Feats of YES!

A Well Known Fact: The power to control gravity is in your hands.

Growing up is about learning how to be and do in the world in a way that satisfies all our needs while also being respectful of the reasonable needs of others. As we grow and change, make new decisions and experience the effects that those decisions can have upon our lives we either grow in knowledge, wisdom and personal power or we pull back in fear of the changes that our decisions may set in motion.

When you make a decision and take action to improve your life from what it is into what it is you want, change is going to occur, you are going to experience change; this is as inevitability as gravity on Earth and something you must learn to live with if you want to experience what you want to. Some of the changes you initiate might appear to be scary, but ultimately if your goal is to improve your life...then this is what will happen as long as your thoughts feelings and action stay congruent to the goal. You are free however to choose to remain where you are doing what it is you do and being as you are being...STOP COMPLAINING ITS WHAT YOU’VE CHOSEN...BE HAPPY! If you want change then continue reading...this Blog this is for you.

There are five feats of YES!” The first Feats of YES! Is to decide what it is you want...whether you want a new job, a new partner, a new vacation or a new set of clothes,...this is the first feat of yes...choosing what you want. Once you make a choice about what you want, you can move on to the second Feats of yes, which is how do I get what I want. You start looking for it. The third Feats of yes is trying it out for size...new job, new partner...whatever it is you want, try it out and see if the experience matches what you want it to be. The fourth Feats of yes is dealing with others’ responses to what you want. Chances are that the people that love you will encourage you and support you in having what you want, because people that love you and know how to love want you to be happy. People that discourage you from what you want are to be avoided...do not try convincing other people that it is okay for you to have what you want...people who discourage you can never live in your shoes, they will not be able to experience your life for you and those people usually head for the hills when something goes awry, leaving you alone...people who love you will always try to help.

The fifth and Feat of YES! Is KEEP GOING AND STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR GOAL NO MATTER WHAT. This last element is the hardest because when you make a change from where you are to where you want to go many other elements in your life; your thoughts, your feeling, your actions must and will change. Also, when you make a change the people closest to you, will naturally have to change and they may be afraid of and not understand the meaning and value of the change that you’ve set in motion. Try explaining what you are doing and why to the people involved...if they cannot or will not understand...do not try to force them...just carry on towards your goal...if your goal or objective is to be happy...they will see it in time...keep inviting them to participate...but do not force them...just keep going and continue being happy and enjoying the journey knowing you are on the way to your goal(s).

This brings us to today’s activity on How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less, and will take one to three minutes each hour for the next five to eight hours. Breathe deeply and release all tension from your body, then write down one thing down that if it had already occurred, would make your life more like you’d like it to be and spend the one to three minutes each hour imagining how your life is, right now, with this change. Feel and imagine everything that you can...what you do...where you go...how you look...who you see, how you live, how you feel, what you think and the kinds of people you are surrounded by and...

Have a great day!
