Look around your world—are you enjoying it?

We all have a great capacity to enjoy life but unfortunately too many of us do the exact opposite.  We are feeling down trodden, remorseful and feeling lack.  Come on people this is the time of your life to change all of that.  Shift gears and begin to think positive.

o     You can achieve your heart’s desires if you change your perspective

o     You can reach your full potential if and when you are ready to believe in yourself and take right action

o     You can receive an increase in your income if you say continually that you are worth it and that you are seeking those who see and believe in your value as you equally match their energy

o     You can begin to express gratitude for all the blessings that you have received in your life so far and know that more are coming to you.

Boy,girls—men and women—this is your moment in time to rise up and start changing the way you have perceived who you are and start to become whom you

believe you deserve to be.

I realize that some of you might shrug your shoulders and say—forget it—it is impossible to enjoy my life because it is too complicated or too fast paced and I have all I can do to keep up.  But I am here to tell you my dear friends that you are wrong.

Life is what you make it!  Believe it or not, it is as simple as that!

There is actually beauty in the simple, ordinary pleasures of life.  You heard me right.  I have used this word often in my posts so maybe just about now it has sunk into your subconscious.  ‘Perception’ is everything.  Even in the most mundane experiences of life we can find something beautiful, moving and inspirational if we simply open up our heart and mind and allow our senses to feel and breathe in something that up to now we haven’t noticed. 

For example, if you live or work in a large city, have you ever noticed the intricacy of some of the architectural designs—especially in older buildings and imagined the creativity that went into it; when you are walking do you hear the chirping of the birds and the soft sounds of nature as you cut through the parks?  Have you ever watched two friends sharing a laugh or an intimate moment or have you noticed those who are walking in the opposite direction than you and wondered if they are happy or sad or why they are in such a hurry?  The energy and electricity of the world around us is ever buzzing and if you are in tune with its vibration, you will discover new and wondrous things.

When you come home in the evening, can you leave your worries behind and share in a meaningful conversation with your partner or children?  All of these thoughts are shared to give you reflection in the hopes that you will allow your feelings and senses to awaken to the present moment in time and look deeper into the intricacies of life.  We all have the power within us to stimulate our brain with healthy and meaningful observations.  Maybe it is time to surround yourself with interesting people, places and things?  It is proven that when we are open to learn new things, we are better equipped to bolster our self-confidence and our self-esteem.
