We’re all too familiar with the voice that echoes inside our heads.
You know the one: the nasty roommate who constantly picks at your faults, real or imagined.
The list is never ending.
I say “brain” for a reason, because that voice talking is not you.
That’s your 40,000-year-old brain doing what it was programmed to do.
It was programmed to look for things that are wrong to keep you out of trouble.
Its a survival technique.
Youre so used to hearing your nasty roommate that you rarely see your higher self.
This is the part of you that’s happy, carefree, and outgoing.
It will help youbecome the personyou were meant to be.
It’s easier than you think.
Here are five steps:
Realize that life doesnt have to be perfect to be great.
Drop the idea that if the world isnt perfect, its not right.
The world is perfectly imperfect.
You just need to learn to enjoy the blemishes as well as the gems.
Even more important,forgive yourselffor your own imperfections.
Then enjoy those flaws all just the same.
Acknowledge your own divinity from time to time.
Believe it or not, you were born beautifully divine.
The world just never learned to embrace it, and you never learned to enjoy it.
The secret to happiness is not to pursue that which you dont have.
The secret is to look within and acknowledge your own simple truth, your own divinity.
All the rest can be let go.
Sow the seeds of positive thoughts.
you’re free to’t control all of your thoughts.
They’ll come on their own accord.
But it’s possible for you to control how you respond to them.
Many of the thoughts you have are simply the way the brain works.
It is free to do what it wants.
Think of your thoughts as seeds that grow within you.
When youcultivate good thoughts, you live.
Let go and just be.
Real happiness is not about being ecstatic every minute of every day.
Learn to let go of all the drama that upsets your balance.
If it takes away from your contentment, thenlet it go.
Find your own simple truth.
Do the things you love the most, follow your heart, your passions, and your dreams.
Look for meaning inyour actions and purposein whatever direction you decide to follow.
Its no longer enough to accept the way things are and the life you have.
There is a wonderful opportunity to live the life you were born to live.
The power is within you.
All you have to do is take the first step toward realizing it.
