What's love got to do with it?

It amazes me how I can get to 57 years old and still learn so much about myself. Are you learning anything new about you?? I bet you do.
Because of what we are taught from age 0 to where we are right now on the age timeline, we make decisions, feel certain ways about things and live our lives really, based on those beliefs without ever questioning them. I joined in "The Ultimate Game of Life" by Jim Bunch this past 3 months and learned so much I'm busting to tell you about it. Or should I say make you question about it.
So clear your mind of distractions for a moment. I'll wait:)....now picture in your mind what the happiest day of your life would look like. Picture all the details, get caught up in it...yes daydream about it. Now capture all the details as you write that down on paper. (yes you have to write it down so stop whining) just do it! I want you to see how easy it is to get exactly what makes you happy. Write down 6-8 actions you can take that you can do on a daily basis that will bring that happy day right to your front door. (Not to discourage you but if your happy day envolves anyone else, they are working their plan as well and it may not be cohesive with yours)
If you are skeptical, like I am, try it with something that only relys on you to get it accomplished. Say you want to be more relaxed and have more fun each day. Your action steps could be to take a walk outside for 15 mintues every day, to sing along with your favorite song twice a day, to meditate before bed every night.
Now try it out and see if you can reach that happiness goal.
Here is what i learned about myself that was rather sad...I never set myself up for success. I was always striving but never arriving. Just one step more to the gold...but could never let myself take the step. Sounds crazy doesn't it? Have you set yourself up for success? To get the love of your life, to travel and see the world, to have more of what you desire, to actually design your own life? Yes? Then I applaud you and rejoice in your ability. I'm just getting started. Better late than never:)
I learned that loving myself means to be happy, to design that happiness and what it looks like in my mind. Each day is happier now, every moment is spent doing the striving but celebrating the wins!! I am winning at the game of life...and the game is always on!
