become a little more conscious of what you are thinking and to have the opportunity to change them as they occur…and with this in mind for two minutes of each of the next eight hours…make sure the thoughts you think are thoughts that will incline you to feel better about yourself and then allow yourself to act according to those thoughts and
Have a great day!

Stand up and open up
William Michael Forbes
.
People only have a difficult time with themselves and when they cannot see these…they will blame wmf
A Well Known Fact: Emotion does not come from out there.
Today is very simple and it is called stand up. Wherever you are…for 2 minutes for each of the next seven hours…Stand up and spread your arms wide wherever you are. Notice if any part of you feels uncomfortable…does any part of you worry about what others think? Does any part of you want to stop before the two minutes is up because of those feelings? While doing this activity…try and get to a place where you feel good just being as you are, irrespective og what your mind might tell you about what others think, feel or believe. Avoid doing this in places where you will easily feel safe…do this in places where you will be able to connect to and then love any negative aspects of yourself…in other words…if you feel fearful, guilty, silly, like you “shouldn’t” be doing this…let those parts of yourself know that you really love them…even if you don’t think you believe it…
Life is about being all that you are fearlessly and sometimes even with the fear and…
Have a great day!

Loving your fear
William Michael Forbes
One of the biggest misconceptions about life is that our emotions are an effect of what is outside of us....when in fact they are always existent only within us wmf
A Well Known Fact: The world around us stimulates that which is already within us or not.
How often have you tried to overcome something you were afraid of with sheer willpower?
Whether you have fear of relationship, a fear of bugs, a fear of snakes, a fear of heights...any kind of fear...willpower can only take you so far because you are trying to force one part of yourself to submit to another and this isn’t much different than using fear as a means to acquire co-operation from someone...it doesn’t work well and it alienates others from you. Fear has historically been used by barbaric individuals to control others...tools such as superstition, religion, dictatorships, the projecting of guilt and shame and ultimately when these do not work, physical force. Today’s blog is about guiding you beyond your fear by loving it.
The process for overcoming any fear in a healthy and positive way is love. Love is the ultimate perception of good that any human individual can conceive of at whatever stage of development they exist at...therefore any internal perception of “good feeling” is a degree and expression of love for the individual...it is what I teach people to become aware of within themselves and this awareness naturally and positively inspires growth. With this idea in mind here is your activity for how to be happy in fifteen minutes or less.
During this day, for two minutes in each of the next seven hours, recognize fear when it is happening...notice anything that makes you anxious, nervous, uncomfortable and when you do take a deep breath and become aware of where you feel that fear in yourself...it might help to close your eyes and feel the fear more internally...then as you become more aware of the fear think or say to the fear in a tone of voice that sounds like you really mean this...”I Love you...I will take care of you...” You are perfectly safe with me and then notice and feel how the feeling inside you changes. If you are dealing with a fear of heights or insects or people...close your eyes feel the feat on the inside and repeat the same statement to the fear as either a thought or feeling...” ”I Love you...I will take care of you...” it is most important that the way you present these words to yourself be in a tone of voice that sounds like you really mean it...then notice how the feeling changes and...
Have a great day!
