As we get ready to begin a new year, I am pleased to share information to support you in increasing your optimism to boost your success. These two qualities go beautifully together, similar to a fine wine paired with the right food. Each one enhances the others ability to be its best. When you are feeling optimistic and are able to view the world from a place of positivity, your connection with others improves, as well as your ability to make decisions and move forward towards your goals and intentions with inspired action. This delicious combination will move you toward successe
Think of this blog as a tasty buffet of information sourced from a variety of places. A good bit of what will be shared will come from my Joy Factor philosophy shared in my book, The Joy Factor Recipe Book – A Common Sense Approacd to a Delicious Life. As an life long learner, you will also read information from the latest books and studies on the relationship between happiness and success.
My philosophy is that our life is like a cookbook and everyday we choose a different recipe to produce. The choice of ingredients you use in your recipe will make an impact on how “delicious” your recipe is. You can be the judge of your own cooking by noticing if you are moving through your days with ease or struggle, with productivity or stagnation, fulfillment or disappointment. From here you can adjust your ingredients so your days become more delicious.
The four ingredients that I’ll share from my book is Strategic Optimism, Self-Care, Authentic Expression and Passion. These will be complimented with other ingredients that I source along the way. Some of them you will be familiar with, others may be new. If you are tired of eating the same thing again and again, then you are in the perfect place to try something new to enhance the results you are experiencing.
Look for something new and tasty each week. When something resonates with you, I urge you to weave either the ingredient or new way of cooking into your day. The best that can happen is that you feel a bit more joy and actually reach your goals this year. Now that is delicious!
I will leave you with the words of the very wise Julia Child, “…Learn how to cook-try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!”
