Life is full of so many interesting and wonderful things. Even moving through your regular routine if you look, really look you will see so many things that make you take a little deeper breath, a little pause in your stride, to enjoy where you are and what is going on right in front of you.

Every one seems so rushed these days, and the news just perpetuates that rush and bother. The news segments are purposefully laid out to give us headlines of fear and doom and gloom, followed seamlessly by the latest drug to cure our anxiety or other perceived stress related malaise…

The really interesting part to me is that we are wonderful, amazing, brilliant beings… filled with light and love and the most amazing capacity for creativity.

And yet most of us just don’t see it, especially in ourselves…

But its there and when we decide to stop and look and open our hearts to seeing what is really there it about knocks us over with how great life can really be.

Take a minute out of the rush of your day, trade in the news and prognostications of fear and angst and let your spirit soar like an eagle and glide over this amazing planet we live on with your minds eye. The world is expanding, shifting the old and growing to a new sustainable brilliant way for all of us to create our lives.

Set the intention to make a new habit starting today – to stop everyday and be happy if only for a few sparkling minutes. Who knows you may decide it is a whole lot better than the habit of watching the news and going along quietly and believing that the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

“Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn’t stop to enjoy it.” ~ William Feather

Let me know what changes in your day as you start to strengthen this new habit.
