Thanksgiving has just concluded and while it is not something we
formally celebrate in Australia, my twin brother and his family live in
the USA so I have become more and more familiar with the concept over
time.
If you are concerned about having a career that is unfulfilled or that
the skills that you have will never be fully leveraged for success
(amongst a whole list of concerns and worries about your future), then
according to research from the University of California by Dr Robert Emmons, practicing being grateful for what you already have can both increase your happiness and increase your success.
Yes, that is correct. Being thankful for what you have increases your
happiness and increases your success, which means that you increase your
capacity to have more of what you want in your life.
Too often we focus only on what we want. This can increase our
dissatisfaction with our present that reduces our happiness in the
present.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama says that too many people spend too much of
their time wanting what they don't have which causes unimaginable
suffering. Think about it. You buy a new car. For a short period of time
you are feeling satisfied and grateful for your new car. Then you see
someone else with the same model car as yourself, but it has some extra
options that you don't have on your car. "I wish I had those options."
you think to yourself. Suddenly your new car isn't quite as good as your
thought. So you start to suffer again.
Suffering obviously reduces happiness.
In this context is wanting what you don't have bad for you? I don't believe so. After all I facilitate the OTM Plan for Personal Success® Program
which is all about identifying what you want and what you are going to
do to create that future. But the program isn't just about that.
It is also about recognising what you currently have in your life for which you are grateful and identifying what you need to do to keep what you are grateful for present in your life.
As an example I am now in my 17th year of marriage with my beautiful
wife Michelle. I really do love her more than the day we married. I am
extremely grateful to have her as my life partner and the mother of our
five children. I practice making sure that I never forgot that I
am grateful for who she is and what she does. I do this because I want
Michelle to be in my life both now and in the future.
Many people forget this fact. There are many elements of our lives that
have contributed to our current success that will also need to be
present in our future if we want to continue our success and happiness.
This means that you must plan to take conscious actions to keep the very
things that make you happy now continually present in your life.
One way to do that is to create a Grateful List. Simply create a list of
the things for which you are truly grateful, place that list where you
can see it everyday and then look at it every day. Once every 90 days
update your list.
This simple, yet effective strategy can raise your consciousness of what
makes you happy in the present, while also contributing to your future
success and happiness.

ReplyDeleteMy brain is buzzing with Juggernox beliefs. The circumstance seemed type of slick to me. There are many different mechanisms to Juggernox although you know, "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it must be a duck." Despite everything, the Juggernox market has decreased a bit recently.
It will pay dividends. It's a catch 22. >>>http://www.kingsizemaleenhancements.com/juggernox/

The most unique way to celebrate Friendship Day would be hold a gathering for your favorate images,quotes,hd wallpapers,messages,pics,photos and many more... Be that as it may, this thought needs a touch of arranging and exertion as you have to choose where to post(facebook,whatssapp,twitter,instagrame etc..) Once that is done, ring your pals and simply have your indulgence !

ReplyDeleteEvery PPC strategist said three years ago, “This year is the year of mobiles.” But it is no longer “the year of mobile,” it is the “era of mobiles.” The ever-expanding and one of the most significant segments of paid SEM traffic is mobile traffic. So now it’s the time to take a new, pragmatic and actionable look at your mobile PPC strategy for expeditious wins and delayed capital upgrade projects.
