What Do You See?
Are you ready to live fulfilled and content everyday?
When was the last time you reached the end of your day and found yourself absolutely pleased at the way it all turned out? Life seemed to work out for you on this day.
Go back there and remember. What happened that made it so rewarding, so connected and fulfilling? Did you extend your hand or heart to help another? Did someone lift you up when they could have put you down? Did the sun shine through the clouds on your way to work? Did you make extra time to enjoy your morning before everyone else woke? … What was it that you did that made your day different than others?
An Extraordinary Day
Today I realized that it was made extraordinary, not by my actions, but with the spirit in which I acted on my day.
Here’s what I noticed:
- I got up when I wanted to, but slept in just enough to feel rewarded
- I showered and got ready for the day immediately
- I put on one of my favorite outfits
- I ate breakfast, made coffee, and talked with my best friend
- I coached a new client in a way I haven’t with any other client -an intuitive success
- I completed what I’d set out to today in my comfortable home office
What’s Your Perception?
When you look at my day, you wouldn’t actually think it was really any different than the rest, but what I didn’t tell you were the things that really rocked my world…
- I planned my day and aligned with what I wanted to feel.
- I connected deeply with my client things morning and I truly tasted every drop of coffee as a I rolled down my throat.
- I reached up, touching my neck mid conversation and smiled as my hand scrawled across one of my scars. “Yes, I am here, Yes. THIS is it,” I thought.
- I drove my car like I enjoy and chose not to drive agitated.
- I replied to the emails in my inbox, giving each person the time and attention they deserve.
- I reveled in the love and kisses of my best friend’s little 4 pound Pomeranian.
- I smiled at complete strangers
- I let the woman with her new-to-walking little boy cross the street in front of me. He giggled with excitement and I felt his joy.
Here’s What I Learned:
Life is lived in between… It is in how we commute to work, how we run meetings, how we connect with each other, how we honor our own ideas, the forethought we give our days, and the perspective we maintain.
What’s The Difference?
So what was different about today? My attitude. And it’s only 5pm… So turn your attention on to the things you want in life. Pay attention to the fact that what sets you on fire about life isn’t so much what you’re doing, but the spirit in which you are doing it. Live with spirit!
You deserve it.
