  “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.” ― Charles Dickens,  A Christmas Carol Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies this improves your resistance to disease.

by Michael Corthell There is  a real power in laughter. No matter how you are feeling inside, a good belly laugh will change your mood. Isn't that true? You simply can't feel bad when you are smiling and laughing. Can you stay angry?  I can’t. “Laughter serves as a blocking agent. Like a bulletproof vest, it may help protect you against the ravages of negative emotions that can assault you in disease.”  – Norman Cousins Have a philosophy to love who and what you are and what you do, as well as laugh at yourself and at life in general. And why not? You're here for a short stay, enjoy this wonderful journey. I'm not saying, not to take life seriously, but you have to accept your life on life's terms—with the right attitude. So laugh and enjoy yourself, it will not only make life more fun, it could even lengthen it.         So, what do a positive mindset and good humor have to do with healing? Many studies have shown that laughter decreases stress hormones

  ''And if one member suffers, all the parts share the suffering;  if one member is honored, all rejoice with it.'' 1 Corinthians 12:26 Let me practice kindness, let me practice compassion, let me be joyful, and let me sing a song of love. Let me change one life, let me change the world. “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ― Albert Einstein

Everything is possible in the Universe, because the Universe is the 'infinite possibility' with everything contained within itself. "If there is a God who created the entire universe and ALL of its laws of physics, does God follow God’s own laws? Or can God supersede his own laws, such as travelling faster than the speed of light and thus being able to be in two different places at the same time?’ Could the answer help us prove whether or not God exists or is this where scientific empiricism and religious faith intersect, with NO true answer?'' ― Albert Einstein

  Love yourself enough to live a healthy, happy lifestyle. “I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health.”  – Voltaire

Not everybody is super-smart, but every body is. And it will heal itself if you let it. “Everything is within your power, and your power is within you.” ― Janice Trachtman,   Catching What Life Throws at You: Inspiring True Stories of Healing  

  ''For every day that you are angry, you lose 24 hours of happiness.'' When you are peaceful and happy, when you say yes to your life, when you are having fun and projecting positivity, you become a bright star at the center of your universe. “A flower blossoms for its own joy.” ― Oscar Wilde

by Michael Corthell We all complain. We sometimes don't even know that we're complaining. Sometimes a common complaint can help bond two people, but too much complaining may just break down the relationship.   ''Instead of complaining that the rose bush is full of thorns,  be happy the thorn bush has roses.'' —Abraham Lincoln Again, a positive mindset. Thank you Mr. Lincoln. We've all known people who complain long and loud, they are the ones who constantly gripe about their health, their family, their relationships, their job, and the list goes on and on. They are never happy with anything. (because they are not happy with themselves) And every time you hang out with them you are left feeling drained. No matter what you say or do, it never seems to help. There may be no arguing that they are going through a tough time, but their negative attitude certainly makes matters worse and is probably the cause of their cycle of ''bad luck

''Nobody's gettin' any younger!'' Positive aging is adopting a positive view of aging as a healthy, normal part of life. And it's the mindset that you will do whatever is needed in order to continue doing the things that you love and are important to you as you age. A recent study at Yale University showed that people who saw growing older as something positive lived an average of 7.5 years longer than those who dreaded it.

Walking on the Earth, realize that one miracle is walking on another miracle.

Beware: Most of the foods today that cause cancer, and other diseases all TASTE GOOD! They are well seasoned, processed poison. Once you start down the road to good health you will get addicted to the awesome taste of healthy plant-based foods. You will then start to wonder why you didn't start down this road sooner!

Love, all there is, because love is, all there is. (Isn't that so pilgrim?) There are a lot of counter-intuitive things in life, things like, 'the meek shall inherit the Earth,' and a soft heart is a strong heart, and a hard heart is a weak heart. Yeah, things like that. “God whispered, "You endured a lot. For that I am truly sorry, but grateful. I needed you to struggle to help so many. Through that process you would grow into who you have now become. Didn't you know that I gave all my struggles to my favorite children? One only needs to look at the struggles given to your older brother Jesus to know how important you have been to me.” ―  Shannon L. Alder

  Living in your home, with your house in order is the simplest, most gratifying life. Earth is your home, take care of it. The human race is, and has been for over a generation, in the middle of a revolutionary paradigm shift in consciousness, one that will only change our entire global civilization for the better - a New World. I'd like to build a world a home And furnish it with love Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow white turtle doves I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony I'd like to hold it in my arms And keep it company I'd like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand And hear them echo through the hills For peace throughout the land That's a song I hear Sing it along Let the world sing today Over and over I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony La, la, la, la To, do, do, do, do, do La, la, la I'd like to build a world a home And furnish it with love Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow white turtl
