How do you want to feel every day?

Sometimes, I forget that I can choose how I want to feel. While circumstances do happen beyond my control, I still get to decide how I want to react. I want to feel grateful, loving, joyful, and peaceful every day. Therefore, I need to do things to help me feel that way.

If I want to feel grateful, then I need to practice gratitude. My blessings multiply when I pause and start writing them down. The more I write down, the more things my brain seems to find. To be more loving, I need to think of everything I love and express love.

Whatever we focus on expands in our lives. Therefore, I want to be careful what I believe and think.

God gave us our beautiful lives. We should live them as if we love them and enjoy them. The Bible tells us that life is like a vapor: while it is here today, it could very well be gone tomorrow. None of us know how much time we have left.

Time doesn’t seem as precious to us when we believe that we have an abundance of it. If we could grasp just how short our time is on earth, then we would live differently. We could stop focusing on our flesh’s small, insignificant worries and learn to live from our soul.
