Focusing on the good things...

There are many days to our lives if we are lucky, and if we are even luckier we find our days filled with only the good things. We get to follow our dreams and do the things we want to do, the things that make us happy.

What makes us happier still is knowing that this is a never ending cycle. We do what makes us happy and it feeds everything else and the cycle continues. I think if we expand the circle of our happiness to every other area of our lives it can have the same response.

I know for myself I am extremely lucky. I live a charmed life, one that I am grateful for each and every day. I get to fill my time how I choose with the things, people and events that I love. How could I not be happy? How can that not transfer to everything else? I also believe that having a positive happy mindset helps us move forward in our journey. It helps us past the blocks we may have experienced or perhaps even put in our own way to stumble over.

I have known people in my life, before I "weeded" my garden, that seemed to only enjoy the chaos and drama and if enough of it wasn't present, they created it themselves. Until I walked away from those "relationships" I didn't realize how my energies were zapped by these things. Not having that in my life has opened me up to the good things I want in my life and frees my mind and body to explore things are in front of me and not get stuck in the past.

I have the time to focus my energy on the things I want in my life and the things I want to bring into my life that I have not yet achieved and for myself, that is a better use of my time. I have big goals and dreams that I want to achieve for myself, yet I know that I am perfectly happy as I am. I will not chase the future at the expense of my present and I think that is a positive way to move forward. I don't want to miss a moment of life, waiting to experience it only when I reach my goals. It really is true that life is the journey, not just reaching the end point. I am so lucky and I am grateful for this gift each and every day and that is where I will focus my attentions and efforts.
