❤️ Sarah Ban Breathnach explains:
“Jews observe the high holiday of Yom Kippur, the day of public and private atonement, a sacred withdrawal from the world for twenty-four hours in order to become right with God and others, so that real life might be renewed with passion and purpose.”

”Then a few years ago, I went to three-day seminar where the tables were turned on me. The seminar leader had a rule that any time my seminar mates or I acted like a victim—any time we blamed anyone, made an excuse, complained, indulged in self pity, or beat ourselves up—we had to put $2 into a bucket.
I couldn’t get over how many times I did every one of those things in the course of a day! When I was late, I blame the line at breakfast. Oops! There went $2. When I complained that I was too cold, it cost me another $2. (After all the seminars I’ve taken where the rooms are like iceboxes, you’d think I’d know to bring a sweater.) Blaming, feeling shame, and complaining had become so automatic that I was unconscious of doing them. I spent the whole day emptying my wallet, but the $2 fine was a small price to pay for learning how often I played the victim.
I wasn’t alone. By the end of the three days, our bucket was full to the brim. (We gave it to a local charity.) And we were playing the victim game a lot less—just by paying attention to our habits.
I recommend you try this exercise for one week with your family, coworkers, or friends and see what happens. My guess is that you’ll end up having collected some big bucks for charity too. Your new awareness will benefit you as well, providing clear cues for switching to the habits that support being Happy for No Reason.”

“An apple blossom in the springtime appears to be a pretty little flower, yet it has intent built into it and will manifest in the summer as an apple. Intention doesn’t err. The acorn never turns into a pumpkin, or the apple blossom into an orange. Every aspect of nature, without exception, has intention built into it, and as far as we can tell, nothing in nature questions its path of intent. Nature simply processes in harmony from the field of intention. We, too, are intended from the energy of this field.”
–Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
