What’s it worth to you?

Happiness is a measurable result that consists of one part attention, one part, perseverance and one part action and one part choice and not necessarily in that order. wmf

A Well Known Fact:

Happiness will kill a depression...

I’m booked on a commercial this morning and needed to rise at 5:45am...however I decided to spend a few minutes looking at my gal sleeping peacefully then hopped out of bed, into the shower, into my clothes, gathered my wardrobe, my laptop and headed down to the car. I drive out to the street and onto the expressway, the traffic is light and I arrive at the studio location with thirteen minutes to spare. To this point I have spoken only to my partner...a whispered “good morning, have a great day and your awesome!”

My mind is clear, quiet and calm and the song, “Joy to the world!” is somewhere in the back of my head. I remember the years when I would wake up, thinking...”Oh no...Not again!” then pull the covers over my head again. Or I’d get to the bathroom mirror and look at my face and think...”You again?” I use to hate getting up in the mornings...I use to resist life and avoid the effects of my causes and about thirty years ago...I began to reconstruct my mind.

If you want to take an amazing trip, a change from a negative self view to a positive self view is an awesome journey. A step onto that path and you will never want to look back again...just like when we feel really good about something we want to stick with the good feeling. As you learn to consistently retrain your mind to think in ways that generate positive emotions, ideas and actions, which can support what it is that we want to be and do, even difficulties start to have a new feeling to them as opportunities. If you are currently burdened with bills, drug and alcohol troubles, relationship challenges, not doing what you really want to do...then this journey may be the ticket you want to buy. Ultimately it is a journey into being and doing love as a daily experience and expression...which brings us to today’s lesson on how to be happy in fifteen minutes or less.

During the day, check in with yourself every fifteen minutes and for one minute just observe what the thoughts are in your mind and the actions through your body that are occurring. And ask yourself this question; “Do these thoughts and actions improve my life at this moment? If your answer is yes, carry on and have a blast! If the thoughts are not supportive of what you want then what would be a good, positive substitute for them. Once you’ve done this...

Have a great day!

William
