When
your face frowns, it brings everyone down!

| There has been a lot of talk, in the past couple of years about "The Law of Attraction" and the "Secret". Both being mystic and spiritual concepts of such weight that the common person's comprehension is simply and quite literally crushed. Authors of such works as those mentioned above do what they can to simplify these concepts, which come from the very core of the cosmic consciousness. But when put too simply the very best ideas and concepts become corrupted or perverted, although they appear to have their qualities intact. Just as with everything in life we must begin with baby steps. Before any of us would be able to understand, quantum physics or the theory of everything, we would first need a solid foundation in mathematics, beginning with arithmetic and 1+1=2. So it is also with mystical and spiritual concepts.
In his 1988 song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" with it reggae like rhythm, Bobby McFerrin summed up the basis of increasing your spiritual health and wealth.
Take a moment to look at his lyrics.

Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no one to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy

These simple humor filled lyrics contain one of the foundations we
must master before we can understand the deeper expanded meanings of
concepts such as "The Law of Attraction" or any of the aspects
of "The Secret". We must learn how to be happy, how to share
that happiness with others (thus increasing our own), how to let things
go, to get things done. Walking into a room of somber folk you will feel
much differently than when you walk into a room of happy folks.
The first step in the process of gaining your personal power is to know, understand and love yourself. You must come to terms with all of those embrassing or not so attractive things about yourself. Recognize them and then move on. That is not to say forget them, but instead do not dwell on them. There are so many wonderful, amazing aspects to who you are.
Today we live in world of revenge, its motto is don't get mad get
even. Road rage is climbing to an all time high. We are trained to
be living entities of bad will. The poor and disenfranchised are to be
despised, after all their predicament is their own fault. We can not
help but be spiritually unhappy. |
