Your body is like an earth within the earth. Every cell in your body can be thought of as a member of your body's society; just as every person in the world can be thought of as a member of earths society.

When the members of a society are at peace, the environment is experienced as a peaceful place. When the members of a society are not at peace, dis-ease and discomfort is experienced in the environment.

This is true for your external and internal environments. When you are not a peace with yourself, you experience dis-ease in your internal environment; which causes you to be at odds with your external environment. And your relationship with your external environment shows up internally.

For every cell in your body mirrors your relationship with the world around you. And the world around you, mirrors your relationship with yourself.

This is why when you have love for yourself, you show love to others. When you have hate towards yourself, you express hate towards others.

I've said this before, and I'll say it many times again: "If you can make peace with yourself, you can make peace with the world around you." If you don't make peace with yourself, you'll blame the world for your shortcomings. And if you blame others for the way things are, you won't have the courage to change your reality to the way you would like for it to be.


How do you really feel about yourself?

Sit here for a moment and truly think, and feel, for the answer to this question before you continue reading.


Many people in western society often measure their strength by how much stress they can handle. It's as if the more stressful our jobs are, the more important we feel our jobs are.

We don't usually say it out loud, but we often measure our worth as parents by how stressed out we are as well. The more after school programs, and meetings we scurry off to everyday gives us a sense of importance, because all of these things makes us feel busy: and in western society, we glorify busyness.

Even though we sign ourselves up for these task, we often complain about it as if someone made us sign up for it. Although no one "made" us sign up for this stressful Life, someone, however, did "suggest" this Life to us.

Who? You might ask.

It is society itself, who, through every song, television sitcom, every commercial, radio advertisement, school system, and religious system, who suggested this way of Life upon you. For everyone, including the myself, is in the media business. It is the business of selling you ideas.

Therefore, you have to be conscious of the type of ideas you are buying into daily basis.

Society unconsciously echoes a seductive voice that repetitiously suggest that you get on the fearful and limited fast track to nowhere. This is called the "rat race." It's a race to get the degree, to get the job that's not really our passion: but it pays well enough to buy the big house that we never get to live in, and the car we never get to drive.

This is a normal way of life for many people. And if you bring this up to them, they will say things such as "You can't do everything you love: you can't have things your way: you have to do this, you're supposed to do that: etc."

Hard work does pay off. But hard work doing something you truly love, never feels like hard work. It feels like doing something you truly love.

I'm all about having goals, and having the finer things in life: but what's the purpose of having these things if you never get to enjoy them? In fact, what's the purpose of living if you never get to enjoy living?

Simply put; stress comes as a result of doing things over and over again that you don't truly enjoy. Therefore, doing things you don't truly enjoy is literally killing you, because when you are stressed, your brain releases toxic chemicals in the body that weaken your immune system.

This is the deadly price of unfulfillment. It is the price of conformity and normality. Photo By Samuel Zeller
Do you ever enjoy yourself? I'm not talking about, occasionally laughing and talking about the latest gossip. I'm not talking about that fake laughter you give your boss in response to every joke he or she says.

I mean do you truly enjoy yourself?

Without the use of alcohol or drugs?

Your body is the most luxury vehicle and sophisticated technology on the planet: but ask yourself, do you ever enjoy it? The way you feel and look most of the time will give you the answer to that question.

Go to a mirror and truly look at yourself for a few moments. Are you truly enjoying yourself on this planet?


To enjoy Life is to enjoy the present moment. To enjoy the present moment is to enjoy yourself. To enjoy yourself, is to be at peace with yourself; which creates peace with the world around you.

When you are at peace with yourself, you respect yourself. When you respect yourself you only do things that you enjoy.

You do the type of work you enjoy. You live in the home you enjoy. You drive the vehicles you enjoy. You travel to places you enjoy, with family and friends you enjoy.

Life is simple.

"Do what you enjoy."

And be willing to let go of anything that you do not enjoy. No matter what it is...

No exceptions...

Sometimes the cost will be giving up your job to build your own business. Sometimes the cost will be ending or mending relationships with family and friends. Sometimes the cost will be criticism.
​
But it will always cost you courage.

That is the price of success. That is the price of freedom. And that is the price of happiness.

Can you afford it?

Love
