Acceptance, enjoyment, enthusiasm. You need to make sure that one of them operates whenever you are engaged in doing anything at all from the most simple task to the most complex.  If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.

Acceptance means you are at peace while you do it. Enjoyment will replace wanting as the motivating power behind people’s actions. Enthusiasm means there is a deeper enjoyment in what you do plus the added element of a goal or vision that you work toward. When you add a goal to the enjoyment of what you do, the energy-field changes. A certain degree of what we might call structural tension is now added to enjoyment, and so it turns into enthusiasm. At the height of creative activity fueled by enthusiasm, there will be enormous intensity and energy behind what you do. You will feel like an arrow that is moving toward the target- and enjoying the journey.

To an onlooker, it may appear that you are under stress, but the intensity of enthusiasm has nothing to do with stress. When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed. Stress always diminishes both the quality and effectiveness of what you do under its influence. 

Unlike stress, enthusiasm has a high energy frequency. This is why Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, “NOTHING GREAT HAS EVER BEEN ACHIEVED WITHOUT ENTHUSIASM”.…… love that phrase it’s so true. With enthusiasm you will find that you don’t have to do it all by yourself. In fact, THERE IS NOTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE THAT YOU CAN DO BY YOURSELF. Sustained enthusiasm brings into existence a wave of creative energy, and all you have to do then is “ride the wave.”

All change happens with a choice, for a real change you have to go from “I should” to “I must”, its not easy, but in order to have a real change in your life its a must. I heard Tony Robbins say: We are defined by the stories we tell ourselves. We have to allow our story to evolve, think of Steve Jobs he was abandon by his real parents he felt “not loved” but his adoptive parents made him feel “chosen”, so he felt loved, he evolve from his story. Both stories are true, he was abandon and he was chosen, its up to us to make our story to EVOLVE. The only thing from keeping us from getting what we want is the story we keep telling ourselves why it can’t happen. 

DON’T RUN EAST LOOKING FOR THE SUN!

Life is not about getting what we want, its about becoming more. Success without fulfillment is failure, its not what you get… its what you BECOME.

What is really going to make you happy? maybe being successful, but it depends on how you define success. The real thing EVERYONE is looking is MEANING. Success without meaning makes people miserable.

Compare life with seasons. Everyone, I mean everyone, rich, poor, black,white, experience extreme stress at one point. What are you going to do with that stress? just look at it as a season… winter does not last forever. No problem is permanent. People experience dramatic stress and some post dramatic growth. Some people remain stress all their lives and some use stress and not let stress use them. Find a way to grow out of it and you will realize how much stronger you are.

It is important to know that its not meant to change, its a season we are suppose to go through it, it’s the same with life………….

Love,

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally: Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.”

Forgiving is all about you. Deciding whether to hold anger or release it occurs in your mind. Forgiveness is not condoning the actions of the other party. It is not rolling over and giving up. It is not giving in or losing anything. Forgiveness frees YOU from resentment prison.
