Finding personal peace, well being and happiness has a lot to do with a bunch of G’s. How are you doing with the following G-factors?

Grudges – Nursing a grudge is a major cause of unhappiness. Harboring resentments is a major distraction and drain on our personal energy. It serves no purpose. Carefully contemplating past experiences, even those that created resentment, usually reveals that positive things ultimately emerged. Forgive others.

Guilt – Past mistakes and short-falls can be heavy burdens. Set them down and walk away. A critical step in finding peace is turning those things you wish never happened into lessons you are grateful to have learned. Usually giving up guilt involves sharing the truth with someone you trust, declaring it behind you, and moving on. Forgive yourself.

Go – Rigidly fighting conditions and circumstances you cannot change is a waste of time. Beating your head against the walls of disagreement just gives a head ache. You can acceptance is not agreement. Go with the Flow

Gather – Be with positive people. Single logs don’t burn well. Force yourself to get outside yourself with others. Feelings and attitudes are contagious. Find a group that can infect you with the positive and peaceful qualities you seek.

Good – Do the things and be the person you know you really are. Your instincts toward peace are right. Be good.

Gap – Set realistic goals and expectations. Close the gap between where you are and where you wish to be. This doesn’t mean give up your dream. It means set interim goals that you can attain and celebrate.

Give – Give time and treasure to others. Giving brings its own reward. Help someone else and watch the magic happen.

Gratitude – Cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Focus on what is and not on what is not. Choose your attitude. It begins with a smile. God – Find a power bigger than yourself in which to believe.
