When you smile the world smiles with you
Greenman Coaching ~ Thought of the Day
"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."
(Dr. Suess )
When you smile the world smiles with you.

 I was flipping through Richard Bach’s Messiah’s Handbook – Reminders for the Advanced Soul and I came across this: “Why bother to live an unhappy life.”
What a wonderful perspective! What a great reminder. We do choose so very much in our life. Even if we don’t choose a particular situation or circumstance - some action – we at least get to choose how we respond to it.
What I really like about Richard’s quote is the “Why bother…” part. To me it implies a good amount of effort, and in truth to be unhappy does require more energy than be happy. If it were not true then we would see more unhappy people skipping down the road, or staying up all hours of the night talking about how unhappy they are. But no, we don’t see that. Unhappy people slink along, they seem to melt into the pavement. Unhappy people go to bed early or drift into unconsciousness when ever they can. People that are happily in love stay up all night talking… people that are unhappy moan and groan for an hour or two then go to bed.
Maybe I’m just lazy… but I choose to be happy because it’s easier and feels better.
So, smile - it ain't gonna kill ya

This book by Richard Hill has a lot of elements of our reality that we face today, but may not notice. It included relegion, philosophy, quantim physics, science, and psychology that Richard has integrated in his book. It a help book that not only does it have one element that you may not suit you, but it has several that you may relate to! Great, short, and to the point! wonderful book to read to inspire you and does not take years or months- almost instant! ~Maria~
Your book is a self learning project, if you listen to yourself and know what you want and not let other obstacles and concerns from others points of views get in your mind,> as the way I read your book, I love the fact that religion is a role play here, as I believe in the Faith of God, I can relate to a lot of ways you point out in your book, just we have to find our which way we choose that suits us in our own life, very Uplifting and encouraging, lots of Hope indeed .. if we listen to our inner strength, ~Annette
