1. They Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves

What’s the point in feeling sorry for yourself anyway? Mentally strong people recognize the mistakes they’ve made, and instead of dwelling upon them, they grow from them.

2. They Don’t Give Away Their Power

The mentally strong don’t allow other people to control them. They’re in charge of their own lives and their own futures, not anyone else.

3. They Don’t Shy Away from Change

When it comes to change, mentally strong people don’t run away from it,  but rather take it head on.

4. They Don’t Waste Energy on Things They Can’t Control

You’re certainly not going to hear a mentally strong people griping over things outside of their control, like crummy people at work or delays at the airport...

as·trol·o·gy

noun \?-?strä-l?-j?\

: the study of how the positions of the stars and movements of the planets have a supposed influence on events and on the lives and behavior of people.

A recent Norwegian study, found that humans born during solar minimums (periods of lesser Sun activity) live 5 years more than people born during solar periods of higher activity.

The researchers examined the lives of 8,600 people born in between the years of 1676 to 1878 and they noticed this reoccurring trend. They then established that higher Sun rays affected the amino acids during higher periods of energy – therefore damaging the acids more so than the calm, to say for lack of a better term. Of course, astrology has not been given more credence in light of this.

HJ: Life is a never ending journey of awakening and growth.  The sooner you realize this and begin embracing it, the more fun and flowing it becomes.  This is because you are aligning yourself with the natural rhythms of life and more specifically, the universe as a whole.  In this deep, fascinating interview, spiritual teacher Richard Harvey gives insight into working through the three stages of spiritual awakening.

Interview on the Three Stages of Awakening

By Richard Harvey | All Things Healing | Therapy and Spirituality

You speak of a threefold model of human awakening through deepening levels of awareness. The first level is what we usually think of as personal therapy...

We will simplify the Law of Attraction one step further for you. Intend to manifest what you love. Look for things around you that you love. Send what you love, love. Feel the love that exists in you and for you.

It all really boils down to love, in the end, doesn’t it? And that is what we wish for you – that you live your life in a continual flow of love, embracing both the in breath and out breath of love, dancing and thriving and co-creating with the unconditional love of the universe. ~Archangel Gabriel

The more clarity you gain, the less the ‘absolutes’ of your Earth-plane existence will matter.  In the ebb and flow of The Universe, you will begin to truly grasp that you are the co-creator of your experiences. ~ Creator

Written by Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness

It’s very important to keep our fire lit right now, and the alternative could be the unrelenting sadness that vies for our attention. It doesn’t take much to inspire ourselves, and all we need to do is look around at our world’s current situation to be motivated enough to want to contribute.

There’s so much we can do, but we’re the only ones who can make ourselves do it all. If we’re motivated enough, we can accomplish a lot of revolutionary things in our short time on earth. Or, we can wallow in the pits of despair, depression or general laziness.

If we do, we’ll find in the end that we didn’t properly utilize our time here and we might wish we could go back and do it all again.

Those of us who’ve had trouble feeling uplifted can find our centeredness in the form of the work we do to bring humanity into the light...
