I have been making videos out of my daily reflections. Hope you enjoy them.

Would you like to see more of them? If you would please let me know in the comments section.

What do you love the most about your life?

I love writing a gratitude list. I love making a list of the things, large and small about my life and being grateful for all of them.

That wasn’t always the case. I used to think in terms of what I wanted. If I just had this then I would be happy. In hindsight, I realize that I always moved the goal post just before I got there. Since my happiness was external it was fleeting.  Once I redefined my sense of happiness I began to realize that happiness was always only a thought away.

Today what I love most about my life is my ability to change my thinking so I can be happy no matter what is going on.

How do you define your happiness?

Is your happiness dependent on external things?

Would you be happier if:

You had  relationship?
More money?
A job you loved?
More time?
A larger home?
More friends?
Were thinner or taller or younger or older?
Healthier?

If you answered yes to any of those questions you are limiting yourself and curtailing your happiness. Happiness is an inside job. It is totally dependent on what you are telling yourself and independent of the events in your life or the world around you.

Are you willing to be happy no matter what?

When I ask that  most people respond, “Of course.” But are you willing to change your beliefs,agreements, assumptions and attitude?Are you willing to see all happiness or lack of happiness as a result of your filter system?

We never see life directly, we are always seeing our filter system. Are you willing to let of that old limiting version of reality? Are you ready to see life through the eyes of love?

Only the love is real everything else is an illusion.

What do you choose on a daily basis?

Sometimes it feels like life dictates how we feel or the news or events around us control our emotions but ultimately it is our choice how we feel.

So what if you practiced allowing yourself to feel:

Vulnerable – and know you are safe

Open to love – and know it is always available

Touched to the core of your being – by the magic of life

Loved – really deeply loved by yourself and the universe

Loving – to all beings

Soft – with no need to protect yourself

Easy – knowing effortless is not far behind

How do you decide whether
you will have a good day,
a great day
or an awful day?

At times it sure feels like life just happens and that we have little or no control over it or at least that is the story we tell ourselves. The more often we tell ourselves that we have no control the more thoroughly we believe it. But beliefs have very little to do with reality and everything to do with our filter system.

Are you a victim or the creator?

That can be a very dicey question, especially if you are facing a serous challenge in your life. If you have read any of my writing you will have heard this before: Everything is in our life by invitation or not in our life because we haven’t invited it yet.

Happiness really is only a thought away. I know you’ve heard that before. Bust just hang in here with me for a bit. I promise it will be worth your time.

A few steps that will make a HUGE difference

I am not talking about positive thinking I am talking about training your mind to see, hear and feel differently about life. Once you do that your life can become amazing! The Toltec Tradition talks about three masteries: awareness, transformation and intent. Fully harness them and anything is possible.

1. Expand your awareness

All of our emotions are created by what we tell ourselves about what is happening. We never see life directly, what we see is our projection of what we believe is happening. The first step is to allow yourself to be aware of that fact and practice consciously choosing to expand your awareness of your inner dialog. More…
