“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.”  ~ Brian Tracy

Good Morning!  

Mastering the art of change is essential to life happiness.  Most of life’s pains come from trying to “hold on” or “freeze” some specific moment in time.  I have seen many women attempt to re-create moments that have passed.

“If I could just get back to 130 pounds.”

“I know it would be better if we could find the spark we had at the beginning of our relationship.”

“I was happier when I used to _______________ (fill in the blank).  If I could just do that again….”

We must remember that life is fluid.  Thus, a component to our happiness is learning how to be fluid with life.  Within our attitude, within our own mind, and within our own heart, we hold the key to living a full life.  It is not what we have, how much we accomplish, or any other measurable component.  The key to living a full life is dependent on how we view the world; this choice of view lies solely within each of us.  Are you using a rearview mirror to look at your life?

Your Turn:  How have you been looking at the world?  Given that it only takes a moment to decide to look at the world differently, could you benefit from any viewpoint adjustments?

Today’s Affirmation:  I accept change.  I dance with life.
