—SUMMARY—
Blessed & Fortunate

It’s downright stupid to say that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Why? Because you can’t.
Or how do you explain the child in Africa with not even the basic needs and necessities covered? Being happy to live just another day in misery…
…How about THAT?? Really.
The contrast couldn’t be less stark.
And then there is the blind/retard/mentally handicapped person/rape victim/you name it.
Indeed, we’re blessed AND fortunate.
And that’s why, this week, I’ve got five big ideas (and reminders) for you.
This is especially important for you, if you’re currently feeling frustrated, miserable, and stuck in your life.
Ok, enough for a build-up.
Without further ado…
…Here we go:
—INSPIRING INSIGHTS—
- FIRST AND FOREMOST YOU AND I, WE, ARE BLESSED AND FORTUNATE. Be grateful for what you already have right now. Remember, the only way to feel truly fulfilled is in the here & now. Make sure you make time for THAT. (That’s also how you feel fulfilled NOW; no matter where you’re at, or what you’ve been through—happiness is found within. It IS a state of mind you can willingly influence to your advantage.)
- THOUGH IT MAY SEEM AS IF THE WHOLE WORLD’S GOING DOWN …in the midst of all the chaos lies golden opportunity (opportunities, actually). However, you got to FOCUS on ’em to see ’em. So, focus on what you DO want. (NOTE: Most people don’t know what it is they exactly want and, thus, wonder why they’re stuck!) Compared to others, i.e. the starving child in Africa/the rape victim in your city/the mentally handicapped person/the blind …YOU have the opps.
- BELIEVE IT OR NOT (I DIDN’T TILL RECENTLY), BUT WE ARE LIVING IN THE MOST PEACEFUL ERA IN HUMAN HISTORY. Just search Google and do the research yourself. It may surprise you. Let’s move on…
- THE IMPORTANCE OF THE 3 Ms IN MODERN TIMES: Mindfulness, Meditation, and Mastery. Hence, be present … and slow down … and meditate (or simply relax)—and commit to mastery. More on that in the video/podcast audio above!
- LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE “TRICKY SPOT”: Find the right balance between ambition, adventure, and—again—gratitude.
And, as always:
Enjoy the Journey,
