MOMENTUM

Are you happy? This is a question everyone finds some level of difficulty in answering or at least some hesitation. Do you recall the last time or just anytime you felt really good about yourself? You should.

I am going to give you something to try: if it works for you, keep doing it, and if it doesn’t then find something else to try.

You must have done something the last time you felt good about yourself; a good deed, solved a problem, or even made someone else feel good about themselves- whatever it was that you did, it was an action that you took, and happiness was the reward.

How about now? Why did you not keep up with what you did to keep your spirits even higher? You did something and felt happy and satisfied, but you stopped, you did not repeat the action.

So today I would love you to recall an event or a scenario that made you proud of yourself. Try to repeat the actions you took, or the words you said, or something else you can immediately do to simulate the scenario. It doesn’t have to be something big, just take a little step…small steps add up to a very big stairway.

When you do that, don’t stop- do it again, then do it again, then do it one more time- keep going and never look back, because happiness is a constant state. When you stop doing good, you stop feeling good, it’s that simple.

Use the momentum from the first act to roll over the next step, and the next step, and then the step after that.

You did something to feel happy, now you can't do nothing and expect the same reward- it just doesn’t work that way. So go ahead and be happy. Choose to be happy. It’s all up to you.
