Nothing is More Important Than That I Feel Good………
How does this statement make you feel?
If your response is anything but- “Right On!” – you have some explaining to do.
Tell me all the reasons why your happiness is not your priority.
I want to hear about the beliefs that you hold that say it is OK to feel bad.
I am curious to know -what could be more important to you?
In my world there is nothing that is more important than feeling good and I make it my priority to arrange things in my life to support that. ( I’m a self admitted Hedonist but that has very little to do with this! )
I have no doubt that some of you are all fired up because I’m suggesting such a thing, so just settle down and think about this for a bit.
Feeling bad sucks! It certainly doesn’t help you create your Kick-Ass Life-unless of course it lights a fire under your ass and gets you to take some action towards changing things.
You are more likely to live a Kick-Ass Life if you are committed to feeling good.
Your Kick-Ass Life = Feeling Good!
Do you see why it is important now?
If you want to commit to feeling good you are going to need a few tricks up your sleeve.
Here is a great place to start…..
Pay attention to your thoughts. This is something that you actually have control over. You get to choose the thoughts that you are focusing on.
Whenever you are feeling less than good about something, stop and say
Nothing is more important than that I feel good—I want to find a reason NOW to feel good-
and then look for an improved thought. Doing this changes everything very quickly.
Try it out!

More and more I am seeing stuff in the media calling Obama a socialist and challenging his plan for redistributing the wealth in this country. People have such strong opinions about this! The rich say they do not deserve higher taxes because they are successful and the poor say the rich deserve to pay more because they make more and can afford it. Both sides are being played off of one another.
In my opinion, there are some “pre-packaged’ beliefs at play here. The predominate one being that there has to be a winner and a loser and it is impossible for everyone to get what they need. This is a foundational belief in our country and I do not think it is serving us very well. It feeds into the lack mentality that many people suffer from, creates enormous amounts of fear and drives the choices that people are making every day.
I think it is clear that they way we have been doing things is not working and it is time for some drastic change. Lets face it people: we need each other to survive. Lets throw away the belief that there has to be winners and losers and start imagining what it would be like if everyone had everything they needed. Imagine a Win-Win situation for everything. It’s possible because happiness looks different for everyone! I am sure that each of us has a different vision of an ideal life.
I challenge you to release the stories you have bought into about how the world works and what your life is supposed to look like and connect to what is really important and meaningful in your life. I have no doubt that as you get more connected to your dream of an ideal life, you will be better able to allow others to have their dream too, and you will be more willing to help each other achieve those dreams.
