What a fun question to think about! I’ve been focusing on personal development since I was a teenager; I’ll just limit my inquiry to what have I learned since finding my first trace of the Pavlinarena, when I came across “Do It Now” – and was hooked.
What I’ve learned:
(some of it, anyway)
That the most powerful and effective force in living a life I’m in love with is to accept 100% responsibility. Maybe more than 100%.
Gratitude may be the most powerful force on the planet.
Traffic runs more smoothly when I let go of being irritated.
Trust is not something that is earned, it’s something I choose.
Problems never live outside of thoughts.
If you believe your problems are really problems, then you really have problems.
Macs are more fun than PCs.
I have a real talent for feeling good on purpose.
Love is not something you get. It’s something you generate.
The madder you get, the wronger you probably are.
Who I am is infinite power and abundance.
My top values (for now, anyway) are freedom, connection, joy, and love.
My genius is freeing flow.
Nobody owes anyone anything. We're on a strictly volunteer basis.
My life purpose is to boldly generate free-flowing love and joy.
I used to think I talked too much, but now I am Bold Inspiration.
You can’t see it if you don’t have it.
The most often-sung refrain of The Chicken Opera is “But I LOVE him!!”
What a person wants and what she’s committed to are often two entirely different things, and sometimes they are mutually exclusive.
Not everybody is willing to feel good on purpose. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s a minority.
None of my thoughts are true. Yours, either.
Unsolicited advice has absolutely nothing, zero, to do with the advisee; it is 100% about the advisor. At the same time, if someone offers you unsolicited advice, it’s a great idea to look for the inner truth of what they are saying.
If something pushes your buttons, it’s a huge gift of personal growth waiting to be unwrapped! Be grateful! The more irritated you are, the bigger the gift.
If something’s not working in your life, change what you’re being. Look for something you could let go of, and for something you could generate that would make a difference.
If you want another person to change, look boldly to see the difference it would make if you made the change instead of them. It’s never them. It’s always you.
I am a gorgeous hot babe. I had thought I was hideously, monstrously gorgeous. What was I thinking?!?
How to like brown rice.
oh, yeah, and...
It's a game, one that's impossible to lose.
