Your pet can read your thoughts whenever he or she wants to, but most of your thoughts are of no interest to anyone else, pets included. Consequently, your pets will pay attention only if something you are thinking about relates to them and they happen to pick it up. Ego vs. True Self by Vincent Cole. There comes a stage in spiritual development when you will experience the conflict between the fears of the ego and the power of spirit. An ego-based identity seeks only that which strengthens it.

Happiness -- true happiness -- only comes when you take responsibility for yourself and your actions. Your spouse can't make you happy. Your lawyer can't make you happy. Granted, momentarily they might help you achieve a "high" but you alone are responsible for how happy you are. You alone are responsible for the quality of your life. You alone choose whether to be happy in each and every moment of your life. It is ok to feel the emotions of anger, sadness, or pain. Feel them completely and then release them. Then take responsibility and action to return to a more joyous state of being. It is your choice to be happy.            All is well, Child of God.               ~ Shari Rathman ~        This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it          INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE        Help Thy Neighbor... In a book by James Bender he relates the story of a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. "How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked. "Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. I must help my neighbors grow good corn." He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves. So it is in other dimensions. Those who choose to be at peace must help their neighbors to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all. The lesson, if we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn. -- Friends of Peace Pilgrim Newsletter --  back to top of page    Your Paricipation at InnerSelf.com is appreciated * A Heartfelt Thank You to all our readers who are purchasing books and other items through InnerSelf.com.
