Maybe to a place of being peaceful where you are.  And from there, then, you might create a new place to be peaceful.  Or joyful.  Or whatever word you choose. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : [Option Circle] Re: Zhenya's journey Date : Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:12:30 -0800 (PST) From : "Zhenya (a.k.a.

Hi, Zhenya! I can understand the "go for what you want" idea, but if your biggest want is to be happy, then having a want and letting it gently roll around in your mind might be more useful.  "Wouldn't it be nice if ..." can be the lead-in to many happy thoughts.  Allow your wants to come to you instead of pushing and shoving to re-arrange the universe.  It's all about self-acceptance.  It's OK to be happy with what is--and then use that as a foundation and home base for all other wanting. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Love, Kirin

Larry, I just became aware of strong tie between my mood / passion and sunlight. I was taking 10K doses of vitamin D and I felt sick. Now I want to try the machine recommended by my nutritionist http://www.aviva.ca/shop/products.asp?itemid=4634&catid=59 Thad, I value your insights a lot! My "difficulty" is that knowing my wants I don't pursue them. Inspiration for me is the energy to in fact go after them. And since I don't act on my wants, I quickly get down and feel miserable. No excuses is my attempt to incite sorry free life (just like the "Complaint Free World" bracelet). Funny thing is all of it represents my attempt to change myself using the same means, I called myself "stuck" in response to Bear's post, but couldn't explain exactly what I am stuck about. I am looking for a thread to pull at. My plans are just that - my threads.

And a Mentor stands on solid ground next to the hole and reaches out a hand (i.e., a question) to help the man get out. With love and smiles, Kirin

A man is walking along the road & falls in a hole. He can't get out. A minister walks by "Can I help you?" "yes, help me get out!" "Ok", so he writes a prayer & throws it down to the man." A doctor comes by "Can I help you?" "Yes, help me get out" "Ok, so he writes a prescription & throws it down the hole" A friend comes by, asks "Can I help you?" "Yes, help me get out of here!" "Ok" and he jumps in the hole with the man. "Hey, why did you do that? Now we're both in the hole!" "Yeah" says the friend, "but I've been here before & know how to get out." Guys, I know I am the only key to me and I'd like to believe I'll open the door. I'll skip the self-criticism that I am so good at. I want to develop an easy daily regime to practice with the intention to first achieve clarity of thought. I am looking for daily questions to ask myself to develop the clarity of thought. Guess I am looking for a prescriptive model. But my wants are not a sufficient motivator (or they are untrue). Maybe I am in a hole on purpose, but then I want to be content with it. Zhenya P.S. Thank you for throwing thoughtful rocks on my side
