Sub-Frame for a 2002 Hyundai Sonata

This is just a technical FYI- I own a 2002 Hyundai Sonata, and I just got it inspected, aside from needing front brakes, I was told it needed a sub-frame as it was corroded. Thankfully it was covered under the fantastic Hyundai 10 yr. 10,000 mile warranty.

I want to feel good ! (AKA The Power of Intention Pt. II

Whenever I feel bad, or am worrying about something I will repeat to myself five little words "I want to feel good"

Power of Intention

I borrowed my Fathers car as mine is being inspected tomorrow; I wish I lived in a state where a quick zip through a drive-thru, and a cursory review of your car sufficed as a state inspection. Well, I don't so let's just get that thought out of my head, I know that my car is running fine and everything is in perfect working order, I have nothing to worry about...

That brings me to todays topic- in my Fathers car was one of D. Wayne Dyers "Power of Intention" cassette tapes. And the segment that happened to be on was about how stress, anxiety, nervousness, etc. is not our natural state, Wayne says that our natural state is peace, serenity and calm. He goes on to say that stress is brought on by the ego; I firmly believe that. Stress enters the picture when we compare ourselves to others (who has more, who has less; whose is bigger, better, newer) these comparisons that we all are guilty of allows stress, high blood pressure, anxiety to creep right into our lives. I have read Dr. Dyers book, it is a re-tread of all the other books I have read, but Dr. Dyer has this ability to put these concepts into laymans terms, and thus easier to understand. I freely admit the sole reason that I would not accept these simple, basic principles is due to MY ego. The ego is an all-consuming entity that resides in us all; it's appetite is insatiable, it rules over our in-bred feelings of peace and serenity.

I think about this everyday- get this- whenever I get this 'gung-ho' feeling that I will practise serenity as a daily regimen, I inevitably say to myself "If you do this, people will think you are apathetic, and just don't care" Case closed!!! The ego wins again! ego 15,365 me- nil.

Not that this is a total loss, I will master this at some point in my life; of this I am confident.
