With the beginning of a new year, are you happy with your
life the way it is now? You just set new goals and resolutions for 2003
but are you satisfied with where you are now?

This is a serious question that you need to ask
yourself. You can't get to where you're going if you don't know where
you've been. You need to appreciate what you have now in order to be
able to receive more.

You want more money to flow into your life but are you
grateful for what you have now? True it may not be as much as you would
like to have but doesn't it pay the bills now? And if not all of the
bills, doesn't that money help in some way?

Instead of looking at the negative aspects of life -
turn them around and find the positive part. Just like a battery,
everything in life has a positive and a negative side.

Your outlook on a potentially negative situation can
alter your future. By focusing on the negative parts, say you have an
older car in need of minor repairs, you're causing more negativity to
fall into play. Like attracts like. So the more you focus on the bad
things - your car isn't running perfectly - the more bad things are
going to happen.

The flip side of that is if you choose to focus on the
good things, you attract more goodness into your life. If you
acknowledge the fact that you have a car and even though it doesn't run
in perfect condition anymore - it does get you where you need to go
everyday. Being grateful for what you have and showing it opens the
doors for new possibilities.

You're unhappy with the way you're body is shaped. You
want to change the way you look You want a little less here and a
little more there. Have you stopped to thank your body for the
thousands of daily miracles it provides to keep you going on a daily
basis? The human body is a miracle and yet we complain day in and day
out about what we don't like about it. But thanking your body for what
it does for you is very beneficial.

Stressing over your body image only causes more stress -
not a new look. You might get into the gym for a week or two but after
that it's back to the same routine. But appreciating and admiring your
body for what it is now will lead you to take steps to improve on it.
And these improvements won't be lead by your ego but your heart
instead, so these will be permanent improvements in your lifestyle and
body.

Once you begin to love your body a chain reaction starts
- you begin to love your body, then you love your self and then you
start doing things that benefit your self and your body by exercising
more and eating healthier foods.

So it all depends on how you look at things. There's a
negative and a positive side to every situation. As the new year
begins, ask yourself which side do you want to focus on in your life
situations.
