For the first time, last year I didn’t complete the
Blogathon. I could have considered this a poor effort however have learned not
to criticise myself, and instead practice taking a reasoned approach. I have
arrived at the conclusion that 2014 was a challenging year for the majority of
us and we have all learned many valuable lessons. Perhaps the most important
lesson I learnt is to, ‘go with the flow.’ I will speak more about this in the first
article of the new Blogathon.
Initially I was going to continue with ‘Have Questions?~Have Answers!!!’ however, I was given a new topic this morning and will run
with that as it is a New Year filled with inspiration. Importantly, 'HQHA' can be added to gradually
until all 52 instalments are complete- or simply be cut short!
Our 2015 Blogathon, ‘Give Thanks~Feel Joyful’ is focused
around a very important subject, gratitude. When we give thanks we raise our
mood, our vibration, and the more things we can be thankful for the better we
feel. Our ideal goal is to attain a continually joyful state therefore we should do our best to avoid
negativity, worry and seriously stressful situations. Obviously
life is designed to challenge every emotion and puts us in places of discomfort
and pain, encouraging our ability to find solutions and grow. Let’s just
consider the major blessing of all severely challenging situations including
the evil in this world- Through
experiencing such things we come to know and appreciate the good things in life
including our values, hopes and dreams. We need highs to appreciate lows
otherwise life would be like a long stretch of motorway- YAWN! So to start you
off, just think- if you are reading this you have access to a computer and
that’s a blessing!
A point for
consideration: We are born with a right to love and happiness with the
majority of us in a position to create our own futures. Yes, some people are
born into severe hardship and we don’t have all the answers, but if the ‘haves’
used their mental powers for good the lives of the ‘have-nots’ could be
significantly improved. So why focus on being thankful? Before you can change
anything in this world you need the right mindset, and gratitude is the
foundation for change.
