A phenomenal life...

I went hiking today. I haven't done that in a long time and I didn't even realize there was this great place to hike only twenty minutes from my house! I love it because getting out in nature for me is a way to renew myself and a place to clear my head from all the distracting thoughts of life. This was true today as well. I am reading The Secret for the second time and one of the quotes in the book says, Life can be absolutely phenomenal, and it should be, and it will be. I have always strived for a full life and to pursue all that life has to offer. This year, I feel that with much more passion than before. I do believe in the laws of attraction and that what we put out into the world will come back to us. It makes sense that if we dwell on the negative or if we believe that we can't succeed, then that is what will happen. So why can't we dream big and believe that the impossible... is possible? A phenomenal life can be defined differently for everyone. I have accomplished a lot in 34 years and have what I believe is a very full, rich life. However, I am not satisfied, and there are much bigger things on my life's "to do list" that I want to work hard at seeing become a reality. I will save that for a different blog, but today I was reminded that to see it happen, I need to fully believe that it will happen. Having been unemployed now for two months, it is easy to become somewhat complacent, but today I was reminded that this is all part of the plan (that I probably "attracted" my unemployement). I know that when one door closes, another one opens and I have the chance now to really focus in on what life is about and what my reason is for being here. It's exciting and life is so good and I continue to give thanks for all the good things in my life. I want the phenomenal life not only for myself but for everyone else as well! All we have to do is believe. I am really glad I took that hike today.
