I have spent the past couple of days reading voraciously, from topics ranging from the dissociative personality to how to improve your psychic abilities, with a little bit of Virginia Woolf thrown in for some good mental gymnastics. Still, what each book seems to be popping out with are stories of people making good things happen in their lives, despite very challenging circumstances.

So, what do we do when it all goes right, instead of wrong? Dramas don’t give us much information about that, other than a montage of shots showing the smiling couple, the young exec striding down the corridors of power to his hard-won corner office, or, at the end of the fairy tale, “And they lived happily ever after. The End.”

Well, gentle readers, listen up. Here’s a secret…ready? When it all goes right….Enjoy the heck out of it!

Seriously, have a blast when things are going great. Enjoy your days, months, or even years of peace and happiness. Reassure your friends and loved ones that hey, if you could manage to pull it off, so can they!

While life is almost never easy for everyone all the time, it isn’t supposed to be an unmitigated vale of tears, either. Likewise, when the stars align and you finally seem to pull it all together, enjoy it. Relish it, and be sure to pay close attention to it so you can remember, when times get tough, that if you had it once you can have it again. True, you may never have the identical circumstances of peace and pleasure, because life constantly changes. But you can feel those feelings again…feelings of peace, of victory, of contentment, of joy.

And here’s another secret…the more time you spend in positively-directed meditation, contemplation or prayer, the easier it will be for you to feel those things again…regardless of circumstances! How cool is that?

Good luck!
