It is wonderful to have goals, aspirations, wishes and
dreams but not in the absence of acceptance and gratitude for what currently
is!
Sometimes we can get so focused on furthering ourselves
(in relationship, with our weight, in our career etc) that we can forget to
enjoy today, the present.
For instance, you can want a raise and do the actions
that it will take to attain that while at the same time having deep gratitude
for your job. It would be a mistake to
treat people at work badly until you got paid more as in the end you will end
up feeling terrible at work!
In many of the personal development courses that I have
studied, they do tend to focus on what needs "fixing". Looking at
what's missing all the time can be very depressing indeed.
Another more positive way to approach life is celebrating
what's working!!! What's awesome? What is exciting? And the things that aren't working can also
have a "gift" inside. How about looking at it from another
angle? Is there a context or perspective
that could shift your view on this situation?
You can be happy right now.
