We spend so much of our time looking around, searching, hoping, wishing, working towards - for life to give us the happiness we so long for, yet we neglect to look in the most important place of all - Inside.

The processes in life may not seem to make sense at the moment, but if you're capable of standing back and being objective its beautiful lesson will become clear to you. We cannot gain this valuable knowledge if we cannot let go of the emotional aspects that keep us trapped in the pain of the moment. It only reflects our inability to cope with the situation, and ultimately will lead us to the same situation under a different circumstance.

We all understand that what we are is reflected back at us through life. Everything we are and every thing we do is a reflection of our thoughts. We can only control what is in our power to control. We have no control over what other people do, think, or say. So why should you spend time thinking and manifesting false ideas over what others are doing, thinking, or saying?

Release your mind from your own self imposed paranoia. Many of the things that run through your mind simply drain you of energy, and take away valuable time where you could be contemplating a positive outcome to your situations. If you're going through a break up, don't sit and think about your ex. Their actions are their lessons, not yours. They will figure themselves out.

Take time to reflect upon what you have contributed the situation. Were you honest with yourself in the relationship? Could you have done better? Did you listen to your partner? When we look back we can see where things went wrong in us and in the relationship. But many people cast far too much blame from being hurt to benefit from that opportunity. The focus should be on you, and how you can deal with things better so that you can have better relationships in the future.

Before we can move on we must let go of the baggage we carry from previous relationships. It is called baggage because of its negative connotations. We can't be happy when we are seeking it with tainted vision.  We must find solace within ourselves. It's a private and soulful search. Where we must find happiness in us, and stop feeling guilty for how we truly feel. Happiness is derived by being true to oneself. Being in a relationship that doesn't make you happy, or in a job that makes you miserable, will only plant seeds of malcontent and negative thought within you that is hard to remove.

Therefore, watch what you say to yourself. We can be so harsh on ourselves. The negative things we say to ourselves are so destructive. We need to turn our internal speech around today. If you hear yourself saying "I'm fat" or "I'm ugly" - STOP! Try to catch yourself out and say something nice immediately. Like, "I'm a very caring person", or "People respect me".

One step at a time, one issue at a time, let go of the negative thought processes within you so you may look at the world in a positive and beneficial light.
