The pain that you create now is always some form of nonacceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgment. On the emotional level, it is some form of negativity. The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how strongly you are identified with your mind. Eckhart Tolle

Your Forces and How to Use them     Christian D. Larson   PROMISE YOURSELF   To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity  to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at  the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best,  to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the  success of others as you are about your own.  To forget the mistakes of the past and press on  to the greater achievements of the future. To  wear a cheerful countenance at all timed and  give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others. To be  too large for worry, too noble for anger, too  strong for fear; and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds. To live in the  faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
