They would rather have people walk by their particular religious agenda instead of by faith in that persons own instincts or higher power/higher calling.

I love number 4. I use to only focus on the negative side of a situation and it had an affect on me emotionally, physically and mentally. Sometimes you can encourage and advice people with the best of intentions but sometimes people are not ready to change their ways or thinking because they are set in a pattern or routine. This is very practical personal development indeed. Hi Alex, I discovered your blog on blogcatalog.

Accept this and don’t see someone’s resistance to change as a reflection on you." It is hard to see people around you crumble and we would stretch out our hands to help them but people don't want to be taught unless they are ready to learn. As the saying goes, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Cheers Vincent Personal Development Blogger Hi Glen,

I like how you started your post with "Even at 19..." =-) I was thinking that maybe it's BECAUSE you are 19 that you still understand what really matters in life. Ever since I started homeschooling my son, I have noticed that he (like most young people) naturally know to live fully in the present moment. I guess they haven't learned otherwise. They still haven't developed the fears, guilt, and worries that lead to our habit of always focusing on the past and the future. Maybe those of us who are a little older should be learning from the youth; your life lessons above are fantastic! Thanks, Lisis Hey, Glen!

When you make it your number one priority to feel good, then you allow yourself to 'create from a place of positive energy'. Along with this, is realizing that nothing around you in your environment especial people need to change in order for you feel good. Feeling good comes from within and when you're not feeling good it's because your perspective is different then that of your 'Source'. Feelings are the language of 'the soul' and you can be aligned with who you really are by paying close attention to how you feel. Here is what I learned the most: Honor your feelings as number one.
