Happiness On a Path to the Truth

This question has puzzled me since I learned to think. I remember, when I was a little girl, everything was about exploring the truth of life.

From the very start, we are taught by parents, teachers, elders and priests to always speak the truth. I quickly learned that even though they said truth is a good thing, there was hardly anyone who really followed this rule. When people did follow it, they were often faced with unexpected and unpleasant results.

Like me, I’m sure you can remember telling someone the truth about something, thinking your input would be appreciated, but instead they became upset with you. Like most people in today’s world, I have learned to hide or distort the truth or to simply keep it to myself.

My life became filled with suffering, pain and depression. I felt angry inside and, hoping to escape from it all, I often engaged in self-destructive behavior, which led to only deeper negative patterns.

Often feeling weak and hopeless, I realized that I needed to change my lifestyle in order to become fully happy, healthy and independent. I decided to start with bringing more truth into my life again. But this time I was determined to discover the “real” truth, and make a lifelong habit of sharing it with others.

Ask and you shall receive…

I began to realize that thoughts really do create our reality, an idea expressed by the Universal Law of Attraction. Suddenly I experienced signs, proving this law to be very real. The more I focused on truth, love and light, the more I started to attract it into my life—like a magnet.

One day I found myself at a spiritual development center. I’d visited with hopes of finding truth. I picked up a magazine there called Healing our World. I was intrigued by their raw, living food philosophy because I had recently learned that eating meat was unhealthy for my digestive system. That same week, I responded to a job advertisement not knowing the company’s name, and to my surprise, my interview happened to be at Hippocrates Wellness.

As soon as I started working at the institute, I began converting my lifestyle according to their teachings and immediately started experiencing amazing changes in my life. Within just a few days of eating raw vegan food, I had more energy. I also started feeling happier, more peaceful and all signs of my depression began to melt away.

I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of their team. In addition to being inspired by the friendly staff, I’m learning something great and wonderful each day from the new friends I meet at Hippocrates. I also feel that just being on the property surrounded by nature and positive energy helps me awaken spiritually, ultimately bringing me closer to understanding the greatest truth—that all is one, and all is love.?Namaste
