I hear too many people complaining about the circumstances surrounding their lives. Most people want more peace and joy because life has become too busy, too stressful and too negative.
Note that whenever there is a gap between what you are capable of being and what you are doing at any point, you will experience discontent, anxiety and depression. Life has a way of getting your attention. Use it to get you back on course to a more loving, peaceful life.

You have the power to create the life you want.
You have the power to choose what you focus on.

I rarely watch the news. Yes, I do read the newspaper. I like being informed. I also, use it as my gauge of growth and detachment. Not always good because I can get wrapped up in the craziness.
What I do know is I pay attention to how I feel. I use my emotional guidance system. And, most of the time I can shift my energy to a higher vibration and get out of those negative thoughts and feelings pretty quickly. I am determined to live in peace and joy.
I know I have the power to choose again and choose a better feeling thought.
The Power is in the freedom of choice.
- Realize that you have the freedom to choose what you want more of in your life.
- Become more conscious of how you are feeling.
- Then do something that makes you feel better.
Find simple things that can help you be in a more joyful, happy place. Be in a higher vibration.

- Seventy-six percent of people in their 60s say being generous is a source of happiness as reported by AARP.
Imagine what your life will look like when you have the peace and joy you want.
Since you have freedom of choice, fill your life up with more things that matter to you, that bring those feelings to you.
Take an inventory of what you are filling your days with. Change what you are doing if you find yourself feeling like life is negative.
Where is the discontent or frustration? Spend less time with people who drain your energy. What are you listening to – TV, radio, social media? Is it uplifting or negative? What are you reading – newspapers, books? Are these sources filling you up with peace and joy? If not, choose differently.
