If you start having your own opinion it can obviously be that some people are not very happy about it but already yesterday I wrote that those who love you will be happy about it. There are a few reasons for this.
One is that everyone who really loves you wants you to be happy and strong and stable in your happiness. It is difficult to have stable happiness if you cannot have a stable opinion because all the time you actually worry in which direction you have to change your opinion now!
It is also really more fun to talk with someone who has his own opinion. Even if this means that you disagree with this person in a few points but at least you can talk deeper about something. Imagine you are talking with someone about your favourite sport and you tell him your favourite team. He immediately agrees with you and you start talking about different players and their records. If this person actually has no idea about that team or even that sport and just said it to make you happy, you will not get even one satisfying answer.
Now imagine this person says instead that he is actually more interested in arts. If you also like arts you will find a nice topic of common interest and if you don’t know much about it, you could learn something. I tell you, even if you find art as boring as sport is for your conversational partner, you will certainly find another topic to talk about.
In each way and whatever happens, it is better to be clear and honest about your feelings. Then everything is just clear, there are no doubts and no miracles. I promise that this is an easier way to live!

I find that I change my conversational style depending on who I'm communicating with. If I'm talking with someone who is passive and meek, I'm more like to find something to agree with them about and share positive sentiments in this way. If I'm talking with someone who is very strong and opinionated, I'm more likely to find something to disagree about just to counter their force! Haha. But it does bother me when I find myself talking about something I don't really agree with just to please the other person. I will work on not doing this anymore. :)

It is sooo much more fun to talk to someone with an opinion. It is like talking to a wall when two people don't both have opinions.

My friends that have strong opinions meet a lot of opposition but they are also the ones that people are most drawn to.

If your opinion comes from awareness/consciousness/the god in you, it will not change...even if the details of it do. Stability isn't about belief or rigidity.

SourceI believe the concept of open relationships is against human nature. If you continue your sexual relationship for a longer time, you will develop feelings and that is the point where jealousy can happen, too! If you love someone, if you feel for someone and this person sleeps with someone else, it is natural that you get jealous!
SourceMaybe this time, which we are experiencing now, will later be called ‘Digital Bhakti Kal’, a time of devotion through digital media.

It will be expensive but those who have the money can get online enlightenment from one second to the other simply via credit card.
SourceInner changes need time, even in a fast food culture.
SourceMany people think of God as a very distant, unreachable power. For them God is not close and their prayers are very formal. A prayer is something special and can be in many forms, not only certain words. But you need closeness, your heart should be in your prayer.
SourceYour body is not the reason for a man's cheating. If he loved you before, why should this change only because your looks changed?
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he is not sitting in silver-walled temples wearing gold jewelry, eating 56 different types of food, but instead comes here and sees how to earn his bread with hard work.
SourceThere are some things that are stable through all changes of life and your love is one of them.
SourceLiberation or heaven? Hindu religion confuses people with its karma-philosophy!
SourceSpirituality may be different for everyone but if you have a meaningful life, no matter whatever this is for you, you live in spirituality. If you feel that you fulfill your purpose of life, you are happy and that is true spirituality.
SourceGyan Yogis say that there is no duality. Everything is one and everyone is the same because god is in everybody. So if God is in you, in me and in everyone around, against whom do you want to direct your aggression? Anger can only exist in duality. When everything is God, then everything is the same, everyone is love.
SourceYou have everything that you need now! You have every reason to be happy! Be happy and love your life!
SourceHousewives - you are not worth less! Babies need their Mothers!
SourceWhen you expect your daughter- or son-in-law to be the same like you, you don’t even give the possibility and freedom to this fresh couple to develop that healthy relationship coming out of two different cultures.
SourceEgo is the main reason for separation.
