This assumption is both right and wrong. It is right because when you are happy, you usually have happy thoughts in your mind. You have a positive outlook and your mood is generally elevated. Your outlook on life is one of hope and abundance. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Your-Own-Personal-Big-Give.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Your-Own-Personal-Big-Give.html Have you ever considered the awesome power of the Law of Attraction? It can manifest so many great things in your life. Have you ever considered using it to help others? Does it work that way? Can it work that way? http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/You-Can-Have-It-AllJust-Not-All-At-Once.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/You-Can-Have-It-AllJust-Not-All-At-Once.html Usually, when it comes to attaining our goals and seeing our dreams come true, we have set a timeline or, at least, have one in mind. That is a good thing. It keeps us focused, motivated. It is tangible; it is binary, measurable: have I been, done, reached such-and-such? Yes or no… http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Wonder-Woman-Wannabe.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Wonder-Woman-Wannabe.html Belief is such an important part of the Law of Attraction. Belief begins with believing in yourself. Sometimes it can be hard believing in yourself. There have been those giving you feedback all your life. Some of the feedback has been positive and some not so positive. Not everyone can give good constructive criticism, not to mention those who are just mean and say things to hurt others. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Which-Side-Of-The-Road-Am-I-Supposed-To-Be-On.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Which-Side-Of-The-Road-Am-I-Supposed-To-Be-On.html Years ago, my honey, Robin, and I planned a trip back to his homeland, Australia. Part of that trip entailed me driving. I knew that they drive on the opposite side of the road than Americans do. What I did not pay too much attention to was the fact that the driver’s seat is on the other side of the car. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/What-Instrument-Do-You-Play-In-The-Symphony-Of-Life.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/What-Instrument-Do-You-Play-In-The-Symphony-Of-Life.html It is sometimes hard to figure out your place in life. What is your purpose? What are you meant to do in life? I like to think of life as a large symphony. Each player in the symphony plays a certain part. There are different instruments in each section –piano, violins, cellos, flutes, trumpets, percussion. Each section seeks to play in harmony with the other. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Think-it-Believe-it-and-Lose-it--Easily.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Think-it-Believe-it-and-Lose-it--Easily.html With the media’s recent focus on weight gain, it’s no wonder that much individual attention is being drawn towards the numbers on the scale. But is it working? With each passing year, the statistics tell a tale of the increasing number of overweight people across the nation. Daily, the news reports phrases like “obesity trend”, “childhood obesity” and “fast food epidemic.” http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/The-Power-Of-Thanks.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/The-Power-Of-Thanks.html If you were like me growing up, when it came to accepting presents or gifts from others, your parents may have told you, “No, you can not accept that.” They told you this for a variety of reasons, but the message was clear. You should not accept gifts. To further complicate things you may have grown up hearing the old adage “It is better to give than to receive.” http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/The-Painting.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/The-Painting.html I have been posting several articles and blogs about faith lately, so I decided to give you something fun to play with this time for a lighter focus. Here is an exercise that will help you visualize yourself in the most positive way. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Pursuit-of-Happiness.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/1716/Pursuit-of-Happiness.html With International Happiness Day quickly approaching, it made me think about our right to be happy. In the United States Constitution is the right to pursue happiness. I think this is a noble idea, but if that were true why does it seem that some many people are having such a hard time finding it?
