There is a difference between being alone and feeling alone. Feeling alone (Abandonment) can make you feel empty and unfulfilled which can aggravate your internalized stress, feed despair, and intensify self-doubt. Being Alone (Solitude) can bring fulfillment through inspiration, provide freedom from distractions, and nourish body, mind, and spirit. In this class you will begin to understand that it is your perception that determines whether your experiences are negative or positive.  Being happy or feeling loved is not a result of your relationship with others, but the result of your relationship with yourself. This class can help you understand why it is necessary to develop self-acceptance and self-love before you can be alone without feeling lonely.

This class will introduce you to the process of emotional self-defense, so you can begin to let go of old hurts, resentments, and disappointments.

We all have desires.  Whether you desire something material like wanting a new house, making more money, or taking a luxurious vacation; or you desire something intangible like wanting a meaningful relationship, feeling safe, independent or confident, all of these desires depend on your ability to manifest.

Learning to maintain a positive attitude can mean the difference between triumphing over difficult circumstances and succumbing to them. However, it’s not always easy to hold the mind steady when fear and uncertainty enter our lives. Cultivating a positive outlook will help you survive hard times if and when they happen,

• How about you? Are you thinking positively? Or has your thinking become negative?  Are you wishing you could maintain a more positive attitude? Are you always in the middle of uproar and drama? Perhaps it’s time to stop and take a personal inventory.
• Sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself only works for a short while. Eventually it is time to do something about it. How you plan to tackle your problems will greatly determine how well you resolve them and how much stress and anxiety you experience in the process.
• There is not one single person who is born with a natural ability to remain positive. It takes work and effort to see the silver lining on the clouds that we encounter; and we must train our thoughts to remain optimistic when we experience challenges. Sustaining a positive attitude can bring success to your personal and professional life.

• Pride is a sin when it becomes arrogance, conceit and vanity. Sinful pride exaggerates one’s abilities and accomplishments and ignores one’s imperfections and failings.
• Pride makes people believe that they are better than everyone else and “above the rules” so that way they can rationalize behaviors such as lying, cheating, stealing, insulting, and refusing to accept authority over them ,trying to cover up deep feelings of inadequacy with having the best clothes, the best furniture, being the most fun at every party. It can be downright pitiful.
• Pride stops people from learning and growing, apologizing when wrong, forgiving when is due time.  Pride make you hold on to pain and keeps happiness away.
• Learn to let go of false pride and see how different your life can be.

• Happiness is an attitude.  We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong.  The amount of work is the same. Your present actions determine your future. If you constantly moan and are dissatisfied with your circumstances, in the future you are sure to meet with more of the things you are unhappy about.
• Our attitude is an asset, when you have the right attitude you can change anything for yourself that you wish to change. Our attitude influences our determination when we are faced with new challenges.
• Your success or failure in life hinges on your how you see yourself. Don’t just react to your life, create your life. Change your thoughts from what you don’t want and what you don’t like into thoughts of what you do want and what you do like.
