Take Care Of Yourself - The Way To Happiness

One of the first precepts of The Way To Happiness is to “Take Care Of Yourself”. You can watch a really neat video of this precept one YouTube titled The Way to Happiness Video: Take Care of Yourself.

This first precepts has several key points that make up taking care of one self. Here are some of those points:

1. Get care when you are ill
2. Keep your body clean
3. Preserve your teeth
4. Eat properly
5. Get rest

As promised before, I’m going to give some of my own real life examples of applying this. I’m going to give you can example of eating properly. Today candy, soda (pop), potato chips, and many other sweets are really available. Usually when I attend some sort of function for an organization such as a party, benefit or event of some kind at least one of those sweets I mentioned above is being offered as something to eat. I remember a distinct time then I was offered some pop and some other sugary foods I said to the host “no thanks”. It was just as simple as that. Which made me feel good that I kept my integrity in and did not eat those things. But the most amazing this was that the host and another guest said you know I really should not be eating this stuff too and they both did not eat it either. Very cool, by following and putting in my own Way To Happiness other put in theirs - which actually is another precept "Set a Good Example".

How To Be More Successful Seminar Was A Success!

This weekend at the Church of Scientology Pittsburgh there was a seminar on "How to be more Successful than you ever Imagined". The seminar was amazing and made obtaining my goals and all of those that attended seem easy and totally accomplish-able.

Although there was about 4 main points that where touch upon that will lead to making you more successful, the main one I look back with me is making positive postulates with no counter thought over what I want and in life in general. Have you ever just decided this is what I want and didn’t have any thought that you would not get it and then you got it - well that’s just it.

I know it might sound simple but it really works. Know you are going to get something and not having any other counter thought on that and BAM you get what you wanted. Personally I’ve had many times that I’ve done this. One time in particular sticks out. I was playing bingo in school for bonus point towards an upcoming test and I had the thought I knew I could win this and get those bonus point. I had no doubt that I wouldn’t win. When I had one chip left to call bingo it was so real that I was going to win anyone could have asked me if I thought I would win and with no pause or hesitation in my voice I would quickly answer YES. I knew and had no doubt that I was going to win and you guessed it I won! BINGO!

The rest of the seminar was great and I learned a lot from all of the speakers.

The Way To Happiness

What is the way to happiness? I thought it would be nice to write a post on how one can obtain happiness in life. As one wins at something this brings him pleasure but when one wins at life he experiences true happiness and greatness. And to find the answer to "what is happiness" I look to a book appropriately titled "The Way To Happiness" which is a moral code based wholly on common sense by L. Ron Hubbard.

I’ve read the book several times and continue to re-read it. It’s amazing how common sense can change your life and light the way towards happiness, freedom and greatness. The book consists of 21 basic principles that will guide you to lead a life of great quality and satisfaction.

I wanted to share this book with people because I want to see others gain the benefits I have from it plus trying to live in a world where it is chaotic, dishonest or generally immoral is rather hard and this book will help improve those conditions.

As I look around the world I see there can be change and things could and can be much better than they are. Much of the same way I look at my life and other around me, I know things can be better and we can all be much more happier than we are. So in the coming posts I’m going to write some of my own real life examples of applying the basic principles contained in the book The Way To Happiness, how I applied them and what success I’ve had from it.

Till then check out The Way To Happiness website or read the The Way to Happiness E-book

New Scientlogy Church Locater

This is a really cool tool for anyone wanting to know where a local Scientology Church is near them or if you just want to check out where churches are around the world. It’s a new locater in beta stage right now. It uses Google maps and provides driving directions to churches as well as contact information.

It’s amazing to see how many churches there are around the globe! I checked out some other counties like Germany - I didn’t know there are so many Churches over there.

Oh ya, the locater also gives you links to the churches websites. Just click on the church (yellow markers) and a balloon pops up with information and links to that church’s website / contact information. That’s also how you can get directions to that church (click the directions link).

Check out the locater your self and see what you think - Scientology Church Locater.

Amazing Scientology Church Tour Video

I just watched an amazing new video tour going through the Church of Scientology. It’s a really nice introductory video on the inside of a Scientology Church, types of services are offered and what Church is like for a Scientologist.

I think it’ll especially be of interest for anyone who might be curious as to what the inside of a Scientology Church is like. The video gives you a guided tour showing you church services. And goes into the actual services so you can see exactly what Scientologists do. As well, you can hear from Scientologist and what they have to say about their Church.

All in all it provides a great overview of what it’s like to walk into a Scientology Church just about anywhere. To see the view go here: Inside a Church of Scientology Video or go to www.scientology.org and click on “Beliefs and Practices” tab and then select “Inside a Church of Scientology”.

Pittsburgh Scientology

Many in the “burgh” might be unaware there is a Scientology church here in our local city of Pittsburgh. It’s a great place to go to and find answers to questions or problems you might have, even if you’re already this or that religion. I’ve found a lot of answers to things that have come up in my life just from reading some of the works by L. Ron Hubbard and applying what I read.

It’s quite interesting how you can handle things with such ease once you have more knowledge about a particular subject. You should stop in the Church and see what help with things you can get - it’s located on 1906 Carson Street (phone: 412-431-2927).

It’s helped me a lot, currently I’m reading a few books by Mr. Hubbard and without that I don’t think I would have been able to make some of the decisions I made in the past few weeks on what direction to take my job and work. It’s invaluable to be able to have something that helps me take a step back from what I’m going and get the “big picture”.
