“Everybody has problems, but everybody also has blessings in life.” – Robert W. Bly
I’m often criticized because some people think that I talk about ‘blessings’ too much, however, I know from ‘experience’ that counting my blessings has saved my life on so many levels. And I often site these studies on blessings in our ‘video conferences’.
Research carried out by Harvard Neurology Dept; Behaviour Research; Therapy Scientists and Psychological Science on the power of keeping a ‘gratitude journal’ as they call it
These studies found that people:
- Strengthen their positive emotions
- Develop a positive personality
- Become more optimistic
- Realize that they are the master of their own happiness
- Begin practicing self-love and start to recognize their own value
- Develop a mental toughness
- Cultivate assertiveness
These results are impressive but there aren’t many people who will PRACTICE this, and maybe this is why ‘man’s world’ right now is in so much disarray. As a result, there are too many negative people on this planet right now, and further, the media doesn’t help. They are ‘training’ you to panic and stress. YOU NEED AN ANTIDOTE.
So the challenge is to cultivate that consciousness and hold it every day, as well as recognize it every day. In other words, you may recognize that you missed the mark, however that inspires you that tomorrow you’ll pay more attention.
Likewise, it’s a re-education process for your own personal refinement, happiness, and success which affects not just you, but everyone around you, including your family; children; business; staff; customers; and your friends
We have no idea of our Creative Power! We doubt ourselves and others. In other words, what are you allowing to fragment your power? Therefore, are you willing to take the steps required to eliminate this fragmentation that is blocking your creative power?
Here is a comment that I really appreciated from someone at our ‘video conference’ at our Friday session yesterday:
“I have a deeper understanding with you as our creative coach. The Friday sessions are so important as you keep us on track. Thank you, Magic Mike.” – Craig Finch Oracle Brokers.
