Today's Lesson and watch out for the woodpecker

Your Focus Creates Your Emotional State

When you feel happy or joyful, ask yourself, "What am I focusing on right now that is giving me these good feelings?" 

The more time you spend focusing on similar patterns, the more time you will spend feeling happy and joyful.

When you feel unhappy, ask yourself, "What am I focusing on right now that is causing me these distressful feelings?"

 The less time you spend on similar patterns of focus, the more time you will feel happy.

Fully understanding that your focus creates your emotional state, for better or for worse, is one

 of the most important lessons we can learn.

Love Yehuda--enjoy the Noah cartoon below

Too cute, read the after the cartoon.     The woodpecker might have to go! Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah 's Ark. One : Don't miss the boat. Two : Remember that we are all in the same boat. Three : Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. Four : Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big. Five : Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done. Six : Build your future on high ground. Seven : For safety  sake, travel in pairs. Eight : Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs. Nine : When you're stressed, float a while. Ten : Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals. Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.
