When we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success. -Deepak Chopra
Precognition and Craziness
I have had many surgeries but always knew that I was going to have them. I would dream that something was wrong and with my body and it would happen. Why does this happen? I am 37, years old and I need to start working and finish school but somehow I do not think like most people. When I go out into the world I feel people’s energy. I am exhausted at the end of the day. I have always known what was wrong with my animals before the doctor. But people always think I am crazy. I am starting to think I am crazy.

Worry is anxiety backed up by excuses invented by the mind. Therefore, this is one aspect of anxiety where the mind must be taught to think in a different way. Convinced by its own beliefs, a worried mind will never abandon its habit. (more…)
Goals and Unattachment
You say that we should concentrate on our present actions and not get emotionally attached to the result. Then how should we plan our future? When we set our goals, we’re generally expecting things to turn out it a certain manner. Isn’t it how we plan our lives? How do we detach ourselves from the outcome and yet find the strength and motivation to take action towards our goal?
