“Happiness is not something “just around the corner” or “over the hill” or something that can be enjoyed as soon as you have a certain level of material comfort. It’s a moment-to-moment choice. Joy and contentment come from daily, hourly, minutely, secondly decisions to be grateful for what you have. With every breath. Savoring every moment. Focusing on the good. On service to others. On the sacred, whatever that word means to you. Happy?”
“To be truly human, we have to live at the intersection of our head (skills), our heart (passions) and hands (service). It’s a beautiful reminder that you’ll find your zone of genius when you connect to what you’re passionate about, identify the needs associated with it, and bring your skills to meet the task in the best way possible.”
Be positive!
LOVE ALL OF IT! Throughout your life, you will have struggles and successes… Love all of them! 🙂

No matter what “station” you are currently at in life, you are a leader. You lead yourself in your life whether consciously or subconsciously; and if you are not doing so with intent and purpose toward a brighter future, you may not like where you ultimately lead yourself to.
Make a conscious effort today (and everyday) to decide where you want to go, and then get busy leading thyself.

Joy is right brained, happiness is left brained.
Joy feeds happiness.
Creativity is right brained too…
Point: Attach joy to the creating/growth/improving, joy is the process.
Happiness is the logic/results.
Nothing wrong with being happy when we accomplish something. But when we can focus on the joy of the process, we will create a lasting positive impact and longer lasting happiness (because the process never ends and if we are joyful in it, we won’t run low on our “supply”)
Be joyful today!!
At a construction site in the Midwest, all the workers would sit down together for lunch. Every day Brian would open his lunch pail and complain. “Son if a gun, not pb&j again! I hate peanut butter and jelly!”
He whines about his peanut butter and jelly everyday until finally one day another worker said “for cripes sakes Brian, if you hate pb&j have your wife make you something different!”
Brian said “what do you mean, wife? I’m not married. I make my own sanwhiches.”
Our lives are created by us :-). Complaints usually hold no merit. Get busy forging the life we want and forget about bitching about “sandwiches”
-Adapted from the book “The Way of the Peaceful Warrior”
Last night at our regional meeting (a group of Chiropractors and Chiropractic Assistants get together to discuss/present how we can better serve our patients) a recurring theme was “decisions.”
Dr. Orlando (a good friend and doctor) stated “We have a “fight” between who we were that got us to where we are, and who we want to be who will get us to where we want to go. It’s about who we choose to follow.”
Then I received this from The Notes From The Universe email (you should definitely check it out if you haven’t subscribed): “Everyone, Joel, lives the life of their choosing. Not just what they chose, but what they are choosing.”
Then I read this before bed in my Miracle Morning book “…all that matters is that you and I are committed to leaving the past in the past and making our lives exactly the way we want them to be, starting today.”
Sense a theme?
Our life is a conglomerate of decisions. Small ones. Big ones. Gargantuan ones. Our future is determined by how we decide, which road we take, and who we want to be in this very moment.
Be choosy my friends 😉
