I'll be free soon and everything tells me thats a good sign

“You are only starting on your path to success.” From a Panda Express fortune cookie.

Some Christians believe Jesus will come back to fix this corrupt world. Certain Jewish Sects propose that the Messiah will soon appear on earth for the first time. Among Muslims, many predict the 12th Imam will return and bring salvation to humanity, In India, devotees of the Vishnu expect the avatar Kalki to arrive on the scene and carry out a great redemption. Even the Buddhist prophesy Maitreya, the chosen one who will establish universal peace. Personally, I suspect that the whole point of our spectacularly confounding moment in history is that each of us must become our own savior. The coming year will be an excellent time, Aquarius, for you to master the art of doing that: being your own savior. Moreover, it starts now. (P.S. you can perform a great service to those who haven’t yet figured out how to be their own saviors.)
From a horoscope in the Houston Chronicle, January 2007

2007 was the year I awoke from a bad dream and saved myself. I learned to shake off the numbness and reawaken my spirit within me. Now I’m learning to be happy again despite the theft of my dogs.

I just read and article (by Mary Thurwatcher, Cox News Service) on a self help book, my ex used to insist I read nothing but self help books and would chastise me when I read what I wanted, called “Happy for No reason” by Marci Shimoff. I’m not sure I want to read the book but I like the steps in the synopsis of the book.
Take ownership of your happiness. Accept that being happy is up to you and that you have the ability and power to be happier by changing your habits. Take responsibility to all the events in your life in a way that supports your happiness. Those who are happy for no reason orchestrate the events in their lives when they can. When they can’t they change their responses to those events.
Don’t believe everything you think. We have 60000 thoughts a day, I have 120000, and a lot of those are the same ones. They say 80 percent are negative. Know that your thoughts are not always true – so you shouldn’t believe everything you think. Happy people are more skeptical of their negative thoughts.
Let love lead, then focus on gratitude. Before you go to sleep think of five things you are grateful for and write them in a journal. Practice forgiveness- compassion is the key. Spread loving kindness; wish the best for everyone.
Make your cells happy. Exercise and Eat right.
Plug into your spirit. Live a life inspired by purpose. Gotta find that purpose.
