"We experience the deeper, more generic, human feelings that are generated from a natural state of mind: contentment, love, and gratitude. This is a state in which we see life clearly....We can do anything in this state of mind (including unpleasant things) because our minds are not cluttered with thoughts of the past, the future, or judgments about how we are doing. We deal with whatever is before us. This is the state of mind from which new and creative ideas evolve, and where solutions to problems seem obvious." by Richard Carlson, Ph.D in You Can Be Happy No Matter What: 5 Principles for Keeping Life in Perspective.
I have experienced this myself and the results are extraordinary. I have solved problems, accessed more money, paid unpleasant bills and made difficult decisions, held difficult conversations when starting from a state of positive energy and joy. Solutions materialized from my mind after I had struggled and struggled and thought there truly was no way out. Miraculous!
Life can be so much easier when you approach it with an attitude of gratitude, embrace the joys in your life, and remain planted in the moment.
