Good morningIf you take a moment and really think about
this statement, it provides a fresh perspective. What one person
perceives as a challenge or "down" might be perceived as an opportunity
or "up" by another person. That doesn't make one person right or the
other person wrong, but it demonstrates that we are each unique
individuals with unique values and goals. What makes me happy may be
quite different from what makes you happy. Each "up and down" provides
us "the window to determine our values and goals" and discover what we
desire in our life.
One approach I have found very helpful in
building the ideal life (and self-discovery in general) is the process
of elimination. It isn't always easy to uncover what would make us
happy. We might think we know, but often we get to that place and
discover what we thought we needed, isn't really the "key" to our
happiness.
Sometimes it is easier to observe what
doesn't make us happy. By keeping a list of what answers "don't work"
for us, we become like an inventor for our life. Each combination that
doesn't work, lead us closer to finding the combination that will.
Your Turn:
Instead of allowing your moods and energy to flow with "ups and downs," take a step back and observe each up and down as an opportunity to learn more about inventing the life you desire. Your Affirmation:
Each day is filled with opportunities to expand, refine and improve my life direction. And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!" And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter? | |||||||
