Many people are living a life that is steeped in unhappiness, it is steeped in regret and unwholesome feelings and thoughts that it is controlled by parents or religious or culturally based family entities.

Forgiveness

Part of the Life Doctor series
As essential aspect in life for if we can't forgive then we tend to be consumed with anger which eventually tears us up inside and we suffer by our own hand and it results in mental anxiety.

Coming Out - Accepting Yourself
by John Rushton
read by John Rushton, Jay Tamkin
Part of the Life Doctor series
Understanding not only who you are but you are absolutely great just the way you are and that nothing need to change to make others happy. Self-imposed fears and inadequacies and upsets need to be dismissed. Religious families, cultural backgrounds, etc, so what?? You were not born to fit in to other's ideas of life. If "love" is present then it overcomes and accepts, if love isn't present then "conditional love" (which is selfish rubbish) takes over. You are entitled to be happy just the way you are.

Everything we do or thing about emanates from within our mind. It's how we perceive life, love, cry, shout, smile, enjoy and all the rest, it happens nowhere else.

Controlling Your Emotions
From Head to Heart: The Science of Emotions
by John Rushton
read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
Our emotions enhance our life walk, we have love, joy, happiness, pleasure, kindness, and all that makes life worthy of what it is. If we ever let our emotions take over then we lose the ability to reason and see the bigger picture which is what happens in some cultures and religions where their brain almost shuts down.
Wisdom, understanding and compassion go a long way to seeing what is right in the middle of turmoil. There are those that don't engage brain and go into a panic as a defense against having to think and those which look at a situation knowing that if they let go of their feelings they would never find a solution or a way out. We must at all times never allow our negative emotions to take any place in our thoughts otherwise we will end up in a worse place that we ever anticipated, they never do us any good and never find a home in good people.
You do have a choice in life as to how you think as your emotions come from the same place, use wisely.

We live in our minds nowhere else. We laugh and cry there. We enjoy and suffer there. We become active or lazy there.

The Asian Legacy
by John Rushton
read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
There are some excellent traits in the Asian culture yet at the same time when they were first originated the world was a different place. Some cultural aspects have not moved on and their outmoded, selfish, thoughtless ways are still inflicted or demanded by loveless parents that want their own way and try and use lies and emotional blackmail to get whatever they want.
Similarly the use of "my culture" and "my religion" is used as if these two things are paramount to life, they are not and many have found out that both can be as two faced and as derisive and underhand and as selfishly used by parents and family to subvert offspring and others into again getting their own way... It causes untold heartache and stress and anxiety amongst the children and induces much backbiting and squabbling too.
Family feuds have arisen purely over selfish domination nothing more - so where does love come into all of this? You were brought into this world free, let it remain so, others have no control over you unless you give it to them.

read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
It is important to feel fulfilled. Being fulfilled is not the same as everything being OK, it's a feeling that whatever you are doing whether it is voluntary work, making your business grow, being a mom, whatever is giving you a feeling of purpose.
It is different things to different people, but whatever it is we need to feel that there is something in life that has a value that resonates well within, even if it is just for ourselves.

Staying on Top

If we can't steer our course in life then life will by default take us to a place where it wants to go, which is not always where we would wish to be.

Part of the Life Doctor series
So many people get so much wrong because they only "think" that what they are saying is correct and it's far from it. The ability to be correct or if not sure shut up is within you.

Mental Health

read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
Mental Health today is becoming a big issue. It can manifest itself in a whole manner of guises and with the exception of clinical disorders one can usually and very successfully self remedy the situation. Talking yourself into a depression shouldn't be on the agenda yet many do just that then wonder why they are like they are. There are other types of mental anguish that people get into and it is aligned to how they feed their minds and the detritus they gloat over in glossy magazines and cheap gossip columns.
What we say and do we get feedback from ourselves so subliminally we get caught up in our own demise and then fuels even more negativity or places aspects of life beyond where you can reach it all and thus a degree of morbidity ensues. This audio-book goes through a series of protocols and scenarios that we can often get caught up in.

Political Correctness

Part of the Life Doctor series
There is no legal structure to Political Correctness, it is made up by people assuming responsibility on the behalf of others without official consent and imposing their own views and ideology on to others and the way they wish to outline their own speech.

The irony of this is many companies seek Out Of The Box thinkers yet employ morons to look for them. Never be put off by others not understanding you or accepting you, this is about you not them.

