Do you want more happiness in your life?

Life is a beautiful gift from G-d that affords us the opportunity to express our true nature of love and vitality to its fullest potential.  We wake up every morning to begin each day anew with the privilege to make each day the best day of our lives.  We are all given the opportunity to give, love, and serve out of our own abundance.  We are given the opportunity share, mold, and encourage the people around us.  We are given the opportunity to display our unique talents to the world and to make it a better place for ourselves and the people around us.  We are given the opportunity to exercise our own volitional consciousness to make powerful choices to shape our future.  We are given the opportunity to confront these gifts that we call challenges to reach higher levels of consciousness, spirituality, and creativity.  Circumstances may change.  The people around us may change.  Situations may change.  But there is one constant that is omnipresent and that is our power to choose and to be intentional about our choices.  Not our power to choose occurrences or outcomes but our ability to choose how we react to those situations and how we choose to respond.  There is one constant every successful person on the planet  possesses and exercises, whether you define success by spiritual abundance, financial abundance, personal abundance, or contribution.  That one constant is intention.  They live an intentional life.  They are intentional with their thoughts, words, and deeds.  They are intentional with their spiritual practice and physical practice.  They are intentional with their day to day activities.  They are intentional with their planning and training and the list goes on and on.  But the happiest people in the world are intentional in the areas the count the most: they are intentional with their love and gratitude for everything and everyone around them including themselves.  They live with  unconditional love and gratitude in their hearts so strong it magnifies and magnetizes everyone around them.  It is a genuine, conscious, and deliberate practice that creates a force for good and transformation in themselves and the people around them.  Everyday, I attempt to live my life as Mother Teresa describes that "I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world." Every moment of every day gives us the opportunity to choose.  To choose to love or not to love.  Choose wisely. Choose powerfully.
