AS A VICTIM YOU CAN’T CHANGE WHAT IS
Blaming others for anything takes away your power!
Even if you have every right to blame your troubles on someone or something else, doing so places you in the role of victim and sets you up for one disappointment after another.
How does that work? Well, as we blame history, our family, our poverty, our
I know what it’s like to feel hopeless, when taking your own life seems like your only option. I understand how what seems like a desperate move is really just the ultimate attempt to regain your power over your own life but believe me when I tell you there is a much better way.
What if I told you a year from now you could be happy? How about a month from now? A week? A day? It can happen that quickly because that is how fast you can do one simple thing… change your mind!
When you don’t like what life is looking like around you and can’t change what is happening to you, you can totally change what you are thinking about it. The situation that surrounds you may have complete control over your person but there is no one or no thing that can have control over your mind. You mind is powerful! It can create worlds, the world that you want to live in. All you have to do is find a better thought than the one you are thinking when there is something that displeases you. It doesn’t have to be the best thought that ever was, just a better thought.
It takes a bit of practice because we’re so trained to dwell on what is but no matter how bad your circumstances seem to be, try to direct your mind to thinking something which is more pleasing to you. In time this process becomes easier and you’ll notice gradually, (or quickly depending on how disciplined your mind is) how things around you are beginning to change.
Take notice of these things. Be looking for evidence that you can create whatever it is you want by thinking the best feeling thoughts you can muster. Try this for a week and notice what happens?

Let’s recap our last issue’s subject, SYMPTOMS OF HAPPINESS.
Calling more attention to the visible evidence of our happiness will bring to us greater awareness that indeed, well being is all around us! When we feel the love that surrounds us, it makes it easy to feel happy more often in our lives.
Some of our Board members for Whisper n Thunder wanted to share with you what shows to them that happiness exists in their daily life. Here’s what they wrote:
Our Rebecca Balog told me: “Symptoms of my happiness are smiling, a fleeting feeling in my heart, sometimes a lump in my throat like I could tear up and lastly I would say energy. A full wellness moment :-) .”
Our Russ Letica says: “When I am happy I usually forgive a wrong. Happiness makes dark days bright and bright days more intense. In happiness, I am more willing to compromise instead of demand. Happiness brings a brighter outlook.”
Whisper n Thunder’s creator, Billie Fidlin tells us: “For me, I feel a clear sense of inner peace and calm. Rest comes easily. Smiles too. And my creativity goes into overdrive.”
If you were to ask me, I would have to say all of the above but let me share with you one thing I’ve noticed in particular. I have always heard that listening to beautiful music is supposed to lift your spirits. I had always found it to do just the opposite for me. A melody that would really resonate with me always left me in a mood of extreme loneliness, sadness or wanting, almost to the point of being unbearable.
I’ve just recently noticed that now I feel what others have often expressed. I can be joyful when I hear the very same songs that used to depress me and now I not only understand the power of music to raise one’s vibration but I use it as a most wonderful example of how far I’ve come, giving to me the assurance that no matter what comes I can be extremely happy through it. In my mind that is the ultimate in personal power!

health, our government or even our God we place ourselves at their mercy basically telling the Universe we have no control over anything, that the course of our lives yields to the winds of fate, luck or destiny, and that no matter what we do we have no choice but to suffer, leading us down a dark path to hopelessness.
