Looking Beyond the Imperfections
July 26—This Week's Quote:
“Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” – Unknown
Life is full of ups and downs, good and bad. Things in your life may not be exactly the way you want them to be. But it’s up to you whether you choose to bemoan the situation, complain and fuss, and be miserable.
There is another choice. You can choose to look beyond the imperfections, looking toward how you’d rather it be, and then take whatever action you can toward making things better.
This not only puts you in a much happier frame of mind, it helps create the changes a whole lot faster!
For instance, if I say to you, “Don’t think of a purple hippopotamus.” What do you immediately do? Think of a purple hippopotamus!
We can’t do a don’t. While you may want to stop being poor, single, unhealthy, or whatever your situation is, it’s not very useful to think about it in these ways – in other words, to think about what you don’t want.
It’s much more helpful to think and talk in terms of what you do want. “I want to be healthy, wealthy, and in a happy relationship.”
Then, once you’ve made that decision and stated this intention, then you must take action. Saying “I want” with no action to back it up is just a wish.
Follow your intuition, take action and trust the universe to satisfy your deepest needs, wants, and desires. Expect good things!
Because we’re human, and part of our job here is to develop and grow into our highest potential, I don’t know that there will ever be THE perfect life situation. But keeping an optimistic frame of mind while moving forward with an air of expectation will lead us to the happy, fulfilling life we all desire.
Blessings!
