OVERDOSING ON SEROTONIN
Have you ever heard about the effects of kindness on your brain?
science of kindness in The Power of Intention. It goes something like this:-
Serotonin is the drug that makes you feel good. It’s what all the pharmaceutical companies pump
into those wonderful little anti-depressants. It’s also a little drug God decided to pump through our
brains when we do things he/she/it likes. It’s kinda like a little reward for good behavior, ya know?
Anyway, get this: When you do something kind for someone else, the person you’re helping has
serotonin released in her brain—she feels happier. And so do you.
Good news! Two more serotonin-induced happier people in the world! Woo hoo!
But the most incredible thing is this: not only do you and the person you helped feel better, so
does some random person who happened to watch your act of kindness.
Amazing…
I like serotonin. You? I say we overdose today. :)

Enlightenment
A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by. "Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old baseball cap. "I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then
he asked: "What's that you are sitting on?" "Nothing," replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember." "Ever looked inside?" asked the stranger. "No," said the beggar. "What's the point? There's nothing in there." "Have a look inside," insisted the stranger. The beggar managed to pry open
the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold. I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside. Not inside any box, as in the parable, but somewhere even closer: inside
yourself. "But I am not a beggar," I can hear you say.
Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love, while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

ACT “AS IF”
“Act as if everything you desire is already here… treat yourself as if you already are what you’d like to become.”
Acting “as if” is genius.
My rendition goes something like this: Who do you want to be?
What’s your ideal?
Are you enlightened?
Are you in perfect physical shape?
Whatever it is, get that image. Then, on a moment-to-moment basis, ACT “AS IF” you already were that person. What would the enlightened being who you are do in this moment of tension?
Perhaps breathe in, breathe out, gain perspective and maintain equanimity?
Good. Then act like that enlightened person NOW. How about that perfectly healthy person you imagine. Good. What would (s)he do right now?
What would they eat?
How often would they exercise? Perfect. That’s what you do now.
Act as if.
Moment to moment to moment.
And, sooner than you think you won’t be acting anymore.
How amazingly cool is that?
Your highest says " Hi " ❕
Have a bright day 🌅

Avoiding what you're naturally attracted to, so that you can live in accordance to other people's expectations, will only lead to a life of regret. Be loyal to your aspirations.

COMING TO ONESELF
“In the universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which shamans call intent, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting
link.” #CarlosCastaneda
Four Steps to Intention:-
Discipline,
Wisdom,
Love and
Surrender.
Exercise your Discipline by building strong habits. DO the things you know you should do. Live with integrity to your ideal! Develop your Wisdom as you learn in this classroom that is our lives. Open your heart as you learn to Love more and more—loving who you are, what you do, and those around you. And, Surrender to the force that’s bigger than you, the force that beats your heart, the force that Wayne calls, “The Power of Intention”!
In the words of Aldous Huxley: “The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists
in the dissipation of one’s own ignorance concerning one’s self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one’s self.”

Here's an advice for today!
4. Develop Compassion : Open heart to others. Donate money/time to cause you like. Beautiful smile and genuine hello to strangers. M. Teresa-We don’t do great things on earth. We do
small things with great love.
5. Your ‘In-basket’ won’t be empty when you die: Accept that in reality, almost everything can wait. Rare things are in emergency category. Purpose of life is not to complete everything in the plan, but to enjoy each step of life’s journey with love.
6. Don’t Interrupt Others or Finish Their Sentences: It is a very destructive habit for the love and respect. Both become nervous, irritable and annoyed. It is exhausting as well. Causes resentment.

SAY “YES!”
“One of the most effective means for transcending ordinary and moving into the realm of extraordinary is saying yes more frequently and eliminating no almost completely. I call it saying yes to life. Say yes to yourself, to your family, your children, your coworkers, and your business…”
“I rarely let the word No escape
From my mouthBecause it is so plain to my soulThat God has shouted, Yes! Yes! Yes! To every luminous movement in Existence.”
"You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.You were born with ideals and dreams.You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.You have wings.Learn to use them and fly.”
Say “Yes!”

WHAT ARE YOU SEEKING?
“You must be what it is that you’re seeking. This is a universe of attraction and energy. You can’t have a desire to attract a mate who’s confident, generous, non-judgmental, and gentle, and expect that desire to be manifested if you’re thinking and acting in nonconfident, selfish, judgmental, or arrogant ways…”
What are you seeking?
Who are you being?
Are they matched?

When faced with a problem - your decisions are based on TWO things....
LOVE or FEAR
If you can ask yourself enough questions to Narrow it down.... you are building self-awareness and authenticity.

To protect your peace of mind, you've got to let go of people who continuously mess with ur mind by getting angry & playing victim when they are confronted about their behavior. Its how theyve learned to survive. You have a big heart, but dont leak ur goodness. It's ok to let go.

Everyone needs boundaries. If you have a hard time creating and keeping them, it’s a reflection of your self worth. Those who truly care will honor your boundaries or anyone who wants to stay will learn to honor them. Your needs matter! Read that again.

The moment you doubt yourself, always remember, you are the greatest invention on this earth, you were made to go through challenges and hardships, and these challenges and hardship are just as temporary as your time on this earth, so make the most out of it!

👉Things you need to remember your self more often❕📢
1. Acknowledge and listen to each other more often
2. We’re a lot more creative and innovative than we think we are.
3. Routine is sorely underrated. We need daily routines to maintain some level of sanity
4. Transitions are opportunities to deepen the work we do
5. Our health is our greatest wealth
6. What we do individually has a more direct impact on others than we fully realize.
7. There is an extremely thin line between freedom and greed
8. Reflect more
9. Most of what we consume online and on social media is unhealthy trash!
10. Reduce your screen time
11. Pick up your hobbies once more
12. We’ve underestimated the importance of being still,
doing nothing for a while, and focusing our thoughts with the intention
13. For those of us who struggle with discipline,
we have to face it and learn how to become disciplined
