		<description>hi Kaushik, have you ever heard the song by Charlotte Church (youtube) called Imagine. She is not the one who wrote it, but it speaks of this very thing you said! I believe that your question has much truth in it! ;) due to all of our resistance, we live in a world that is striving for what we&#039;ve already been given - life, love and happiness! Namaste blessings, Jen/Sharmila

Dayne this post was great! :) I think you would really enjoy that song as well! It is called Imagine.
Blessings to you for your inspiring posts!!

		<description>@Kaushik - Very interesting one, I like that a lot. :) Thanks for commenting and sharing as always! 

@Pete - Sounds pretty far out, but in a way, I do think there is one universal connection to life, and all things. I appreciate you commenting and visiting!</description>

		<description>The very first one caught my eye! So, yes, I do believe we are connected by a lengthy rope to the cosmos and we never really have original ideas, they&#039;re just recycled and zapped through that cord. Pretty weird, huh? Great post and thank you for following me on Twitter!

		<description>What a great post!  Lots to think about and act on. 

Whenever I need to get out of my comfort zone and do something that scares me, pushes me or forces me to really face what&#039;s going on in my head and heart, I ask myself  &quot;What is the worst thing that can happen? Is it really that bad?&quot; IT works for me every. single. time. 

Thanks for the reminder!

		<description>What an excellent post! &quot;What ifs&quot; are best used to dream, rather than to regret.

		<description>Excellent post, Dayne! A lot of good thoughts !!

    * What if you could feel all the love that people really have for you, all in one moment? I bet it would be much stronger than you can imagine.

    * What if you were not so afraid to feel your emotions, and even cry about those things you know still haunt you from your past?

-----
these are especially good!! :) was thinking today it resonated with me as i looked in the mirror and the what if sounded like the first sorta only it was more like &#039;you are completely loved, what if you realized that your body was immersed in this light of unconditional love and beauty&#039;..  it felt good to realign with that thought, then i just read this! :) which reinforced a lot! :)

i realized something profound today as i was reading from this book; &quot;Many of us find it overwhelmingly difficult to speak our truth for fear of punishment&quot;.. still working that one out,.. i think that&#039;s where the re-framing comes in! cognitive refreshment, you know like when you refresh your computer page, sometimes i think we need to do that with our lives, and then all the clutter, and old belief systems or other&#039;s expectations has the chance to fall away! :)

Namaste.
~Jen
