Don't Worry, Be Happy

There are so many things that we consider as problems and the reality is that they have not yet occurred. I appreciate the way Mark Twain expressed it, "I'm an old man now. And I have known a great many problems in my life... most of which never happened." Most of us fall into this way of thinking. More things are imagined than are real. We fuel situations in our minds and they become so large they appear to be monstrous to us. As we give them shape and form, they consume our very life's force. The issues of this world can be managed reasonably. Even in adversities we can learn techniques that will help us to manage the associated stress. We create stress by our own inability to relax, relate and release. Now that I have learned that disease serves only as the proxy for the real culprit, stress, I have decided to follow a path that will lead me away from the slayer and start to embrace a life that incorporates wholeness and completeness.

I truly want others to follow me down this yellow brick road to happiness and wellness. I say to you as we embark upon this journey--don't worry and be happy!
