Absolute Determination

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Be absolutely determined to enjoy what you do.".... Gerry Sikorski

If you're doing something just for fun it takes no determination to enjoy the experience. If you're doing out of duty or need it sometimes requires a mountain of determination to find any pleasure. But it's always there someplace, hidden under the debris that just naturally piles up in life. Look behind the resentment. Lift some spite, there's bound to be something hidden there. Searching among the negatives and finding any pleasure in the mundane takes deliberate forethought and planned actions.

Our best tool is attitude. Getting to the point where adjustments happen almost automatically takes a lot of practice, but they last a lifetime. Seems quite a bargain when what you end up with is better control and understanding of how you function. With that knowledge comes both power and responsibility.

Knowing I possess the ability to make myself more serene makes it impossible to stay agitated. I remember not having a clue and that time was filled with what others made me feel. Now I feel for myself and when I need an adjustment to find pleasure in every moment I own then I happily adjust.

If something has to be done what gain is there in adding to the torture? Face chores cheerfully and they don't stay chores for very long. It's our reaction that sets the tone so hum a snappy tune and get er' done then take pleasure in marking it complete if no other joy can be found. And as always.... think about it.... let it ride.... then YOU decide!!!!
