Do you mean it? A Happy
New Year, 2015? It’s not a wish. It’s a matter of intent.
One simple declaration will make all the difference. Attach the declaration to the beginning of
every thought and you’ll be astonished.
Okay, ready?
“It is fun to ________________________________.”
Simple.
Uncomplicated. Heck, it’ll even
make pleasant those New Year’s
Resolutions:
“It is fun to plan to lose weight.” It’s not necessary to “wait” until the
weight is lost to have fun.
“It is fun to choose what I eat.” If a healthier diet is in the plan, then
have fun with it now.
“It is fun to de-clutter the house/office.” Think about how much better it is without
the mess rather than fixating on the mess.
“It is fun to have the car serviced.” It’s fun to be able to drive where I want to
go.
“It is fun to pay more attention to_____.” Fill in the blank.
“It is fun to be around healthy, happy people.” Duh.
“It is fun to pay the bills.” For each bill you received some service or
product. Enjoy that!
2015 - The Year of Perspective |
You get the idea. The
more you do it, the easier it becomes.
In fact, if you really intend to have a fun 2015, and you begin using
this declaration January 1, by the beginning of March you’ll think like this habitually. You won’t pay much attention to that fact
because you’ll be having such a good time.
Of course, if you don’t really believe that you
could/should/ought to have a continuous good time, then you won’t. It’s the intention that rules, a.k.a. expectation. If you look for the fun in anything, you’ll
find it. If you look for something else,
you’ll find that. What is consistent is
that you will find and experience what you expect, what you look for, and what
you give your attention to.
How much delight can you have in 2015? All you want.
Now there will be those who will not approve of your delight.
They are looking at the misery, injustice, pain, suffering and lack in
life. Unless you are devoting your
time and energy looking for the same, then you're not helping the less
fortunate. Those who get what you are
doing, get it. Those who don’t, can’t. Denying any good thing/experience for
yourself does not magically provide a good thing/experience for someone
else. People experience what they expect
and experience cannot change until attention and expectation shift. The best way to truly "help"
someone live happier, healthier, etc., is to be so yourself. At some point they may begin to "get
it" from proximity to your attitude.
Happy New Year! (If
you want it.)
