Are You Robbing Yourself of a Joyful Life?
“Comparison is the thief of joy.” Dwight Edwards
What does this quote mean? How does comparing yourself to others rob you of your own joy?
In your search to create your unique, joy-filled life, you must remember that You = The Only ONE.
You will struggle to live a pleasure-filled life if you do not tap into your core self and who you really are and instead waste precious time wondering why you don’t have the job, the looks, the money, the family, etc. etc. etc. that someone else has. Not embracing and celebrating your uniqueness causes you to conform and stuff yourself down, eventually leading to your one-of-a-kind qualities being lost or forgotten. In conforming, you lose your light, which can lead to feelings of depression and powerlessness.
The Ego, or Self, will fall into one of these categories as a way to cope with the loss of empowerment:
High Ego—power hungry; self absorbed; focus on external image; needs validation from others; blames/condemns others in order to boost self
Low Ego—no power; codependency; lost/confused; plays martyr; never feels gets what deserves; over carrying and worrying; always doubting self and putting self down
Interestingly enough, the high and low egos are two sides of the same coin. Both mask their genuine self by looking outside for the answers, are overly concerned with the image they are portraying, and are never satisfied. ” Get more here: Are You Robbing Yourself of a Joyful Life? « Positively Positive.

Quiet Your Mind and Just Play
“If it’s not fun, you’re not doing it right.” Bob Basso
I spend a lot of time contemplating and philosophizing about life. According to my mother, I spent the first year of my life silently observing the events around me with a serious stare and a furrowed brow.
I’ve always leaned toward reverent acts of self-discovery and introspection. In high school I studied Buddhist texts and on Sunday mornings at age 18, when my college classmates were nursing hangovers, I was shopping around for a spiritual home, which I found in the form of my Unitarian-Universalist church.
For most of my life, I’ve lived with intention and rarely with abandon.
And I think I’m starting to feel the weight of this.
Contemplation has its place, but sometimes life just calls for a little spontaneity—a small dose of irreverence interspersed amongst the otherwise-trying bits of living.
I write this tonight because I have had a few uncharacteristically playful moments over the past few weeks, and I am quite sure they have prevented me from cracking up during some significant stress. Either that or, I am cracking up and my behavior has regressed to that of a 4 year-old.
In either case, it feels good.
And I want to share those good feelings. So to encourage you to foray into the world of play, I’ve created a list of some things that have brought me unexpected and simple joy the past few weeks (along with some things I haven’t quite worked up the nerve to do just yet).
Have fun and en-joy! Read more here: Quiet Your Mind and Just Play (in 20 Ways) | Tiny Buddha: Wisdom Quotes, Letting Go, Letting Happiness In.

If not now, when?
When will you stop wasting your potential?- When will you make that decision you’ve been avoiding?
- When will you stop looking for ‘easy’ and starting doing ‘effective’?
- When will you stop waiting for the right time?
- When will you create opportunities rather than wait for them to appear?
- When will you stop spending money you don’t have on crap you don’t need?
- When will you stop the same unhealthy conversations, about the same issues, with the same people?
- When will you stop giving your body food it doesn’t need?
- When will you maximize your genetics rather than complain about them?
- When will you love your legs because they work & stop hating them because they’re not skinny enough?
- When will you stop wasting emotional energy on sh*t you can’t change?
- When will you stop complaining about the rain and start dancing in it?
