‘The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself.’
–David Goggins, Former US Navy SEAL, NY Times Bestselling Author, Former Guinness World Record Holder, Endurance Athlete
Life is good.
But if you’re like me, this is not what you have been thinking, or saying to yourself.
In fact, I’ve been saying the opposite for years now.
Not so much aloud or to others, but more quietly, to myself.
Since thoughts create reality, and we get more of what we focus on, this isn’t a smart thing to do.
It’s true that we all have challenges.
But if we stopped to count our blessings, most of us would come away thinking we are the lucky ones, and that most of lives are good.
Chances are, at any given moment, we’re probably focussing on something relatively small–something that probably won’t matter in a few weeks or months. And we’re using that as our excuse to feel frustrated or sorry for ourselves.
Plus, we’re probably putting a lot of energy into it. This makes it more likely we’ll create more of the same, if not worse!
And the crazy thing is, I’ve know about this for so long. Yet I chose to repeat my mistakes on a daily basis (and perpetuate my suffering).
Why? Habit, probably.
Not anymore. It’s time for new and better habits.
So I’m changing from today. I’m going to tell myself as often as I can, that life is good.
I’m pretty sure that when I do this, I’ll see more and more evidence that it’s true.
And I’ll see more and more reasons to keep acknowledging and affirming this to myself.
I’m ready for some magic!
So come say it with me now:
Life Is Good!
