“How people treat other people is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves.” ~Paul Coelho

By nature, I am a happy, optimistic, idealistic person. I have always been one to look on the bright side and see the good in people. My usual philosophy in life is that the world is full of brightness, love, and possibilities to seize.

Recently, though, my philosophy began to fade in the face of a mild depression.

I began to cry a lot and retreat into myself rather than being social and opening up, which only furthered the problem. I felt alone, miserable, and, try as I might, I could not regain that feeling of the world being beautiful.

I felt like something had crawled into my brain and flipped all the positive switches off and the negative ones on. I felt hopeless, like it was more of a disease than a feeling.

Before the depression, I was a kind, gentle, and compassionate person. Sometimes I was even toogentle, afraid to bring up anything that might offend someone else or damage our relationship.

The term ‘psychosis’ is used to describe a mental disorder in people; generally defined by Stedman’s Medical Dictionary as – ‘a mental disorder causing gross distortion or disorganization of a person’s mental capacity, affective response, and capacity to recognize reality, communicate, and relate to others to the degree of interfering with his capacity to cope with the ordinary demands of everyday life.‘

So if a person’s mental health is subjected to this ‘psychosis’ criteria why not corporations? Here is an argument that (esp. large mega-size) ‘Corporations’ have been getting by with operating under a very ‘psychotic’ state which deserves more consideration. Corporations exhibit their brand of psychosis; ‘corporate psychosis’ which is a danger to humanity our freedoms and liberties.

Your love is by far the greatest gift you can give another. It need not matter whether they choose to accept it.  Love for love’s sake…..it is what you are designed to do. ~ Creator

What if you began each day with the words “thank you” and then immediately surrendered into wonderful? You would anchor high vibrating energy as a start point and proceed to navigate your day with the expectation and evidence of the magic and love that exists for you. How could you not have a satisfying life experience from such a practice? ~Archangel Gabriel

Can you think back to a time in the past when you really wanted to create a life-change but had a definite sense of there being both a literal and a vibrational gap between where you were and the situation or place you would much rather be?

In the intuitive coaching and strategising I do with clients day to day, I notice that this is precisely the gap that creates some of the most potent varieties of anxiety and fear. When someone steps into an initial consultation with me,  it isn’t uncommon to hear questions such as: Can I really do this? Can I really have what I want? What will others think? Will anyone ‘get’ it? Can I afford it? or How will spending money enable me to create the change I want?

How does anything ever change on this planet? Through people empowering themselves with the conviction that one person can make an impressionable difference in something. This internal belief has the power to do everything from disempowering corrupt systems to nurturing consciously evolved social ideas.

Yet, with the awareness of this power should come the awareness that we cannot force sleepers to become awakened. A sleeper is someone who has not yet realized that every single aspect within this vast and infinite matrix of consciousness that observably can be called the Universe/Multiverse is interconnected. Let the sleepers enjoy their rest… their slumber will end soon enough, when the time is right.

Humans are social creatures; there’s certainly no way of getting around that. In society, we’re told who we need to be, what we need to do, and what success truly is. But just because we’re social creatures doesn’t necessarily mean we should let other people determine what it is we should be doing. On top of it, don’t ever use other people as a measurement for your own standing. Why?

1. You ruin your self esteem.

You may see people in your life or people you don’t even know “doing better” and it makes you feel inadequate. Feeling inadequate can completely derail your progress in life, thus leaving you feeling unfulfilled and even worse about yourself.

2. You’ll get a big head.

On the other hand, if you think you’re doing better than everyone else, it can leave you with your guard down. Hubris is a natural result. You start feeling perfect, immortal, but it’s when you feel that way that kinks in your armor appear. By thinking you’re the best, you fail to acknowledge some of your short comings.
