Laugh out loud to liven your day and cheer up everyone in ear shot.

Smiles and laughter – catch both today and spread the cheer.

VPD Changes Your Life

When I work with individuals, one of the first exercises we do is the Values-Priorities-Direction. Until you know your value system creating your future remains a futile task.

You need to know more than just your values. For that reason I developed the VPD. Without exception, every person with whom I have done this exercise experienced a major ah ha!

Watch for more information on the VPD and how you can learn how to do it to make sense of your world and create the life with which you can truly align yourself.

Gratitude Involves Recognizing Value

When people express gratitude they honor the value they perceive and receive from some happening or person. The more value you perceive in the world, the more you feel you have to be thankful for. And the more things for which you give thanks, the more things you will receive and experience for which to be thankful.
What do I mean by recognizing value? Every day I thank the Universe for bringing certain people into my world. Yes, of course I constantly tell them I am grateful for their being who they are and brightening my world. And I am, in general, grateful for knowing them.
Every night before falling asleep I review all the thing and people for which I am grateful that day. And the same people, whether or not I see them that day, receive my gratitude because of what I learn by knowing them—and apply in my daily living because of knowing them.
What I learn from them allows my world to grow brighter and lighter every day. Those friends are priceless gifts to me. They serve as role models for me. I could not find and pay people to do what these people do for me—and were it not for my telling them that fact, they would not even know the impact they have on my life

You See What You Want To See

Albert Einstein was a brilliant metaphysician who posed this single question that determines how your life runs, “Is this a friendly Universe?” How do you answer that one?

However you answer that question defines your happiness level and satisfaction (or the lack thereof) in life. Since you will always see what you filter for (what you expect to see) then your answer is always right.

In other words, if you say, “Yes, this is a friendly Universe,” then your life reflects that love of life and people. If you replied, “No, this is not a friendly Universe,” then you see your world as narrow, not safe and definitely not a feel good place to be.

The person who sees the world as a friendly place lives in love and happiness and maybe even in joy. Such a person sees the good in every event and assigns meanings that leave him feeling good about himself and life.

Happiness Means No More Arguing part 3

Most men do not like to talk about what or how they feel. They will not tell you what is going on inside their heads—mostly because they don’t have an awareness of what feeling underlies their outbursts. You can determine what is going by listening—not taking your turn to fight—just listen.

You see, people see the parts of themselves in others that they do not want to recognize as part of them. When they pick apart another person they reveal how they feel about those behaviors in themselves. They do not like those behaviors so when they see them exhibited in others they pounce on them!

You will not be able to explain that information to them. Do not even try. They will not hear you. They can’t. They need to hide from themselves for whatever reason—that you may never know. They may never know either.

All you can do is be who you are and love yourself and all others. When someone gets in your face, remember their anger is really a call for help—only they do not know it. And they are not ready to accept help either. To them, that would mean taking responsibility for their lives and how everything goes for them.

The only road to living in happiness includes self-responsibility.
