THE DAILY SPARK

HAPPINESS

“Is this thing I want to acquire removing a negative from my life?”

We all want things from time to time. We think and have been often convinced that acquiring things will bring us happiness.  Most of us know this isn’t true.  There is always another thing tempting us with some grandiose promise.  But, what if you used  a different barometer?  What if you look at purchasing with a lens of removing something you have been tolerating? (like a broken dishwasher or a garage door that doesn’t remotely open and you have to get out in the cold and rain to open it)

Repairing or replacing that annoying thing may bring happiness to you!

My thoughts based on Tim Ferris Blog with Mr. Money Mustache

REFLECTION:

  • Are you on the endless treadmill of purchasing things hoping it will deliver happiness?
  • Is there some negative in you life you can remove to be happier?
  • Make a list of things you are tolerating and start to address them.

PROCESS

Created By Renee Brooks

“Process saves us from the poverty of our intentions.”

Just get started then you can see progress and surprising things can happen.

Quote from Elizabeth King – Sculptor

REFLECTION:

  • Is there something you have “intended” to do?
  • What process can you put in place to make progress?

DIVINE PLAN

“Know that there is a Divine Plan of such majesty and glory that if you were granted a tiny sliver of understanding, you would expire in the brilliance of the Light of Love that accompanies it.”

Excerpt from Close To Home by Erin Caldwell

REFLECTION:

Know that there is a Divine Plan … really?

Sometimes it is so hard to trust all is happening for our highest and best. I often say life is best lived backwards because you can get the clarity of why things happened as they did.

What is challenging you right now?

How can you see this from a different perspective?

What if you believed this was happening FOR YOU, not to you. How would you view this challenge?
