How Wonderful Can You Be
Today?

"The greatest discovery of my generation
is that human beings can alter their lives
by altering their attitudes of mind."
-- William James
The word Eudaimonism comes from the Greek word for
happiness, eudaimonia. This is a very important word, because it represents
a philosophy which states that right actions lead to the greatest
well-being of every individual. The Eudaemons of ancient pre-Hellenic
Greece were guardian angels that watched over mortals, inspiring people to
do the best thing in each situation, and eudemonics is the art of happiness
that results from consistently doing what we know to be correct. Part of
the original concept of eudemonics is that taking right action naturally
leads to happiness, whereas doing what we know is wrong leads to
unhappiness. This concept that we can choose to live happy lives by doing
what we know to be right is one of the most relevant concepts we are likely
to encounter, as it holds the promise of greater joy for ourselves and for
everyone we interact with.
One of the biggest challenges facing people who consult with me for
spiritual life coaching is finding the most positive way to frame their
life experiences so they can most consistently find and take the best
possible action. Sometimes, people feel a sense of losing touch with what
brings them the most joy, and with a sense of doing what they are here to
do. The idea of doing the right thing is one which invites us to answer the
question:
"How wonderful can I be today?"
When you ask this question of the universe with all your heart and listen
for the answer, you will be consistently informed of more positive ways you
can think, speak, and behave in ways that shape your character from the
inside out, which in turn is guaranteed to improve the world.
 Cynthia SueLarson's vision statement |
Wherever you are, and whatever you are doing, there is something you can
think right now which will bring you and someone else greater love and
joy... and it will only take a moment of your time to take some action and
do. Set aside whatever you were doing and take some positive action by
following through on that positive thought right now, and notice how you
feel immediately afterward. Chances are that not only will you feel the
benefit of an immediate boost to your emotional well-being, you will also
feel uplifted and empowered in ways that stay with you through the rest of
today and into tomorrow. When you take a few minutes each day to do
something especially good for someone else, you will see ever-increasing
evidence of how you are improving your life as you improve the lives of
others.
While I practice several daily methods to boost my mood and keep my spirits
up, one of my very favorite ways to raise my spirits while envisioning my
life at its best is to watch my own personal vision statement,
which is something like a music video showing pictures and words that
correspond with my greatest dreams and aspirations. The tools and training
to create your own vision statement are readily available through Malcolm Cohan's vision
statement web site which can inspire you to further explore just how
wonderful you can be. And keep in mind that for the very best results, you
will do well to aim HIGH!
