• “We’re Here for a Good Time, Not a Long Time.”           

                                                                         —  Tamara Lynn

 

Recently this phrase, which I heard at a meeting, brought a smile to my face as it resonated with me and my beliefs on life and our time here.  Though I’m not sure if it was a requote, this had little bearing on the smiles the turn of phrase initiated with me and other folks present, so I jotted it down for your and posterity’s pleasure.

I guess it captures for me in a handy little turn of phrase what is also espoused by many New Thought and Self Help Modalities of nature of what a good life is in the time we have in this incarnation.

Examples of where else we see this philosophy include:

• Real Love (www.reallove.com) a teaching that goes something like:   If I feel badly, I am doing or thinking something wrong.
• Abraham Hicks (www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/index.php) teaches we to be choosing better feeling thoughts
•  Alcoholics Anonymous strives for and believes in a Creator who wants us to be Happy, Joyous and Free

This list is by no means exhaustive as many of the gamut of self help books out there generally say something to this effect. 

And how to have a good time?

Well, if I am grateful, allowing, present, and have done the work to know what I want, I’m usually pretty peaceful and happy.

What makes you happy and peaceful?

Happily yours,

Yucel
