Life is Beautiful. It struck me that those three simple words are as powerful a statement as any well constructed “I am…” statement. When asked, “How are you?”, simply responding, “life is beautiful” declares somewhere, somehow, in your life, that is true. Notice, I did not suggest you respond, “Everything is beautiful” (but that would be a next step). I am saying make a declarative statement that you know and believe, life is beautiful.
This week I had a number of challenges in any given day. A friend wrote me a concerned message. I responded that “Life is great. Everyone I love is covered — they may be covered in crap at the moment, but they are covered!” That was my way of saying, I see the issues, I have done what I could, and now I will put my focus on seeing good.
Dr. Success Challenge: For the next 7 days, every time someone asks you how you are, respond: Life is Beautiful! Make note of how you feel, regardless of the challenges you are handling. If you notice you are responding positively, keep it up! It is that simple.
Thank you.
