What are You Making Up?

There is one thing I know is 100% certain.
We all make things up.
Whether you think that you are going to have a good day or a bad day. – it is made up. You may be thinking you can easily reach your goals, or that you cannot. It is made up. You could make up that if you don’t work hard you are lazy and if you do work hard you are stressed out. The list is endless.
Many years ago, I learned this concept of how we make things up. Since then, I have been exercising my ability to use my MSU to make a positive impact in this world.
You now have an MSU…yes…who knew you would be getting an honorary degree today.
Now the fun begins, you can make up some really good stuff to concoct the delicious life you have been craving. Or , your days can be ordinary and bland.
This is how it works, when you think something, that’s right… you choose your thoughts, no one chooses them for you.
Specific situations can impact those thoughts…ultimately, you have the power to think what you want to think.
So, what do you want to make up?
Your purposeful life begins when positivity permeates your being.
Not a light statement, I know. Yet, when you begin to script the story of your life with intentional thoughts, confidence and hopefulness infuse your days.
When your actions are based on this kind of sureness, your days become a bit more enjoyable and easy…or is it easy and enjoyable? Either way, you love your life a whole lot more.
That is why we are here you know.
Our brain knows that and our cells know that.
The science of positive thinking speaks directly to increased possibilities when you are positive. Being flexible and nimble when it comes to navigating life’s choices is essential.
Barb Frederickson, positive psychologist, states this in her theory of Broaden and Build. When you broaden your sense of possibility and open your mind, you will build new skills and resources that will add value to all areas of your life.
Soooo…what will you make up today? You get to choose.
If you are feeling good most of your day, you are making up the good stuff.
If not, then time to reap the benefit of having an MSU and making up something different.
From there, new results and boom, you are experiencing a taste of the joy of peak performance.
Try it on and see how it feels.
