We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels  the noblest, acts the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>TRANSLATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Life has ebbs and flows. There\u2019s no such thing as endless flow. Unfortunately life can sometimes feel like ebb, ebb, ebb, brief-flash-of-flow, more ebb, ebb, ebb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">But every ebb always offers the opportunity to think a new thought flavor and feel a new emotion flavor!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The more varied the flavors of life you get to taste, the more interesting, layered, educated, self-developed, world-experienced and mightier you will be!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong> YOUR ASSIGNMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">If your feeling challenged from the challenge you took &#8211; thereby tempted to think negative thoughts &#8212; stop and ask yourself: &#8220;Are these thoughts leading me forwards to the happier life I want \u2014or backwards to making me feel negative, depressed and stuck?&#8221; Consciously choose thoughts which move you forwards! Use this word \u201cforwards\u201d as your mantra every time a negative belief enters your head!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Prince-Harming-Syndrome-Relationship-Essentials\/dp\/084370926X\/ref=pd_cp_b_2\">The above is adapted from PRINCE HARMING SYNDROME &#8211; which has highly complimentary praise on the back cover from BOTH Jon Stewart and Deepak Chopra!
