Whatever you focus on grows. When you feel good, you attract more things that feel good.
If you look at your life and don't feel good, even if you desperately want and need a change or something better, you'll get more of what doesn't feel good.
So you don't blow to smithereens your ability to feel good, let's start where the land mines are buried.
If good feeling mojo was your lover, would these inspire your sweetheart to run to you with gifts of money, love and health or get blasted back to an undesirable past?
Fussing up because people are idiots, things are complicated and your career or business deals aren't working... again.
Wanting more money but complaining that it's hard to get because the system is stacked against you.
Can't figure out why, because of what's happened, God has broken His promise to you .
Feeling worried until you get the next doctor's report.
Thinking repeatedly about how someone has done you wrong.
Looking for satisfaction while blaming, disapproving or getting upset over things.
Money, love and health aren't found on the pity pot vibe. (Oh, and I unsuccessfully used to try so hard to be saved from the object of my whining.)
Misery loves company.
Regardless of what you say you want, if you're feeling and therefore sending silent messages of struggle, suffering and sadness, your energy will bring you more of the same... more of what you feel but don't want.
If your business or life mirror a Looney Tunes episode, don't look for the bogey man who's out to get you. Instead, start with good feeling mojo every day.
You can change how you feel by changing your perspective.
"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."
Oprah Winfrey
Once, when my life had fallen apart, I couldn't feel grateful about anything.
Years ago, I was in the midst of a marital separation. Depressed. Money and health were in the deficit column. Little energy and motivation. And definitely in no mood to focus on business.
Gratitude. Interesting concept. The end.
However, I heard a story about someone who went through hard times. Step at a time, being grateful was her magic key. She climbed out of the hole she was in, got a great job, new friends and turned her life completely around.
Hmmm, okay. I decided to give it a try but with no clue of where to begin.
Suddenly, lost in thought about "woe is me" while walking through a greenbelt next to my house at dusk, I snapped out of my trance.
Stories from the news popped in my head about snipers on roof tops in a war-torn country. They killed people who had to run across an open space to get water.
Then it occurred to me that I had zero concern about my physical safety. I had basic needs. Water. No bullets or bombs threatened me. Roof over my head. AC when it's hot, and heat when it's cold. I was alive. There was so much to appreciate, however I didn't see it because I was looking in the wrong direction.
I woke up to gratitude and the blessings of how people were there for me. Even though so much wasn't working, a lot was. So I redirected my focus to where I could find gratitude. I began to feel better. As I did, my life got better, too.
"When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around."
Willie Nelson
If you're looking for an abundance of business, money, love, support or health,focusing on what's working will bring you more of what's working.
"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance."
Eckhart Tolle
Gratitude Creates Good Feeling Mojo
Especially during this time of giving thanks, right now, take a moment to reflect on what you're grateful for.
The more you're grateful, the more good feeling mojo you create.
The more good feeling mojo you have, the more success and happiness you experience.
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
Buddha
On a personal note of thanks, I'm grateful to you for reading my blogs.
Happy Thanksgiving now and throughout the year!
