Than ks for the great and insightful comment. It’s often said hat if we eek revenge, we better dig two graves!”

Anger is a false emotion. It masks real emotions like fear. That’s been a big one for me! And your right, once you begin the journey, your halfway through!

The hard part is silencing your ego. When I get angry and resentful for someone that I think has wronged me, my ego always adds a LOT of fuel to the fire! Now when I am egotistically thinking – Hey This dude owes me an apology I think… “John… Would you rather be right or be happy?”

Happy always trumps right!

Within my Journey of Personal / Spiritual growth, I had to make a list of people who I was resentful towards and make direct amends to them all no matter what the reason. If I felt that they had wronged me or if I had wronged them, it had to be done.
I was told that harboring resentments was like me drinking a bottle of poison and expecting the person I’m angry at to die. I was told to pray for this other person, wishing for the happiness that I want or myself for them. If I do these things I will find a new found freedom and happiness, I will not regret the past, I will find serenity and know peace. Guess what? I have. Was it easy? A hundred times easier then I had imagined.
Now I am not a very religious man, but the power of prayer has been a very powerful resource in my personal development.
The prayer that I can say has helped me the most is the prayer of St Francis and in a couple of the passages of this prayer it states, that it is better to comfort than to be comforted, it is better to understand than to be understood, it’s better to love than to be loved, for it is by self forgetting that one is forgiven and it is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
Powerful stuff for a guy that was angry at the world. This “STUFF” has transformed my life and the law of my being for the better. Thank you John for such a great topic. Wishing all a Wonderful Life, JosephDiego….

Seems the Aussies are saying the same thing in essence.

Spot on Derek. As I mentioned to Pam, Rich Schefren once told me during a discussion of self esteem and what others thought of us “John, What other people think about you is none of your business. Those are their thoughts, not yours!”

Thanks for more info on Mandella. I was very inspired by the movie.

Hope to talk soon!

Agreed Derek. Very few of us in this country get enough water. They say that the majority of us spend our lives dehydrated….

Thanks a lot for the great reminder!

I’m glad I could help! We can really truly only create and control our own happiness.

Rich Schefren told me something once that will always stick with me. We were having a discussion about self esteem and the topic turned to what others thought of us, ya know not wanting to appear the idiot. He said to me “John, what anyone else thinks of you is none of your business!” . Such a great thought and so true…. Seems like it would have been great advice to get when i was 6 years old!

Accepting that all people will only ever do what is in their perception of their best interest be it love, hate or anything in between is a fundamental well worth to understanding.

As humans we all possess the power of choice.
Mandela chose to believe that even though he was incarcerated he was actually more free than his guards. In truth he was right.
He had no choice but to be in locked up in prison. His views had put him there but he guards didn’t have to work in the prison but they did week in week out.
They walked out at the end of the shift but they knew they voluntarily had to return for their next shift.
This is why he made a point of thanking each of them personally when he was finally released.

We can choose to be offended by what others say and do or we can choose to ignore it. Choosing to be offended about what people say about us is really dumb because you will never ever hear most of what other people say about you so why be offended about the things you do hear?
Where is the gain?

John
Drink 2 litres of pure water per day every day. Pure as in not the crap that comes out of a tap. Filtered or spring water is best provided you trust the source of the spring water.

I have a PDF somewhere which explains the multitude of problems that simply go away when we hydrate our bodies properly by drinking sufficient water and I’ll e-mail it to you when I figure out which thumb drive I dropped it onto!

Any aching joints… rub in hemp oil twice daily.
Take hemp oil with your salads as a dressing. Hemp is a wonder plant in every sense of the word and if it wasn’t for small cabal of truly corrupt people, alive in 1930’s America, it would be widely used around the world and many of today’s ‘problems’ wouldn’t exist.
Mind neither would many of today’s companies or governments and therein lies the rub, pun unintended!

Speak soon
