Keeping a clean and proper perspective

How can we make sure we are seeing straight? It is a constant effort not to let ourselves get caught up in our emotional reactions that hijack the more objective, true reality. We are naturally self-absorbed as the brain attempts to maintain order in our lives and to keep us out of hot water. We have to force ourselves to think of others and to constantly ask ourselves if we are staying balanced and “clean” in our read on life’s goings-ons — to get outside of ourselves and the internal dramas we produce.

I know for myself I can get caught up in disappointment or fear or hurt feelings so easily and then lose my ability to feel the joy and abundance that I am blessed by in my life. It is so easy to be pulled out of the peace that I would have otherwise if I did not create chaos with my own doubts and self-imposed unrealistic expectations and borrowed trouble from tomorrow, let alone lose the focus on others and their needs.

Let’s all stay intentional to think and speak of all that is and keep doing the next right thing trusting that our gratitude and the faith in the process designed from truth will lead to our most optimal lives. We can relax and trust that life is good — even when it is hard — and that through it all we are becoming more than we were…more sensitive, more grateful, more reslient and more humble.

I celebrate my health, my lovely family, my meaningful work and clients who value my participation in their lives, my dear friends with whom I share life, my beautiful home, our country and opportunities that it brings us, the green and colorful nature that surrounds us, music, books, faith, and ideas that lead to new possibilities.

I will do the next right thing now — work on my book, then get some rest, then start the day with my work out, and then bring my best to my clients tomorrow — hoping to inspire and encourage new breakthroughs in their lives.
