Research has shown that positive psychology allows you and I to choose the mood we want on a daily basis. 

Some of us are susceptible to the moods of the moment, like the weather and/or other people’s opinions. 

Those who enjoy living in their deepest levels of personal satisfaction are the ones who choose their own moods. 

Just like exercising a muscle; this activity is also an exercise that must be cultivated over time. 

I invite you to choose what mood you want to generate today. 

If you could choose a mood; would you select compassion, forgiveness, joy or support? 

What if this mood was contagious to every one you meet? 

You have the power to generate, broadcast and feel any positive thing you choose. 

Today; let’s practice the exercise of choosing our mood. 

Notice your mood when you choose your own energy of happiness, personal fulfillment and the response of others around you. 

It’s your choice. 

Choose Wisely! 

Sometimes when we are asked to do the impossible; it is only a concept and not a reality. 

Who dictates what is possible in your world. 

What may seem impossible to someone else is just a challenge to you and only because you are willing to try. 

Once you put forth the effort; you find it’s even easier than you ever imagined. 

The challenge will always be your opportunity to level up and to take a great stride in your development. 

There is no growth without adversity and you dictate your reality. 

It’s Time To Level Up! 

We all have varying degrees of faith. 

You believe the milk you bought last night is good so it’s okay to pour it directly on your cereal. You don’t have to taste if it’s sour first. 

You just got paid through direct deposit so using your ATM card for gas should be okay. 

You don’t throw away your ticket and jump off the train right before it goes through the tunnel. You sit still and trust the engineer. 

Grow your level of faith incrementally with many credible scenarios. 

Then establish milestones that will propel you forward. 

Keep The Faith! 

Dealing with the voices in your head can be a confusing matter. 

When you include all you have to do on a looped track playing inside your head; it is difficult to discern the value from the voices. 

Rest assured; with practice and a little time, quieting your mind is crucial in extracting the good. 

I used to think it was just my spirit guide transmitting guidance to me. 

Then I realized the voice of the divine was also providing wisdom and used me as a broadcast medium. 

There was also the loved ones of days gone by that would reach out without really waiting their turn or identifying themselves. 

And last but not least; you know how you call someone or they call you and you both exclaim “I was just thinking about you”. This is a talent we all possess that requires very little cultivation. 

All of these examples we are able to enjoy by simply quieting our minds. 

There really is wisdom in the silence. 

Shhhh, Just Listen! 

Relationships are the essence of who we are and your very existence was the result of that. 

Your development in the womb forged a relationship with your Mother and once you emerged it continued to develop along with that of your father, grandparents and extended family. 

Infancy provided a relationship that was full of exploration; discovering your body’s movement, talking, crawling and walking. Life continued to engage you with new interactions and many new things to learn along the way. 

Going to school and eventually work exposed you to new relationships but what about the relationship of your mind and spirit? Are you constantly cultivating the relationship between your body, mind and spirit? How’s your relationship with your goals and money? 

All of these need nurturing too. 

Life is full of relationships that do not involve people. 

Any true interaction is a type of relationship and the success of it depends on you. 

The best relationships are able to survive the tumultuous times and last the longest. 

Take a look at your best relationships, review them based on how well they survive adversity and how each of you worked on resolving any issues. 

Encourage and nurture your relationships and see how much better they can be. 

Just remember; it’s not always what we experience but how we respond. 

It’s All Up To You!
