The Power of Choice--A New Earth

Have you caught the wave of the NEW EARTH book by Eckhart Tolle, that is being
promoted by Oprah?

It is the largest webcast event ever held, with half a millionpeople signed up.

In case you were not yet aware, there is a revolution of consciousness going on,
and you have a choice whether to continue along in the mainstream of mediocrity or rise to a higher way of living.

Every human being has the divine powers of cognition and choice, and with the help of coaching, can create their own version of heaven on earth.

As the great self-help writer, Og Mandino said, When we were given dominion over theworld, we were also given dominionover ourselves. God is not our navigator. It was never his intention to chart acourse for each of us and thus place us under his bondage. Instead, he bestowed each of us with intellect, talent, and vision to map our own way, to write out own bookof life in any manner that we choose.

And as a modern day inspirational writer, Saran Van Brechnach says, Choice is destiny's soul mate. This means that our choices create the fabric of our lives. Every single choice you make affects your future in some way, either positively ornegatively.

I like to say that the curriculum for your enlightenment is your life. This includesthe many changes, challenges, and decisions you previously selected prior to yourincarnation, so that you could choose to grow and mature into the divine human beingyou were born to be.

To that end, the wiser your choices, the happier and more successful your soul will be everyday and eternally. Here are some choices you may encounter as you travel the path of higher understanding:

Get to be right ---Get to be happy
Be filled with poison--- Be filled with passion
Failure--- Feedback
Stay and suffer--- Go & flow
Bitter ---Better
Status Quo--- Transformation
Old problems--- New possibilities
Job ---Purpose
Stress--- Harmony
Persona ---Soul
Trance--- Awake
Self-importance ---Self-honor
Fantasy Love--- True Love
Finding fault ---Seeking solutions
Looking outside for answers--- Looking within for answers
Chaos ---Clarity
Searching--- Remembering
Stumbling--- Dancing
Drama--- Dreamy
Default Life ---Divine Life

If you have had a recent wakeup call and/or are seeking support while you read the
New Earth or other spiritual book, then take yourself to the next level and get a coach.
Whether it's working with me or someone else, it is the BEST way to integrate what you know and move from knowing to doing.

Happiness is a Decision

Success and Happiness is a feeling every human being on this planet desires in their heart of hearts. And yet most of us look for happiness in all the wrong places and end up causing ourselves more suffering.

This is because we are looking outside of ourselves for some thing or some one to bring us that feeling.

Rumi once said, We go from room to room looking for the diamond necklace around our neck.
So it is when we search everywhere for happiness, and we never see where it really is, which is with us all along.

I think we all would agree that Happiness does not depend on material things, such as driving a certain car or holding a prestigious title. (although those things can add pleasure to your life).

Happiness does not depend on other people, like whether you have a significant other or not. (although having loving and supportive people around adds to your enjoyment)

Happiness does not depend on what happens, so if you stay, it will be good and if you go, it will be good.

Happiness is not to be found anywhere in the external world.

The main obstacle to happiness is faulty thinking. For instance thinking someone or some thing can make you happy. Beware also of what A Course in Miracles calls, elusive happiness, which is happiness that changes and shifts with times and places. ACIM says this kind of happiness is an illusion and has no meaning!

So where does one find happiness?
Stop looking outside for what can only be found inside.
And make a decision to be happy.

Let me repeat that:
Happiness DOES Depend on your decision to be happy.

So, consider this, have you ever made a conscious decision to be happy?
My guess is No.
Here is your official invitation to Be Happy!
Let us join forces for happiness.

Repeat after me:
I, your name, decide to be happy right now, despite the weather, the world, or what happens to me. I absolutely know it is my God-given birthright to be happy.
And as the light of God that I am, I reclaim happiness and happiness reclaims me.
So be this.

May happiness live in your heart,

Dr. Michelle L. Casto
