MENTAL TOUGHNESS FOR LIFE PUBLICATION

Monday January 17, 2022

We need to develop a very clear picture of what we want in our life.

It can’t be a wish list.

It must be a must list.

Here’s the recipe.

The clearer the picture that we have of what we want in our life creates more order, less fear, less doubt and less confusion.

Also, while we are on this quest, we must understand that the journey is far more important than the goal. The present is our 86,400/24/7 experience that I call the zone.

When you are in the zone it is virtually impossible to experience the garbage emotions that love to derail and immobilize us.

Doubt, fear, lack and limitation, uncertainty, anxiety, panic etc. will not overwhelm us but we must remain in the present moment.

The past is a memory and the future is a mystery.

You can learn from the past and you can plan for the future but do not give up your claim to the present, as it is a gift.

When you are given a gift, the answer is simple.

Thank you.

In a spirit of gratitude and expectation we give thanks.

Thank you.

These two little words say it all.

When you need gratitude in your life listen to Gratitude, as there are many thank you notes in this music.

GRATITUDE

So, how can we be more grateful?

We can be more grateful about what we already have in our midst. It’s so easy to be upset and angry about what we don’t have.

Roy T. Bennett’s recipe is as follows.

“More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.” – Roy T. Bennett

It’s all about choices.

The choices that we make determine the outcome.

“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” - Nelson Mandela

Life is full of choices.

Sometimes it’s difficult to know which direction to take in life so we make decisions either based on hope or fear.

Choose hope and not fear as choosing fear always leads to the road that is mostly congested with lack and limitation.

Fear really represents false evidence that appears real. However, it appears so real that it does a number on us intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, physically and financially.

This road is chosen by ninety-seven percent of the population.

The other freeway is the road that is less traveled.

Only three percent of the population choose this freeway. This freeway is absolutely incredible to drive upon because it provides all the results that you want, desire and deserve every single day of your life.

This freeway is fueled by hope and fearless action.

Here is an example.

One mustard seed can produce over 80,000 seeds; faith as small as a mustard seed.

Faith represents fearless actions in trust and humility.

You're going to act.

You're going to move out.

You're going to do whatever it is that you need to do every single day but you're going to do it in trust; in yourself and in some higher entity or some higher creative force.

The recipe as I see it, is this:

Burning Desire + Action coupled with gratitude, hope and faith creates results beyond our wildest dreams.

In order for this recipe to work efficiently, we must all have a belief in ourselves beyond words.

This must be a belief that transcends all self-imposed restrictions, societal or familial expectations etc.

Choose hope as this is the most important ingredient for the above recipe.

You've got this.
