“Your choice of a doctor or medical professional is equally important. If you are working with someone to create health and well-being, be sure that person holds a similar vision. Many doctors, well-meaning and skilled though they are, are trained to pay more attention to what is deficient and hold you in an identity of illness than to pursue what is efficient and hold you in an identity of wholeness. Do you feel better or worse after you spend time with your doctor or practitioner? The better you feel about the person you are working with, the more likely you are to achieve the results you seek.”

Alan Cohen, in “Relax into Wealth”

“Accept your present situation as it is and get rid of your dissatisfaction and resentment. You can always find something good in everything and in any situation. Even the smallest things in life can be a source of joy. So, you don’t like the house you’re living in, but you can at least be grateful to it. After all, it has sheltered you. It is rainy and windy outside, and the house is the one to endure that, while keeping you safe and warm. Doesn’t this deserve some kind of recognition?

If you are grateful for what you have now, if you experience love towards all those things surrounding you, things that make your life easier, then you will be giving off positive energy. Then, if you want to, you could count on an improvement of your living conditions. And when you are moving away, be sure to thank everything that surrounded you before in your old house. Even things that you throw away deserve your gratitude. In these moments, you are transmitting positive vibrations to the surrounding world, and these vibrations will definitely come back to you.”

Vadim Zeland, in “Reality Transurfing 1”

“What you refer to as your “life” should more accurately be called your “life situation.” It is psychological time: past and future. Certain things in the past didn’t go the way you wanted them to go. You are still resisting what happened in the past, and now you are resisting what is. Hope is what keeps you going, but hope keeps you focused on the future, and this continued focus perpetuates your denial of the Now, and therefore your unhappiness.

FORGET ABOUT YOUR LIFE SITUATION for a while and pay attention to your life. You life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real. Find the ‘narrow gate that leads to life.’ It is called the Now. Narrow your life down to this moment. Your life situation may be full of problems – most life situations are – but find out if you have any problem at this moment. Not tomorrow or in ten minutes, but now, do you have a problem NOW?”

“People ask, “How can there be a God if there’s so much evil on the earth plane?” The fact is, God isn’t involved in the evil. God is detached and just watching it. God isn’t saying that there should be evil or that there should be good. God is pure love, existing in the detachment of infinity – watching , and being there for us, but not interfering – allowing each of us to work through what we need to work through.

Certainly, someone can give you a hand up, but in the end, you have to buy your own healing. You can either buy it with money because you go to a counselor or practitioner of some kind, or you buy it with energy. Generate more energy, and you can heal your life.”

“Unhappiness doesn’t and can’t exist on its own. Unhappiness is the feeling that accompanies negative thinking about your life. In the absence of that thinking, the unhappiness, or stress, or jealousy, can’t exist. There is nothing to hold your negative feelings in place other than your own thinking. The next time you’re feeling upset, notice your thinking – it will be negative.

Remind yourself that it’s your thinking that is negative, not your life. This simple awareness will be the first step in putting you back on the path toward happiness. It takes practice, but you can get to the point where you treat your negative thoughts in much the same way you would treat flies at a picnic: You shoo them away and get on with your day.”

Richard Carlson, PH.D., in “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff”
