How’s that working for you?

Posted on: Tuesday, April 17th, 2007 Categories: Sustain Happiness

To begin living the Law of Attraction we must agree to its only condition: We stop making excuses for our lack of happiness. The Law does not listen to excuses and recognizes no victims.
Buying into offering excuses for what we do not have only perpetuates more of the same. In other words, if you keep […]

Our happiness is a choice – we are either attracted to happiness or we are not

Posted on: Monday, April 16th, 2007 Categories: Sustain Happiness

How we live our lives is a choice – a choice between deciding to engage in positive thoughts and feelings or negative ones. Beginning this week the subject of my posts will be about the impact the Law of Attraction has had on my family and every aspect of my life and how it can […]

Understanding the Trigger & Spin Cycle

Posted on: Sunday, April 15th, 2007 Categories: Sustain Happiness

Typically, a trigger is caused by a specific stimulus. In my personal example I shared yesterday (be sure to read yesterday’s post below this one), the stimulus is the sound of a lawn mower or the smell of cut grass. Another way to look at a trigger is to consider it a “sneak attack.” Meaning, […]

Triggers & Spins

Posted on: Saturday, April 14th, 2007 Categories: Sustain Happiness

Since Andrew couldn’t play baseball today (it did snow about 2” last night), I took him to Wal-Mart for an eye exam and a new supply of contact lens. The doctor was pleasant and she took good care of him. When she introduced herself to me I noticed immediately that she had a speech impediment. […]

Not a bad day at all

Posted on: Friday, April 13th, 2007 Categories: Sustain Happiness

Not a bad day at all, considering it’s Friday the 13th. Aside from the fact I do have a lot of bad habits, I’m really not a superstitions person. I’ve never feared walking under a ladder or allowing a black cat to cross my path.
The way I see it, if I put myself in a […]

Take Out Your Garbage

Posted on: Thursday, April 12th, 2007 Categories: Sustain Happiness

Most of us carry garbage from out past into our present. This garbage is oftentimes toxic, weighs us down, causes us to be off-balance and unhappy, and it keeps us from creating the life that we want.
This garbage is heavy to our hearts, souls and minds as any physical burden is to our bodies. For […]

The here and now

Posted on: Wednesday, April 11th, 2007 Categories: Sustain Happiness

It’s been rainy in the Midwest the last couple of days. We have suffered from below-normal temperatures and the lack of sunshine. Mary Beth is about to go nuts with this reminder of winter and I’m close behind. Our youngest son, Andrew, keeps getting his baseball games postponed and Emily who is all set to […]

I’m learning to be happier at work

Posted on: Tuesday, April 10th, 2007 Categories: Sustain Happiness

The past few months have been difficult for me. This is the first time I have written about my job since starting the site because, to be honest, I’ve been ignoring the need to talk about it.
My job comes with a lot of criticism and judgments (usually negative ones) from others. I am the director […]

Happiness Exists Beyond our Comfort Zones

Posted on: Monday, April 9th, 2007 Categories: Sustain Happiness

Happiness & growth happens on the other side of our comfort zone. Fear fills the gap between our comfort zone and growth. Taking the first step and walking through the fear is fundamental to creating happiness and the life we want.
We all have a defined comfort zone based on particular events or circumstances that have […]

Our children can show us the way to happiness, too

Posted on: Saturday, April 7th, 2007 Categories: Law of Attraction

Caitlin, our oldest daughter, just had her senior prom and she will graduate high school in about a month. It is a cliché, but where has the time gone? Caitlin is our second child. Her older brother Brandon was not too happy when she was born. He tried to keep the spotlight on him at […]
