5 Secrets To A Great Life
A new vineyard doesn’t produce enough quality grapes to harvest for several years. Like the vineyard, we start young and grow into healthy and productive people. Along the way, we learn habits and develop thinking patterns that hold us back from becoming truly, healthy, happy people with great lives.
Fortunately, the vineyard grower has learned secrets to growing healthy grapes. The same is true for us. There are secrets to getting what we want and using our God given talents and living a Great Life.
1) Forgive yourself. We’ve all done things in the past that weren’t right and are holding us back from being happy. Those things are in the past, now it’s time to leave them behind and be your own best friend. Be nice yourself.
2) Talk nicely to yourself. We all talk to ourselves constantly without even thinking about what we’re saying. Now is the time to monitor your thoughts and self talk and make sure we’re saying things that help and support ourselves instead of being mean to ourselves.
3) Be Healthy. The vineyard grower nurtures his vines making sure they get all the water, nutrients and care they need to become healthy. We have to do the same thing with our mind, body and spirit. When we eat well, exercise, read good books, study and take care of ourselves we are happier and healthier.
4) Love. If we want others to love us, we must first love ourselves, then love those around us, and mankind. We all have conflicts and don’t feel loved. Today’s society is filled with angry people. It helps when we send “good vibes” and love out to everyone around us, those in our family, those we work with, and even the clerk in the store and the stranger walking down the street. A example of how to do this is called Ho-opono-pono. Here’s a link to an overview http://www.hooponoponohelp.com/.
5) Focus. Focus you mind on what you want, not on what you don’t want. When we have a problem we tend to focus on it and that only creates more of it. Our thoughts create our reality. Meaning, if we focus on how mad our spouse or boss is, you will get more of that. If we focus on not having enough money, that’s what we’ll get. Turn your thoughts around. Focus your thoughts on and visualize and feel, what it would be like for your boss to be nice or to have plenty of money to pay all your expenses and see what happens. Your mind is more powerful than any computer in the world and it controls our lives. Put it to good use and think about having what you want rather than what you don’t have. It works, whether on relationships, opportunities or anything else.
Count Your Blessing, Here’s a bonus secret. It’s probably the most important one. Stop and count the blessings you have now and say thank you for them. All of us, no matter where we are have something to be thankful for. When you appreciate and honor what you have other great things will come to you.
You’re a powerful person. Enjoy your Great Life.
