Daily Gratitude: It never ceases to amaze me how some of the more complex ideas are actually pretty simple. This is another example of that. And Wayne Dyer is so good at helping us understand. When we talked about change we addressed this too. If we look at something as a good thing instead of “why not keep doing things the way we used to?”, it makes you excited to see what’s going to happen next. There is a preschool and also older grades where I used to walk every day. They had a nice big grassy area where the kids could play. Then a few months ago, they closed off that grassy area and started some sort of new building. Initially I was disappointed wondering why they were doing this and why they couldn’t leave things the way they were. Then I caught myself and I found myself wondering what they were building and would it replace what they already have or just add to it. I became excited to walk by and see how it was progressing. I had to make the effort to see things differently but it was worth it. The excitement I created for myself far outweighed the grouchy mood I was in when I wanted it to stay the same. Like they were going to listen to me anyway. Take some inventory in your life and see if there’s at least one area you can try this out in. I think you’ll be as happy as I was.
