I don’t mean a hyped up frenzy or an emotional high – I mean a genuine and contagious joy.
I choose to be joyful. This may seem like an odd thing to choose, but this is where the solution lies.
I remember hearing a speaker say: “ In a marriage when the early days of infatuation fades there comes a time where we must choose to remain in love.” He went on to explain: “ The couple that can fully commit to this level of thinking and loving will make it.” He also went on to give some very practical examples of how the ‘fire’ can still be kindled in a relationship so the passion still remains. He was a strong supporter of an enjoyable marriage, not an endurance marriage.
I totally agree that life (and relationship) is to be enjoyed, not endured. So I’m not talking about gritting you teeth and being joyful. I’m talking about making a conscious decision to be joyful and passionate about life. So how do you do it?
1. Get on purpose and get things right. Stop doing the things that are hurting you – smoking, poor eating habits, missing your adjustments. These things are killing you. The crazy thing is you know that and you still keep doing it. Choose LIFE!
This is how to begin the transformation from a life of existence to a life of excellence. This is a huge topic so I’ll be giving you more tips on how to succeed in this. The first step is to make the decision and choose life.
