Be Fully Engaged With Your Life

Those are the moments that stand out in your memory...those moments when you felt fully alive, fully engaged, and "all in!" How would you like to live your life like that most of the time? It is not only possible, it's how you were designed to operate. You have a brilliant mind and a magnificent body, and you are designed to fully utilize your capacities for engagement and enthusiastic expression.


Seek Openings & Opportunities To Engage


Your Goodfinding mind is always looking for something to be grateful for, to appreciate, and to look forward to. And every one of those positive points of focus are openings and opportunities for full engagement with your life. Keep working daily and diligently on your mental and emotional fitness, by finding, focusing on, savoring and amplifying all of the good that is in your mind, your body, your relationships, and the vast, amazing world around you.

Every positive point of focus...any small or large comfort, kindness or convenience provides an opening and an opportunity for you to expand into full engagement with your life. What does it mean to be fully engaged? It means you are saying an enthusiastic "Yes!" to each day, each moment, each challenge that lies before you.

Remember...savor and welcome the good that comes, and say to yourself, "More of this, please!" When the not-so-good comes along, say to yourself, "What good will come from this?" and "I look forward to becoming smarter and stronger because of this!" That's the formula...apply it...it works!
