“I feel therefore I am”, are the famous words of a 17th century French philosopher Rene Descartes who made them the foundation of his philosophy.
Feelings… Feelings are part of our lives. We feel something all the time. Our feelings define us. They tell us who we are and what is our mindset at this very moment. We think that depending where we are and what it is that we are doing determines how we feel. Let’s look at the last statement. Are circumstances define us…or… we define them? We might have two people in the same situation and their behavior will be totally different. What makes that difference? Their mindset. One person feels good and reacts accordingly while the other has a completely opposite reaction. They both perceive the same situation from the point of their feelings and assess it differently. And here we have the famous half full glass. But what happens when a person sees a half full glass? It means that this person has a right mindset and as a result takes different actions and before we know it their glass is overflowing!!!
Let’s go back to the words “I feel therefore I am”. The question is: What is it that I feel right now? Am I happy? Do I feel love? Because, that will determine how I look at everything, including myself. It will answer the most important question: Who am I?
Am I brilliant? Special? Amazing? Exceptional? When you feel love at this moment then YOU ARE!!! When you feel love for yourself you bring all those incredible qualities to the surface. You become calm, confident and things become easy and fun. When you feel love for others, you create the most amazing relationships, incredibly successful professional life and health, etc. You see, you create everything in your life by the way you feel. Only when you feel good do you create what you desire.
So, let’s give another look at those incredible words. “I feel therefore I am”. What does that mean to YOU in practice? This is your applicable translation. I feel love therefore I am extremely successful in every area of my life.
So, feel more love…then feel more love…then feel more love…then…keep going!
When you do that, truly do that, you will see potential everywhere and your life will become an incredible fun adventure. It will become truly…Magical!!!
Have an absolutely magical week, full of LOVE, GRATITUDE and FUN!!!
