Today, it seems as though feeling good really matters to the younger generation. Everything needs to feel really good. The problem is, things can feel good one minute and not good in the next minute. An example of this is getting trophies simply for participation so you can “feel good” about your effort even if you are not successful. Also, we need to “talk everything out” so we can all feel good but that is not how the world works.

Your Attitude Towards Yourself This is so important simply because you have to be with “YOU” 24/7! What kind of relationship do you want with yourself?

Everyone has it. What is your tolerance when dealing with others? http://illuminationacademy.net/ink094  It’s not about saying someone is worse or they should be a different way; it comes down to what we can do to respect each other. We all have the Divine Spark.

Kisma has said before and it bears repeating, attitude is an energetic container of how you perceive and experience your life. People feel the word action is about work and productivity. Your attitude towards work is going to change the game.
