Hi...

Hi! Yes you're right. That is a very sad thing. I believe that to appreciate and wonder are the greatest gifts of the mind. However I often wonder myself if it is possible to delve too deeply into trying to find the "right" answer.  I'm an over-analyser myself. I tend to be the kind I was thinking of in my earlier message. It was an open question/thought, not a judgement. It's a neverending cycle to get stuck in. In the end you just end up feeling badly of yourself because you never see clearly. Everybody seems to have an opinion of how we are supposed to be. So many different ways we are supposed to think/look/feel/believe.

Having had to change myself to the extreme, I'm still looking for the good things I used to see in myself. Its a hard road. I'm my own harshest critic.  But by listening and watching, I'm learning. That's the key to life isn't it? Grow a little each day?

I think in the final analysis it  ultimately your choice your decision.  It is never ever to deep..How deep is too deep only your mind is the only thing that can stop you.. Just like how high is too high..

 

My personal MANTRA is conceive believe Achieve...

 

I believe it was Dr. Dwyer  (sorry Dr. Phil) but I am catching on to this big formula to the universe and it seems like the WINNERS have a hold of it..  It is Dr. Dwyer said on a PBS special it is available to each of us.  You can ask for a thimble or drink a whole wave...

 

It is very complex to get into the whole realm of thought right now because I have to go and take my walk...

However it is a wonderful series and I did see it at the book store right near Dr. Phil's book Life Strategies....

 I used to get "analysis paralysis." And would always come away thinking I was the one that came up short. Sometimes we need a different perspective, or someone else's guidance. Our thoughts and opinions and even the way we react to situations are colored by past events and the feelings we internalized about them. I read SELF MATTERS and came to find out that conclusions I had come to in the past were wrong or misguided for current and future decisions. I was looking at the world through dark and dirty glasses. I was unable to "grow" at all. I owe Dr Phil a debt of gratitude for opening my eyes and changing the way I see the world and myself.
