What's Going Right In Life?

Let The Journey Begin ...

I've spent the past 20 years studying the power of the mind and human behaviour. I've also studied some of the world's best in personal development to come up with how to achieve the best from life.

Some of the most important things I've learnt have come from helping clients solve their life problems. As the old saying goes: By helping others, you are also helping yourself.

Over the next few newsletters I plan to help you to achieve more from your life.

This is our year for achieving. The year for getting results.

So, let's begin the journey ...

First, make a list of what is going right in your life.

How many things can you think of?

When I ask my clients what is going right, the common response is "Not Much".

When I ask what is going wrong, there are many items on the list.

This indicates they are giving more energy to what they don't have and what is going wrong than to what they do have and what is going right.

Let me help you out with your list of what's going right.

Write down:

• 5 things you love about each member of your family
  
• 5 things you love about each of your friends
  
• 5 things you love about your job
  
• 5 things you like about your car (even if it is an old bomb - it has a roof to keep the weather out, windscreen wipers to clear the rain, heater, air conditioning, seats, a glove box, boot to store things, etc)
  
• what's working well in your body - arms, legs, eyes, nose, etc. Some people do not have all of these
  
• everything you own. Do a stock take on each room in your home, garage and garden. Itemise each thing. Number of shoes, utensils and shirts. This also helps with your Home and Contents Insurance!
  
• your investments. What are the assets you own?
  
• the people who are helping you to achieve - like financial planners and coaches.

Now I'm willing to bet, especially after writing a list of all you own, there are hundreds, if not thousands of things on your list. These are all things that are assets to you. They are in your life because they serve a function.

Now you have more things going right than going wrong. When things start to go wrong, read your list and focus on what you do have and the thing going wrong may just pale into insignificance.

For example, when something doesn't work out, I focus on what a great family I have, our awesome home and the things we are able to do. Instantly, the thing not working out has no significance. It no longer matters in comparison.

Action Plan

As this is the year to achieve, make your list of what is going right, what is happening and what you do own.

Put it in a safe place so you can regularly review it.

Importantly, you now become grateful for what is in your life. Gratitude means you attract more of the same.
