When you consistently make more beneficial and rewarding choices each day you will quickly feel, hear and see better benefits in each area of your wheel of life.

The universe leaves clever clues, hidden hints, imbedded insights and subtle suggestions every day to help you be even more happy, healthy and in harmony. Are you feeling, hearing and seeing them? We all face various challenges and choices each day that move us closer or further from our dreams and goals. One key goal is to stop making DUMB choices and start making SMART choices. When you consistently make more beneficial and rewarding choices each day you will quickly feel, hear and see better benefits in each area of your wheel of life. Over time the better choices begin to add up and compound for more rapid results.

Emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellness depends on your identity and vision for being happy and healthy so chose wisely were you invest your energy, money and time.   Most people spend way too much time majoring in minor minutia and small stuff rather than focusing on the big stuff or the one key thing that will make the most difference to help transform their life.

More Magic Moments

Happy Boys

When you continually focus on creating a life of happy habits, holistic health and natural nutrition your investment will pay off with big dividends.

This post contains direct and subtle solutions, strategies, suggestions and systems. We are programmed to move away from pain and move towards pleasure yet we often indirectly do just the opposite and end up with lots of pain and wonder what happened.  When you condition your mind to live in a state of gratitude, happiness and love it leads to a life full of magic moments. When you continually focus on creating a life of happy habits, holistic health and natural nutrition your investment will pay off with big dividends.  Remember we enjoy big benefits and rapid results when we develop the decisiveness, determination and discipline to consistently improve the behavior basics and foundation fundamentals for a peak performance life.

Remember whether you say you can or say you can’t, you are right.  If you say you do not have the energy or time to implement these simple suggestions it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and you begin sliding and slipping backwards.   When you make a firm decision, create a mastery action plan and take action to implement it the universe conspires to help support you towards the fulfillment of your desires and dreams.  We all have the same number of hours each day.  It is a matter of how you choose to invest your time that will determine the results and rewards you experience.

The mental beliefs, choices and decisions we make determine our lifestyle so choose wisely.  Your emotions and feelings each day will either pull you toward being happy, healthy and in harmony or push you towards being sad, sick and stressed.  Each one of us has the ability to program and reprogram their hard drive (Mind), operating system (Beliefs, Memories and Programming) and software (Values and Vision) for a happy and healthy lifestyle.

Your conscious and subconscious minds function like a GPS navigation system.  We are programmed with our values, vision and rules to determine which decisions, directions and route to follow. Once you are clear on your current quality of life ratings you can focus on the areas that will move you in the direction you need to reach your ultimate dream destination.  With a clear blueprint, emotional energy, empowering goals, mastery action plan, role models and success strategy your mind will find a way to win.

It is estimated that most people only use approximately 5 to 10% of their full mental potential.  That means that most people are accessing only a small percent of their minds capacity.  Anything that can be done to access more of this unused potential can add significant benefits to any areas where this potential is applied.  When you are tapping into your full potential you begin to see magic moments and rapid results in any area of life you desire.

Woman Stressed Out

Many people are dealing with emotional, mental, physical, relationship and spiritual upsets that trigger even more unresourceful behaviors and beliefs which often lead to additional disempowering actions.

Many people are dealing with emotional, mental, physical, relationship and spiritual upsets that trigger even more unresourceful behaviors and beliefs which often lead to additional disempowering actions.  Many people turn to addictions and excessive indulgence in alcohol, caffeine, drugs, fake, fast and junk foods, gambling, gossiping, hypochondria, medications, overeating, porn, shopping, sugar, TV or video games.  When you consistently allow negative influences to control you life you are doomed to a life of disappointment, frustration and regrets.

When you learn to take back control of your emotional state of being and pull your owns strings and push your own buttons you have the life you deserve and desire.  While we may feel and look like an adult on the outside most of us are behaving like children trying to satisfy unresolved emotional hurts and issues on the inside.
