A Little Bit of Work

A little bit of change can make a big difference.  A little bit of work can create lasting results.

As long as the change and work is helping us go in the right direction, we can feel confident our long-term outcome will be better than our current situation.

Transforming Energy

Since all energy is existing energy that is transformed from one state to another – take your strongest emotions, your strongest feelings, and direct them to where you want them.

  • Take your anger and turn it into compassion.
  • Take your sadness and turn it into empathy.
  • Take your pain and turn it into joy.

Take your negative energy and turn it positive – you choose where and how you redirect it.

Joy Brings Happiness

Joy is a feeling. A feeling of happiness/pleasure that comes from accomplishment or success. Happiness does not cause joy. Responsibility, passion, accountability, creation, and doing are what causes joy and that produces happiness. As we are taught and told, the creator wants us to “have joy”.

(Feelings are choices while emotions are not. )

Your Dominant Feeling

Ways to feel worse about yourself:

  1. Focus on “what-if”
  2. Wait for something better
  3. Compare (yourself, your things)

Doing these things eliminates gratitude. They allow negative emotions to evolve into dangerous feelings.

Yet, practicing active gratitude always makes you feel better. Gratitude turns the focus outward and enables peace and contentment to become your dominant feelings.

Practice gratitude – daily:

  1. Write down what you are thankful for
  2. Tell someone why you are thankful for them
  3. Do something now to help move you toward your goals
