Happiness Is an Inside Job

Product Information

The dangers of pinning our happiness/progress with on how we measure up to others are too great to ignore. The more comfortable we are in our own skin, the more comfortable we can be in authentic relationships with others. We won’t feel the need to wear a mask or armor, or to people-please, or to protect our thoughts and feelings. We can be vulnerable, for we know that there is strength in vulnerability. We don’t feel the need to protect our hearts. Because we have learned to tell ourselves the truth about who we are — and who we aren’t — we can more easily share this truth with others, and to help them do the same. And Tolstoy’s advice: “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” Life is an inside job — I start with myself. I must BE the change I wish to see in the world. Your YES place is guided by your highest self (the you were born with) and is present in your life when your mind, body, heart, and soul are balanced and aligned. Secondly, it will give you a sense of power to do some good in the world. This feeling will expand into many areas of your life, including your control over your perceptions and emotions.

Jenni Russell (from the Sunday Times) is quoted as saying that ‘few books change one’s life; in 48 hours this has improved mine.’

I meditate for 20 minutes every morning and every afternoon. I practice Transcendental Meditation (TM). After my morning meditation, I also read some spiritual literature. And I offer a prayer of thanks as well as a prayer asking for guidance throughout the day. A wonderful book, heartwarming and wise, that conveys the essence of what the Buddha taught in the voice of a gifted storyteller, teacher, friend, and compassionate human being.” When you start aiming at something different — something like “I want to be better than I was yesterday ” — your minds will start presenting you with new information, derived from your previously hidden self, to aid you in your new pursuit and quest to become a better version of yourself.