Success, Failure & Life

read by John Rushton

Success and failure are natural bedfellows, without failure success doesn't exist. How we view life and those around us is entirely dependent upon ourselves. What others think about us is about them not ourselves. You never fail until you stop.
Attitude
From Head to Heart: The Science of Emotions

read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
Attitude is everything. People will view us, judge us, accept us, reject us, help us, keep away from us, want us as friends, want to steer clear of us just based upon our attitude. Our Attitude is a culmination of who we are, it's in fact part of our "Shop Window" it also reflects us as people, so if it is shoddy then that is how people will see you.
Don't forget other people have a life which predominantly doesn't include you, so if you want others to help you or befriend them then if you give off the wrong signals then you have from the first moment lost the opportunity.
Love (Concise Version)
From Head to Heart: The Science of Emotions
by John Rushton
read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
Love is that element in life that we need to make it wholesome and full of meaning. We need to love and be loved, for if we are not we have a void within us that won't ever be quenched. Even if one chooses to be single there is usually a significant few that make it all worthwhile. There are many aspects of love as it literally consumes all areas of our life especially when we are under pressure or feeling low. Love is a healing, comforting, stabilizing presence within us.
Where love is evil isn't and where love is we feel more of the hope and ability to endure what we are going through than those who seek to flaunt love for material or selfish reasons. One should never ever overrule love it is there for a purpose and it never runs out. The more love you give to others the more it is replenished.

Love is that essential ingredient that makes life worth living, it seeps into every corner of our lives and where real love is evil can't be there. Where love has the upper hand devious and cruel existences can't survive, happiness is the only thought that survives.
Evil religions have conditional love hence they are evil. But real religions walk the "love walk". Whether you believe or not you need love to survive and enjoy life the best you can otherwise it will leave that empty feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Emotional Hurt

Part of the Life Doctor series
Emotional hurt is what we get when our minds are not at peace with life or what is discordant within us. It expresses itself differently in everyone. However the bottom line is much of the hurt we perceive is down to ourselves.
We cannot take hurt on board unless we allow it to happen regardless of the content or who said what or what has happened. We are not super-humans, we can't just switch off but we can reduce the burden by not allowing negative emotions and other people's perspectives ruin the clarity of the moment and life itself.

Breaking free from narrow family pressures, evil religious doctrines, loveless situations, hopeless ways of life. We need to walk our walk not that of others, no matter who they are... No one has a right to tie you down with feigned responsibilities or emotional blackmail.
No one if they have love in their hearts would dream of not allowing you to prosper and indeed would help you do so. If people want to selfishly hold you back it says more about them than it does about you.
Ethnicity & Religion
From Head to Heart: The Science of Emotions
by John Rushton
read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
Religion is a man made construct, our ethnicity is who we are from a source point of view, colour, creed, mentality, location, etc. It is often intermingled and here lies the problem for many where repression as opposed to freedom is the norm.
God is pure love, but is your God pure love. This is discussed. People can be evil in themselves yet call themselves religious and by their own thoughts "good people" whereas in realty they are anything but.
Ethnicity can bring with it traditions and outmoded cultures that hinder and stagnate lives as opposed to giving them meaning and credence. Many who associate with various religions and their ethnicity often do so through indoctrination and by default suffer accordingly.

Life throws spanners and stuff in our pathway which takes us off guard and makes us feel vulnerable. Whether it is financial, relationships, health, work, whatever it is. Turning that around and being the best and fabulous person you are isn't a feat of dexterity it is just a mind shift.
It can be difficult to motivate yourself when you are feeling low and vulnerable, but you can do it without too much effort and trouble. You need to respect yourself and not allow your mind talk to talk you down, nor the voice of anyone else either.

Getting Upset
From Head to Heart: The Science of Emotions
by John Rushton
read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
We all get upset from time to time. It happens when people do things to us when we wouldn't have done the same to them. When we get bad service from our bank or other company, it happens everywhere. Then there are those useless politically correct morons who are forever getting upset or offended because they can't get to grips with free speech and that others have different views than they have.
We need to understand why we get upset and what we can do about it, just sitting there wallowing in your own negative juice isn't going to help nor solve anything. Our own attitude and feelings need to be appeased and understood and we need to similarly see the bigger picture and incorporate your own worth and value in that. So many people get upset and make an issue out of it as it plays on their ego, they don't respect themselves and thus get caught up in a spiral of anger and upset.

Bereavement

Part of the Life Doctor series
There is much made about death / bereavement, but there shouldn't be because whatever you do or don't do after the death of someone, no matter how close, it is not going to make any difference whatsoever.
Nor does a demonstration of opulence and grandeur show any more love than a single bunch of flowers, other than appease your own ego. Turning up to a funeral of someone who you haven't seen for years is hypocritical unless you are a celebrity and then its justified exposure.
Life is for the living not the dead, that will come to us all eventually. The pomp that religions dress up services with is rubbish, if you are drowned at sea or eaten by a lion does that mean that God wont know? Of course it doesn't. And if you are an atheist then who cares you're a mistake anyway so you've gone back to bone meal for tomorrow's flowers.
