Feel great - invigorate!

See now, that's what I've been bumbling on about.

Today I had a wonderful drive in the country, enjoying the blue skies and the stereo.
I had two really good interviews with candidates that should be successful if I can just get the client to meet them.
I had a nice light lunch
I've had a productive and thought provoking afternoon with some great discussion
I may have solutions to a couple of my existing challenges

Is this all because the sun is out?

I think not.

Certainly the weather helps to lighten ones mood but what's really at play here is the emotions and the affect they have on our activity and our desire.

I say again, in order to achieve we must first of all think right and behave right - I wholeheartedly agree with Tony Robbins who amongst others champions the idea that our action feeds our emotion and our emotion colours our resulting decisions.

How was your day?

Blimey the suns out!

And on top of that, a few more positive things have occurred, in fact I might even go so far as saying today has so far been reasonably useful.

Not quite the same as 'This has been a GREAT day!' I suppose but useful nevertheless.

It occurs to me that even in my somewhat enlightened state of mind, I am still not quite able to pull off that buddhist trick of total peace, calm and tranquility and great joy just because i'm alive - every day.

I'm not suggesting we should all take up buddhism you understand, just that their ideal is somewhat difficult for most of the rest of the humans on the planet to master.

I wonder if we can leverage moments of peace and tranquility at will the rest of the time?

I can - can you?

Raining again

Yes really, it is raining again - it really does seem unrelenting at the moment.

I saw on the news this morning that across the rest of Europe there are many places with the reverse problem, too much heat - forest fires all over the place.

Made me think once again that it all depends on ones perception of the current environment as to how your mood goes and how your emotions come into play.

What am I on about? Well here at the moment a lot of us are thinking wouldn't it be nice to jet off to the sun of Spain and bask there in the suns golden rays, blue skies, light breeze, cool drink etc. and yet in Spain and Greece, they are well and truly fed up of the stupid sunshine and are praying for rain - they would be exstatic if they suddenly had our downpour.

Yet another point that can be used to work on life's dull moments - we can choose to be miserable or choose to find fortune in any situaton.

Could always be worse....
