For a change of perspective instead of writing about what is wrong with your life, write is about what is right

 

 I’m not talking about using the words “grateful and forgiveness” these words are general, popular and not all its cracked up to be.

 

 So here are 20 things to feel LUCKY about:

 

               You are lucky if you woke up. I know it’s obvious but think of the alternative.

 

 You are lucky if you are near children because they are wise if you listen to them.

 

 You are luck because even if you are afraid you can face what you fear.

 

 You are lucky because you can change anything you want to.

 

                You are lucky because you can make   your own luck.

 

 

You are lucky because it’s an honor to have any positive relationship.

 

 

You are lucky because you can delete any negative relationship.

 

 

You are lucky because you can find alternatives to get different results.

 

 You are lucky because you can control any part of your life.

 

                 You are lucky because you can change direction.

 

 You are lucky because you have your own path to walk.

 

 You are lucky because are unique.

 

 You are lucky because you can go with the flow of life.

 

 You are lucky because bad things happen too and we learn from them.

 

 You are lucky because you are human.

 

 You are lucky because you can choose.

 

 You are lucky because you can make a difference in someone’s life.

 

 You are lucky because you are more powerful that you think you are.

 

 You are lucky because you are smart.

 

 You are lucky because you are wondrous.

I ran across the mention of a Tibetan yogini by the name of Machig Labdron. She lived in Tibet from 1055 CE to 1149 CE.  You can Google her is you want to know more about her fascinating life. She is known for the following 5 sayings. To practice all of them covers just about every aspect of negativity that holds you back. If you practice them you will become brave and confident. Guaranteed.

 1. Confess your hidden thoughts.  (This is not the same as confessing to a priest. It is acknowledging what is bothering you. You can write or tell someone, it’s up to you).

2.Approach what you find repulsive.  (For example, you see a dirty, homeless person and you are repulsed. Try looking at that person instead of ignoring them)

3.Help those you think you cannot help. (For example, speaking to someone who can’t help himself or herself like a struggling addict).

4.Anything you are attached to, give it back. (This means, instead of being so attached to something that it obstructs your life, let it go and trust that if its meant to stay it will).

5.Go to places that scare you. (That job interview, new places, eating alone in a restaurant, speaking up, the cemetery or any place that creeps you out. Not unsafe situations).

 This practice is easier said than done most of the time. Because life has a way of keeping certain issues in front of you time and time again. Those issues will stay there until you face them. These sayings or method of eliminating stressful issues will work if you try them.

 Happy hunting down those pesky stubborn issues that won’t go away and dissolving them.

Words – they can make you or break you. Words can uplift and destroy, create goodness and damnation, get you what you want or push it away.

Words are wonder and horror. Withholding words is depressing and dangerous and make you cry and cringe.

Words unexpressed, unsaid, untold, unwritten are a cancerous sore oozing to be placed where they belong.

Words look for a home. In a heart, in an ear, in the air, on paper, on a sidewalk, on the radio, on the TV, in a song, on a billboard, even T-shirts.

Where do your words belong? Are they good? Are they hurtful? Are your words generous with praise? Did you choose your words carefully to unearth a misunderstanding? Did your words help you grow? Did your words help someone else?

Words are as important as water because of the weight they carry. Without words we become dry and brittle and unable to communicate our needs and desires. Words create smoothness. Words create trust, insight, understanding, and clarity. The way a river moves quickly so words quickly move our lives.

Today choose your words carefully because they can change the course of your life forever.

Will your words be wonderful or wicked?
