Feeling Good Is The Ultimate In Living.

Feeling good is the ultimate in living. How do you figure? If you were to rate your aliveness on a scale of 1 to 10, where would you place yourself? What would determine your number on the scale? Is it what you ate for lunch? What someone else said to you? Does it depend on how many hours of sleep you got last night? Or is it perhaps, a choice?

Actually, a commitment! Well, what does that mean? From complaint to commitment is the name of this game. If I was to rate myself a 2 on the aliveness scale, the first question I would be asking myself is, "I wonder how I can enjoy more aliveness in myself and my life, today?"

And this question, I toss to you: Where would you rate yourself on the aliveness scale (or excited to feel alive) right now? Second, are you happy with your current results? And what would it take for you to rate yourself higher on the scale of aliveness?

Either way, the number you pick on scale is irrelevant, what is more important is how good do you feel, about yourself and life, in this moment? And if you're not exactly pleased with your current experience of reality, then go ahead and make a commitment to feel good. Do yourself a big favor and make a conscious, new commitment to feeling good and having fun, right here!

Despite the story of your life, how you experience it is your responsibility. It's a lot to take on, by just being here, but if your life is worth it, its your choice. Get a better problem and make how good can you feel and for how long your highest virtue.

Be willing to try on the commitment like you would a new pair of jeans, if they don't fit, you just try on another pair. At least you gave yourself a chance at feeling good and being courageous enough to try on something most people think is just child's play, when in actuality, could be the greatest commitment you ever made.

Today, I commit to feeling good and having fun and to doing so in the face of all that might distract me from really enjoying myself!
