Notes I took on what I heard. Hero’s Journey isn’t about doing something different. It’s about understanding. Find a negative feeling toward someone. Realize I am responsible for the negative feeling. I am making a demand…an expectation…of that person. Say “I have no right to make any demand on you.” I’ll protect myself from your actions or moods, but you can go ahead and be whatever you choose to be. If there is resistance to letting go of expectations, you are seeing your own tyrannical urges coming to the surface. We have the illusion we are kind and gentle as a lamb. We all want to run the life of the other because we love to control others by any means necessary. I’ll tell you exactly how to behave. And if you don’t, I’ll punish myself by having negative feelings. Do things for enjoyment not well. Competition can mean cruelty. I won’t allow you to manipulate me. I’ll live my life, I’ll go my way, I’ll leave myself free, I’ll follow my thoughts and inclinations. I may decide I don’t want to be in your company, but it won’t be because of any negative feelings I have toward you. You don’t have any power over me now. It’s okay to say no to people. Part of waking up is to live your life as you see fit and understand that that isn’t selfish. The selfish thing is to demand that someone else live their life as you see fit. To demand that others live for your pleasure or profit, is selfish. I don’t feel obligated to say yes to you. I no longer avoid you because of any negative feelings about you. You don’t have that power anymore. When we set a goal, we are saying “I refuse to be happy until I get my goal.” Be aware of where you are, because awareness is happiness. As awareness grows, you react less and act more. You act more from your heart and less from your head. Stop being a dictator to yourself.

Thank you, Nobody Really. Your channel.has so many wonderful clips I love. Like this one! I'm grateful for your effort creating this channel.

Thanks again for all these wonderful uploads. Thanks to you also I discovered Vernon Howard. Can I ask you a question as you must have read so many books : if you had to pick only ONE book to read for the rest of your life, which one would it be ?

Vernon Howard has many available books on his website. Also look into Guy Finley. He too is a spiritual teacher. Enjoy

Ethics, by Baruch Spinoza (actually study guides and videos, since it is so dense)
