Getting to an Exceptional Life

     I want to share with you some thoughts I'm having this morning.  My life in the last few weeks has really become joyous, and I asked myself: What am I doing differently to create these wonderful days?  I suspect the following has a direct causal influence on the difference I am experiencing. 

     The first activity that I have incorporated into my daily activities is: Exercise.  I get a good start to each day by my morning walk.

     The next thing I do, almost from the moment I awake, and throughout the day is Giving Thanks: I thank God, Allah, Source, The Universe, Universal Mother, by whatever name fits for you, for all that I have, and appreciate all the people, material goods, Nature's bounty, and abundance that I now am Blessed to have. 

     The third, and probably the first I put into practice was a good healthy diet:  I eliminated meat and dairy products from my diet; not for religious purposes, purely for the harmful effects they produce in my body.  I also started eating mostly live foods, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains.  (and I bless them both before and during meals)

      Another change was: The associations that I allow to be a part of my life: no longer am I willing to associate with Negative people or influences such as Most News Organizations, so I seldom watch the news, no longer spend 1 - 1/2 hours reading the NY Times daily.  Those I do associate with are those both virtual online, and in real life who are positive about life and living.  Those who are inspirational: Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor, James Ray, John Assaraf, and many others too numerous to mention.

     When my TV blew up, I realized that almost all of the time I was devoting to it was not adding anything really to my life's purpose; just a way of wasting those precious moments one by one.  I now use the new tv to watch inspirational or educational videos that are so much more valuable.  Did not bother to re-subscribe to the cable tv.  

     A result of all this is that now I constantly look for ways to contribute to others.  I became a giver.  (Let me share with you it is one heck of a lot more fun than being a taker, always looking out for "What's In It For Me").

     So, what's in my future?  At least one book, authored and published.  I'll be a motivational speaker, I am a darn good coach and continue to develop my coaching skills.  Women have re-appeared in my life, and that really is fun - been a long time absent in that area.  Or as some say in Texas YEEEEEEEE   HAAAAAAAAA.

     Oh, one activity that I know from past personal experience is most helpful is Meditation.  I shall be incorporating that into my life also.

     Isn't this life a wondrous journey?  (Even those parts that while going through them seemed to be the most horrible)
