Lifting up

Yes, it’s been a while since anything’s been added to this page. Sometimes I feel like it takes a minute to integrate all the things that happen in a life, and in the lives of those around you, to such a level that it can be understood.

Understanding is key. Especially the understanding that can be gained for what’s going on inside ourselves.

Whether things seem ‘good’ or ‘bad’ they can still change us. And change is powerful.

So powerful is change that it is my belief if one thing changes, even something seemingly small, it will change all that surrounds it.

It follows that in order to lift ourselves up we really need only focus on one small thing at a time to affect all the many things we experience day to day. You know when you get really excited about something, then you talk to someone about something else, you are likely to be more excited about that conversation than usual.

Similarly, when you get that ticket to that concert you really wanted to see, you probably have a good day.

That’s how simple it is. Transform an experience on one small level and all the other experiences most likely will follow. Write  a thank you note, and you feel gratitude. Make someone a cake and you get to have a piece with them. Play a guitar and you love music all the more.

To sum it up, do something that makes you feel great and inspired and your life becomes more great and inspired. You never know what effect this might have on the people you meet and those you love.

Try it and see.
