All of us want to feel great all the time, who doesn’t? Perhaps there would be none.
However, to start with, we should first begin with thinking positive, then feeling positive, then good, then better till best and, finally, great.
Certainly, we cannot feel great about anything until we feel good and positive about the self within, despite what others say or what negative things that have happened in the past. The idea is not to hide the negative, pretending that it’s not there. Instead we must extract the hidden opportunities from what appears chaotic, unfair and unwanted to us in a given situation. We must not forget the fact that everything that’s happening in our life has a reason for coming our way, trusting that it has a specific purpose. This helps us to maintain a positive outlook that would make us feel satisfied from within, which forms the foundation of feeling great. Feeling great is not a temporary euphoria. It propels us into a constant positive awareness of our self — driven by conscience. This comes when we experience our true self, the identity and resources as inherent facts of our being, not just a hope, or a theory but a reality to be experienced once in a lifetime. In quietness we connect with the reality that anchors our life in such a way that no upheaval can make us a victim. As we gain self-mastery, we feel great and confident in all situations. No excuse of hiding behind ‘because’, ‘if’ and ‘but’ and can deceive us in any way. Instead we say: ‘I can – let’s do it – now.’
So, when we have the courage to dare, to experiment, and not fear the outcome, we feel great as we haven’t simply done the usual complaining, blaming and regretting. Spiritual perspectives that emerge from quietness enable us to drive towards inner self and perceive the positive, the good, the better, the best and the great, enabling us to reach greater heights of consciousness.
