I agree with you that "the effort alone is fulfilling." Good to see you here again!

Right! Ive often heard insanity is repeating the same misakes over again. I find iam always happier whilst accomplishing change...try to set 3 simple goals a week. The effort alone is fulfilling (taking the recycling, organizing X drawer or closet. Maybe all the three aren't achieved but participating and being present (actively) in my environment is extremely rewarding. It's literally "taking care"....and that promotes love.....for me, in my life, anyhow.

Jonathan, thanks for stopping by and commenting. I think we are all in the same boat when it comes to having to consciously redirect our focus towards what we want. There is so much all around us that can get us thinking of what we don't have rather than what we do have. On the other hand, we can operate from the mindset of what I don't have will never stop me from using what I do have. We always have enough love, faith and determination if we find a way to tap into the amount we have.

The mindset is a powerful thing! Great post... I constantly have to refocus my brain and when I do great things happen, but when I don't that is when results are nowhere to be found.

Thanks Randall, I always appreciate your comments. I like your reframe about the time involved in reaching our goals. It's not that we haven't reached a particular goal, it's that we haven't reached it just yet.

Yes, I agree Alan. What I focus on gets done. Those who focus on failures are doomed to repeat them. Those brick walls in life are there not to stop us, but to show the indominable spirit within us. For most of us, the goals we set are attainable. The time period may have been underestimated.
