Season 2, Ep. 10: In my own personal morning meditation recently, God showed me how when I deliberately enjoy a particular area of my life, it thrives - but when I allow an area of my life to consistently aggravate me to the point where I do not enjoy it, it is not successful at all. Many people credit gratitude as being the secret key to creating the life of your dreams, but I think it's a little more than that. Enjoying your life in one area or another on purpose is possible, even in a difficult situation. It is that energy you infuse into that area of your life that literally GIVES it LIFE, causes it to thrive, and returns more and more enjoyment to you. This energy of enjoying is what you need in every area of your life. "Enjoyment" is "active gratitude."
.
Do a quick exercise and write down the key areas of your life that you are successful in on the left side of a page and draw a line, and on the other side, write the areas that you need more success in, or are not doing well at. Flip the paper over, and then write the areas down that you enjoy on the left side, and those areas that you do not enjoy on the right. You're sure to see a strong correlation between the two.
.
This is truly an "aha" moment, because it shows you that in order for you to CREATE the success you NEED or WANT in an area of your life, all you need to do is find a way to start enjoying it!
.
Beautiful, how can you create enjoyment and have the success you want today? You have the power to create the life you want--and enjoy it!
