“I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.” Mahatma Gandhi
How open and honest are we with ourselves? How open and honest are we with others? Do we avoid the direct approach to truly expressing ourselves? If so, why?
Self-expression is innovative, it’s progressive, it is joy, it is freeing and fulfilling. Self-expression evolves who we are, what we are capable of and improves the quality of our life.

Why Was My Friend So Happy
“Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions; it is governed by our mental attitude.” Dale Carnegie
I was feeling dissatisfied with my life. I wasn’t really aware of this at the time. I felt normal. I held the belief that this is how life was. I kept telling myself that things will improve thinking that perhaps I was just in a rut. I started relying on this phrase, “If this…, then… that.”
I wasn’t experiencing any noticeable changes. Days, months and years passed. I felt quite the same – dissatisfied! I then realised that waiting on this or that to start really enjoying my life was a fucking ridiculous.

432 A Life With No Regrets
“If I were to look back on my life would I have regret for how I am living my life today?”
Not so long ago for me, life didn’t make much sense. I couldn’t make sense of what I was doing or where I was heading. I really started to wonder that if this is how my life would continue for the next 5, 10, 20 or even 30 what would be the point of it all.
And as I pondered this thought I knew I had to do something to change. The paths that I was on weren’t giving me a great deal to be excited about and I didn’t want to look back on my life regretting it. I may be absolutely wrong but I get the feeling that I am not alone. (more…)
