YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!!!

And it’s nagging at you--everyday. Did you realize that there really is no condition in your life that you cannot modify into something better? No, you haven’t missed the proverbial boat. The boats continue to dock right at your front door, (lack of navigable water, notwithstanding.) You only have to move your gaze in the direction of the boats, and away from your list of reasons why you think you cannot do this. How many boats you think you’ve missed already, makes no difference--none. All that matters is your current focus--right now. What are you talking about? How is it making you feel? Is it negative, complaining, fatalistic? Do you constantly joke that you could never get fit? That you were simply born this way?
 
Here's an interesting tidbit: Do you realize that by screaming “NO!” at something you don’t want in your life, you‘re actually putting tons of energy into it, thereby focusing on it? You must turn your attention to, and focus on the “new you” in order for it to happen. You already know that it’s the actions that you take everyday that determine your future. Well, by the same token, it’s the thoughts that you repeat everyday that determine your actions!

You will never get to your solutions by focusing only on the problem--even in a humorous way! Unless you stop beating the drum of what’s wrong, you will continue to stay immersed in “what’s wrong.” There will always be another disease, another problem, another “issue” another person pissing you off, so what? Focusing on them, or fighting against them, doesn’t make them go away. But turning your attention to the things you want and the things that are right in your life changes everything--including the way you feel--right now. And that, my friends, is KEY.

Now, I know many of you are thinking "Uh huh, right Vawny. That'll work..." and it’s because you’ve been beating this negative drum pretty regularly, for some time now, (thank you for making my point). Start by making peace with today, and you will automatically improve your future. Instead of pushing against where you are, or where you have been, get ok with it by realizing that a new boat just docked for you, in the steady stream of boats coming your way. You will suddenly have the energy to take a step in the direction of your focus--which will now be your desires! C’mon, just try it!

Wanna try a fun activity? Today, take the time to write the story of your desire, of how you’d really like your life to be, just for fun. No one has to see it, so don’t hold back--this is just for you. What would it say? Would you be fit, healthy, happy, rich? Whatever it is, use this fun activity to discover your heart’s desire. Continue to work this “attitude adjustment” daily, and watch what happens next…
