7 Keys to Staying Peaceful   1. When someone says to you “it’s your fault” and the finger is pointed in your direction with accusation. Look carefully at their hand and you will see the other 4 fingers pointing at the accuser. Relinquishing responsibility and playing the blame game is a common human trait.   This usually happens during a time of psychological pain as the feelings get more uncomfortable, we find taking responsibility difficult and therefore blame someone else. It is often hard for us to understand the pain we cause ourselves. Your world can take the blame, however it will not help you to awaken to your full potential to know yourself as whole and full of self worth.   2. This is the first step in standing back from debilitating dramas, and unnecessary conflict, all of which lowers your vibration and leaves you with outcomes that are often not what you had wished.   3. Responsibility is a 100% commitment. It is a commitment to yourself, to knowing what is creating the dramas and conflict because the truth is the 4 fingers are pointing at the owner and in a certain sense one owner is all owners. And you will want to know yourself as not separate from your creations, knowing how your thinking works for you. You are a creator and you must take responsibility for your creations   4. The law of perception, which is an immutable Universal Law says that the degree to which you value guilt will be the degree to which you defend your world and make attack upon someone else. This is where a conscious choice can be made to always choose for self responsibility, no matter the degree of difficulty felt. Standing quiet within the drama you have created feeling the feelings; owning the thoughts as being about you and not the other person and asking for help/guidance from your higher mind or universal connection However true knowledge has no choice and no opposite So what will you choose? What will you choose to create?   5. You can choose to continue with the old dramas, over and over creating the same old insanities that you play out with family friends and colleagues, or to ask what the possibilities are of releasing to new and higher vibration thinking. 6. A new way to think that will release those fear based reactions and let you have an honest and peaceful life by shifting your attention to your higher mind and away from the concerns of the limited or lower mind. This peace, you so deserve is your natural right   7. There are practical things that you can do also. The first of these may be approached through the daily practice of meditation. I simply cannot emphasize enough the importance and extreme value of meditation on many levels. Many people claim that they have no “time” to meditate, which, in and of itself is both at once ironic and symptomatic of the state most people find themselves in today. Not finding “time” for meditation is like not finding “time” for eating, sleeping and the other necessities of life, while at the same time “finding time” to watch soap operas and other such diversions such things on the TV - it is all a matter of priority, the choices being between peace, harmony and Spiritual evolution on the one hand, and uncertainty, fear and often misery on the other. What I suggest is arising 1 hour earlier each and every day, making it a habit that the Subconscious Mind will urge you to maintain, take a warm bath or shower and then meditate properly for at least 20 minutes. This will set you up for a perfect day, while putting everything, including “time” in to a proper perspective. And I wish you a perfect and wonderful day!

Take Charge of Your Thoughts They Have Power You own the power to choose each experience in your life. No, you cannot stop tragedies from happening but, how you look and deal with the effects of undesirable events in your life is your choice. You can choose whether to hold on or to let go of a life that is not working out for you. It does not have to be as drastic as disappearing & physically abandoning your current life, but it can be as simple as changing how you see things.   There was once a tale about a man who became discontented with his life in his city. He always managed to find something to complain about his family, his neighbors, his co-workers and the government. So he decided to go out into the world and find another city that will be more to his liking. He found one in the east. He stopped at the city gate & asked a man, “What kind of people live in this city?” The man smiled and answered, “The people here are happy, peace-loving, diligent, generous & kind.” “That sounds wonderful,” thought the discontented man. So he settled in.   He hasn’t lived there a full week and he already made a list of the negative things he noticed about the city. He has complains for just about anything & anyone. So he left again & soon found another city, this time in the west. As before, he asked about the kind of people who lives there. And as before, he received a promising response. He moved into the city, but in no time at all he was discontented again. So he left again & soon found another.   As it happened a wise old man was sitting by the city gate. He seemed happy & at peace. The discontented man asked him, “What kind of people live in this city?” The wise old man smiled at him & replied, “It depends on the kind of person you are.”   In the Power Through Constructive Thinking (HarperCollins), Emmet Fox said, Consciously or unconsciously you have yourself at some time or other produced every condition desirable or undesirable that you find in either your bodily health or your circumstances today. You and you alone, ordered those goods; and now they are being delivered. And as long as you go on thinking wrongly about yourself and about life, the same sort of difficulties will continue to harass you. For every seed must inevitably bring forth after its own kind, and thought is the seed of destiny. Invariably, it boils down to the law of attraction. So before you criticize & complain about others, take the time to examine your thoughts. You might be sending the wrong signals that is why you always seems to be attracting the wrong people or situations. You can blame others all you want for the rest of your life, but you will still be miserable. So be responsible for your thoughts, words & actions. Plant the seed of perfection in your mind & it will soon invade your whole life. It will attract more of the same & all you will ever see is the divine perfection in yourself, in others & everything around you. Such is the law. ==========================   Joann Ang discovered the Law of Attraction by asking a question. Since then she has become an eager student of the lessons of the universe.
