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.
It's a sad situation to be in, but if love was there in its full force this would not have happened. It is imperative to live your own life and break free from the shackles of selfish and narrow stupidity.
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. Some people actually hold on to "unforgiveness" as if it's a credential in life giving then some kind of kudos and value, in reality it's called stupidity.
The Feeling to Be Needed

read by John Rushton, Phil Ray
Part of the Life Doctor series
We all need to feel wanted and loved and respected, we need to be able to do that too for others. When this is not present we become "needy" and that has implications. Many problems exist from within our self, the fears of being let down or past scenarios etc. We have to "let go" to enjoy all the good emotions around us. If we don't have good people around us there's a good reason.

Emotional Hurt

read by John Rushton
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.
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.
Spirituality

Part of the Life Doctor series
Spirituality is brandished about today as an almost surrogate stance for God. For people that have a foot in both camps - just in case. When they don't want to commit to a religion it is fashionable to say "I'm Spiritual" or worse still "I believe in the Universe" whatever that means.
But spirituality isn't what most people think it is and it is definitely nothing to do with "New Age" stuff in fact nothing is. New Age is for the lost and bewildered. This audio-book tells about Spirituality and what it means.

Life Stops and Starts Right Here Right Now
From Head to Heart: The Science of Emotions

read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
We would all like at times to change or alter aspects of our lives. Some people are is desperate need to alter their lives radically, but we do have second chances every day, there is nothing stopping us other than ourselves. Yes there may be implications as to what we want to do and it may get others upset or their feathers ruffled, but that's for them to deal with not you.
You are in charge of your life and have as much right as anyone else to do as you please and not be dictated to by "unwritten" rules and regulations and circumstances. Either accept your life as it is or change it, but don't moan and groan and do nothing as that leads nowhere.
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.
Desperate for Love

Part of the Life Doctor series
Many people are "desperate for love" as if it will solve all their problems, well it won't. It might be a dream come true but it won't change life you have to do that. Those with that "I've got a lot of love to give to the right person" are usually the most selfish as they tend to hold on to love and not give it to others, hence they are usually forever single.
If you can't love others then you will be constantly seeking that "illusive" person that exists only in your mind. The more you love others the more love will flow freely within you and vice versa, the more the target your love the more you will alienate yourself. Anything done is desperation has ready made flaws. Yes it's good to have that special person but life is holistic and that comes with others baggage too, it's not just about you. If you don't think things through or have an idealistic view on life then you are going to be constantly disappointed.

It's often said that ignorance is bliss and to some extent it is because if we don't know we carry on and do something not weighed down by negative possibilities. On the other hand, if we don't know we can make mistakes. So, what do we do. The biggest problem we will ever have to face is our self.

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.

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.

Bereavement

read by John Rushton
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.

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.
Talking for the sake of it is pathetic and reduces your own chances and ability and friendship circle. Speak your mind, but make sure it's not your version which may be so wrong to everyone else and the truth.

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.

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.
