Thirsty Thursday: Ascension Galleries wants you to reach your full potential in whatever you do, but maybe you dont know what that is... Who are you?.....What do you want for yourself?.......How much time, consideration and knowledge are you putting into the dreams and aspirations you have for yourself? Lastly......Are you strong enough to endure what this field is all about? Most people have it wrong. Most folks think that by gathering more stuff, theyll finally find happiness. But often, you can find true happiness RIGHT NOW, in this moment, simply by letting go. Here are 4 things that you can let go of that will make you a happier, more peaceful person by the time you hit the sack tonight: 1) Let go of the need to impress others. If youre a human being, chances are you care about what other people think of you. After all - we are naturally social creatures! But if you find yourself spending too much of your time, money or energy trying to impress other people and get their approval, youre not being true to YOU. Theres no need to try and be something youre not, because who you are right now is FABULOUS! Focus instead on living the most authentic version of yourself. When you fully embrace who you are and share it with others, youll find that people will appreciate how REAL you are and will flock to you effortlessly. :) 2) Let go of the need to be right. Sometimes when we feel weve been mistreated or misunderstood by someone, we can get caught up into wanting that person to admit theyve wronged us. And we want an apology! Or at least acknowledgement that we are right and theyre wrong. :) The problem is that not all human beings see things from the same perspective. In your world, youre right… but in their world, so are they. There are definitely times where an apology is necessary. But most other times, rather than allowing feelings of negativity to take root inside you and start spilling over into other areas of your life, it may be best to ask yourself this: Do I want to be right? Or do I want to be happy? Often its just our ego that keeps us holding on to past resentments and upsets. Instead, consider letting go of the desire to be right and youll find youll instantly restore happiness and contentment in your life. 3) Let go of the desire to gossip. Ive heard it said that gossip is just a cheap way to make yourself feel good, and I have to agree. We all know that gossiping about other people is… well, not so good. But when the people around you are doing it, it can be easy to slip into doing it, too! Consider though that the quality of your life depends on the quality of the conversations you have. If you want to live a more fulfilling life, start by embracing the power of your word. Your voice is powerful! And what you have to say makes a difference. Be committed to having more positive conversations about things that matter… not people… and youll be surprised how quickly youll brighten your outlook on life. 4) Let go of the past. Its easy to dwell on the past, especially when the future is so unknown! Looking to the past can feel safe… we know what has happened and we know what we could do to change things… if only we had the chance. The truth is, though, that you never will have the chance to change the past… Not unless scientists finally invent a time machine. ;) Your past has served its purpose - its brought you to the place you are today and made you the person you are now. And who you are right now is absolutely perfect. Be grateful for your experiences, but know that NOW is all you have. So do your best to enjoy each moment. Give yourself the gift of being present!
