IGNITING GREATNESS

When training for a new race, the distance doesn't matter - it's the intention behind the effort - so no matter how far you go, it's a step further than not trying.

Letting Go of Anger

We all have and experience anger in our lives, but it's our reaction to that anger that sets the direction of our ability to be happy.  It's when we hold onto something that has made us angry that we stop "living".  We stop having the ability to see and accept new opportunities in our lives.  We think holding onto our anger, telling our story over and over will actually make us feel better, but all it does is keep us stuck in that negative energy place.  We re-live the pain, we continue to let it linger in our bodies, we prevent good things from entering our worlds. 
So the next time something makes you angry, you have a fight with a loved one, get cut off on the road and you feel that rage, allow yourself to feel it, express your emotions, process what has happened, take some time, and then let it go.  Holding onto it will serve no one, especially you.  And be very aware of the disease of "being right" - this one piece would free many people from themselves.  As Dr. Phil states "would you rather be right or be happy".

Only you can decide........

Don't Ride the Roller Coaster

When we can truly grasp the concept that we cannot control the actions or thoughts of anyone else, you will free yourself and create an opportunity for greater happiness.  By letting that go you will avoid the roller-coaster of getting caught in other people's emotions and actions.

You are responsible for and control only you - get that and be happy.....
