Relationships
|
Usually we enter
relationships hoping they will make us
happy. We hope that this one is the right
one, that we are not repeating mistakes of
the past, and that finally we will receive
the love, support and companionship we have
been seeking.
Although this approach to relationships is

because happiness comes and goes. It has to,
because happiness depends upon
circumstances. When things go well, we are
happy. When we get what we want, when the
sun is shining, others value us, our
boyfriend finally pops the question, these
are moments of happiness.
Joy is different. It doesn't come and go, or
depend upon outer circumstances. When things
are difficult, when our hopes are not

made about ourselves, and others. It
involves taking responsibility for our lives

referred to as a trigger. It’s best described as an unbridled

control you.

PowerTool: Your
Desire Card
This is really a "cheap trick" in that it costs you practically
nothing, but it can change your life. How's that for an intro?
Take a 3x5 note card. Turn it to where the 3" is at the top,
like
a small sheet of paper.
Write this at the top in large print:
"IS THIS WHAT I TRULY DESIRE?"
Under that, draw a line down the center of the card. On the
left column, write "YES", and on the right, write "NO".

In the same sense...
* When you focus on the negative aspects of other people, they
tend to bother you more often.
* When you focus on the negative aspects of your business/work, you
tend to feel more
uptight, annoyed or stressed.
It is not that people, work or life bothers us. Rather, it is
the negative aspects of people, work or life that we focus on that tend to
bother us.
Becoming resilient to pressure is a choice.
How fast you bounce back from stress, pressure and burnout is a choice.

to be resilient?
