Essence of Well-Being

Well-being entails a lot of various aspects. The dictionary defines it as: a contented state of being happy, healthy and prosperous. And though this is a good definition, it is quite vague and lacking substance. It is so much deeper in scope than this definition implies. And even though it's a broad topic, The Essence of Well-Being can be summed up in a nutshell. It is looking good, feeling good, having an abundance of energy, as well as a healthy self esteem and self concept. But it is even a bit more than this. It is loving life, feeling purposeful, being infused with vigor and having a zest for living. It is being well, or healthy and whole in mind, body and spirit and fully understanding the connection of these three integral parts. You really cannot have imbalance in any of these areas and still maintain a thriving sense of well-being.

Wellness is certainly more than looking and feeling good on the outside. Its scope is much wider, encompassing a rich life of wholeness, completeness and inner contentedness. Those who attain this great jewel are indeed wealthy and blessed, for arriving at this station is rare indeed. It is not an easy road and is more or less a way of life. It requires an enormous commitment and discipline to self care and self nurturing. The Essence of Well-Being is synonymous with personal responsibility. You and only you can choose it for yourself. And only you can maintain it on a daily basis as well.

Living close to God/Spirit, Zen, or the Tao is the closest link to wellness and/or well-being. And finding or making time for strengthening your connection will prove to be a work of priceless worth. The blessings you will reap for cultivating health and wellness are substantial and indeed medicine like remedies for life's maladies. The beauty of wholeness is this, when you learn how to fill yourself up, you have more to give away. The bottom line is simple, a healthy life equals wellness, happiness, harmony, peace, balance and tranquility.

Be You and Do it With Style

Who you were designed to be is exactly who and what you are suppose to be.  There is nobody else you need to be but you.  And no matter what anybody tells you, you don't ever need to change who you are to be loved or accepted.  If you really want to be true to yourself and live authentically, then you had better forget trying to please others and be what others want you to be.  Many people spend their whole lives in a popularity contest trying desperately to fit in, begging for others approval and longing to be accepted.  This is a foolish way to live and will only bring you immense heartache and pain in the long run.  Consider this, if you are constantly trying to bend yourself to fit the shape others want you to be, one day you just might break. And besides, the very people who can celebrate you for exactly who you are right now are the only people you really want to have as friends anyways.  
   

The blueprint for you is unique and something which cannot be replicated.  So rather than trying to fit in and blend, why not just Be You and Do it With Style?  Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." The person you are at your core is incredible, beautiful, vibrant and powerful.  And the talents that you bring to this world are distinctly yours. What makes you a star is being fully who you are, not trying to copy another.  The music that you hear, the thoughts that you think, the way you dress, your unique way of expressing yourself are all what makes you fully you.  Never stop doing what you feel in your heart and soul you are meant to be doing, for this is your dharma.  This is what gives you purpose, power and direction. 


In life just be you fully, on purpose, intentionally.  It takes courage to be who you are, regardless of what people think or say about you.  And sometimes walking to the beat of your own drum, the drumbeat only you may hear is downright scary.  But oftentimes it is the people who risk it all, who gain the most in this life.   Instead of running from who you are, honor and embrace who you are.  For it is only when you stop trying to fit in and just decide to be YOU, the REAL YOU that your true power awakens.  The truly great people in this world are only great because they stay true to themselves and carve out their own paths.  Be real, authentic, living to please you.  Do what you love so that you can love being you. You shine when you are being joyfully, uniquely, inspirational you.

Becoming a Deliberate Creator of Your Life

"Ask and It is Given" is a popular spiritual idea and concept these days. But I will assure you it is more than just an idea. We live in a highly responsive universe, a universe that is always responding to our wishes and requests. The grand essence, God, divine energy, whatever you want to call it, is always listening to you. The power to summon energy is always at your fingertips. It is definitely something you have to be careful with though, because whatever you ask for either consciously or unconsciously is always given.

The thing about human beings is we never stop asking and we never stop creating.  This is in essence due to the fact that we are all creative beings.  The question is are you doing this on purpose (consciously) or by default (unconsciously)?  Here's a good question for you though. Why not choose to ask deliberately and create purposefully and thus become a deliberate creator of your life?  It's a much better choice than creating by default I will assure you.  The choice is always yours to make.  You do this by your thoughts, by your continual focus, by the feelings and emotions you are emitting and feeling on a daily basis as well as by the vibrational energy you are sending out into the universe.


Becoming a Deliberate Creator of Your Life is your birthright.  The creator who designed you, designed you with the power, ability and creative energy to shape your own life and experience. So don't be foolish, use your God given magic.  Don't you dare let it go to waste. Choose what you want to have, who you wish to be and what you choose to experience in this lifetime, and then go ahead and create it with the magic that is already inside of you. 


I think we easily forget our magnificence, our extraordinary ability to fashion our lives. None of us are victims of circumstances unless of course we forget the marvelous power that resides within us.  Always remember YOU are a magnificent creator and you are fashioning your very life experience.
