Dain Heer – Being You, Changing the World
Tez: Describe what you see in the happiest people you’ve met
Dain: The happiest people I’ve met function from an allowance of everything, and allowance is where everything is just an interesting point of view. This means that no matter what comes at them, they are like a rock in a stream; all the thoughts, feelings, attitudes, emotions, judgments of everyone else come at them and they wash off them like water off a ducks back. It’s an amazing recipe for happiness. If you want to instigate that in your life, then take the energy of anything that’s still upsetting you in your life and say “Interesting point of view. I have this point of view” and you’ll notice that the energy shifts. Then say it again and notice the energy shifts again. You may have to say it anywhere between three and twenty times, but it will life the energy if you allow it, and are willing to let it change. It’s actually one of the little known keys to happiness.
Tez: You had a very challenging upbringing. What did your experiences teach you about life?
Dain: What those experiences really taught me is that I’m not a quitter, I’m not a victim and I have the courage and perseverance to carry on, no matter what happens. What’s interesting is that’s directly contrary to what I thought had happened. I thought those situations had destroyed me. It took me looking from a totally different place to realize that it hadn’t destroyed me, it gave me an awareness of the strength I actually have. I think that happens for a lot of people who have experienced adversity, who have experienced abuse, and made the demand that they come out of it – they get a sense of their true strength, their true power and their true capacity.
