MY HANDPRINT

The Healing Project Book By Dennis Lantz Chapter 4 Happiness and Fear Life is not fair. It never was… and it never will be. But if you dwell on that aspect, that one minor detail, you will miss so many amazing possibilities. You will only find misery. This happens because we attract whatever we focus our minds on. If there is one, over-riding universal law it is this. Our thoughts create our reality. If you are constantly in a negative state of mind, happiness will elude you. If you watch the world through eyes of wonder, joy, and abundance, you will have countless blessings. Obviously, it is not as simple as thinking ‘happy thoughts.’ Our bodies are complex systems of chemicals, microorganisms, nerve impulses and energy. We can feed it the optimum diet and it will still fail us. In this case, the journey is far more desirable than the destination. As far as anyone knows. Maybe an amazing heaven awaits. Of course, my concept of heaven is likely different than yours. But I do thin...

The Healing Project Book By Dennis Lantz CHAPTER 3  Listening to Yourself and to Others   I saw a quote on Facebook attributed to Cheryl Richardson. She said, “People start to heal the moment they are heard.”   The majority of our thoughts often go unheard, even if we are extremely vocal. Either we don’t articulate them, or we don’t share them. That, in essence is why I am a writer. Most of my thoughts and ideas are presented through writing. There are many means for communicating. Through art or music. Whenever you are passionate about a topic, you will find a way to convey it. There is power in listening… and there is satisfaction in being heard.   Healthy connections with others are bonds of the spirit. These connections can be verbal or non-verbal. Your soul doesn’t always have to speak to be heard.   When my health problems became worrisome and I recognized that I was growing older and wouldn’t be around forever, even as I regained my health, I suddenly wan...

The Healing Project Book By Dennis Lantz CHAPTER 2 Purpose This may seem contradictory. Purpose is the most important factor in your life. But some people worry too much about it. If you are like millions, perhaps billions, of people who do not know what your purpose is, you may spend unnecessary time dwelling on it. Contemplating your role in life can be beneficial, especially if you struggle with happiness, or if you can’t seem to get your life going in the way you would like. But it isn’t necessary. Just know that your purpose isn’t meant to be worried about… it is meant to be done. Not everyone’s purpose is to change the world. But some of you will. Every purpose is of equal importance to the individual. I’ve said that The Healing Project is a guide for personal transformation and a foundation for a life of fulfillment. It’s a method to strengthen connections with our families, friends, and communities by focusing on harmony rather than on division and differences. It’s a jou...
