“The task is, for everything you wish were different, you remember something that you would never want to be different.” Attitudes of Gratitude in Love

Have you ever met someone who often talks about something they wish were different, but which the have absolutely no power to control. “I wish I never —“, “I wish so & so would —“, “I wish this wasn’t —“? More importantly, when was the last time you felt like this? It’s been said many different ways, but the truth is that what we focus on defines how we feel and what kind of life we manifest. Today I’ll take MJ Ryan’s suggestion, and if I find myself obsessively thinking (or speaking) about something I want to change but have no control over, I’ll consciously let it go and instead think about something I’m grateful for. It really is that simple. And doing this will quickly get me back into the zone where ILML!
