IT’S A CHOICE WE MAKE
It’s almost December…The year has gone by. What have I accomplished? Do I like where I am in my life? Could it be better? Of course it good and I feel pretty good about what is going on in my life.
I am grateful that I am happy and healthy. I am grateful that I know how to enjoy myself which is different than having fun. Having fun is more of a doing, whereas enjoying ourselves is more of a being.
What I mean is that enjoying life is an attitude. It doesn’t depend on what we are doing or what is going on in our life.
It’s a choice we make.
I ask most of my coaching clients to finish this sentence.. Life is….how you finish this sentence will determine how you relate to your life. If you finish it my saying that life is a struggle, I am sure that life will be a struggle.
And if you finish it by saying that life is exciting, I am sure you will be living an exciting life. The words you choose determine your state of mind. If you want to feel more upbeat, then think of your life as that. Life is fun and exciting. You might not notice an immediate shift, but I bet if you continue to answer this question over a period of time, your quality of life will be different. What do you have to lose?
