Money and success can't buy us love, happiness or inner peace. So, by all means, we go after our dreams. But we don't set it up so our happiness and inner peace depend upon fulfillment of those dreams. We find ways to be happy and at peace with ourselves and our world regardless of the good fortune or strife in our lives.

Maybe eating corn flakes for breakfast every day for fifty years is a good thing. Maybe it's not. Maybe variety is the spice of life. Maybe "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Perhaps we should challenge our habits and routines by occasionally doing the unexpected, choosing an alternate path, and discovering the limitless potential of the universe to surprise us when we surprise ourselves.

When we isolate from others we are avoiding dealing with our problems and we are reinforcing our dysfunctional view of ourselves and our world. Best to engage in the world and learn how to effectively navigate the slings and arrows. Best to quiet our mind, free it of the noise tsunami that bombards us 24/7. Best to conquer our ego which thinks it's us against them, kill or be killed.

The Law of Attraction is essentially a request to the universe for help. If we send that request with a smile, we are increasing our potential to attract the cooperation and support of others. If we send that request with a frown, we are sending a mixed message and are, therefore, sabotaging our efforts. Best that our thoughts, our facial expressions, our body language, our words and our deeds all reflect our desire and commitment to the better life we are hoping to manifest.

When we don't respect boundaries and push forward in our desire to manipulate a situation and get the outcome we prefer, we end up creating resentments and pushing people away.

Gandhi was a champion of non-cooperation with evil in the form of peaceful resistance and non-violent demonstrations. Martin Luther King, Jr. shared this philosophy. Perhaps we should try to practice what they preached.
