Why not take the shortcut to The Good Life and feel good now?
The only reason you want what you want is because you believe you will feel better once you have it. But you cannot get there from a dissatisfied now, postponement or as soon as mentality. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you are reaching for more. You must be willing to Get to Good now so you can shift your future.
Your life is right now, it is not someday, when you get that promotion, new car, married or lose 10lbs. Many of you are looking for yourself and the good life in all the wrong places. You are one more shopping spree, anti-depressant, big money deal, elective surgery, and love affair away from truly finding yourself and enjoying the good life. Pushing the pause button on life for the elusive dream, regret the past, worry about the future and distracted with the now…Oh! My Stars…one can see how this would leave you frustrated, powerless and disillusioned.
Go ahead and exhale…It matters not how you Get to Good so long as you do. A Mantra or Belief is a conditioned thought. You are the Fortune Teller of your life with your thoughts and feelings. Ponder this: You get whatever you think about whether you want it or not, what do you want? What have you been thinking lately? Does it serve you?
While it may be logical and real to stare at what is, it will only perpetuate more of the same. What is reality? Reality is that which occupies your mind and captivates your attention. It may be time for you to create a new reality. Science tells us the mind does not know the difference between real or imagined. Worry and stress are the misuse of your mind and talent. Use your imagination to serve you. Condition in the mantra: Attention only worthy of me!
If everyone you knew was off the hook of your happiness; what might you think, feel and do? Who might you become? Magnify your potential, not your problems. Permission Granted!
If you will begin to tell a better story about you and your life today there will be no coincidence of the favorable life experiences that show up in your life. Look for that which you want to see…and you will find it. You are more than your circumstance.
Practice the mantra Get to Good for appreciating now with anticipation of what is to come.
